Tbc isny nnd flanilui: ilecor.it ions of t lie rnii-Anicricuu exposition have piren '' to the bjiii b"l of sorrow. Black drnpery lines tlir city's streets. Hits of crupe appear on very sleeve. The sorrow is indescriba ble. Siimlny morniiiK n single service .took place ut the residence on Delaware avenue where the martyred president tlied. A hymn was sung and pruyer was offered over the dead body. That was all. Only the immediate family and the friends and political associate of the late president were present. The scene there was pathetic in the ex treme. Then the body was borne out to the waiting cortege on the bruwny shoul llers of eight sailors and soldiers of the republic. The cortege passed through tolid walls of living humanity, biuo aeaded and grief stricken, to the city hall, where the body lay in state In the afternoon. There a remarkable demonstration or rurrijd which proved how close the presi dent was to the hearts of the people. Arrangements had been made to allow the public to view the body from the time it arrived, at about 1:00 o'clock, until about 5 o'clock, but when the body irrived the people were wedged into the streets fur blocks far as the eye ffould reach. Two lines were forihcd. riiey extended literally. for miles. When 5 o'clock came, 40.000 people hfljl already passed, nnd the crowds waiting in the streets seemed undiminish ed. It was decided to extend the time until midnight. Then for hours longer the streets were dense with people, and 1 constant stream flowed up the steps of the broad entrance Into the hall nnd passed the bier. When the doors were closed at midnight, it was estimated that RO.OOO people had viewed the remains, hut thousands of disappointed ones were till in the streets. The body lay in the elty hall until morning, when it was token to the station by a military escort, nnd at fi-.'M the funeral train started for Washington over the Pennsylvania rail toad. The day was gray and cheerless. Heavy clouds hung over tho city, at times breaking to let through a rift of unshine and then threatening to let loose a downpour upon the gathering multitude. The nir was humid and Heavy, ami only a light wind from the south stirred the drooping flags and the puibleius of mourning. The very ele ments seemed to lend fitting accompani ment to the scene of sorrow nbout to be nacted. Long before the time set for She funerul services the vicinity of the Mlllinrn house was astir with prepara tions. Within the house of death was woe un peaknble. In the drawing room to tho right of the hall as President Uoosevclt filtered the dend chieftain was stretched upon his bier. His head was to the rising un. On the noble face upturned to the Creator was written the story of the Christian forbearance with which he had met his martyrdom. "Thy will, not ours, tie done," he had murmured when the Jread messenger of death touched nnd lummoned him. A calm and peaceful res ignation not of earth was on the marble features. Death had emphasized the no tileness of his countenance, Only the hinrmss of his face bore mute testimony to tho patient suffering he had endured. He was dressed as he always did in life. The black frock coat was buttoned across the breast, where the first bullet of tho uf anions assassin hud struck. The black string tie below the standing collar show ed the littlo triangle of white shirt front. The right hand lay at bis side. The left was across his body. The body lay in a black casket on a black bearskin ruir. Over the lower limbs wns Hung the starry banner he bad loved so well. The flowu-s were few, as befitted .o simple naturn of the man. Two sentries, one from the sen nnd one from the land, guarded the remains. Tlwey stood in the window embrasures behind llr head of the ensfcet. The family, had taken leave of their loved one before the others arrived. Mrs. McKinley, the poor grief crushed widow, had been led into the chamber by her physician, Dr. Itixey, and had sat awhile alone with him who had supported and oemforted her through all those sweet years of wedded life. Hut though her mpport wns gone sne mm mu. uroucn down. Dry eyed she had gazed upon him gud fondled his faee. She did not seem to realize thut he was dead. Then she hud I been led away by Dr. ltixey and had tak- ! tu up her position nt the head of the I stairs where bIiu could hear the service. About a hundred in till saw the re niuins. Home were so overcome with grief at the sight of the thin, placid counte nance that their frames shook in convul sive solis. Several clung to the side of the bier and with ditliculty could be persuad id to leave. Almost every face was tear ituined. The great love for this man choked nil the house. I!ev. Churles Edward Locke of the Delaware Avenue Methodist Kpiseopal church, conducted the service. The Dentil heal Kcciick. BUFFALO. Sent. 14 Prcnlil..lll Me.

