Pity

Beauty

The most beautiful thing in
the world is the baby, all
dimples and JOY. The most
pitiful thing is that same baby,
thin and in pain. And the
mother does not know that a !
little fat makes all the differ,
cnCe.
Dimples and JOY have gone,
and left hollows and fear the
fat, that was comfort and
color and curve--all but pity
and love--is gone.
The little one gets no fat
from her food. There is some
thing Wrong;ltlS either her food
or food-milI. She has had no
fat for weeks; is living on what
she had stored in that plump
little body of hers; and that's
gone. She is starving for fat:
it is death, be quick!

Whom Irving Forgot Himself.

Ren Webster, an English actor, told
a good story of how he held his own
when Sir Henry Irving happened TO De

there Is a touching scene between Le'
suroues (played by Irving) and his
daughter Julie, of which Didier (Mr'
Ben Webster) is a perfectly silent wit

One night Sir Henry. Instead OF max
ing his long speech. appealed In trem'
bling tones to Mr.. Webster: Speak to
her, DidIer; speak to her" Didier was
dumfounded. There was an awiul
pause. Irving. quite unconscious OF
his own mistake, frowned wrathfully
at the young actor. but Mr.. Webster
equal to the occasion. gave way to a
burst Of tears and exclaimed. Il can

OF THE ROUGH RIDERS.
In 1895 Colonel Roosevelt resigned
his position on the board of civil
service commissioners to accept the
presidency of the New York board
of police commissioners, an investi-
cation having shown the appalling
corruption of the New York police
officials. Many drastic and radical
reform measures were put into effect
during his administration, with the
result that things we're greatly i'm
proved and complains became less
numerous and insistent. In 1897
Colonel Roosevelt resigned his posi-
ton to become assistant secretary of
the navy under President McKin-
ley.
On the outbreak of the Spanish
American war in 1898, Colonel
Roosevelt resigned as assistant SEQ
rotary and undertook the Organiza-
ton of a regiment Of Western COW
boys and hunters, subsequently
known in the history of the war as
the Rough Riders, Colonel Roose,
vel6 had experienced in earlier years
the hardy, outdoor life of the Wes-
tern plains and had moreover en-
joyed some brief military experience
as a captain in tho New York State
militia. Consequently it was nos
surprising that his martial emotions
should have prompted him to give
up his position in the navy tor the
purpose of going to the front at the
head of such an organization as the
Rough Riders. But when the regi-
ment was made up he modestly de-
clined the command in favor of Col.
Leonard Wood, accepting for him,
himself the rank of lieutenant-colo-
mel. Without undertaking to fol-
low him through the vicissitudes of
his brilliant military career it suffices
to say that he acquitted himself with
distinguished gallantry and soldier
ship. In all of the engagements
which preceded the fall of Santiago,
the Rough Riders took an import
ant part and at the battle of San
Juan Colonel Roosevelt himself led
the desperate charge, winning the
admiration of his enthusiastic fol-

Theodore Roosevelt, President of
the United States.
SKETCH OF HIS R z


He Has Been Legislator, Head of Police
Governor of New York-Sworn in as Vice
President last March.
Washington, d. c., September H.
Theodore Roosevelt ara today SaOO9n
an as President of the United States
Of america.
President Roosevelt will be 43 years
old next month, having been born
in New York city, October ~, 1858.
On his fathers side he came of study
Dutch stock, while his mother was
a native of Georgia.
Colonel Roosevelt first became
prominent in New York politics as
an advocate of civil service reform.
From 1882 to 1884 he was an assem-
blyman in the New York Legisla-
ture and introduced the first civil
service bill which was passed in 1883,
almost simultaneously with the pas
sage of the celebrated measures in
Congress. On account of his scholas-
tic and %oratorical accomplishments
he advanced rapidly to the front in
political life and in 1884 was made
chairman of the New York delega-
ton to the National Republican Con
vention. Two years later he expe-
rienced his first political ~reverses,
when he became an independent can
didate for mayor of New York city.
Although he received the indorse-
ment of the Republican organiza-
zion, he was defeated at the polls.
In 1889 President Harrison appointed
him civil service commissioner and
he served as chairman of the board
until 1895.
While occupying this important
political position he was rigid in ap-
plying civil service principles to all
executive departments, with the re-
suit that during this administration
the number of federal employees
placed under the benefits of this sys-
tenn was increased from IA, 900 to
10000.

NORTH CAROLINA SCHOOL CENSUS.

