Charles Letbbrldge Klngsford of Oxford tollege ha written for the Pulnania "Henry V: tb Typical Medaeval Hero." which has Juat been published at a part of tbe Heroes of the Nation aeries. Few periods In his tory present mora Interesting features than tba time of Henry V, while fortunately there Is an abundance of material for the his torian. The author baa made good uae of . the material at band and has not only given an exhaustive review of the life of the king and bis times, but In doing so has written a moat entertaining story that will be en joyed by all readers fond of historical work. The book la plainly but very neatly bound and tbe print Is large and distinct, while tbe Interest In the text la belgbtened by the reproduction of a number of old prints. O. P. Putnam' Bone, New Tork. There la plenty of whimsical humor, de lightful satire and "blue-sky philosophy" In "Naked Truths and Veiled Allusions," by ' Minna Thomas Antrim. The author' elev erness and psychological Insight Into exist ing conditions; htr spirited femininity and quaint dissections-of social problems bave produced a volume that even the most jaded reader can enjoy. This book of many sur prises, witty and brilliant from dainty title pag to epilogue, la largely given over to blta of wisdom regarding tbe man-and-woman side of things. Tbe naked truths on these unconventional pagea are neither whitened or rouged, yet the manner of their - telling touches sleeves with elegance. There may be something of whimsicality In the autbor'a analysis of the passions, taates and humors of both sexes as when vT8 are ad monished "If you cannot be clever, be care ful," and the epigrams may range from grave to gay. at once wlae, eaay, playful or worldly, yet they charm by their naivete, their extent' and variety.

The door swung open and on the .threshold, and with every eye upon him. stood Prlnoe Henry between Senator Poraker and General Orosvenor, chairman respectively ot tbe senate and house com mittee. "HI royal hlghnets, Prlnc Henry ot Prussia," announced the doorkeeper. The prince wae dressed In the simple dark bine uniform of an admiral of tbe German navy, without a single star or evidence of the Imperial house to which he belonged upon bis breast. Ho carried whit glove and bii fiat naval cap In hta left band. At bl aids bung a short gold scabbard. Slender, but tall and commanding looking, he towered abov those at his side. He came forward wltb eaay, graceful bearing, escorted by Senator Foraker and General Orosvenor and took the place assigned for him next to the president. At tbe same time the members of his suite In their showy uniforms, who bad followed him Into tbe ball, were ush ered Into the aeata directly In tbe rear of those reserved for members ot tbe senate. The prince wore a band of mourning upon bl left arm. . Thla waa not, however. In honor of tbe occasion, but was the badge of mourning atill worn by the members of tbe German Imperial family for their dead mother, tbe dowager empress of Ger many. Diplomat le Corpa Enters. At 11:40, a tbe strains of the Intermexio from "Cavalerla Rustlcena". floated through tbe hall, there waa a stir throughout tbs chamber. Tbe doors to the1 right of the peakera' roetrum were flung wide and the membera of 'the diplomatic corps marched in preceded, by the aergeant-at-arma of the house. The foreign ambassador and minister did not appear In their court eoetumes, but In sombre frock coats befit ting the occasion, with the exception ot the Chinese minister, who was attired In bis rich costume of silk. Lord Pauncefote. the British ambassador, who la tbe dean of the corps, headed the procession. With blm were the ambassador of the other powers, M. Cambon ot France and Count Casslnt of Russia, Signer Mayor dea Plancbea of Italy and Senor Aaplrox of Mexico. Then for a time no special Inci dent occurred and those In the regular gal leries were afforded an opportunity to ex amine the occupants of tbe specially re served g Her lea. Just beyoad the bronxe rail that sepa rated tbe dlplomatlo from the executive gallery were the families