RECEIVE 3.000 GUESTS.
Greatest Social Function Erer Held 1
Somerset. A Few of th Gown

More than three thousand people by
actual count shook hands with President

tounty papers that the President and
Mrs. McKinley would be given a public
reception, on Wednesday evening attract
ed not less than l,slii stranger to town,
many of them driving here from their
homes a distance of twenty miles.
At eight o'clock the FYiedeus Comet
Band marched down Main Street and
tisk a position in front of the McKinley
residence, where they discoursed some of
their finest -numbers during the two
hours the reception was iu progress. The

Lowry, 11. M. Linton, and tieo. 15. Scull.
Messrs. Colboru and Ogle introduced the
guests to the President, who stood im
mediately inside the front door of the
spacious parlor. The President gave
each caller a hearty hand shake and a
word of greeting and then introduced
them to Mrs. McKinley. The line was
formed on the street in front of the build
ing and the callers were compelled to
move along at a lively pace, as crowds
are at public receptions held in the White
House. The callers retired through a
rear entrance. A few minutes after 9
it clock the doors were closed to the gen
eral public and the President retired to
the library to enjoy a cigar with a party
of gentlemen frieuds.
Very few residents of Somerset failed
to attend the reception, even to the small
boy, who will cherish, as long as he
lives, the memory of theo.ya.siou when
he was received by the President and
Mrs. McKinley.

Washington, and others.
Secretary of War Alger and Adjutant
General Ruggles arrived ou a special
train at 4 o'clock Friday morning. After
breakfasting with the President, the Sec
retary held a long private interview with
him. General Ruggles came to Somerset
in order that he might personally take
leave of the Commander in Chief of the
armies upon the eve of his retirement,
which took place Saturday, the general
having reached his age limit, i years.
The Secretary and Geueral ltuggles re
turned to Washington the same evening,
where the former was prostrated by the
heat Sunday morning, and Ins since
been confined to his home.
Attorney General McKenna arrived on
the regular train at ":i) o'clock Friday
evening and was met at the station by
his host with a carriage. The President
and the Attorney General held a private
conference that night and another pro
longed one the following morning.
All persons who called at the McKiu
ley residence during the visit of the At
torney General were presented to that
dignified official, who received them with
marked cordiality.
During Geueral Alger's visit a number
of old soldiers called and paid their re
spects to hi in. Great disappointment was
expressed when it was learned that
the Secretary of War would not remain
over Friday night, when the President
received the members of It. P. Cummins
Post, G. A. It.
Tie President and the People.
When President McKinley arrived here
last Tuesday morning be aunouueed that
he came to Somerset to enjoy a quiet rest
at the home of his brother. He said
that he was weary of public functions
aud entertainments gotten up in his honor
at the various places he has visited since
he left Washington seven weeks ago, and
felt that in this quiet country town he
could enjoy absolute rest and freedom
from public functions, as well as a week's
freedom from the importuuities of office
seekers. Tne ofliee seekers did not follow the
President here aud he enjoyed a happy
relief iu that respect at least; but from
the hour he arrived until he left he bad
few hours of freedom from the multitude
of people who were anxious to shake
bis hand and bid him welcome.
The weather was oppressively warm
throughout the President's visit and after
breakfast, which was served at 9 o'clock
etch morning, he took a chair on the
piazzt to enjy a smoke. l.'sually a
crowd of people were waiting for him to
make his appearance and as soon as he
did so they filed up the steps leading rom
the street to the piazz and shook hands
with him. Tue President had a cordial
welcome for ill who called, and only ab
sented biiiiseirfro.u the pia.zi at inter
vals w hen he wanted to hold a conference
with one of his secretaries or to eujoy the
society of the lidie of tha h useh 1 1.
It was mt ditlicult to pick out from the
crowds on the streets the persons who
bad seen the President- The happiness de
rived from their visit to the Chief Execu
tive was manifest in their countenances.
An incident showing the President's
tboughtfulness occurred Saturday morn
ing, when he observed a blind man
standing at the g-te. Leaving the society
of the Attorney-General he walked down
the steps aud took the llticted man by the
band aud spoke a few cheering words.
A caller who was overjoyed at the re
ception Le received was a colored man
who had walked from a point somewhere
near Jones' Mills.
Incidents of the character mentioned
above occurred every few miuutesduring
the day throughout the week the Presi
dent was in town, and the remark: "He
is a second Abraham Lincoln, and just as
common," was on the lips of thousands
who were delighted at the cordiality with
which they had been received, and who
hal been relieved of their native embar
rassment b a kind word from the Presi
dent. The intense heat and dusty roads, to
sty nothing of bis pre occupation with a
constant stream of visitors, prevented the
President front taking more than two or
three short drives iuto the osiutry.
The misery of years has been ciireJ in

