. The President's Identity.
What a Presidont curries in his
pockets is much like what any
other citizen does. The Presi
dent's clothes which were remov
ed at the Exposition Hospital
have been sent to the Mi burn
residence, where the pockets were
emptied. In the right-hand
trousers pocket was some cur
rency, $1.80 in all. With these
coins was a small silver nugget,
well worn as if the President had
carried it for a long time. Three
small penknives, pearl handled,
were in the pockets of his trous
ers. Evidently they were gifts
that he prized, and was in the
habit of carrying all three of
them. They were simple knives,
with no silver ornamentations, in
scriptions, initials or other visi
ble personal history. Another !
battered coin, presumably a
pocket piece, was in the left-hand
pocket.
The President's wallet is a well
worn black leather one, about 4
by 5 inches in size. It was not
marked with his name or other
identification. In this wallet were
some bills, amounting to $45. A
number of cards, which evidently
had rested in the wallet for some
time, were in one of the compart
ments. These were examined.
In a vest pocket was a silver lead
pencil. Three cigars were found.
They were not the black Perfec-
tos which the President likes,but
a short, size, and were recognized
as some that had been given to
him at Niagara Falls.
On two of them he had chewed,
much as General Grant used a
cigar; the other he had not touch
ed. The President's watch was
an open-faced, gold case, Ameri
can made timekeeper. Attached
to it was the gold chain the Pres
ident always wore. No letters,
telegrams, or papers were found.
There was not on the President's
person a single clew to his iden
tity. A Sight of Terror.
"Awful anxiety was felt for the

than once saved her life, and cur

Repeated by the Dying President, Has
Interesting History.
The hymn "Nearer, My God, to
Thee," which was ' sung in all
American churches last Thurs
day, and which Mr. McKinley re
peated just before his death, has
an interesting history.
Perhaps no hymn, since the
publication of Perronet's "All
Hail the Power of Jesus' Name,"
in 1785, has received so wide and
deserving a popularity. It finds
a place in all collections of hymns
in the English tongue, and is a
favorite alike in Trinitarian and
Unitarian churches. It has boon
translated into many languages,
and has followed the triumphs of
the Gospel in heathen lands.
It is the best metrical express-
ion of the desire for a more inti
mate spiritual acquaintance with I
God, andtthe riches of his grace,
that we have in modern psalmody, i
It is a fresh and touching expres-!
sion of the same yearning aspir-I
ation toward God that we prize in
Cowper's "Oh for a closer walk
with God," which it succeeded in
popular favor. It expresses a will- j
ingness to know God through the j
discipline of affliction. j
Its imagery embraces the as- i
sociations of one of the most sub-1
lime and interesting religious ex- her last breath burst into uncon
periences recorded in the early i scious song."
Hebrew Scriptures, Jacob's vis
ion at Luz. "And he lighted up
on a certain place," says the
scripture of Jacob's wanderings,
"and tarried there all night, be-
cause the sun was set; and he took
of the stones of that place and put i
them for his pillow, and lay down j
in that place to sleep. And he i
dreamed, and behold a ladder set !
up on the earth, and the top of it
reached to heaven; and behold the i
angels of God ascending and de
scending on it." I
j The hymn almost literally re- j
j produces this delightful passage: '
j Though like a wanderer, I
The sun gone down. '
Darkness be over me,
My rest a fttoue,
' Vet in my dreams I'd be
Nearer, my God, to thee, j
Nearer to Thee. i

