CWTOV, o.. Sept. 18. Tenderly and
rovern'l.' theso who bail known William
McKlnlcy licet tcdny received his martyred'
body Into their arms. They hail forgotten1
the llluMrlous carter of the statesman In
the less of n grrat personal friend who hud
grown dearer to thorn with the passing of
tho yours, They hardly notlcrd the prcsl-j
dent of tho United States or his cabinet,
or the generals nnd admirals, In their,
resplendent uniforms. Tho ling-draped
casket which contained the foody of their
friend nnd fellow townsman held nil thrlr
thoughts. Ho had left then) two weeks ago
Ihls very dny In tho full tide of the strength
ot n glorious munhood, and they hud
brought him linck dead. Anguish was In the
peart of every man, woman nnd child.

body.
Whole 'I' nun In lltncU.
Thn wholo town was In deep, black. Tho
only housa In all this sorrow-stricken city
without n touch of mourning drnpery wasj
tho old familiar McKlnley cottnge on North
Market street, to which so mnny distin
guished men of tho country havo mado pil
grimages In tho times that arc gone. The
bllmta were, down, but there wns no out
ward token of tho blow that had robbed It
cf Its most precious possession. Tho flow-
trs bloomed on tho Inwn as they did two1
Weoka ago. Thcro was not ovon a bow of
crepo on the door when the stricken widow
was carried by Aimer McKlnlcy and Ur
Rlxcy lilto tbo darkened home. Only the
bitching post at tho curb In front ot the
residence ,hnd been swntched in' black by
the cltlr.qna In order Umt jt might conform
to the" RtncrnlKe'm?onflijrhinK decora
tions thai' hud fooen adopted.
Bad ns. 'was the procession which bore
tho body to tho court house where 11 lay In
utatn this nftorncon, It could not compare1
with thn Infinite sadness of that endless
double line of brnken-benrted pcoplo who
streamed stcndlly through tho dimly lighted
corridors from tho time tho coflln was
opened until It wns tnkon homo to the
Borrowing widow at nightfall. They stcpepd
softly lest their footfalls woke tholr friend
from his last long sleep. Tears came
Unbidden to wet tbo bier.

two ot tho lights of tho chandollor abovo
