'The awe» strlekon crowds alt moved as by ,a com- ; mon fmpulso toward the old familiar Mc- : Ainley cottigo whore the remaing were (dying. Military guards stationed at tho ' four cornors of the lawn preed their : boats, but there was no other sign of | life about the houso of death, 'The win- «low shndes wore down, A long border . of black fringed the roof of the porch. No badge of conventional mourning was on the door. Instead there was a simple wreath of palms bisocted by a benutiful ; band of wide purple satin ribbon, Sor- ; rowfully the throngs turned away, the ; people to tike up thelr positions at the ; ahurch, the ropresontatives to soek their ; places Iu the Imposing procession which was to follow the remains to the come | tery. \_ Within the chamber of death all was | dutonsoly aflont, 'The curtains wore | wloscly drawn, with no ray of gas to Hight [fp tho melancholy scene. The guards : stood motionless at their posts, a soldfer | gt the hoad of the casket and a sailor -with drawn cutlass at the foot. Thus \ throughout the morning the vast multi- : tado surged without, while the sllence within was broken only by the weeping . of broken-hearted 'Mrs. McKinley. |_ As the timo appronched for bearing the body of the dead president from the Mc- . Kinley home to the church the little cot- | tage: on North Market street was the | conter of a vast concourse of people, | Regiment after regimont of soldiers, act« | Ing as guards, wore In triple lines from | qurbs bacle to the Iawns. The walks had |. . 6 u. cmon ' « | beeu efeared and the multitude took ret- uge on the great sweep of lawns of the city forming a solid of humanity surg- | Ing to the lines of soldiers, In front of the McKinley cottage were drawn up the two rigid files of body-beavers-cight sailors of the navy and cight soldiers of the urmy, awaiting the order to go with- in ar d take up the casket. President and Cabinet Arrive. Just at 1 o'clock the black chargers of thr Clevelind troop swept down the street. their riders four abreast, in their brilfant huzesr uniform with flags pouyd in crepe and every saber hilt bearing its fluttering emblem of mourning. 'Eheir coming wus the signal for the approach of President Itoosevelt aud the members of the cabinet, The presidential party maved up the walk to the entrance of the honse and formed a group to the left. 'The prosident's face looked very grave, and he stood silently with uncovered head awaiting the body of the dead chicf- tain. Beside him stood the members of «he cabinet,. Lieutenant General Miles, ta the full uniform of his high rank, with sword at side and band of crepe about his nem, stood alongside the members of tel cabinct, and with him were Major (ioneral Brooke, Major General, Otis, Mujor General MacArthur and Brigadier General Gillespie. Across from them was tuuged Rear Admiral Farquhar, roprosenting . Admiral | Dewey, 111.111:- ing head of the navy; Rear Admiral Crownlushield, Rear Admiral | O'Neill, teat Admiral Kenney and Brigadier (ieenral Wood, the latter commander-fn- chict of the Marine corps. Just fnside the gate stood > the civilian honorary ovni, in double line, including Governor Nash of Ohio, Governor Caldwell, Judge Williams of the Ohio supreme court, Houry B. McFarland, president of the commissioners of the District of Colum- bins Mayor Dicht of Buffalo; Judge Day, the life-long friend of the president; Mr. Milburn, at whose house he died, and others in civil life near and dear to the dead chict. As the presidential party ciume up the black chargers of Troop A swung info battalion front, facing the house. nnd the long line of flashing sa- bres advanced to salute, Now the peal of the church bells be- gan and cvery steeple in Canton gave its dolovous plaint. A brief private service had been held within the darkened cham- ber, In. Manchester saying a prayer while the relatives gathered around and Mrs. McKinley listened from the balf- open door of her adjoining room. Taken From Home For Last Time, \The double file of the body-bearers now stepped into the room and raising the flag-wrepped casket to their shoulders, bore it through the open entrance. A soleum hush fell upon the multitude as the bearers advanced with measured tread. Not a bugle blast went up: not m strain of the hymns the dead ruler had loved so well went up. 'The scene was majestic in its silence. 'Tenderly the collin was committed to the hearse, and the silence was broken as the order to march passed from officer to officer. 'The great procession now took up its mournful journey, passing under .the sweop of glant arches robed in black, between two living tides of humanity massed slong the streets, covering house- tops and filling the windows. The church bells still were tolling, mingling their dismal tones with the cadence of the feneral dirge. Preceding the funeral car and fomning the first division rode General Lorrance, national commander of the (¢. A, R., with a long line of griz- zled veterans, After them moved the National (Guard of the state of Ohio, under command of General Charles A. Dick, Thon enme the solemn funeral cortege, the president's favorite com- mand, Troop A., riding ahead. At either gide of the hearse marched the guard of milltary and naval honor, the generals on tho right and tho admirals on the left \Then came the loug line of carriages for the relatives and friends, and after them the infiumerable military and civic organ- zations that had assembled to pay. this last honor to the fallen chief. At the church entrance were draws up deep files of soldiers, with bayonets ad- varced, keeping a clear area for the ad- vancing casket and the long train of mourners. The hearse halted while Pres- ident Roogevelt and members of the cab- Inet alighted, Again they grouped them- solves at cither side.