"He walked in perfect and noble self-control," said Bishop Andrews in his address over the bier of Presi dent McKinley in Washington. "Be vond that," continued the bishop, "this man had somehow wrought in him a great and generous love for his fellowmen." All the world seems to have grasped the truth of this es timate. Unless all the old and reliable signs fail us the football season this year is to be one of the best. There cer tainly promises to be a breaking of records in everything but the style «>f wearing the hair and of the fear fully and wonderfully constructed uniforms, the only predicted change in the latter being that they must he more so. The messages from foreign coun tries in relation to the assault upon the life of President McKinley speak of the crime in varying terms. Kng land refers to it as "infamous," Kus f-ia "ignominious," Greece "terrible," Turkey "heinous," Japan "odious," China "foul," France "treacherous," Germany "execrable," Bolivia "horri ble," and Norway "dastardly." Mrs. Cif.menee Ferlinghetti, aged £3, •who resides at the fashionable Bath Beach, near New York city, has brought suit for divorce on the ground that "when she married him she made the greatest mistake of her life." Fer linghetti represented himself to lie an Italian count, but after the wedding the young American bride found that he was a waiter in a cheap New York restaurant. The moth and the flame. Mrs. Mary lierrv, a wealthy Crip ple Creek widow with an annual in t'ome of $20,000, must serve a term of Jive years in prison. She was arrest ed a year ago on a charge of stealing :i house, was tried, convicted and .sen tenced, and now the supreme court has refused to interfere. It is the old story of human nature—never being satisfied and always reaching out greedy lingers for more and 111 ore. A report submitted to the Interna tional Ecumenical conference of the Methodist church in London shows that there are 24,809,421 adherents of the Methodist faith, and that the total value of the property held throughout the world by the church is $300,000,000, there being 89.057 Methodist churches and 48,3114 Meth odist ministers. It is estimated that during the past ten years the church lias added 2,500,000 members. Mr. Joseph McDuff, of Greenville. Ark., is an iconoclast. In pursuance of the ancient custom, Rev. James Port* r, upon the conclusion of th marriage ceremony, proceeded to kis Mrs. McDuff. Thereupon, Mr. Mc Duff's fist came into violent contact with the minister's jaw, stretching him liinp in the corner of the room. Mr. Porter would not want to be an idol if Mr. McDuff is ft) do the idol tmashing—and that's no idle thought. An Indiana editor returned to the scenes of his boyhood a short time ago and found that the little red nehoolhouse from which lie had been graduated was being used as a hen coop and a pigsty. "We may be mis taken," he says, with evident feel ing, "and we hope we are, but it looks to us that poetry is fast becoming a lost art in this country when a man's alma mater can be yanked around on skids and eventually used as an asy lum lor hogs and old hens." The death of President McKinley should serve as a reminder to writers and talkers to make a sharp dis tinction between the presidency and the occupant of the presidential chair. Criticism of the president should always be respectful of the office and mindful that whatever the president's personal character the fact that lie is the chosen head of the nation entitles him to considerate treatment. (If course, it is hardly conceivable that an utterly unworthy man might be elected president, and it is far from probable. There are all kinds of stories float ing around about the growth of trees, but about the biggest of the whole series comes from West St ockbridge, Mass., where it is alleged may be seen a maple tree which measures 1- feet 3 inches in circumference a foot above the ground. Fifteen feet from the ground there are one or two birch limbs growing, and it is alleged that higher up on the tree are currant and raspberry bushes that bear fruit each year. Massachusetts still "speaks for herself," but that tree story indi cates that she is talking too much. POLICIES OF ROOSEVELT. MioroiiKlily In Acroril %vltli Tlione of th«* l.nlo l'r<*Mlileut Mc- Kinley. Theodore Koosevelt is now president of the United States, He succeeds a president with whom he held the most cordial relations, personally and offi cially, and of whose policies he was the most conspicuous exponent. When Vice President Tyiersucceeded Harrison, in 1841, there was fear of a reversal of party policy. When Fil more succeeded Taylor, in lS4!t, there was doubt as to the at tit ude oft he new president on certain party measures. When Johnson succeeded Lincoln, in ISOS. there was fear on one side that he would go too far, and on the other that he would not go far enough. When Arthur succeeded (larfield, in 18M, the public was disturbed by fears of a change of policy, which, happily, were dispelled. ]!ut in the case of Roosevelt there are