Ohio, Sept. 14.Toledo Is en fete to-day over the unveiling of the Mc Klnley staute, the first memorial to the late president erected in.. Ohio. The -weather is clear and warm, with a nice breeze. In the forenoon there was a naval parade on the river, including the United States gunboat Michigan and the train ing ships Yairtic and Hawk. Promptly at 2 o'clock the procession moved thru the principal streets, led by a battalion of United States infantry from Fort Wayne and Detroit. The pa rade was made up of the local regiment of the national guard, the Q. A. R. and Spanish war veterans, and a general turnout of all the benevolent and fraternal organizations of the city. Arriving at the monument which stands fronting the courthouse the statue was unveiled by Miss Dorothy Bonner. After the call to order by Colonel J. C. Bonner, president of the Memorial association and the invocation by the Rev. Father O'Brien, Colonel Bonner presented the monument to the county in a feeling address and Henry Conrad, president of the board of county commissioners, ac cented the trust on the part' of the county. Senator M. A. Hanna was then introduced as honarary president of the day and made a brief extemporaneous address. A dedicatory tpoem by Theodore Mc Mamis was- read by the author and the j orator of the day", Senator Charles W. Fairbanks, of Indiana, was introduced. The senator said: Senator Fairbanks' Address. " "The place of William McKinley in his tory is secure. We are not too near the events of which he was a part, correctly to measure his proportions, nor do we look with too partial eyes upon what he did. We know the great share he bore !ln the significant events thru which he passed, and we have faith to believe that the Judgment of his contemporaries will be confirmed by history, when, with im partial hand, she shall record the deeds of men. "You honor yourselves in honoring him. ,You make the future your debtor by ereot ing this statue in commemoration of his life and services, for, like his immortal .prototype, Abraham Lincoln, he 'belongs to the ages.' Hither the lovers of Amer ican Institutions will come in the unnum bered years before us and derive new hope and new inspiration. Similar monu ments will rise in other lands, to which peoples not of our race will pay their homage. "The people of Cuba, whose liberty was secured thru his genius and statesman ship, will erect monuments in his honor. So also the people of Porto Rico and the far off Philippines will raise enduring memorials to perpetuate tb the furthest ages the memory of the president who carried to them the blessings of repub lican government. .' "It seems but yesterday that William McKinley stood among us at the very zenith of his power. He possessed in full degree the affections and confidence of his countrymen, and his name was a beneficent influence. Without warning tfie cruel bolt fell. We stood speechless in the midst of uncommon sorrow. Our great and beloved leader, by some mys terious providence, fell in the plenitude o his strength. Upon the day of his sepulture rulers and peoples in many for eign lands united in impressibe memorial services, and the flags of all nations were ih mourning. Thruout the great repub lic busy trade stood still, the telegraph was silent, and as, by some common im pulse, steamships and railroad trains ^topped, and the people uncovered in the Streets, or knelt in the sanctuary. Who knows but the divine master, thru this Unspeakable tragedy, sought to imprint forever upon the human heart how splen didly the just and brave can live, and howJieautifully they can die. Against the bacRgrouhd of two years stand in sharper outline than were otherwise possible the high and noble achievements and the ma jestic personality of one of the greatest of Americans." After the singing of. "America" by the by the audience, Rev. A, M. Hyde pro flounced the benediction which closed the services. The monument consists of a square dolumn of gray granite bearing the in scription: "William McKinley" cut on Its face. On the four sides his life his tory is briefly recited. This shaft is sur mounted by a heroic statue of the late president In bronze, weighing 1,800 pounds. The statue itself is eight*feet high. . The monument was erected by the contributions of 26,000 residents of Toledo and the surrounding country. The at tendance was very large. $K FLOWERS FOR HIS GRAVE Admirers of the Dead President Send Floral Tributes to Canton. Jfow York Bun Spoi*l 8rvic.

