FLAG DAY IN WARRINGTON.
Theodore Roosevelt Tniks to tho Boys ana
GirIs OF the Force school.

WASHINGTON. June 4.-The celebration of
Flag Day in Washington was confined prin.
cipally to appropriate exercises in the public
schools. though the display Of flags from private
residences and business houses was more general
than usual. and extra flags wero flown from
some Of the Government buildings. The custom
Of not hosting the Stars and Stripes over the
White House when the President is away was
observed. and the mansion was the only public
building that did not show a flag.
At the Force School building the exercises
were particularly interesting. Theodore Roose-
welt was the principal speaker. HIS said that he
decided to speak at the Force School because he
expected to have two littls Roosevelts there
next fall. He talked principally about how
children could show themselves to be good
When a boy submitted to some boy who was
stronger than he, or oppressed one weaker, or
Just so much to lower the American
character. He would like to see, he said,
the school grounds enlarged, so that the pupils
might have a baseball nine and a football eleven.

best In sports and studies, and In the great bat.
tie OF life all the boys and girls before him would
have lots Of work to do to get all the good there
was in life and combat all the evil there was in
their neighbors. which as American citizens
they must overcome. In conclusion, Mr.. Roose-
Welt said that II the blast Of war ever sounded in
their ears the boys of the Force School would up
hold the flag as valiantly as their fathers had
done.

organization Committee for the actual net sum
of SOS. 69l. 1886. although the minimum bid was

The allotment of first mortgage 1 per cent.
bonds. which under the original plan was to be
500. 600. 700, is to be reduced under the new
plan TO $75. 900. 200. and there is to be an in
crease in the allotment OF preferred stock to the

Sec Beach OmeiaIs Believe That Mischievous
Boys DID tho Job.
After hearing reports on the attempt to wreck
a crowded Coney Island train on Sunday night,
the officials Of the Sea Beach Railroad are dis
posed to believe that the perpetrators were
actuated by malicious mischief. The officials
point out that the job OF placing a rail on tho
tracks at the entrance to the tunnel. Mt Sixth
avenue and Sixty-afth street, Brooklyn, was
done in n bungling manner, as II the work OF
boys. or, possibly. drunken men.
James T. Nelson, receiver and general man.
aser of the road. when seen at his Office. SO Wall
street, yesterday. said:
II am inclined tn the belief that It was the work
Of boys. There must have been several, else
they could not have handled the heavy rail. /
think that they, in a spirit of deviltry, put tho
rail across the tracks to SEQ what would happen.
Perhaps, however. 1t was tho work of drunken
men.
Beyond reporting the case to the police the
company has taken no action in the matter. 1t
was proposed at first to detail private detectives,
but we decided to give the Brooklyn police full
swing for q WHILE and only In the event Of their
failure will we put our own mon at work."
Burt Sterling, O track walker on the Culver
route. which parallels the Sea Beach tracks, but
a few yards away. says that on Sunday evening
he discovered that the locks on three switches
pered with. When he tried to put his key into
the padlocks he found that the keyholes were
filled with bits Of wood, as II some one had
tried to turn the lock with a stick and
throw open the switches, Only one lock was
injured and that not very badly.

ST. LOUIS, june 14.-At the Coroner's inquest
held this morning to inquire into the death of
Mr.. George Meyer the jury reached a verdict
that death was due to liberation of the intes-
tines. tho result of typhoid fever, and that this
condition was the result Of neglect of proper
medical treatment. The verdict was forwarded
TO the Board of Health, which will take such
action against H.. II. Schroeder. the Christian
Scientist who attended Mr.. Meyer.
Mr.. Meyer was a brewer, in good circum:
stances. On last Wednesday he went home and
complained Of being III, His condition was not

according to his methods, but the patient grew
worse, and on Saturday night regular physician
was called. The man was dead when the doctor
arrived.
At the inquest Schroeder did not wish to at
tribute Meyers death to lack OF faith. He said
he did not know how much faith the deceased
man possessed: According to the Christian Sci.
ence faith, as interpreted by the witness. Meyer
did not die. True believers know no death. In
reply TO a question from Coroner Waite, the
witness admitted knowing nothing OF the symp-

He did not know hat food improperly given to
such a patient would cause death.

The committee has met with many disappoint-
ments in its quest OF contributions for the Alt

the regular Democratic leaders who were APP

more willing, to subscribe TO keep him away than
