IMMENSE CROWD PRESENT
Estimated That Fully Sixty Thousand
People From Outside Points Were
In the Little Ohio City to Attend the
FuneraJ—ServiGea at the Church
Brief and Simple and the Body Is
Then Taken to Westlawn Cemetery
O&nton, O., Sept. 20.—The remains
if the late President McKlnlejr hare
been laid at rest in Westlawn ceme
tery, thousands of people from all
parts of the country participating: in
the final exercises. The corpse was
taken from the McKinley home at
ehurch at 1:45, where brief and simple
services were held. After the close
if the exercises at the cshureh the
body was taken to the cemetery, es
corted by a military and eivlc parade
hi which thousands of men took part,
and followed by President Roosevelt,
many senators and representatives
and prominent officials from all parts
ff the country.
Mrs. McKinley was 00 the verge of
tollapse at the time the funeral pro
cession left the house and her physi
cian decided it was best for her to
remain at home.
The streets in front of the McKinley
cottage before the funeral wel% one
solid mass of citizens and soldiers
Thirty special trains arrived during^
the day and it is estimated that fully
10,900 strangers were in the city.
BEFORE THE FUNERAL.
6treets of Canton Densely Packed
With People.
Canton, O., Sept. 20.—The streets
Of the little city of Canton were filled
during the morning with waving
plumes, prancing horses and densely
packed bodies .of moving men, assem
bled here for the procession which is
to escort the remains of the late presi
dent from the church to Westlawa
cemetery.
All night long civic, military, fra
ternal, social and commercial organi
sations from the four quarters of the
compass had been pouring in, and into
the seething mass of humanity al
ready here the early morning trains
deposited otner thousands. So fast
did the trains arrive, following on
eaeh other's heels, that there appear
ed to be one continuous string of cars
unloading their human freight through
the station into the congested streets
beyond.
Thirty special trains, in addition to
the regular trains, had arrived before
noon. The biggest crowd in the his
tory of Canton, which was here dur
ing the campaign of 1896, estimated
at over 60,000, was exceeded. The
people overflowed the sidewalks and
literally packed the streets from side
fo side:
The awe-stricken crowds upon their
arrival all moved as if by common
impulse toward the old familiar Mc
Kinley cottage, where the remains
were lying. Military guards stationed
at the four corners of the lawn paced
their beats, but there was no other
sign of life about the house of death.
Sorrowfully the throngs turned
away, the people to take up their po
sitions at the church, the representa
tives to take their places in the im
posing procession which was to fol
low the remains to the cemetery.
The two sections of the train bear
ing the senate and house oi represen
tatives and other government officials
from Washington, arrived 'during the
morning. .•'T
Casket Not Reopened.' ..,:,•
The face of the dead presldettt was
seen for the last time when it lay in
state in the courthouse. The casket
wa* not rnenerl after it was removed
to the McKinley residence and the
members of the family had no oppor
tunity to look again upon the silent
features. The casket was sealed be
fore it was borne away from the court
house. It had been the hope of many
of the old friends of the family here
that the face would be exposed while
the services in the church were being
held, but this suggestion could not
be agreed to. When Mrs. McKinley
eame into the death chamber for her
last moments beside her dead hus
band, she wished to have a final look
at the upturned face. But this was
impossible ind the sealed casket,
with its flowers and flags, were all
that she

