Presence.

Niagara Falls, October 91.-When the
Roosevelt train stopped to be switched at
the Tenth street crossing at Niagara

about the Roosevelt's car and the usual
crowd of boys. The Governor came out
and bowed and the boys shouted "Hur-
rah for Bryan and one OF the men
picked mp ons particularly loud-voiced
little fellow and gave him a spanking
which surprised the boy more than IL
hurt him. This the Governor seemed to
enjoy. He thanked the man. The man
seemed to feel hurt that such thing
should have occurred and began to
apologize for 1t, but the Governor smil-
ingly informed him he had six children
himself ana he knew what children were,
and added:
81 don't blame the children; If their
parents did what you have done, it would
be for their good.''
The incident only took a minute and
the train then proceeded on its way.
When the Governor tininshed his re-
marks and Hon. Walter Emerson of
Maine was being introduced, a gray
said that In all respect and in all sinceri-
ty and all honor to the Governor of the
Empire State, he would like TO have the
privilege of asking him a couple of ques-
tions. The Governor Immediately arose
and nodded his assent
"Do you believe In taxation without
representation" asked the man. The
question was repeated on the request of
the Governor but before an answer was
given, policeman interfsred and the
man subsidized.
At Tonawanda, the last stop Of the
Roosevelt train before reaching Buffalo,
a large crowd had gathered, The Gov
ernor addressed them from a stand near
the train speaking In the same strain as
he has at other places during the day
There were no Interruptions here One
man tried to interrupt the Governor but
those around him started TO hustle
MIN out of the crowd.
The Governor said 70 them: Leave
him alone maybe he viii learn sopis-
thing; almost any change in him would
be a change for the better"

interesting nature and all OF the young

set OF fours and a petty officer, nine men
in all, are now able TO mount this wall

features ri this drill Last night a great
deal of time was also put in on the singls

road to it, by which 1t seeks to have COM
missioners appointed to determine the
value OF the stock of certain dissenting

MASSACHUSETTS POLO LEAGUE.

Brockton, Mass, October 3l.-At a
meeting of the Southeastern Polo league
held at Clark's hotel in Boston, tonight,
teams were represented from Brookton,
East Weymouth, Clinton, Pawtucket and
Lawrence. The Fall River representa-
tive was in the hotel, but he did not at
tend the meeting.
Salem was also represented by both fac
lions, by Minchin. who holds the lease
Of the rink and Carroll, who holds the
franchise. Among the towns represented
were Pawtueket and Lawrence, the teams
heing claimed by the New England
league.
There WAS a spirited discussion on the
question Of a compromise in order to
have the Salem team secure membership
in the Southeastern league.
Jean Jacques of Waterbury. who holds
the patent on the cages that are used by
thu different leagues, was present. lie
intimated that the National league was
in bad shape and si-ould have more play
ers. He said he would not let the minor
leagues have cages unless they are fair
IN tie distribution of players. He
further added that he would give cages
to Carroll OF Salem, as he has done on
former years
1t was finally decided by vote that the
league should go under the national
agreement. Fall River was dropped from
the league so that there are now seven
clubs in the circuit in good standing.
The dispute in Salem between the own
er of the rink and the lessee, has been ad-
justed, and Messrs. Broadbent and Car

TRUSTEE FOR ANNA GOULD
Count OF CsstsII aue HES spent Her In
come Several Tim Is Over.

Paris, October Sl.--Ths civil tribunal
tee for the Countess OF CastsIlane, his
sister. According to the pleading in the
case. her husband, Count Boni Of Gas.
teliane spent 2s,OOO,0OO francs In four
years, whereas his income from his wife's
fortune, Is only s,0O0,00O francs.
The action in the case was the result
of suit brought by Mr.. Gould against
his sister. The court granted his request
and appointed him trustee. The proceed
ings were conducted In secret session
only the bare decision being announced
The Castellanes are now staying In t.e
country together.
Maitre Bonnet when applying for the
trusteeship, informed the president OF the
court that the Countess herself recog-
nized that the expenditure had been too
lavish and that 1t was necessary for some
one of experience and authority to man.
age her affairs. He went On 20 say that
although the Countess was a consenting
party to the trusteeship, IL was desir-
able that he should furnish precise de-
tails. The income Of the Countess, he
went on, was y, 600, COO francs since the
marriage l5,OU0,000 francs had been ex-
pended and the debts now amounted to
22 600, COO. The Gould family had met
In consultation and unanimously decid-
ed to authorize MIR. Gould TO make the
present application.
The debts, Maitre Bonnet said, were the
following: 9,7U2,0 francs in connection
with the charity bazaar building and
the hotel In the Rue Malakoff. etc., etc;
q, $50, 800 francs ON mortgages payable
from 1910 TO 1909: 4, 298, 165 francs ON bills,
money loaned; .. 100000 francs owing to
curio dealers.
Maitrs Bonnet went on to assert that
the creditors distrained on the Seine ct
Disc property and that the family had
to intervene to prevent the sale.
With regard to the fitness of Mr.. George
Gould to be trustee, Maitre Bonnet point
ed out that his fortune was larger than
! that of the countess, that authority based
on affection would be great and that no
| one was better qualified, as IL was Mr..
George Gould who was appointed execu-
tor OF his father VIII. Another oonsid-
GRAFTON was that the clearing away or
the debts would take n number of years
and that therefore it would bs wise 20
economize and not to go to the expense
OF a paid trustee.
Inc tribunal, taking this view. declared
the plaintiff possessed, better than any
other. OF the necessary position and au-
| thority TO assist the defehdress."
1t appears that the Countess, who was
not present In court today, was ques-
toned by President Baudoin last Friday.

SAILING AND STEAM VESSELS.
(Tne Engineering Me-

(The Engineering News.)
The recent launching of six masted
sailing vessel from a Maine shipyard calls
attention anew to the fact thats steam
has by no means banished sails from the
ocean. Notwithstanding the recent great
increase in the size of freight steamers
and the vast Improvement In the econo-
my of marine engines that has taken
placeiduring the last twoidecades, the SAIL
ing vessel still holds Its place on many
routes and many lines of trade.
More than this, 1t seems not at all Inn
probable that the near future may see an
increase In sailing vessels, as compared
with steam for ocean traffic ON account
of the notable increase IN the price of
coal In Europe. Doubtless there will he
a temporary decline of longer or shorter
duration from the present high prices,
but In the long run materially higher
scale of prices than has prevailed in the
past may certainly be expected. 1t is not
that the coal measures of Europe are near
exhaustion but they are all the time
reaching greater depths and becoming
more expensive 60 work, while thinner
seams and less productive beds are now
worked than were formerly profitable.

"The funniest thing l ever saw or

cess, "was the lecture of Artemus Ward.

Iivered in Albany. The audience was
fashionable, conservative and proper to
a degree. Ward, discouraged, finally
stopped and said after one of his best
things which had met with no response,
There's the joker Suddenly the fun Of
the whole entertainment came like an
avalanche. The audience began to litter,
then to laugh. then to roar and at the end
of 10 minutes was positively in hys-
terieal condition"
One of Artemus' wittiest remarks was
his answer to a telegram. What will
you take for ten nights in San Fran
