To the people of Washington the late President McKinley .was more than an officlal—he was theif kindly guardian— and they rendered their tributes of re- spect with their whole hearts. The peo- pie in accordance with President Roose- Velt’s proglamation repaired to their churches to attend the memorial services, and rarely have.the places of worship been so crowded. All denominations— Protestant, Cathelic and Jew—united In these. | _The Metropolitan M. E. Church, where Mr. McKinley worshiped, was the center of interest, and here the services were more impressive than elsewhere. The President's seat was draped in black and left vacant. It was originally set apart for President Grant and has ever since borne the inscription, “Our President. The crowd could not be accommodated in the main body of the church, and a sec- ond service progressed in the lecture hall. Bishop Waring and Dr. Crawford spoke in each place. The services were presided over by Rev. Dr. Naylor, assisted by Dr. Hugh Johnson of Baltimore, the former astor of the church, and Rev. George B. each. The hymns were the favorites of the late President. A tribute was read by Bishop Cranston. One significant ut- terance by Dr. Crawford was that the President's words when Czolgosz was as- saulted would do more for law and order than anything that had been said for a generation. The services at the Episcopal FPro- Cathedral also were elaborate and impres- sive. They were personally conducted by Bishop Satterlee, assisted by Rev. Dr. Devries, rector of St. Mark’s, and Chap- lain Pierce of the One Hundred and Fif- teenth Infantry, U. S. A. The bishop’s address was poetical and brief. He felt called, he sald, to sound a note of warning against the unshielded and unprotected osition in which the American people eave their chief magistrate and to re- proach them, rather than the “ignorant, plotting anarchists, for the third tragedy in_the nation’s history.” Justice Brewer of the United States Su- preme Court delivered the principal ad- dress at the First Congregational Church. His keynote was the need of impressing upon all Americans the necessity of a personal respect for the law. He depre- cated the general suggestions that the people take the law into their own hands and put every anarchist speedily to death. ‘While anarchy may bethe extreme of law- lessness, he said, every breaking of the law breathes, though in a slighter degree, the same spirit of lawlessness. It was the duty of the citizens to show by their own conduct and example that soclal order was the culmination of human happiness. At _All Souls Unitarian Church Carroll D. Wright, Commissioner of Labor, was the principal speaker, though Secretary Long, when called, responded with a few brief remarks, eloquept with praise for the memory of the dead President. Wright's address was reminiscent of per- sonal memories of the late Presldent, and he drew interesting parallels between his career and those of Lincoln and Garfleld. Rev. John Paxton was the speaker of the day at the New York-avenue Presby- terian Church, his' theme being “It Is God’'s Way.” "“‘This is not an indignation meeting,” said Dr. Paxton, “‘but a funeral service, not to curse assassins and advo- cate lawlessness in exterminating lawless- ness.” General H. V. Boynton read the Presi- dent’s proclamation and he recalled the words of Garfield on hearing of Lincoln’s assassination: “God reigns, and the Gov- ernment at Washington stili lives.” The services at the Catholic churches were elaborate and touching, as they were at the Grace Reformed *Chapel, where President Roosevelt worshiped when a resident of Washington. POSSIBLE CLEW TO ACCOMPLICES Detectives May Trace Them Througk Hangdkerchief Used to Conceal the Revolver. CHICAGO Sept. 19.—Locked up in a heavy barred vault in Captain Porter's private office in the quarters occupied by the United States Secret Service Bureau, according to Detective Gallaher, is the handkerchief in which Anarchist Czol- gosz concealed his weapon when firing the shots that killed President McKinley. The tragic relic was brought to Chicago from Buffalo by Detective Gallaher, who is attached to the Chicago branch of the secret service. It will be taken later on to the trial of the assassin at Buffalo, to be used as evidence before the jory which tries him. A study of the plece of cloth has led to the startling discovery that it is a woman’s handkerchief. It is an ordi- nary fabric of white cotton, such as can be purchased at any Chicago store for 5 cents. Just why the Chicago secret service of- ficer has retained the handkerchief when all the other articles in_evidence have been surrendered to the Buffalo police is a mystery which Captain Porter and De- tective Gallaher refuse to explain. The handkerchief is not only an important plece of evidence, but may also serve as a clew to the identity of the assassin’s ac- complices. Masons Hold Services. NEW YORK, Sept. 19.—Members of the Masonic fraternity of this city and their families filled Masonic Temple to over- flowing to-night at a memorial service. In every city, town and village and ham- let in Long Island and New Jersey the day was appropriately observed. After dark this evening the streets of New York City were practically deserted.

