known colored man, who was secre-
tary of the Drivers Association. lie
had an extensive acquaintance among
the colored people of the city, and
when the remains were borne to st.
Paul's Church, on A street Yesterday
afternoon, to have the last words
said by the Rev. A. P. Henley, the
church contained about the largest
congregation that ever had crawded
within it. There had been another
funeral in the neighborhood, after
which the congregation in St. Paul IS
was augmented, accounting for the
unusual attendance. ~
Pastor Henley had just finished his
eulogy of Mr.. Shields and the casket
was being closed, when one of the
men standing near the stove shifted
his position t. make his way toward
the door. In doing SO, he accident
ally stumbled against one of the iron
legs supporting the hot stove. 1t
was sufficient to knock the leg from
it's position, and in an instant the
stove had topplcd over, throwing
glowing Goals over the floor, and fill
ing the room with smoke.
Instantly there was a commotion.
Men jestled against women in an
eager and fcar-stricken effort to get
from the crowded room. There was
a jam of humanity about the exit.
Pastor Henley beseeched the congrc-
CATION to retire in an orderly manner
but his words fell on needless ears,
for nearly every person present was
bent in getting into the street.
Several men lost their hats during the
panic.
-Four or five men, who were the
first to leave the church. rushed to
the engine house of the Liberty Fire
Company, and clamord eXcitcdly for
assistance. The lircmen. seeing smoke
issuing from the church structure,
which is Of frame, ran with their
apparatus to the place. When they
arrived they found no necessity to 60 ,
into active service. The coal had
caused an incipient blaze ON the floor. ,

WILL HE CAMPAIGN?
Matter of the President Making Poll
tical Speeches Discussed.

Washington, May % President
Roosevelt will probably make num-
ber of speeches in the fall campaign.
This has not been fully decided on,
but the program is reasonably certain
to be carried out il the conditions
shall warrant it. tits believed that a
series of conservative speeches by the
president will be conducive to good
results. Whether they will be explain
atory of the policy of the administra-
tion or the party in congress has not
yet been decided.
In fact, it has not been decided that
the president will speak at all. 1t is
known, however, that the wisdom Of
his doing so has been under discussion
by the campaign managers and the
president. On the whole, the project
meets with appreciation, but a final
decision will not be reached until it is
time to act, which will not be till early
in September, when the Maine and
Vermont elections take place.

carriers in the service in Kansas City,
Kansas steal two packets, containing
thirty-two letters, which had been laid
on the stamping table in Kansas City,

ceiling had been made for the purpose
of allowing postofiice inspectors to
watch the stamping table unperceived
and for week they have been watch
ing it at various times in the hope of
catching thief, who has been sys-
tematically stealing letters in the
postoflice for the last eight months,
Sturgeon was arrested Immediately
after he had placed the letters in his
pocket. He confessed his guilt after
being taken to the private Office OF

white as sheet and he trembled vio-
lently. He said he had been taking
letters from the stamping table in the
postotiice for the last eight months
and had no definite idea as to how
much money he secured.

ROOSEVELTS VACATION
Will Spend Greater Part Of Summer

Washington, May 25.-The presi

the greater part of the coming summer
in Washington. According to original
plans which have been semi officially
announced, Mrs. Roosevelt was to
leave for her summer home at Oyster
Bay early in June, ard the president
was to spend as much time as he
could spare from his official duties at
the same place. 1t is still proposed
that Mrs. Roosevelt will go to her
summer home, but her stay there will
be much shorter than was originally
contemplated. 1t is expected now that
she will return to Washington 10 July
or not later than August, and remain
there in anticipation of preparation
for the visit of the stork exp pected in
