Increasing Trade Wholesale Family Murders Bryan In Missouri Will Endorse Roosevelt Church Work In Philippines Mrs. Stewart Killed. McKinley Memorial Services. Mian Ethel R. Dingle, a rarely pretty girl, whose (ace and figure may be seen iu every Bell Telephone direc tory, lies dead In Rochester, N. Y., (rum a gaping wound iu her throat, li He I.cland Dorr Kent Is at tho Homeopathic hospital, his throat also slushed b'lt not so seriously but what he will live. Kent's statement to the coronet has not been made public, but lie claims that the girl wounded him and then killed herself. His story Is doubted. The couple came from Buffalo late Saturday night anJ registered at the Whlteomb house as L. D. Kent and wife. They were found In their room Sunday mo-mlng. the girl dead, the man wild and raving. A razor was lu the girl's left hand nl several powerful drugs were found In small bottles In the room. Dcteclivej are guarding Kent, who would have graduated from the River side hospital at Buffalo next year.

T! e girl was a Canadian by birth and had been a nurse In Riverside hrspltal most of four years past, but wni discharged from there a few weeks ago. The Intimacy of the two dated back only two months, and, according to what ran be secured of Kent's story, the two agreed to die togethor. Volume of Trade Increasing. HiBiistreet's says: Taken as a whole fall trade Is still expanding in volume because Western and Northwestern markets report un abated activity. Eastern Jobbing Is as active as heretofore, and the South re ports more doing at nearly all cen ters. First held off until the close of the week, when a scare was worked up. Any deterioration now, however, can only be as to quality, because the crop seems secure as to quantity. In-' I ess pt tain is reflected In labor mat ters. The anthracite coal strike ap pears to he fading away, some other strtkej have been actually ended and labor Is well employed as a rule. One fact brought out In tho reports as to activity in dry goods, clothing, shoes, millinery and groceries is the very general demand for a higher class of goods which manifests Itself. Re tail trade tho country over seems bet ter, stimulated partly by cooler weath er. Money Is hardening as the needs of trade nud crop moving Increases, and the usual stringency seems to be ap proaching, which will probably be tem pered, however, by gold Imports.

The president thoroughly enjoyed the affair and seemed as fresh when It was over as when he began. He expressed his feeling to a woman In the crowd who aikej him If he was getting tired. "Not a bit," he replied. "It takes more than a trolley car to knock me out or a crowd to tire Die." The weather could not have been more delightful. The decorators dH their work thoroughly and the sun shone upon a village resplendent with color. Most cf the business buildings and many of the private houses were adorned with flags and bunting.

Where the private road leaves the main thoroughfare a large arch of flowers and flags had been erected with the word "Welcome" In the cen ter.

The precautions to guard the presi dent against any possible harm were of the most thorough character. In addition to the sheriff's 300 special deputies, a large number of secret ser vice men and policemen from New York In plain clothes were on the porch and about the grounds. No one wns allowed to go past the president with a camera or a stick of any de scription.

They came from New York, where they now live, to greet the president and to show him a photograph of his father and one of his when he was 4 years of age. The president was delighted to see the pictures and the old ser vants and presentel the sisters to Mrs. Roosevelt. None of the visitors was Introduced to the president hut when he recog nized an old acquaintance Mr. Roosevelt generally rallPl him by name and addressed some pleasant re mark to him. When a delegation of small boys tramped upon the porch the president said: "Here are the lit tie rough riders of Oyster Bay." "You are the greatest man on earth, in the estimation of every American." sal I another woman as she reaeli 'd the president. "Theodore, how's air ye." said an oil salt dressel In the uniform of an American Jackie as he shook the pres ident's hand. Many were the expres sions jf "f!od bless you" that greeted the pifsldent. The line was hfltod for a few mo nicnts to allow a, delegation froir. Glenwood, I I., to present the pre3 Ident with a handsome Hungariar water bottle. The president spoke ( few wcrds of thanks. A pleasing Incident occurred towarc the close of the reception. The Nevi York policemen wanted their pictures taken with the president in their midst When the request was made of th president he complied at once.