FUNERAL SERVICES AT CANTON. Continued From Page Three. But he has gone where the redeemed are keeping A ‘festival above. ° The mourners throng the ways and from the steeple The funeral bells toll slow; But on the golden streets the holy people Are passing to and fro, And saying as they meet, ‘Rejoice, Another long waited for is come.’ The Savior heart is glad, a younger rother i Has reached the father’s home." The cause of this universal mourning is to The inspired likening him unto the ‘‘Beauty of Israel,”” could not be more appropriately employed than in chanting the lament of our fallen chieftain. It does no violence to human speech, nor is it fulsome eulogy 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 description of him. It was characteristic of our beloved President that men met him only to love him. They might indeed differ ~with him, but in the presence of such dignity of character and grace of manner, none could fail to love the man. The people confided in him, believed In him. It was said of Lincoln that probably no man since the days of Washington was ever £0 deeply Imbedded and enshrined in the hearts of the people, but it is true of McKinley in & larger sense. Industrial and soclal conditio are such that he was, even more than predecessors, the friend of the whole people. Touching Scene in Church. A touching scene was enacted In this church last Sunday night. The services had °closed. The worshipets were gone to their homes. Only a few lipgered to discuss the sad event that brings us together to-day. Three men in working garb of a foreign race and unfamiliar tongue entered room. They approached the altar, kneeling before it and before his pic- ture, Thelr lips moved as if in prayer, While tears furrowed their cheeks. They may have been thinking of thelr own King Humbert and of his untimely death. Their emotion was elo- quent, eloquent beyond speech, and it bore testimony to their appreciation of manly friendship and of honest worth. It is a glorious thing to be able to say in this presence, with our {llustrious dead Dbe- fore us, that he never betrayed the confidence of his countrymen. Not for personal gain or pre-eminence would he mar the beauty of his soul. He kept it clean and white before God and man, and his hands were unsullied by bribes. His eyes looked right on and his eyelids looked straight before him. He was sincere, plain and honest, just, benevolent and kind. He never disappointed- those who' believed in him, but measured up to every duty and met every responsibility in life grandly and un- flinchingly. Not only was our President brave, heroic and honest; he was as gallant a knight as ever rode the lists for his lady love in the days when knighthood was in flower. It is but a few weeks since the nation looked on with tear- dimmed eyes, as it saw with what tender con- jugal devotion he sat at the bedside of his Deloved wife, when all feared that a fatal ill- ness was upon her. No public clamor that he might show himself to the populace, no de- mand of a social function was sufficient to draw the lover from the bedside of his wife. Ho watched and ‘waited while we ail prayed— and she lived. This sweet and tender story all the world 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 ber. Her smile was more to him than the plaudits of the multitude and for her greeting his acknowledgments of them must walt. After receiving the fatal wound his first thought was that the terrible news might be broken gently to her. May God, in this deep hour of sorrow, comfort her. May his grace be greater than’her gngulsh. May the widow's God be hér God. Beauty of Character. Another beauty of the character of our Presi- dent, that was a chaplet of grace about his neck, was that he was a Christian. In the broadest, noblest sense of the word, that was true. His confidence in God was strong and unwavering. It held him steady in many a storm, where others werg driven before the wind and tossed. He believed in the father- hood of God and in his sovereignty. His faith in the gospel of Christ was deep and abiding. He had no patience with any other theme of pulpit discourse. ‘“‘Christ and him crucified” was to his mind the only panacea for the world’s disorders. He belleved it to be the supreme duty of the Christjan minister to preach the word. He said, ‘“We do not look for great business men to the pulpit, but for preachers.”” It is well known that his godly mother had hoped for him that he would be- come a minister of the gospel and that she believed it to be the highest vocation in life. It was not, however, his mother’'s faith that made him a Christian. He had gained in early life a personal knowledge of Jesus which guided him In the performance of greater duties and vaster than have been the lot of any other American President. He sald at one time, while bearing heavy burdens, that he could not discharge the dalily duties of his life but for the fact that he had faith in God. ‘William McKinley believed in prayer, in the beauty of it, in the potency of it. Its language was not unfamillar to him, and his public ad- dresces not Infrequently evince the’ fact. It Was perfectly consistent with his lifelong con- victions and his personal experiences that he should say as the first critical moment after the assassin approached, ““Thy kingdom come, thy .will be done,”’ and that he should declare at the last, “'It's God’s way; his will be done.’" He lived grandly; It was fitting that he should dle grandly. And now that the majesty of death has touched and calmed him we find that in his supreme moment he was still a conqueror. 7 My friends and countrymen, with what lan- guage shall 1 attempt to give expression to the deep horror of our souls as I speak of the cause of his deuth? When we consider the magnitude of the crime that has plunged the country and the world Into unutterable grief ‘we are not surprised that one nationality after another has hastened td repudiate the dread- ful act. This gentle spirit, who hated no one, to whom every man was, a brother, was sud- denly smitten by the cruel hand of an assassin and that, too, while in the very act of ex- tending & kind and generous greeting to one who approached bim under the sacred guise of friendship, Mystery of Providence. Could the assailant have reallzed how awful was the act he was about to perform, how utterly heartless the deed, methinks he ‘would have stayed his hand at the very threshold of it. In all the coming vears men will seek in vain to fathom the enormity of that crime Had this man who fell been a despot, a tyrant, an oppressor, an insane frenzy to rid the world of him might have sought excuse, but it w; the people’s friend who fell when Willlam M. Kinley received the fatal wound. Himgelf a son of toll, hie sympathies were with the toller. No one who has seen the matchless grace and perfect ease with which he greeted such can ever doubt that his heart was in his open hand. Pvery heart throb was for his countrymen. That his life should be sacrificed at such time. just when there was abundant peace, when all the Americas were rejoicing together, is one of the inscrutable mysteries of Providence. 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 his nation greater than ever before.

