Deep and Universal Mourning Mis Devoted Wife Unable to Attend The Public Funeral? Eloquent Trib- | ute to the Dead Chieftain. Canton, Special.? With majestic so- , lemnity, surrounded by his country- < men uud his townspeople, in t lie pros- ' ence of the President of the United States, tho cabinet, Justices of the' United States Su premie Court, Senators and Representatives /in Congress, the ? head of th? military and naval estab- . llshments, the Governors of States, and ' a groat concourse of people who had known and loved him, all that Is mor- . tal of the third President to fall by an assassin's bullet was committed to the j grave on Thursday,. Jit was a .spectacle ! of mournful grandeur/ Canton ceased i to bo a town and swelled to the ^ropor . tlons of a great cHy. From eVfcry cl:y N and hamlet in Ohio from tho remote - corners of the South and from the ISast j and Wost, tho human tide flowed InLo j tho town until 10U.U00 people were ? within Its gates, here to pay their. last j tribute to the fallen chief. The fina.L.scene at the First Metho dist church, whore the funeral service was held and the beautiful West Lawn Cemetery, where the body was consign ed to a vault, were simple and Impres sive. The service at the church con sisted of a brief oration, prayers by the ministers of three denominations and singing by a quartette. The body was then taken to Westlawn and placed in a receiving vault, pending tho time when it will be finally laid to rest be sidOhe dead children who were burled years ago. Tho funeral cortege was /'"Very .impressive, and included not only the representatives of the army and navy of the United Slates, but the en tire military strength of the State of Ohio and hundreds of civic, fraternal and other organizations. It was two miles long. ^ One of tho most- pathetic feature.? or the day was the absence of Mrs. Mc chureh and In the cemetery when the ?>ody of her husband was laid to rest. ' Since the first shock of the shootinj?, I then of the death and through the or- ; deal of state ceremonies, she had boruo 1 up bravely. But there is a limit to liu-J man endurance and when the day came It found her two weak to pass through tho trials of tho final ceremonies. ' Through the open door of her vocm she mains of the late President, /-*rom the body was borne out of the hoviss. After that DlV Rlxey remained close by her side, and although the full force of tho j calamity had come upon her, it was be- ? Ileved by those about hur tTi at ihere was a Drovidential mercy in her tears, ! as they gave some relief to the an guish of the heart within. I The streets of the little feity of Can7 ton were filled with plumcr, prancing : horses and (Jensely packed bodies of , moving men assembling here for the ' procession which was to eniort the ;c- ? mains of the late President from the j church to Westlawn Cemetery. Thirty j special trains, in addition to the regu- ' lar trains, had arrived before noon, i The biggest crowd in the history of Canton, which was here dufing the campaign of 18%, estimate! at over <50,0000, was exceeded today. The awe stricken crowds upon their arrival nil moved as by a common Impulse to ward the old familiar McKlnley cot tage, vhero the. remains were- lying. Military guards stationed at the four comers of the lawn paced their beats, but there -was no other of life about the house of death. 'I he window shades were down. Aj long borfjer of black which had beopmit In piacv tho body was " removed to" the houte Jrr? night fringed thft roor o i tno p:?rcn from which President McKhtlcv had spoken to delegations from every State in the union and where he had met an J talked with all the chieftains, of his party.v No badge of conventional mourning was on the door. Instead there was a simple, wreath of palms bisected" by a beautiful band of wide purple satin ribbon. The face of the President Was ceen for the last time when. It lajt in state ? Wednesday- in-the-rourt-hotwe-. ? The casket was hot opened after it was re reered the llcJCin'.ey residence and lie members of the family had no op portunity vo look upon thu'Hilent feat tires again. The casket was sealed be fore it was borne away from the court house. Whe;i Mrs. McKintey came ,'nto file death chamber for her last mo ments beakde her doid husband she fished to have a final look at the up-, turned face, B'jt this was# Impossible . and the sealed casket with Ita flowets and flats war* in that she^aw.

