Mann, pastor of United church, read Psalm 60, and the cholr sang “Lead, Kindly Light." Rev. Edwin H. Jenks, pastor of the First Presbyterian church, offered prayer. A part of his prayer follows: Almighty God, Thou art our refuge and our atrength, our help i ble. We come 1o Thee us others have in the past, ‘when sorrows shut out the light of the sun, We come king for a rift in e clouds that we 1may see the sun full splendor.

Geperal Crook intro- duced me to Captain McKinley. He was a fine looking young man, who gAvg, prom- fse of the great career which was in store for him." y Mayor Moores read letters of regret from General C. ¥. Manderson, Hon. E. Rose water, Senator J. F. Millard, Judge W, W. Keysor and F. W. Kellogg, who were out of the clty and were unable to accept In- vitations to address the meeting. Rev. John Albert Williams, pastor of the Church of St. Philip the Deagon, was more enthusiastically received, perhaps, than any of the other speakers of the afternoon. Mayor Moores introduced him as the rep- resentative of the colored race, the race which furnished a hero who risked his life in his efforts to protect I'resident McKin- ley from the assassin’s bullets. A storm of upplause greeted’ Rev. Wil- llams a8 he advanced to the front of the stage. When Lincola was mentioned as the president who made It possible for the speaker to address an audience gathered to 10 honor to the dead president the colored man was given an ovation. After Rev. Willlams had finished his address the cheering was so prolonged that he was compelled to rise and acknowledge it before the chalrman cpuld introduce another speaker, Major R. S§. Wilcox was umable to re- spond to the invitatlon to address the meet. Ing on behalf of the Grand Army of the Republie. Mrs. John W. Eyans took his place on the program and recited a poem she had written entitled “G. A. R. Tribute.” Below Is one stanza of her poe For while along life's dangerous path Bo many Years he trod, n all his busy, worldly life He ne'er forgot his God. The speakers of the afternoon repre- sented ~ all creeds and ‘political parties. | Clergymen, lawyers and business men paid tribute (o the lamenteq presldent. Rev. | M. P. Dowling of Crelghton college spoke for the Catholics of (he city. Rabbi A. Simon of Temple Israel spoke for the Jew- 1sh people. W. J. Connell was associated with Major McKinley 4n cougress and paid tribute to him as a friend. General John €. Cowin was In the same regiment with the lamented president during the civil war and spoke of him as a comrade. | Henry W. Yates and G. M. Hitchcock are | prominent democrats who had a place on the program. James E, Boyd and J. M.| Woolworth were also invited to speak, but were unable to mccept. Hubert C. Herring of the First Cangregational church, Rev. E. F. Trefz of the Kountze Memorial English Lutheran church, Bishop Coad- jutor Williams and Rev. Johp Albert Wil- HNams of the Episcopal church reprosented warlous rellglous organizations. George F. Bidwell discussed the life of the president from the standpoint of & business man. Rev. A. C. Hirst of the Fir church was invited to speak, but was called from the city to attend a confer- ence at Neligh, Before the addresses were complet cholr sang “Come, Ye Disconsoiate. the conclusion of the speaking the great audience arose and was led by the cholr in singing “Nearer, My God, to Thee." The audience was dismissed with a benediction by Dean Campbell Fair of Trinity ca- thedral, Symposium of Seatiment. A synopsis of the various speeches fol- lows: Bishop Coadjutor Willlams—That terrible crime in Buffalo September § changed the man of a day to a man of histotry. Thar dastardly shot transformed a respected, honored citizen and soldier into an object of deep reverentin\ regard. He was changed from the leader of a great party to tho chief ruler of the nation, who stood before the world as the image of liberty and law. Rev. M P. Dowling—At this hour the heart of the nation stands still. We are overwhelmed by the terrible crime ageinst God and man, We have been rudely avak- ened from our dream of urity to find lawleseness rampant in the land, W , except i I nobly at Buffalo, student, soldler, states- Methodist | ry le weather has brought scores or warmer undergarments, Our mands, chet finish vests, and ankle length pants long sleeves and ankle length pants to long sleeves, cream, only $2.00, $2.50 and weight, double sole and heel, 25c per palr. good quality, double sole and heel, 25c pair, «ole, 35¢, or 3 palr for $1.00.

