In passing tothe place the president took his hat of and amiled pleasantly to a group inewspaper men and to the guards tho had been stationed in the place. The interior of the building had ben arranged for the purpose. From the main entrance, which opens to the southeast from the temple into the wide esplanade where the thous- ids had gathered, an aisle had ben made through the rows of seats the building to near the center. The aisle was about 8 feet wide and fumed near the center to the south- ¥est door of the temple, so that there Yasa passage dividing the south Btartof the structure into a right angle.

It corrects inability to hold water and scalding pain in passing it, or bad effects following use of liquor, wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being compelled to go often during the day, and to get up many times during the night.

Immediately following this man was the assassin. He was rather a tall, boyish-looking fellow, apparent- ly old, of German- American extraction. His smooth, rather pointed face would not. indi- and years cate his purpose to slay the nation’s executive. The secret service men noted that about his right hand was wrapped a handkerchief, and, as he carried the hand uplifted, as though supported by a sling under his coat, the officers believed that his hand was injured, and especially as he extended his left hand across the right,so as to shake hands with the president. that the who was in front of the assassin, held It was noticed [talian, back, apparently toshield the young mi it for Ireland to shove him on. 1, So that was hecessary The organist had now reached the climax to the wild strains of the Son- ata.

He swerved a moment, reeled and was caught in the arms of Secretary Cortelyou, to his right. Catching himself for the briefest second. President McKinley, whose face was now the whiteness. of death. looked at the assassin as the officers bore him to the floor and said feebly and with the most benevolent look it is possible to imagine: “May God forgive him.” The president was carried first one way, then a step in another direc- tion. The excitement was so sudden, the pandemoneum so intense that for a minute noone knew what to do.