awakening of Jacob on the morn- J
ing after the vision is as vividly !
brought to mind in the figures in
the foutth stanza:
Then with my waking thoughts
Bright with thy praise;
Out of my stony grief
Bethel I'll raise:
So by my woes to be
Nearer, my God, to Thee.
Nearer to Thee.
Mrs. Sarah Flower Adams, au
thor of the hymn, was a daughter
of Benjamin Flower, an English !
writer and editor. She was born ;
; ion- tt u
ii. j- j I t !
There were two daughters, Sarah
and Eliza. The strongest attach
ment existed between them. Both
possessed the fine feelings of
their mother, and were fond of
books, music, poetry and art.
Their aesthetic tastes ruled
even in childhood, and girlhood to
them was a growing season of as-1
piration and expectancy. Eliza
turned her attention to music and
musical composition; and her sis
ter to religious poetry. They
were Unitarian in their church
relations, but their piety was gau
ged by devotional feelings and
high religious attainments, rather
than by denominational require
ments or sectarian views.
"Eliza Flower," says a critic,
"attained a higher rank in music
composition than before her time
had been reached by any of her
sex." Sarah Flower made the
composition of poetry her occupa
tion, while her sister pursued her
musical studies. In 1834 she
married William Bridges Adams,
an eminent engineer and a con
tributor to the best periodical lit
erature. In 1841 she published a dram
atic poem in five acts, entitled
"Vivia Perpetua," in which she
portrays the religious life, suffer
ings, strong faith and endurance
of the early martyrs.
The hymn, "Nearer, My God,
to Thee, " was a record of her own
religious experience, and was
written as memorial of answered
prayer, probably without any ex
pectation that it would be of pub
lic service. It was furnished
with thirteen other hyms to Char
les Fox's collectionjof "Hymns and
Anthems," published in London
in 1841.
The cares of married life in no
wise abated her early attachmot
to her equally gifted sister. Re-
garding "Vivia Perpetuu" us the
fruit of their joint aspirations and
studies, she dedictates it to hor
sister in lines in which occur the
following tender sentiment:
In Thy content I wish s wrenth more
bright
Than earth's wide garden ever could
upply;
Ah, mo! I think mo still how poor a
strain,
And fly for refuse to Thy love again.
Her sister's health, beginning
to deelino, and evidence of pulmo
nary consumption appearing,
Mrs. Adams devoted herself to
the invalid's room with unceasing
watchfulness and self -forgetful
care
Eliza Flower died in 1817.
Mrs. Adams never recovered
from the shock of the separation.
Her religious aspirations, always
strong, seemed now to receive a
heavenly impulse. Her health
gradually declined, and in 1K49,
two years after her sister's death
she too peacefully fell asleer
In her hymn sho gives expres
sion to the following jubilant ex
pectation: Or, if on joyful winjr,
Cleaving the sky,
Sun, moon and stur.s forjrot,
Upward I fly.
Still, all my song shall be,
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer to Th.io.
This hope seems to have been
almost literally fulfilled in her
death. We are told that "almost
The following hymn, by Mrs.
Adams, seems to have been writ
ten in the same spirit as "Nearer,
My God, to thec. " It was sung
at her funeral:
Ha sendeth sun. He sendeth showers,
Alike they're needful to the flowers:
And joys and tears alike ure sent
To give tho soul lit nourishment;
As comes to me or cloud or sun.
Father, Thy will, not mine, be done.
Oh, never will I at life repine,
Enough that Thou bust made it mine;
Where falls the shadow cold, in death
I yet will sing with fearless breath,
As comes to me or shade or sun,
Father, Thy will, not mine, be done.
The last stanza seems proj:l)
etic, when we recall the song of
praise that trembled on her dy
ing lips.

The McKinley Estate.
The value of the estate of the
late president, inclusive of every -
thing he owned and the inst ranee
i policy upon his life, is believed to
be about $400,000.
When Mr. McKinley was elect
ed for the first time he had just
lost practically every cent he,,
possessed by indorsing notes for
I Ohio friends. He was a generous
j man, caring little for moaey. He
! stepped into tho Whito liou so fi
nancially wrecked, not merely
having lost all his money, but
heavily iu debt and with notes
against him.
His friends, prominent among
whom were Mark Hanna and If.
II. Kohlsaat, went to his rescue.
j They took up his paper and put
him on his feet.
the president was frugal and
lived plainly at the White House.
He saved a good part of his salary
of nearly $1,000 a week, and do
voted it to repayingjthe friends
who had come to him in the hour
of need. Eventually he paid back
every penny advanced on his be
half, a sum total of about $100,000.
One of Mr. McKinley's closest
personal friends suid today that
the Canton house was worth $H.',
000 and tho farm $30,000, and
that, with securities and cush of
$100,000andinsuranceof$ 300,000,
the estate would bo worth a time
more than $200,000.
Tho late president left a will,
the bulk of the estate going to the
widow.

digger. He says : "My brother
was very low with malarial fever
and jaundice. I persuaded him
to try Electric Bitters, and he
was soon much better, but con
tinued their use until he was
wholly cured. I am sure Eloctric
Bitters saved his life." This
remedy expels malaria, kills dis

aids digestion, regulates liver,

eases, kidney troubles, female
complaints; gives perfect health.