no doubts—no fears. In the first ad ministration of President McKinley he held a position that associated him closely with the initiative in carrying out the war policy. All through that administration he was one of the presi dent's most trusted friends and advis ers. When nominated for the vice pres idency he discussed and approved the same policies as were discussed and approved by the candidate for presi dent. The letters of acceptance of McKinley anil Koosevelt were conspicuous for their harmony and for their forceful treatment of distinctively American questions. Mr. Koosevelt's speeches during the campaign of PJOO were mas terly presentations of the expansion. THE PATH HE WILL FOLLOW. * T -~ZzJC' ~ -m s m'mimlcy's k— _r~ - ~ President. Roosevelt —"I wish to state that it shall be my aim to con tinue absolutely unbroken the policy of President McKinley for the peace und prosperity of our beloved country." financial and economic policies of the president. The inaugural addresses of president and vice president were on the same key. The president's message in Decem ber, I'.IOO, emphasized the policies and measures which Roosevelt had dis cussed. As president and vice presi dent the two were in the closest per sonal and official relations. With this record in mind, there can be no suspi cion of a change of policy through the succession of Mr. Koosevelt to the pres idency. lint no possibility of doubt remains when the last public utterances of the two men are compared. In the first week in September Mr. Koosevelt and Mr. McKinley delivered carefully pre pared addresses at Minneapolis and at Buffalo, respectively. JJotli had the dignity of state papers, and t he tragedy that followed gives to each increased significance. A comparison shows that each man had in mind the same high purpose as to the missions of this government, the same determination as to persistence in the policy that has given the I'nited States such prosperity and prestige, and illustrates in a most striking way their unity of thought, their similarity of view as to the possibilities of and confidence in the future of this na tion. Without doubt these two addresses, even before the tragedy at Duffalo, gave comfort and confidence to the American people, and most particular ly to the business and financial inter ests. In his address at Buffalo the presi dent said: "We have a vast and intri cate business, built up through years of toil and struggle, in which every part of the country has its stake, whieh will not permit of either neglect or un due selfishness. "Reciprocity is the natural out growth of our wonderful industrial de velopment under the domestic policy now firmly established. * * * The period of exclusiveness is past. The expansion of our trade and commerce is the pressing problem. Commercial wars are unprofitable. A policy of good **i!l and friendly tr-ide relations will prevent reprisals. Reciprocity treaties are in harmony with the spirit of the time; measures of retaliation are not." Touching on the same point in his Minneapolis speech, Mr. Koosevelt said: "We must continue the policy that has been so brilliantly succi ssful in the past and so shape our economic system as to give every advantage to skill and energy and intelligence of cur farmers, merchants, manufacturers CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1901. when benefits are sought. Through and wage workers, and yet we must al so remember in dealing with other nations that benefits must be given treaty or by direct legislation, it may at least in certain cases become ad vantageous to supplement our present policy by a system of reciprocal benefit and obligation." There is as close a resemblance be tween the public utterances of .Mr. Mc- Kinley and Mr. Koosevelt on the Mon roe doctrine, the expansion policy, ihe Philippine policy, the suppression of disorder, and in fact on every great principle enunciated or policy defined in republican plat forms.—Chicago In ter Ocean. COMMENT AND OPINION. Harvey has blamed the two defeats of Mr. Bryan on Senator Jones, of Alabama, Mr. Harvey him self, though, has not been able to completely prove an alibi.—Cincinnati Enquirer (Dem.). C Mr. Bryan again writes that sil ver is not dead, and that the Kansas City platform is the thing. Mr. Bry an is doing all he can to perpetuate the republican party in power. In dianapolis News (Ind.). democratic state chairman announces that P.ryan will be in vited to speak in Ohio. If he comes it will be intcr(«?ting to watch his efforts to keep oil' that McLean plat form. It will require some lively side-stepping.—Cleveland Lead' r. E7-President McKinley said in a speech during his last visit to St. Louis, which was in October, 1S!»S: "We have one flag, one destiny, and wherever that, destiny shall lead us we will have hearts strong enough to meet its responsibilities." That cheerful, patriotic voice is stilled, but its lessons of duty will abide. St. Louis (ilobe-Democrat. CMr. Bryan takes the trouble tc deny, through the columns of his newspaper, the Commoner, that he has bought any oil lands. He says silver is his first and only love, and if the democratic party ties up to 'the gold standard after having ac cepted him and his l(i to 1 declara tions lie has his opinion of sueli flirt atious conduct.