The president In Ids Inst period of con sciousness, which roiled ubolit 7:40, chanted the words of the benntlful hymn, "Nearer, My (lod, to Time," and his last audible conscious words as taken down by Dr. Mann ut the bedside were: "Ooodby, nil; jrnodby. It is God' way. His will be done." BUFFALO TO WASHINGTON. Wcrplntt Thnnsnnil Hnlnte tlip Fu neral Trnln. WASIllXOTttX, Sept. 17. Through a living lnne of bareheaded people stretch ing from lluffalo up over the Allegheny, down Into the broad valley of the Sus quehanna nnd on to the marble city on the banks of the shining Potomac the nation's martyred president made his last journey to the seat of the government over which he presided for four and n half years. The whole country seemed to have drained Its population nt the sides of the track over which the funeral train passed. The thin lines through the moun tains and the sparsely settled districts thickened nt the little hamlets, covered acres in towns suddenly grown to the proportions of respectable cities nnd were congested into vast multitudes in the larger cities. Work was suspended in field and mine nnd city. The schools were dismissed. And everywhere nppenred tho trappings and tokens of woe. A million flags nt half mast dotted hillside and val ley and formed a thicket of color over the cities. And from almost every banner streamed a bit of crape. The stutions were heavy witll the black symbols of mourning. At nil the Inrger towns nnd cities ufter the train got into Pennsylva nia militiamen drawn up at "present nrms" kept back the enormous crowds. The silence with which the countless thousand viewed the remains of their hero and martyr wus oppressive and pro found. Only the rumbling of the train wheels, the sobs from men and women with tear stained faces and the doleful tolling of the church and other bells broke on the ear. At several places, Wil liamsport, Harrisburg and Baltimore, the chimes played Cardinal Newmnu's grand hymn. Taken altogether the journey home wus the most remarkable demon stration of universal personul sorrow since Lincoln was borne to his grave. Kv cry one of those who eume to pay their last tribute to the dead had an opportuni ty to catch a glimpse of the flag covered bier elevated to view in the observation car at the rear of the train. The narrow, overhanging vinducts un der which the train passed as it drew slowly out of Huffalo bent beneath the weight of crowded humanity, packed there by the pressure of the tide of peo ple who filled all the adjoining streets. The windows and roofs of the houses rnd the roufs of the cars in the yards were black with people, nil uncovered. When the train had cleared the city, the people were still there, standing nt the crossroads and in the fields. It ran liter ally between two lines of people. Fann ers from the surrounding country had driven through the long, dark hours of the night to be nt the side of the track, where they could pay their lust tribute of respect. AT THE WHITE HOUSE. A Mulit'a Heat In the Great Ell at liuoni. WASHINGTON, Sept. 17.-The re n.uins of President McKinley last night lay in the cast room of the White House, where for more than four years he had made his home as chief executive of the Bient American republic. Up stnirs his widow mourned for her dend in the fam ily apartments that brought back but the saddest of memories. It was with sim ple ceremony ami n silence that fitted peifectly the sadness of the occasion that the body of the late president wns borne along Pennsylvania avenue to the White House nnd laid upon the bier in the great cast room where he had stood so often in the pride of his manhood to receive the greetings of the common peo ple he loved better than himself. It was fitting that such ceremony ns there wns should be severely military in character in recognition of the fact that the president wns the commander In chief of the United States army and navy. Nowhere was there a show of civilian participation. The streets ubout the station were rilled with mounted troops, and the station itself was occu pied by stalwart soldiers nnd sailors in uniform. The blue coated policemen and the railroad employees were nearly ull that stood for civil life. The train bearing the president's re mains arrived in the Pennsylvania rail road station nt H-.HH last evening. The streets around the stuiion nnd Pennsyl vania avenue from there to beyond the White House were dense with people waiting to view the sad march to the White House. Mrs. McKinley nnd the first of the mourning party from Buffalo arrived at the While House nt 8:."2. The shades of Mrs. McKinlcy's carriage were close ly drawn, and under the most stringent eiders from Secretary Cortelyou abso lutely nu newspaper men or others than ollicials were admitted even to the White House grounds. At t:7 the hearse passed through the White House gate. The Itoynl Malt. QUEUKC, Sept. 18.

The luncheon and gen eral reception nt Spencer Wood, ollieml residence of the lieutenant governor, was canceled ns a mark of respect to the dead America u president, and further plans for an expression of regret were made, but unavoidably abandoned.
