ing around about the growth of trees,
but about the biggest of the whole
series comes from West Stockbridge,
Mass, where it is alleged may be
seen maple tree which measures L.
feet ; inches in circumference a
foot above the ground Fifteen feet
from the ground there are one or two
birch limbs growing, and it is alleged
that higher up on the tree are currant
and raspberry bushes that bear fruit
each year. Massachusetts still speaks
for herself" but that tree story indi-
Gates that she is talking too much.

The wind, never more than nine
and sometimes as low as three knots,
was too light and shifty to carry the
contestants over the 3O-mile course in
the time allotted by the rules. At
the end of five and half hours, the
prescribed time, the race was official
ly declared off and the yachts were
towed back to their berths inside of
Sandy Hook. When the gun aboard
the committee boat was fired to call
attention to the signal declaring the
race off, the American yacht was still
five miles from the finish line. The
Englishman was we'll astern of her,
the experts estimating her distance
beyond the Columbia at over three
quarters of a mile.

The death of President Mckinley
should serve as a reminder to writer's
and takers to make a sharp dis
tinction between the presidency and
the occupant of the presidential
chair Criticism of the president
should always be respectful of the
office and mindful that whatever the
presidents pers onal character the
fact that he is the chosen head OF
the nation entities him to considerate
treatment. Of course, it is hardly
conceivable that an utterly unworthy
man might be elected president, and
it is far from probable.

ALL MAY BE IN TExARKANA.
Amount Taken from Express Safes Now
Declared to BE mt Least $4,000
Robbery Was Nycll Contrived by Those
Who Executed the job.

TeZarkana, Ark, Sept 6.-The six
masked men who robbed the south
bound cotton belt passenger train four
miles from here are thought to be in
this city. 1t was at first thought the
men were in the woods, and many
posses We're sent out to hunt them
The posses have returned here, hav.
ing called the bloodhounds from the
track. 1t has been learned that the
robbers secured one bag of gold which
required the combined efforts of two
men to carry from the express car tc
the engine. The through safe was
blown open with dynamite. 1t is be-
lieved the robbers are Texarkana men
or at least one man, the remainder be-
ing boys. The amount of the booty it
Is now said will reach nearly $4,000
Pursuit is now confined strictly to
Texarkana. The train southbound
from Texarkana had reached the Texas
and Pacific crossing, four miles south
of Texarkana, at 1925 D. m. AS it
stopped to blow, six men boarded the
train. Two of these were on the en-
CINE and compelled the engineer and
fireman to go back and cut the mail
and express cars from the train. When
this had been done, the six men
boarded the engine, left the fireman
with the train, and the engineer was
instructed to pull out south. The
train was run to Eylau, small sid
ing. where a stop was made. While
one man guarded the engine the five
others went back to the express car
forced the doors, and blew open the
safe. They took their time at the
work, and when they had concluded
returned to the locomotive with two
sacks heavy with booty These they
tossed on the engine. Turning to the
engineer, one said: We'll just she'll
road you here. You are not the only
engineer in this crowd, and I guess we
can run the machine few miles with
out your assistance" The robbery
was done by men more experienced in
ra1lrcading than in robbery. They
knew the stops of the train and were
prepared for the emergency thus pre-
sented. They were armed, but did not
make unnecessary display of their
weapons. All were masked and each
wore coat. The country where the
holdup occurred is densely wooded

would benefit her, but she carried it
to an extreme that finally she had to
be restrained. She was induced to en-
ter a sanitarium near Philadelphia,

showed little Improvement and she
was removed to another retreat in
Connecticut, where one of the most
eminent specialists of the country
could watch her. When she was re-

though she would continue to have
vagaries which might annoy us, she
was harmless. Soon after that my
father took her to Europe, and has

CROWDS SHOUT A WELCOME.
Immense ThrOng Assemblies at the FIX
position Grounds--Thc President Took
Prominent Part in Today's Cere-
monies at Pan-American Exposition.

Buffalo. N. Y, Sept president
Mckinley, in whose honor today has
been set aside on the Pan-American
exposition calendar, entered Buffalo
last night through the portals of the
rainbow city. A few of the party left
the presidential train at the Central
station, but the president and Mrs.
Mckinley, the Misses Barber and Miss
Sarah Duncan, the presidents nieces,
and the members of the reception conf
mittee were taken at once to the north
gate of the exposition grounds. The
screeching of whistles and the BOOM
ing of guns greeted the presidents
train as it passed along the lake and
river fronts over the belt line tracks
to the grounds. AS the train flashed
past the front salute Of twenty-one
guns doomed forth from Fort Porter.
An immense crowd had assembled at
the railroad terminus at the exposition
grounds to await the arrival of the
president. From the electric tower
down the west side of the court of
fountains as far as the triumptal
bridge people were packed so closely
together that there was scarcely room
to move.
The immense throng awaited pa
tiently and at $50 O'Clock the blowing
of whistles in the factories north Of
the exposition grounds announced the
approach ri the train. A few minutes
later President Mckinley With Mrs.
Mckinley leaning on his arm and sur
rounded hx-+ tho rooopti0n MI co
emerged from the entrance to the ter
minal station. A great cheer went up
from the thousands who caught
glimpse of the party and it was taken
up aud re-echoed by the others farther
back, who although they could not see
the president, knew what the cheering
meant. President Mckinley with Mrs.
Mckinley and John G. Milburn, presi-
dent of the exposition company, en-
tered the first carriage, which was
drawn by four handsome bays. It was
with difficulty that the police kept the
passageway clear for the carriages,
which proceeded slowly toward the
Lincoln parkway entrance. The presi-
dent acknowledged the salutations of
the crowd by bowling and raising his
hat. Mrs. Mckinley, who looked re-
markedly we'll after the tiresome jour-
ney, also smiled happily. The car
riages paused for a moment on the
triumphal bridge to give the members
of the party a moment to take in the
beauties of the grounds. They were
then driven rapidly out of the Lincoln
parkway entrance up the parkway to
Delaware avenue to the home of Mr..
Milburn whose guest President and
Mrs. Mckinley and the members of
their party will be during their stay in
the city. The president remained
quietly in the house during the evening
retiring at an early hour. This morn
ing at 10 O'Clock he left Mr. Milburn's
house accompanied by an escort and
proceeded directly to the exposition
grounds, where ceremonies were held
in honor of the day.
