THE PRESIDENTS SPEECH.
His Forceful Utterances to the veter-
ans of Two Wars.

ans Of Two Wars.
Following is the text of the Presidents
speech:
Mr.. Chairman and you, the Representa-
tives of Indiana-I thank you for your
greeting. and, oh, my comrades and friends.
my fellow~Americans. l cannot tell you how
glad / am to be with you. And / am sure
that you, my own comrades, won't grudge
my saying that there is just one body of
men whose greetings / appreciate. II pos
sible, even more than yours. and that Is the
greeting of the men of the great war. Ours
wasn't a great war, because IL didn't have
TO be. We were perfectly willing to make
II just as big as IL was necessary. AS the
thing turned out, we feel that our chief
claim for comradeship with you. the vet
Grams of the great war, is that at least we
hope we showed the spirit that you would
like to have us show.
when a man takes his oath of muster
he does then all that the patriot can do;
he has then done his duty. After that it
Is largely matter of chance whether he
gets the opportunity to win glory, and
just exactly as much was done by the man
who was mustered In who never had a
chance TO go out OF the country as by the
man who went to Cuba, 70 Porto Rico or
to the Philippines.
The man who was mustered in deserves
the credit, and If he was able TO have OPP
portunity 10 do little more afterward that
was his good luck. but the credit attaches
TO the duty. and the duty was when he was
mustered in and faithfully did whatever
ne WAS required 10 90. we suffered from
what you didn't. There wasn't enough
war TO go round with us There were times
when IL looked as II you had little too
much; but you had the right stun in you,
so IL was not too much.
Now. gentlemen. besides greeting you
and congratulating you and thanking our
friends. the men and women of Indiana,
for having come here with us, / want TO
draw just one lesson from our experiences
Il think ] want TO draw two lessons. but
one first. / wish TO lay particular stress on
the need of preparedness. Modern war OF
a serious kind is determined quite as much
by what the antagonists have done In adj
vance of the outbreak as by what they do
afterward.
Modern conditions have brought all parts
of the world closer together, and while this
at times tell for evil also, For all practical

TosLINsON HALL MEETING.
A Great Throng Welcomes the Presi-
dent, who Makes n speech.

To six thousand people tense with ex-
pectation In Tomlinson Hall. the first
heavy boom OF the salute gun announced
at n:b yesterday morning the news of
the Presidents arrival in the city. The
mermurs Of conversation and the shutting
OF many feet rolled away into silence and
the great audience awaited In almost
absolute quiet the first glimpse OF the
Nations chief. One by one the dull re-
ports OF the cannon filed the measure of
the Presidents salute. and the audience
In spirit saluted with the gun. From the
streets outside, where many thousands
more had stood for hours in their places
OF vantage. came bursts of cheering
minutes before tine head OF the procession
IN which the President rode came In sight.

LUNCHEON FINISHED.

Concluding his speech, the President and
his friends returned to finish their lunch
con. AS the President retired from the
balcony the people cheered again. Then
the crowd began TO surge again apd to sep
arate. The guards below sought TO clear
the street at once. and an effort was made
to get the crowd back again before Ii had
fairly begun to dispense. The guards threw
their backs against the people to force
them back. One woman seemed to be al
most overcome and was rescued by police
officer and led across the street The peo-
pie understood that the President and party
would be leaving the club shortly and
they were determined to have another look.
They lined up at once on each side of the
doors of the club, the lines extending across
the sidewalks. There they remained until
the President and party walked out and
took their carriages.
At the club the secret service men who
travel with the President were ever on the
alert. While the President was in his room
o two of them guarded the stairs that
led 10 the floor above and while he was
dining one OF them stood just outside the
door nearest to where the President sat

THE CYCLE WHIRL.