Washington saw the beginning of our national life. Lincoln passed through the night of our history and saw the dawn. McKinley beheld his country in the splendor of its noon. Truly he dled in the fullness of his fame. With Paul he could say, and with equal truthfulness, “1 am now ready to be offered.”” 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 standing among nations ‘was secure. Our President was safely en- shrined In the affections of a united people. It was not at him that the fatal shot was fired, but at the very life of the Government. His offering was vicarious. It was blood poured upon the altar of human liberty. In view of these things, we‘are not surprised to hear from one who was present when this great soul passed away that he never before saw a death 80 peaceful, or a dylng man so crowned with grandeur. Let us turn now to a brief consid- eration of some of the lessons that we are to learn from this sad event. First Lesson Taught. The first one that will occur to us all is the old, old lesson that ‘‘in the midst of life we are in death.” *‘Man goeth forth to his work and to his labor until the evening.” ‘He fleeth as it were a shadow and never continueth In one Our President went forth in the fullness of his strength, in his manly beauty, and was suddenly smitten by the hand that brought death with it. None of us can tell what a day may bring forth. Let us therefore remember that ‘No man liveth to himself and none of us dieth to himself.” May each day's close see a day's duty done. Another great lesson that we should heed is the vanity of earthly greatness. In the pres- enco of the dread messenger how small are all the trappings of wealth and distinctions of rank and power. I beseech you, seek him who sald: “I am the resurrection and the life; he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live; and whosoever liveth and belleveth in me shall never die.” There is but one Savior for the sin-sick and the weary. 1 gntreat you to find him as our brother found But our last words must be spoken. Little more than four years ago we bade him good- by as he went to assume the great responsi bilities to which the nation had called him. His last words as he left us were: ‘Nothing could give me greater pleasure than this fare- well greeting—this evidence of your friendship and sympathy, your good will, and, I am sure, the prayers of all the people with whom I have lived so long and whose confidence and esteem are dearer to me than any other earthly honors. Toall of us the future i5 as a sealed book, but it 1 can by officlal act, or administration, or utterance in any degree add to the prosperity and unity of our beloved country and the ad- vancement and well being of our splendid citi- zenship I will devote the best and most un- selfish efforts of my life to that end. With this thought uppermost in my mind I reluc- tantly take leave of my friends and neighbors, cherishing in my heart the sweetest memories and thoughts of my old home—my home now— ‘llind' I trust, my home hereafter, so long as I e We hoped with him that when his work was done, freed from the burdens of his great office, crowned with the affections of a happy people, he might be permitted to close his earthly life in the home he had loved. He Has Returned. He has, fndeed, returned to us, but how? Borne to the strains of ‘‘Nearer, My God, to Thee,” and placed where he first began lite's struggle, that the people might look and weep cver so sad a home-coming. But it was a trlumphal march. How vast the procession! The nation rose and stood with uncovered head. The people of the land are chief mourners, 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 reflec- tion, what other man ever had such high hon- ors ‘bestowed upon him by so many people? What pageant has equaled this that we look upon? We gave him to the nation but 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 the purpose to complete it. We take him back a mighty conqueror. “The churchyard where his children rest, The quiet spot that suits him best. There shall his grave be made And there his bones be lald. ‘And there his countrymen shall come, With memory proud, with pity dumb; And strangers far and near For many and many a year, For many a year and many an age While history on her ampie page The virtues shall enroll Of that paternal soul.” At the conclusion of Dr. Manchester’s discourse Bishop 1. W. Joyce of Minneap- olis delivered a short prayer. % The hymn, “Nearer, My God, to Thee, was sung by the entire congregation. The people remained standing after the close of the hymn while the benediction was pronounced by Monsignor T. P. Thorpe of Cleveland. " The casket was then borne from the church to the funeral car and the march of the procession to the cemetery began. Lsadey CHOICE FLOWERS LINE THE VAULT Tributes of Respect From Every Na- tion Lie Beside. the Coffined Remains. CANTON, Sept. 19.