The sen le.n wii nriniiKeil for itnd
imis condtuteil under the dlreetlon of
th" jittHtor of tho church, Kev. Dr.
(leoiue K Guild, who hns been u wiirm
(idinlter of the ileud president over
clni . he stepped Into tho nroim of iul
l, life. The choir nt his HUKRestlon
rondei oil the prosddent'H two favorite
hymn. "Nomor, My God to Thee,"
and C'nt'dliial Newmnn's beautiful
l.eiid, Kindly LlKht." Women onuld
be soon llontly weepInK on all sides
us the lllipiosslvoly simple wolds of
the lust named hymn were huhr.
After a brief prayer asklnn the Di
vine blessing for the biokon-henrtod
widow, Dr. Guild read President Hoose
volt's proel.ttn.itlon iinnnuneltiR the
death of President MoKlnley. Ho fol
lowed this with n few words on the
latter'u death.
NO DICKD SO Hl.At'K.
He lefeired to the assassin. itlon of
President MoKlnley as "one of tho
deepest providential mysteries of mod
ern lino s." and made the sliitenient
thai mi di od so black has over sullied
the paRCM of history since Judas be
tr.iytd the S.iimir for thirty pieces of
silver. After recountltiR the dead
president's many virtues he said:
"The sllbllmest part of President
MeKlnleys llf.. was his lust week and
his dentb. Historians will write In the
. .us to (oino that ho died a death such
as et few great men have died.
"When :i few minutes after the ns
s.isslnatlon the suiReons saw his lips
moviiiR and bent low to hear what re
(liio.t he hud to make. They heaul In
stead of a request that bo was repeat
ing "our Km her, who art In heaven,
hallowed be Thy name," and when his
last moments came his thoughts wore
only of those higher things and he
went to sleep with the wotds "Nearer,
My God to Thee," on his lips. If
there Is anything more ftibtlmo on the
pages of history than tills death, I
have not s-eeti It. Would that you
and I and all of us could boar our suf
ferings as be bote his and that we
could die as he died."
.II'DGK VOSiU'llG'S WOI5DS.
Judge A. A. Vosburg followed Dr.
Guild and after referring to the presi
dent as the model A morion n and point
ing out lu detail some of IiIm achieve
ments be went on to say something
about the anarchists and their creed.
He declared that anarchism is blocking
tho broad highway of tho nation's
progress and said that the time has
come for the American people to clean
It out of the way. He urged nil aniend
nieiii to the constitution, If necessary,
in order to deal with tlr- question.
The anarchists should not be permitted
to stand behind the constitution, he
said, and propagate their murderous
doctrines.
Secretary Dolpli 15. Atherton of the
board of trade, who was thrown Into
personal contact with tho president on
many occasion., spoke brlelty of some,
of the personal chaiacterlstlcs which
had apoaled to him. He dwelt espe
cially upon his devotion to his wife
and upon his open hearted method of
receiving visitors which wh no dif
ferent from the cold formulism which
Harrison and Cleveland observed.
Attorney K. K. Tracy declared that
the cltlzens.ot this country have boon
too toletarft of anarchists in tho past
and are now reaping the reward. "We
have encouraged them," said he, "but
may God forbid that we shall continue
to do so." Thomas Morgan followed
Mr. Tracy and urged the christian
nu-n ana women of the country to
stand up for the constitution, for the
law and for the Hllile, all of which the
anarchist would destroy.
IN Till-; S1JCOND GHriU'H.
P.ev. Dr. C K. Koblnson, of the Sec
ond Presbyterian chinch, lu his first
sermon since his return, spoke directly
on the subject ne.:vs to the hearts of
the jioonlo todav, ijS text was from
John, 21:3: "Peter r.ilth, I go n-flsh-ing."
These words wore spoken by
Peter Immeillntely after the Crucifixion
of the Savior of tho World, when the
hearts of the disciples wore sore nnd
burdened with pain. As they took up
their cares nnd wont out to do tho
work left tor their hands by the Mas
ter, so the people of America should
strive, through their tears, to follow
what would have been planned by the
nation's head, bad he lived to com
plete the good work he had begun.
Tho ohiiraitor and life of the presi
dent wete eulogized In fitting words,
and then the speaker declared with in
tensity ngalnst the laxity which has
permitted such a cuiel sacrifice. He
quoted front Colonel Holes' new book,
In which tho author had written most
emphatically against tho apathy which
has existed in this country regarding
the admission of undesirable residents
and offering a remedy, which Is one to
ho studied with thought and appreci
ation. RI.M PAHK CHl'ItCH.
Ilev. K. H. Singer, nsslstnnt pastor
of Kim Park church, made n brief ad
dress previous to tho morning sermon,
In which he paid a beiiutllul tribute
to the dead chief of the nation. Mo
touched particularly on the lofty char
acter, the nobility of purposo and the
faith of President MoKlnley. The Im
press for good mado on the people of
the I'nlted States Is the greatest test
of tho service he hns rendered. The
sorrow over the land today Is not nlone
for tho highest nfllclul.liut for tho man.
Tho choir and congregation sang
"head, Kindly Light," and "Nearer
