Shakes Up the Police.


From Washington he passed to a po-
lice commissionership in New York
city. His peculiar ability to work. and
work on right lines, gave the corrupt
police force such shaking up as it had
never had before. He was police COM
missioner in every sense of the word, (,
unbribable, unapproachable fair to
the fair-minded, severe on the Grim
inal. His books continued to sell in
Increasing number, and the public
through the press, began to have a
broader view of him.
When the Spanish-American war
came he was assistant secre tary of the
navy by the authority of President Nc
kinley. He had much to do with the
organization of the navy for the con-
fiict, and it has always been believed
that his influence largely contributed
to the sending of Admiral Dewey to
Hong-Kong, and thence to Manila bay.
When war became a certainty Mr..
Roosevelt resigned his position in the
navy department, and with Gen. Leon
ard Wood organized the First volun-
teer cavalry, better known as the
rough riders. Gen. Wood was colonel
of this regiment and Mr.. Roosevelt

Office in New York, and invariably re-
fused money compensation for his
services.
OF Delicate Health When n Ind.
Roosevelt was pale and delicate
boy, the very opposite in health of
what he has since become. Plenty of
outdoor air and physical exercise soon
began to give him a good degree of
bodily vigor, and in his college years
he became skilled in boxing and
wrestling.
In Harvard university he held good
rank as scholar, giving especial at
;ention to natural history and gen.
eral historical subjects. After his
graduation from Harvard in 1850 he
continued his studies at Dresden and
then Travelled in Europe and the east.
Roosevelt Enters Politics.
In 1881 Roosevelt, % years of age,
began his active life in New York. And
with him activity was activity. His
father had instilled into his mind
contempt for the man who drifts
through an inactive life of comfortable
self-indulgence, achieving nothing.
lie tried a plunge into New York
politics. In his city district was re-
publican machine combination that
showed no disposition to recognize his
desire to become member of the leg
islature. He fought the machine and
defeated it.
In 1884 he appeared before the ma
ton. His health troubled him and he

lieutenant colonel. The members of
the regiment came from the first fam
lilies in the east, from ranches in the
west, came from wherever good horse
men, daring men and good shots could
be secured.
Forms Unique Regiment.
The regiment was the most UNIQUE
of its kind ever organized, and was
much scoffed at in the beginning. Be-
fore it had been two days in Cuba the
wisdom of its organization was plainly
seen. The men were fitted for any
kind of campaigning. Their colonel
and lieutenant colonel took what they
took. There regiment practically foraged
itself, and was first in the field and
first to be baptized with fire. At Las
Guasimas, Kettle hill and San Juan it
gave up its bravest and best and went
on to victory.
Mr.. Roosevelt was its colonel before
the end of the war, and pronounced by
the foreign military attaches who OBJ
served his conduct in the field as one
of the first military officers of the day.
He was in Santiago at the surrender,

with Spain, governor of New York and
vice president of the United States.
Furthermore, to appreciate fully
the size of Mr.. Roosevelt's product a 5
an author we must bear in mind two
more things-the character of his
work and the diversity of his sub
jects. Most of his books are not such
as could be written off-hand. His His
tory of the Navy in the War of 1872"
and his Winning of the West" involved
a great deal of searching among
archives and old manuscripts in state
and national government offices, in
libraries and in private collections.
His subjects include naval history,
military history, frontier history, mu-
nicipal history, sport, biography, BIZ
ology, politics ethics and book re-
views.
Mr.. Roosevelt's style is that of
plain man telling raightforward
story. After reading his books you
are certain that he never paid any at
tention to his style, and the evidence
is, not that the style is not good, but
that there is absolutely no straining
after effect. He is essentially prac-
tical man, but he is well endowed with
imagination. and this gives t o his work
an occasional poetic touch that ap-
peals to the readers sympathies. He
has, too, power of coming striking
phrases and of putting things in
way that catches the attention. "The
strenuous life" is phrase with

ample revelation as to what manner of
character he will bring-to the presi-
dency. On "Americanism," in an inter-
view in 1893, he said:
81 naturally disapprove of the half
conscious spread-eagle Americanism,
which is ever eXerting itself at the
wrong moments. / dislike it, of
course, when it is put forward as plea
to excuse moral shortcomings of a
kind usually connected with public af-
fairs. Nevertheless, in spite of this
abuse, / am sure that no man can well
play his part in our life who is not hon.

stinct.