SERENADED THE PRESIDENT.
LINCOLN CLUB HONORS THE
CHIEF EXECUTIVE-
Splendid Humc by the Salisbury Band,
Speeches by the President and
Governor Lowndes.
AN OYAT10H FOR MRS. McKINLET.
An interesting feature of the Presi
dent isit was a serenade tendered him
on Thursday evening by the members of
the Lincoln Club. It w ill be reinenilKr
ed that the Lincoln Club organized
an excursion just abul thin lime last
September, when mine two thousand of
the Republican voters of the ooanty vis
ited Canton, and assured Major McKinley
of their loyal support. His address to the
"Frosty Sons of Thunder" on that occa
sion was one of the happiest delivered
6n the famous Canton veranda, and was
published in every Republican news
paper iu the country. Ou tho -tihoflatst
March a delegation of some thirty mem
bers of the Lmcoln Club ntteuded tha in
auguration. The music for the serenade
was furnished by tho Salisbury Cornet
baud, the crack musical organization iu
the county and one of the very best iu
Pennsylvania, who headed the club
at Canton, and who were given an ovation
in that city. The baud arrived here
ou the evening train and after dining at
the Hotel Vannear played several selec
tions on the public square In-fore march
ing to the law olli.-es of F". W. Itiesecker,
iu front of which several hundred mem
bers of the Lincoln Club had assembled.
After the band had played several more
lively airs the members of the Club fell
in Hue and marched to the residence of
Mr. Abuer McKinley. The President
was smoking an after dinner cigar in the
library, w hile the piizzi in front was
crowded with his friends, among them
Governor Lloyd Lowndes of Maryland.
After the baud had played the "Slar
Spai gled Banmr," and "Poet and Peas-
ant," the last named number having been
executed with exceptional artistic abili
ty, James L Pugh, li-"i., acting as spokes
man for the Club, escorted the President
to the platform in front of the veranda.
The appearance of the Chief Executive
was the signal for tumultuous applause
upon the part of the members of the
Ciub aud the three thousand people who
bad !een attracted by the music and who
were anxious to hear the President speak.
After the applause had subsided Mr.
Pugh spoke as follows:
MK. ri'Oli'S INTRODUCTORY BKMARKS.
"ITesident McKinley, this serenade is
tendered you on lietialf of the memliers
of the Lincoln Club, of Somerset oouuty.
I wish to stale iu this presence that the
Lincoln Club is composed of sturdy, un
swerving Republicans, of men who do a
great deal t bard work during every
campaign, ! it national, state or county.
ou will douiitless reuiemoer mat (lur
ing the campaign last tail, when delega
tions were visitin? you at your home iu
Canton, that the Lincoln Ciub was
among those . visiting delegations, and
that under its auspiisis fully one-fourth
ol the voting M)pulalioii of our county,
and one-third of its Republican voters
called there to tender you their sincere
and hearty support. In that campaign
the organization of w hich I have spokeu
did yoeutan servico and it w as largely
through the efforts of its m nlnrs that
old Somerset gave to you, Mr. Pre-.. -lent.
a majority larger by more than l,.f than
hail ever been given to any of your distin
guished predecessors. Anil now, Mr.
t'resment, l wish to iiitr.siu.-e to you me
memliers of the Lincoln Club, w ho de
sire to hear a word from you. (Ap
plause, )
There was another outburst of applause
w hen Mr. Pugh ceased speakiug aud the
President bowed to the immense crowd
before him. The President spoke in bis
usual dignified manner, bis voice reach
ing out so as to le distinctly heard by all
p resen L
THE I'KKsllEXT'S REMARKS.
"Mv Fellow -Citizens I am Nth pleas