Nothing can be sald which every citizen does not ‘feel. 1 came to say nothing new, but to express my indignation at such an outbreak of lawlessness. This meeting is & protest against the spirit that prompted this crime, a denunciation of anarchy. (Ap-| plause.) Standing in the gloom of this sorrow it behooves us to lay aside care less thought and speech that we may plan to wipe out anarchy, What fs it that makes the anarchist? Is a question we must an- swer. When we answer this question rightly we will be able to supply a remedy and Insure the enduranco of the republic. George F. Bidwell—At times the Almighty calls upon us as Individuals and as a na- tion to halt. Why are we halting today? My message s to the young men of the country. I direct their thought to the character of Willlam McKinley. The trou- ble with young men Is that they belleve men in bigh position arrive there by favors. Willlam McKinley’s character is a denial of this fallacy. McKinley's strength came from his life of honesty and integrity. It lay in his Christian character. Mr. Connell's Tribute. W. J. Gonnell—At this time two men are contrasted. One fs all kindness, purity and justice. The other is the embodiment of hatred, jealousy and ignorance. The name of one of these men Is lovingly spoken by every American. The namo of the other no American can spell or pronounce. We can- not understand why such a monster struck down our president. All we can hope for while the remains of Willlam McKinley are being lald to rest Is that the indignation of the present upheaval shall be crystallized into laws that will do away with anarchy. | Tn looking for the causes of this assassina- tion it must be remembered that the yellow journal, a8 well as the inflammatery speeches of anarchists, this murder, (Applause.) More than ten years ¢go I first met William McKinley. People who knew him loved him. Duty gulded his lite. He was loyal to his coun- try and his home. His death was in har- mony with hie life. While he drifted sea- ward he chanted the words of that beauti- ful bymn, “Nearer, My God, to Thee," which Is being sung today, accompanied by tho tears of miillons qf, mourners. Rev. E. F. Trefa—It was no arbitrary fate which accomplished the tragedy at Buffalo. President McKinley was tho.dncarnation of that -against which lawlesspess directs its blows. - He stood for law, order and duty. Againat him were. license. and the insanity which works chaos, The spirit of the tiger and the cobra directed.the shots which brought the prestdent low. We mourn and execrate the assassin. Such a being must be an alien in hell. Behind him are the incendlary utterances of men and women Who know not the value of thelr words. I am willing to release my claim upon free- dom of speech If such restriction will do away with anarchistic utterances. I plead for & higher spirit of American manhood. Triumph of His Life. General John C, Cowin—~I am here for the sole purpose of paying tribute to the dead president. He was my friend and comrade. T loved him. He was & man of peace and a man of war, It the people so willed. His nssassination was the product of anarchy and calumny. Anarchy cannot:be crushed by tatred. When William McKinléy adked that his assassih be Bbared he aid’more to crush anarchy than cap be accomplished by countless threats. William ‘McKinley's fath that the master was always with him was sublime. Call no man happy till you know the circumstances of his death, ‘Mc- Kinley's death was the triumph of his great career. John N. Baldwin—The shot that killed McKiwley was the wickedest crime of tho century. Born humbly at Niles, he died man, Bravely he worked his way up- ward, Never falteripg, his life and char- acter ascended to their greatne#s until he disappeared among the peaks.of glory. His ife is an incentive. He strove to under- stand conditions. He studled events and thelr causes and consequences. He w not a reformer or agitator. Such are never shot. (Applause). The sweetest, noblest, kindes€ of men, a man whp was supposed to have no enemies, a man who did more than any other man to relieve the condi- tions of labor, was killed by a man who calls himself a laborer. Murder, foul and causeless! This awful crime will reveal the cure for conditions that make such murder possible. Not the freedom . of speech and the press, but the license of press and speech must be suppressed. (Ap- plause). We must reach the teachers of anarchy or it will be down on us like night. The assassin's bullet sounded the signal. The public will act. He s gone, | but over us shines that diadem o martyred | presidents which will shine on and on through eternity. | No Epitaph Can Tel Rabbi A. Simen—We umite i a meeting which intones a memorial, sounds a moni- | tlon aud wings a message. Our martyred president cast a halo about home. He | brought a hlessing upon husband's love and wife's devotion. All men and women is responsible for | are Letter in”the' thought of him. (Ap- plause). No epitaph can measure the standord of his manhood. His lite 1s his memorial. We bow our heads and thank | God for the blessing He gave us in: this man's lite. While we think of the dead Wwe must renlize our duty to the present. This augel of death must be a harbinger of sounder patriotiem. His death s a prophiecy of greater powsibilities in Ame lea. We must consecrate ourselves to his Ideals. Henry W. Yat It has been sald that his assasiation 15 a matter of ghame. 