Oyster Bay, Sept. 16.-President

friends and neighbors OF Nassau
county and between 5000 and 1000
shook his hand. The reception was
held at his country home on Sycamore
hill. He met people whom he had

with men who knew him when he

when it was over. The weather was
delightful.
Most all the business buildings and
many houses were adorned with flags
and bunting. Along the road leading
from the center of the town to the

any kind. Cameras, valises, canes,
umbrellas and in many cases over
coats and women's wraps were taken
from the owners and piled under the
trees near the porch.
The reception began at 2:45 o'clock
and the president stood on the porch
and shook hands with all. The visit
ors then passed off the porch along
the road leading to the side of the
house where lemonade was served
and thence by another road out of the
gounds. All sorts of people in all
conditions of life filed past the presi
dent. White and black. poor and
well-to-do, women with babes in their
arms and several with dogs, small
boys, little girls-all received a pleas
ant smile and a shake of the hand
During the reception a number of
bands we're stationed on the lawn and
discoursed music and the Picksville
battery at the foot of the hill fired
continuous salute. Toward the
close of the reception the New York
policemen had a photograph taken
with the president who said he was
proud to have it taken with them

RYAN DEFEATS CARTER.
Veteran of MiddIeweights Knocks
Out Brooklyn Lad.


Fort Erie, Ont, Sept. 16.-Tommy
Ryan may be a veteran of the middle
weights in the prize ring, but he is
still far from a back number. Last
night in the arena of the Fort Erie
club he knocked out Kid Carter of
Brooklyn in the last Of the sixth
round. The knockout was clean and
decisive, and came chiefly as the re-
suit of ring generalship Of Ryan
which enabled him throughout to
successfully evade or withstand the
heavy onslaughts of his opponent.
Sturdy and heavy hitting, proud OF
his endurance, full of energy, conf
dence and ambition. Carter was no
mean opponent. In fact he hustle
Ryan throughout the fight, forcing
him from corner to corner with
wicked lunges which effectually de-
stroyed any effort on Ryan's part to
box pretty. Forced to fight, Ryan
finally went at the game as few can.
He slung stabs into Carter until he
had him bleeding and bewildered and
then several we'll placed right jolts
on the jaw tumbled the husky young
fellow senseless to the rosin. George
Siler was referee.

Carnegie's Latest Plan.


1
Andrew Carnegie, it seems, has tired
of giving people libraries. 1t is limited
that he is bit bored by the criticisms
that have been made upon his literary
lavishness. At all events he has decid-
ed to spend a few more tens of millions
in A different way. He will reform the
London sIums by wiping them out of
existence. Or this. at least. is the way
it IS expressed. Yet he will not pur-
chase the slunS rae the buildings and
erect hotels upon their sites. Instead.
he will provide an antidote The plan is
for the purchase of four suburban es-
tates some ten miles out of the heart
of London and erect thereon homes for
the working classes AS it is the inten-
lfion to admit 10 these homes no man
as tenant whose income is more than Sc
a week, it will be seen that the plan is
for the benefit of the extremely moder-
ately circumstanced. Eut it is one
thing to prepare the antidote, quite an
other to induce tire patient to take it.
At first blush it might seem as if the
London wo~kmen and their families
would welcome the opportunity that
such plan would provide But would
they? Similar experiments have failed
utterly to reach the people for whom
they were intended. Would these men
ard women who have known no home
but the London courts and alleys. %el-
come such q change as necessary to
avail themselves of the opportunity of
living in model cwellings?" They
might not be of their model If the
slums are suffered to remain it is safe
to say that they will be inhabited. The