Kealy Has circumvented a plan of the government authorities to secure peace able possession of the house she occupies on the new grounds of the naval academy. Mrs. Kealy always left home at a certain hour for church, and plans were made to close the gates of the grounds so she would be unable to re-enter, but . she scented the danger and remained at home. The government does not desire to lay violent hands on the woman, yet stronger action against her will now .probably have to be taken. For five days her water supply has been cut off and it seems she is ready to die in her struggle to maintain her- rights as she conceives them to be. She means to remain in possession until the government pays her for her house. In 1892 her husband died without a will. The estate was divided, and a house on the lot where the present house stands was assigned to Mrs. Kealy as part of her dower. After the estate was divided it was found that there were so many debts that some of the property had to be sold to pay them. Mrs. Kealy's home was one of the houses that were sol.d John T. Mulhall bought it, but was never able to secure possession. When the property was condemned by the government for the use of the naval academy, Mulhall was paid the amount awarded by the appraisers, but Mrs. Kealy refuses to recognize the legality of the purchase. RUSSIA'S St. Petersburg, Sept. 14.An orthodox arch priest, Vassilov, was stabbed to death in the streets of Alexandropol, Trans-Caucasia, Aug. 26. The murderer escaped. The Novoe Vremya's correspondent at Erivan, Trans-Caucasia, says the mur der was one of a series of assassinations committed by the Armenian maffia, and adds that VasBilov had been blacklisted for converting the inhabitants of three Armenian villages to the orthodox faith. The correspondent further recounts an other recent brutal murder at the Alex andropol railroad station, in the presence of a erowd of people. In this case also the murderer easily made good his escape. Judicial investigations of the,- many mur ders committed, it is asserted, show that 80 per cent of the many recent Armenian murders were the work of Armenians who emigrated from Turkey, inspired by fanaticism, and that the others were sim ply the crimes of paid assassins.

Peking, Sept. 14.Russia has presented the Chinese government a new scheme for evacuating Manchuria, further pro longing the time for the evacuation, orig inally fixed for Oct. 8, and proposing cer tain new conditions in addition to most of the conditions included In the last scheme. Russia now proposes to evacuate Nin chuwang and Mukden province' Oct. 8 Kirin province four months later, and the third province a year later. Among the new conditions Russia stipu lates that she shall maintain military posts one the road from Tsltikar, capital of HellungKang, to Blagovestchensk, and on the Sungarl river. There is a vaguelyl worded clause prohibiting heavy duties on goods transported by the rail way, which diplomats- construe as ex empting Russian goods transported on the railway from the surtax.

Barrel of Alcohol Explodes on Board the Olympia'-iand Two . 4 ^ Are Bead. Cause of the Aooident Remains a JMtysterySmali Fire Dam- '"""- age to Ship. '-, Norfolk, ya., Sept. 14.Lieutenant Commander "Van Doser, executive officer of the cruiser Olympia, has made an of ficial statement as to the explosion of a barrel of alcohol on the cruiser's deck causing the death of Marine Corporal J. S. Yerkes of Philadelphia and Apprentice Selfert and the serious injury of Third Class Master-at-Arms Caster ahd Appren tice Shavey. ' - / The explosion resulted Indirectly from the smuggling of alcohol into the navy yard by members of the crew. The statement of Lieutenant Com mander Van Doser says: The entire crew of the Olympia were return ing aboard, after forty-eight hours' shore lib erty, when a five-gallon water breaker, full ot alcohol, was discovered In the forward tur ret. The executive officer at once ordered a thoro search to find any other spirits that might have beeu smuggled. As the cruiser is in dry dock, nil her small boats are lined in rows along the wharf. Be tween two ol these boats two men were dis covered. One escaped in the darkness. The other was placed under arrest. Where the mea were hiding was found a full barrel of alcohol, Which had been broached. It was, by order, carried forward by Cor poral Yerkes, Slefert, Shavey and Caster. In th ineuutlme the crew was called to quarters and every man accounted for. While the men were in line, answering the roll, the detachment with the barrel began pout ing it* contents Into a tank on the port side of the forward turret. They had scarcely begun when, in a manner yet to. be ascertained, the fumes of the spirits became ignited and ex ploded with terrific force. Both ends of the bar' rel were blown out, followed by a torrent of burning alcohol that spread in a flood of flame over the forward.main deck. Yerkes was struck iu the head by a stave and fell into the burning mass and was roasted to death. The other three men were also struck by flying fragments of the barrel, but were knocked awtty from the center of the fire, and thuH two of them escaped fatal injury, but Selfert was horribly burned and So injured that he died later.