1 do not think so. His dq the freedom of our government. His ass! sination was a blow at the stronghold of liberty Our institutions will live in spite of the vipers that exist, We will rally from the shock and show the world that [democracy can exist and that our president dares to move about with ‘reeddm. Judge W. H. Munger—With a clear, di; were merely the demand of the hour. The greatest riches are those of character and fis was 4 mine of wealth: No chardcter in history i« moré worthy of emulation than | William McKinley's. Unites the Feople, G. M. Hitcheock—The human heart has been touched by this calamity. The Amer- ican people have been united as they never were united before. Today we stafld at the bier of the martyr, bearing testimony to the fact that Willlam McKinley was a brave and hovored man and in his death a soldier of the Christian religion. From now on I prophesy that in our political struggles thare will be less of acerbity than in the past. This calamity will teach us to recognize worth of character regardless of political views Rev. Hubert C. Herring—In the addresses of the afternoon there is a sentiment strange to Amerleans. There is a note of the futility of effort to advance liberty. We are reaping the harvest of Huropean anarchy. We are resting under an odious tyranny which thwarts the will of the ma- fority. We pause and wonder if our chief executive must surround himself with a cordon of armed men. We will find a way of freeing ourselves from this teranny. Brotherhood of man will surmount these temporary dangers and prove that love can banish lawlessness Eulogizes Rev. John Albert Willlams—On Septem- ber 6 a ropresentative of my race, a race which has never produced an anarchist or a traltor, threw himself betwéen President McKinley and the assassin who sought his life, (Applause). The heroic effort of James B. Parker spared President McKin- ley to the republic for nine days and gave the nation the wise council of his dying hours and the deathbed scene which will be an inspiration to all future generations. I bear tribute to McKinley the man and McKinley the president. Tho three mar- tyred presidents bore peculia® relations to my race. President Lincoln released us from bondage and made It possible far me to stand before you today. (Aprtwuse.) James A. Garfield entered upon his admin- tstration at a time when the wounds of the war were yet unhealed and did much to bring about a reconciliation of the two sec- tions of the United States and to educate the people who had been freed from slav- ery. President McKinley did much to do away with the fnjustices of today. VARIOUS CHURCHES, ker. IN THE Pastors and Congregntions Join in Memorinl Service, Memorial services for the president began early yesterday morning.

At noon every wholesale house in Omaha was clogsed and the employers and employes Jolued in the general observance of sorrow for the dead president. It was the Intention of the managers of these houses to have closed their places of business during the entire day, but this was found impossible, as there were hun- dreds of persons who had come to the city to visit the wholesale district and order goods this week. Many arrived only yes- terday, and having spent the first day in viewing the parades and other carnival sights, found it impossible to remain in the city longer than another day. It was an- nounced to them Wednesday that the houses would be closed all day yesterday and at that time many of them requested the dealers to keep the houses open in the morning, as the visitors could not stay in the city longer and could not afford to make another trip to the city this fall. As many persons as possible were placed at work in the morning and the houses were filled with people until the hour of noon, Men who have been in business In this city for a score of years say that never before have they seen such crowds as were in the wholesale district this morning. Based upon the number of people in the houses and the orders being recelved, the dealers say that the present week of the carnival will show sales four times as heavy as they were last year, while more people were in the houses one day this week than visited them during the entire week last year.

Not a bugle blast went up; not a strain of the hymns the dead ruler had loved so well. The scene was majestic in its silence. As the cus- ket was borne along above the line of heads it was seen enfolded in stars and stripes and on top greal masses of white roses and delicate lavender orchids. Ten- derly the coffin was committed to the hearso and the silence was broken as the order to march passed from officer to officer. The great procession now took up its mournful journey, passing under the sweap of glant arches robed in black, between two living tides of humanity massed along the streets, covering house tops and filling the window The church bells still were tolling, min- gling their dismal tones with the cadence of the funeral dirge. Preceeding the fun- eral car and forming the first division rode General Torrance, national commander from Grand Army of the Republic, with a long line of grizzled veterans. After them moved the National guard of the state of Ohlo, platoon after platoon, under com- mand of General Charles A. Dick. Then came the solemn funeral cortege, the pres- ident's favorite command, Troop A, riding ahead. At the head of each of the cpal black horses drawing the hearse marched a soldier. The heads of the horses bore tall black plumes and over them was thrown long palls of black. Army nnd Navy on Guard. At either side of the hearse marched the guard of military and naval honor, the generals on the right led by General Miles and the admirals on the left led by Admiral Farquahar. Then came the long line of carriages for the relatives and friende and after them the innumerable military and clvic organizations that had assembled to pay this last homor to the fallen chief. In the line were division after division ot Knights Templars, Knights of Pythias, Masons, 0dd Fellows and representatives of