Most Beloved and Noble Women
and his wife was a matron of *xtr«or- !
dinary culture and refinement. Ida j
IFaxton was reared in a home of com- |
fort and ease. •. After attending the '
Canton schools, Fhe was a" pupil at a j
private school at Delhi. X. Y. Later .
* he was a student at a Cleveland acad
«roy and finished her education at
Brook- -Hall seminary at Media. Pa.,
where she spent three years. Part of
her young womanhood was spent in the
Ftark County banU. which belonged to J
'her father. On several occasions she
' liii<s charge of the institution.
While she taught .Sunday school in
•Ose Presbyterian church, William Jlc
- Xinley; <hen a young lawyer, was su
perintendent of the First Methodist
Episcopal Sunday school. Among many
. edmirers and suitors the handsome

\u0084 • *.- THIBUTE TO DRIDBGROOM
"' by. James Saxton, her father, these
I. woriis were spoken to McKinley when
tMp-Jiand of the daughter was gained:
.-. "You are the. only man I have ever
." known to whom I could intrust my
.•da'ughtcr."
9 On January 25. IS7I. William McKln-
' .ley* and Jda Saxton were united in mar
riajge. The wedding was the first per
•.formed in the then New Presbyterian
'•''' After an eastern, trip, including
.Washington, and a short time of
."1 Girding, the McKinleys purchased
the liome in Nortlv Market street which
in 'later years became famous as the
SicKinley cottage. It was during their j
short sojourn in this home that Mrs.
McKihley's health broke down under
. <he burden of grief that was -theirs.
There were born to them two daugh
ters'. Katie, on Christmas day of IS7I,
.&.n<l Ida on April 1. IST3
.. ."Ida died in August. 1873, and Katie
the following year. l>uring this period
' Mrs. • MeKinley's mother also passed
away and under the combined burden
-of-. these losses Ilrs.. McKinley became
=• a'a invalid.
\u25a0 \VKDDED LIFK WAS HAPPT^
\u25a0 Her life as the wife of William Me
. iiiriey was a most happy and devote-1
\u25a0 one. Tliey never ""kept house" while
..he was in conßress. because of her in
valid state. Hhe. however, desired to
; be. with him as much as possible and
-\u25a0\u25a0spent much time in* Washington. On
'. Tins campaign tours while he was con
:v: v prfssman, governor and president, sh»
journeyed with him so far as practi
\u25a0 cable. .' \-.: .
After McKif.lcy's term of office us
' governor they came to Canton in Jan
: uar>-, 3 SD6. in time to celebrate their j
silver wedding anniversary in the first j
tome of their early married life.
This wedding anniversary was at
iLbe beginning of a year and two
months' residence in Canton, during
wKlch*.time McKinley was nominated
.Rnd' elected president of the United
Htates. At Washington, as the first
lady of the land, she was unable to act
as • hostess at many", brilliant social
functions."
After the crushing blow which came
to her when the assassin's bullet struck
' down her husband, friends despaired of
fh«r life for a -month or more. She
ralWed, however, -and excepting periods
of great, depression * enjoyed better
\u25a0health than usual. \u25a0 She would not con
sent to leave her. Canton home. \u0084
. lUUKXDS OF JKKKHjKSOX
Mrs. McKinley was fond of,.the drama.
She and her husband numbered as one
of. their most intimate friends the lafo
.Joseph Jefferson, who was frequently
a guest at their home. Among her di
versions were 'the crocheting of slip
pers which she bestowed as keepsakes
to friends, handed to the needy or gave
to. bazaars. More than 3.500 pairs uf
flippers were knitted by her and given
away.- Mrs. McKinley was fond of
flowers, the ros*- being her favorite for
many, years. In recent years the presi
dent's carnation shared a place in hor
admiration.
'. Bereft of childreniat an -early stage
of "married .life che showed lier intense
affection for "children until the end of
her' life. It- was 'a* common thing for
her to stop her: carriage when driving
along the street and call to her side
some prattling child and kiss it, or
ask to embrace an attractive baby.
The McKinley estate, which was left
hs. the presideut, was . appraised at
5215.000 when the inventory was made.
It has increased in value since that
time. By the terms of the will of Mo-
Klnley the estate at the death of Mrs.
McKinley was to be divided equally
among his brother, Abner McKinley,
"now deceased, and sisters, Mrs. Duncan
and Miss Helen McKinley of Cleveland.
.Mrs. Hermanus Baer (Mabel McKin
ley) Is the daughter and heir of Abner
McKinley.

