ROOSEVELT, As we goto press to-day no doubt Roosevelt is 011 the ocean, eagerly looking for signs of the land which he loves so well. He expects a reception in New York, but can hardly realize its immen sity. That a private citizen should receive such an enthusiastic recep tion is without precedent, and emphasis the fact that he is an ex traordinary nia 11. Mr. Roosevelt was not born with a "Gold spoon in his mouth." His father though not rich as con.pared with the Astors, Yanderbilts, and Goulds, was in comfortable circum stances, and able to send his son to Harvard University, the oldest, most select, and expensive institu tion of learning in America, from which the son graduated with high honors. Roosevelt's advantages for education were great, and right well he improved them. Not con tent with his college acquirements ( as too many graduates are) he has been a student, and writer of books ever since leaving his alma mater, or university mother. Recently in Europe, he talked with the presi dent of France in fairly good French, and with the Kaiser of Germany in excellent Geriuan. Ninety per cent of the distin guished men in the United States were the sous of farmers, and born in the country. Roosevelt 011 the contrary was born in the city of New York in 1858 and consequent- ly is now 52 vear.s of age. At the age of 2.'] lie was elected a a member of the New York legisla ture, and the men who vote for measures, right, or wrong, and those who would vote for the Devil if nominated by their party, soon found that he was no comrade of theirs. The old political leaders were not long in discovering that this young man could be led only in one direction, the direction of honest legislation that benefits all the people. Such unyieldy men they • lid not like, and tried to drive him from public life, but like the uiau who bore away the iron gates of Gaza 011 his shoulders, he was too strong for the Philistines, lie afterwards held the oftiice of police commissioner of New York, Presi dent of the civil service commission, and Assistant Secretary of war, which he resigned togo with his regiment of rough riders to the war in Cuba, where bis gained military honors for brave conduct. At the time of his return, the Republican party in New York was likely to sustain a disastrous defeat. A governor was to be elected, and no one could have ob tained the office without the votes of the independents, and no cap able man cftuld obtain them except Roosevelt. Strange as it may ap pear, the very men who had tried to drive him from public life, now solicited him to become the candi date for governor, and got him elected by over 17,000 plurality. Thomas C. Piatt (the state boss,) says in his memoirs: "I havealways mantailied that 110 man except Roosevelt could have accomplished that feat in 18U8," and further says:"The great dispute between Roosevelt and me came however wnen the governor announced that corporations must pay a franchise tax, and clenched his lists, and gritted his teeth, and drove through the legislature the franchise tax law." At the close of Roosevelt's term as governor Mr. Piatt and his lieu tenants tried to "shelve" him by getting him nominated for vcie president—au oflice with 110 power, nor patronage, and considered a political grave for the inciimbants. Although Mr. Piatt denies this, in humerous language, saying: In stead of shelving Roosevelt, I must plead guilty to the charge of kick ing him up stairs, and that "if McKinley had lived, Roosevelt never would have been president" Mr. Piatt in his old age, and not long before his death, wrote as fol lows: "I desire to testify that Roosevelt kept the faith he pledged at Buffalo, Sept. 14th 1901. He sincerely sought to follow in the foot-steps of McKinley, and proved himself one of our greatest presi dents." CASTELAR. —« rnmm Back Broken in Fall Do\yi Air Shaft. Oratio Bonci, a watchman in tin- Murray coal mines at Murray town. sustained a broken back in a fall in an air shaft at the mine Saturday morning. Bonci was ascending the steps in the air shaft and had reached one of the landings which are ten feet apart, when in some manner he fell, and was terri bly injured about tin- back and shoulders. He was taken to the Packer hospital Saturday evening, and there it was found that his back had been broken. Last evening word from the hospital was to,(he effect that his condition was very favorable. Bonci is naturalized and Americanized Italian. Some years ago he lost an arm in an accident but in spite of this handi cap lie has been a hard worker, raising a large family. He is held in high regard by his neighbors and all who knew him. Editor Shintp Dead. A. Harvey Shiinp, editor of the Hughesville Mail for a "number of years, died Monday morning at 1 o'clock of a complication of heftrt diseaseand indigestion. Mr.Shinip was one of the best Democratic editors in this part of the state and has edited the Mail in a manner befitting a true member of his party and a thorough newspaper man. lie is survived by his wife. Munson Refuses Nomination. C. Larue Munson of Williams port has declined to permit the use of his name as Democratic candi date for Governor. He says his reasons are entirely personal and of such nature that they cannot be overcome. Mr. Munson's refusal comes as a surprise to everyone as a nomnation for governor is one