Makes a Preliminary Address.
President Roosevelt was introduced
to the audience in the Coliseum by
Col. Jacob l.. Green. Through Sena-
tor Platt he rendered his thanks to the
state for the splendid reception ac-
corded him, and to Mayor Sullivan he
made him thanks to the people of the
city of Hartford. Then turning to the
audience he said: Before beginning
the speech that 1 had intended and

stress. as he ought to lay ii, upon the
fact that it was gift of welcome from
the wage workers, upon whom ulti-

he coupled the words of greeting with

Providence, Aug. 23.-Not since the
visit here of President Hayes ID years
ago has the chief executive been ac-
corded so brilliant and thoroughly
general reception as that rendered
today to President Roosevelt on the
occasion of his tour through this
state People came from every part
of the state and gathered $4,000
strong about the platform at the city
hall from which the president deliv-
cred an address. An ovation that
lasted five minutes was the preSi-
dents greeting when he arose to
speak.
The president in his speech called
attention to the wonderful develop
ment of the country during the last
generation, stating that while this
great material prosperity is a source
of much congratulatiOn, it also
brought with it great responsible
ties. One of the dangers of the ire
mendOus industrial growth, he said,
has been the very great increase in
the large private and especially
large corporate fortunes. In regard
to trusts, he said: Immediate need
in dealing with trusts is to place
them under real, not nominal, con-
troll of a sovereign to which, as its
creature. the trust shall owe allegi-
ance and in whose courts the sover-
eign's order may with certainty be
enforced. In my judgment this SOY

Cou1dock's company was once barn
storming through Virginia. 1t was at
Petersburg, and the play was "The
Chimney Corner" All through the au-
dience sat in distressing silence, neither
laughing nor shedding tear, although
"The Chimney Corner" abounds with
humor and pathos and the company
then producing it was of great merit
for those times. Couldock appeared TO
pay no attention to the apathy of his
audience until just at the close of the
performance. The concluding lines OF
the play are somewhat to this effect:
'You, John, are happy, and so are you,
Ellen; so am /, and so are we all. Let
us hope that our friends the public
share our happiness"
But, to the surprise of everybody,
Couldock fell into a towering passion
when he reached these lines, and in
laundering tones he said, you, John,
are happy, and so are you, Ellen; so
am I, and so are we all except the fools

Romance of the Corinthian Column.
n the winter n young girl had died
in Corinth Some time afterward her
maid gathered together various trim
kets and playthings which the girl had
loved and brought them TO the girfs
grave. There she placed them in a
basket near the monument and put
a large square tile upon the basket 70
prevent the wind from overturning it.
1t happened that under the basket was
root of az acanthus plant. When
spring came, the acanthus sprouted,
but its shoots were not able to pierce
the basket, and accordingly they grew
around 1t, having the basket in their
midst. Such of the long leaves as
grew up against the four protruding
corners of the tile on the top of the
basket curled round under these cor
ners and formed pretty volutes.
Kallimachos, the sculptor, walking
that way one day, saw this and i'm
mediately conceived the notion that the
form of the basket with the plaque
ON top of it and surrounded by the
leaves and stalks of acanthus would
be comely heading for columns in ar
chitecture. He from this idea formed
the beautiful Corinthian style of capt.
tai. Such, at least, is the story as the
architect Vitruvius told it 1900 years
ago.

could not succeed in passing the tyre

"Tut, tutw "Oh, dear, noww "Well

dences of a perturbed spirit.
One day, when the perspiration flow
ed freely from his lofty brow and his
honest countenance shone with lus
ter and radiance which, alas, were not
due to calmness of soul, but rather the
heat of the sun and his laborious eff
forts to move the obstinate gutta

was tempted to indulge in strong Ian

The Sacred Bone.


The bone luz, or the resurrection
bone" Is at the lower extremity of the
spinal column. The Jewish rabbis
taught that it was incorruptible, and
from it, as from seed, the human
body would spring at the resurrection.
There Is a Jewish tradition that the
Emperor Hadrian questioned n rabbi
as to the existence of this bone and
was convinced by the production Of
one by the Jewish teacher. Various
attempts were made to destroy it. 1t
was cast into furnace and came forth
unconsumed; 1t was STEPPED in boiling
water, but remained unsoftened; 1t was
smitten with hammer, and the ham
mer was broken. Some trace Of the
former reverence for the bone is found
In the modern name.

There are many curious points about
crabs and Holsters. Every one Of
either genus is provided with big
claw for crushing and a small claw
adapted by its shape for cutting as
scissors do. With these two claws
they tear the food they capture into
fragments and feed themselves liter
ally from hand TO mouth" But there
Is every reason to suppose that the
claws are intended quite as much for
fighting as for eating purposes, mas
much as such powerful hands are not
needed for devouring the soft food they
prefer.

ROCK ISLAND REACHING OUT.
Pueblo Southwark to Santa

Colorado Springs, Nov. At is re-
ported that within thirty days the
Chicago. Rock Island & Pacific rail-

of 265-mile extension from Pueblo
south to Trinidad. thence over the
Ration mountains to Santa Rosa, New
Mexico, where it will strike the Rock
Island branch hich runs from Liberal
Kansas. and which connects with the
Southern Pacific system at Ell Paso,
Texas.
Several days ago J. +. Cary. chief
engineer of the Rock Island system,
was in the Springs to begin active OPP
erations toward this end, but owing to
the failure of the chief roadmaster to
meet him here. Mr.. Carey left the
city without accomplishing anything
He will return shortly with other high
officials of the road and work will be
commenced.
During his stay here Mr.. Carey said
that all the surveys had been made,
and that the distance was 265 miles.
The Rock Island is anxious to get in
to the Las Animas county coal beds.
owing to the present expense of Sc
curing coal that has been transported
over other lines. The second reason
for the new line is the enormous
profit in the tourist business between
California and Colorado, it being stat
ed that eventually the Rock Island
will build n road from Santa Rosa to
San Diego. California. the company
having already opened negotiations
for a survey between the two points.
Another projected move is the
building of its own line from Colorado
Springs to Pueblo. this forty-five-mile
run at present being made over the
Denver & Rio Grande tracks.
