SECRETARY LONG IS TO RESIGN Ollier Member* Will Probably Finish Their Terms — Senators Pay Respect* to Mr. Roosevelt — Secretary C'ortelyou Remains With Roosevelt. WASHINGTON, Sept. 21.—After a suspense of three days as a mark of respect to the dead president the busi ness of the government at Washing ton was resumed yesterday. The train bearing President Roosevelt and his cabinet arrived at the Pennsylvania station at y: 20 o'clock and fifteen min utes lates the president entered the white house and going to the elevator proceeded at once to the cabinet loom, where President McKinley was wont to do most of his work. When the new chief executive reached the white house he walked briskly to the big front door, which swung wide open to receive him. Secretary Long, who soon joined him, informed the president as to the condition of affairs in his office and was asked as to the work of the Schley court of inquiry. With Senator Cullom. President Roosevelt exchang ed pleasant greetings and received the assurance of the hearty support of the Illinois senator. With Senator Proc tor there was a similar exchange of expressions of good will. The president's former secretary, Mr. Loeb, jr.. will remain with him probably as assistant secretary. Mr. Cortelyou, at the president's earnest request, will retain his position as his secretary. At. 11 o’clock all the members of the cabinet bad arrived at the white bouse and soon were seated around the fa miliar table. President Roosevelt oc cupied a seat at the head and in the chair long occupied by -his predecessor. It all seemed strange to these devoted advisers of the dead president, to sit at the table without him at its head, and the gloom and solemnity which characterized the meeting was not unbefitting the occasion. Nearly all 1he members of the present cabinet are quite sure to remain during Mr. Roosevelt’s term, but it is very prob able that Secretary Long will retire within the next few months. He feels that he ran resign without embarrass ment to Mr. Roosevelt and therefore it is thought that within the next few months he will ask the president to permit him to retire to private life. The cabinet was in session about an hour and a half, all of the time be ing spent in a genera) review of the more important questions which will require the attention of the new pres ident. All Hie members were present ex cept Attorney General Knox, who stopped for a few days in Pittsburg. Bach member explained to the presi dent the policy which had been fol lowed in dealing with the mutters under consideration and their present status. No new business was taken up. Members subsequently expressed themselves as having full confidence in Mr. Roosevelt's ability to give the country a strong, able and conserva tive administration, and he will have their loyal support to the same de gree as they gave it to the late pres ident. It is thought that Tuesdays and Fridays will be selected by the new chief executive as cabinet days, following in this ihe preference of Mr. McKinley. DIETRICH HOMEWARD BOUND Senator Reach*** San Franciico and at Once Start* for Nebraska SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 21.—United States Senator Charles H.

WHERE PRESIDENT M’KINLEY LIES Nearly in View of tli© Lata Home of the Chief Kxecnttve. CANTON. 0.. Sept. 20—Nature has been kind in selecting the last rest ing place for President McKinley. West Lawn cemetery is on a high knoll, overlooking the peaceful valley, with the little city of Canton laid out below. If it were not for an inter vening church spile one might get from this elevation a glimpse of the McKinley home. Here the body of William McKinley is laid to rest. The beauty of the grounds here attracted the attention of the country's best landscape gardeners, who have jour neyed here to study its attractions. Today it was doubly beautiful, with the rustling trees giving off their first yellowed leaves of fall and adding a golden touch to the green-clad slopes. Just, inside the stately entrance stands the gray stone vault, where for a time the casket will repose. Its dreary ex terior was today relieved by great masses of flowers, banked all about until the gray walls were shut out from view. But in due time it will he taken from the vault and committed to the little plot of ground lying farthei on. This is the McKinley lot and here lie his father, whose name he bore, the moth er he guarded so tenderly in life, his brother Janies, his sister Anna and his two children. And when the time comes a stately shaft of granite will rise above the grave, telling of the civic virtues, the pure life and the martyred death of William McKinley. WIDOW’S PHYSICIAN HOPffUl Dr. Rixey Says She Is Doing an Well as Any Woman Could CANTON, O.. Sept. 20—The friends of Mrs. McKinley do not regard her as being on tile verge of collapse.

She has been and is still suffering intensely from her bereave ment. and has frequently given way to jobs and tears, hut for all that she has been doing as well as any woman could do under similar circumstances.” HufTalo Tragedy Re-enaeten.

