The career of William McKlnley fur nished ;i life full of energy, of activity and hope. No man ever lived who did not leave an Impression on those about him. A man's sins may go down for ever, but the .tar of his example will be lived forever In the llrniaiiient. The public i-aieei- of President McKlnley, Mr. Ileynolds- lontlnticd, was long and brilliant, and like all men In public contests, he felt the feelings of Ills fellow men. but thiough it all In- pnt sued the even tenor of his honorabl-. life. Ills humility wns conspicuous, and during bis congressional career the most humble servant was assured of the kindest treatment. lie was thoroughly American in all his sentl m -ins. He wns the friend of the toller. He was a lover nf liberty and the advocate ol universal freedom. He tell no distrust and was incapable of deception, lie was a man of kindly s.vmpatbles and while easily aroused In the cause of Justice, he never liar Pored III towards anyone. He believed In die sanctity of the home and every thing seemed to lead him back to the -hilt med circle of his family. Till-: I.KSSONS OF Till-: TltAHKliV. Speaking of Hie len-ons that the tragedy of the nation taught Mr lley nolds said that from It we learn of the .-.lability of our government, Anarchy may shake Its list In the face or government, but the ship or t-iat- sails on. We hear again what (Sin Held Mild: "ilod reigns and the government lives." Ill couclllslon, Mr. Iteynolds loiiihed on the coining of death, of how people would like to peer beyond Its sable i attains, and he pointed out how hap py must the man b who, like our dear president, could approach the supicme end with the song of ".N'caier My Hod to Thee." MIS. O'NF.lUs THOFllHTS. Hon, .lames J. O'Neill, in his Inspir ing talk, touched at the beginning on the lessons that tic nation's loss con. veyed. The Idea of American citizen ship and American life, he said. Is that of unity. It was to toim a more pei -fret union that the coiihtitutlon under which we ate governed was formed, but at no time could vve have a better Idea of what unity means than when of our rulers dies and we gather about him. M'KINl.KY HFI.ONliS TOTHKAOKS McKlnley wns a great man, and, as Stanton said nf Lincoln, "He belongs to the ages." We're all mourners here, Mr. O'Neill said, and he expiessud himself as pleased to be called upon to add his word, and as one who was of different political faith, to lay his trib ute on the bier of the departed stal -s-man and ruler. The departed presi dent will hear comparison in the fullest sense with Washington and Lincoln. Ha eh of those p.-rformed his gicat part In the nation's work, but neither one performed a greater part than he. He grew every lioiu that ho sat In the highest place in th-- laud. Ills life was the embodiment of all that the Ameri can government mil do for humanity. No king or emperor or empress was more In the public eje or did a greater service, lie knew, he grasped and hn irnuliled the very spirit of the times, He moulded the opinions of the poor people until he brought the country to lie the gieatest among all nations. Our country has been to Its high place largely, If not entirely, by the ruler who was laid low by the base, wanton, lowiiidly assassin. He built so strong. ly that President Itoosevelt Jms pledged himself to follow the cnuixo t.'l by the departed president, which, as we know the man, he would not do If he were not sure of the ground be foie him. A KKlU,l-:i DIPLOMAT. President McKlnley was a noblo character, continued Mr. O'Neill. In touching on his peonmil clianicterls tieji. He was brave, courageous, gen tie, courteous and honest; and I can't even llnd a discourteous act that Is Phone : NEW, 286 OLD, 0423 iharged to hlin. So true was he nnd so close n student of political events, he became skilled In diplomacy: he was first among the diplomats, and his sot tlemenls of the (piestlons thnt arose out of the Spanish war, attested this. Furthermore, through It all. he was sincere, and there was n refreshing uliMMiee of buncombe. To show the stability of the govern ment, .Mr. O'Neill pointed out that while the fact of the president's death was deplored, yet It could not affect the government, because the people rule. If the senate and congress nnd all were wiped out In a single night, we could have a perfect government In foity-elght hour. The pity of It all Is that a man who represented all that was good n American life was sttlckcn by this dastardly creature. Hut abso lute protection Tor a president can never be; he can always feel that he H the object of wrath and hatred. Jle can never feel safe, nnd he must be u.iirageous and brave. Mr. O'Neill referred to the presi dent's il'-cl.irallnn Ihat he hoped "the pom hoy (his assas.mi) would be treated well," and he Imped so ton, for It would 111 become this land of free dom to deny him Justice. NATION WKF.PS WITH M US. Me KINLKV. "There still remains on the hori zon." concluded Mr. O'Neill, "a sad plctili'" of a frail child weeping and mourning b.