Boston Is Lukewarm
Few Allusions Made to the Life and Death of McKinley.
BOSTON, Sept. 14.—Little departure
from customary services was made in Boston churches to-day, so that the occasion
could scarcely be termed McKinley day. Here and there a pastor referred to the
national calamity a year ago, but through lack of concerted action no memorial
sermons, strictly speaking, were preached. While there was no general observance
of the anniversary in other parts of New England, most of the pastors alluded
feelingly to the event.
In Providence James B. Parker, the colored waiter
who is said by some to have been the first to seize the assassin Czolgosz when
he shot President McKinley in the Temple of Music at Buffalo, was the principal
speaker at a service held at the People’s A. M. E. Zion Church (colored.) [sic]
