Two Small Youngsters Playing with Matches Inflict Seiious Loss. A yaiso barn on U10 prmlse of Kivln H. S'tone, the milk denier of 21 Hlikctt street, was totally destroyed liv fire j'cstcirtay mornlttR at about li.OO o'clock, togcthci with Its content'-. Mr. Stone was nut on Ills milk loutc ind nt the time of the outbreak wis mi Uelmont avenue, delivering nilllc tn n etiatomot. Ills wife was in the Kitchen oC liur litimo, back of which tlio bain stood, doing her housekeep ing duties, a four-year-old hon nnmsd and ti neighbor's boy named feu in son were In the barn playing. Mr. Stone had just had an addition built to his bain and tlio finishing touches on It weie completed on ITon d.iy noon. Among the materials left by the earpentei.s was a htK of nails. AVhile the youngsteirt weie exploilmr In the now pait of the bain thoycame iuioss the box of mils and In it was a mntch. As they had been fm bidden to play with match? their 'nst im pulse was, of coiuse, to elimb up in the hayloft with it, out of hlgbt, and theie to enjoy their new plaj thing. After it had binned almost to the llngpitlps of one of the in chins It was tin own down in haste, light in the hay. Tlie two Utile I oy.s, nfi.-iul '.o led of il e file in the ioft, scampered down and picking up a chubby handful of stones apiece, attempted to put out the flames themselves. Mis. Stone, at about this time, glanced out of the kitchen window to see where the boys were. She saw the smoke, but as there was a big pile of brush be hind the barn, she at (list supposed It was that which was limning, hu was impelled to take a second look, linuei-r, and then saw what the lioublo was. She hastened to send In an alaite, but did not know how o do so, amPno went to A. D. Wylllo's gioeety stoio on Belmont sheet and telephoned to the Mitchell Hose com pany. Then Mr. Wyllle rang in an alarm. The last note of the alarm had not sounded before the Mitchell's drove In. But valuable time had been lost, and the bain was beyond sav ing. The house was thieatened, as well as other buildings, and another a hum was tinned in five minutes latei, biinglng the Columbia Hose (ompany. Their united effoits kept I he blaze fiom spieading fuither, but Hie li.irn could not be saved and it l.in nod to the giound, all except one little comer. Stoied in the barn was a quantity of hay, ice cieam tubs and fixtuies, milk cans, and a tanlage. The hitter was idled out. but the lest of the contents weie eleHtioyed. The total damages was estimated at about SSno or $900. Mr. Stone did not have a cent of Insuianee or. anv of this, and what makes the loss hauler to beat is the fact that the now ad- 'lllon, finished Monday, had never been used, and was, huidenlallv, the i ftiise of the dpstiuetion ol the whole kiiutuie, thiough the woiknAn hav ing left the fatal match handv to snail fiiiReis.

All the stoics and shops continued wot king until 3 o'clock, when the lut tei shut down foi the puiposo of al lowing their employes who had not un til then eeiclsod the piivilege ot the finnchlso to do .so. The heaviest vot ing was done but ween the houis of 12 anil 1 and aftei . o'clock, the niotn lug and afternoon molding a light vole, cscept in the above named houis. Theie was a gieat deal of comment made on the fact that the space for the voter to iiiaiK his acceptance or l ejection of the pioposcd Inciease of debt fm the purpose of bonding tlui city foi municipal water was hidden away at the cxlieniu end of the cum in nut, ballot, Homo of tlio most en thusiastic volets for and against this proposition forgot all about it when they weie maiklng their ballots and w cup 'reminded of It only when It was toS'luto by some fi lend asking how they' voted: "lly fleorge, 1 foigot all about1 It," or "I don't believe it was on the ballot. 1 didn't see it," was the Visual lejolnder, which was fol low ccJL a ways, by a laugh at th vo iei'swexpepsc. This was ouo ol the icasons why the vote on the water question fell behind the rest of tho ticket. i The Republicans icceivcd their io tuins at their headquarters in the An thinclte Hotel 'and tho Deniociut.s at their headquarters In the Academy of Music, ji, T)je We'ddlng Today.

