Mrs. McKinley never knew of the efforts made for days to prolong her life, nor of the solicitous hope against hope of her sister and other relatives and friends for her recovery. Coincident of the Death. At the McKinley home when death came there were present Secretary Cortelyou, Mr. and Mrs. M. C. Barber, Mrs. Sarah Duncan, Mrs. Luther Day, Justice and Mrs. William R. Day, Drs. Portman and Rlxey and the nurses. It was by Secretary Cortelyou that the announcement of the demise was given to the public.

WILL LIE WITH HER HUSBAND

In the National Mausoleum—Half Her Lift- an Invalid. Tlie body of Mrs. McKinley will be placed In the vault in West Lawn cemetery, which holds the remains of her husband, until the completion of the national mansoleum on Monument hill, when both caskets will be transferred to receptacles in that tomb. From numerous friends of the deceased Mrs. Barber has received telegrams of condolence on the death of her slater. Among them were telegrams from President Boosevelt and Vice President Fairbanks. Mrs. McKinley’s life of almost sixty years had been made familiar to the nation by the fact that more than half of it was a period of Invalidism. _ Through all this, however, she showed n firm and unwavering belief in the career of her husband, and by her cheering words. In spite of personal afflictions, encouraged him when there was darkness at hand. She believed that his star of destiny would never set until he had become president of this land, and for more than a quarter of a century cherished that belief until her hopes were realized. After President McKinley’s death ■he expressed a desire to join him, and prayed day by day that she might die. Later, however, she frequently told friends she desired to live until the completion of the McKinley mausoleum, which la the gift of the nation, and which is to be dedicated on Monument hill Sept 30 next. Ida McKinley, daughter of James A. Saxton, was reared In a home of comfort and ease, and was given a firstglass edu£atlo_n. She .was married to

tVJlliam McKinley Jan. 25, 1871, her father saying to him when he asked for her hand: “You ere the only man I have ever known to whom I would entrust my daughter.” After an eastern trip, including Washington, and a short time of (warding, the McKinley’s purchased the home on North Market street, which in later years became famous as the McKinley cottage. It was during their short sojourn in this homehallowed to them by to many sorrows -that Mrs. McKinley’s health broke down under file burden of grief that was theirs. There were born to them two daughters, Katie on Christmas Day of 1871, and Ida on April 1, 1873. Buth both died, Ida when four months old and Katie when 8 years and 6 months.

The estate which was left by President McKinley was appraised at $215,000 when the inventory was made. It has increased in value since that time. By the terms of the will the estate at the death of Mrs. McKinley was to be divided equally among his brother, Abner McKinley, now deceased, and sisters, Mrs. Duncan and Miss Helen McKinley, of Cleveland. Mrs. Hermanns Baer (Mabel McKinley), Is the daughter and heir of Abner McKinley. Canton, 0., May 29.—Banked with flowers on every side whose fragauce filled the entire house and was wafted As an incense to the throng of people waiting in line to enter the McKinley residence, the casket containing the mortal remains of Mrs. McKinley was passed by thousands of persons. Cantonlans paid their tribute in the best way they could, since by request it had been denied them the privilege of any funeral decorations in the city or any general municipal participation in the ceremonies. It was estimated that 8,000 people passed through the McKinley home in the time alloted.

Canton, 0., May 29. —The body of Mrs. Ida Saxton McKinley now rests by the side of that of the late President McKinley in the receiving vault at West lawn cemetery. The simple funeral services held at the McKinley residence on Market street were witnessed by a distinguished company, including President Roosevelt, Vice President Fairbanks, Governor Harris, and many high officials, both of the nation and state, » Alarming Rumor Spreads. An alarming rufiior, apparently originating in Cleveland, that Michael Czolgosz, brother of the assassin of President McKinley, was in Canton was discredited by the local police. While placing no credence in the Czolgoszstorythe police were on the alert and took no chances In safeguarding the president. Three arrests were the result of “drag net” thrown out during the forenoon. The men were strangers in the city, and each strongly protested the absence of malign Intentions. The police, however, announced that the men would be held until after the president's departure sot Indianapolis.

Worrell, one of the field secretaries of the committee, spoke of the work which the committee had done and declared there was no desire or purpose to antagonize the Anti-Saloon League; that both organizations had their own spheres of usefulness and that they would endeavor to co-operate. On the general subject of temperance work the assembly adopted this resolution: “The assembly expresses its hearty approval of all temperance organizations, of whatever name, and their labors in opposition to the giant evil of intemperance,” The assembly decided to meet next year In Kansas City, Mo.

