Deeply ia- terested in the church from its Inception, he gave unstintedly of his means, his time and his thought, and to him in very large mensure is to be attributed its success. “The church suffered a severe loss in onr friend's removal, and especially will this be felt by the members’ of this board, in that we shall more have the benefit of his wise counsel and pened Judgment. “Ag a testimonial of our regard a copy of these minutes shall be furnished to two of our daily Papers and a copy be transmitted to his family, and the beard will in a body attend his funeral.” It NALD Fi WASHINGTO? , December 13, 1897.

One reason was that they declined to give an account of themselves. For a few days they chose to ignore the President's message and Congress as some- thing beneath the notice of loyal Spaniards. But the resentment of the intransigentes deep to be entirely smothered. With outhful volunteers it blazes out at times and disappears. With the older ones it burns steadily. Viewed in the abstract, consistency of hatred toward the G States has the quality of steadiness that provokes admiration. While their sen- timent shows itself, the ultra-Spantarcs do not undertake to answer the questions as to what constitutes a reasonable time or the near future.

It is not uni- versal because the Boston capitalists, whose plantations are around Clenfuegos, still find the country pacified and the péople not starving.

Yet it must be recorded that this feeling ists. The majorily of Americans agree with the minority of Spaniards and the majority of Cubans that the time necessary to demonstrate that Cuba is pacified and autonomy established cannot be stretched so as to avoid the intervention of the Unit- ed] States.

M’KINLEY DEAD Aged Mother of the President Passed Away Yesterday Morning. FUNERAL ‘TAKES PLACE TUESDAY Interment Will Be in West Lawn Cemetery at Canton. SERVICES ATTHE M.E.CHURCH Mrs. Nancy Allison McKinley, mother of President McKinley, died at her home in Canton, Ohio, at 2:30 o’clock Sunday morn- irg. Funeral services over the remains will be held in the First M. E. Church of Can- ton at 1 o’clock Tuesday afternoon. Inter- ment will follow in West Lawn cemetery, just west of the city, and Tuesday evening President McKinley and wife and officials will leave for the capital, reaching there about noon Wednesd: Rev. Dr. Manchester, the pastor of the church, has announced that it is his desire and that he will extend an invitation to have the ministers of all the churches, of which there are about thirty, occupy the pulpit and participate in the services. Pallbearers. Pallbearers have been selected from among the older members of the church and those who for years have been close neighbors of the deceased. They are: Judge William R. Day, William A. Lynch, Former Mayor R. A. Cassidy, L. L. Miller, W. W. Clark, Jucge T. J. McCarty, Davis Zollars, Former Mayor John F. Blake. The First M. E. Church, in which the services are to be held, is the one in which Mrs. McKinley worshiped during her resi- derce in Canton, and in which she was fo.nd almost every Sunday morning, only us indisposition cr important circum- nees keeping her away. Three w 2£0 she was in her pew as usual, thouxn she nearly eighty- nine years of age. is is also the con- ion with which the President has always been s in this ehure superintendent of the Surday ago, and here when in Can- = mother. ng his sum- ident is a member of the board of trustees of the church. The Bell Was Tolled. At daylight yesterday morning, at the suggestion of some of the older members of the congregation, an old-time custom now almost obsolete was revived out of re- spect to the deceased. The bell in the tower slowly tolled off the years of her age. It is a coincidence that Mrs. McKinley passed away at almost the identical hour of the day her husband died, Thanksgiving five years ago. President McKinley _re- mained up until about 3:30 o'clock, a little More than an hour after the death, and then retired for a few hours’ sleep. During the forencon he and his brother spent the greater part of an hour walking about the more secluded streets near home, securing much-needed exercise and air. The Pres- ident was greatly refreshed by the exercise from the trying ordeal of the past days, during which, except when ‘he went to Washington to attend to official dutles, he kept an almost ccnstant vigil at the bed- side of his mother. In the afternoon the President and Abner McKinley drove to beautiful West Lawn cemetery, about a mile west of the home, to attend personally to arrangements for the interment, which will be made in the family lot. Her Life. Nancy Allison McKinley came of a family which was transplanted from England to the hills of Virginia. The Allison family subsequently removed to Greene county, Pa., where Abner Allison, Nancy's father, Was botn, and where he married Ann Campbell, of Scotch-German descent. Early in the present century Mr. and Mrs. Alli- son came from Pennsylvania to Colum- biana county, this state, traveling by pack horses. In 1809, near the present city of Lisbon, Nancy Allison was born. Her girl- hood was paesed on the farm, and in 1827 she married William McKinley, a young iron manufacturer. The couple lived first at Fairfield and afterward at Niles and Poland before removing to Canton. Nine children were born to them. They were David Allison, deceased; Anna, deceased; James, deceased; Mary, deceased; Helen Minerva, now living. at Canton; Sarah Elizabeth, now the wife of Mr. A.’ J. Dun- can of Cleveland; William, the Presiden’ Abigall Cecil, deceased, and Abner, whose home is in New York. GOING TO THE FUNERAL. Members of the Cabinet Who Will Leave for Canton. The White House will be closed to all visitors tomorrow, the day of Mrs. Mc- Kinley’s funeral. Just what effect the death of the Presi- dent's mother will have upon the social events in official circles for the remainder of the winter it is impossible to say, che matter being held in abeyance until the President's return. it is held that the New Year reception to the public will have to be done away with, and it is said to be almost certain that there will be no function of any kind at the White House until some time after the Ist of January. All the members of the cabinet whose efficial duties will permit their leaving Washington at this time, will start for Canton this evening at 7:10 o'clock to at- tend the funeral. The party will include Secretaries Alger, Bliss and Wilson, and Postmaster General Gary, Attorney Gen- eral McKenna and Secretary Sherman, if the latter is feeling well enough to make the trip. Secretaries Long and Gage are detained in Washington by pressing de- partmental duties. Vice President Hobart. will also remain here, his presence being necessary as the presiding officer of the Senate. The ladies of the party will be Mrs. Mc- Kenna, Mrs. Gary, Mrs. Alger and Mrs. Porter. The zrrangerrents for the journey are be- ing made by Mr. Porter, secretary to the President, and he will be one of the party. The party will have two private cars at their disposal. They will leave Washing- ton over the Pennsylvania railroad, reach- ing Canton about 10 o’clock tomorrow morning. After an informal luncheon and a brief rest, the party will attend tho funeral services and return by the evening train for Washington. The President's car will probably be added to the train and he will return at once to the White House. The President on his return ‘will devote bimself to disposing of the large amount of routine business which has accumulated in his absence, and will receive no callers for the remainder of the week. ————_ + 2+ _____.

