McKinley Memorial Fund.

At a meeting of the trustees of the McKinley National Memorial Association, which is engaged in raising a fund for the construction of a memorial at Conton, Ohio, Treasurer Herrick and Secretary Ritchie made reports and returns were received from state and territorial auxiliaries. While reports from some sections were not encouraging, the trustees on the whole are much pleased with the results thus far obtained in the effort to raise the amount needed, viz., 8650,000. This figure, it is explained, comprehends the establishment of an endowment fund, the proceeds of which are for the care, guarding and preservation of the memorial.