WARM TIME IN COURT

Lawyers Wax Wroth end Give Each Other the Lie Direct and Positive. JUDGE FINALLY TAKES A HANI Tells One Legal Light That Hts Will Send Him to Jail Then He Make* a Rule That Associate Counsel on Either Side Must Not Butt in Any -ft-- More. 7 i t ■ Ban Francisco, May 29. Of the fifty veniremen summoned into court for the completion of the Schmitz jury—eight jurors already having been sworn to try the case—forty-one answered the clerk’s roll call, nine were absent, twenty-five offered excuses to the court and were allowed to depart, leaving sixteen among them whom tc select four jurors to complete the panel. Talesmen L. S. Bachman, A. A. Altmeyer, Joseph Bush, James M. Brittain, F. G. Eckhorst, William Meisner and Bernard Wombold were all excused on the ground that they had formed strong opinions as to the guilt or innocence of the accused. In all twelve of the sixteen men were let go for bias, etc., and another venire of fifty name* was ordered.

Exciting Incident Occurs. There was an exciting incident during the session of court, that led to a threat by Judge Dunne to send Attorney John J. Barrett, of the defense, to jail for contempt It occurred during the examination by Assistant District Attorney Heney of Talesman J. R. Blanchard, a street contractor. ’Did you ever pay a S4OO commission for the collection of your claims against the city after it had been held up by the board of public works?” demanded Heney of Blanchard. “Well, not recently,” said Blanchard. “Paid It to Maestretti.” "How long ago?” “Well, I paid it to Maestretti." “Oh, you did? And' when?” “Well, It was about a year and a- half ago—just after (Frank Maestretti was at that timepresiaent Of the board ot public works. He was later removed by tne mayor.) “And did you,” demanded Heney, “go to the mayor-and complain of this hold up?” “I tried to see him,” replied Blanchard. “I went to his pflice half a dozen times, but I never Could find him. Maestretti was the only man that ever held me up.”

BARRETT AND HENEY CLASH Judge Also Does Some Clashing and Peace Is Restored. “Did you make any effort, Mr. Blanchard, to lay this matter before the grand jury and have Maestretti punished for bis crime?” pursued Heney. Attorney Barrett sprang to his feet. "We object to that question,” he cried. “Maestretti is a member of this prosecution and—” Heney jumped to his feet, his face red with anger. “That’s false, —r. Barrett,” he shouted, “and you know it” “It’s not false, and when you say n is you are falsifying,” retorted Barrett hotly. “Mr. Barrett” said Judge Dunne, "if you interrupt counsel again like that I will send you to jail.” Barrett started to protest that he had a right to be beard with his client's interest but Judge Dunne cut him short with a curt order to be seated. Then Judge Dunne turned to Campbell and said: “Mr. Campbell, if you are going to conduct this case I want you to do it alone. This court will not suffer any further interference by associate counsel. I make the same ruling with regard to the prosecution. —.One attorney must must speak for each side.”

Ex-Judge Fairall, of the defense, resented the court’s remarks, demanding to know whether any imputation was meant agaiust himself. Judge Dunne replied: “I have made a ruling. Mr. Fairall.” "Then I except to the remarks of the court as being improper?” Fairall rejoined. “We challenge this juror," said Heney, “on the ground that the facts themselves show that he is not in the proper frame of mind to do equal justice between the prosecution and the city. He concealed a crime the crime of extortion committed by a public official. He made no effort to lay it before the grand jury. He is not fit.” The defense resisted the challenge and this provoked Judge Dunne to remark : “He Is a man personally interested in the city administration. The challenge is allowed.” Blanchard stood aside.

Assistant District Attorney Heney says that It has been discovered that the police force is being used In an attempt to reach prospective jurors and witnesses in the graft prosecution. Heney’s statement was supplemented by Special Agent Burns, who declare! that Mayor Schmitz “is using the police department to gather evidence in his behalf and for other like improper purposes.” The defense denied the Imputation that Improper means were being employed.

BOYS’ CITY IN WOODS

Boy Mayor and Boy Aidermen Will Govern Municipality at Winona This Summer. . FIRST OF KIND IN AMERICA Judge Brown, of Salt Lake Juvenile Court, and Other Prominent Men Will Have Charge Several Thou* sand Boys Expected In Big Camp. Of the 250 or more summer assemblies in the United States, only one of them has begun a movement looking to the entertainment of the American boy. This one is the Winona Assembly, which will this season conduct a boys' camp at its summer retreat In northern Indiana, and the effort is making to gather up several thousand boys from twelve to seventeen years of age from over the middle West, and the plan is to place them by themselves in a city of tents in the deep wild woods at Winona Lake. The Winona Assembly has engaged Judge Willis Brown, founder of the Juvenile Court of Salt Lake City, to take charge of the camp, and Judge Brown has engaged a number of the best-known workers among boys in the United States to help him. The camp is to open on July 26 and continue through the following three weeks. The Winona Assembly has a number ot purposes In view, chief among them being that of following up the Christian work it has conducted among men and women for the last thirteen years, and now extending it to the small boy. Through the wholesome entertainment to be given at the camp, and through the various programs that the Assembly will give at its summer resort, it is the Intention to place the boys in a wholesome, uplifting atmosphere, and by bringing several thousand of them together from various states, to extend to the youngsters the many benefits which come through broad acquaintance and association with boys of the right kind. At tiie south end of Winona Lake there is a tract of woods containing, about 400 acres. The ground is rolling, well-drained, and is covered - with oak, elm and hickory trees. In different parts of this woods, which in other years has been used as a camping ground by frail children who sought fresh country air, are a number of flowing wells with clear, cold water. The tract of woodland Is cut up by a system of canals, and not far away broad, sandy beaches are washed by the fresh, clean water of Winona Lake. On the hills and in the dales of this woodland the new Winona boys' camp is to be located.