beneficial orders, Chamber of Commerce, as | well as delegations of citizens from cities and towns throughout the country and state, ! It was 1:50 o'clock when the procession | passed the court house and turned into| Tuscarawas street to the stately stone edi- fice whore the funeral services were to beq held. At the church entrance was drawn up deep files of soldiers, with bayonets ad- vanced, keeping a clear area for the ad- vancing casket and the long train of mourners, The hearse halted while President Roose- velt and members of the cabinet alighted. Again they grouped themselves at either side of the entrance and with uncovered heads ewaited the passing of the casket. Then the flower-covered coffin was brought from the hoarse and as it passed within the black draped etitrance the president and his cabinet followed within the edifice. The mourners passed inside, but the stricken widow was not among them. She had re- mained behigd fn the old home, alone with her_griet. SERVICES* Ninetieth nounced and Favorite Hymns Sang =Decorations Arve FI "IN THE CHURCH horate. CANTON, 0., Sept. 19.—The scene within the church when the casket was carried in on the stalwart shoulders of the sailor: and soldiers was profoundly impressiv, A black border twenty feet higher, re- lleved at intervals by narrow white bands falling to the floor, swept entirely around the room. The gilt organ pipes only arose above it. The vestibules on either side of the chancel leading into the church were black tunnels, the stained glass on either side were framed in black and the balcony of the Sunday school room to the rear, thrown open to the church by large sliding doors, wax shrouded with the same somber colot Graceful black streamers were festooned around the groined arches of the nave, forming u black canopy over the chancel. From this, directly above the low flag-covered catafalque on which the cas- ket was to rest, hung a beautiful silk ban- ner, its blood-red and snow-white folds tied midway with a band of crepe. Some of the Figures, But it was the floral display at the front of the church which filled the whole edi- fice with glory. The center of it all was # great wreath of American beauties, fram- ing a black-bordered portrait of Presl- dent McKinley. From it, extending out- ward and upward, was a perfect wealth of Korgeous blossoms. The effect was as if a great rushing wave of color had broken into flowers at the foot of the bier. They ex- tended even up to the organ pipes, against which were four wreaths representing the four quarters of the moon. It was ex- quisite. Purple and green were the dom- inant notes. There were many handsome pleces. Against the walls on either side were floral pieces and upon the pulpit rested an urn in white carnations, broken at the base to represent the water flowing from It. At either side of this urn was the cross of the Knights Templar and the crown of the Knights of Pythias, while to the east was the square and compass of Masonry. Almost directly above the support for the coffin a sunburst of lights glittered like stars in a black sky. The light from without came dimly through the stalned- glass windows. ket in Place. Under the folds of the starry banner, the fragrance of the flowers hovering all about and the music of Beethoven's grand funeral march pulsing from the organ, the body- bearers gently lowered the flag-draped casket into its place. The members of the cabinet, Governor Nash, Governor McMillin of Tennessee, Governor Longino of Missis- sippl, each with his full uniformed staft, had already entered the church from the west entrance and had filled up the most westerly of the sections of pews. The members of the senate and of the house of representatives had preceded the coffin through the door to the chancel, which it entered. They were ushered in by the ser- geant-at-arms of each body. Senators Alllson of lowa and Bate of Tennessee headed the senatorial repre- sentation, of which there were about forty, and Speaker Henderson and Representative Dalzell that of the house, of which more than balf the membership must have been present. The congressional party filled up the entire eastern and rear pews All had risen as the coffin was borne in. ‘The generals and admirals of the army and navy who comprised the guard of honer In their resplendent uniforms followed the b [ u body and oceupied the first pew on elther side of the center aisle President A President Roosevelt and the cabinet came slowly after.

Mr. and Mrs. Abner McKinley led the way, followed by the other immediate relstives, Senator and Mrs. Fairbanks, Comptroller and Mrs Dawes, Colonel and Mrs. Myron T. Herrick of Cleveland and a few other close personal friends, The fourth pew from the front, that always occupled by President McKin. ley, was draped in black and remalned vacant. Townsmen Admitted, After these had been seated the door leading iuto the Sunday school was opened and the seats arranged below with those on the galleries were soon filled with rep resentatives of various organizations and the fellow townsmen of the martyred presi- dent. Conspicuous among these were the survivors of the Twenty-third Ohio, Presi- dent McKinley's old regiment, who brought into the church the tattered battleflag the regiment had carried throughout the civil war. Tt was 2:30 when the quartet arose and lifted up their volees with the touching words of “Beautiful Isle of Somewhere." When the sound of the last line had died away Rev. O. B. Milligan, pastor of the First Presbyterian church, in which Presi- dent McKinley and Mrs. McKinley were married thirty years ago, offered a fervent prayer. Every head In the church bent in solemn reverence as the invocation went up. His prayer was as follows Rev. Milligan's Prayer.
