OUR STRICKEN RULER. The Véperafile Mother of President McKinley Dead. | The End Conies Painlessly in the Early Sabbt;th Dawn—Her Distinguished Son and Other ol _ Children Present. “ Canton, 0., Dec. 13.—Nancy Allison MeKinley, the aged mother of président McKinley passed away at 2:08 o’clock Sunday morning. The nation’s chief executive, the son whom she had lived to see in the white house, was at ler bedside for hours before the end ‘came. The mother passed away with her hand in his, but the end was marked by the unconsciousness that denotes paralysis from acute old age. The death scene was a touching and impressive' one. The members of the McKinley family, including children, grandchildren and other relatives, were grouped about the bedside, and as the hours of the night wore on it wasfrealized that the ;sufferer could not live until daylight..! President McKinley was a constant’' attendant at his mother’s side, and vainly tried to secure some signs of recognition. - ' Shortly after midnight-a change'was noticed in the condition of the fast sinking patient, and those who watched the flickering of the. vital spark saw that the end was at hand. The deep, palsied sleep in which she had lain for hours grew more deathlike. Physicians and relatives could do nothing but watch for the final flight of the spirit.. The president held: one withered hand in both his own, and Bent low over the face of the dying wcman. [At eight minutes past two there came a sigh, and the breath, hardly noticeable for hours. ceased. Nancy Allison }\lgKinlegy was dead. | s

About the sacred couch, now the bier of the mother who -had rounded out a long life of usefulness, were the children and other relatives. Around the deathbed when the final scere was enacted were President McKinley, his wife, Mr. Abner McKinley, Mrs. Duncan and Miss Helen McKinley, children of the aged woman whose life breath had been hushed forever, whose tongue had taken on-thé eternal palsy. The aged sister was there, Mrs. Abigail Osborne, the only one: of the Allison family now living. Mrs. Bowman, of Lorain; Misses Grace and Mabel M¢Kinley, James MeKinley, Miss Duncan and Jack Duncan, grandchildren, were all in the sad party that witnessed the last breath of the noble parent. The end came withouta struggle. It was a sleep whose significance could not be mistaken. President McKinley remained at the bedside for an hour or more, and was then persuaded to take some rest from his long and painful vigil. - 2 It is a coincidence that Mrs. McKinley died at almost the identical hour of the day as did her husband on Thanksgiving five years ago. President McKinley remained up until'about 3:30 o’cleck, a littlemorethan an hour after the death, and then retired for a few hours’ sleep. During the forenoon he and his'brother spent the greater part of an hour walking about the more secluded streets mear; home, securing much needed exercise and fresh air. ‘The president was greatly refreshed by the experience, although even before he seemed little the worse physically for the trying ordeal of the past days, duringwhich;exceptwhenhewentto Washington to attend to official duties, he kept an almost constant vigil at the bedside of his mother. In'the afternoon the president and Abner McKinley drove to.beautiful West Lawn ceme-+ tery., about a mile west of the home, to attend personally to-arrangements for the .ihterngnt, which will be made in the family lot where lie the remains of the husband and father and which adjoins the lot which for more than 20 years has contained .the bodies of the two children of the president and .his? ‘wife, under carefully-kept mounds that are strewn with.flowers whenever the parents come to Canton, The presi‘dent tenderly and tearfully laid clusters of flowers on the graves while the site of the mother’s resting place was being selected. - ]

