Cid Mrs. McKinley Was Prostrated ana Unable to Take Any Part In Funeral Ceremonies —The Religious Services. An Imposing Escort From Church to Tomb. Canton, 0., Sept. 20. —With majestic solemnity, surrounded by his country men and bis townspeople, in the pres ence of the president of the United States, the cabinet, justices of tho United States supreme court, senators and representatives in congress, the heads of the military and naval estab lishments, the governors of states and a great concourse of people who had known and loved him, all that is mortal of the third president to fall by an assassins bullet was committed to the grave. It WM a spectacle of mournful gran deur. Canton ceased to be a town and swelled to the proportions of a great city. From every city and hamlet in Ohio, from the remote corners of the south, and from the east and west, the human tide flowed into the town until 100,000 people were within its gates, here to pay their last tribute to the fallen chief. The final scenes at the First Methodist church where the fun eral services was held, and at the beau tiful Westlawn cemetery, where the body was consinged to the vault, were simple and impressive. The service at the church consisted of a brief oration, prayers by the min isters of three denominations and sing ing by a quartette. The body was then taken to Westlawn cemetery and placed in a receiving vault, pending the time when it will be finally laid to rest be side the dead children who were burled years ago. The funeral procession was tVStfy imposing and include not only the representatives of army and navy of the United States, but the entire military strength of the state of Ohio and hundreds of civic, fraternal and other organizations. It wus two miles long. One of the most pathetic features of the day was the absence of Mrs. Mc- Kinley from the funeral services at the church and from the cemetery when the body of her husband was laid to rest. Since the first shock of the shoot ing, then of death, and through the or doal of state ceremonies, she had borne up bravely. But there was a limit to human endurance and when yesterday came it found her too weak to pass through the trials of the final cere monies. Through the open door of her room she heard the prayer of the min ister as the body was borne out of the houso. After that, Dr. Rixey remained close by her side and although the full force of the calamity had come upon her it was believed by those about her that there was a providential mercy in her tears, as they gave some relief to the anguish of the heart within. THE CHURCH SERVICES Many Men of Distinction Gather to Hear Last Eulogies. Canton, 0.. S»pt. 20.—1t was 1:20 p. m.yesterday when the funeral proces sion started from the McKinley home to the First Methodist Episcopal church. At either side of the hearse marched the guard of military and naval honor, the generals on the right led by Gen eral Miles and the admirals on the left led by Admiral Farquhar. Then came the long lice of carriages, tor the rela tives and friends and after them the in numerable military and civic organiza tions that had assembled to pay this last honor to the fallen chief. In the line were division after division of Knights Templars. Knights of Pythias, Masons, Odd Fellows and representa tives of beneficial orders, chambers of commerce, as well as delegations of citizens from cities and town through out the state and country. At the church entrance were drawn up deep files of soldiers, with bayonets advanced, keeping a clear area for the advancing casket and the long train of mourners. The hearse halted while President Rooßevelt and members of the cabinet alighted. Again they grouped themselves at either Bide of the entrance, and with uncovered heads awaited the passing of the casket. Then tfte flower covered coffin was brought from the hearse and as it passed within the black draped en trance, the president and his cabinet followed within the edifice, but the stricken widow was not among them. She had remained behind in the old home, alone with her grief. Within the Flower-Laden Church. The scene within the church when the oaaket wus carried in on the brawny smoulders of ihe soldiers and sailors was profoundly impressive. A black border, 20 feet high, relievo:! at [nttrrals by narrow white bands fnll ir.g to the floor, swept completely i.round the interior. But it was the floral display at the front of the church which filled the whole edifice with glory. The center of it all was a great wreath of American Beauties, framing a black bordered portrait of President McKinley. From it, extending outward ind upward, was a perfect wealth ot gorgeous blossoms. It was after 2 o'clock when the quar tette arose and lifted up their voices with the touching words of "Beauti ful Isle of Somewhere" When the sound of the last line had died away, Rev. O. B. Mllllgan, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, in which Presi dent and Mrs. McKinley were married 30 years ago, offered a fervent prayer. Every head within the church bent in solemn reverence as the invocation went up. Dr. John A. Hall, pastor of the Trin ity Lutheran Church, then read from the Bible the beautiful 19th Psalm, and ilev. E. P. Herbruck verses 41 to 58 of the 25th chapter of Corinthians I. With great feeling he read the words. The quartette then sang Cardinal Newman's grand hymn, "Lead, Kindly Light," the beautiful words floating through all the church. Dr. C. E. Man chester then delivered an address, which lasted 24 minutes, on the life of the late President and the lessons taught by his noble character. Bishop I. W. Joyce, of Minneapolis, followed with a brief prayer, and the services were concluded with the sing ing of the hymn which President Mc- Kinley repeated on his deathbed, "Nearer, My God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee." The entire congregation arose and joined in the last stanza. Father Valtman, of Chicago, chaplain of the Twenty-ninth Infantry, pronounced the benediction. Then the notes of the or gan again arose. The coffin was taken up and borne from the church. The relatives and those in official life went out in the order they had entered. MARCH TO THE GRAVE Final Chapter In the World-wide Trag edy Is Closed. Canton, 0., Sept. 20.