Outline Study of the Personality of tlio Present and Noxt President of the United States A Narrative of Developing Powers and Steady Progress Upward. From the Philadelphia Prcsi. The man whoso re-electlou has just been decreed Is too well known to the reading pifbllc to demand any cut-and-drlcd biography at this Into day. The meic dotes of hh llfo nnd the bare facts have lost their Inteiest. It Is the anecdotal side, tho mote Inti mate, side revealed by tho stories of those who have known him long and well and have treasured up their rem iniscences of htm that is Interesting. To speak at length of his ancestry would be to lepcut facts that aie nl tcady well known. That he Is descend ed fiom sturdy Scotch-Irish ancestois, that he was the seventh child of Will lam McKinley, a pioneer In the It on puddling business In Ohio those facta have been threshed over again and again. Though the town ot Canton Is most Intimately associated with tho name ot McKinley, It was not his birthplace. He was born In Nlles. Tho old Inhabitants of that quaint little village claim to remember him, but their memories arc vague, for ho was only a boy when the family moved to Poland, Mahoning county, O. Ills people wore not rich then, neither were they poor. AT POLAND ACADEMY. Young William was sent to tho vil lage school In Niles, but his father felt that bettor educational advantages for the eight children could be secured elsewheie. Accoidingly hu moved to Poland and the future president was sent to what was known as the "acad emy" In that town. He stood well among his school-fellows in all Jils studies, but his woik in tho Debating society .seemed to give an eaily hint of the eloquent oratoilctl powers which latei enabled him to swaj' multitudes with even more case than at that time he swajed the school fellows who gatheied to hear the de bates. At the eaily age ot sixteen he left the Poland academy for the Allegheny college in Meadville, Pa. Heie, how ever, a sudden illness forced him to give up his studies and lo icturn home. On the top of this misfortune came what practically amounted to the busi ness failure of his father. Everything was not lost, to be sure, but the tamlly was so reduced in circumstances that It was Impracticable to send William back to college. TKACHUR AND VOLUNTEER. Up was still little more than a boy, but anxious to do all ir, his power to aid In the suppoit of his family, he took a position as district school teach er, with the munificent salary of $25 a month. And then came the war, and the young school teacher, burning with the desire to aid in tho great cause of llb eity, was one of the fust to enlist in tlio army. TiObeit P. Poiter, In Ws "Life of Wil liam McKinley," gives this description of the young man's enlistment: "Poland had btiong enlisting pro pensities. It was the banner town ship. The boys went to the front just as soon as the National government would take them. Poland's pride today Is that she never stood the diaft. Her quota was always lull and overflowing". Said an enthusiastic Polander to the vv rltei : " 'Ot this she is tightly ptoud. When the war cloud had burst over our heads Poland came to the front with mora than her shaio of ti ensured sons as her offering. "'And the preliminaries weie, as a rule, conducted at the Sparrow" House. One day In .Tune, 1S61, a crowd had gatheied in this old tavern. An Im passioned speaker pointed lo the Stars nnd Stilpes which hung on the wall and exclaimed with much expression: "'Our countr.v 's Hag has been shot at. It has been tialled in the dust by those vv ho should defend it, dishonored by those who should have cherished and loved it and for what? That this fieo government may keep a race In the bondage of slavery. Who will bo the llrst to defend It?' "A deadly silence icigued In that hotel parlor. . Many beating hearts: theie were in the loom. Many young patriots stood theie who longed to serve their country and yet) hail not tho couiage to make the flist move. "Piehently a space was cleared In fiont of th eloquent speaker. One by one some of the choicest ot the young men ot Poland stepped forwatd. Among them a slight gray-eyed boyish flguie might have been observed. "Too much hnpiossel with the soil ousness of the situation to put hlm&olf In evidence lie stepped up with the test. He was only a boyish private then." Pl'T ON TUB STAFF. Tho company that was formed then was carefully drilled in the few days that tluy had befoio their depaituro for camp. On tho dav that they left Poland half of the to,vn followed them almost to Youngstown In their eager ness to keep the hiave boys In sight ns long as possible. At Youngstown tha train was boaid ed ai d tha journey for Camp Chase at Column! i begun. Hero Company K. of the Twenty-thlid Ohio regiment, pitched Its tents and among thoso who lay umUr that scant shelter was Wil liam McKinley, just