The fund for the purpose of erecting a monument upon'the campus to the univer sity students who died in the Spanish war is still far from complete, altho it has been nearly three years since the fund Was started. Professor A. E. Haynes, who has had active charge, is about ready to give up, and he will ask to be relieved at the next regents' meeting. When the fund was commenced it was expected that it would be complete within a year, and arrangements were made to have the monument unveiled at the 1902 commencement. The alumni, however has failed to respond, and more than $1,000 is necessary. Of the $4,000 pledged. $1,000 was contributed by the late Gov ernor Pillsbury, and nearly a third of the remainder has been contributed by* uhl" versity students.

AFTER DR. COOKE Big, Insurance Company Anxious for ...! the Servioes of Well Known Athletic Instructor. . Offer Refused and He Will Continue at the "University and the Cooke Institute. It has just leaked out that considerable concern was created about the Univer sity of Minnesota, several days ago, by one of the largest life Insurance com- director of the gymnasium of that Insti tution. Dr. Cooke, when seen concern ing the matter, at first' refused to deny or affirm that such an offer had been made to him, but finally acknowledged that he was In receipt of a proposition to become chief medical examiner for one of the big life insurance companies of America, at a very handsome salary. It seems that the company was first attracted to Dr. Cooke's ability by the euccesses of the different gymnastic and athletic teams of the University of Min nesota. They arranged with him to per form some special service for them in the furnishing of data along physical and medical lines that would serve as a safe guard in the acceptance of risks. The service included the construction of a number'of additional questions and meas usements, to be taken at examinations of insurance applicants, which would enable them to moi-e thoroly. judge the risks of fered. When they were found to be un desirable they could reject same and thereby reduce their losses. This would naturally increase their earnings and per mit the payment of larger dividends to the first-class risks accepted. How well Dr. Cooke performed the task is reflected by the proposition just ten dered him. However, Dr. Cooke has de clined to entertain the offer and will re main with the university. The people of Minnesota are to be congratulated upon his final decision, - altho it does not seem to be the compensation as director of the gymnasium that influenced him to re main, so much as his private interests here. Dr. Cooke, with his brother, about two years ago, founded the Cooke Institute of Physical Culture In this city. The in stitute has been a success from the start and they have been obliged to enlarge their quarters from time to time. At this time it might be well to give a bit of history that led up to the start ing of this Institution in order tp more perfectly reflect the characteY and phil anthropic motives of its founder. When a youth, Dr. Cooke's physical condition was such that his parents had considerable anxiety for his health, and the family physician stated that he had strong consumptive tendencies in fact, it was predicted that he would never at tain his majority. This much alarmed his parents, and upon the advice of two lead ing specialists he was given a course in physical culture. The general improvement in his health was so marked that the ex ercises were continued while at college. It was deemed advisable for the benefit of his own personal welfare that he take up the study of medicine. Because of his physical condition he applied himself more closely to his studies, yet never neglecting his physical exercises, which were made more specific as applying to his condition, as he progressed with them. Both studies were made easy because he was Interested to a much greater extent, his own health being at stake. He com pleted his medical studies, but feeling that physical culture was the more responsi ble for his then almost perfect physical condition, he took more kindly to the teachings of athletics, body-building and health-maintaining exercises, using his medical education to an excellent advan tage. At the age of 23 he. had attracted the attention - of the entire sporting fra ternity of the east. He declined several offers from National league baseball teams. So thoroly was he absorbed with his work that It entirely overshadowed ahy greed for gold, and in accordance, in 1897, he became identified with the UAlyej^ity of Minnesota as director of the j^mnaaiUTn. The successes of the dif ferent gymnastic and athletic teams of that institution under his tutorship have become a matter of history with the athletic wbrldf. Feeling that a greater good could be accomplished thru an institute where bus iness and professional men could obtain every other physical culture institute in