SPEAKS AT THE DEDICATION OF
NEW JERSEY MONUMENT
ON BATTLEFlELD.

Antietam, Md, Sept. 1S.-President
Roosevelt made an address yesterday
at the dedication of the monument
erected in honor of the members of
five New Jersey regiments who had
fallen in the bloodiest battle of the
civil war.
governor Murphy and a delegation
of prominent citizens of New Jersey
attended the exercises. The trip to
the battlefield was uneventful. Presi-
dent. Roosevelt was guarded closely
by secret service officers and veterans
of the war
The program consisted of a review
of troops and visit TO the principal
scenes of the battle.
President Roosevelt said in part
I'VE meet today upon one of the
great battlefields of the civil war. No
other battle of the civil war lasting
but one day shows as great a percent
age of Joss as that which occurred
here upon the day on which Antietam
was fought. Moreover, in its ultimate
effects this battle was of momentous
and even decisive Importance for
when it had ended and Lee had re-
treated south of the Potomac, Lincoln
forthwith published that immortal
paper the preliminary declaration of
emancipation; the paper which de-
cided that the civil war, besides being
a war for the preservation of the
union, should be war for the enamel
patton of the slave. so that from that
time onward the causes of the union
and of freedom. of national greatness
and individual liberty, were one and
the same.
Humanity Their Debtors.
IF the issue of Antietam had been
other than it was, it is probable that
at least two great European powers
would have recognized the independ-
ence of the confederacy: so that you
who fought here forty-one years ago
have the profound satisfaction of feel
ing that you played well your part in
one of those crises big with the fate
of al, mankind.
You men of the Grand Army by
your victory not only rendered all
Americans your debtors forevermore,
but YOU rendered all humanity your
debtors. II the union had been dis
solved. if the great edifice built with
blood and sweat and tears by mighty
Washington and his compeers had
gone down in wreck and ruin. the re-
suit would have been an incalculable
calamity, not only for our people-and

The American Smeting and Refining
company. finding that he had good
silver mine, asked him to name
price. He said 's5N0,0O0,OOO," having
about as much idea of s500,000,0 900 as
he had of the ratio of the Mexican
government debt to his own purse or
the government debts of the world.
The first money Alvaredo received
from his mine about five years ago,
was $4,000. He knew so little of the
methods of handling money that he re-
fused all certificates or other paper
evidences Of debt, and carted home his
$4,000 in Mexican dollars in a wagon
nearly half ton of silver.
He probably has more wagon loads
of silver at the present time, but it
bears no relation to the Mexican debt
or the Mexican currency or the paper
circulation of the world, except as ex-
pressed in the paper circulation of
American newspapers.

THEY CANNOT SEW.
Japanese Women Are Failures as
SeamstreSSeS.

The Japanese as people are delight

women cannot do sewing for Ameri-
cans A New York modiste has learn
eG this to her sorrow. She was to pre-
pare costumes for fancy dress party,
and one of the men connected with It
conceived the bright idea of employing
japanese women to assist in the work.
The designs for the costumes were
made by Japanese artist, and it would
give more atmosphere to the costumes,
he thought, if native women made
them. He knew little Japanese ma
iron who made her own kimonas, and
she would be glad to sew for the Amer
leans.
In due time She appeared at the
rooms of the modiste with a sister-in-
law, another little woman of the same
race. They were ready to go to work
and there would be no preliminaries
but one. They must have their money
in advance. The modiste argued. She
never paid her wOrkwomen in advance:
they must do the work and then they
would be paid. The little brown-faced
ladies were gentle but persistent. They
must have their money or they coulI
not come. They got their money and
they came. That was the beginning of
a series of tribulations for the modiste.
The hours of the little ladies suited
themselves. They came at $50, 9. 10

Ihen they must remove their small
shoes, get out their bonbons to nibble
as they worked, and make themselves
comfortable AS they sewed they
chartered necessarily. At noon they
made tea. They brought their own tea
service, and it took them a good hour
to heat the water and make and drink
the light colored liquid they called
tea. At five they left.
This was too much for the modesto.
She really could not have it. All Of
her Workwomen were expected to sew
until 6, and the little Japanese ladies
must do the same. But they did not.

gently to everything she said, and as

siderable time. Never were there such
prlnkers. Each little lady rouged her
cheeks, touched her lips with carmine
and darkened her eyes. Then. when

TALES OF MEXICAN'S
WEALTH EXAGGERATED

In the French schoolbooks one con-
tinually translates "as rich as an
American" In American newspapers
one continually reads of the fabulous
wealth of the Mexican miner. Amerl-
can investors have sought this taDu-
lous wealth in hundreds, not to say
thousands, of Mexican mines, to learn
always that it was a wealth OF the
past out of which has been built ca
thedral or a coffee plantation. Ameri-
can capital has always failed to find
the bonanza according to American
methods and ideas.
The real secret of Mexico's wealth
of the past was the low price Of labor
when poems worked for a few cents a
day and dug 80 to so cents worth of
silver per day The man who COM
manded their labor and who needed
little beyond "tortillas and frijoles,' or
corncake and beans, was in a situation
to found tales of great wealth, but
when American railroads plowed
through Mexico and raised the wages
of labor with American standards of
wages and living, and machinery was
applied to mining on large scale, the
romance was quickly stripped there
from.
The tale of Pedro Alvaredo the rich
Mexican mine owner, a peasant six
years ago, and now the possessor of
s60,000,000 in silver bullion, is another
romance. The romance is not whether
he is dead or whether he is alive, but
the romance is concerning his fabu-
lous wealth. The newspapers that
have been reporting $60,000,000 of sill
yer in his strong tin box have prob
minute news bulletins on finance, and
figure that $6O,0OO,OO0 of silver bullion
in strong box is sixty pounds per
81 900, and that that little strong box
must contain 1900 tons. AS a matter
of fact. Alvaredo is the owner of a
good silver mine in Mexico which has
the history of all other silver mines
a good output at first and a construc-
ton expenditure eating up large part
of the output, and a surplus for some
luxurious living.
Alvaredo has produced about $10,-
100000 of Mexican silver dollars,
worth about $4,500,000 in American
gold. He has spent a considerable
part of it on the mine, has built pa
latial residence, and has a retinue of
200 servants. He has surplus income
enough from his mine to hire a spe-
cial railroad train now and then, but
he would scarcely be an ordinary mil
lionaire in New York city. He has as
little idea of himself or his wealth as
compared with the rest of the world