-of the entrance, and with uncovered heads awaited the pass- {ug casket, Then the flower-covered cofllt was brought from the hearse and as it passed within the black-draped eutrance, the president and his cabinet followed within the edifice. The mour- | vers, too, passed inside, but the stricken widow was not among them. President's Pow Draped in Black. 'The generals and admirals of the army aud nivy, who comprised the guard of honor, in their resplendant uniforms, fol- lowed the body and occupied the first pew on cither side of the center nigle. President Roosevelt and the cabinet came slowly after. All were in black and wore black gloves. The pres- ident alone had on an overcont. his pluce immediately behind Lieutenant Goi cral Miles, next the center aisle in the second pew to the eastward. Secre- tary Cortelyou, Justice McKenua of the supreme court, John M. Milburn and John N. Seatcherd of Buffalo and sever- al others took seats immediately in the rear of the cabinet. 'Then followed the mourning rolatives, who occupied the 'tler of pews in the left of the center algsle. Mr. and Mrs. Abner McKinley led the way, followed by other im- mediate relatives and a few close per- sonal friends. The fourth pew from the front, that aways occupied by President McKinley, was draped im black and remained va- cant, After these had been seated the door leading into the Sabbath school was opened and the seats arranged be- low, as well as those in the balcony, were soon dilled with the representatives of various organizations and the fellow- townsmen who brought into the church the tattered battleflags the regiment had carried throughout the civil war. SERVICES AT THE CHURCH Hymns, Praysr, An Address and Bone- diction By Ministers of Three De- nominations. 'The services in the church were sim- ple. They began with the rendition of an organ prelude, Beethoven's funeral march, played by Miss Florence Douds. As the last notes of the prelude were stilled, the Muterpean Ladies' Quartet of Canton sang \The Beautiful Isle of Somewhere.\ Rev. O,. B. Milligan, pas- tor of the First Presbyterian church of Canton, delivered the invocation, which was as follows: . \O God, our God, our nation's God; Thou Ciod and Father of our Lord Je: aug Christ, the father of mercies and God of all comfort; we have entered the He took | courts of the House today with bowed and burdened hearts. In Thy inscruta- ble providence Thou hast permitted this great calamity to come upon us. Truly \Thy ways are in the deep and Thy paths in the mighty waters. We bow in meek» ness before this exhibition of Thy sov- ereignty and own 'Thy right to do as Thou wilt in the armies of Heaven and amongst the sous of men. But blessed be Thy name; Thy sovereignty over as is the sovercignty over love. Thou art our father and 'like as a father pitieth his children, so the Lord pitieth them that fear Him.' Thou hast so revealed Thyself to us in Thy word, but especially in Jesus Christ, who was the brightness of Thy glory and the express image of Thy person. Therefore, O Lord, we can the more cheerfully submit to the doing of Thy hand and heart. ® \We can say with him, whom we so deeply mourn, 'This is God's way; His will be done-not ours,! and whilst we cannot understand Thy gracious purpose in this dispensation, help us, Lord, to wait in patient confidence, assured that Thou, who are Thy own interpreter, will reveal Thy thoughts of peace and pur- poses of mercy in this great mystery. In this spirit help us to accept this prov- idence and still to trust Thee. We thank Thee, O Lord, for this life which has been taken so rudely from us. We thank Thee for Thy servant's endowments and achievements. We thank Thee for the evidences that he was chosen of Thee for the great purposes in this world and for the splendid way in which by Thy grace those purposes were wrought outin his life. Adorned by Thee, we thank 'Thee for what he was in himself in his home, in society, in church and state and national relations, We bless Thee for the inspiration of his example and we rejoice that, though dead, his influ- ence for good will forever live among us.\ Blessed by Thy name, in the temple of American honor another is written imong the immortals. Help us all, O Lord, to see in his life the divine possi- bilities of life and then strive for a like fidelity as we go forward to meet life's appointment. Youchsafe, we pray Thee, all needful blessings to our nation in this season of sore bereavement,. Thou knowest, O God, how this blow has struck every heart; how this sorrow pierces every soul. 