America. With our medical knowledge we are enabled to determine just what parts of the body should receive special attention and our long experience in the work has taught us to know just how to apply it to the individual to accomplish specific results. The closer we can stick to nature the better the results to be obtained. In the founding of this insti tute we were actuated by the manners and customs of the American Indian as found in his primitive state. But where they had an advantage in outddor exer cises we have a decided advantage in our knowledge of the advanced science of medicine. "It is a sin to grow up and continue thru life in a weak physical condition. A physical wreck can bring naught in this world but offspring that will reflect his own weaknesses. The brain cannot con tinue strong and active if it lacks the support of a vigorous body. Those old iron fisted Spartans knew a thing or two. They ordained that no Spartan mai den should wed until she first demon strated her proficiency in the gymnasium. History tells us that they killed their weaklings. . "We are just entering upon a new era of medical science. I will predict that the time is not far distant when a physi cian will be compelled to have as thoro knowledge of the physiology of bodily ex ercise as he has of tho physiological ac tion of drugs. Even more can be accom plished to-day by properly prescribed ex ercise than by the administration of drugs. For instance, no drug known to medical science can so condition a man that he may obtain life insurance where he has been rejected be'eause of some de rangement of his system. Yet We have frequently accomplished that very thing. Our staunchest friends are the most prominent members of the medical pro fession.

VIEW OF SECTION OF THE MAIN EXERCISE ROOM OF THE COOKE INSTITUTE OF PHYSICAL CULTURE. the necessary amount of physical culture each day, In order, to Improve and main tain their health and yet give the same amount of attention to their business, he tried to Induce some one to start an insti tute of that character. He even proffered his knowledge and such service as he could devote outssae of his services at the "U" gratuitously. Failing to interest any one, he and his brother, Dr. E. R. Cooke, who was also an athlete of some repute besides being an M. D., founded the Cooke Institute of Physical Culture In 1901. Dr. Cooke's wide reputation soon brought letters from people all over the country who were physical wrecks. The membership of the institute has grown until it now numbers between three and four hundred and includes people from t)Oth COLStlS With the growth of this institute, Min neapolis bids fair' to become even a greater health resorting point than West Baden, where it is said "that you leave your ailments in the mud," or even Bat tle Creek, with her variety of health foods and sanatoriums. The Cooke Institute of Physical Culture is the only institution of its kind in the United States. While there are a num ber of physical culture institutes that claim to restore health by a system yet their success is mediocre. Not because they do not follow a system but because of that very reason. They apply the same system to everybody regardless of what might be the result of their shattered condition. Wherein the Cooke Institute differs from all others is that each case becomes specific and such exercise is pre scribed as will serve to strengthen and develop the weak points. These weak points are discovered not only by a thoro medical examination but by a complete system of measurements of the various parts of the body. This system of measurements is far more perfect than even the French Bertillon system, which is employed by all the metropolitan police departments and penal institutions of the United States and Europe, for the measurements of criminals for identifica tion purposes. These measurements of the member become a matter of record and he is examined and remeasured from time to time and comparisons made to determine his improvement. A glance at the record sheets shows a most remark able change for even the first month. "It is erroneous to think that exercise is all that is necessary to build up the human system," said Dr. Cooke. "Too much exercise is equally' injurious and nerve racking as too little exercise. That to find Dr. Cooke's equal and his superior is where we claim an advantage over | is yet to make his debut." Don't Be Deceived r - * includes'the names of quite a number of physicians. l "It is not absolutely necessary that ] every person should attend a gymnasiumf in order to maintain or improve their gen-v eral health. There are many conditions \ that may be improved by exercises at spare moments at home or abroad or even while engaged in business pursuits but it should not be done blindly. One should first ascertain the cause of the condition and then have exercises pre scribed after the same manner that a physician would prescribe certain drugs.'