of the member of the aupreme court and of the cabinet and the Invited guests of ' the president. There also were a number ot the personal friend of Secretary Hay, tbe orator'tf the day. - ' In the surrounding galleries were many of the personal friends of tbe late presi dent. Among them Colonel Myron T. Her rlck of Cleveland, W. A. Lyncb of Canton, ex-Secretary of State William R. Day and Colonel Webb-Hlcka of Cleveland. Theee are only a few of those from all quarters of tbe anion wbo came to attend tbe memo rial exercises, but no member of the Imme diate family of tbe late president, so tar aa known, was In attendance. On tbe floor were many former member of the house. enat and tbe governors of the several state. Henderaoa Calls Assrnabiaa. to Order. As the handa of tbe gold clock opposite tbs speaker'a rostrum pointed to noon Speaker Henderson called the assemblage to order. He was dressed In a black frock coat, the aomberne ot which was relieved by a flower in the lapel.' The vast audience Instantly responded to his elgnal and aroae to listen to the brief prayer of the chap lain. Then followed the usual routine of tbe opening of a session of the house. The journal of Wednesday's proceeding was read by tbe clerk la the customary droning fashion. By th speaker' direction the clerk read tbe joint resolution providing for the memorial service and the order of the proceedings. Hardly had the reading been concluded and the journal approved before the doorkeeper announced the ar rival ot th aenate. Tbe speaker tapped three time with bl gavel. Aria, to Receive Gaests. As soon a all bad again been seated the speaker' gavel once more brought the as semblage to Its feet and the membera of the aenate appeared, beaded by Senator Frye, president pro tempore. Tbe senator took tbelr aeata Immediately In the rear of the membera of th dlplomatlo corps. Next tbe doorkeeper announced tbe chief justice and associate justices of tbe su preme court and the atately and dignified Judge swathed In their black robe and, preceded by tbe marshal of the court, came solemnly down the aisle. Justice Gray, who recently baa been atrlcken with par alysis, was tbe only missing member of he court. At this point ths spesker yielded the gsvel to Senator Frye, who presided. Then rame th president and membera of hla cabinet, wbe were announced, and tbe Marine band struck up "Hall to the Chief. President Roosevelt was accompanied by Secretary Hay and followed by bla aides, Colonel Blnghsm of the army and Major Gllmore of th marine corpa, each in full nnlform. Presldrat Wears Nssralsg Badge. The other members ot the cabinet came In the wake of these uniformed officer. Th president was attired In black frock coat, with gray trouaer, and wore mourning badge of crepe upon bl left arm. He took hi place la the arena facing the rpeaker'a desk, wltb Prtnce Henry on his right. With the latter he exchanged word of greeting. The members of ths cabinet, excepting Secretary Hay, who was escorted to the clerk's desk. Immediately below tbe ros trum ot the presiding officer, took their places to the right ot tbe prince. Seer tary Shaw and Secretary Wilson were ab aettt. Senator Frye aew called the assemblage to order and after a fervent prayer by Rev. Dr. Couden, tbe blind chaplalu of tbe bouse, he Introduced the orator of tbe day Secretary Hay. As tbe secretary begaa to read, with a slow, clear enunciation, be seemed aware of the inlenae Intereat, not alone of bia aubject. but of bla owa per sonallty, as he resd bis tribute of love aad loyalty to bla departed chief. Hay Beglaa Hla Uratloa. Secretary Hay Is not a finished orator In the strict acceptance of tbe term, but today bla voice had unusual carrying power and he was able to make himself heard to the farthest recesses of the hall. The purity ot style and depth of thought of hi com position fully compensated for whatever orce was larked in hla delivery. At 11 o'clock tbe Msrlne band began the rendition ef the musical program, when waa as follows: Overture Stabat Mater Rossini. Paraphrase Nearer, My Ood to Thee . lneger.

