Furthermore, We arc informed thatb ti Saturday a member of the faculty asked that the meeting ho' suspOuded under the pres­ ent circumstances. The reply was that the Invitations had nil been tent out previous to McKinley’s death and that the cakes wore" all baked and consequently it wotild he impossible to recall the invitations, as some had gone even into the classic precincts of Jamestown and the borough of Clif­ ton.

ALMOST MOBBED, Clarence M, Jones, proprietor of the Columbia Press-Post, came near being mobbed a t his place of business last Saturday. -Two, editions of this paper contained both editorials and headlines referring to the dead Presi­ dent in a mander offensive to-a grief- stricken people. When the boys start­ ed out with the bundles for city de­ livery the excited crowd made a V ub I i fo f the ptfperg. nud nrndh a-bonfire of them in the street. This was kept up uutil..there were up more papers to burn, and then the croWd threatened to wreck, the plant and mob the pro­ prietor. The employes had all left ’the building ’and Mr. Jones Was1there alone. H e,/ realizing the .situation, telephoned the police. Chief Tyler arrived aud addressed1 the crowd, ap­ pealing to them tp disperse. Sur­ rounded by a half-dozen .officers, Mr. Jones was landed inti hack and driven away. ’ ,A "■'* The' police' were, powerless and a large sign was torn from the front of the building and soon' red(iced to kindling, and another fire started.

The memorial Exercises, as held In the opera house Thursday morning, were indeed the most impressive that* were ever known to even onr older citizens. The house was filled to the doors with citizens who had come to pay their respects to the honored dead, The best of order was observed^ Even the young folks eeemed to realize the intention of the meetings, and showed their respect by giving tlie best qf at­ tention, The halj had’been fitly dec- ocrated with mourning, here and there a likeness of our martyred Pres­ ident. , - Mpyor Wolford acted as speaker for the citizens.