My God ti Thee," and the emotion
which was evident In tho largo ossein
blago during both address and the
singing of the hymns testified tn the
sadness which burdened nil hearts.
During tho day nnd evening the fol
lowing worn chimed on muffled bells
In the tower of tho church: "My Jesus,
as Thou Wilt," "Asleep in JesuB,"
"Nearer My nod to Thee," "Lead,
Kindly Light," "Jesus, Lover of My
Snul," "Blest Ho the Tie That Hinds,"
"Safe In the Arms of Jesus," "llock of
Ages," "Thy Will Ho Done,'' "My Kalth
Looks l'i to Thee" and "Abide with
Mc."
Tho Adams avenue chapel, on New
Yoik stt ot-t, was dtiipcd with emblems
of mourning and tho national Hag, yes
terday. At the owning service tho con
gregation sang "Lend, Kindly Light,"
nnd "Nearer My God lo Thee," two of
the late President McKlnloy's favorite
hymns. Special prayer was offered for
tho nation, the government and Mrs.
McKinley.
The Ilev. James Hughes, pastor, con
ducted tho service, nnd referred to tho
snd calamity that has befallen tho
country In tho assassination of the late
president, who has been such an holi
otnble nnd conspicuous flguio In the
history nnd work of nations for a num
ber of years. McKlnK-y will always
appear n bright star In the galaxy of
Amerlian piesidents .and Indeed con
spicuous among tho great rulets of na
tions. May this very painful event
sober tho mind of tho general public,
lead to a seatchlug Inquiry as to the
cause of such diabolical acts, and to
piofolind humility before God. Lot us
open tho windows of the cellars of na
tional life, where theio Is fo much
deadly darkness, and let the light of
tho gospel stream In, It Is the only
remedy for national disorders.
AT TII'O CATIIKDHAL.
At each of the musses In the cathe
dral, yesterday, sermons were preached
dealing with the national rnlnmlty nnd
the lessons to be drawn from It.
Ilev. J. A. O'Hoilly, rector of the
cathedral, at tho high mass yesterday,
preached a sermon based on the clay,
tho feast of ihe Holy Name of Mary.
In the course of bis sermon he dealt
wllh anarchy, characterizing It as an
outgrowth of Irrellglon, nnd offering
as an absolute panacea tho correct edu
cation of children. Ilev. Kather O'Hoil
ly also spoke In highly eulogistic terms
of President McKinley as ,1 mini nnd
a ruler.
At tho 7 o'clock mass, Itov. J. J. Grlf
lln, chancellor of the diocese, prefaced
his seimon with a eulogy of President
McKinley. speaking of him In the high
est tortus of praise ns a pure states
man, and 1111 exemplary man. His do
mestic life, Kather Gtitlln said, was
partii uliirly admirable.
At the !i o'clock mass, Tlev. Kather
O'llyrno paid a gracious eulogy to the
dead president, and denounced an
archy as tho one particular doctrine
above all others that was the antithe
sis of lellglou. American Catholics, ho
said, hold the constitution as second
only to their faith. The Catholic child
Is tutored at lis mother's knee to revere
Its government next to Its God. Kather
O'Hyrne also made the statement that
anarchy could not be born In America.
It was exotic, he said, and no think
ing man could bold otherwise.
Ilev. D. J. Hustln celebrated the mass
for boys lu the chapel of St. Thomas
college, and, 111 his sermon, paid a
glowing tribute to President McKinley,
characterizing him ns a high typo of
American citizenship, blameless in his
private and public life.
Touching upon anarchy, Kather Hus
tln said, 111 the words of St. Augustine,
"Whatever crime Is committed by one
man Is capable of being committed by
all men, unless tho grace of God inter
fetes." This being true, the grace of
God Is the safeguard against n repeti
tion of the horrible crime which today
bows the nation's bend lu deepest
mourning.
Anarchy, Kather Hustln said, Is par
ticularly opposed to tho Catholic
church, because of the fact that the
church Insists llrst, Inst and nlways
upon Its members having every duo re
gard for regularly cotihtltutcd author
ity. st. John's ciirncn.
At ,St. John's Catholic church, Klg
street, the pastor, Hev. H. J. Molley,
dealt extensively in ills sermon with
the sociological aspect of the presi
dent's assassination.
That the president of tho I'nlted
States should bo struck down by nn
assassin is nn astounding crime, said
Kather Molley, but In addition to this
It Is to the mind of tho contemplative
man a burning shame nnd disgrace,
that In a country with so benign a
government, where there Is such an
litter absence of anything approaching
tyranny, the ruler and so good a ruler
should be tho victim of anarchical
fanaticism.
Anarchy, Kather Molley held, was on
offshoot of the secret societies which
organized to oppose the authority of
the Catholic church and which were
given such general encouragement In
Italy, Kranco and Germany. If the
Catholic church's teachings prevailed
there could bo no anarchy, he said.
Hlsmarck drove the priests from Ger
many, but when ho found thnt the ab
sence of these teachers tended to the
spread of anarchy, he called them back
and made ponce with the Catholic
church, Au adherence to the moral law
laid down by the church Is the true
solution of tho anarchy problem.

