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

"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

flags and banded by crepe and every j

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. K j
black border twenty feet high rcllevyd j
at intervals by narrow whito bap^l-. j
falling to the floor, swept, compl/t'ly j
around the interior. Only the gilt yorgail
pipe back of the pulpit rose above It.
The vestibules on either eldo /of the i
chdncel leading into the chifrch wei'o'l
black tunnels, the stained jprlass win- '
dows on iither side were /framed in j

i "NEARER MY OOD, TO THEE" THE
j ' LAST HYMN.
Bishop I. W. Joyce, c.( Minneapolis, |
i followed with a br:et prayer, and t!ie i
services were concluded with the sing- |
: ing of the hymn which President Mc
i Kinley repented on hi3 death bed, '
"Nearer, My God, to Thee." 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

guard and the're it will remain until*

o'clock memorial exercises were held
In Alexander Hall. 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. The whole nation loved their
President. His kindly disposition and
affectionate traits, his * amiable con
sideration for all around him will
loug'be In (he hearts of his country
men. Ho loved I hem in return with
such patriotic unselfishness that in
this hour of their grief and humilia
tion he would say to them. 'It is (Jod's
will, I am content. If there Is a les
in my life or death, let it be
tanfeht to those who still live and
have the destiny of tbclr country In
their keeping.'
"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. Here was a most distinguish ci
man. a great man. a useful man? who
became distinguished, great and use
ful because he had. and retained un
impaired, qualities of heart which I
fear nnlvupslty > ?tudenta sometimes
feel line keeping" in the background or
abandoning.
"There- is a most serious lesson for
all of us in the tragedy of our late
President's death. If we are to es
cape further attacks upon our peace
and security, we must boldly and re
solutely grapple with the monster of
anarchy. It la not a thing that we can
safely leave to be dealt with b/party
or partisanship. Nothing can guarsn
tfe us agalnst It* menace aaeept-the
teaching and the practice of the heat
