delivered in the evening on the Monroe doctrine. am quite aware that the ad- dress looks well in print. It was clear clear even to fault; 1t was vigorous; 1t was direct. But 1t was not eloquent. It had little of the fervor and none of the imaginative spirit that one associates with the born speaker. As for the Presi- dents manner, I shall not be harsh If hint that 1t lacked dignity. distinction and charm. The vital importance of the issue with which 1t dealt saved 1t from be- ing commonplace. But, though I strain ed my ears to catch one noble phrase, strained vainly. There was plenty of good sense, much that was practical. something that seemed significant, in the words that fell heavily and emphati- cally from the Presidents lips. There were pointed and pregnant political warnings, meant, perhaps. more particu- larly for Germany, but not without in- terest to England. There was also what may be taken as a rebuke to Admiral Dewey and other American patriots
 who, in their anxiety to exalt their coun- try, are sometimes apt to forget inter- national courtesies. And, from begin ming to end, there was manifest the dog ged determination that at all risks. the speaker would uphold the doctrine"
 What pleased the public most in the address was the emlnently matter-of- fact and somewhat vulgar. advice to

An Englishman's View of Roosevelt.

A critical Englishman. who heard MT. Roosevelt speak in the Auditorium Thea tre in Chicago, writing to The London Chronicle, gives his impressions of the President Of Mir. Roosevelt's appear ance and manner, the correspondent says:
 The 1000 spectators before him rose, cheering and fiuttering handkerehiefs. The President bowed, smiled, waved his hand in a familiar way to private friend whom he had recognized in one of the boxes, and at last sat down. I mo- ticed, quite dispassionately, though confess regretfully. that his dress suit seemed a little too old for him, and that he wore 1t rather ungracefuny His manner, too, smacked less of the counci chamber than of the camp, or, to be moro accurate, should perhaps say of the Western ranch. Men of President Roose. velt's stamp are at their best on horse back, leading charges, chasing bulls, ol leaping a rail fence.
 Of the Presidents method as a speaker and the style and quality of his oratory this Englishman says:
 Neither by nature nor by education is the head of the United States executive an orator. That was evident from the very outset of the carefully prepared anesch which, with the help of notes, hC

speak softly and carry a big stick. = Though not an orator, from this phrase it is quite plain that the President Is a capable stump speaker. More than once too. he convinced me that had he not taken to politics he might have made an actor. Consciously or unconsciously when quoting the official correspondence between Mir. Hay and Dr. von HolIeben and Sir Michael Herbert and Lord Lans- downe, he dropped into mimicry. Ia reading the memorandum addressed by MT. Hay to the German Ambassador, he adopted senatorial tone. In quoting the message from Sir Michael Herbert to Lord Lansdowne he assumed (not a lit- tie to the amusement of a few English men in the audience) a marked cockney accent. It Is probable, and indeed cer- tain, that no discourtesy was in the Presidents mind when he treated his hearers to these examples of American humor. But-well, 1t was not quite what one might have expected from the exec utive of great nation, dealing with great questions.

 Tie petition, which Is signed ny large number of the best people of the county It sets forth that the bridge would not be large one and could be constructed by a small expenditure. The slough crosses the road narrowly and can be and the rest of the road at that point can be filled in with little trouble or ex- pense.
 Inasmuch as the fa1ltiness of this thor oughfare has for several years during the high water periods kept the South Side District entirely cut off from this city the movement for some means of making permanently passable -oad is Of importance not only to residents of South Side. but to Selma and other parts of the Tiptons Pond has been so Tar under wa ter as to be incapable of use and the method of ,mpro 70 nent suggested by the petition is regarded as the best yet sug- gested.
 The Court of Revenues will convene Monday. and at hat time the petition will probably be acted upon.
 And in connection with the improvement above suggested it is interesting to note that the Louisville and Nashville Rail- road Company is improving the crossing of their track and the public road just south of Selma. A number of men was employed today in making a better ap- proach to the crossing. and the incline hereafter will not be so precipitous.
 Up to this time .he road at the cross- ing has been so steep as to be dangerous and not a few ha ye avoided the road on this account. The present purpose is to make the ascent easy and without dtfh- culty or risk. 4

 The marriage of Miss Emily Clisby and Col. Lewis Lawson, was celebrated yes- terday morning at o'clock. at the home of the brides brother and sister, MT. and Mrs. Charles Sidney Smith. on Perry Street.
 The wedding ceremony was beautiful and particularly impressive in it's sim plicity. There were no attendants save two little flower girls who preceded the bride, Emily Smith, daughter of MT. and Mrs. Charles Smith, who is the niece and namesake of the bride, and Mildred Burch, who Is a cousin of the bride. They were dainty little figures in dresses fasn- toned of white organdie and lace,. ana carried arm clusters of white carnations
 The bride entered with the bridegroom, Colonel Lawson. The ceremony was per formed in the bay window of the drawing room, where a graceful arrangement or palms against the white lace of the cur tains made a lovely effect. Rev. J. H. James, of the Perry Street Methodist Church, was the officiating minister. The bride was elegantly gowned in her trav- cling suit of navy blue cloth. tailor made, with waist of crepe de chine. and hat of castor Milan. She carried Bride roses.
 In this wedding wide interest has been felt. The bride Is a daughter of MT. and Mrs. George c. Clisby. who are well known throughout the State. She is a young woman of high intellectual attain ments and is generally beloved. Colonel Lawson is prominent in business and so- ciety and has many friends who are in- terested in his marriage. He left with Mrs Lawson immediately after the cere- mony for Greensboro, where they will be at home.
 Only a few friends and relatives were present at the marriage.