Messages of condolencé are pouring into the telegraph office from all quarters, and many friends have already’ called at the house to offer sympathy. Mrs. McKinley came of a family whiah was transplanted from England to the hills of Virginia. The -Allisog family subsequently removed to 'G‘re?i county, Pa., where Abner Allison, Nancy’s father, was| born, and where he married Ann Campbell,! of Scotch-German descent. Early in the| present century Mr. and Mrs. Allison came from Pennsylvania to Columbiana county, this state, traveling by pack HKorses. In 1809, near the present city of Lisbon, Nancy| Allison was born. Her girlhood was passed; ‘on the farm, and in 1827 she married William McKinley, a young iron manufacturer. The couple first lived at Fairfield, and afterward at Niles and Poland before removing to- Canton. Nine children were| born to them. They were: David Allison, deceased; ‘Am‘la, deceased; James, ' de-| ceasgd; Mary, deceased; Helen Minerva, now living at Canton; Sara Elizabeth, now the wife of A. J. Duncan, of Cleveland; William, the president; Abigail Celia, de+ ceased, and Abner, whose home is in New York. William McKinley, Sr., died in November, 1892, at the age of 85 years. When President McKinley entered congress over 20 years ago he was from - his .mother much of the time until he retired from congress to make the canvass for governor in 1891. During his service from 1892 to 1896 as governor, he went to Canton frequently to visit his mother and he was with her from January, 1896, until he went to Washington| last Mqrch. Previous to entering public life the president was always located near his parents and spent much time with them. ~ - © "Receives $930 for an Hye.

WEYLER EAGER FOR WAR. 1 Willing to Lead 'a Spanish 'For‘cej e Agains;t United States. . Madrid, Dec. 13.—Gen. Weyler said Saturday at Barcelona that, considering Spain®s military and naval strength and the courage of her soldiers, she had nothing to fear from a ‘war with the United States. Gen. Weyler continued:™ “If such'a war, becomes necessary, I will consider it my greatist military glory to take command of a military expedition, against the United States. Tfapprove the language of the papers hostile to McKinley’s message, but I think that even they are too cold in i[heir censures. Never have such insults as|those of McKinley against the representatilve of an army of a friendly: nation remameqll unpunished.”’ .

Gen. Weyler said tnat in defense of his campaign and honor of the army in Cuba he would ask the government to publish the diplomatic notes exchanged with the United States, chiefly one sent by Premier Canovas on the 4th of August, this year. As regards the leadership of the new Xobledoist party, he said, he did not want it.: Robledo had been very wise in proclaiming himself the leader ad interim only. = Circumstances alone could decide who would be the leader., — * ° :

Madrid, Dec, 13.—Lieut. Gen. Weyler arrived heré Eunday afternoon. He was received at the platform by Gen. Azcarraga, foxi'mer premier; Gen. Borrero, former (Fommander of the Sixth army corps, and by a number of republicans, Carlist‘;, conservatives and Robeldoists. As he alighted from the train they Che;red him and then carried him shoulder high to the entrance of the railway sjation, where he took a carriage and |'was rapidly driven off. There was no further incident, the public appearing (indifferent. The partisans of Gen. Weyler pretend that a crowd of 8,000 people tendered him an ovation with shouts of “Long live Weyler!” “Death |to the Yankees!” and the like. He will .be received by the queen regent-to-day. )

- ABOUT THE FASHIONS. Tt is a great mistake to put 60 much handsome trimming on.a hat. A little of a better quality produces a better effect. . : i The dolman style of wrap is like]y to have a rather unwelcome reception. It is so difficult to move one’s arms when wearing a garment of this sort that it would be small wonder if sensible women wefused to accept the fashion, There is nothing more iecoming to the average woman than a hat made of dark velvet. When loosely laid over the frame and caught down with brilliant pins or jewels and finished with a little very rich trimming it is the ideal headgq’ar. - : = - Theater sraps are elegant and elaborate in the extreme. They are immersely large and full, and as profusely trimmed as 'the most extravagant ball costume. Velvet, plush and brocadeare th’e favorite materials, and fur, lace and r\ichin’gs the approved-garniture. |The shoulder cape wrap still contig%nues in style, and probably has secured a place that will make it difficult to supplant it. It is comfortable, easily put on and very stylish. Such wraps are bécoming to almost every woman, even the stoutest being able to wear them if p;i‘oper]y modified and shaped to the figure. oR e S Rl T