-slde the bier of one who was more to her and the nation weeps with her." At St. Rose Church. St. Hose church aws almost tilled when the church hell ceased tolling Its mournful knell and the strains broke out or the mass that was about to be sung In observance or the nation's mournful day. Itev. (leoige Ulxou was the cele brant of the high mass and the church choli was present to assist In the sol emn and Impressive services. The unusual spectacle of a Catholic nltur sin rounded with draplugs of the American Hag was presented. The na tional color ran In a clrc'e on the wal-d Mil-rounding the altor, with sym bols or mourning nttached. The altars or the St. .loseph and th Klessed Vir gin Mary were likewise draped with black At the com luslon or the mass. Father niMin preached a forcible ser mon, devoting nearly all of his time to ecorlating the evil of anarchism, .-bowing how delusive was the system and what a grave offense It was to rise up against the government or deride Its authority, which was from (Jod. The sermon was based on the lesson contained In verses I to 7 of the thli teenlh li.iptei- of the Kplstle of St. Paul to the Unmans. Iteferrlng to the occasion, Father liixon said 'it was n most solemn one; a moment when a nation, a country Is pouring out Ittf heart and soul in grief over the loss or Its sovereign, when sympathies are coming to those bereft of a noble president, when messages or sympathy nie coming fmm every nation in the world to soothe us In our sorrow and grief and to express le grets that the head or the nation should fall by the hand of nu assassin: coining to deplore such an act. a crime against man and Cod. In this moment or sorrow, there conies the messages or peace to console the sorrowing and the prayer that Hod may comfort all hi the sorrow or the atllictlon. Well might we grieve; llrst. because one of natilie's noblemen, the representative or our people, has been cut down 111 death; and one or the nation's best representatives or manhood and of statesmanship has fallen before the bullet uf an assassin: and well may we grh VI- because or his noble character and again because might rises against right anil strikes against all power, all authority. "There Is no power except that which comes from Hod and Is ordained or Ood. Such Is the law or nature and the law or Ood: there must be a ruler anil there must be authority. We see this exemplified by the laws or nature. Where there Is lire there must be n leader. The cattle that we see herded together, the birds that lly across the horizon, have their leader; the most savage tribe In darkest Africa has Its chief. In whatever condition we find man. we see the necessity of a leader, and as we advance In civilization wo see this condition In Its perfection. The theory that strikes at a system or law and order strikes at man mid Ood. be cause even In heaven order Is the llrst law. "In this sjlorlous republic, what a grand privilege It Is for us to place one from our midst In authority over us: we c annul rule ourselves, hut by our free choice w place one In authority over us. The authority iccognizeil in tlie president Is our own. and vve have given to him what Hod has given to us. lly this act we pledge to serve and obey his laws, and that authority comes from Hod. Just as we are sub-Jei-t In Hod, so we are subject to tho head or our nation, not In wrath but in i onscience. No p.uo.M rcilt ANAItCHV. "Theie Is no room for anarchy In this land of ours, ami he who would uphold It would strike ut Hod himself. It Is n delusive system that would teach that human nature Is so perfect that every nu- ,ouid jive according to his con science." Father Olxon here defined the dlffci cut forms of anarchy and pointed nut what terrible chaos would follow the attempt in overthrow authority and government. "There Is no authority." he said again, by vvav of emphasis, "but fioni Hoil, and consequently we should pay those in authority all icspcct mill honor, because of their station: fear because of punishment, and love be cause they rub- us III the name or Hod, our Heavenly Father. OI'i: NOHLK PltKSlilFNT. "i nil- president was noble as a slates man; noble In his home, the llrst place ho bad authority and the llrst element In goverimienl; there he acquired the llrst virtues that were afterward per fected in the presidency. What love and what devotion to his helpmate were his years with her In her Illness, an Invalid, you might say. There he showed his love, his fidelity, his true I'hrlHtlun virtues; virtues that cannot bo despised but admired; virtues by which every one may prollt. "ll Is our task to labor nnd spread the light, to lake from the minds of those who would have them these, false