Syracuse. N. Y. Sept 7.-President
 Roosevelt to-day was accorded a mag
 nificent reception by the citizens Of his
 own state. From the moment of his
 arrival at 9:S0 o'clock until he stepped aboard his special train at 1o:30 o'clock
 to- night to begin his return trip to oys-
 ter Bay he received q continuous ova-
 ton. Syracuse never before held such a throng as that assembled here today to greet the president. One hundred
 thousand persons from all sections of
 New York state tested the carrying ca- pacity of the various lines of railroad.
 and many additional thousands came from the country immediately contigu-
 ous to this city.
 Everywhere in the city and at the
 grounds of the New York State Fair
 association the president was received with notable enthusiasm. As he drove through the streets the tens of thou- sands of persons banked along the side- walks greeted him with cheers. Busi- ness houses and residences were ablaze |with bunting. and the American flag floated from almost every window. Syracuse arose to the occasion Not a hitch occurred to mar the arrange
 ments. The great throng, was handled admirably by the local police and nils ftia. and no serious accidents were re- corded.
 For the president it was busy day, full of interesting incidents. Soon after his arrival he reviewed a great parade of the labor organizations of the city. He then went to the state fair grounds, where he delivered an address on good citizenship and the relations which both labor and capital sustain to the state. The president said in part:
 There is no worse enemy of the wages worker than the man who condoneH
 mob violence in any shape or who breaches class hatred; and surely thH slightest acquaintance with our indus- trial history should teach even the most
 short-sighted that the times of most suffering for our people as a whole, the times when business is stagnant, and capital suffers from hrinkage and gets nolreturn from its investments, are ex- actly the times of hardship and want, and grim disaster among all the existing inst s&nf6I1 tsas sis5 o& wealth could be abolished, the first and severest suffering would come among
 those of us who are least well off at
 present. The wage-worker is well off
 only when the rest of the country is well off; and he can best contribute to| this general well-being by Showing sanity and . firm purpose to do Justies to others. | In his turn the capitalist who is really q conservative, the man who has fore-

NOT ENGAGED TO HoBsos.
Mrs. William J. Bryan Deni.s Ru nor Regarding Miss Ruth.

Lincoln. Neb.. Sept. Mrs. W. J. Bryan authorized an emphatic denial of the story printed by Philadelphia pa per that Miss Ruth Bryan and Captain R. P. Hobson of Merrimac fame were engaged to marry. She saad there was not the least truth in the statement.
 This is corroborated by Miss Bryan's friends. who say the story doubtless had its origin in gossip that started here when the captain was visitor last month. Hobson dined with the Bryans, and so thoroughly was he entertained that he almost forgot an engagement to lecture at a Chautaucua assembly and had to accept Miss Bryan's services as a hurry-up guide. Young Billy Bryan is also credited with joklngly pointing out his sister and her escort as en- gagged persons.
