I bear a great hue and cry about a soldiers' home, and I think it would I be far better to give every old soldier : who was in service a pension and let ; him stay at home where his friends could see after him. Many of them have poor little homes, but they live j | hard; many of them are not able to ; | cut their own fire wood; so a little help at their own little home would do good. There is no home to an old j soldier like his own, where he can be ! with his own people and friends, and I think that is the place to help him. j Don't let South Carolina be behind. Let her do as much for her old sol- i diere as some of the other States are doing. She was the first to call out > her men.

His last conscious hour on earth was spent with the wife to whom he devoted a lifetime of | care. He died unattended by a minister of the po3pe), but bis last words were an humble submission to the will of the God in whom he believed. 1 He was reconciled to the cruel fate to which an assassin's bullet had I condemed him, and faced death in j the same spirit of calmness and poise which has marked his long and hoc- ! orable career. His last conscious ; words, reduced to writing by Dr. ManD, who stood at his bedside when they were as follows: ' Good-bye. all; good bye. It's God;s way. His will be done." His relatives, and members of the official family, were at the Milburn i house, except Secretary Wilson, who ; did not avail himself of the oppor- j tunity, and some of his personal and political friends who took leave of him. This painful ceremony was simple. His friends came to the door of the sick room, took a loDgiDg I glance at him, nd turned tearfully away. He was practically unconscious during this time. But the powerful heart stimulants, including oxygen, were employed to restore him to consciousness for his final parting with his wife. He asked for her, and she sat at his side and held his hands. He consoled her and bade her good-bye. She went torough the heart-trying scene with the same bravery and fortitude with which she has borne the grief of the tragedy which has ended his life. The immediate cause of the President'3 death is undetermined. His physicians disagree, and it will possibly require an autopsy to fix the exact cause. The President's re mains will be taken to Washington, aEd there will be a State fureral Vice President, Roosevelt, who now succeeds to tbe Presidency, may lake the oath of office wherever he bappens to bear the news. The cabinet will, of course, resign in a body, an President Roosevelt will have an op- portunity cf formiDg a new cabinet, if be so desires. The rsge of the people of Buffalo agaiDSttbe President's assassin, when they learned tonight that he was dyiDg, was boundless. Thousands surrounded the jail, aod the entire I olice force of the city and two regiments of militia were utilized to insure bis protection. Of all the sad household, oDly the v i e did net know the truth. She surmised that Mr. McKialey was worse, for she was told tbis motnit g ' it would be better for her not to ent? r the sick chamber.
