DALTON. Mass.. Sept. R. President
Roosevelt took notice of his return vis
It to Massachusetts by delivering nt
Fitchburg another speech on the trust
question in order Unit he might fully
answer his critics nnd to more clearly
define his attitude on that subject. He
also launched Into n defense of the ur
my in the Philippines during his speech
at Springfield. The Impression had
gone forth that any viown he might
express regnrdlng the acquisition of
territory by the United States would be
sure to bo coldly received, but the
demonstration!! of npprovnl which
greeted his utterances dispelled this
Ijlen.
Governor Crane entertained the pres
ident overnight. The town was beau
tifully illuminated, red, white and blue
lights being displayed everywhere.
President Roosevelt was greeted by
more than 75.01 HI people In Springfield,
fully a third of whom heard hliu de
liver nn address In Court square. The
presidential train arrived late at 0:011
p. m., and, with Mayor Ralph V. E1IN
In charge, the party was driven In
carriages to the United States armory.
Lieutenant Colonel F. II. Phipps, com- j
lnanilant, directed the firing of a sa
lute of twenty-one guns, und then the
president visited the armory otlice.
Through streets Jammed, with peo
ple he was then driven to Court squnre,
where about 'J.'i.(HN) people wire gath
ered. Directly in front of the stand
stood throe companies of the Second
Massachusetts regiment, which camped
beside the rough riders at Santiago.
To these the president spoke directly
many times. He dwelt particularly
upon the duty of American citizens to
respect the soldiers lighting the war
fare of n tropical Jungle and subject
to many temptations, taking this sub
ject because Sprlngtield is the home of
some of the well known clitics of the
Philippine campaign.
Afterward he addressed the Grand
Army veterans at their headquarters,
speaking from his carriage.
The lirst important stop of Presi
dent Roosevelt after he had resinned
his travels through Massachusetts was
at Fitchburg, where he found the peo
ple keeping u general holiday. A stop
of an hour was made, and the presi
dent delivered an address, thousands
of people being iissemblod to hear him.
A one minute stop was made nt Er
ving. At Athol ii ml Gardner speeches
also were made. At the latter place
fully lo.itoo people greeted him. Har
vard (lags were everywhere in evi
dence, anil as the president ascended
the platform a number of college boys
gave the college cheer.
At all of the places whore stops were
made the president spoke upon the ne
cessity for good citizenship in order to
be successful in life.

XEW YORK. Sept. l.-The most

track when a crowd of lio.ooo persons
witnessed the victory of the western
stock speculator, John A. Drake, with
the colt Savablo after a brilliant head
ami head linish with August Belmont's
home bred colt Lord of the Vale. The
two were alone In front, struggling
inch by Inch to the winning post, with
the Belmont colt In front to within
one Jump of the finish, where Savable
got up and by a scant nose won the
greatest prize of the turf and countless
thousands of dollars In bets for the
western crowd, who followed the
Drake-Gates-Duiine plunge on the
winner. Far to the rear llulshed the
best of the two-year-olds of the east
ern millionaires, James R. and Foxhall
P. Koene getting the least share of the
big stake with the filly of their own
breeding, Dazzling.

of n tirent Truth.
Several years ngo there labored In
one of the western villages of Minne
sota n preacher who was always In the
habit of selectinii his texts from the
did Testament and particularly some
portion of the history f Xoiili. No
matter what the occasion was, he
would always find some parallel Inci
dent from the history of this crcat
character that would readily servo us
n text or Illustration.
At one time -he was called upon to
unite the daughter of the village lun.v
or and a prominent attorney In the
holy bonds of matrimony. Two little
hoys, knowing- his determination to
lilvo them n portion of the sacred his
tory tonchlni; Noah's inariiaue, hit
upon the novel idea of pasting together
two leaves In the family Bible so as to
connect, without any apparent break,
the ninrrhiffc of Noah and the descrip
tion of the ark of the covenant.
When the noted pilosis were all as
sembled nnd the contracting- parties
with attendants in their respective sta
tions, tho preacher began the eereiiut
nies by reading; the following text:
"And when Noah was one hundred and
forty years old he took unto himself
a wife," then, turning the page, he
continued, ".'tuo cubits In length, Th)
cubits In width and .'Hi cubits In depth
oiul within and without besmeared
with pilch." The story seemed a little
strong, but he could not doubt the Bi
ble, and, after reading It once more
nnd reflecting a moment, he turned to
the startled assemblage with these re
marks, "My beloved brethren, tills is
the tlrst time in the history of my life
that my attention has been culled to
this important passage of the Scrip
tures, but It seems to me that it Is one
of the most forcible Illustrations of
that grand eternal truth that the na
ture of woman Is exceedingly diltleult
to comprehend. Starlight Messenger.

The value of odd minutes Is illus
trated by a story told In a curious lit

for one of Its departments and ap
pointed 12 o'clock for arrangement of
terms with the selected applicant. He
nriived at five minutes past I'J, to find
n dozen directors waiting, the chair
ninn watch In hand. The chairman
announced that they could not engage
a subordinate who had wasted an hour
of his employers time, and on the ap
plicant deprecating such exaggeration
the chairman explained that each di
rector had wasted five minutes nnd
that made un hour in nil.

It is said of George Eliot's literary
style that its most marked character
istic is sympathy. And long beforo
her Identity had become known Charles
Dickens, a singularly acute critic of
ids own art, detected her sex by this
underenrrent of womanly sympathy.
He had been reading "Scenes of Cler
ical Life," which had been sent to him
by the publisher, and on putting tho
book aside he said, "Well, this writer
possesses( jjreat ability, but I should
say, despite tho name, that George
Eliot is a woman."

Death From the Filling in Her Teoth-
Mrs. Opie Rolfe, of Luzerne bor
ough, dieil in the Wilkcsbarrc City
Hospital from a severe anil peculiar
attack of blood poisoning. Several
weeks ago she came to Wilkesbarre
anil had her teeth filled and capped.
A few days aftetwards her tcclh began
to ache and her mouth to swell. She
applied local remedies, but they
brought her little relief. Finally her
limbs began to swell and pain her ex
cruciatingly, while at the same time
everything that she ate had a metallic
taste. She also suffered terrible pain
in her stomach.
Her physician told her that she was
suffering from metal poisoning, due to
the filling in her teeth, which he said
was not gold, but brass. Mrs. Rolfe
was at once taken to the City Hospital
but in a few days she died from the
elTects of the metal poisoning.

llright Prospects
The Milton Record says: "Years
ago an expert oil man said that the
day would come when Milton would
leai Bradford as an oil town. His
piediction may come true. Land has
been leased in this immediate vicini
ty and a company is in (01 tnnt ion
that will bore for oil and find it,
too and the long delerrt d boom
will airive. Wells have been sunk
north, east and south of town and
natural gas may supply the hard coal
consumer, while an entirely new pipe
line may tiansport the oil to the sea
board. Heie's luck to the enterptisc.