'I un you to remember," snld ho,
"that bcloro the suffrages of hlsi fel

The doctor showed his opposition to
tho views of Dr. Tit Imago and other
clergymen who expressed regret that

mob, vh"ii he said:
"We must only express our rage, nnd

LACKAWANNA NOW
A STATE HOSPITAL
Recently Appointed Directorate Or
ganized nnd Chose Employes.
What the Transfer Means.
The trustees of the State Hospital of
the Northern Anthracite Coal Klolds,
toitiu-rly the Lackawanna l.otpltal, met
Saturday for c rganlzation. Thole were
present Slate Auditor General 13, H.
Hardenbergh, Hev, J. A. O'Hellly,
Colt net I.. II. Hippie. James P. Dick
son. L. L. Kuller, nnd O. S. Johnson.
The directorate was organized with
James P. Dickson, president; Colonel
K. II. Hippie, vice-president; K, L.
Kuller, secretary and treasurer: Col
onel K. II. Hippie. Hev. J. A. O'RIelly
nnd William K. Hallstcad, executive
committee.
P, Silas Walter was chosen assistant
secretary-treasurer, and the present
superintendent and assistant. Miss
Klin K. Kramer nnd Miss Caroline
Claghorn were re-elected.
The committees will be named later
by President Dickson. Another moot
ing of the trustees will be held one
week from next Saturday.
The hospital now ceases to be a pri
vate Institution and becomes a ohaigo
of the state. Its maintenance will
be provided for entirely by the state
and whatever appropriation Is made
to It will not be considered ns a part
of Lackawanna county's share of the
state appropriations. This will mean
that the other hospitals and charitable
Institutions receiving state old can ex
pect more liberal treatment In the fu
tlite. The move to make the hospital a stale
Institution found Its origin In the cir
cumstance that tho control of tho mln
lr,g Industry of the Lackawanna val-
Uy has passed Into foreign hands.
When local men had executive charge
of the coal business, the hospital was
assured of liberal assistance. As It Is
now the Delaware nnd Hudson com
puny is about the only big corpora
tion that could bo counted upon to glvo
anything more than very meagre con
tributions. The directors put the matter before
the late Senator Vaughan and the four
Lackawanna representatives and they
united In making this one of their chief
ambitions nt the last session of the
legislature. Congressman Connell,
Auditor General Hardenbergh, Deputy
Attorney General Kleltz and other of
the men from these parts having lu
lliiOHc nt Harrlsbuig, gave: the ropie
st 1 'atlves their heartiest support, and
the consequence was tho hospital was
tnln under tho care of the state. An
app'-oprialon of $70,000 was granted tho
lir.-t year. Of this, JtiO.ono Is for main
tenance and $10,000 for Improvements.

Hepubllcan club rooms. Tho following
resolutions, presented by a committee
consisting of M. W. Lowry, Lewis B.
Carter nnd Daniel Powoll.were adopted:
In deepest sorrow wo have learned
that the fatal missile of i-.n nssassln
has carried our bravo and beloved
president beyond the gates of this life:
that his genius nnd usefulness has been
sacrificed to the spirit of vandalism
and nnarchy.
Millions of loyal hearts aro bleeding
In loving sympathy and fondest mem
ory, not alone for our chieftain, but for
our friend and brother, William Mo
Klnley, tho greatest American of his
time.
Tho feeling of peace and security has
given way to sombre mourning nt every
Hresldo throughout the land. Without
personal nmbltlon he gave all ho hnd
to his country, nnd now his death Is
tho crowning sacrifice. Born In the
ante-slavery days, In the Lnke coun
trv, of Scotch-Irish stock, he shared
the aspirations of the rising blood of
the North. Without thought of per
sonal danger, ore manhood had hard
ened his fram. he began tho long sol
dier march, through changing vicissi
tudes, which brought him out of South
ern Jungles and from Atlanta to the
se-i; and from a private to a major of
volunteers. The soldier boy returned,
became a disciple of the law.
Kroin the profession of tho law ho
turned tn public life and to the service
of his state and nation. A child of tho
soil, n youth In the nrt of nrins, trained
in the school of the legislator, polished
by the graces born of contact with tho
noble natures of our republic, with
which his rare taste and high Ideals
surrounded him, he became the Ideal
type of American statesman, leader
ship and norjlo manhood..
Able, sagacious, diplomatic, conser
vative, philanthropic, self-sacritlclng
and God-fearing, his constancy nnd
loving klndnoss made lilin a model of
civic and domestic virtue. In rhe provi
dence of God he was the Instrument to
lead tho greatest nation ou earth
through the vicissitudes of a foreign
