A ltrief Dlocraphlciil Sketch.
Succumbs to Disease.
CANTON , Dec. 13. Mrs. Nancy Al
lison McKinley passed from life at a
few minutes past 2 o'clock Sunday
morning with all her children and
other immediate relatives at her bed
side. She did not suffer any in her
last hours , but gradually passed from
the deep palsied sleep , in which she
has rested almost constantly for the
last ten days , into the sleep of death.
President McKinley continued his
vigil all day , much as he has the pre
ceding days. He sat almost constant
ly in the sick room and there secured
about all the rest he had. His atten
tion has been almost wholly given to
the patient , watching intently for ihe
slightest change. Late in the after
noon he and his wife emerged from the
house and took a few turns on the
porch for exercise and a little fresh
air and a little later he and his
brother Abner had a similar walk.
Aside from this he has scarcely been
cut of the room. He is kept informed
of the affairs of state at Washington
by communications from the White
house , and judging from the calls of
messengers , there are many telegrams
of sympathy and solicitious inquiry
being received from friends of the
mother and son in various parts of the
country.
The demise of Mrs. Kinley was pain
less. All night long the members of
the family were watching and waking
for the time of dissolution. From 11
clock until the time of death the
McKinley house was quiet and shroud
ed in stillness that was suggestive of
the mournful scenes within the wal-s.
No response could be obtained by
messengers and reporters who sought
in van. for news. Sohrtly befoi" n-id- .
nighi the attendants discovered what
were thought to be certain signs of
dissolution. The fact was communi
cated to the inmates of the household
who had gone to their rooms but had
nr.t retired.
Around the deathbed when the filial
stfne was enacted was President Mc
Kinley , his wife , Abner McKinley.
Mrs. Duncan and Mias ! felon McKin
ley children of the aged woman. The
aged sister was theio , Mrs. Abigail
Osborne , the only one of the Allison
family now living. ? vlrs. Bowman , of
Lcraine , Misses Grace and Mabel Mc
Kinley , James McKinley , .Miss Dun
can and Jack Duncan , grandchildren ,
were all in the sad party that witness
ed the last scene in the gentle life.
The president and his wife remained
at the bedside for an hour after the
enu.
enu.Funeral
Funeral services over the remains
of Mrs. Nacy Allison McKinley will be
held in the First Methodist ! • : , iscopai
church at 1 o'clock Tuesday after- -
noon. Interment will follow in Forest
Lawn cemetery just west of the city- ,
and Tuesday evening President Mc V
Kinley and wife and officials from' ' ,
Washington who attened the funeral
will leave for the capital , reaching
there about noon Wednesday.
Pallbearers have been selected from
among the older members of the
church and those who for years have
been colse friends and neighbors of
the deceased. They are : Judge William
'R. Day , Hon. William A. Lvnch , ex-
Mayor R. A. Cassidy , L. L. Miller , W.
W. Clark , Judge T. J. McCarty , David
Zollars , ex-Mayor John F. Blake.
Mrs. McKinley was born near Lis
bon , O. , in 1809. In 1S27 she married
William McKinley , a young iron man
ufacturer. Nine children were born to
them , four of whom are now living
Helen , who has resided with her
mother ; Mrs. A. J. Duncan , of Cleve
land ; Abner McKinley , of New York ,
and William McKinley , the president.
Her husband died in November , 1892 ,
at.he age of 85 years.