stnitlng on. tho caieer that has biousht him such hon or and such gratitude fiom a whole na tion. McXIuley's executive ability hi ought him Into notice almost Immediately, Uu was made commlKsaiy Hergeant and for two ji'413 was on the staff of Presi dent Wnyoi, who was (hen In command of the ictjlment. AT ANT1ETAM, On what Piesldent Huyes had called tlui bloodiest cluy of the whole wni the 17th of September, ISti.', in tho Ilattle of Antletum SeiBcunt MoKln liiy's conduct was such that his com mander In lioi son Kiomuiciided his pioinotlon, I 1'lider thu hottest lite, with mpii lying dead und dying all about htm, with men suffering blttetly from tho wunl of a bite to eat, and a drop to dilnk, Scngeant McKinley, with tho stair that ho had oigunUod so well, as evprywhete on tho field, distribut ing tho food and the coffee that the fighting men so much needed, cheering them on with his biavo words and never for an Instant seeming to earn for tho shot and the shell that were' flying so fast about him. Malor Hayes noticed, the young man with admiring oye. While tacnvetlng from his wounds, ho called upon (lov crnor Todd, of Ohio, nnd totd him ot the Incident. The governor Immedi ately ordered the promotion of 8er atsnnt MeKlnley, nnd ordered further that the promotion should be placed upon tho roster of the company. Stop by step after that the young man won his way up until three months before ho was mustctcd out tie was mado major by brevet "for gallant and meritorious service at tho battle of Opequan, Cedar Creak ana Fisher's Hill." Hl9 commission Is signed "A. Lin coln." HAVKD THE DAY. At the battle of Opequan, MoKinley, then a captain, won tho regard nnd respect of alt those who saw htm. One of the men present hiis written the fol lowing description: "The Twenty-third Ohio took a con spicuous part in this battle and the brigade and division to which McKin ley belonged made a. most gallant charge across a morass. General Hayes . led this charge and McKinley was on Hayes' staff. "Crooks' corps, to which McKinley belonged, was hold in icscrvc. Thf battle opened with the Sixth und Nine teenth coips. "A dreadful crash und slaughter oc curred. Tho Union linen were driven hack and Crook, by direction of Sheri dan, sent for his reserve to come up. "Every staff officer had been sent to hurry them. McKinley was, the last one left with Crook. "Uoth Crook and Sheridan said, 'Cap tain McKinley, for God's sake go back and bring those troops up.' "McKinley found on his way hack that tho pike over which tho First division had come up was strewn with horses, biokcn caissons nd dismantled aitllloiy and that it was obstructed to such an extent that it was Impiacttc ahla for tioops to travel over it. "Ho found tho First division slow I v but as lupldly as It could, picking Its way to the front. Knowing the Im portance of their presence, he advised the Flist division to make hasto, and then he went to tho Second division, commanded by General Isaac H. Duvnl Up plalned to General Duval the condition-! at the fiont and tho abso lute necessity of the tioops getting theie at once, and ho also CMilained the ditflculty ot getting up the pike and suggested to General Duval flint theie was a dirt road lunning up lo tho piku that would enable the divi sion to g't to the fiont promptly, ana would piobably assist In saving the dav. On McKInloy asking General Duval if he would take the dirt load, the general answered that he had not bpen commanded to do so by General Crook. Eye witnesses to the incident say that Captain McKinley rose straight up in his saddle and said: "Then by command of General Crook I commajid vou." It was that piomptncss which saved the day. PROUD OF WAR TITLE. President McKinley is justly proud of his war title. Shortly after his election to the presidency, an old Ohio farmer, who ha? known him for yeais, called to pay I1I3 respects." "I don't know just whnt to call you know, major." he said. "You used to be just Major McKinley, then you were Lawyer McKinley, then you wore Congressman McKinley, then you were Governor McKinley and now you are President-elect McKinley, but you are not piesldent yet." Mi. McKinley nhooklhiin wnvmly'by the hand and said: "You must still called me Major McKinley, for I won thnt title. These other titlen ate only temporary." AFTER THE WAR. After this honorable caieer as a sol dier Major McKinley i etui nod to Po land and xead law In the office ot Charles E. Glldden, a judge of the common pleas court. Judge Glidden was a remarkable young man, very little nvei .10, and his influence, not only as a teacher, but as a beloved companion, was most poteni. in shap ing tho caieer of the young law stu dent in his oftlcp. Major McKinley htudlefl fm a year and a half In Poland and tln'is attend ed a course of lectin c at the Albany Law School until, in 1867, lie was ad mitted to the bai.

