ROOSEVELT At BUFFALO.
'Teddy" Given an Ovation ON His Ar

BUFFALO, N Y. Oct. 25.-The greatest

since his Carnegie Hall meeting in New
York occurred III Buffalo this afternoon
and evening When the Roosevelt party ar
rived an immense crowd of people were in
waiting and the streets from the Erie
Railroad stopping place to the hotel were
lined with enthusiastic crowds. The car
riages containing the party were escorted
by one hundred mounted men attired as
Rough Riders, and the salutation along the
route amounted almost to an ovation, the
carriage in which Colonel Roosevelt sat
being stopped several times while people
sl.ook hands with the candidate.
When the party arrived at the hotel i'm
mense crowds about the entrance forced
their way into the lobby and while the party
was registering compelled both Colonel
Roosevelt and DR.. Depew to make a few
remarks of welcome. When the candidate
and his party were shown to rooms they
compelled to go to the parlors, where the
general public was received for about an
hour.
At 7:15 o'clock in the evening Colonel
Roosevelt, escorted by the Rough Riders
and the Roosevelt-Woodruff Wheel Club,
left the hotel and started over 10 the East

especially immortaized himself for calm
courage, zeal and tremendous self-sacrifice.
Hon. Joseph j. O'Neil, assistant United
States treasurer at Boston, read a paper
at the afternoon session on Catholics and

seven Catholic families in New York. In

PEREGRINATING COINS.
Curious Fad of a Man Who Marked
Every One He Had.

New Orleans Times-Democrat.
If an old coin could only talk what
strange adventures 1t might tell remarked
o. Canal-street druggist twirlng a silver
piece he had just received from customer.
Now, this half-dollar was coined in 1s4S,
the year the great gold craze began i'm Cali
fornia, and should say by its looks that
1t had been in pretty constant circulation
ever since. Think what volume of trade
that represents. If it purchased its face

modest estimate, it has done well on to
1t has been going the rounds. That's quite
Il record, isn't it? And l dare say that
curious things have happened to it in its
Journeyings. 1t has been borrowed and
stolen and lost and lent; it has been hoard
ed by miSerS and Squandered by prOdigals,
and who knows how often it has been the
last coin in the pocket of a suicide? 1t must
have lain on gaming tables and ratified in
church boxes and held down the eyelids of
countries it has Travelled, and what fantas-
tic foreign things it may have bought. L
never finger one of these old coins without
certain sense of awe and an inclination to
stop. no matter how busy may be, ard do
little day dreaming over its history"
All that reminds me-" said gentleman
who had listened to the druggists homily,
''of queer experiment / made years ago.
I was specializing one day on the possible
wanderings of coins, and just to test the
matter had small steel punch made with
my initials cut in the end. BY bringing it
down sharply on a coin / could leave the
letters indented on the surface. Well, for a
long time-over a year in fact-I stamped

hundred or five hundred separate pieces

my eyes open for the return of any of the
wanderers. IT was in 1881 or 1882 that bee
gan work with the die, and in all these in
tervening years have never yet received
coin bearing my stamp. Looking for the
initials has become such a habit with me
that do it instinctively almost every time

was a cashier in good-sized retail house
here, and handled a great many fractional
coins. Hundreds of them had been marked,
but none had my particular stamp. This
scattered. A young friend of mine tried the
same experiment, and after a considerable
lapse of time found one of his coins in some
change given him In a store in New York

ELECTION DATES.
Why We Elect congressman in No.
vember.
Washington Post.


The reason for the date of congressional
eiecttors-the first Tuesday after the first
Monday in November-is often asked but
there are very few who have charge of the
campaign who are able to answer 1t. Capt
Thomas II. Mckee, the journal clerk of
the House. explained that the controlling
reason for the date, in the manner fixed.
was to prevent an election falling on the
hrst of the month. That, Of course is a
busy day for many men. Bills fall due then
and commercially, the LIST is always the
busiest day in every month. The language
used TO designate the date makes it impos-
sible for the election to come earlier than
the I'd OF the month, and that would be only
when the first day of the month happened
to be Monday.
The reason given applies more strictly to
the date of presidential elections, for Con-
gresS has prescribed that date alone The
states elect their representatives to Con-
greSs any day they please, as is shown by
the examples of Oregon, holding a congress

the date is most convenient for state cleo

number of the States held their own cleo
tions on different dates. often widely di-
vergent. The fixing of the date for presi-
Dental elections in November is also said
to have been deemed a necessity by the
trainers Of the law to insure the delivery of
the returns in Washington in time for the

Ter days of the Republic, when travel was

Now YORK Democrats Encouraged.

NEW YORK, Oct. 25.-The headquarters
of the Democratic state committee was
thronged to-day by county chairmen from
up the State. About thirty of these county
leaders were present and each reported to
Senator McCarren upon the situation in his
county. Senator McCarren said afterward
that the reports were very encouraging. He
said that they showed conclusively that Mr..
Van Wyck is gaining all through the State.
According to these reports Mr.. McCarren
figured out that the Democratic state ticket
will come down to the Harlem not more
than $4,000 votes behind That is about the
plurality he expects to have to overcome in
the boroughs of this city and the local lead
ers he says assure him that this city will
give a plurality of at least 100000 for Van
Wyck.
