McKinley Mask Finished.

After two months’ work a cast from the death-mask of President McKinley, taken on the morning of his death, was finished Monday at Buffalo. The mask has been carefully guarded, being kept in a safety deposit vault When not in the hands of Edward LaPauch, an expert mask-maker from Hartford, Conn. The mask is the property of the federal government. Next week it will be taken to Washington, where for a time it will be shown to the public at the Smithsonian institution. It was the express order of the government that no photograph of the mask should be taken.
