    PRESIDENT LAID TO REST.
FUNERAL AN IMPOSING PAGEANT.
A Hundred Thousand Citizens Led by Pres
ident Roosevelt Accompany the Re
mains to the Cemetery.
The streets of Canton Thursday
morning were filled with waving
plumes, prancing horses and densely
packed bodies of moving men assem
bling for the procession which wss to
escort the remains of the late Pres
ident from the church to Weetlawn
Cemetery. All night long civic, mili
tary, fraternal, social and commercial
organizations from the four quarters
of tho compass hnd been pourlrg In,
and Into the seething mass of human
ity already there the early trains de
posited thousands. 80 fast the trains
arrived that there appeared to bo one
continuous string of cars unloading
their human freight through the sta
tion Into the congested streets be., ond.
Thirty special trains. In adtlltl in to
the regular trains, had arrived In-fore
noon. The biggest crowd In tho his
tory of Canton, which was there dur
ing the campaign of 189K, estimated at
over 60,000. was exceeded Thursday.
The people overflowed the side
walks and packed the streets from
Bide to side. The grentest critFh, of
course, was In East Tuscarawas, the
principal thoroughfare, and North
Market Btreet. In which the McKlnley
cottage and the Marter residence, at
which President Roosevelt was 1 top
ping, were located. The awe-stricken
crowds, upon their arrival, all moved
as If by a common Impulse toward the
old familiar McKlnley cottage, where
the remains were lying.
The McKlnley Home.
Military guards at the four corners
of the lawn paced their beats, but
there was no other sign of life about
the house of death. The window
shades were down. No badge of con
ventional mourning was on tho door.
Instead there was a simple wreath of
palms bisected by a beautiful band
of wide purple Batln ribbon. Sorrow
fully the throngs turned away, the peo
ple to take up their positions at the
church, the representatives to seek
their places In the Imposing proces
sion which was to follow the remains
to the cemetery.
The two sections of the train bear
ing the Senate and House of Repre
sentatives and other envornmmit nffl.
lals from Washington arrived during
tne forenoon.
President Roosevelt spent a quiet
morifuig at the Harter residence. He
did not go out to the crowded streets
where thousands were gathered hop
ing to catch a glimpse of his face, but
took a walk In the spacious grounds
of the residence. While at break
fast Judgo Day Joined him for half an
hour, and later Secretary Root and
Secretary Hitchcock came In to Bee
him. Many unofficial visitors left
cards of respect, but the President saw
very few people, preferring to remain
in retirement. Among those who
called were a half score of his old
command of the Rough Riders, sever
al of them In their broad-brimmed
sombreros. The President saw them
only for a moment.
A Mass of Moving Humanity.
Toward noon tho crowds In the vi
cinity of tho McKlnley cottage had In
creased to tens of thousands. North
Market street was a mass of humanity
for five squares below the house, and
for three squares beyond. Several reg
iments of soldiers were required to
preserve a semblance of order. With
arms advanced, the men were posted
along the curb and within the walks
for half a mile In either direction. A
platoon of soldiers was thrown across
he gate leading ud to the door of the
Klnley bouse, and only those with
you were permitted to enter the
grounas. Tne vast tnrong was con
tented, however, to gaze at the cur
tained windows and at rare Intervals
to see some member of the family or
an attendant come to the porch out
aide. LAST 8AO RITES.

and arrived at tho church at 1:45.

held within the darkened chamber of
the McKlnley home, Dr. Manchester
saying a prayer while the relatives
gathered around, and Mrs. McKlnley
listened from the half-opened door of
her adjolnlug room.
The exercises In the church were
mnrked by simplicity. They began
with the organ prelude, Beethoven's
Funeral March, played by Miss Flor
ence Douds. As the last notes of tho
prelude were stilled the Euterbean La

Presbyterian Church, of Canton, then
delivered the invocation. The Nine
tieth Psalm was read by Dr. John A.

