BUFFALO MOURNED J Simple, Impressive Services Held Over Body of Martyred Ruler PATHETIC IN THE EXTREME Mrs. McKinley Bore Up Bravely Under the Ordeal. PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT PRESENT Tears Fell Unrestrainedly When "Nearer, My God, to Thee," Was Sung—Senator Hanna's Last Look at the Face of His Dead Friend and Companion—Eighty Thousand Peo ple Saw the Body In the City Hall. Buffalo, Sept. 10.— Buffalo yesterday became a city of mourners. The gay and llaming decorations of the Pan- American exposition gave way to the symbol of sorrow. The black drapery of the city's streets muffled the tolling bells of the churches. Bits of crepe appeared on every sleeve. The sorrow was everywhere apparent. In th€ morning a simple service took place at the residence on Delaware avenue where the martyred president died. A hymn was sung and prayer was offered over the dead body. That was all. Only the immediate family and the frientls and political assistants of the late President were present. The scene there was pathetic in the extreme. Then the body was borne out to the waiting cortege on the brawny should ers of eight sailors and soldiers of the republic. The cortege passed through solid walls of living humanity, bare headed and grief stricken, to the city hall, where the hotly lay instate yes terday afternoon. There a remarkable demonstration occurred which proved how close the President was to the hearts of the people. Arrangements had been made to allow the public to view the body from the time it ar jgfved, at about 1.30 o'ef .-k until about f> o'clock. But the people were wedged into the streets for blocks. Two lines were formed. They extended literally for miles. When 5 o'clock came 40,000 people had already passed and the crowds waiting below in the streets seemed undiminished. It was decided to extend the time until midnight. For hours longer the streets were dense with people and a constant stream flowed up the steps of the broad en trance into the hall and passed the bier. When the doors were closed at midnight it was estimated that 80,000 people had viewed the remains, but thousands of disappointed ones were still in the streets. This morning at 8.30 o'clock the funeral train started for Washington. Mrs. McKinley, the President, the cab inet and relatives and friends of the dead President accompanied the re mains. It was just eight minutes before the opening of the service when a covered barouche drove up to the house, bring ing President Roosevelt and Mr. and Mrs. Wilcox, at whose home he is a guest. The President looked very grave as he alighted and turned to as sist Mr. and Mrs. Wilcox from the car riage. His face tlid not relax into a smile to the salutations of those near est the carriage, but he acknowledged the greetings silently and with an in clination of the head. Dead Chieftain On His Bier. In the drawing room to the right of the hall as President Roosevelt e>ti tered, the dead chieftain was stretched upon his bier. His head was to the rising sun. On his face was written the story of the Christian forbearance with which he had met his martyrdom, Only the thinness of his face bore mute testimony to the patient suf fering he had endured. He was dressed as always was in life. The black frock coat was buttoned across the breast where the first bullet of the as sassin had struck. The black string tie below the standing collar showed the little triangle of white shirt front. The right hand lay at his side. The left was across his body. He looked as millions of his countrymen have seen him, save for one tiling. The little badge of the Loyal Legion, the only i decoration he ever which was always , In the left lapel of his coat was iniss j ing. And those who remarked it spoke of it.and after the body was taken j to the city hall the little badge which he prized through life was placed again where it hail always been. The body lay in a black casket on a black bear skin rug. Over the lower limbs was flung the starry banner he lovetl so well. The flowers were few as/befitted the simple nature of the man. A spray of white crysanthe mums, a flaming bunch of blood red American beauty roses antl a magnifi cent bunch of violets were on the casket. That was all. Behind the "head against a mirror oetweeu tv»w ! curtained windows rested two superb ! wreaths of white agtora and roses. Mrs. McKinley Bore Ordeal Sravely. The family had taken leave of their lovetl one before the others arrived. Mrs. McKinley, the poor grief crushed widow, had been led into the chamb: r by her physician, Dr. Rixoy, and had eat awhile alone with him who had supported and comforted her through all their years of wedded life. But though her support was gone site had not broken down. Dry eyed, she gazed upon him and fondled his face. She did not seem to realize that he was dead. Then she was led away by Dr. Kixey and took up her position at the head of the stairs where she coul.i hear the service. Mrs. Hobart, the widow of the vice president during Mr. McKinley's first term, Mrs. Lafay ette McVv'illiams, of Chicago, Miss Barber, Miss Mary Darber and Dr. Uixey remained with her there. Senator Hanna, who had fairly wor shipped his d 'ad friend for years, en tered the room at tiiis time but did not approach the casket. His face was set like an iron willed man who would not let down the barriers of hi i grief. The senator spoke to no one. His eyes were vacant. He passed through the throng and seated himself behind Governor Odell, sinking far down into his chair and resting his head upon his hand. During all the service that followed he did not stir. Just before il President Roosevelt entered, coming into the room from the rear through the library. After passing into the hail he had made his way around through the sitting room behind into the library. There was an instantaneous movement in the room as the President appeared. Every one rose anti all eyes were turned toward the President. He moved forward again with the title of the procession to his place at the head of the line of cabinet officers. He held himself erect, his left hand carrying his silk bat. Those who were coming toward him fell back on either side to let him pass. He paused once or twice to shake nanus silenuy, but there was no smile to accompany his greetings. He, too, like the man deep down in his seat against the wall, who had forgotten to rise when the President of the United States entered, seemed to be restraining a great grief. When President Roosevelt reached the head of the line of cabinet officers he kept his face away from the casket. The infantryman guarding the dead stood before hiiu rigid as a statue. Al though the commander-in-chief 'ap proached until he could have touched him, the soldier did not salute. Roosevelt Looks Upon the Dead Face. Tite President appeared to be steel ing himself for a look into the face of him whose death had made him the first ruler of the world. The ten sion in the room was great. Every one seemed to be waiting. The.minis ter of the gospel btood with the Holy Book in his hand ready to begin. Per haps it might have been GO seconds. It seemed longer. Then the Presi dent turned anil at. the same time ad vanced a step. He bowed his head antl looked upon the man whose bur den and responsibility he ha 1 taken up. Long he gazed, standing immova ble save for a twitching of the muscles of the chin as he iabore.i with heavy breath tor press his emotion. At last he stopped back. Charles Edward Locke, of the Dela ware Avenue M. E. Church, con ducted the services. Out from the hall there welled the li autifnl words of "Lead. Kindly Light. ' sung by a quar tette. it was President Mi Kinley's favorite hymn. Every one within the sound of the music kn.'w it and half of those in the room put their faces into their hands to hide th ir tears. Comptroller Dawes leaned ag.iinst a bookcase and wept. President Roose velt seemed to be swaying to and fro as if his footing were Insecure. When the singing ended the clergy man read irotn the word o:' the 15th chapter of Corinthians I. Agiin the voices rose with the words of "Nearer, My God, to Thee," the very words President McKinley ha i repeated at intervals of consciousness during the day of agony before he died. As the music died away the pasto ■ spoke again. "Lot us pray," he s:i I, antl every head fell upon its breast. All present joined in the Lord's Prayer as the minister repeated it. President Roosevelt's voice being audi ble at the back of the room. The serv ices concluded with a simpio benedic tion. The funeral director was about to step forward to place the cover on the casket, when suddenly there was a movement behind Gove nor Odell. Sen ator Hanna, who had risen, saw that the last opportunity to look into the countenance of his dead friend had come. Pressing forward, in an instant he was at the side of the caskef an,! bending over antl looking down into it. Almost two minutes passed, and then he turned away antl the coffin was closed. ucath flas.-s ot McKinley's Face.