ROOSEVELT AS AN AUTHOR.
During Busy Life He Hns Found
Time for Much Writing

1t is now nearly 20 years since Theo-
dore Roosevelt took place in the
public eye as man of affairs. Grant
ing him the prophets three score years
and ten, only little more than third
of his period of maturity has passed.
And yet ID volumes stand to his credit.
And if we add the books in which his
name appears as editor and contrib
utor, like "The History of the Royal
Navy" and the book of which he and
Mr.. Henry Cabot Lodge are joint au-
thors, the total number of his books
is 81.
This would be remarkable in an
author whose sole occupation was
writing. i appears still more so in
man to whom authorship is but an
incident, when we recall that he has
served three terms in the New York
Legislature; that he was for five years
a member of the civil service commits
sion, and for three arduous years pres
ident of the board of police commits
sioners in New York city; that he has
been assistant secretary of the navy,
commander of a regiment in the war

trymen there is one point upon which
/ wish to lay especial stress; that is,
the necessity for feeling of broad,
radical and intense Americanism, if
good work is to be done in any direc-
tion. Above all, the one essential for
success in every political movement
which is to do lasting good is that our
citizens should act as Americans, not
as Americans with prefix and quail
fication-not as Irish-Americans, Ger
man-Americans, native Americans
but as Americans pure and simple.
Opinion on Caste.
''It is an outrage for a man to drag
foreign politics into our contests and
vote as an Irishman or German or 9TH
er foreigner, as the case may be, and
there is no worse citizen than the pro-
fessional Irish dynamiter or German
anarchist, because of his attitude to-
ward our social and political life, not
to mention his efforts to embroil us
with foreign powers. But it is no less
an outrage to discriminate against one
who has become an American in good
faith, merely because of his creed or
birthplace"
OF caste he has written: "As for the
upper social world, the fashionable
world, it is much as it was when por-
trayed in 'Potiphar Papers, save that
modern society has shifted the shrine
at which it pays comical but sincere
homage from Paris to London. Per-
haps it is rather better, for it is less
provincial and trifle more American.

Theodore Roosevelt is the twenty
sixth president of the United States,
and the fifth vice president to succeed
to the executive chair. John Tyler was
the first, succeeding William Henry
Harrison. Millard Fillmore was the
second; he succeeded Zachary Taylor.
The assa ssination of Abraham Lincoln
brought Andrew johnson into the
white house. James A. Garfield was
succeeded by his vice president, Ches-
ter A. Arthur. Roosevelt has one ad-
vantage over all these four men in
that he comes into his great office bet
ter known to the public than any of
them. Almost from boyhood he has
been more or less in the eyes of the
public.
This statesman, legislator, author,

He lost money on his attic venture,
but he returned to New York strong
man physically, and he made the race
for mayor of that city. He was de-
feated, but he laughed. He understood
that the corrupt elements of the city
would not tolerate him, but he waited.
Meanwhile he wrote books-books on
hunting, books on western life, books
on eastern cities. His style in liter
ature was vigorous and pleasing. His
books sold well and the magazines
made great demand for his writings.
The public liked his brseziness, his ev-
ident sincerity, his courage, and par
tally appreciated him even before he
became a national civil service commits

APPEAL NOTED.
Rights of Parties Under Deed of Trust
in Controversy.

In Controversy.
In connection with the decree signed yes
terday by Justice Hagner in the case of
Michigan and others against Woodward and
others, having reference to the rights of
parties under a deed of trust to secure the
Second Workingmen's Building Associa-
ton, an appeal to the Court of Appeals has
been noted by the defendants. The history
OF the case Is stated to be that in 1856 the
father of the complainants borrowed a
certain amount from the building associa-
ton, securing it by a deed of trust upon
certain real estate. He made various
monthly payments thereon. In 1890 he
obtained from John T. Lynch, the secretary
OF the building association, a statement
OF the amount then due it, and claimed
TO nave paid the full amount to Lynch at
the ONCE of an attorney, whereupon Lynch
delivered to him and his wife the original
oeeo OF trust, bond to the building associa-
tion and abstract, the trustees under the
oeed or trust, however, not being called
upon to execute deed of release
FROM that time on until his death in 1892,
II is stated, Michigan made no further pay
ing that his Indebtedness was paid In
1879, according to the records, the building
association notified Nelligan's heirs of the
1act that the amount under the deed of
trust was still due, and threatened to fore
close under the deed of trust whereupon
the suit was instituted by the heirs to en-
join the building association from fore
closing, and praying that it be required to
release the property.
The decree, as passed. directs the trus-
tees under the deed of trust to execute
release to the heirs of the property from
the deed of trust. Mr. Leon Tobriner is the
attorney for the compliments and Mr.