The last chance to see the sensation al cycle whirl at the Jacques will be offered this evening, and if there is anyone who has not seen it the oppor- tunity ought not to be neglected. It is really the most wonderful thing that has yet been accomplished with the bi- cycle, and it appears to be about the limit for daring and novelty. To sue ceed the whirl Manager Poli has ar ranged a grand triple feature in Frank Brush, the noted story teller; Hickey and Nelson, vaudeville's leading eccen- tries, and the Waterbury brothers and Penney, high class musical stars. The latter will be remembered as q star feature of Primrose and Dockstader's $ minstrels, last season, and they have no equals in their line. Hickey and Nelson are new to Waterbury, and so is Frank Brush; but they are among the most noted and successful enter tainers in vaudeville. and any bill in cluding their names takes rank at once as a high class one. Prices are 10 and 20 cents for matinees, ladies 10c; eyen- prices, 10, 20 and 30 cents.

1.-THE. OUTPOST

The Outpost, as it was played in PolTs last night. ought to be q money maker. notwithstanding that it lacks in plot and depth. But these delinquen- cies are more than compensated for in patriotism With which it abounds. The action of the play is wrapped around the war in South Africa. and were not some of the situations highly improba- ble, one might assume it was written to reap sympathy for the unfortunate Boers. A deep strain of Hibernianism runs through the play. It pays as much and as many compliments as it is able to the Irish and their proverbial sympathy for the under dog. But talk ing everything into consideration. the play was well received. There were a number of curtain calls and at times the house went fairly wild The act ing was excellent, and the lines of the piece decidedly good, so far as they went. calling up all that was true American at one time, but exists no longer in Washington It appeals to the genuine American. the true man. no matter where he is or whom he may be. except the English, and under the circumstances he is excused from entertaining any sympathy with the peace. The leaders were !. K. Hritz) Emmett and Lottie Gilson. Emmett sang his old favorite, "The Cuckoo, 7 and Miss Gilson won great applause by her songs. ssWhen the Irish are on Parade" and one or two other songs. The audience was not Very large. which is accountable to the season. but it did not lack in applause or encour- agement to the players

WARD AND YoLKES.

A capital comedy performance is as sured for Monday evening at Polls, when Ward and Volkes appear in their latest travestial comedy, The Head Walters" No comedians who affect eccentric fun-making enjoy a greater popularity than Ward and Vokes. They have won their prestige and have main- tained their position through the eccen- tricity of their comedy methods, the newness of their wit and the inventive ness shown in dialogue and comedy work. Their newest offering, "The Head Walters is said to be a humor- ously conducted farce, giving both Ward and Vokes admirable opportuni- ties for an exploitation of their comedy talents. Musically, the comedy is said to be prolific, embracing many new and catchy songs and ensemble num- bers. The company assisting these two comedians is said to be the strongest. both numerically and artistically, that they have ever had. Lucy Daily, Mar garet Daily Vokes, George Sidney, Joe
 Kelly. Louis Powers, Lew Miller, Josie Daly, AIaude Alice Kelly, Bessie Franklyn and Lila Conquest are among the assisting contingent An elaborate scenic equipment is a marked feature of the production. Seats are now on sale

1.-THE VILLAGE PosTN1AsTEP ;,


 New York and the large eastern cities have packed the theaters to see The Village Postmaster which is being played before a good sized audi ence at Polls this afternoon. and will be repeated this evening. One reason for their liking for this quaint New England play is apparently the restful atmosphere of the simple country life Which presents such contrast to metropolitan hurry and bustle Some of the New York papers said it brought Whif of new-mown hay and sweet country air. At any rate, it played to large houses for long runs in New York and Chicago, aggregating 227 nights i'll the first named city and 125 nights in the latter, and recently went back for it's ninth engagement in Brooklyn and gathered in more shek- els than ever. In the matter of scene " and setting it is the most elaborate production ever made of any rural play, while as to story and quaint types of character the New York critics have called it among the best ever written. Alice D. Ives. one of the authors, comes of old New England stock. and says she drew some of the characters from real life. At any rate. they are most amusing collection and are very ably interpreted by a capital company of players. Prices this even ing are p, 35, 90, 75 cents and S1.