'The nation is dotted 4 with sackcloth and bowed with grief. Our land is full of mourning, our hearts are heavy with an inexpressible and al- most unendurable sorrow. \Surely Thou hist stricken us in Thy sore displeasure for Thou dost not af- flict willingly; Thou dost not delight in punishment. Ob, that Thou wouldst help us to search our hearts to seek out even the hidden depths and springs of wicked- ness, to rid us of the evil, that the sub- blime. things we hope for in our nation's future may be realized. And until we have discovered the evil and rooted it out, let not Thy goodness depart from us. © For Presldpnt and Widow. \In afflicting, O Lord, be merciful. Remember sins against us and visit us in theplentitudeof Thy grace. Vouchsafe, we pray Thee, the fulness of Thy grace to Thy servant who has so unexpectedly heen inducted into the responsibil- ities of the chief magistrate. May he be endowed with all needed gifts to administer the government to Thy glory and the welfare of this great people. Give him Thy. protection from secret foes and unworthy friends. Fill his heart with Thy fear and give tim the | confidence and love of the nation. \And now, O Lord, trustfully do we commit to Thy infinitely tender and gra- cious care, her who has been most bit- terly bereaved. Tender as are our hearts toward her in this sad hour, pass- ing tender as was her husband's heart toward her, as together they passed through all the scenes of joy and sorrow which were appointed them in life, may the heart of God be more tender still, Bind her round with the sufficient con- | solations of Thy grace; and as by faith she leans upon the unseen arm of the infinite may she ever find Thee a present help in time of need. - \Sanctify this dispensation to us all. May we hear in it the voice of the eter- nal spring. 'All flesh is grass and all the goodliness thereof is the flower of the field. The grass withereth, the flower fadeth, but the word of our God will stand forever' Help us that we may diligently improve this Providence to our growth in grace and in the saving knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. By Thy grace, dear Lord, prepare us all for life's duties and trials of the solem- nities of death and for a blessed immor- tality. These and every other needed blessing we plead for in the name of Him who taugh us to pray.\ The 19th Psalm was read by Dr. John 4. Hall of the Trinity Lutheran church of Canton, and that portion of the 15th chapter of First Corinthians included between the 41st and 5§th verses was read by Rev. M. P. Herbrouck of the Trinity Reformed church of Canton. The favorite hymn of President McKinley, \Lead Kindly Light,\ was then ren- dered by a mixed quartet. When his hymn had been finished Dr. C. E. Manchester, pastor of the First Methodist church, delivered his address, *At the conclusion of Dr. Manchester's discourse Bishop I. W. Joyce of Minne- apolis delivered a short prayer. 'The hymn, \Nearer My God, to Thee,\ was sung by the entive congrega- tion. The people remained standing af- ter the close of the hymn while the ben- ediction was pronounced by Father Valt-« man of the Twenty-ninth United States infantry, . The casket was then borne from the church to the funeral car ° and the march of the procession to the cemetery began. MARCH TO THE GRAVE. Entire Length of Route Lined With Sol- diers-Sobs Only Broke Stillness as Cortege Passed. - It was after 3 o'clock when the silent and anxious throngs outside the church saw the solemn pageant reappear through the church doors. First came the guard of military and naval honor, the generals ard admirals, forming in double line leading from the entrance to waiting hearse. Again the flag-draped casket with wealth of flowers appearc« and was committed to the hearse. The president and members of the cabinet followed arm in arm and stepped into the waiting carriages. 'The relatives en- tered carriages next. Then the squadron of troopers broke from their battalion front and wheeling into platoons took up the marth to grave. In the long line of carriages were United States senators and members of the house of represen- tatives from every section of the coun- try, -justices of the United States su- preme court, the ranking heads of the army and navy, governors of states, ard mayors of cities and the dead president's women: 2 .e fellow-townsmen. _ The line of the funeral march from the church to the cemetery was about one and one-half mile in length, The route was north on Puscarawas street from the church to Lincoln street, west on Lincoln street to West Third street and north one square to the gates of the cemetery. Wor hours before the time set for the commencement of the funeral exercises at the McKinley home the streets along the entire length of the line of march were crowded with spectators. From the gates of the cemetery to the doors of the church there was on each side of t: street an almost unbroken line of soldiers and on all the intersecting streets de- tachments of the militia were posted about 100 feet from the thoroughfare on which the cortege was to go and no- body was permitted to pass in either di- rection. As the funeral car passed through the streets men and women sobbed convuk sively and at the cemetery gates, where the crowd was densely packed, and where the people had remained for hours pressing agaivast the iron fence. It was a wonderful tribute of surpassing love that was rendered in his native place to the memory of