' The inhabitants of a certain Colo rado city were anxious to secure the presence of Mr. Roosevelt at a civic festival. It was when the famous rough rider, then vice president, was visiting in the state, and the problem before the magnates of the festival j ■was to induce Mr. Roosevelt to pro long his stay. Rut the man to whom this task was delegated felt \ •that he could offer an inducement •which would appeal irresistibly to the | hunter heart of the man who has as keen a s<-ent for "biff game" as ever carried a man through the hardships *>f a mountain trail. After giving Mr. Roosevelt a cordial invitation to attend the public fes- I "tiva! of his city he added an invitation ! How Roosevelt "Captured" the Cowpunchers ranch," said the stockman, "were I just starling on a big roundup when I Mr. Hotfe'erelt crossed their trail. Of course, he was given an invitation to join.

Incidentally, it also illustrates his fondness for dogs, a foible which Mr. McCutcheon, the «rthft who illustrated the earliest 1 GEORGE ADE. *keches upon which Mr. Ade made his reputation, celebrated in the quaint canine figure familiar to the public Us "Artie's Dog." When in his teens, Mr. Ade conceived a covetous desire to possess a brown puppy owned by a playmate. But his Hock of marbles, jackknives and kites proved insufficient to tempt the owner Didn't Miinl the ( lie. They were performers in some ama teur theatricals.

For some time he had been very at tentive to her, and, although people had frequently remarked upon his de votion, he had not come to the point of proposing. Hut as they sat behind the scenes he felt that an opportune moment had arrived, and after vainly casting his eyes in the direction of the (•filing for inspiration he turned to lier.

Then he j incidentally added that, within four | miles of his mountain house, was a ' fine flock of mountain sheep, the pres ence of which was entirely unknown to the general fraternity of visiting and local sportsmen. This flock, he intimated, had long been known to him, and he had therefore come to con sider it in the nature of private prop erty. Feeling sure that Mr. Roosevelt could not resist so favorable an oppor [ tunity to secure the head of a moun tain ram, he sent the invitation and complacently awaited a reply. It. came promptly. After explaining that 1 official duties demanded his immediate i return to Washington, the distin guished hunter reminded his corre j spondent that the state of Colorado | had no "open season" permitting the shooting of mountain sheep and that, i while this game was of a kind to stir the blood of the most hardened hunter, I he could not for a moment consider I the possibility of violating the laws of | any state, no matter how seductive the tempt at ion. No man. he held, who ' would violate the law of any state | could have a true sportsman spirit! !

One day. how ever. when the boys of the town were disporting' themselves in t he sw i mining hole, the owner of the puppy threw the latter into the stream to add to the gen eral merriment. Ade arrived on the seene just as the dog- began to battle with the current, instantly lie ran to a log- which spanned the stream lower down, and there | awaited t lie arrival of the canine swim- j mer- his whole nature in revolt j against tlie supposed, cruelty of the j owner, and quite unconscious of the fact that the strain of spaniel blood in the mongrel made the creature naturally at home in the water. Reach ing down from his insecure perch on the log. lie seized the dog by the nape of the neck, drew it tip and gathered it into his arms. Suddenly there was a struggle then a splash. I Joy and dog both disappeared into the stream. Hut when they came to the surface young Ade still retained ; his grip upon the mongrel. And he held it, too, until they were safely j ashore. Without pausing to dry his i clothes, the future author made a <111i<• K retreat for home, carrying the puppy with him. He claimed the lat- I ter by right of rescue, and against the protests of his family and the former owner of the dog. Nothing could move him from his position, and ho was eventually allowed full and tin disputed possession of his prize. He. never wanted anything so much as he did that dog, and its capture afforded j him more satisfaction than he lias since secured from the popularity of "Artie," or his "Fables in Slang."

Fx-Pollee f'ommlosloner Cialim III» Fight for Political 1-eaUernlllp. New York, Sept. 17.—Republican and democratic primaries were held Tuesday in Hie various assembly dis tricts in the boroughs of Manhattan and the Bronx. Interest in the out come of the voting was keener than for some years, inasmuch as in many districts there were contests for the distrid leaderships. This was notably true in the Ninth assembly district, where William S. Devery. ex-deputy commissioner of police, had for weeks conducted a picturesque campaign as a candidate for the Tammany leadership as against Frank J. Goodwin, Tammany leader, and John C. Sheehan, leader of the Greater New York democracy. At 11 o'clock last night the indica tions were that Devery's campaign had been successful and that he had won.

Birmingham, Ala., Sept. 20.—1n an awful crush nf humanity, caused by a stampede in the Shiloh Negro Baptist church last night 75 persons were killed and as many more seriously injured. The catastrophe occurred afc 9 o'clock, just as Booker T. Washing ton had concluded his address to the national convention of Baptists and for three hours the scenes around the church were indescribable. Dead bodies were strewn in every direction, and the ambulance service was utter ly incapacitated to move them until after midnight. Dozens of dead bodies were arranged in rows on the ground outside the church, awaiting removal to the various undertaking establishments, while more than a score were laid out on the benches inside. The church is the largest church f?>r negroes in Birmingham and at least 2,()0(t persons were in the build ing when the stampede began. In structions had been issued to allow no more to enter, but the negroes forced their way inside the building and were standing in every aisle, even the entrance to the church be ing literally paeked. .lust as Booker T. Washington con cluded his address, Judge Billon, a negro lawyer from Baltimore, en gaged in an altercation with the choir leader concerning an unoccupied seat, and, it is thought, a blow was struck. Some one in the choir cried: "They're fighting." Mistaking the word "fight ing" for "fire," the congregation rose en masse and started for the doors. One of the ministers mounted the rostrum and urged the people to keep quiet, lie repeated the word "quiet"* several times and motioned his hear ers to be seated. The excited congre gation mistook the word "quiet" for "fire" and renewed the struggle to reach the doors. The level of the floor is about 15 feet from the ground and long steps lead to the sidewalk from the lobby just outside the main auditorium. Brick walls extend on each side of these steps for six or seven feet, and this place proved a veritable death trap. Negroes who had reached the top of tin- steps were pushed vio lently forward and many fell. Before they could move, others fell upon them and in I.') minutes persons were piled upon each other to a height of ten feet. This mass of struggling humanity blocked the entrance and the weight of 1,500 persons was pushed against it. More than 20 per sons lying on the steps underneath the heap of bodies, died from suffo cation. DUN'S WEEKLY REPORT. A lloirato Iteport an to Commercial < ondlll.in*. "N'ew York, Sept. 20. —R. CI. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Keview of Trade says: Domestic trade continues active, high rates for money having thus far failed to check industrial operations or unsettle confidence. Stringency is considered only temporary and chiefly of importance to speculators, while large imports of gold promise relief. Crops are making encourag ing progress, despite some injury from frost. Labor disputes are few. the anthracite coal strike being the only one that retards progress, and each week shows some increase in output. Fall distribution of mer chandise has begun unusually early, while the volume of orders already placed indicates much the heaviest aggregate on record. At the south and west conditions are especially favorable, shipping departments working vigorously, and payments are promptly made. Official returns of foreign com merce during August show the im provement in exports over the two preceding months that was indicated by the weekly movement of merchan dise and staples, and imports far sur passed the corresponding month in preceding years. This liberal buying In foreign markets testifies to well sustained domestic consumption. Failures for the week numbered 10!) in the t'nited States, against 15? last year, and 25 in Canada, compared with 20 a year ago. FIVE MEN KILLED. Two Faurngrr Trains Collide at Wlt« mor Station, s*«.
