THEODORE ROOSEVELT.

energetic worker, and while engaged In
the service of the government has found
time to do a large amount of literary work
and to show his public spiritedness in va
rious ways. He has always been great
lover of sport in it's best sense, and owns
one of the finest ranches of the northwest,
on which he has yearly spent considerable
time. He is a splendid horseman, and par
ticulariy loves to hunt big game.
Mr.. Roosevelt has filled the positions of
the president of the Boone and Crockett
Club of New York, trustee of the American
Museum of Natural History, has been a
member of the London Alpine Club and has
served on the board of the State Charities
Aid Association. In conjunction with his
brother he has continued the work inau-
gurated by his father in the Newsboys
Lodging House in New York.
Mr.. Roosevelts literary work is Of high
standard. He has published History Of
the Naval War Of 1872" Hunting Trips Of
a Ranchman," Life Of Thomas III. Ben
tom and Life of Gouverneur Norris"
Ranch Life and the Hunting Trail His
tory of the Spanish War and THE Life Of
Oliver Cromwell" He has also written an
interesting and instructive history of the
navy, besides many articles on the navy
1t has been a sort of fad with him.
Mr.. Roosevelt is one of the most energetic
and fearless men who have figured In
American politics. He is an earnest re-
publican, but has always been ready to
attack wrong, whether in his own party
or any other.
He is a consistent and practical civil
service reformer, and as civil service COM
missioner was a thorn in the side of spoils-
men, well during the Harrison admin
istration as during the time he served un-
der Mr.. Cleveland. He was fair fighter
and asked no favor. He probably did more
for the cause of civil service reform than
has any other member Of the commission
from it's start.

he loved so well for the remaining three
years and a half of his second term.
The extra papers which awoke Washing
ton this morning to sudden realization
that the worst might be expected before
the day was done, wrought a wonderful
change in the demeanor of the people.
Where yesterday all was hope and con-
fdence, today the air was heavy and the
hearts of those who have been the fell
low townsmen of the President for so
many years, were leaden in their beats.
The direst rumors spread over the city
like q pail. The extra editions of the pa
pers which were issued from time to time
during the morning and afternoon, were
eagerly sought and the latest news from
the Milburn house was asked on every
hand.
With the coming on of the night the bull
letins from Buffalo became grayer and
graver in their tone, and the spirits of the
anxiousiy awaiting people of Washington
dropped in like degree. All thought of
other things fed, and it seemed by
o'clock as though all the residents of the
city were down town, surrounding the
newspaper and telegraph offices. All were
eager to hear the latest word which came
from the wires.
At half-past 6 o'clock the rumor spread
through the crowds that the President was
dead. 1t sent a chill to all who heard it.
A little later, however, the bulletins in
front of the newspaper offices conveyed the
information that the rumor was without
foundation, and at that hour the chief
magistrate was still alive.
This good news. which for the moment
granted relief to the watchers. was greet
Cd rx,;th nd
with the same rapidity as had the ILL.,
After all these unverified rumors, when
the actual news of the Presidents demise
came from the wires. the throngs were
loath to think them true. The wish of
their hearts helped to father. their disbe-
lief in the tragic news.
Washington quickly feels the effect of
such an event as the present one. The
people here feel a home interest in the
President. They have known his familiar
face and figure and have looked upon him
as their neighbor.
President Mckinley has unquestionably
been one of the most popular Presidents
who ever graced the White House. His
democratic spirit and the hospitality which
marked his receptions appealed strongly to
all Washington, and here, perhaps, as no.
where else in the world, was the news so
regretfully and reluctantly received.
The authentic reports, however, could
at last no longer be doubted, and the
Washington public, which had been hoping
against hope and praying up to the very
end that there would be change for the
better, went home slowly and wearily. All
were lamenting in a most woeful manner
the calamity which had Overtaken the ma
ton. and were discussing the widespread
effect which the Presidents death would
have upon all affairs.
The events of tomorrow and the trying
days which are to come they look forward
to with blighted hopes.

THEODORE ROOSEVELT.
He is Now President of the United
States.


Theodore Roosevelt, President of the
United States. comes of a distinguished
New York family. He was born in New
York city October 27, 1858, and was grad
uated at Harvard in $780, and the next
year was elected to the New York as
sembly as a republican. During the ses-
sion of 1882 he was the leader of the MI
norfty and took an active interest In re-
form measures. On his reelection in 1888
he was largely instrumental in carrying
out the state civil service reform law and
an act for the regulation of primary cleo
tions in 1884, as chairman of the COM
mittee on Cities he succeeded in abolish
ing the fees of the county clerk and regis
ter and in providing for their payment by
salaries, this act resulting in curtailing
abuses in the sherif's and surrogate's
offices.
He also secured the passage of bill
that deprived aldermen of the power to
confirm appointments to office, and CEN
tered in the mayor the responsibility of ad-
ministering municipal affairs. In 1884 Mr..
Roosevelt was chairman of the New York
delegation to the national republican con-
yention, and an unsuccessful candidate for
mayor of New York in 1896. Early in
President Harrison's administration Mr..
Roosevelt became a member of the civil
service commission, and throughout his
connection with that commission was a
most aggressive advocate for the extension
of civil service reform. He did much to en-
large the scope of the civil service law. He
resigned from the commission to become a
member of the board of police commission
ers in New York city. and here again he
had ample opportunity to show that ag
gressive spirit in carrying out reforms and
in securing enforcement of law that had
always characterized his career.
Mr.. Roosevelt has always been a most

There has been no indication of a
disposition on the part of the crowd

interior cells near the assassin were

The crowd grows larger and
larger. Each car dumped crowd of
angry men. Perhaps the best sign
of peace was that there were so many
women, but threats heard were
nevertheless loud and daring.
The statement has frequently been
made in the crowd that the police
were entirely in sympathy with the
intention of lynching the prisoner
and that at the proper time the keys
would be thrown out of the window.

GUARDING THE PRISONER.
Crowds Not Allowed Near Where He
is Imprisoned.
By Associated Press.
BUFFALO, N. Y, September 3.
Crowds have assembled on the
main streets in the vicinity of the
newspaper offices and on the streets
surrounding the police headquarters
where Czolgosz is confined. Al
though the sidewalks are so crowded
that pedestrians are forced to walk
in the center of the streets, the crowd
is an orderly one, and no demonstra-
ton against the prisoner has taken
place.
As a precautionary measure ropes
have been stretched across all streets
leading to police headquarters, and
no one is allowed to approach the
station except newspaper men. A
large force of police is on duty about
the building, and any one approach
ing it is challenged at every twenty
or thirty feet. A reserve force is held
in the headquarters building for any
emergency that may arise.
The crowd is a particularly quiet
one, every person silently and eager
ly scanning the bulletin boards for
some word of hope from the Milburn
house.
