Tenderly and rovorontly thoso who had known William MoKinley beat reoeivod ? his martyred body into their arms at his old home, Canton, Ooio, Wednesday. They had forgotten tho iiL.r.^;? - * *1 - - muivituua umuur ui 1110 SiaiOSlIian 1U tho loss of a groat porsonal friond who had grown dcaror to them with the pass iDg of tho yoare. They hardly noticed tho president of tho Uoitod States or tho gonorala and admirals in their rosplondentB uniforms. Tho beautiful flag draped o&skot whioh oontainod tho body of thoir friond and follow townsman hold all thoir thoughts. Ho had loft them two weeks ago vC tho full tido of tho strength of a glorious manhood and they had brought him back uo&a. Anguish wan in tho heart of every man, woman andohild. The on tiro population of tho littlo city an thousands from all Ohio, tho full strength of tho national guard of tho State, eight' regiments, threo batteries of artillery, ono battalion of engineers, five thousand inon ifi all, tho govern! r, lieutonant govornor and justioo of tho lupremo court, representing tho throo brandies of tho State government, aero at tho station to reootvo tho remains. The wholo town was in deep blsok Tho only hot*) in all this sorrow strioken city, snango as it may seem, without a touoh of mourning drapory was the old familiar McKinlcy cottage on North Markot street to whioh so many distinguished men in tho ooiintr) have made pilgrimages in the days that aro gone. Tho blinds wero drawn but tin re was no outward tokon of tho blow that had robbed it of its most prooious possos 6ion. The flowers bloomed en tho lawn as they did two weeks ago. Thero was not oven a bow of orcpo upon tho door when tho stricken widow was oarricd by Abnor McKmloy and Dr. K xoy through it into tho darkened homo from whioh tho light, forhor, had flown forever. Only tho hitohiDgpost at tho ouib in front of tho residenoo had been swamea id diaok dy tne citizens id order that it might conform to the gen oral ichemo of mourDiog deocration that had bocn adopted. Sad an was tho proocssioo which boro the body to tho court houso whoro it lay in state it oould Dot oomparo with tho infinito sadness of that endloes double liuo of brokon hcaricd people who streamed steadily through the dimly lighted corridors oi' tho building from tho timo tho coffin was opouod until it was takon homo to tho sorrowing widow at nightfall. Thoy stepped softly, lost their foot falls wako their friond from his last long sloop. Tears camo un bidden to wot tho bior. Perhaps it was tho groat chango that had oomo upon the oountenauoo whioh movod thorn moro than tho sight of tho familiar features. Tho signs of discoloration whioh appoarcd upon tho brow and ohecks Wednesday at tho Stato coremonial in the rotunda of tho oapitol ai Washington had deepened. Tho lips Lad become livid. All but two of tho lights of tho ohandolior abovo tho head wore extinguished in order that tho chango might appear less noticeable, but every ono who viewed tbo remains remaiked tho darkened features and tho ghastly lips. When tho body was takon away thousands wero still ' .ino and tho oommKteo in ohargo of tho arrangements was appealed to to allow a further opportunity to viow tho romains before they aro takon to tho ohuroh. But this had to be reluotantly denied to them and the oaskot may never bo opened again. m i _ t_ ? ? * a no Higni was proiounaiy improefcivo as the funeral train drew into the little station at Canton at exactly noon. All about the btation and banked deep in tko surrounding strocts wcro tho friends and neighbors of the mart;rod prosi dent, while drawn up back of tho station were long lincR of railitiamon at "present arms." Immediately in tho rear of tho station, at tho mouth of Tenth street, was Troop A cf Cloveland mounted on thoii blaok ohargors, keeping tho entrance of tho lino of maioh oloar. All about wero tho blaok symbols of mourning. Tho approach of the train was unhoraldod. No whistle was blown, no bell wasiung. In absolute silence it lolltd into the station. At tho more sight ot the train the peoplo who had been waiting thoro tor hours were greatly aflootcd. Woman sobbed and men wept. For a lull minuto after it had slopped no ono appcarod. Judgo Day ana his oommitteo moved slowly down thoplatfoim in front of tho line of tolcieis to the oatafalque oar and waited. Sud Ueniy Abnir MoKiulvy in deep blaok, his faoo tonso and drawn, appeared in the vestibule oar ntxt to that convoying the remains and a moment later Dr. Rixey appeared half oarrryiqg a frail and broken foTm. it was Mrs MoKinley arr?y<d in tho dcopost mourning. Beneath tho heavy black veil she hold her handkrrohief to her eyes and her slight figure shook oon vulsivoly.

All woro unoovorcd. Tho oasket was then lifted through the window and Ukon' upon tho brawny ahouldors of tho body boarors. Only tho flag was on it now. At Bight of it, toars oamo un bidden and flowed frocly. Tho sad prooossion was thon formed, it was beaded by Col. Bingham, in full uniform, a bow >of orcpo at tho hilt of his shcathod sword..

Tho shrillnoas of tho bugles had givon tho tirat sign to tho wailing multitude outa:de tho station that tho oai'kot was approachiiig, instantly tho long linos of soldkrs kcoamo rigid, standing at present arms. Tho blaok horaos of tho Uiovolar.d troupo immcdiatoly faoing tho atauon, stood inotionloas, their ridora with sabroa lowered. Slowly through tho ontvauoo camo tho stalwart soldiers and sailors with solomn tread boaring aloft tho flig-coverod coflin of tho man thoy lovod uo well. As it camo into view, a great sigh wont up from tho donao throng. After tho first glanoo many of tho men and women turned away to hide their emotions, which thoy oould not roatrain. When tho oaakot had boon oonsignod to tho hoarso, throe mouotcd trumpeters gavo signal for tho melancholy proo:osion to movo. A momoot later the eoand of "Nearer, My God, to Thee," floated through tho air as tho Grand Army votoraus with thoir hand swung into lino and took up tho maroh toward tho oourt houao. A msjoatioally solemn epootaolo was prosenud as tho prooossion noarod tho LI! .1 * - ? puono E<iuaro in mo oentoreot ttio city. After the Grand Army men oarno tho Clovolaud troop, in thoir brilliant uniforms of Austrian Hussars, with tall beor skin shakos toppod by pompoms of white.

Immediately following tho hoarso oarno tho oarriago of I'rosidont ltooso volt whorodo with his brother in law, Gapt. Uowlos of tho navy, and Sooro tary Gago. Tho oarriagos of tho other mombereof the otbinot and those who had boon near to tho lato i resident in publio lifo wore lined out for half a rmlo. Baok of thorn marohod tho national guard of Ohio, rogimont aftor regiment, in platoon front formation and Ailing tho broad thoroughfare from sido to side. As tho hoad of tho prooossion rcaoku d tho groat squaro of tho oity, tho military ranks swung about, forming solid fronts facing the approaching bcarso. As it was driven to tho ourb, tho boarors stoDDcd from their places alougsido, and again took up their butden. lieforo tho eyos of tho vast oonoouno tilling tho squaro tho oabket was tenderly raised and borno up tho wide stono steps leading to tho ontranoe to tno court house. The strains of "Nearer, My God, to Thee" were still sounding as the flag drapod oeffin disappeared within tho building. Moving slowly with short steps tho cutiin was homo to its support. Tho bearers swung slowly arout d so that tho hoad lay to tho oast. Tho silk banner that was fling over the casket was drawn back, the wreaths which rested upon its head wero r. moved and tho 0(fti>n lid was taken iff.