principles: to teach them by example, by love fur country and authority Hint there Is no room for anarchy. Pray that the principles of love nnd Chrlstl nnlty may sink deeply Into our hearts, thnt we may uphold the noble govern ment with which vve are blest." During the last gospel, Prof, Stock man rendered "Nearer, My Ood, to Thee" on the organ, nnd after tho ser mon the choir gave a feeling rendition of "Lend, Kindly Light." At the Lutheran church last night there was n lengthy programme of ex ercises. Tho pastor, Itev. V. Khlnger, delivered a eulogy and read tho burial service. At Trinity Church. The service nt Trinity Episcopal church conslstd of tho reading of the burial service, the singing by tho vested choir of the llttinlea nnd tho psalms and the recltntlon of the pray esr prepared especially for the occa sion by Bishop Potter. The Impresslveness of tho occasion was added to by the rendition by Itiilph Williams, of Scrnnton, of three selections. "One Sweetly, Solemn Thought," "Safe with Ood," nnd Ten nyson's "Crossing the Mar;" also "Load. Kindly Light" nnd "Nearer, My Hod, to Thee" by the choir and the congregation. The church was thronged during the service. In the Public Schools. In all the public schools the scholari participated In exercises appropriate to the day. The president's favorite hymns vvete sung nnd the biography nf the Inte president was. road. At the High school. Prof. "W. A. Hrytlcn. the principal, made n splendid address. Citizens' Meeting at Powderly School The citizens of the southern part of tho city held a meeting In the after noon In what is popularly known as tho Powderly school. An Interesting programme was rendered, which com prised nddresses by Itev. Dr. Whalen, Hot). .James J. O'Neill nnd- Attorney H. C. Hutlcr. Several of the scholars de livered bright addresses and recitations especially prepared for th" occasion, nnd besides President McKlnley's fa vorite hymns they sang several patriotic selections. The thoughtful ness of the citizens who arranged the atfalr bespoke their patriotic spirit and was highly creditable to them. ELABORATE HOME WEDDING. Numerous Friends Witness Nuptials of Miss Sara J.

The Average Per Day Is About Two Newspaper Columns. I'mm I lie New Drlcirn Tunes IVmoiejt. "I have been trying to figure out how tunny words tho average man utter."! in every twenty-four hours," paid a gentleman yesterelay, who him a pen chant for peculiar things, "but I havo been unable to reach any satisfactory conclusion on account of the different lates of speed at which eliffcront pur sons talk. Of couise, 1 have no refer ence to the different kinds of words which may be found In tho daily vocabulary of the average man, hut t am talking about the total number of words uttered, counting repetitions and all, during every twenty-four hours. There Is the quiet, melancholy gentle man who will not speak on an nveragej live hundred words a day, and thcrtj aie niany who for one reason and an other would not utter anything llko this number. On the other hand, there Is the conversational Catling gun, not always a woman either, who will roll olf winds at a fearful late of speed, and whose aggregate for one day would run up to dizzy heights. Then there is the normal talker, who will strike a. good decent average, the man who will neither bore you with his indifferent silence nor tire you with his meaning less verbosity. But suppose we tlguni that the average person will utter an average of sixty words every minute. This would amount to L',100 words every hour, or about ti7,ii00 words for twenty four hours, fit course, no person will talk this much, as the windiest nf men and women would probably break down before they had talked as much as llfty-seven columns In the nverago dally newspaper. The only riliestlon Is as to how much time each person puts In talking during each day. Some nn-n and women are situated so that thev cannot talk during the day except at; meal time, on account of the charai tee of woik they have rn do. There nro others, such as traveling men, for in stance, who depend upon talking foe their llWnff- 1 have figured that tin high man. piobably the traveling mm , will talk live hours out of every twentJ foiir. which would give him a total of twelve thousand words every daj. X lime figured that most any sort of a. man will talk as much as ten nilnutoa out of every twenty-four hours, and this would give him a total of six hun elred words for the day. These me two extremes. 1 am satisfied that tho nor mal man. the man who strikes a dei ent average between Indifferent silence and disgusting verbosity, will talk prob ably one hour, all told, each day. which would allow him twenty-four hundred words. And this, bv the way, Is con slderable talk, for It will till two col limns In a newspaper, nnd a whole lot of wisdom can In- irowd'd into two columns."