GOOD ROADS AND BAD.
Dnrni of Road Inquiry Moving In
Right Dlreptloa.
The recent automobile race from
Taris to Berlin attracted international
attention because of the keen Interest
Which Is Just now taken In the nie
chnulenl vehicle, says the Washington
Star. While Europeans were chiefly
concerned In the performance of tho
distinctive types of machines, Ameri
cans could not avoid the thought that
such a race Is virtually Impossible In
this country under conditions promis
ing any tyiir tent of quality. There are
no such roads here as those which In
Europe permit Intercity autoinoblllng
and wheeling.
. Our highways, save for short dis
tances outsldo the larger cities, are dis
gracefully rough and unkept. Much
has been done In the past few. years to
awaken the people to a Bense of this
condition, and the movement bns becu
greatly accelerated by the wide popu
larity which the bicycle and the auto
mobile have gained. It Is to bo hoped
that the race will bo stimulate the pride
of the American steam and electric ma
chine owners that a dozen yenrs hence
it will be possible to organize a 1,000
tullo race out of any one of a score of
scattered cities under Ideal road con
ditions. It Is a noteworthy fact that until very
recently nothing has been done In this
country to collect nnd study road sta
tistics. The good roads division of the
department of agriculture, which has
been doing excellent work for several
seasons, has lately undertaken to
remedy this defect and Is now engaged
In gathering data as to the character
and number of vehicles which use cer
tain roads.
It Is hoped that In this manner It may
be possible to demonstrate by figures
the extent to which the highways are
used by various classes. ' This will per
mit the study on an accurate basis of
the wearing qualities of different road
materials under varying conditions.
The Institution of this Inquiry leads to
the hope that by thus systematically
approaching the BUbJect the govern
ment's bureau may eventually arouse
the Interest of state legislatures to the
point of the enactment or uniform
highway laws. It Is only by concerted
action In this manner and by the adop
tion of even standards of excellence In
all the states thnt roads will be pro
duced which will compare favorably
with those of Europe.

Bencfl That Oood nooiln Mar Bring

In welcoming the MlHslkislppI good
roads convention to Vlcksburg, Mayor
Trowbridge said In part:
"The proposition of good roads is a
self evident proposition, and is one that
Is being tangbt, and we know how ex
pensively taught, by past experience. I
Bhnll not attempt to enter Into the ques
tion of how to acquire them, for there
are gentlemen on this floor who hare
uinde a thorough study of thnt ques
tion, aud we shall look to them for In
struction and Information on this sub
ject We can only promise them that
tbelr Information shall not be lost, but
being guided by the experience of the
more advanced brethren of the western
states, we shall endeavor to have our
legislature frame such laws that will
conduce to good roads.
"It does not require the foresight of
a prophet to tell that the question of
good roads Is one that will engage the
politics of the counties of the state, and
be even of national Importance, for
that question which affects the wel
fare, the comfort, the happiness, the
prosperity of Its people Is one worthy
of engaging the attention of members
of the national congress.
"I beg pardon of the members of this
convention for a digression, but there
is a matter very closely allied to the
question of good roads and one of such
Importance that I cannot refrain from
touching on the subject, and that Is one
of scientific farming and the formation
of a farmers' alliance throughout the
southern states. Again, can we take
advantage of the experience of our
western brethren in the formation of
these helpful societies or clubs that
have done so much for tbelr advance
ment nnd prosperity)
"With the good roads end prosperity
on the farm that will surely come from
the formation of farmers' Institutes
will so surely come the pride of the
farmer In his farm, his house, bis barn,
his stock, his surroundings. It will
then be no unusual sight to witness the
visit of our country friends to our
churches on Sunday. Then will the
young beau harness up that young
horse that he has taken so much pride
In raising and, going after his best
girl, will drive her on a visit to some
neighbor or, perchance, to a ball or
theater In the city, returning homo at a
rattling pace over the good roads."
