President McKinley Dies From Assassin's Wounds
WILLIAM MCKINLEY, twenty-fifth President of the United States, died Saturday morning at half-past two o’clock, at the residence of the president of the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo, from the effects of the bullet wounds given him a week before by the anarchist Czolgosz. At his death there is universal sorrow throughout the civilized world. No former President, not excepting Washington and Lincoln, ever during his term of office commanded so generally the respect and regard of the American people; and probably no death was ever before so universally mourned throughout the Anglo-Saxon world. President Roosevelt has proclaimed Thursday, September 19, a day of mourning and prayer throughout the United States. A week of mourning has been ordered at the court of King Edward VII.
