YOUNG THEODORE RoosEvELT,s
RECOVERY is ASSURED.
PRESIDENT STARTS HOME
Late in the Day the Patients Temper
ature, Pulse and Respiration
Were Normal.

Groton, Mass, Feb. 13.-The most
eventful day at the Groton school
since Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., became
i'll closed with the departure of Pres
ident Roosevelt for Washington late
this afternoon. Before going the pres
ident, in the homely phase, Ted has
improved with such rapid jumps that
| am sure he is out of the woods
told to the world the load lifted
from his mind.
The day was full of happenings for
the president and Mrs. Roosevelt,
and indeed for all who were at the in
Urinary or near the school ground.
The first word from the bedside of
young Roosevelt showed that he had
passed a good night. After the norm
ing examination by Drs. Lambert and
Warren it was announced that the
boys condition was progressing ia
vorably. The report said that the
lungs were clearing well although the
patient was still in the second stage
of pleuro-pneumonia known to medi.
cal men as the stage of emulation.
Later in the day DR.. Warren stated
that the patients temperature, respir-
alton and pulse were normal, a decid-
ed contrast to his condition the past
few days. The boy rested well all
day, although his pulse was somewhat
accelerated for a short period this
afternoon because of the departure
of his father.

Pc RIlS OF ALASKAN TRAVEL
Letter Carriers HerOfsm Described
In an Intsv cstins Letter.

In an Intsv cstinE Letter.
hardships of travel in Alaska has been
received by Mr.. Henry Rechtin, dis
bursting clerk of the department Of
justice, from A. r. Heilig, who is the
clerk of the United States district
court for the district Of Alaska, says
the Washington Post. Mr.. Heilig is
stationed at Eagle. Alaska. The COM
munication was dated at that place
Nov. 80. 1901. The letter Enclosed the
voucher for Mr.. iIeilig's salary for the
month Of November.
Il received the check for my salary
for August on Nov. 10 Mr.. Heilig
said. This is the last received, by
eason of the s!owness Of the mails on
account of the difficulty in travel this
time of the year. The mail carrier
going down stream was fastened in
the ice and obliged to float with it ten
miles beyond his destination before he
could be cxtricated from his danger
u position by men on shore. The
carrier coming up stream broke
through the ice and sank twice, but
managed to roll over on a cake of ice
on coming up the second time and
scrambled to shore. The mails. being
on a dog sled. were not injured. as
when he felt the ice breaking under
him he yelled at them to 'mush on
and they went ahead.
"He found a cabin. without matches
or fire, whose owner was out exam;n-
ing his traps. For a time he tried to
avoid freezing his legs by pounding
them with a club until they were raw.
but finding this unavailing and being
in imminent danger of losing his feet
or legs he ran back to the river. broke
a hole in the ice and stood in the wa
ter until the owner of the cabin re-
turned.
"When he arrived at Eagle, all his
toes were black as coal and both feet
We're covered by what appeared to be
one large blister. After Il days treat
ment he started on foot for Dawson, Il
hundred miles away, against the pro-
tests Of every II here. who urged him
to wait longer on account of the dan
ger of blood poisoning. But the indom
liable will and energy Of many Of
these carriers and their strong deter
mination to get the mails through on
time would not let him be persuaded.
and in two days we heard by wire OF
his safe arrival at Forty Mile, about
fifty miles toward Dawson. He should
be at the latter place now, though we
have not yet heard from him.
THE season has been unusually
mild, the thermometer having not yet
gone lower than 40 degrees below zero.
In the absence Of wind. of which there
has been every little this year, 30 de-
grees below is the %favOrite tempera-
ture for travel. and for walking about
the town no II thinks of wearing an
overcoat. But when the breezes blow
and the mercury goes below M wants

Story Of a Hawkeye Burglar-Hus-

band Surprised Guilty Wife.
Council Bluffs, Iowa, Feb. 13.-Chief
of Police Albro has a signed state
ment in which a resident of Council
Bluffs says he was an eyewitness to
the murder of Frank Richardson at
his home in Savannah. Mo-. on the
night of December "a. 1900, and for
which his wife has just been acquitted.
Chief Albro refuses to divulge the
name of the man, but has correspond.
ed with the Missouri authorities. ana
if they so desire, the man will go to
Missouri as a witness.
The man who makes the statement
has been a resident of Council Bluffs
for Is years and while he has never
been known to do anything crooked
here it is rumored that he frequently
makes trips away from home which
prove profitable. His statement is to
the effect that he had gained an en-
trance to the Richardson home on the
night of the murder. thinking there
was no one at home. After he was
on the inside he discovered that a
man and woman were in the bedroom.
Shortly after another man entered
the room and when he discovered the
first two he exclaimed:
my God. has it come to this?"
He entered the room and the man
who was there first came out. He had
a revolver in his hand and when in the
other room fired. The last man to en-
ter the room fell, and the man left
the. house.
The burglar recently attended re.
vival meetings. At the close of tie
meeting he confided his secret to tue
evangelist, who in turn wrote to c.
w. Booher, prosecuting attorney at
Savannah.