Frees the fear quarter* of ? ?? ? ?*? ??!?>? im soldiers, acting as guards, wore in tri ple lies from the curbs to the lawns, j "The walks had been cleared and the multitude took refuge in the great sweep of lawns where they formed a solid mass of humanity surging for ward to the lilies of soldiers. In front of the McKinley .cottage were drawn j *jp the two rigid files of body-bearers, eight sailors of the navy and eight soldiersHo go within and take up the casket. J ust at 1 o'clock the black ehargors . of the Cleveland troop swept down the street, their riders four abreast, in , their brilvmt hussar uniform, with flags and banded by crepe and every j sabre hilt bearing Ityj fluttering emblem dI pa drA'.y.?r ?Z.'-ZZ signal for the approach of President Roosevelt and the members t?f th/> cab- j inent. The presidential party moved up the walk to the entrance of the house ' and formed in a group to the left. The j President's fact* looked Very grave and , he stood there silently with uncovered head awaiting the body of the dead ? chieftain. Beside him stood Secretary Gage, Secretary Root, Secretary Wil son and Secretary Hitchcock and just across Attorney General Knox, Post- ' master General Smith, Assistant f^ecre- j tary of State- Hill, representing Secre tary Hay, and Secretary Gortelyou. ; Extending further down the walk was the guard of honor, the ranking gen erals of the army on the right and the chief figures of the navy on the left, j Lieutenant General Miles, in the fvil.1 ui.iform of his high rank, with his sword at his side and the band of eVppe , about his arm^slrfSd alongside y the ' members of fhe cabinent and with him were Major General Brooke, Major General MacArthur, Major General ? Otis and Brigadier General Gillespie.! Across from them was ranged Rear | Admiral Farquliar, representing Ad- j miral Dewey, ranking head of the u?- ; vy; Rear Admiral Cmwninshield, Rear Admiral O'Nell, Rear Admiral Kcnney and Brigadier General Hey wood, the latter commander-in-chief of the Ma- j l ine Corps. As the presidential party came up; the black chargers of Troop A swung j into bataMlon front facing the house1 and the long line of flashing sabres ad vanced to salute. Now the deep-toned ] wail of the church belis began and , every steeple in Canton gaVQ forth its dolorous plaint, it was 1:15 o'clock,] and the time had come for taking up the body. A brief private service had ; been held within the darkened cham- j while the relatives gathered aro\ind while the relatives gathreed around and Mrs. Mcivintey listened irom uiu | half-open door of her adjoining room. The double file of body-bearers now stepped into the room and raising the flag- wrapped casket to their shoulders, bore it through the open entrance. A solemn lihsh fell upon the multitude as the bearers advanced with measured tread." Not a a bugle blast went up; not a strain of the hymns the dead ru ler had loved so well. The sccne was majestic in lta Bilence. A^ the casket was borne along above uie^llne of heads could be seen the enfolding Stars and Stripes and on top great masses oj white roses and delicate la render orC-hlds. Tenderly the coffin was committed. to the hearse and the sllcnce was broken, as the order to march passed from ofTiccr to ofTicer. It was about 1:40 o'clock when the procession passed tl/e court house and turned into Tuscarawas street to the stalely stone edifice where the funer al services were to be held. At the church entrance were drawn up deep 111 os of soldjgflte with bayonets advanced keeping a clear area for the advancing casket and the long train of mourners. The hearse halted while pr rodent Roosevelt and members of the cabinet alighted. Again they grouped them selves at either side of the entrance and with uncovered heads awaited the pas sage of Lhe casket. Then the coffin was brought from. the hearse and taken in to the draped entrance, the cabinet following the President. The mourners, too. passed. In. -but the 3trickcft.A\idow.^. was not -among them. She had remain ed behind in the old home, alone with her grief. ? The scene within the ciiuren w-iwu j tho casket was carried in '6n the braw- I ny shoulders of the soldiers and saif- I ors was profoundly impressive.

The entiiej congregation arose and joined in the last stanza. Father Valtman. of Chi cago. chaplain of the Twenty-ninth In f an try, pronounced the benediction. Th?n thr> rvnfPQ of fhr> nriran nra'n rnuo I ! The cotlln was taken up and borne | from the church. The relatives and I those in official life went cut in the or der they had entered. It was qfter 3 o'clock when the a - lent anil anxious throngs outs'de the church saw the solemn pageant-reap pear through the church doore. Out Tuscarawas street the long procession moved through a section of the city where the sound of the dirge had no; been before heard. lint it presented the same sorrow-stricken aspe::t that had boen observed in the heart of tbo city. Funeral arches spanned the street, some of them, it is' understood, having been erecjod by school chil dren. The housrs were hung in bl irk and even the stately elms along the.! way had their trunks enshrouded in ] black and^vliite drapery. The line of the funeral march from the church to the eemetcry was about one and one-half miles .an length. For hours even before the time sat for t!;e commencement of the funeral exerci3?s at the McKlnley home, the street alone; the entire length of the line of march was crowded with spectators. From ihe gates of the cemetory to the dcors of the church there was on earh side of the street an almost unbroken line of soldiers, and at the intersecting streets, detachments of the military were posted about 100 feet from the line of march. It was exactly fo'ir minute3 af:er 4 o'clock when the fu neral car bore t h e XQm&i AA-gl . the dead rrftsi.Ieri t Oi roil gh the gateway of tni3 last resting place. Twenty minutes after that time the brief services at tin vault were ovey* the members of the, family and the dlsmaguishcd men of - tho nation who had come so far to do him honor had passed through tho gates on their homeward way. One hour nnd forty minutes after thr hoarse hail entered the cemetery the p^ace was clear and the dead President was resting alone under the wat^hf*tr> care of men of tho regular army. A sentry's measured tread resounded another kept vigil on the grassy slope above and at the head and at the foot ,ift the cask ft stood armed men. lie fore the d-oor which wag not cSosred tt? nigfci.waa pitched the tent of thn guard and the're it will remain until* the doors are <*losed to-morrow.

President Patton introduced Mr. Cleveland, who waj , visibly affected and with tears in hid eyes eulogized the dead President. Mr. Cleveland said in part: "Today the grave closes over the man that had been chosen by the peo ple of the United States to represent their sovereignty, to protect and de fend their constitution, to faithfully execute the laws made for their wel fare and to safely uphold the integ rity of the republic, lie. passes from the public Hlght not bearing the wreaths and garlands of his country men'3 approving acclaim, but amid the sobs and tears of a mourning na tion.

"First in my thoughts are the les 'Eons to be learned from the earner of William McKmrey by the "young men who make up the students today of our University. They are not obscure nor difficult. The man who Is unl ..vorsally mourned today was not de ficient in education, but with all you will hear of his grand career and hig services to his country, you will not bear thatch at which ho accomplished was due entirely to education. He was an obedient and affectionate son, pa triotic' faithful as a soldier, hon est] and upright as 'a citizen, tender vxrij/ devoted as a husband, and truth mf. generous, unselfish, moral and elean in every relation of life. He never thought any of those things too weak for his manliness. Make no mis take.