enade on the part of the Lincoln Club of

all of you happiness in your lives and
in votir homes, prosperity in the
occupations that may engage you, and I

aud patriotism ahids in the hearts of the

you for your serenade and bid you all
good nignu
"I am sure you will be very glad to
meet, greet and hear from the distin
guished governor of Maryland, Gov.
Lowndes,''
Hon. W. II. Sinner proposed three
cheers for President McKiuley aud they
were given with a will before the Chief
Magistrate relumed to the library and
took a seat before an open window, where
he lit a fresh cigir an 1 listen 3d to th9 ad
dress of Governor Lowndes, and the final
number executed by the band.
Governor Liwudes was hjirtily ap
plauded when be stepped forward. He
was manifestly taken b surprise when
the President introduced him to the
Club for the purpose of making a speech,
but he recovered biunelf in a in tenant
and delivered a very happy live minute
historical address. The Governor spoke
as follows :
M ARYLAND'S OOVKRNOR.
"Mr. President. Ladies and Gentlemen:
I am very glad to tie here to night as
the guest ot your distinguished fellow
citizen, Mr. Abner McKinley, a son of
the lluckeye state. (Cheers.)
This great state or yours would nave
I iefii a greater one if the pretensions of
William I'enii had beencirriod out. bo-
cause if bis claims bail been acknow ledg
ed, Ohio would have belonged to Penn
sylvania and the Keystone suite would
nave uad me uonor ot naming so inau v
presidents of the I'nited States. Hut if
the pretensions of Lrd iSaltiuiore ou be
half of Maryland had liecu sustained,
then Pennsylvania would not have been
so extensive in territory, an 1 Mason and
Iiixon s line would nave 1kii pushed
further north, anil you, my frieuds of
Somerset, would have belonged to that
state, of which I have tho honor to be tho
chief executive.
It was in Pennsylvania the first Con
gress of the I'nited Stales met, and in
177.t it was from Marylaud the delegates
came that nominated Washington as
commander-in-chief of the armies.
When Washington, after eight years of
war. came to lay down that positioti to
Congress be came to Annaolis, the cap
ital of Mar via ml. and that Congress was
presided over by General Milllin, the
tirst Governor of Pennsylvania, a stale
settled by the Uuakers, by the
Menuonites and by tne uuuitaras, people
who were persemtted in Germany and
who came to settle in this graud old
Commonwealth to find freedom free
dom of worship, freedom to accumulate
a plentiful store of this world's go.ds,
which they did front the time they land
ed at Germantown. The (Quaker, Pas-
Lorius. I believe was bis name, a great
teacher, wh knew seven or eight lan
guages, sent ins scholars iroin i.eruian
town throughout the commonwealth of
Pennsylvania. It was the Dunkards and
Menuonites w ho found their destination
out here in Western Pennsylvania. It is
know n that among the Quakers there is
nravertv. am inz the Duukards there
are no drunkards, and among the Men
onites criminal classes are not known.
Thty and their descendants have ever
been reckoned among the best of the citi
zens of this slate. The Scotch-Irish also
have lent their sturdy race u the up
building of this state. They were alto
gether different Irom the Ouakers and
the luukards, and their lighting quali
ties were amongst their uistinguisbitig
characteristics. They have also adorned
the bar ami bench of Pennsylvania.
Your tirst chief justice was a descendant
of that sturdy race and among the many
brilliant legal lights are recKoueu i.iusou
aud Attorney-General Black, who for
many years was a resident of your oouu
ty. (Applause.)
It was related of Judge Black that he
carried his olliee in his bat; that when be
came up into the hills of Somerset he re
fused to ojeii any letters aduresseti to
bin) or receive any correspondence, fear
ing they might contain some command
nei-essitating bis return to Washington to
take charge of some rase. As long as be
was at home among his constituents, the
"frost v sons of thunder." he preferred to
associate with thorn and live with them.