William McKinley and it will be long before greater or more reverent honor is paid to any man. Arrival at the Cemetery, ' At 3:80 o'clock the detachment df mounted police heading the parade came slowly to the cemetery gates, Behind them came the Grand Army. band of Canton and the solemn notes of \Nearer My God, to Thee,\ swelling out, as it came up the driveway: Behind the band came the Cirand Army posts, fully 500 of the veterans marching by. As thes passed along the flowerstrewn path many of them were weeping bitterly and they stopped by dozens to gather the blossoms which lay at their feet, and carried them away as mementoes. From the first carriage that stopped at the foot of the walk leading up to the vault, President Roosevelt and Comman- der Cowles of thenavy alighted. Without waiting for those in the second carriage, which contained Secretaries Root and Gage and. Attorney General Knox, the president walked slowly toward the vault and took a position on the south side of the walk close to the door. The mem- bers of the eabinet ranged themselves by the side of the president. Within a minute after the formation of the lines the funeral car came up to the walk. It was gently lifted from the hefrse and borne to the door of the vault, where it was rested upon the cat- afalque. It was carried by the same men of the army and navy who have carried it ever since it left Buffalo. Be- fore them, as it came up the walk, walked Colonel Bingham, who had been aide to President McKinley. Just as the bearers lowered it to the catafaique Ab- ner McKinley and Mrs. Barber alighted from their carriage and stood at the foot of the line of officers. They remained here for a few seconds, find then passed up to the foot of the casket where they remained during the brief services. Bishop Joyce of Minneapolis read the burial service of the Methodist church slowly, but in a voice that could be heard distinctly by all who were grouped around the vault.. As his words ended there was a brief pause, for it had been understood that a quartet of the Knights Templar was to be present to render a hymn. Through a misunder- standing, however, it had not arrived and' after satisfying himself of. this fact, Colonel Bingham waved his hand to eight buslers of the Canton band who had taken station upon the side of the mound above and to the south of the vault, Instantly from the eight bugles rang out the notes of the soldiers' last call-\taps.\ It was beautifully doue and the last notes of the buglers died away so softly that all who heard it re- mained listening for a few seconds to hear if it was really ended. When the last note had floated away, Secretary Wilson was in tears. Secretary Hitchcock was weeping, and the presi- dent was gazing grimly at the walk. It was the last moment for the mien who had been so closely associated with the president for so long and the thought seemed greater than most of them could bear. When all was ended Captain Biddle stepped up to a line of five soldiers post- ed just north of the doorway. One of them passed quickly into the vault, take ing station at the head of the casket, another placed himself at the foot and three men stood in the doorway, two on the lower step and a third on the floor of the vault directly behind them. There they remained until after the passage of the funeral procession. The president, the members of the cab- inet and the officers of the army and navy then entered their carriage and followed by the members of the family passed out of the cemetery andreturned to the city. 'The delay caused by. the services at the vault being over, the procession resumed its martch, The darkness was gathering fast as the Knights Templars sang several hymns, and many in <the multitude around the casket were moved to tears and the sound of sobs was distinctly aud- ible in the crowd that lined the fence be- yond the line of guardsmen. The last of the procession passed the bier at 5:45, und then orders were given by Captain Biddle that the cemetery should be cleared. The order was quickly carried out and the president was left in the care of his guard of honor. The first sentry to be posted in a tour of guaid before the doorway was Private Otto White of Company C, Fourteenth infantry, whose home is in Geneva, O. The guard that will have the honor of guarding the bier of the late president is Company C of the Fourteenth regi- ment. It is commanded (by Captain Captain T. S. Biddle, Jr., First Lieuten- ant F. S. Avery, Second Lieutenant William: Ashbridge. The company in- clvies 76 non-commissioned men and was ordered to Canton Wayne, Detroit. Nature has been kind in selecting the last resting place for President MeKii- ley. West Lawn cemetery is on a hich knoll overlooking the peaceful valley with the busy little city of Canton laid out below. If ié were not for an inter- vening church spire, one might get from: this elevation a glimpse of the McKin- ley home. Here looking out on his na- | tive city and his native state the body of Mr. McKinley was laid to rest, The beauty of the grounds had attracted the attention of the country's (best land- seape gardeners who have journeyed here to study its attractions. Just inside the stately entrance stands the gray stone vault, where for a time the casket will repose. But in due time it will be taken from the vault and com- mitted to the little plot of ground lying further on. This is the McKinley lot and here lies his father, whose name he The Woman's Choice. 