SECRETARY LONG IS TO RESIGN
Other Members Will lrolmbly Finish
Their Term Senators Iny Respects
to Mr Kvoierelt Secretary Cortelyou
Rcmnlna With Kooievalt
WASHINGTON Sept 21 After a
suspense of tjirqe 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 920 oclock and fifteen min
utes lates the president entered the
white house and going to the elevator
proceeded at once to the cabinet
room where President McKinley was
wont to do most of liis 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
Culloir 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 presidents former secretary
Mr Loeb jr will remain with him
probably as assistant secretary Mr
Cortelycu at the presidents earnest
request will retain his position as his
secretary
At 11 oclock all the members of the
cabinet had arrived at the white house
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
advisere 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
the members of the present cabinet
are quite sure to remain during Mr
Roosevelts term but it is very prob
able ihat Secretary Long will retire
within the next few months He feels
that he can 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 general review of the
more important questions which will
require the attention of the new pres
ident
All the members were present ex
cept Attorney General Knox who
stopped for a few days in Pittsburg
Each member explained to the presi
dent the policy which had been fol
lowed in dealing with the matters
under consideration and their present
status No new business was taken
up
Members subsequently expressed
themselves as having full confidence
in Mr Roosevelts ability to give the
country a strong able and conserva
tive administration and he will have
their loyal support to the snme de
gree as they gave it to the late pres
ident It is thought that Tuesdays
and Fridays will he selected by the
new chief executive as cabinet days
following in this the preference of Mr
McKinley

WHERE PRESIDENT MINIEY LIES
Nearly In View of the Lato Home of the
Chief Ksecutlvo
CANTON O 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 spire 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 countrys 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 be taken from
the vault and committed to the little
plot of ground lying farther 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 James his sister Anna and
his two children And when the time
conies 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

has enjoyed for the last five years
Dr Rixey said late this afternoon
Mrs McKinley is bearing up as well
as could be expected under the cir
cumstances She has been and is still
suffering intensely from her bereave
ment and has frequently given way to
sobs and tears but for all that she
has been doing as well as any woman
could do under similar circumstances

CANTON 0 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 flag 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
The entire population of the little
city and thousands from all over Ohio
the full strength of the National
Guard of the state eight regiments
three batteries of artillery one bat
talion of engineers 5000 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 bod jr
The whole town was in deep black
The only house in artl 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 the blow that had
robbed it of its most precious posses
sion The flowers bloomed on the
lawn as they did two weeks ago
There was not even a bow of crepe
on the door when the stricken widow
was carried by Abner McKinley ana
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 the infinite
sadness of that endless line of broken
hearted people who streamed steadily
through the dimly lighted corridors
from the time the coffin was opened
until it was taken home to the sor
rowing 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 the
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 the
committee in charge of the arrange
ments was appealed to to allow a
further opportunity today before the
body is taken to the church But
this had to be denied to them and the
casket may never be opened again

The Absence of It
If there is any truth in the saying
that happiness is the absence of all
pain mental and physical the enjoy
ment of it can only be found in hea
ven But so far as the physical is con
cerned it is within easy reach at
least measurably so as far 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 be
cured They must in some form af
flict the neives the bones the muscles
and joints of the human body They
are all more or less hurtful and waste
ful to the system St Jacobs 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 and
very many are putting off cure and
happiness because they dont use it
The best policy for a woman is to
extend the chains of her lover