appeared before the Supreme Court, the

speech; I am here to pay my respects to
the President of the I'nited States, a son
of Ohio, a state which has furnished to

all. ( Pmlonged cheering. )
MRS. Ml KlM.rV AI'PKARS.
Before tho G iveruor retired from Ihe
platform a loud shout went up for "Mrs.
McKiuley," aud a moment later the
President appeared umii the veranda
with the lirst lady of the land on his arm.
The distinguished couple was greeted
w ith tumultuous applause, Mrs. McKin
ley waving a small American Hag, w hi. h
she held in bor right baud, to the cheer
ing crowd.
After the cheering hail died away the
band executed another of their choicest
numbers and the crowd dispersed. The
serenade was one of the most successful
demonstrations ever made In the county
and the President afterwards expressed
himself as tieing highly delighted at the
compliment bestowed upon him by the
Lincoln Club. The Presiduut also ex
pressed bis gratification upon learning
that the music was furnished by a Som
erset oouuty organization, and was very
complimentary in his remarks upon the
ability and skill displayed by the band.
A B3Ur;EI FOR MR 5. KeKHfLET.
Lincoln Clab Pays iu Compliment to the
Mistress of the White Eonse.
In recognition of the high regard enter
tained by them for Mrs. McKiuley, the
members of tho Lincoln Club, on Thurs
day afternoon, sent a magnificent bouquet
of teu dozen roses to the wife of the Pres
ident. Attached to the bouquet by a
piece of white ribbon, was a card upon
which the following inscription was
written:- "To Mrs. William McKinley,
the First Lady of the Iand, with Com
pliments from the Lincoln Club, of Som
erset, Pa."
The bouquet was delivered to Mrs. Mc
Kinley by Missis Clara KrebsaudAda
Cover. The Mistress of the White House
expressed her pleasure at lieing remem
bered in such a graceful manner by the
memliers of the Lincoln Club.
Mrs. McKinley' Improved Health.
ne of the pleasing features of the pres
ent trip of President and Mis. McKinley,
of which their stay in Somerset forms a
part, is the remarkable restoration to
health of his invalid wife. She surprises
and delights her relatives and neighbors
by walking without a cane aud unaided
by anyone. This is the more remarkable
1-ecause, since 171, she has not been able
to stand alone or walk across the room
without a cane. For twenly-three years
it was thought she would never again
regain her health enough to walk alone.
The President Makes Call.
Wednesday morning President Mc
Kiuley called upon ex-Congressman
Scull, who is confined to his borne by

President Pardons an Indiana Max
A white haired old gentleman registered
at the Hotel Van near, Tuesday morning,
aud a moment afterwards anxiously in
quired where the President was stopping.
He was directed to Mr. Abner McKinley's
residence, where the President accorded
biin a reception. The sad expression on
the venerable gentleman's face at
tracted attention at the hotel and on the
streets, but the nature ot his mission was
not known until seven o'clock Friday
evening, after the arrival of Attorney
General McKenna, when it was announc
ed that the President had lifted a load
from the old man's shoulders and brought
happiness to his heart by granting an un
conditional pardon to his son, Francis A.
Coffin, who was serving an eight-year
sentence in the penitentiary at Michigan
City, I ml. Collin was convicted of viola

