West Virginia, Utah, Ohio, Alabama,
Pennsylvania. Louisiana. New York,
Kentucky, Indiana and elsewhere will

ducts should be well represented.

One Year all the Peoples of the West
ern Hemisphere chipped in on a Grand
Exposition. The Purpose of the Show
was to assemble, inside the Fence, the
Marvels of Art. Architecture, Manufac-
lures. Machinery and Agriculture. All
the Ten-Strikes OF the New World were
to be punched on one Lot so that a 50
cent Ticket would call for a Liberal Edu-
cation.
The Heavy Editorial Writers. who pull
the Levers of the Universe, endorsed the
Enterprise. They said It would be Great
Stuff for the Sister Republics to meet
in Friendly Competition close by the wa
ters of the Unsaited Seas and within
sound of the Roar of Niagara. They
wanted People to understand that they
knew where Buffalo was.
The Managers of the Fair sent far and
near for whiskered Men and dreamy
Eyes and big Cravats TO Sculp and Paint
and figure out Color Schemes. The Gen
eraI Instructions were to Make Chicago
look like a bedraggled Side Show.
The Citizens dug up freely and the
Committees worked all Night on the
Plans. for IT was determined that this

THEODORE ROOSEVELT,
The Twenty-Fiftb Citizen Of n RE-
public to Assume the High
Office Of President
or the United states of Americn-A
brief sketch of the Man md His
Garcer-Tbe Youngest Man Ever
In the Presidential Chair.

Theodore Roosevelt, who by the
death Of President Mckinley, is called
upon TO assume the onerous duties of
the highest official position in this coun-
Der 9th. 1853. His father, a merchant
and philanthroplst, was OF Knicker-
booker stock. His mother was a de-
scendant Of Archibald Bulloch, the first
president Of Georgia in the Revolution.
Theodore Roosevelt is a man of
strong animal instincts and perfectly
healthy mind. As a child, he was a
w~eakling, but he developed into a
sturdy man by taking excellent care OF
himself and paying proper attention
to the development of the body. He
was backward in his studies. but kept
at work with logged perseverance.
He graduated at Harvard Univers-
ity in 1880.
On emerging from college he went
abroad looking for further CULTURE, and
when he was not studying he was en-
gagged in mountain climbing or ONE
other healthy outdoor exercise. He re-
turned TO America in 1891, married
Miss Alice Lee, of Boston, and began
the study of American history, pre-
paratory for a career in politics, after
he had found the study of law in the
office of his Uncle Robert 100 slow for
a man of his temperament.
First appearance I'm Politics.
The gang at the primaries, where
the amateur politician took his
first lesson in 1881, found that
thINnddNF pynG a nAn1 fnIInvv with
decided opinions, and more than
ordinary intelligence. and he naturally
became a leader in his district, and was
elected TO the New York assembly. In
that capacity he astonished his more
timid associates by boldly a~ntagonizing
the machine in New York City, and
forcing a bill that robbed the city oun
ell of some of its powers. This feat
developed the fact that Teddy was a
fearless fighter, and it won the respect
OF both parties.
In 1884, after three short years in
politics he went to the national con-
vention as chairman of the Republican
delegation. 1t was a very unusual
honor to be conferred upon so young a
man. He had by his own efforts Sc
cured the passage OF bills which de-
prived certain New York officials of fat
fees and placed them on the salary list.
The city clerks fees had formerly
amounted to more than $50, 900 a year
and the sheriff's Office was worth $780,
00G in fees.
He lost his wife and his mother in
the same year and the shock of these
events added to the hard work he had
been doing in politics and in literary

LInERrY,s woRsr ENEMY.

Assassination having done its WORK
and laid low William Mckinley. Theo-
aore Roosevelt is now President Of the
United States.
There is no reason to believe that
the bullet of anarchy aimed at the life
OF the government will work any
change even in the policy of the ad-
ministration.
Mr.. Roosevelt had always been in
tborough accord with Mr.. Mckinley in
matters of administrative policy and
has been equally in accord with his
PARTY. its leaders and the platform on
which he was elected. In other words
there is no likelihood that the assassin
alton of President Mckinley will work
any change at Washington so far as
governmental policy is concerned, re-
gardless of the possible changes that
may occur in the cabinet and the per-
senal advisers of the President.
1t goes to show the utter folly and
futility of anarchism, which besides
doing wanton murder simply tends to
strengthen and bulWark the govern
ment it would overthrow, to make
stronger and draw closer the lines on
popular freedom.
The cause of liberty could have no
greater enemy.

which he follows as any mar would
any other hobby.
II is plain to be seen that the Rev.
Perkins. in the language of the wick
cd world. is out for the stun" and
isn't caring who knows 1t. At the
same time he does not see that il is
incompatible with his church duties,
or his standing as a minister OF the
gospel. OF that it should prevent him
from continuing TO PROFOUND the Word
OF Him who overturned the tables Of
the money-changers in the temple.
Rev. Perkins probably sees no harm
in a quiet game Of draw" either. In
fact, Rev. Perkins is unique.