The kind of bays that are being sought for this enterprise are Sunday School classes, juvenile Y. M. C. A., choir boys, members of boys’ clubs, and similar organizations from cities and towns. One of the requirements is that not less than five boys come from one community, and they must not only be in the charge of an adult leader, but they must bring their own tents, camp outfit and cook, just as if they were going away to camp in some wild spot by themselves. The purpose of this rule is to give the parents of z the boys full assurance that the youngsters are to be under the immediate direction of someone from their home town upon whom the parents may sely.

These groups of boys, whether the group contains five, fifty or a hundred boys, are to have their Individual camps, but While at the lake all of them will be under the control of one big camp organisation. On July 30 one of the chief features of the camp win develop. An election will be held under the Australian ballot system, when some boy will be elected mayor. At the same time a board of aidermen will be elected, one aiderman from each district of the camp, a full force of municipal officers will be chosen, and the first boys’ city ever organized at a summer resort In this country will begin its operations. This juvenile municipality is to make its own laws for the government of the boys who are in camp, and the officers are to see that the laws A» enforced

Just Butt In!

that the offenders are punished. Judge' Brown and other men who have supervision of the camp will not participate in the municipal affairs further than to give the administrative officers the benefit of their counsel. , So many things have been planned for the entertainment of the boys that about the only idle time they will Jrave will be when they are asleep. There will be ’’hikes” in the woods, swimming in fresh water, bass and perch fishing, turtle hunting, boating on lake and canals, field meets and other athletic affairs as a means of entertainment through the day. A baseball league is to be organized, and a regular schedule leading to a championship will be carried out A national athletic contest Is also planned, and the young athletic teams from over the country are being invited to come into the camp and contest tor gold medals and other championship awards. At night, at the big assembly tent which will be pitched in the heart of the camp, many programs will be given. There will be camp-fires, Where some famous story-tellers wljl speak to the boys; moving pictures will be shown, and concerts will be given. Many Sunday School workers are organizing clubs among their boys Srith the view to taking them to Winona Lake. Public school superintear dents are developing similar plans.

» Lottery Men Surrender. Wilmington, Del.’, May 29.—The sudden dismissal of the federal grand jury called especially to probe Into the affairs of the Honduras National Lottery company corroborates the news from New Orleans that the gigantic gambling enterprise has surrendered. The principals will plead guilty on June 4 and will pay fines aggregating about $300,000.

Drinks For Invalids. In nearly all feverish conditions water is now given freely. It must, however, be boiled or distilled. Never put ice in the water the patient is to drink, but cool to a refreshing temperature by laying the bottles containing it next tn the ice. Milk or beer bottles with the patent corks are convenient for cooling in-the refrigerator. Mineral vlchy, apollinaris or seltzer—are generally allowed if the patient likes them.

Washing Day Wrinkles. When hanging clothes to dry, first hang up by the thickest part—waist or neckband, etc.—because if hung by the thinner part the water would run into the thick part, lodge there and take longer to dry. Secondly, bang up everything wrong side out, so that any accidental soiling will not do so much damage as if it appeared on the right side. ) Russian Clover. The new Russian type of clover now. being tested by the department of agriculture seems to possess special points of merit, says American Cultivator. The hay is said tn be nearly dustless, and the plant is a heavy yielder for the first crop and is later than other clover, thus coming into hay season ten days or two weeks later, or at about the right time to be cut with timothy. It is claimed to be better liked by cows than common cloven having more juicy stems and leaves which do not rattle off the stems so easily as red clover. If the claims are made good, the department will do good work in sending out samples for general testing. Seeds of promising novelties like this Russian clover are better worth trying than u bushel of ordinary mixed garden seeds sent odt under the old style congressional distribution. Homemade Stock Food. The farmer can prepare a very simple stock food at small cost from the following materials: Pulverised nux vomica, two ounces; iron sulphate, eight ounces; pulverized capsicum, four ounces; fenugreek, eight ounces; sulphur, one pound; common salt, eight ounces; glycyrrhiza root, one pound.'* Mix this with thirty pounds of Old process bilmeal. The dose should be about a tablespoonful twice day for each 1,000 pounds of live weight This preparation may be fed to horses, cattle or hogs which are not doing well. Those showing rough hair and an inability to lay on flesh, no matter bow much feed is given them, need a stock food similar to the above.—Chicagolnter Ocean.