Mr. McKinley' Love For Children.
The Mistress of the White House bad
been iu town los than an hour before she
called a little four-year-old child, who
was passing ou the street, iuto the house,
where she delighted the little oue's heart
by talking to her for a half hour, aud only
dismissed her after she had promised to
return the next day. Hundreds of child
ren were treated in the same way by Mrs.
McKinley during the week. The young
sters, or better, the mothers of the young
stets, evidently knew of Mrs. McKinley's
love for children and flowers, so it bap
ened that nearly every child that called
carried a bouquet to present to her, and
in return many of them received a tiny
Hag with a miniature photograph of the
President attached. Ilundreils of moth
ers carried their babies to call upon Mrs.
McKinley, so that in the future the pres
ent little ones will be able to tell their
great grand children bow they were re
ceived by the beautiful Mistress ol the
White House "wheu McKinley was Pres

VETERANS NIGHT.
R, P. CUMMINS POST'S GREETING
TO COMRADE McKINLEY-
Mr. MeXinley Review the Old Soldiers
Speeehee by the President and
Attorney-General.
Friday evening was veterans night at
the McKiuley residence. At eight
o'clock iu the evening one hundred or
more memliers of R, P. Cum mi us Post,
No. 210, G. A. It, assembled in front of
their post room, w here they fell in line
and, headed by fife and drums, marched
down the street to pay their respe-ta to
the Commander iu Chief of the Armies.
Among the veterans in line were a
number who had traveled s dlstauce of
many miles in order to salute) Comrade
McKinley and bid him a soldier's wel
come to the soil of Somerset county.
When the veterans massed on the pave
ment In front of the bouse, CapL C. J.
Harrison called for "three cheers for
Comrade McKinley," aud they were
given with a yell such as soldiers only
give in honor of superior and respected
officer's. 1
The old soldiers were surrounded by a
crowd of three thousand ladies and gen
ii einen.anxious to witness their greeting to
the President and hear the remarks he
would make to them.
After the cheering. Comrade Harkey
stepped on the platform before the piazza,
ou which the President and Attorney -General
McKeuna and other gentlemen
were sitting, and addressed him in the
following language:
REV. HARKEY'S INTRODUCTORY.
"I have been delegated to greet you
this evening on liehalf of the veterans
here assembled. This gathering to-night
has a peculiar sentiment attached to it
There are not many of us. We lett too
many at Hull Run, and along the Rapidan
and Rappahannock over whose graves the
night gulls chant their solemn requiem,
known aud unknown. We come as rep
resentatives of the plain citizen soldiery,
men who know what loyalty means, for
they were tested iu lire and held and one
of our niiuiiier the venerable Jacob
Heinbaugh Ml years old, who carried
the Hag of battle is with us; we come
simply to pay our respects to one who is
a comrade, who is high iu ollicial posi
tion in the Nation, to whom we pledge
our loyalty, asking that you greet us by
a shake of the hand as one of our com
rades."
The Presideut was visibly affected at
the address of Comrade Harkey, and
hesitated for a period of full two minutes
before ho spoke:
l-OMRAI.E MCKl.M.KY TO THE VETERANS.
"Comrades, nothing can be more grate
ful to me than to receive this honor and
compliment from my old comrades of the
war. I never look iuto the Cu-es of the
old soldiers wbo braved the dangers of
that tune that 1 am not touched deeply,
aud it gives me peculiar pleasure to meet
ar.il greet those gathered here to-night.
I shall be very glad to shake the hand of
each one of yiHt, if it be your pleasure.
I discover that the population of Somer
set is constantly increasing.' ( Laughter
and applause.)
At the conclusion of the President's re
marks the old veterans Iliad up the st'eps
from the side walk to the platform, where
they were introduced to Comrade Mc
Kiuley by Comrade D. J. Horner. The
President gave each of his old comrades
a hearty hand-clasp and a word of frater
nal greeting.
MRS. M 'KIN LEY'S OKEETINM.
Mrs. McKinley occupied a chair before
one of the parlor bay-windows and smil