Judge Cox today signed derrees divorcing Mary Rose Tucker from George H. Tucker and Sadie E. Long from Frank H. Long. In her petition filed August last Mrs. Tucker stated that she was married to the defendant at St. Dominic's Church, Octo- ber 16, 1879. They lived together until Christmas day, 1896, she explained, when her husband, in a fit of rage, left her, since which time her mother has. cared for her four children and herself. Judge Cox reserved his decision in regard to alimony. The custady of the children was awarded to the mother. In the Long case desertion was the ground on which the divorce was granted. The couple were married December 31, 1892, and Mrs. Long charged that her husband, Saou cause, deserted her August 18, > From Washington to Baltimore. From the Baltimore Sun. The Laurel Leader calls attention to the importance of a good wagon road between Baltimore and Washington. It is incredi- ble that the construction of such a high- way should have been omitted all these years. The railroads in no wise do away with the necessity for such a road. ‘The raflroads have built up a series of villages between the two cities, which in time will constitute a continuous settlement stretch- ing from the suburbs of one city to those ot tne other. This growth would be great- ly promoted by a good highway, along which the villagers could take pleasure drives, ride their bicycles and maintain so- cial relations. A fine road between ave- nues of trees would speedily become al- most a street stretching from city to city. It would be a favorite road for vicyclers from the cities. Wayside inns for their entertainment would grow up, real es- tate would improve in value and the coun- ties in which the road would lie woul] get a revenue from taxpayers which would be a tremendous return for the outlay re- quired to build the road. The country Presents no engineering difficulties to be overcome, and we believe there are gravel beds along the route which wouli afford an excellent material for construction, It might be well for the state itself, au- thorized if necessary by an act of assem- bly this winter, to undertake this work with the inmates of the house of sorrestion. In that Institution there are hundreds of men in absolute idleness and having their health impaired by lack of proper open-air exercise. The prison is on the line of the road and there would be no difficulty in reaching the greater part of the work on foot, returning each night to the house. The farther ends of the road could be reached by the cars, for which a small ap- propriation might be necessary. If the gangs put to this work were made up of those convicts whoge terms were nearing completion, there would be 1:0 temptation to them to escape and no harshness 1eces- sary to detain them, and if ene should es- cape the state would be well iid of a ras- cal. According to this plan it would be unnecessary to come to any agreement with county commissioners or charge th2 counties for the labor expended. The labor unutilized In the prison ig worse than use- less to the state and it might as well be employed for the benefit of these coun- ties. And in benefiting these counties the entire state would be, benefited in almost equal degree. EE Christmas Trees for a Great City. From the Century. In a hundred places all over the city, when Christmas comes, as many open-air fairs spring suddenly into life.

An army train of wagons Is eng, carting them away from early morning tijl late at night; but the green forest grows, in spite of it all, until in places it shuts the shipping out of sight altogether. “The air is redolent with the smell of balsam and pine. After nightfall, when the lights are burning in the busy market, and the homeward-bound crowds with baskets and heavy burdens of Christmas greens jostle each other with good-natured banter—nobody is ever cross down here in the holiday season—it is good to take a stroll through the Farm, if one has a spot in his heart faithful yet to the hills and the woods in spite of the latter- day city. But it is when the moonlight is upon the water and the dark phantom forest, when the heavy breathing of some passing steamer is the only sound that breaks the stillness of the night, and the watchman smokes his lonely pipe.on the bulwark, that the Farm has a mood and an atmosphere all its own, full of poetry, which some day a ‘8 brush will catch and hold. “ais ——--e- — —_—_ It matters ttle what {t.is —whether ‘a situation or “want” ad. in The Star Person who can fill your.

A number of recommendations and resolu- tions have been sent from the organizations represented in the membership for consid- eration at this meeting. One resolution from the Chester Business Men's Associa- tion demands the free coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1. The New York board of trade and transportation urges the adop- tion by the United States of the best finan- cial system possible, and the belie is ex- pressed that this may be accomplished on the lines adopted by the Indianapolis mon- etry convention. Congress is requested bya resolution adopted by the national board of trade to so amend the national banking laws as to permit national banks to issue currency to the full amount ot bonds deposited to secure circulation. Other recommendations are as follows: The enactment of the Torrey bankruptcy Lill; the creation of a new government de- partment to be known as the Department of Commerce and Manufactures; in favor of 1 cent letter postage for each half ounce and the establishing in Washington of the permanent home of the national board of trade. ———— EXHIBITION OPENED.
