A DISASTROUS BLAZE.
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.
ELECTION DAY.
A Heavy Vote but Most of It Cast
Late in the Day.
Tlio day in Catbondalo was vety
quiet, all tin saloons being closed liom
T In the moiniug until V in the evening.
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

HUMAN SIDE
OP M'KINLEY
THB MAN AS PORTRAYED IN
ANECDOTE.
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.
He saw then that Poland was too
small s town to support another law
yer. In casting about for n place in
which to settle It was very laigely his
deshe to be near his sister Annie that
led him to Canton.
Here the young man hung out his
shingle and began his career In law
and politics. Staik county, of which
Canton was the seat, wan the strong
hold of bigoted Jacksonlan Detmoc

Tlie bitter gubernatorial campaign
of IS'u' was nioip hotly contested there
than in any other part of Ohio.
Not only did I he Republicans have
to light fm themselves against this
Democracy, but It was their task o
cany to vlctoiy tho constitutional
amendment which would give uffiage
to tlie negto lacr.

1113 ROMANCE.
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

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

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

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.
When Mr. McKinley was unst-itloil in
1800 he asked one of the pates to at

papeis fiom hW drvk hi tin- Iioiisp nt
lepiespiitn'-lves. The boy ;ot e cal

When he reported to Mr, McKinley the

"Oh, no, Mr. MoKlnlov," hu said, "I