Canton not only gave to Mr. McKin ley a rnreer which has brought him such prominence. It gavo him also u loyal wife, who has aided (more than any one known in maklnv him what he lh today. When the young man flit went to Canton to visit his sister he met Miss Ida Saxton, the daughter of James Saxtcn, a welt-to-do banker ot Canton. When he left Canton to study law at Albany lil.i acquaintance with Miss Saxton was dropped lor the time be ing. When.however, Ini began to practice- hiv In Canton he mat her 'again, and In Jauuiuj, 1MI, they weta mar ried. One of tho piesldont'3 most strongly marked traits lias always been his de votion to his mother nnd to his wife. While his mother was alive ho 'al lowed scarcely a day to pass without sending her some message to totwher know that till was well with htm. Dining his govcrnoishlp theie was a peilod of over a week nt the time ot one of the great strikes when McKIn loy did not find time for a single night's sleep, yet every day he found time to wilte to his mother and pie sent ns cheerful n side of the case as possible. His solicitude for his Invalid wife has been equally touching. Ho haB even gone so far at times, when she wutt suffering more thun usually, to attend to some of the little details of tho household management of the presi dential mansion, In order to lellovo her as much as possible rrom the strain and nnxlpty of such duties. Vorv lrequctitly during the lust tour yeart, even when some impoitrmt con feienc was being held, he ha'j f.eusi'd himself and haa run up stairs to spend a few momenta with the woman who is so thoroughly In sympathy with him. And no latter how dnil: or tin cann ing the situation in.iv loom lo him, 'he has invailably presented to hci only the most cheenfnl side Perhaps the mest pathetic pai t ot It all is that a man of ruch tpnd'-r devn tlon to his family nhould have had so llttlo ical home life. For the last twen ty yean oi mure his cfoits haw been Riven so cntliolv to the service ol his country nnd he ha-i btni foiced to move from place to place continu ously that thtie au been Utile chance foi that domestic hapl'lne.ss which a man of his natuio lo covuts. ADVICE OF HAVP.S. Ills success in the halls of congiess has by sonic bern attilbutcd to the ad vice given him by Piesldent Haves when he was first elected a ropiesen tative. "To achieve success and fame," said President Hujes, "you must pursue a special line. You. must not make a speech on every motion offered or every bill Intioduced. You must cortllne jour self to one thing in particular. Bo come a specialist. Take up some binnch of legislation and make It your study. Why not choose the tariff?" Mr. McKinley did choose the taiiff and though when the McKinley bill became a law In 1S90, it was1 attacked bitterly by those who opposed il and those who did not undcistand it, its author never for one moment doubted the wisdom of his measuie und his counsel was always 'My filends, be Arm. This is only a cross cut rent. The tide of tiuth flows surely on beneath." While he was pieparing the bill for Its submission to congiess, the gieat patience of the man and his desire to hear aiguments on both sides of eveiy question, was cleat ly shown agaiu and again. One evening a wealthy manu facturer, who was a Democi.it, called upon McKinley in his loom and said to him: "Mr. McKinley, 1 havp been my member, who Is a Democrat, to try to get him to help me In obtaining a hcai ing befoio your committee. I have been to my senator, who is also a Democrat, and I have been to eveiy Influential man I know in Washington, but not one of them has been ot any assist ance to me. Now f have come to ou I have no claim on you whatever, but I want to ask the piivilege of aiguins my case bofoie sou." All night long the.' two men sat and talked. Every atgiimemt that the Democial could bring to bear was used against one or the piovislons of the taiiff measure. Hooks weie taktu down and studied, piece-dents were in vestigated and the tariff schedules weie thoioughly looked over, and when at last the manufacturer aiose to go Mi. McKinley said to him: "Your claim is just, I thank you for bringing It to inc. AVe should havu eried If we had left the schedule as It Is. I will see that It Is changed." POPULAR AT THE CAPITOL. Among the . niplos-s in the Capitol thtie was no man In the halls of con gress who was looked upon with greater lospect or nion- uduiluitlon and love than Mi. MrKInlev. At least two of tho pags will have cause to icmeiu ber for the ie-,1 of their lives the klul heait of the- man who is now inesiclciit.