Secretary Hay spoke In part as follows: For the third time the congress Of the United fits tee Is assembled to commemo rate the life and the death of a president slain by the hand of an assassin. The at tention of the future historian will be at tracted to the features which reappear with startling sameness In all three of these awful crimen the uselessness, the utter lack of consequence of the act. the obscurity, the Insignificance of the crim inal; the blamelessness so far as In our sphere' of existence the best of men may be held blameless of the victim. Not one of our murdered presidents had an enemy In the world; they were all of such pre eminent purity of life that no pretext could be given for the attack of passional crime; they were all men of democratic Instincts who could never have offended the most Iealoua advocates of equality; they were of ilndly and generous nature, to whom wrong or Injustice was Impossible; of mod erate fortune, whose slender means nobody could envy. They were men of austere virtue, of tender heart, of eminent abilities, which they had devoted with single minds to the good of the republic. If ever men walked before Ood and man without blame It wae these three ruler of our people. The only temptation to attack their llvee ot tered was their gentle radiance to eyes hating the light thst was offense enough. The stupid uselessness of such an Infamy affronts ths common sense of the world. Typical American front Birth. The life of W.iii.Mi. McKlnley wtrs, from hie birth to his death, typically American. There Is no environment, 1 should say, anywhere else In the. world which could produce just such a character. He was born Into that way of life which elsewhere Is called the middle Mass, but -which In this country la so nearly universal as to make of other classes an almost negligible quantity. He was neither rich nor poor, neither proud nor humble; he knew no hunger he was not sure of satisfying, no luxury which could enervate mind or body. His parents were sober, Ood-fearing people; Intelligent and upright; without pretension and without humility. He grew up In the company of boyg like himself: wholesome. honest, self-respecting. They looked down on nobody; they never felt It possible they could be looked down upon. Their house's were the homes of probity, piety, patriot ism. Thev learned In the admirable school readers of fifty years ago the lessons of heroic ana splendid lire which have come down from the nast. Thev read In their weKiy newspapers tne story ot tne world s progress, in wnicn tney were eager to take part, and ot the sins and wrongs ot civili sation with which they burned to do battle. it waa a senoua ana tnougntrul time. Early Military Honors. The men who are living today and who Were young in 1860 will never forget the glory and glamour that filled the earth and the skv when the long twilight of doubt and uncertainty waa ending and the time of action had come. A speech by Abraham Lincoln waa an event not oniy or nign moral significance, but of far-reaching im portance; the drilling of a militia company by Kilsworth attracted national attention; the fluttering ot the flag in the clear-sky drew tear from the eyes of young men. Patriotism, which had been a rhetorical in wnicn instinct, logic ana reeling were fused. The country was worth saving; It could be saved only by fire; no sacrifice waa too great; the young men of the coun try were ready ror tne sacrifice; come weal, come woe. thev were ready. At 17 years ot age William McKlnley heard this aummona of his country. He enlisted as a private; he learned to obey. His serious, sensible ways, his promnt. alert efficiency soon attracted the attention or his superiors, lie leit tne army witn field rank when the war ended, brevetted by President Lincoln for gallmitry in battle. It Is to the everlasting honor of both sides that each knew when the war waa over, and the hour of a lasting peace had truck.

Begins rolltlcal Career. Tt rnme naturally about that In 18" the beginning of the second century of the re publiche began, by an election to con gress, his political career. Thereafter for fourteen veara this chamber was his home. When he came to the presidency there was io a dav wnen nis congressional service not nt use to him. Probably no other president has been in such fun and cordial communion with congress. If we may ex nt Uncnln alone. Following the natural bent of hla mind he devoted himself to questions of finance and revenue, to me eesemiais ui wie na tional housekeeping. He took high rank In the house from the beginning. A year alter MClviniey ieii congress ne was made governor of Ohio, and two years later he was re-elected, each time by ma jorities unhoped-for and overwhelming. He came to fill a space in the public eye which obscured a great portion of the field of vision. In two national conventions the presidency seemed within his reach. But he had gone there In the interest of others and his honor forbade any dalliance with temptation. 