When WI Ting Fang, the famous Chin

somewhat forgetful from a severe cold,
missed one day from the front of his cap the
immense diamond he always wears there,
he was dreadfully frightened. A friend
pointed out that the statesman had mad
vertently donned his turban wrong side

the rear. Had WI Ting Fang been wear

New York; May 21.-Carnesie Hall

with an audience eager to hear the al
dress Of President Roosevelt in the in
terests of Presbyterian home missions,
the occasion marking the close Of the
centennial celebration Many Of the
audience remembered that Presidents
Cleveland and Harrison had made ad-
dresses from the same platform on the

When President Roosevelt stepped TO

the smoke blew across the stage, he
laughed and said: There goes the
mystery now" referring to the mystery
of the creed. The presidents address
was on home missions and the 1O0th
anniversary of missionary work by the
Presbyterian church.
In conclusion President Roosevelt
said Il made up my mind to speak 10
you of the manifestations of the spirit
OF national righteousness, of something
that has taken place this day of the
action OF this nation which eliminated

republic on its course. That has repre-

THR STEAMER REPUBLIC
The Popular Excursion Flyer Will be 10
Fine Trim This Season

In less than two weeks the popular
steamer Republic win be ready for her
summer trips, although her regular sea-
son will not begin until June -. She is
now at the shlpyard of Neahe & Levy
wnere a small army of mechanics are
actively engaged in putting her in finer
trim than ever The improvements be
dng made lo the Republic are quite ex-
tensive including a handsome new
smoSestack and new wheelhouses The
boilers, engines and all auxiliarx ma
chinery are being thoroughly overhauled,
and every detail looking TO safety and
comfort is receiving the closest inspec-
tion and attention, The entire work of
improvement on the famous excursion
flyer, which VIII involve an outlay Of full
iy $4,000, is being done under the careful
and competent supervision of Captain l..
II. Cone, manager of the Cape May
Steamship Company.
There rs every assurance that the COM
ing season win be the most successful the
steamer Republic ever had. Captain Cone
has more excursions booked for her now
than she carried during the entire sea
son of 1901. Almost every church organi-
zation or fraternal society taking the
grand trip to Cape May on the Republic
last year is listed to go again this sea-
son. with many more Of a like desirable
character added. In fact, all but six of
the excursions booked are to be given
under the auspices Of well-known church
es. W. .s in itself ample proof of the
high moral tone and excellent manage
Inent Of the steamer Republic. A liberal
and progressive move has been made by
Captain Zone in making the rate the
same for an excursion parties, which
means that those giving an excursion Of
100 or over. are entitled to 40 per cent.
on tne tickets sold-double the profit al.
lowed heretofore to small parties. Th
Republic will make several charter ex
eursions in June before she begins hel
regular daily trips to Cape May and re-
turn.