mad by the Rev. E. P. Horbruck, of
the Trinity Reformed Church of Can
ton. The favorite hymn of President Mc
Klnley, "Lead, Kindly Light," was

two female voices. When this hymn
had been finished. Dr. C. E. Manches

Church, delivered a very touching ad
dress. At the conclusion of Dr. Man
chester' discourse Bishop I. W. Joyce,
of Minneapolis, delivered a short pray

FROM BUFFALO TO CANTON.
Sad Journey of the Funeral Train
Across the Country.
Throughout the week of suffering
and doubt succeeding the attack on
President McKlnley at the Pan-American
Exposition at Buffalo, the pray
ers of the nation were constant, and
sincorlty marked their utterance for
his memory. When the boll tolled at
2:15 o'clock Saturday morning, Sep
tember 14. 1001, announcing that the
spirit of William McKlnley had taken
Its flight chanting the words of the
hymn which had been his compass
and mainstay in lire, "Nearer, My Ood,
to Thee," the tears of sorrow of sev
enty millions of people mingled with
those of the devoted and heroic wo
man whom be had delighted to honor,
and loved beyond all earthly beings.
Loved In life, revered In death, hon
ors have been accorded the nation's
martyr that never before were given
to man, living or dead.
From 8:25 o'clock to 3:30 o'clock on
Thursday afternoon, the exact hour of
the funeral, the nation stood still. All
business Industries, Including .tele
graph lines, traction cars, etc., paus
ed for five minutes.
The funeral services, covering a pe
riod of five days, which took their In
itiative at Buffalo on Sunday, were
continued officially at Washington
Tuesday, and terminated at Canton
Thursday.
Beginning of the End. 1
The opening services at Buffalo on
Sunday, September 15, were simple but
of impressive form, as becomes a great
nation honoring Its departed chief.
Many distinguished In the civil and
military walks of life were present. In
cluding President RooBevelt and the
members of the Cabinet, then in Buf
falo, Secretary Root, Attorney Gener
al Kpnx, Secretaries Long, Hitchcock
and Wilson, and Postmaster General
Smith. The services were conducted
by Rev. Charles Edward Locke.
Mrs. McKlnley, who had been In
poor health, exhibited remarkable for
titude, and passed through the trying
ordeal without breaking down.
The body, enclosed In the casket, lay
in state at City Hall, Buffalo, after
the services, and was under a spe
cial guard of United States soldiers
and Bailors. This guard was con
tinued until the remains finally
roachetl Canton.
A Brave Woman.
At 8:30 o'clock Monday morning the
train bearing the funeral party left
Buffalo en route to Washington. Pres
ident Roosevelt and the members vt
the Cabinet, representatives of the
different branches of the Army and
Navy, Senator Hanna, relatives and
immediate friends of the family were
In the party. At this point Mrs. Mc
Klnley, gave evidence of breaking
down, and grave apprehensions were
xcited over her physical condition.
Dr. Rlxoy, the family physician, was
In constant attendance, but by exer
tion of her will power she succeed
ed In bearing up until Washington was
reached at 9 o'clock Monday morn
ing, when she Immediately repaired
to the White House and secured much
needed rest.
On the arrival at Washington at
9 a. m. Monday the casket was re
moved from the special car to tho
East room of the Executive Mansion.
Leaving 8cene of His Triumphs.
Tuesday morning at 9 a. m. It was
conveyed from the White House, un
der an escort of honor, consisting of
United States soldiers and sailors, the
Grand Army of the Republic, Knights
Templar and various civic bodies, to
the rotunda of the Capitol, where the
official services at the capital of the
nation were conducted after the form
prescribed by tho Methodist Episco
pal Church. Rev. Henry H. Naylor,
presiding elder of the Washington dis
trict, delivered the Invocation, and
Bishop Edward O. Andrews, of Ohio,
delivered a touching address.
Immediately following the services
the public wss admitted, and thou
sands passed through the rotunda tak
ing their last look at the countenance
of their departed ruler.