'Will She Choose Dr. Experi- ment or Dr. Experience? Put the question plainly to any woman: Will you choose the experienced or the experimenting doctor? and there's no doubt about the answer. What woman wants to be the subject of experiments, to drag out weary months while the unskilled practitioner vainly tries various medicines, and charges the sick woman liberally for his experimental failures? Yet willing or unwilling a great many women have to go through just such an ordeal. - Their disease baffles the local physician. - He tries all he knows to effect a cure and fails. Sometimes this eral o Ad) ///// i uf) (m) _ [ goes on for months, sometimes for years, the woman meantime suffering daily torments. _ Perhaps the difference between the \doctoring\ of experiment and experi« ence cannot be better shown than in the following statement : . . © \For seven years I was confined to bed most of the time,\ writes Mrs. M. P. Davis, of Honaker, Russell Co., Va. \I had four doctors and they said. I could not be cured; I had ulceration of uterus and female weakness, so I could not stand on my feet but a short time; had bearing-down sensation, pain in the small of my back.. My stomach and bowels, also legs and feet would swell, and everything I ate hurt me. I could not sleep well, was so short of breath I could not lie down at night; had sore- ness and tenderness over uterus, toubled with palpitation of heart, and suffered with headache all the time. I would et blind and havé fainting spells, had gar}: rings around my eyes and -my eyes seemed bloodshot; suffered from pain- ful periods ;. could not lie on my left side, I would have numb spells, pains around my heart every morning, my lungs hurt me a great deal and my shoulders too. I woulirspit up blood at times, memory was poor, hearing was bad, hands and feet were cold all the time, and I had chills and night-sweats. After the doc- tors said I could not be cured I got hold 'of one of Dr. Pierce's Memorandum Books and read how he had cured so many patients afflicted like I was so I thought his medicine might help-me. - I wrote to Dr. «Pierce for advice and he sent me a very encouraging letter in reply, advising me to take his ! Favorite covery' and ' Pleasant Pellets, I got two bottles and used these and felt much better. I sent and got six bottles more. I can mow work all day and fot feel tired at night. T'can sleep all night and | can eat anything I want at any time, I can walk and go anywhere I pleasé. I feel 'better than I ever did. - Can do all ¥ “7/2 Prescription ' and ' Golden Medical Dis-: kinds of work in the house and out doors too. Z am sorry I did not taks Dr, Pierce's medicine when I first began to have poor health. I could have saved what I paid to humbugs. My friends say that I do not look like the same woman. When I commenced your medicine I only weighed one hundred ounds. Now I weigh one hundred and orty,. I thank you a thousand times for your good medicine and your kind ad. vice. I used four bottles of the 'Golden Medical Discovery* four of (Favorite 'Prescription' and two vials of your © Pleasant Pellets.'\ WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE between experiment and experience in treating womanly diseases? The differ. ence between success ard failure. The difference between health and sickness, happiness and misery. The reason that Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription cures so many women is that it is a medicine which 1s the product of years of experi- _, ence in the treatment apf] and cure -of woman! f diseases. It is a medi- cine made to do certain things and it does what it is made to do. Every oman understands the fine points of this differ- ence between experiment and experience. When the housewife engages a cook she demandsexperi- ] ence.. She does not want d cook who is experi- menting with unfamiliar io recipes. The inexperi- A enced man might say- M Why, there's the cook book. It tells how to make anything. - All 'you've got to do is to § -measure and mix as it I instructs and you can't - :! come out wrong. Can't you? 'The wife knows very much better than that. Given: the best recipe in the world . it takes experience to make _ ' a success of it. 'The dif- ference between the suc- ~ cess of Doctor Pierce's Favorite\ Prescription and the failure of other medicines is the difference of ex- perience. It is no experiment to use Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. for the cure of womanly ills. Experience-the experience of hundreds of thousands of women proclaims that it makes weak women strong and sick women well. ~- 'Thousands of grateful letters have been written to Dr. Pierce. 'They cover cures of every form of womanly disease which is medically curable. They show that «Favorite Prescription.\ is a perfect. regulator, that it dries enfeebling drains; that it healsinflammation and ulceration and cures female weakness.: They prove «Favorite Prescription\ is the best pre- parative for maternity; that it keeps the mother strong and healthy and makes the baby's advent practically painless.