—Troy Times. 112 President Roosevelt's unasked pledge that he "will carry out, ab solutely unbroken, the policy of Pres ident -McKinley for the peace, the prosperity and honor of our beloved country," shows a becoming regard for what must lie esteemed the desire of tlie party responsible for the ad ministration of the government. President Roosevelt has a confirmed habit of doing the thing he says.— Philadelphia Record. following paragraph from the Springfield (Mo.) Republican, is interesting to those whom it, may concern: "Emma Goldman, the noted anarchist leader, says President Mc- Kinley is only a tool in the hands of Mark Hanna, who is ihe real presi dent and the 'power behind the throne.' Let's see. That sort of talk sounds familiar. Where and when have we heard it before?"— St. Louis (ilobe-Demoerat. Clf President Roosevelt is report ed correctly, he favors the establish ment of steamship lines to South and Central America and other points where trade can be developed, rath er than to European ports between which there is already an abundance of steamship lines. There is reason to believe that a ship subsidy bill to establish such lines as the president has mentioned will not meet the op position which the proposition to aid European lines called out.— Indianap olis Journal. IL-'Xot since the death of Lincoln have the American people been so profoundly shocked as by the report thai President McKinley has been as sassinated. It is doubly tragic that the president should have been struck down at the great American exposition where only a day before he had delivered an address which undoubtedly will rank as the most noteworthy utterance of his public career. Never before had Mr. Mc- Kinley given clearer proof that lie possessed the qualities of foreseeing statesmanship than in this last speech.—Lost on Transcript. IS FOUND GUILTY.

Buffalo, Sept. "4. —Leon Czolgos* was yesterday placed on trial.' charged with the murder of Presi- j dent McKinley. He entered a plea <>f "guilty," which was subsequently changed to "not guilty" by direction of the court. All the events of the day indicated that the trial will l«> short. Court convened at 10 o'clock. Within two hours eight jurors had been secured. Technicalities were not raised by ex amining counsel, but it was signifi cant that every man who said he had not formed an opinion on the case' was excused by the district attorney. Justice Truman C. White, one of the oldest supreme court judges, was on the bench. Immediately after the ■opening of court and after the pris oner had pleaded. Justice Lewis, senior counsel for the defendant, an nounced that together with his col leagues. ex-Justice Hubert C. Titus and Carlton K. Ladd, I hey were ready to act in behalf of the pris oner. j The work of securing the jury was then undertaken with a celerity that •was amazing. Before the day was over the entire panel had been sworn, the jurors had listened to a description of the Temple of Music, where ihe crime occurred; had seen photographs of the interior of that structure and had been told by three surgeons what caused the death of the president and the effect of the assassin's shot upon the various or-j gnus of the body. The first witness, Samuel J. Field, chief engineer of the Pan-American exposition, described the ground floor plan of the Temple of Music and was followed by Perry A. Bliss, a photographer, who presented views of the interior of the building. The remainder of the afternoon was tak en up with the testimony of three physicians, two of whom had attend ed the president during his last days, while the other performed the autopsy. The latter. Dr. Harvey K. (iaylord, described the location of the wounds in the stomach and the direction of the bullet. The cause of death was attributed to the gun- j shot wound, but fundamentally, he said, it was due to the changes back of the stomach, in the pancreas, caused by the "breaking down" of the material of the pancreas, as a result of the passage of the bullet. | Dr. Herman Mynter followed and his testimony brought out the fact that the reason why the fatal bullet had nf)t been located at the autopsy was because of the unwillingness of the president's relatives to have the body further mutilated by their in I struments. Dr. Mynter and Dr. .Mann, who followed him, both testi- ! lied that the primal cause of death was the gunshot wound in the stoin- j aeh. One effect of this wound was, they said, to cause gangrene to form in the pancreas and the spot of poisoned tissue was as large as a sil ver dollar. Huffalo, X. V.. Sept. 25.