At 8 p. m. Tuesday tho casket, con
taining the remains of the Illustrious
dead, was removed to the special train
In waiting to start on the long jour
ney across the country to the final
resting place at Canton.
The Journey Begun.
The casket was placed on a raised
dais In an observation car having
glass sides, which was brilliantly il
luminated, and as the train flashed
across the country the people along
the route got a glimpse of the casket
with a soldier. In full dress uniform,
with a musket, standing at a "carry
arms," at the head, and a sailor, In
the neat fatigue garb of the Navy,
with drawn cutlass, at the foot, and
gunrding the mortal remains of their
departed commander In chief.
Mrs. McKlnley arrived at the Wash
ington depot at 8 o'clock Tuesday
evening, a few minutes before the
train started, and exhibited signs of
renewed strength by walking from
the carriage to the car Olympla, which
had been reserved for the use of her
self and Immediate friends. It wa3
8:10 p. m. Tuesday when the train
pulled out from Washington.
A Reverential Populace.
Despite tho lateness of the hour and
the chilliness of the air, all through
that eventful night, all along the route,
at each railroad' crossing, town, vil
lage and city the peoplo were found
standing with uncovered heads In rec
ognition of the many virtues of the
late President. Thus the train sped
on, preceded by a pilot, consisting of
an engine and baggage car, passing
through long lines of citizens, sol
diers, weeping and sympathetic on
lookers. At many points church choirs
and muffled drums toned forth "Near
er, My God, to Thee," the hymn that
President McKlnley hnd Immortalized
In the final scenes attending his de
mise. The funeral train continued Its Jour
ney without making any unnecessa
ry halts from the hour of leaving
Washington, at 8 p. m. Tuesday, un
til It reached Its destination at Can
ton at 11:20 a. m. Wednesday.
At the Home of the President.
At the home of the President emi
nent citizens of the State and dis
tinguished statesmen of the country,
under the leadership of ex-Secretary of
State Judge Day. were In waiting to
receive the funeral cortege.
Mrs. McKlnley had borne tho strain
of the Journey well, and was imme
diately conducted to tire historic res
idence on North Market street, where
she was surrounded by home friends
and relatives, who aided in caring for
her physical wants.
The casket, containing all that was
mortal of the President, was removed
to the Stark County Court House,
where It lay in state, permitting the
townsmen who had known and asso
ciated with the President during his
home-comings to take their final fare
well of their friend and neighbor.
Preparing for the Services.
In the early evening Mrs. McKln
ley requested that the remains be re
moved to the residence and remain
there until their final removal to the
church on the morrow for the last
services. The request was complied
with, and, under the escort of tho
Canton Post of the Grand Army of
the Republic, the remains were re
moved to the North Market street res.
Idence and there remained until noon
Thursday, guarded by the members of
the Ohio National Guard.
The face of the dead President was
seen for the last time when It lay In
state Wednesday in tho court house
The casket was not opened after it
was removed to the McKlnley reBl
dence, and the members of the fatn
tly had no opportunity to look upon
the silent features. The casket was
sealed before It was borne away from
the court house. It had been the
hope of mnny of the old friends of tho
family at Canton that the face would
be exposed while the services in the
church were being held, but the Bug'
gestlon could not be agreed to.
The Casket Sealed.
When Mrs. McKlnley came Into the
death chamber Wednesday night for
her last moments beside her dead hus
band, she wished to have a final look
upon the upturned face, but this was
impossible, and the sealed casket with
Its flowers and flags were all that she
saw.
The collection of flowers was prob
ably the most beautiful ever seen in
the United States. The conservato
ries of the country had been denuded
to supply them. By the direction of
the monarchs of Europe, the South
American rulers, the Governors of the
British colonies in Australia and Can
ada, the Emperor of Japan, from the
four quarters of the earth In fact,
came directions to adorn the bier of
McKlnley with flowers whose fra
grance might be symbolical of the
sweetness and purity of the ended lite.
But these tributes from foreign coun
tiles were buried beneath the floral
tributes from McKlnley a country'
men.