ed pleasantly at the veteran- as they
passed her, as if in review. A little inci
dent that es raped the attention of nearly
all but the alert newspaper man, was a
remark made by Mrs. McKiuley, who in
her wifely solicitude for the comfort of
her husband, standing bare headed in
the evening air, said, "Put on your hat."
After the handshaking there were re
peated calls for Attorney -General Mc
Kenna. The distinguished Caltfornian
was greeted with a round of applause
when be advanced to the platform.
ATrORNEY-OEN ER VI. MCKENXA'S SPEEfll.
"Fellow-citizens, Ladies and Gontle
inen The- President mils this 'taking a
rest.' He thought, possibly, if be invited
me up here a few days that I could help
him take the rest. I am not usually a
speechmaker, and I have ouly come for
ward to-uight to response to your greet
ing, to acknow ledge it witb thanks. I
have some little feeling for Pennsylvania.
I have had the honor of being born in
your Slate (applause), and naturally I
have a feeling for iu 1 met Gov. Ijow udes
as I came up, aud ha said: 'McKenna,
you will lie expei-ted to make a speech to
night, they caught me last night. I have
got oil all the local gags and I don't
know what is left for you to say. I
talked alsiut Jere Black, and you can
talk about him.' But it seemed to tne
wheu those old comrades came up to
night aud passed by the President, there
was some work left for us and there was
something more to say. There is some
thing peculiarly touching iu the reference
of the gentleman who made the intro
duirtory remarks, w hen he spoke of the
night gulls chanting their requiem over
the graves of the comrades that are
gone. I thought that while it is a splendid
thing to be President of the I'nited
Slates, that, maybe, the President's high
er title was in the fad that he was 'Major1
McKiuley. (Great applause.) I have
often thought, f.silishly, perhaps, that I
would have liked to have been in the war.
We must necessarily all have regretted
the cause of the war, but I would almost
give auytbiug to have the memories that
those gentlemen have, some of whom
tottered up those steps to shake hands
with the Chief Magistrate of this nation,
and whose old comrades died for the
country. They have risked their lives
lor it, have since 1 1 veil for it, are yet liv
ing for it, aud they are an example, it is
to lie hoped, for all the members of this
community, aud if you follow the princi
ples for which they fought, and their un
set ilsh devotion, there will be no fears for
the Republic,"
General W. II. Koontz was called for
and spoke for fifteen minutes. After
three cheers had been given for the Pres
ideut the veterans returned to the post
room aud the crowd dispersed.
Injured ia a Pans way.
Adam Maurer, aed about seventy
yetrs, who lives with his bachelor broth
er Philip, along the Pittsburg A Phila
delphia Pike, between Stoyestown and
Jenners, bad a narrow escape front bein
killed while at work in a Held Monday
afternoon.
He was dr'ving a team of large horses
in a drill, when the neckyoke dropped
off tbe end of the tongue and tho animals
at once became frightened and started to
run off. While Mr. Maurer was endeav
oring to chock them he was thrown under
the drill, which badly lacerated his head
and bruised bis body. He was also
reudered unconscious, and for some time
after the accident occurred it was thought
he would not recover.
Two men were working in a field near
by when the accident occurred and they
ran aud carried the injured man into his
home, after which they had the team
placed iu the barn. :
Officer Frantz of Meyersdale went to
Sand Patch Wednesday to arrest W. C.
Bloom, who was the leader of the gang
that robbed P. Werner, of Greenville
township, of JlSO a few weeks ago.
Bloom, knowing that a warrant bad been
Usued for him, was prepared to resist,
and as soon as Frantz made an attempt to
take him, he ran and commenced to
shoot. Frantz returned the fire, empty
ing his revolver, and three of the shots
took effect in Bloom's back, but did not
stop him.
Frantz then secured a shot gun and he
and a posse of armed men started in
pursuit. Soveral more shots were fired,
but Bloom escaped in tbe thick under
brush. FGYHin