TZL« collection ot Sowers probably
was the most beautiful seen in the
United States. The conservatories of
the country had been denuded to sup
ply them. There were tons and tons
of them, a list of those who sent
them would be almost a complete
roster of those prominent In the of
ficial, commercial and social life of the
JJuited States.
Toward noon the crowds in the
•icinity of the McKinley cottage had
increased to tens of thousands. North
Market street was a living, seething
mass of humanity for five squares be
low the house and for three squares
beyond. Several regiments of soldiers
were required to preserve the sem
blance of order. With guns advance
the men were posted along the curbs
and within the walks for half a mile
in either direction. A platoon of sol
diers'was tfTrown across the gate lead
ing up to the door of the McKinley
home and only those with a written
permit from Secretary Cortelyou were
permitted to enter the grounds. The
vast throng was contested, however
to gaze at the curtained windows and
at rare intervals to see some member
of the family or an attendant come to
the porch outside. Thus throughout
fiie morning the vast multitude surged
without, while the silence within was
broken only by the weeping of the
eiricken widow.
SIMPLE
Church
IN THE EXTREME.
Services of the Remains of
President McKinley.
The services in the church were
simple. They began with the rendi
tion of an organ prelude, Beethoven'
funeral march, played by Miss Flor
ence Douds. As the last notes of the
prelude were stilled a ladies' quartette
sang "The Beautiful Isle of Some
where." Rev. 10. Ri Milligan, pastor
of the First Presbyterian church of
Canton, delivered the invocation.
The Nineteenth Psalm was read by
Dr. John A. Hall of the Trinity La
theran church of Canton, and that por
tion of the Fifteenth chapter of First
Corinthians included between the 4th
verse and 5&th verse was read by Rev
E. P. Herbrouck of the Trinity Re
form church of Canton. The favorite
hymn of President McKinley, "Lead
Kindly Light," was theH rendered by
a mixed quartette. When this hymn
had been finished, Dr. H. Man
Chester, pastor of the First Methodist
church, delivered the address.
At the conclusion of Dr. Manches
ter's discourse Bishop I. W. Joyce of
Minneapolis delivered a short prayer
The hymn, "Nearer, My God, to
Thee," was sung by the" entire con
gregation. The people remained
standing after the close of the hymn
while the benediction was pronounced
by Mgr. T. P. Thorpe of Cleveland
The casket was then borne from the
church to the funeral car and the
march to the cemetery bega^
TRADE REVIEW COMMENT.
Marvelous Growth in Business During
McKinley's Administration.
New York, Sept. 20.—Dun's Review
says:
When a great leader falls in. battle
his army grieves, but does not aban
don the attack. Rather, it is urged
onward by a desire to accomplish the
task to which his life wAs devoted.
Victories of peace are greater than
those of war, and no man has been so
conspicuously associated with the in
dustrial development of the United
States as William McKinley. Face
tious comments on the "advance agent
of prosperity," were turned to wonder
and admiration by the steady gains
in business conditions. Instead of buy
ing more than we sold, foreign mar
kets were secured to such an exteAt
that a favorable trade balance of
$650,000,00 Owas secured for the last
fiscal year. Instead of London and
Paris taking all the large bond issues
offered, loans were placed in New
York because of the. abundance of
funds available even British consols
coming here recently.
While achievements little short of
marvelous already have been accom
plished, the natural resources of the
country are by no means exhausted.
It seems moot fitting at this time to
look hopefuly into the. future, and
earnestly continue the march onward
and upward under a new leader, that
was planned and desired by the one
who was taken away ere the position
was fully attained with which his'
name will be always associated in the
mindB of a grateful and patriotic peo-

EXCITING APPREHENSION.
beared Mrs. McKinley May Collapse
at Any Moment.
Canton, O., Sept. 20.—Mrs. McKIn
'ey's condition is exciting grave ap
prehension among those caring for
her, and it is feared that the dreaded
collapse may come at any moment,
Since she has returned to the old
home the full realization of the awful
calamity has come upon her. After
the body had been brought from the
courthouse and deposited in the little
front room formerly used as the presi
dent's library she pleaded to be al
lowed to enter the room and sit be
side the casket. Consent was reluct
antly granted and for half an hour the
stridden widow sat in the dim light
beside the flower-draped bier. Then
she was led away to her room and has
not left it since. Through the morn
ing she wept piteously, hour by hour.
Owing to her condition she was able
to take no part in any of the ceremo
nies, either at the church or coming
into the chamber of death when the
body was borne away for the last time.
From this time on she will be guarded
with the most solicitous care and
quiet, for it is only in this way that a
collapse can be averted.

New Lodge Organized.
Mr. Hiram Landnus, special deputy
from the grand lodge of the Knights
and Ladies of Security, of Topeka
Kas., has been in the city this week
assisting District Deputy James
Wyvell, of.Glenwood.. in organizing
a council at this place. The organiz
ation was completed and the lodge
instituted on Thursday night of this
week, and its membership includes a
very good class of people as charter
members.
Officers were eleoted as follows:
President, Andrew Rowland.
1st V. P., Howard Clark.
2nd V. P., Mrs. Rowland.
Prelate, H. O. Eames.
Secretary, Mrs. Cummins.

vell and Mrs. N. A. Nilson.
Mr. Landnus and Mr. Wyvell went
to Glenwood this morning to insti
tute a council at that place.
The Knights and Ladies of Secufr
ity is one of the best fraternal insur*
ance orders in the United States,
having a reserve fund of more than
300,000, which fund increases in
proportion to the increase in member
ship and guarantees the prompt pay
ment of all claims and prevents an
increase of assessments. Its plan
combines business principles with
fraternalism, thus giving its members
the protection they desire with no
increase of cost in the future.

A Study of Political Hysterics.
A most lamentable comedy is the
title of a powerful novelette by Mr.
William Allen White which begins in
the September 21st issue of The
Saturday Evening Post, of Phila
delphia. This absorbing serial is a
study of political hysterics—the story
of a State gone mad. The scene of
the novelette is a Western State
laboring under the burdens of a
panic year. The central figure is a
grocery store demagogue whose hare
brained oratory captures the state
convention. The story rises to a
height of dramatic power and in
tensity rarely equalled in the fiction*