TRIBUTE BY HIS PASTOR.
8ermon Preached at the Funeral of
President McKlnley. 1
The funeral sermon of the Rev. Dr.
C. E. Manchester over the remains
of the late President was as follows:
"Our President Is dead.
"We can hardly believe It. We had
hoped and prayed and It seemed that
our hopes were to be realized and our
prayers answered, when the emotion
of Joy was turned to one of grave ap
prehension. Still we waited, for wc
said: 'It may be that God will be gra
cious and merciful to us.' It seemed
to us that It must be His will to spare
the life of one so well beloved and so
much needed. Thus, alternating be
tween hope and fear, the weary hours
passed on. Then came the tidings of
defeated science, and of the failure of
love and prayer to hold Its object to
the earth. We seemed to hear tho
faintly muttered words: 'Good by, all.
Good by. It Is God s way. His will
be done, and then, Nearer, My Ood,
to Thee." So. nestling nearer to his
God he passed out Into unconscious
ness, skirted the dark shores of the
sea of death for a time and then
passed on to be at rest. His great
heart had ceased to beat.
"Our hearts are heavy with sorrow.
A voice Is heard on earth of kins
folk weeping,
The loss of one they love;
But he has gone where the redeemed
are keeping
A festival above."
Friend of the People.
The cause of this universal mourn
ing Is to be found in the man him
self. The Inspired penman's picture
of Jonatlinn, likening him unto the
beauty of Israel, could not bo more
appropriately employed than chanting
the lnment over our fallen clileftnln.
It does no violence to human speech,
nor Is It fulsome enlogy to speak thus
of him, for who that has seen his
stately bearing, his grace and manli
ness of demeanor, his kindliness of
aspect, but gives assent to this de
scription of him? It was characteris
tic of our beloved President that men
met him only to love him. They
might Indeed differ from him. 'but In
the presence of such dignity of char
acter aul grace of manner none could
fail to love the man.
'The people confided In him, be
lieved in him. It was said of Lin
coln that probably no man since the
days of Washington was ever so
deeply embedded and enshrined In the
hearts of the people .but It is true or
McKlnley In a larger sense. Industri
al and social conditions are such that
he was even more than his prede
cessors, the friend of the whole peo
ple.
"It is a glorious thing to be able
to say in this presence, with our illus
trious dend before us, that he never
betrayed the confidence of his coun
trymen. Not for personal gain or pre
eminence would ho mar tho beauty
of the soul. He kept It clear and
white before God and man. and his
hands were unsullied by bribes. Ho
was sincere, plain and .honest, just,
benevolent and kind. Ho never disap
pointed those who believed In him, but
measured up to every duty and met
every responsibility in life grandly and
unflinchingly.
Brave, Honest and Gallant.
"Not only was our President brave,
heroic and honest, ho was as gallant
a knight as ever rode the Hats for his
lady love in the days when knighthood
was In flower. It Is but a few weeks
since tho nation looked on with tear-
dimmed eyes as It saw with what ten
der conjugal devotion he sat at the
bedside of his beloved wife, when all
feared that a fatal illness was upon
her. No public clamor that he might
show himself to the populace, no de
mand of social function was sufficient
to draw tho lover from the bedside
of his wife. He watched and waited
while we all prayed and she lived.
This sweet and tender story the world
all knows, and the world knows that
his whole life had run In this one
groove of love. It was a strong arm
that she leaned upon, and it never
failed her. Her smile was more to
him than the plaudits of the multi
tude, and for her greeting his ac
knowledgements of them must wait.
"After receiving the fatal wound
his first thought was that the terri
ble news might be broken to her gen
tly. May God In this deep hour of sor
row comfort her. May His grace be
greater than her anguish. May the
widow's God be her God.
"Another beauty in the character of
our President that was a chaplet of
grace about his neck was that he was
a Christian. In the broadest, no
blest sense of the word, that was true.
His confidence In God was Btrong and
unwavering. It held him steady In
many a storm where others were
driven before the wind and tossed.