THE TICKER IN THE PULPIT

Rev. Dr. w. s. Perkins, pastor of a
rich Uniyersallst congregation in Mer-
iden, Conn, has decidedly advanced
views on the ethics Of the pulpit.
Unlike his brothers of the cloth DR..
Perkins sees no harm in stock gam
bling, and when charged with playing
the big Wall street game and with
having a financial interes. in a stock
brokerage firm in new Haven
promptly admitted it and preached a
sermon to his wealthy congregation in
which he stated that he had always

IN it. that it is cold business with him

PUBLIC IIBR ARIES.

The annual report of the United
States Bureau Of Education states that
there are 2.O77 more libraries in this
country than Ave years ago. In that
time the number Of volumes has In
creased 12.014,251. These gains APP
pear greater when comparison is made
with the totals for last year.
There are now 1888 public libraries
containing over 1000 volumes each
ISIS libraries containing between 800
and 900 volumes. and thousands with
less than 300 volumes. In the 1ibrar-
les having more than 800 books there
are 46. $40. SOC volumes. Library cir
culation was over So. o 900 volumes
last year.
Moreover, there are thousands of
private libraries in this country. many
of which equal the public institutions.
1t is predicted that the next. five
years will witness an even larger gain
both in number of libraries and vol
umes.
Andrew Carnegie's contributions are
cited as one of the main stimulating
forces behind this rapid growth. In
1899 he gave s3,503, 500 for thirty-four
libraries. the next year $685. 900 for
nineteen libraries, and last year s12.-
14S, 500 for eighty-six libraries. The
total for the past three years is s16.-
$1,000 for 100 institutions.
Mr.. C%arnegie's lead has been follow
ed by many other men of wealth in
various parts of the country.

STRIKE ON THE SOUTHERN.
Vice President Cannon Talks of tht
 Situation.

Washin yton, May 31.-Vice- President Cannon today said that the machinists' strike on the Southern Railway is con- fined entirely to the machine shops at Memphis, Knoxville, Birmingham, At lanta, Selma, Spencer and Manchester. Thus far about 400 machinists and ap- prentices and their sympathizers have gone out. Reports received today are to the effect that a few of the strikers have returned to work. No steps have been taken to fill the vacancies. Dis cussing the situation, MT. Cannon said:
 The men are evidently misinformed as to Wet a serious misunderstanding under present conditions is liable to result to the men. We believe that those who stopped work acted without stopping to seriously consider what the outcome of such hasty action might be. I was disappointed in those who acted hastily, but believe they will, upon re- fiection, see their error, consider their duty to their families, themselves and their neighbors, and be guided by 1t rather than the mere mouthings of out side strangers. agitators and walking delegates"
 He said that while the company re- gretted the attitude of the strikers, the latter might be assured that any or der that may be issued relative to the matter will be irrevocable. and in case of serious trouble there will be abso- lutely no cOmpromise."

The Jockeys Peril.
Ainslee's Magazine.

AlHSiee B MdSdIiHSs
 The bogie of jockeys life Is taking on flesh" He dreads this as heauty dreads to lose her charms, and his % Is to avoid the catastrophe. This ,s the pernicious feature of the life, and distinguishes it as a healthful sport from boxing or from football, in which the physical being is developed accord ing to the laws of nature, and issnot outraged or baked. In order to re- duce his weight nine pounds, Monk Overton once remained in a Turkish bath from 10 p. m. one day until 2 D, m, the next, with no nourishment except 8 cup of tea and some toast. Again, Mike Bergen, mounted on fa- voritt, rode such a poor race that the stewards came to the paddock to in- vestigate and punish him for fraud ulent riding. They forgaVe the per- formance, however. when they foVud him collapsed and unable to speak. Knowing that he had to ride at cer- tain weight, Bergen had spent forty eight hours in a Turkish bath, eating nothing whatever. When he reached the track he was to weak that a stim- ulant was necessary. The one drink of whisky he took so demoralized h.j faculties that he could scarcely keep his seat in the saddle. Such violation of physical development, at the age when a boy should be most rapidly maturing. makes 1t difficult for a jockey ever to become robust. Moreover, the mere riding of race is q terrible drain on the nerve force of jockey. A boy may lose pound Jf weight in a hard race.

The Conquest of Korea.
The Nineteenth Century.

ue 1NlncIccHlH century.
 Seventeen centuries ago the Japan ess Emperor Chuai was playing his lute in the presence of his wife and Prime Minister. Whether on account of the music or from some other cause, the Empress became inspired with divine afflatus and began to utter the thoughts put into her mind by the deity. There is land to the west ward" she exclaimed, "and in that land is abundance of treasure, gold and silver dazzling to look upon. This land I will now bestow upon you"
 The Emperor pushed away his lute. If you go up to a high place and look toward the west" said he, there is DO land to be seen, but only the great waters. They are lying spirits who have spoken to yout"
 Then the god was filled with anger, and he again mayed the Empress to prophecy. You are not fit," she said. Ito rule this empire. Go the one road"
 But the Prime Minister trembled when he heard these words, and, said to his master, T am troubled. my heavenly sovereign, by this terrible message. Continue, l pray, to play the august lute."
 The Emperor Chuai commenced to play softly: gradually the sound died away; all was still. They held a light 10 his face and saw that be was dead. But the Empress put herself at the head of her fleet invaded the land Of gold and silver with her warriors, and soon made the three kingoms of Ko> req tributary to Japan
 These things happened. we are told, In the year POI A. D., and the story of the valiant Empress is as familiar 10 a Japanese as Is. that of Boadtcea 10 ourselves.