seldom turned down. Ten Thousand Attend World's S. S. Convention. Washington Thronged for Most Cosmo politan Gathering ever held on Con tinent—Big Procession—Taft Makes Bpeecli -Spectac ular Features. (Concluded from last week.) The demonstration accorded Pres ident and Mrs. Taft—whom the former introduced to the cheering throng as "the real President" stirred the nation's Chief Executive greatly. He declared his belief in the fundamental importance of re ligious training of the youth of the nation through the Sunday School. The Convention sat with a mon ster map of the world before its eyes. The official button showed the globe with a red cross super imposed thereupon. Part of each day was given to a "Roll Call of Nations." The ends of the earth came together at Washington. Strikingly, the note of interna tional peace resonded from session to session; the depth of conviction upon this subject which possessed the delegates made the gathering worthy to rank among the great peace conference^. On the closing night of the Con vention there was a tableau of seventy-live children reproducing the picture which this Convention lias made famous: "The Twentieth Century Crusaders." The children of many nations gathered under the Sunday-School Hag. At the same time delegates from many lands—Korea, China. India. Japan, Mexico, Brazil, Turkey, etc. —gath- ered on the front of the platform and all sang together to the one tune, but each in his own tongue, one of the familiar Christian hymns that is sung the world around. The statistics of the Convetion were presented at this time, the fltig of each nation being added to a display stand as the figures from that land were given. The total showing is 27,888,470 members, of whom above 1(1,000,000 are found in theUnited States and Canada. This includes 2.500,000 officers and teachers: the number of schools re ported being 285,842. All ages from octogenarians and other adults by the million to infants on the cradle roll and in the kindergarden department are now found in the Sunday School. This vast company is scattered over the habitable globe, the increase in non-Christian lands being especially noteworthy. Various jeetors combined to make tin* Convention a missionary occasion. Many distinctively mis sionary addresses were made. The presence of several hundred mis sionaries helped. So did the Mis sionary and Educational Exhibit. The realization that the agency which deals with childhood is. the most potent evangelizing force con tributed powerfully. The widespread observance of of World's Sunday School Day, in more than two hundred languages and dialects, as reported to the Convention by cables from various lands, was a real missionary factor. Litterally thousands of sermons upon the religious training of youth seem to have been preached upon that day. For the first time in its history the World's Association tried to raise a budget f<H' the expenses of the ensuing triclinium. The sum asked for, $4 ">,000.00, was all se cured in a few hours. This will l>e used largely in placing field workers in foreign lands to develop the Sunday School idea and organiza tion. The Convention sessions were too numerous to be mentioned in de tail. On Sunday afternoon there were twenty-five, and on Sunday night over a hundred, all with re gularly appointed speakers from a wide area. Convention Hall holds six thousand persons and it was packed mornings as well as even ings, and the simultaneous sessions often overflowed also. Frequently the Convention broke up into sec tional conferences. Especially no table among the speeches were those of President Taft, Dr. S. Parkes Cad man, of Brooklyn, Hon. John Wanamaker, Rev. S. M. Zweiner, of Arabia: Bishop J. C. Hartzell, of Africa; Mr. Robert E. Speer, and Dr. J. Wilbur Chapman. Rev. Dr. F. B. Meyer, of London, who pre sided, had a profound influence upon the Convention. The retiring Chairman of the Executive Committee, Dr. George W. Bailey, was elected President or the next three years, and Mr. E. K. Warren, of Three Oaks, Mich,, Executive Chairman. Because of its size and represent ative capacity, and because the delegates were for the most part middle-aged leaders in Christian work, and also because of the new notes of world peace, world Chris tianization, and virile allegiance to the Bible, the Convention will doubtless exert an extraordinary influence over the immediate future of all the churches.

V., a weather prophet, whose predic tions I>ecause of their accuracy, are taken by the people in all parts of New York state as authority states that this summer will approach closely to the year 1858 for cold, wet weather. He predicts that reasonable warm weather will con tinue until toward the latter part of June when it will turn cold. July will be an exceptionally cold month and only tm occasional pleas tint day is promised. The latter part of August is the only time summer will really ap proach its normal condition. He sums up his predictions with the statement: "While there will be some hot weather, it will be of short duration, and the summer of 1910 promises to be the coldest summer that has been experienced in over 50 years." Now isn't that a rosy outlook for the straw hat, duck trowsers enthusiast. SONESTOWN. The following Sonestown people spent last week camping on Schaner burg run: Frank Magargle, C'has.