His faith in the Gospel and Christ
were deep and abiding. He had no
patience with any other theme of pul
pit discourse. He believed it to be
the supreme duty of the Christian mln
Inter to preach the Word. He said:
'We do not look for great business
men in the pulpit, but for great
preachers."
Still a Conqueror.
"It was perfectly consistent with tho
life-long conviction, and his personal
experiences that he should Buy at the
first critical moment after the assas
sination approached: 'Thy kingdom
come; Thy will be done,' and that ho
should declare at the last, 'It is God's
way; His will be done.' He lived
grandly; it was fitting that he should
die grandly. And now that the maj
esty of death has touched and called
him, we find that in his supreme mo
ment be was still a conqueror.
"When we consider the magnitude
of the crime that Has plunged the
country and the world into unutter
able grief, we are not surprised that
one nationality after another has has
tened to repudiate the dreadful act.
This gentle spirit, who bated no one,
to whom every man was a brother,
was suddenly smitten by the cruel
hand of an assassin, and that, too,
while in the very act of extending a
kind and generous greeting to one who
approached him under the sacred
guise of friendship.
"Could the assailant have realized
how awful was the deed he was about
to perform, how utterly heartless the
deed, metbinkt he would have staved
hit hand at the very threshold of It
In all the coming years men will seek
in vain to fathom the enormity of that
crime.
"Had this man who fell been a des
pot, a tyrant, an oppressor, an insane
frenzy to rid the world of him might
have sought excuse, but It was the
people's friend who fell when Will
iam McKlnley received the fatal
wound. Himself a son of toll, his sym
pathies were with the toller. No one
who has seen the matchless grace and
perfect ease with which he greeted
such can ever doubt thnt. his heart
was In his open hand. Every heart
throb was for his countrymen.
Work Well Done.
"That his life should bo sacrificed
at such a time, Just when there was
abundant peace, when nil the Ameri
cas were rejoicing together, Is one of
the Inscrutable mysteries of Provi
dence. Like many others, It must be
left for future revelations to explain.
"In the midst of our sorrow we
have much to console us. He lived to
see bis nation greater than ever be
fore. All sectional lines are blotted
out. There Is no south, no north, no
east, no west. Washington saw the
beginning of our national life. Lincoln
passed through the night of our his
tory and saw the dawn. McKlnley be
held the splendor of his country at Its
noon. Truly, he died In the fullness
of fame. The work assigned him had
been well done. The nation was at
peace. We had fairly entered upon
an era of unparalleled prosperity. Our
revenues were generous. Our stand
ing among the nations was secure.
Our President was safely enshrined
In the affections of a united people.
It was not at him the fatal shot was
fired; but at the very life of the gov
ernment. His offering was vicarious.
It was blood poured upon tho altar
of human liberty. In view of these
things we are not surprised to hear,
from one who was present when this
great soul psssed away, that he never
before saw a death so peaceful, or a
dying mnn so crowned with grandeur.
"We hoped with him that when his
work was done, freed from the bur
dens of his great office, crowned with
the affections of a happy people, ho
might be permitted to close his earthly
life In tho home he had loved Ho
was. Indeed, returned to us. but bow?
Borne to the strains of 'Nearer, My
God, to Thee,' and placed where be
first began life s struggle, that the peo
ple might look and weep over so sad
a home-coming.
"But It was a triumphal march. How
vast the procession. The nation rose
and stood with uncovered head. The
pooplc of the land are chief mourn
ers. The nations of the earth weep
with them. But, oh, what a victory.
I do not ask you In the heat of public
address, but In the calm moments of
mature reflection, what other man ever
hnd such high honors bestowed upon
him, and by so many people? Wliat
pageant has equalled this that we look
upon to-day? We gave him to the na
tion a little more than four years ago.
He went out with the light of the
morning upon his brow, but with his
task set, and tiro purpoue to complete
It. We take him back a mighty con
queror." NEWSY GLEANINGS.