Canton Citizens Take Touching Furwell of Their Martyred Townsman. THRONGS EROM OVER THE STATE Crowd So Great that Many Cannot Gain the Parting Look — Cloning of the Ca« ket In the Court Houne, Perhapit for the Last Time. CANTON, O., Sept. 19.—Tenderly and reverently those who had known William McKinley best yesterday re ceived his martyred body into their arms. They had forgotten the illus trious career of the statesman in the loss of a great personal friend who had grown deearer to them with the passing of the years. They hardly noticed the president of the United States or his cabinet, or the generals and admirals, in their resplendent uniforms. The llag-draped casket which contained the body of their friend and fellow townsman held all their thoughts. He had left them two weeks ago this very day in the full tide of the strength of a glorious manhood, and they had brought him back dead. Anguish was in the heart of every man, woman and child. Tlie entire population of the little city and thousands from all over Ohio, the full strength of the National Guard of tlie state—eight regiments, three batteries of artillery, one bat talion of engineers, 5,000 men in all— the governor, lieutenant governor and a justice of the supreme court, repre senting the three branches of the state government, were at the station to re ceive the body. The whole town was in deep black. The only house in all this sorrow stricken city without a touch of mourning drapery was the old famil iar cotttage on North Market street, to which so many distinguished men of the country have made pilgrimages in the times that are gone. The blinds were down, but there was no out ward token of tlie blow that had robbed it of its most precious posses sion. Tlie flowers bloomed on the lawn as they did two weeks ago. There was not even a bow' of crepe on tlie door when the stricken widow was carried by Abner McKinley anti Dr. Rixey into the darkened home. Only the hitching post at the curb in front of the residence had been swathed in black by the citizens in order that it might conform to the general scheme of mourning decora tions that had been adopted. Sad as was the procession which bore the body to the court house where it lay in state this afternoon, it could not compare with tlie infinite sadness of that endless line of broken hearted people who streamed steadily through tlie dimly lighted corridors from the time the coffin was opened until it was taken home to the sar i-owing widow at nightfall. They stepped softly lest their footfalls wake their friend from his last long sleep. Tears came unbidden to wet the bier. Perhaps it was the great change that had come upon the countenance which moved them more than tlie sight of the familiar features. The signs of discoloration which appeared upon the brow and cheeks yesterday at the state ceremonial in the rotunda of the capitol at Washington had deepened. The lips had become livid. All but two of the lights of the chan delier above the head were dis tinguish in order that the change might appear less noticeable, but ev eryone who viewed the body remarked the darkened features and the ghastly lips. When the body was taken away thousands were still in line and tlie committee in charge of tlie arrange ments was appealed to to allow a further opportunity today before tlie body is taken to the church. But this had to be denied to them and tha casket may never be opened again. MINISTER ROUGHLY HANDLED. Sp«:tkf* I iiBtnnatlngly of Druri I’rrulHeiit and in Turret! and l eathered HUNTINGTON. Inti.. Sept. 19.—Jos eph A. Wildman, a United Brethren minister, was tarred and feather by a crowd of one hundred last night, and turned loose to wander back home be cause on Sunday night lie rose in prayer meeting in one of the city churches and said: “I suppose there have been more lies told from the pulpit and sacred desk today than was ever known be fore. While I want to give all honor that is due Mr. McKinley, still when he was living he was nothing but a political demagogue.” I’bi ket Content** $u«piciouK.

De Tamos was sentenced for a technical violation of the pension laws. He is the man who slept in the speak er's chair in the Alabama house as a tramp, and within two years was elect ed a member. A New Zealand Katelirlt. A graceful act of reverence to th® Duchess of York Is reported from Ohlnemutu, New Zealand. After alighting from the coach they had to traverse a rather muddy road leading to the village. This was noticed by the native clergyman, Mr. Ratama Te Awe Kotuku. who took off his korowai mat, and, Raleigh-like, threw it in the worst place on which the duchess would have to cross. l'oputnr CouutrHB in American. The large part which Count von Waldersee is occupying in public at tention has brought out many kindly comments on the countess, which al ways include a mention of the fact that she is an American. It is re called that she is the only woman who ever came off victorious in en counters with the late Prince Bis marck, to whose downfall she is al leged to have contributed. Ugly women should always avoid a glare of jewels. Tlie A Impure of It. If there is any truth in the saying that happiness is the absence of all pain, mental anil physical, the enjoy ment of it can only he found in hea ven. But so far as the physical is con cerned, it is within easy reach; at least measurably so, as fur as cure will go. The sum of human misery in this line is made up of greater or less de grees of physical suffering. The minor aches and pains which afflict mankind are easy to reach and as easily cured. There are none in the whole category, which, if taken in time, cannot he cured. They must In some form af flict (he nerves, the hones, the muscles and joints of (he human body. They are ail more or less hurtful and waste ful to (he system. St. Jacob's Oil Is made to cure them, to search out hid den pain spots, and to cure promptly in a true remedial and lasting way. Very, very many have not known hap piness for years till they used it, ami very many are putting off cure and happiness because they don't use it. The best policy for a woman is to extend the chains of her lover. THE CHEAPEST PAINT The economy in using Devoe ready paint is in re sults more than price.