8o hie nay waa nay delivered with a tone and geattire there was no deny ing. His hour was not yet come. Only Candidal, for President. There waa. however, no long delay. He became, from year to year, the most prom inent politician ana orator in ine country. For several months before the republican national convention mat in latfti it waa evi dent to all who had eyea to see that Mr. McKlnley waa tne oniy proDaoie canuioate of his party. Other names were men tioned, of the higheat rank In ability, character and popularity; they were aup ported by powerful combinations; but the nomination of McKlnley as against the field waa Inevitable. The campaign he made will be always memorable In our political annala. He and hla frlenda haa tnuugnt mat tne issue tor the year was the distinctive and historic difference between the two parties on the subject of the tariff. 'To thla wager of battle the diacuaslona ot the previous four years distinctly pointed. But no sooner nad l lie iwu ymt .......... a . . than it became evident that the opposing candidate declined to accent the Held of dlacuaaion chosen by the republicans, and proposed to put forward as tne nmln Issue the free coinage of silver. McKlnley at once accepted this challenge, and. taking the battle for protection aa already won, went with energy Into the discussion of the theorlea presented Dy nis opponents. Urate I'roblesua losfrssl Hla.. When he came to the presidency he con fronted a aituation of the utmost difficulty. which might well have appalled a' man of less serene ana tranquil seir-conndenre There had been a state of profound com' menial and Induatriul depression, from which hla frlenda had Bald hla election would relieve the country. Our relations with the outside world left much to be de aired. The feeling between the northern and southern sections ot tne union was lucking In the cordiality which was neces sary to the welfare of both Hawaii hud asked for annexation and had been rejected by tbe preceding administration. There was a state of things in the Carlbuean which could not permanently endure. Our neighbor's house was on Are and there were grave doubta aa to our Hunts and dutlea In the premises. A man either weak or rash, either. Irresolute or headstrong, might have brought ruin on himself and Incalculable harm to the country. The leist desirable form of glory to a man of his habitual mood ana temper that ot successful war waa nevertheless conferred upon him by nncontrollable events. He felt it must come; he deplored its necessity; he strained slmost to break ing his relations with his friends. In order, first, to prevent and then to postpone It to the latest possible moment, but when the die waa cast he labored with the utmost energy and ardor, and with an intelligence In military matters which showed how much of the soldier still survived In tbe mature statesman to push forward the war to a decisive close. War was au angiilah to him; he wanted It abort and conclusive. Hla merciful seal communicated Itself to his subordinates, and tne war, ao long dreaded, whose consequences were so mo mentous, ended In luu osys. Mr. Btedman. the dean of our noela. has tailed him ' Aagiueulec of ths State.' It is a proud title: If Justly conferred. It ranks him among the few whose names may be placed definitely and forever In chft of the historic muse. Under his rufe Hawaii has come to us. and Tutulla; Porto RI-o and the vast archlpelseo of the east. Cuba Is free. Our nosltlon In ;'ic Caribbean Is assured beyond the possi bility of future question. The dm trine called by the name of Monroe, so long de rided and denied by alien publicists, evokes now no challenge or contradiction when ut tered to the world. It hss become an In ternational truism. Our slater republic to the south of us are convinced thnt we de sire only their peace and prosperity. Kurope knows that we cherish no aream but those of world-wide commerce, the benefit ot which shall be to all nation. The state Is augmented, but It threatens no nation under heaven. Aa to those re gions which have Come under the shadow of our flag, the possibility of their being damaged by such a change of circum stances waa In the view of McKlnley a thing untninKaoie. id peneve tnst we could not administer them to their advan tage was to turn Infidel to our American faith of more than 100 years. In dealing wlfh foreign cowers he will tike rajik with the greatest or our diplo matists. When a sudden emergency de clared Itself, as In China. In a state of things of which our history furnished no precedent and International law no safe and certain precept, he hesitated not a moment to take the course marked out for him by considerations of humanity and the national interests. Vast Ktoaosilrsl D. el.paaea ta. But the achievement of the nation In war and diplomacy are thrown in the shade by the vast economical developments which took piace auring Mr. Airmniey s adminis tration. I wilt not weary you with sta tistics, but one or two word seem neces sary to show how the sets of McKlnley ss president kept pace with his professions as candidate. His four years ot adminis tration were costly; we carried on a war which, though