—N0 greater rev erence has ever been shown to any mt;n. living or dead, than was exhibited toward the dead president in Canton yesterday. As the funeral car passed through the streets men and women sobbed convulsively. Soldiers formed an unbroken line on both sides of the stieet from the house to the cemetery. The march from the house to the grave was impressive in its simpleness. A detachment of mounted police headed the parade. Behind them came the Grand Army band of Canton, the solemn notes of "Nearer My God to Thee," welling out as it came up the drive way. Behind the band came the Grand Army posts, fully 500 of the veterans marching by. As they passed along the flower strewn path many of them were weeping bitterly, and they stooped by dozens to gather the blossoms which lay at their feet, and carried them away as mementoes. Nature has been kind in selecting the last resting place for President McKinley. Westlawn Cemetery is on a high knoll overlooking tlie peaceful valley, with the busy little city of Can ton laid out below. If it were not for an intervening church spire one; might get from this elevation a glimpse of the McKinley home. Here, looking out on his native city and his native state, the body of William McKinley is laid to rest. The beauty of the grounds here attracted the attention of the country's best landscape gardeners, Yesterday it was doubly beautiful, with the rustling trees giving off their tii-st yellowed leaves of fall, and add ing a golden touch to the green-clad slopes. Just inside the stately entrance stands the gray stone vault, whe.e for a time the casket will repose. Its dreary exterior was relieved by great masses of flowers, banked all about and above until the gray walls were shut out from view, but indue time it will be taken trom the vault and com mitted to the little plot of ground lying further on. MRS. McKINLEY GOES DRIVING Dr. Rixey Says She Is Doing As Well As Could Be Expected. Canton, 0., Sept. 23. —Dr. Rixey said last evening that there had been no material change in the condition of Mrs. McKinley and that she is doing as well as could be expected. He said: "She went out for two hours driving today, and still seems to be hold ing her own." The first trip was to the cemetery yesterday morning, and it was at the request of Mrs. Meinley. A much longer drive was taken during the afternoon at the suggestion of the doctor, who feels that his patient is benefited by all the outdoor life she can stand and can be induced to take. There was placed on the McKinley casket yesterday by Judge William R. Day a large floral wreath from the Emperorof Russia. Judge Day received a telegram from Charge d'Aaffires De- Wollant of the Russian emba-sy at Washington, requesting him to have i.25 Per. Year Number 20 this wreath placed on the casket oi the late President. It is oval In shape and 7 feet hy 6. It is composed on one side of American Beauty roses and on the other side by orchids. The hasis of sago palms, the entire wreatn b i ing interspersed with small cc.coi ferns, tied with orchids satin ribbon. The resting place of the late President was visited by thousands of p op o yesterday, probably over 20,000 people entering the gates of Westlawn Cem<> tery between the early hours of the morning and the late hours of the evening. King of Rivermen Dead. Williamsport, Pa., Sept. 23.—James A. Dinehart, veteran riverman of I he- West Branch Valley, and for the past 20 years superintendent of the Susque hanna Boom company, died yesterday morning from paralysis, aged 58 years. In the 30 years he has worked for the Susquehanna Boom company it is esti mated that he has handled a total of four billion feet of logs, a record that uakes him king of rivermen. Cubans Will Rule Themselves By May. Washington, Sept. 23.—General Leonard Wood, military governor if Cuba, left here last night by way Tampa for Havana. Mr. Alex Gonzales accompanied him. The expectation or General Wood is that he will be able to complete arrangements by which the conduct of affairs in the isir.nd can be handed over to the Cubans by May 1 BIiMLO WWW City Getting Over Depressing Effects of President's Fate. EXPOSITION'S SUCCESS IN DOUBT President Milburn Says the Work Was Close to McKinley's Heart—South American's Interest Never Eafore So Intense. Buffalo, N. Y., Sept. 23. —This city Is pulling itself together again after a fortnight of anxiety and sorrow, such as it has never known. What was In tended to be the gala period of its his tory was turned into unspeakable i: iet' which has gone into every home with a force hard for any one not here to realize. Buffalo was full of personal loyalty and enthusiasm for President McKiniey. It has been a center of Mc- Kinley sentiment all through his pub lic career and there was no ctiy in the country where friendship and devotion for him was more marked. Naturally, his tragic end, while its guest, de pressed the city beyond expression. When, in his memorable address the president emphasized the Pan-Ameri can idea and made it part of history, the people of Buffalo realized that their efforts were appreciated. They seemed contented and proud that as individu als of one city they had done the work which might well have been the na tions undertaking. The revulsion was terrible, and now that it is passed the question of what is to come is interest ing. The people seem to feel that the exposition must be carried to a glori ous finish as a labor of p 'otism and of love. President Milburu "lit this thought very strongly. He said: "There must be no faltering in our efforts now, considering how much the success of the Pan-American exposi tion means to the development of closer political and commercial rela tions between the peoples of the west • ern hemisphere. That was a policy earnestly favored by President Mclvi.. ley and which Interested him so deeply In the exposition from its first insep tion. It is a strange stroke of fate th it the success of the exposition should be threatened through the fearful tragedy. We should be lacking in loyalty to his memory if we did not bend all our en ergies to crowning the work which he had so close to his heart. "There are six weeks more of tha life of the exposition, and it is in the full bloom of its beauty and interest. Every feature of it has been developed to its highest point and it is being operated on a mors elaborate scale than ever. It is a complete mass of varied activities and entertainment.!, more than adequately carrying out its aims and purposes. It is a national en terprise and should be supported as such for the credit of our country a:i the leading nation of this hemisphere. That support, I feel certain, it will have in fullest and overflowing meas ure." Referring to President Milburn's statement, Director General Buchanan said that no previous exposition had the countries of South and Central America taken as deep personal inter est in the success of an exposition as they had in this one; that this was Oo pecially true of Chili, which had ex pended upon a building and an exhibit here half a million dollars, and equally so of Cuba whloh for the first time in her history stood independent In a great exposition, within a magnificent building of her own. filled with her natural resources and products.
