Since the good roads movement was inaugurated
the State and counties of Jersey have spent in
improving their highways $2.14747S. and up to De-
State of Massachusetts and counties in that State
more than $50 miles of road perfect as any of
the remarkable highways of Europe.
"A little than two years ago." said one
Of the members of the Automobile Club "the Hig-
bee-Armstrong bill became law in this State. and
during the two years Just passed there has been
appropriated the sum OF $4,000 each year State
aid for the Improvement of the highways The
State of New-York Is far behind Its sister States
this meeting is to try to show the people OF the
State that If commerce is to be retained and
merchandise brought satisfactorily to our rail-
roads and canals, on which we are spending SO
much money, our highways must be improved, and
that must be longer compelled to travel
through the mud and over stones"
The wheelmen Of Philadelphia already MAX
ing preparations for the entertainment Of the dele
gates attending the National Assembly OF the
League of American Wheelmen in that city next
month. The fact that Milwaukee has been
awarded the annual meet for 1900 and that the trip
is too lengthy to allow any great number of Phila-
delphians to attend makes the coming assembly
the only gathering of the present year. that will
give the wheelmen Of that city opportunity to
display Philadelphia's hospitality. The National
Assembly will be held the Continental Hotel be-

the most important in the history of the League of

The editor is indebted to Rev F. F. Johnson of Redlands, Cal, for copy of 1.-The Redlands Daily Facts,n containing an account of the earthquake which vis- tied that place on Christmas day. The Facts says: 'sIt is probable that since the settlement of this immediate section by white people, never has there been 80 severe an earth quake shock as that which occurred just before break Of day on Christmas morn. It was 4.25 o'clock, as ascertained by the observations of many and by the stopping of large number of timepieces. AS near as can be determined by those who endeavored to reckon the passing of time, the shake lasted for about 10 seconds, divided into two periods of about equal duration, the interval between not being marked by 8 complete cessation of vibrations. There was apparently not the same duration of preliminary rumblings as Is frequently the case. The vibrations were distinctly east and west, although towards the last there was, according to the testimony oi many, 8 sort of rotary motion. Some old buildings, damaged in the preceding heavy "quake," and considered frail, sustained no damage yesterday. This is thought to be due to the fact that the di- recsion of motion was from different quarter. The damage sustained in this city was comparative ly iight.n

 There is one young lady in town, st least, who appreciates the efforts put forth by the local clergymen in giving the lectures to the public. She is not quite four years old but has begun to think nevertheless. It was last N ednes- day night and at the tea table her par ents had been been talking about the lecture. Soon little figure was missing from the table.

ing town red
After the close Of yesterdays session the
real work of the convention may be said to
have commenced in earnest. The import
ant committees went to work Immediately
upon their respective tasks and two of
them at least sat until far into the night.
The state delegates went into caucus upon
different matters connected with their fu-
ture course, the most interesting being the
meeting Of the New York delegates and
their action upon Roosevelt.
Some Delegates Made Merry.
While the committees We're at work and
the prominent men from each delega don
were busy, the rest Of the delegates and
the town made merry. Broad street, in the
neighborhood Of the Walton Hotel, was q
scene Of revelry by night. Almost every
inch of available space upon the fronts OF
the buildings thereabouts has been utilized
for incandescent electric light decoration
and advertising, while immense letters Of
fire spanned the thoroughfare, from roof to
roof top. Streamers Of glowing lights hung
from William Penn's statue, surmounting
the city hall, to the roof below. In the
midst Of this glare surged back and forth
the thousands who a dhr9ngea gee the a,a streets ct
citament and the marching clubs, with
drums and flies. were flying wedges through
the crowds from time to time.
The hotel corridors where the committees
were sitting were thronged with people in
terested in the proceedings. Before the
rooms of the New York delegation an in,-
mense crowd waited eagerly for news Vt
their action. For two hours the sole topic
of conversation was the governor of New

in the visitors sections and the demand
for scapers' tickets on the outside.
A number of visitors came over from
Washington to view the convention. prom-
nent among them being Adjutant General
Corbin and Colonel Lemly.
Governor Roosevelt's entrance into the
hall was made the occasion of a greater
ovation than he received yesterday. They
cheered and applauded him and then
his hand, so that an officer had to clear
the way for the governor to reach his seat.
When Temporary Chairman Wolcott
raped for order the band burst forth with
the national anthem and the vast audience,
numbering today at least 1900 people,
was played. 1t was spontaneous tribute
to the patriotism which indeed has been a
distinguishing feature of this convention.
An Inspiring Incident.
Chairman Wocott aroused the conven-
ton to a high pitch Of enthusiasm when
he presented fifteen gray-haired survivors
Of the convention of 1856. The most aged

vention. AS he held 1t proudly aloft the
delegates and visitors rose to their feet,

ing continued for several minutes. Then
the band gave another national air and
again the patriotic fervor broke forth in
cheering and applause.

Ieaden sky of the cold winter day, they gath
cred in their embrace the countless bodies Of
those whom a demOniacal cruelty sent to death
in the frigid bosom of the river.
On they come, In hOrrid ghastly procession,
jostling each other they roll inertly, i'm
passivey along Here and there hand or arm
appears above the water as if to demand the
attention of living men-here and there palId
face appears for a moment above the waves
then disappears; then whole figures are seen roll
ing and swaying in the waters of the river, and
every now and then a body is pushed up the
bank and left there, that all men may in
dubitably know what those moving white
shadowy figures beneath the water are.
In hundreds upon hundreds they come Old
and voung-men, women and children-a great
final gathering of the dead-to make one final
united protest against the hellish hends who
had done them to death. and against the system
in whose name they had been destroyed
It was a silent protest for those mute lips
could never open in speech again but it was a
Drotest which viii last through all time.

publicans on watch. or their heads were crushed
with the butt end Of musket, and occasionally
when one of the barges did not sink quickly
enough, they were fired at with heavy guns
The reader may ask why, since there must have
been some humane souls still left in France, no
attempts were made to rescue the condemned
creatures from their murderers. Mr.. Jephson
has eloquent commentary on this. Describ-
ing one party Of prisoners on the way to the