brief, was expensive. Al though we borrowed t2uO.fl0U.Mn and paid our own expenses, without asking for In demnity, the effective reduatton of the debt now exceeds the total of the war bonds. We nay I6.onn.ouD leas In Interest than we did before the war and no bond of the cnlted States yields the holder I per cent oq lta market value, tto much for the government credit, and we have S564,0Q0,)O0 of gross geld In the treasury. But, coming to the development or our trade In the tour McKlnley years, we seem to be entering the realm of fable. In the last fiscal year our excess of exports over Imports was. H.S.n:6. In the last four years It was (2,364,442,213. , These figures are so stupendous that they mean little to a careless reader but consider! The excess of exports over Import lor the whole pre ceding period from 1"!K) to 1S97 from Wash ington to McKlnley was only 366,808,R22. The most extravagant promises made bv the sanguine McKlnley advocates five years J HU ire leu uui vi infant lliesv sutler facts. The "debtor nation" has become the chief creditor nation. The financial renter of the world, which required thousands of years to Journey from the Euphrstes to the Thames and the Heine, seems passing to the Hudson between daybreak and dark. We should be ungrateful. If In this hour of prodigious prosperity we should fail to remember that William McKlnley with sub lime faith foresaw It, with Indomitable courage labored for It, put his whole heart and mind into the work of bringing It about; that It was his voice which, In dark hours, rang out, heralding the coming light, as over the twilight waters of the Nile the mystic cry of Memnon announced the dawn to Egypt, waking from eleep. Mr. McKlnley was re-elected by an over whelming majority. He hoped In hla second term to accomplish substantial results in the development and affirmation of his policies. 1 spent a day with him shortly before he started on hla fateful Journev to Buffalo. Never had 1 seen him higher in hope and patriotic confidence. He waa aa sure of the future of his country ss the Psalmist who cried. "Glorious things are spoken of thee, thou city of God. He was gratified to the heart that we had arranged a treaty which gave us a free hand In the Isthmus. In fancy he saw the canal already built and the argosies of the world passing through it in peace and amity. He saw in the Immense evolution of American trade the fulfillment of all nis dreams, tne rewara ot an his labors On Threshold or Eteralty. In that mood of high hope, of generous expectation, ne went to nuiraio. and there, on the threshold of eternity, he delivered that memorable speech, worthy for Its loftiness of tone, its blameless morality. Its breadth of view, to be regarded as hla testament to the nation. He stood that dav nast master of the art or statesman ship. He had nothing more to ask of the people. He owed them nothing but truth and faithful service. His mind and heart were purged of the temptations which beset all men engaged In the struggle to survive. In view of the revelation of his nature vouchsafed to us that day, and the fate which Impended over him, we can only say In deep affection and solemn awe,' "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see Ood." Even for that vision he was not unworthv. He had not long to wait. The next day aped the bolt of doom, and for a week after In an agony of dread broken by Il lusive glimpses of hope, that our prayers might be answered the nation waited for the end. Nothing In the glorious life that we saw gradually waning vras more ad mlrable and exemplary than Its close. The gentle humanity of his words, when he saw his assailant in danger of summary vengeance, "Don't let them hurt him, hi chivalrour care that the news should be broken gently to his wife; the fine courtesy with which he apologized for the damage which his death would bring to the great exnioition, ana tne heroic resig nation of his final worda. "It le Ood's wav. His will, not ours, be done," were all the instinctive expreanions or a nature so lofty and so pure that pride In Its nobility at once softened and enhanced the nation's sense of loss. The moral value to a nation of a renown such as Washington's and Lincoln's and MclClnley's Is beyond all computation. No loftier Ideal can be held up to the emula tion ot Ingenuous youth. With such ex amples we can I'.ot be wholly Ignoble. Grateful aa we may be for what they did, let ua be still more grateful for what they were. While our dally being, our public policies, still feel the Influence ot their work, let us pray mat in our spirits tneir lives may be voluble, calling us upward nd onwatu. There Is not one of us but feels prouder of his native land beca'use the august figure i of Washington presided over Its beginnings; no one but vows It a tenderer love because Lincoln poured out his blood tor It; no one but must feel hi devotion for his country renewed and kindled when he remembers how McKlnley loved, re vered and served It, showed In hla life how a cltlxen should live, and In his laat hour taught us how a gentleman could die.