MURDERER OF A GIRL
DESCRIBES HIS CRIME
Henry Becker Makes Full
Confession to Two New
York Detectives
NEW YORK, May -26.— Henry Becker,
under arrest in connection with the
slaying of Amelia . Sta'ffeldt in Elm
hurst last Wednesday, is alleged to
have • made a confession .to detectives
tonight describing with minuteness
how the crime was committed. His
first statement, in. which he said he
had seen a companion of the girj. at
tack her. was subsequently, retracted.
i Becker, .was taken to the scene of
the crime today and was identified by
Miss Emily Simonson as one of the
men who washed at the pump In her
yard on the day of the murder.
" Becker v.-as asked about the second
man talked about' in connection with
the rase and for the first time "ad
mitted that he had never seen this
man before he was about to go into
the Simonson yard, and that after the
tM r o had washed their hands together
at the pump the stranger disappeared.
Becker was then taken back to the
jail, and during the' ride from Elm
hurst to Long Island City he told
Detectives Galvin and Ticho: it is said,
the most important and shocking part
of- the story. He said that he would
feel better if lie told the whole truth.
He described how he had been sleep-
Ing in the fields and had seen' the girl
enter the lot. in search of dandelions.
'"I went up to her," it is asserted
he said, "and tried to get up a flirta
tion, but she told me to go away. 'If
you don't leave me,' she said, 'I will
call a policeman.' I can't remember
somehow just all that happened, but
I know I took hold of her her, then
I hit her on the back of the. head with
a stone. After that I struck her once
or twice with the knife." - >
"What did, you* do- that for?" asked
Galvin.
'How do I know?" muttered Becker,
who continued his narrative^
After -washing ' his hands at the
pOmp, he said, he 'went- toward Corona
as fast an 'possible, and. there, near a
railroad crossing, took on* 'his blood
stained shirt, tore it up and threw it
into the bushes. \u25a0' \u25a0*• , -: :

The fact that two of -his pupils
reached ; the -semifinal "round- is',- most
gratifying -to S. R. Marvin; manager, of
the Golden Gate junior club; ; ilt 'was
hardly expected , that Getz would:; t>e

evidently -having overlooked his' good
playing in the Alam^da- county cham

finals after -.winning; only one match;
In thishe lost a. set , to E. P. Finnegan."
Gardner will have to improve over his
form of yesterday, to defeat Getz.
Maurice McLoughlin again took
George Janes into camp... The former
champion had a good lead in the. first
set,' but the "youngster overcame it and
won handily. At 5-3 and '30-0 Janes
looked to have - the .- net about ; won,
but McLoughlin outplayed him from
this point.
State Champion Herbert Long played
good tennis when he met McLoughlin.
He 'had 'his drive working' to perfection
in the first set .and; the-. junior club
phenomenon .won only three; games."- It
was a different story, in. the next two
ects. McLoughlin. put up his best ef
fort, and, though Long kept up a; fast
pace, the younger player won by a
narrow margin.
Coast Champion Melville Long had
no hard men to -defeat, but .appeared
to be. in better form" than at any time
since he won the' highest honors" last
September. , . .
The remaining three matches should
prove well worth agoing to see. That
between Champion Long and McLough
lin:.should be, the best of the- tournar
ment. When they met several ."weeks
ago McLoughlin won atlireelset match.

since then and it would not be surpris
