M’Kinley Home

LEFT UNDRAPED, BY ORDER OF JUDGE DAY,
——
In an Effort to Lessen the Burden of the Grieving Wife.

(By Scripps-McRae Press Association.)
CANTON, O., Sept. 18.—No draped flag, no crape, no wreath of flowers marks the McKinley home as a sign of death. It is probable that no symbol will be placed on the house, unless at the last minute. Bailey, the gardener, who has charge of the house and grounds, was ordered by Judge Day to prepare everything just as he always did “when the Major was coming home.” It was argued that any sign of mourning would affect Mrs. McKinley grievously upon her return home, and arrangements were made that her home-coming be as tender as possible under the sad conditions.