CIVIL SERVICE.
It Was Under DImcursIoii In the tower
Ifoime.
WASHINGTON , Dec. 12. In a dis
cussion in the house before adjourn
ment over Saturday the civil service
lav/ was savagely attacked by several
members , notably Mr. Brown ( rep. , O. )
and was warmly defended by Mr.
Johnson , ( rep. , Ind. ) Mr. Brown at
tacked the civil service law because
It protected some of the pension ex
amining boards appointed under the
last administration. He styled it "an
abomination" and was lustly applaud
ed by many of his coleagues. He said
the soldiers of his district regarded
this law as Inimical to their interests
and he favored its repeal or a radical
modification. He declared that the
president was mistaken when he af
firmed that the civil service law had
the approval of the people. The re
publicans and the press of his dis
trict hr.d denounced it. The last re
publican state convention of Ohio had
declared analnst the law and on that
rlatform he stood.
Mr. Bromwell ( rep. , O. ) said he con
curred with much said by his col
league , Mr. Brown , but ho insisted
that true civil service reform was a
cardinal principle of republicanism.
He believed that Grover Cleveland
had done more to discredit the true
spirit of civil service reform than
all the agencies combined , and he
thought Mr. McKinley could be re
lied upon to bring it back into its
proper channel.
Mr. Johnson ( rep. . Ind. ) in defense
of civil service reform , which he said
was being attacked on this floor by
members from the president's own
state , reiterated hi3 statement of the
other day that civil service reform
was an essential principle of repub
licanism. He referred to the declara
tions of state republican conventions
and read from the platforms of re
publican national conventions for
twenty years in support of his con
tention. Hayes , Garfield , Harrison
and McKinley all stood for the law
and the president's last utterance in
its favor had received the overwhelm
ing indorsement of the republican
press of the country. Mr. . Johnson
declared that the enemies of the law-
dare not attack it openly. They
hoped , as "the friends of true civil
service reform , " to tear it down piece
meal and do covertly what they fear
ed to attempt directly.
"Do you favor life tenture in of
fice ? " asked Mr. Pearson ( rep. , N. C. )
"I do in the civil service , " replied
Mr. Johnson emphatically. "I believe
that the offices are public trusts , held
by the people who deserve them ; that
they are not owned by politicians
to be used for rewarding their friends.
I believe any bright boy , no matter
how humble origin , who does not
happen to have a political pull should
be allowed to demonstrate his fitness
for office , and that the office should
not be served to the son of some man
who happens to control a ft .w votes
which can be used to shape the dest
iny of some mediocre politician for of
fice. ( Great applause. )

The Ni'iv Tea I art- .
NEW YORK. Dee. 13 The new tea
law of March 2. 1897. went into effect
on May 1 , 1897. A comparison of the
operation of the old law and the new
is of interest. It will be remembered
that this tea law is in the interest of
the purity of the merchandise import
ed , and as a reason for the new law it
was claimed that the law which was
in force prior to 1897 was ineffective.
This would apDear to be true , con
sidering the operation of the new law
at the port of New York as given out
by the United States appraiser Satur
day. In 1S96 only 750 packages of tea
were rejected , while for the same
period this year were 18.259. During
the same period of 189G 083,647 packi i
aces were imported and in 1897 501 , -

The German naval department has
sent Instruction to Kiel to dispatch
200 artillerymen with field guns and
1,000 marines to China.
The opinion prevails that Germany

evacuation.
According to the official returns , the

Inventors sometimes make the mis
take in passing by simple inventions
as unimportant. A Council Bluffs , la. ,
inventor will undoubtedly before long
be mentioned as one of the inventors
who made a fortune simply because he
pressed a series of rings into a little
circular disk of metal , resembling
nothing so much as a bottom out of an
oil can. This little invention , which we
have mentioned before.forms a sound
ing toy and when properly vibrated
produces simply wonderful results. In

TL & O. Improvement * Completed. |
The improvements on the main line j |
of the Baltimore and Ohio , west of , H
and between Martinsburg , W. Va. , ami * H
North Mountain , were completed No- L M
vember 1st. They cover a distance of Wm\
nearly four miles , starting three miles H
west of Martinsburg , and extending H
some distance west of Myers Hole , H
which is near the North Mountain sta- 3 |
tion. At Myers Hole the line waa m WM
changed , taking out some very ebjee- H
tionable curvature , and the roadbed H
raised nearly lifteen feet , eliminating H
two grades of 42 feet per miles which |
came together at Myers Hole , and sub- |
stitutiug therefor an almost level | H
track. This point on the road has j H
always been a dangerous one and |
many freight wrecks have occurred H
there. Apart from doing away with H
the dangerous feature of two sharp H
down grades coming together , as was H
the case in this instance , the saving in H
operation of the road by the change W M
will be very large , as It enables the- W M
tons per train to be greatly Increased" WM
and reduces the liability to accident to H
the minimum. mm
At Tablers the road bed has been mm
lowered about thirteen feet , and the j M
same at Tabbs , besides taking out ob- mmW
jectionable curvature and reducing the J M
rate of grades at these points from 42 H
feet per mile to ten feet per mile , thns fl fl
increasing the cars that can be hauled 'il r mmmmm\ \
per train. Though these improve- _ u l
ments nave cost quite a sum of money , * l
the expenditure is fully justified by mmM
the great saving in operation. mmM