—Leon F | Czolgosz was yesterday found guilty ! of murder in the first degree by a jury in the supreme court, in having , shot President McKinley, the wounds inflicted afterwards resulting in the death of the president. The wheels of justice moved swift ly. The trial of the assassin con sumed eight hours and 2(5 minutes ! and covered a period of only two days. Practically all of this tim-3 ; "was occupied by the prosecution in ! presenting a ease so clear, so eon-' elusive that even bad the prisoner entered the plea of insanity it in doubtful if the jury would have re- j turned a different verdict. Hefore adjournment Justice Whit® said that he would pronounce sen tence oil the defendant on Thursday ' afternoon at 2 o'clock. The prison er was taken at once through the tunnel, under Delaware avenue, back to the jail. To all appearances lie. ■was in no way affected by the result 1 of the trial. The father, brother and sister of the assassin were put through a rigid examination Jast night by Assistant District Attorney Ilaller in the pres ence of Assistant Superintendent Cu- I sack and Detectives Hoary and Solo mon. For an hour and a half they were under a scorching fire of ques tions which resulted in the informa tion that they knew nothing about the dastardly plot; that they came from Cleveland to vindicate their ' own name and, if possible, to aid the authorities Ij-y securing from the prisoner some statement as to his reasons for the assassination. Iluffalo, X. V., Sept. 27. —Leon F. J Czolgosz, the assassin of President ■McKinley, was yesterday sentenced to lie electrocuted in Auburn state prison during the week beginning October 2s, 1001. Before sentence was pronounced the assassin evinced a desire to speak. "There was no j one else but me," tiie prisoner said in | a whisper. "Xo one else told me to ! do it and no one paid me to do it. I «.vas not told anything about the ' crime and I never thought anything, about it until a couple of days before j 1 committed th;> crime." Czolgosz was taken from Buffalo to Auburn prison last night. 'l'o Sii|i|iro»» Allure la I Htm.

THE SCHLEY COURT. If ICraumr* ll* Hennlon* n» sea | went down to the Sandy Hook light ship yesterday to witness Sir Thomas | Upton's second challenger, Shamrock ])., and the while flyer Columbia, which successfully defended the old America's cup against his first trophy hunt two years ago, and the struggle i for the yachting supremacy of the world, in the first of the cup races of 1901. But the excursion fleet re turned disappointed. The great single stickers went out in the morning fresh for the battle, but the seas re fused them a lield of conflict. THE AMER ( A'S CI The wind, never more than nine; and sometimes as low as three knots, was too light and shifty to carry the contestants over the 30-mile course in the time allotted by the rules. At. the end of five and a half hours, the prescribed time, tne race was official ly declared oft and the yachts were towed back to their berths inside of .Sandy Ilook. When the gun aboard the committee 'boat was lired to call attention to the signal declaring the race off, the American yacht was still five miles from the finish line. The Englishman was well astern of her, the experts estimating her distance beyond the Columbia at over three quarters of a mile. THE COLUMBIA. In windwork the Columbia beat the foreigner seven minutes and 15 sec onds to the outer mark and increased her lead somewhat in the broad reach for home. While the test was unsat isfactory, the yachting sharps who have been skeptical up to this time as to the ability of the Columbia to successfully defend the cup are more confident that it will remain on this side of the Atlantic a while longer. SHAMROCK 11. Certainly Columbia's superiority in light airs appears to have been dem onstrated. Shamrock 11. did not make as good a showing as did Lip ton's first challenger in the first half dozen flukes that preceded the races two years ago. What the Shamrock may be able to do in heavy weather is of course problematical, but Colum bia has 'been tried and all her ad mirers insist that she is distinctly a heavy weather boat. Two years ago Sir Thomas' prayer was for wind, but when he got a smart 2.">-knot gale in the last race Columbia's victory was even more de cisive than in the first. Since then Columbia's ability yi heavy weather has been proven ajjain and again. The harder it blown the faster she goes and the better she behaves. It is not strange, therefore, that the patriotic skippers and spectators who went down to Sandi* Hook with misgivings, returned last night reassured. BrltoiiM are I'liiisrliuiili London, Sept. 27. —The failure of the yachts to cover the course in time to constitute a race has created gen eral disappointment in Great Britain, but chagrin at the apparent poor showing of Shamrock 11. overshadows all other expressions of feeling. The Suburban population of London was kept advised of the progress of events by pyrotechnics at the Alexandra ond Crystal palaces. The London crowds chiefly gathered on the embankment, watching the red anil greea electric lights making progress up the high tower, in accordance with the varf« lug positions of the yachts.