the skeptical amateur photographer Is:
When there are both snapshots and time
exposures on the same strip of film, or
when there are several unequal exposures,
how are all to be correctly developed,
there being no opportunity for individual
treatment?" isaS> ''3tF5ft - rcsf.,
81 myself, before experimenting, felt
that the machine might fail under these
conditions, but practical resultssshow that
within any reasonable limits it does not.
THE appearance of an 'unfXed' mega
tive held beneath the faint light of a
darkroom is deceitful Leaving out,
then, every other consideration any anna
teur, except one of the widest experience,
can obtain better results by developing
= his negatives for certain number Of
minutes in this developing machine than
he can by developing them by hand in
the darkroom and trying to judge their
density by what he can see under a dark
room lamp.
Indeed, the method Of timing instead
Of watching development is one that is
already receiving attention among think
ing photographers.
eff timing development is gaining
ground among those who use glass plates
and a darkroom, it certainly cannot fail
to find favor with those who can realize
the advantages of machine development
At first this instrument may appeal to
the amateur simply because of its con-
venience. Eventually he will cling to Its
use because it will give him better results
than he can obtain by the older methods
anyone who can operate a kodak (and
who cannot?) can grasp the working of
this simple machine in ten minutes. The
operation Is simplicity itself. The mech
anism Is in no wise complicated. 1t has
no trappy features. Everything is in plain
sight
Briefly outlined, the manner of oper-
ating the machine is this:
after removal from the camera the
cartridge of exposed film Is inserted in
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1902-09-21

apron is then hooked on to the second
arbor and the top put on the machine.
The operator now turns the handle to the.
right slowly and evenly until the time OF
development, about four minutes, has ex-
pired. The film winds up inside the apron,
but with the face not touching it, thus
permitting free action Of the developer
AS the handle turns freely and easily.
this operation is not at all wearisome
1.-THE cover Is then removed from the
machine, the developer poured off; the
fixing solution poured In; the cover re-
placed. and the handle again turned for
about four minutes, when the fixing will
be complete. After fixing the cover Is
again removed. the fixing solution poured
off, and after rinsing in two waters the
film is removed from machine by taking
hold Of either the apron or the end OF
black paper and pulling out OF machine,
the film being taken hold Of when 1t

appears and pulled free from the black
paper.
Nothing now remains to be done ex-
cept to wash the film, to free it from
Hypo (1xing solution); wipe 1t with a
soft cloth and pin it UP to dry. AS soor
as dry the negatives are cut apart and
are ready for the print-making to begin.
! The machine may be used again imme-
diateiy Simply rinse well and wind the
apron back on to the first arbor. All is
now ready for the next roll Of exposures,
Without the developing machine the
amateur must go either to the expense Of
sending away his negatives for develop
ment, to the expense Of fitting up dark
room in his home, or must accept the
only other alternative-that Of improyls-
ing darkroom from bathroom or
Kitchen. This, as a rule, Is not only a
nuirance to the amateur, but, alas, he
frequently makes nuisance Of himself

by plunging these rooms into Stygian
darkness, when, more than likely, some
other member OF the family would like to
use them for their legitimate purposes.
Not only does the developing machine
throw light into the darkroom at home.
bus 1t enables the amateur to develop his
negatives when away from home. In mis-
rccm at the hotel, in the hunters or fish,
einan's camp, In the cabin of his yacht,
In the dressing-room of a sleeping car
III fact, anywhere that one can obtain
cold water and place to throw waste,
the amateur can operate the developing
machine. In loading the kodak he uses
film cartridges for two, four, six or
the exposures are made he neither waits
in impotence for the return from his va
cation trip nor makes long and aggra-
waiting search for a Photographic dark
room. .

FRITZ LINDINGER on EXCISE.
THE PRESIDENT OF THE WINE. LIQUOR AND
BEER DEALERS CENTRAL AssoCIA-
TION DELIVERS HIMSELF OF
4 FEW THOTGHTS

Fritz IAndinger. president of the Wine. Liquor
and Beer Dealers Central Association, yesterday
delivered himself of a few thoughts the subject
of excise, among which the following:
Legislation at Alabny makes the existence of the
Raines law hotel not alone possible but legal and
necessary and as long their owners comply with
the requirement of the law l advise them to keep
open. So much attention is paid by our lawmakers
10 the excise question. claim 1t IS not a matter
for legislation IL is purely and simply moral and
q church question. and no power should attempt to
enforce morals only order; but II seems popular to
annoy the traffic in LIQUOR and the saloon man.
Our lawmakers should leave the trade alone. II
only for a little while; this constant interference
brings about state of insecurity. If it is unlawful
10 sell Il should be the same to buy on Sunday. In
fact, saloon would be compelled to close up on
Sunday, any other day, If there was no demand
but as long the demand exists just so long will
we find men eager to satisfy that demand, and
Raines law hotel and the law that created the
same, but the selling on Sunday should he allowed
during reasonable hours.
want TO deny the statement l read last week
that our organization was controlled by the Irish.
want to state here that there is discrimination
against any one or in favor Of any l of
German birth myself, and the nationality of any
member is never questioned. ] also want to deny
these Matchmaking stories. They are not true. We
nav no blackmail to the police or any other de-
partment: at least have no knowledge of anything
~ the sort I would resist the so-called black
mailing and would that any member doing
b,siness with the police would be expelled. The
reason why so few of the violate and be
long 10 our association is because we only admit 10
n1emhership respectable dealers We have use
Yor divekeepers or owners of questionable houses.