—Never before on this continent has such a floral display been seen at any public occasion as that in Westlawn Cemetery this afternoon. The vault was lined with the rarest and cost- liest flowers, a multitude of floral pieces was spread on the ground before the door of the vault and for 100 feet to the right and left of the doorway and for half as many feet to the rear of a line passing through the front wall it was impossible to tread, so thickly did the tributes lie, Nearly every country on both hemispheres was represented by an offering. The number of those from the United States was almost past counting. They came from every State in the Union and there is scarcely a man In public life whose tribute of respect for the virtues of Wil- llam McKinley did not lie beside his cof- fined remains this afternoon. The inside of the vault was literally a mass of roses and orchids when the casket was carried Into it and the outside walls were well-nigh hidden beneath the profu. sion of flowers hung upon them. Above the doorway hung an enormous wreath of dark green calix leaves and over the right corner of the vault was a similar wreath, the leaves being a deep red; in a corresponding position on the other side wa$ hung a wreath of jvy. The great wreath in the center was the offering of the Itallan Government and the King of Italy and was one of the handsomest. pleces seen. Upon a great streamer of black satin, which swung from the mass of deep green leaves, was the following inscription? Requiem eternam. dona domine. Beside the black streamer floated one of red, white and blue, the colors of the United States, and another of red, white' and green, the colors of Italy. To the right of the door, in a frame formed of red and white roses, was a vase fully six feet high, made of white asters. This was the offering of the manufacturing potters of East Liverpool, Ohlo. The em- ployes of these manufacturing potters sent an elaborate design of a vase done in red and white roses that was fully equal in beauty to that sent by their employ- ers. On the the south side of the door- way was suspended a beautiful wreath of | liles of the valley, intertwined with smilax, the whole surmounted with white and purple orchids, bound together with a wide band of royal‘purple satin. Stand- ing a short distance from the vault to the south was a small cradle covered éntirely with white and purple asters. On its sides were worked in Yurple immortelles the word “Niles.” This was said to be the cradle in which President McKinley had been rocked during his infancy in Niles, Ohio, and special instructions came with it that it should be guarded with great care and returned safely to Niles where it is to be preserved. » From the republic of Cuba came an enormous representation of the flag of the new nation. A wreath of red roses‘and Lilies of the Valley came from the re- public of Haytl, a wreath of white roses | and purple_asters from the President of Uruguayv. From the Knights Templar of Minnesota came a great shield five feet long and three feet wide, formed entirely of white asters. In the center was the red cross of the Knfights Templar.

Memorial services, attended by crowds, were held in the leading churches, at which eloquent tributes were paid to the many great nqualities of the martyred President and his favorite hymns were sung. SELDOM SUCH COMMON SORROW LONDON, Sept. 20.—The London morn- ing newspapers again appear with black borders and long accounts of the cere- monies in Canton and of memorial serv- ices and tributes throlghout the world. The editorials generally comment upon the widespread sympathy. “Seldom, if ever,” says the Standard, “has a common sorrow found expression in so many lands.” The Daily News finds “this spontaneous manifestation of mourning deeply sugges- tive and impressive, being paralleled only at the death of Victoria.” Several London theaters were closed last night. Those remaining open wit- nessed some remarkable demonstrations. The programmes began with the “Dead March in Saul,” the audiences standing. At the leading varlety houses the “Star Spangled Banner” was also played and was recalled with! ringing cheers and shouts of “Down with anarchists.” At a concert in Queen’s Hall Sir Arthur Sullivan’'s “In Memoriam™ over- ture and Tchaikowsky's “Pathetique Symphonie” were played in memory of Mr, McKinley. Mr. and Mrs. Chamberlain attended the memorial service in Birmingham yester- day. There was also a big demonstration in that city last night in connection with the Wesleyan conference, when resolu- tions of sympathy were adopted after the crime of Czolgosz had been characterized in_terms of deepest abhorrence. Queen Alexandra has_written an atuo- graph letter to Mrs. McKinley, which wg} g0 to the United States by the next mail. Lerd Tansdowne, the Foreign Secre- tary, intimates through the press his re- gret’ that illness prevented him from at- tending the memorial service in West- minster Abbey. Memorial services are reported from Moscow. Lisbon, Calcutta and Hamburs. Mr. Choate In his letter of apology for absence from the King Alfred millenary commemoration at Winchester, due to the death of President McKinley, says: “The sympathy expressed in a perfect ava- lanche of telegrams from all parts of the British _dominion is most touching.