1t Shows That Practically All Eligible to
Public Institutions are Native Born-High
Per Centage of Illiteracy
5 The Census Bureau has issued a
bulletin giving the number of per
sons of school, militia and voting
ages in the State of North Carolina
for the census year 1900.
In North Carolina persons of
school age are practically all of
native birth, the foreign-born ele-
ment of this class constituting only
one-tenth of 1 per cent. of the whole
number in the State. Colored per
o n of school age constitute in
North Carolina 34.9 per cent. of the
whole number of persons of school
age and comprise chiefly persons of
negro descent. Males of militia age
are practically all of native birth.
In North Carolina males of voting
age are substantially all of native
birth, only six tenths of 1 per cent.
of the whole number being OF foreign
birth.
Among males of voting age, as a
whole, there is a considerable pro-
portion of i~lliterates, the per centage
being 29.4 per cent. This somewhat
large per centage is due principally
to the presence among males of vot-
ing age of a large number of Hitter
ate persons Of negro descent.
The numbers for North Carolina
are: Children of school age, 753, 1926,
of whom $50 are foreign born, $685.
O44 colored, 1881 males and 376, 215
females. Males of militia age, 1926,
2O2, of whom 1,S47 are foreign born
and &c. Q colored. Males of voting
age, Az, SIS, of whom $3.50 are
foreign born and 1884, 15 colered.

CzOLGOsz AND HIS CRIME.

No Indications Of Insanity-He Had No Per-
sOnal Grivanoe, but Wished to "Hslp the
Anarchist Cause"
NEW YORK, Aug. 14.-The New
York Outlook Of to-day has the fol
lowing regarding the assassin of
President Mckinley:
The young man who committed
this atrocious and mUrderous assault
had no personal grievance. He at
first gave his name as Frank Nee
man, later as Leon F. Czolgosz. He is
of Polish descent, but of American
birth. His mother, who, with other
relatives, seems strangely callous at
the Infamous notoriety of her son.,
declares that he has always been con-
sidered of weak intellect, but the
care with which his scheme was
planned and carried out indicate
sanity and intelligence. He is re-
garded by the physicians and police
authorities as in full possession of
his wits and as morally and men
tally responsible. The sole melting
reason for his crime, he says, is his
belief in Anarchism and his wish to
do something to prove his devotion
to ''the cause" He fatty denies
having had any aid or instigation
further than the violent diatribes of
such Anarchistio agitators as Emma
Goldman, whom he particularly
names. This Goldman woman is al
ignorant, voluble, raving lecturer,
whose addresses counsel violence in
reckless but general terms, and she
is regarded by theoretical Anarch-
lists, and even by such men as John
Most, as voicing nothing but her
own vicious desire for notoriety.
CZolgOsz listened to Emma Goldman
and read Anarohistio papers in West
ern cities he has lived in Detroit,
Chicago, and Cleveland, and his re-
lations with Anarchist societies in
these places T being fully investi-
gated. The authorities seem to be-
lieve in the existence of a plot, but
it may be pointed out that the great
est danger from "force Anarchists"
is the diabolioal cunning which puts
in place of the old-fashioned plots
and conspiracies the Indictment to
the individual Anarchist to edo a
deed" entirely on his own initiative
and without consultation with
others.

LOOKS BAD FOR THE STRIKERS.

New Workers Going to Mills, but Presi-
dent shaffer Declares That the Battle of
the Men Against the Steel Corporation
Will Go On Until It is Won.
PITTsBURG, Sept. 11.-While stories
of a peaceful settlement of the strike
of the Amalgamated Association
were heard to-day with much force
and persistency, President Shaffer
continued to deny them emphati-
cally and said that the battle Of the
steel workers should go on until
they won. He denied that the ex-
ecutive board had instructed him to
settle the strike on any terms and
said that he would not go to New
York or make any further peace
move for the present.
While the president of the Amalga-
mated Association was standing in
this position the officials of the Steel
Corporation were putting forth &C.
tual efforts to start their plants. This
was particularly the case on the
South Side. During to-day the COM
pany held the strikers pickets back
by show of police and got a lot of
provisions, cooking utensils and cots
for the men to sleep on into the Mo-
nongahela plant of the American
Tin Plate Company. It was officially
announced at the same time that
there was an ample number of men
ready to enter the plants and start
the mills as soon as they in

lowers and plucking victory from
the jaws Of defeat. On July II,
1898, he was commissioned Colonel
in recognition of his distinguished
services on the field. When the
war was over no hero returned
home with greater prestige than
Colonel Roosevelt.
But still higher honors awaited
him. On September %, 1898, Colonel
Roosevelt received the Republican
nomination for Governor of New
York, and in the ensuing battle of
ballots he carried the election over
Judge Augustus W. Van Wyck, the
Democratic candidate. Later on,
when the Republican national con-
vention met and before he had fairly
entered upon his administration as
Governor, he received over his own
protest the Republican nomination
for Vice-President of the United
States IN the ticket with William
Mckinley. Since then the events of
his public career are too recent to
call for recapitulation. On the 4th
of March last, when President Nc
Kinley took the oath of office for
second time as chief magistrate of
the United States, he was formally
indicted into the Office of Woe
President.
