PROPER AUTOMOBILE TEST.
Trip Made by Two Men from San
Francisco to New York With
out Accident.

A new transcontinental record for
automobiles has been established by
two men who drove comparatively
small machine of American make from
San Francisco to New York, says the
Brooklyn Eagle. They left the former
city on June 90 They arrived here
muddy, tired. but not materially the
worse for their uncommon experience.
They averaged about 80 miles a day.
They crossed mountains. They trav-
ersed deserts. They trundled over all
kinds OF roads In all sorts and condi-
tons of weather. And through 1t all
their machine met with no serious mis-
hap, a fact which will help reduce tho
automobile joke of the funny papers to-
Its proper level Of inconspicuity. Once
before the continent was crossed by an
automobilist, out he did not make as good
time as did these two people. This most
recent test of endurance Is worth a.
great deal more in the development of
the motor car than all the homicidal
road races that have ever been arranged
In Europe or elsewhere. Eighty miles
a day is not high average, and 1t could
doubtless be bettered by larger cars and
by more reckless drivers, but 1t is fast
enough to show what the automobile Is
capable of in the way Of endurance.
And endurance, or the capacity to wear
well, not speed, should be the first es-
sential in the construction Of motor
car

INDIAN NATION IS NO MORE.
Last Chief of the Once Great CherO-
KEGS Has Been Chosen to an
Empty Honor.

The last Cherokee election has been
held; the last chief of the Cherokee ma
ton has been chosen, now nation no
longer but in name-swallowed up by
the great American union, it's name and
identity lost forever, reports the Kan
sas City Journal. Monday, August g..
1903, will be a memorable day in Cher
okee history. The sun rose clear and
shone with resplendent beauty over the
Cherokee land, from the plains Of Kan
sas on the north to the hills and woods
Of Arkansas on the south.
All was stir and hustle among the
Cherokees that day, for 1t was their last
tribal election. There were two candi-
dates for chief. one representing the So
called progressive party and the other
the nonprogressive element. mostly the
fullblood Indians, to whom 1t was 4
solemn occasion. All day long from
morn till sunset the battle of the ball
lots went on, each side striving for mas
terry; and when the sun went down that
night the star OF Cherokee tribal gov
eminent had set forever-the progress
i've party had won, and the last hopes OF
the fullbloods had vanished. Hence-
forth they would be subjected to the
white rule, and as a nation and separate
people realize that they no longer ex-
listed.

GREET THE PRESIDENT.
ceDtiOn and Passes Busy Day In
Syracuse, N. Y.

Syracuse. N. Y, Sept S.-President
Roosevelt on Monday was accorded
magnificent reception by the citizens
of his own state. From the moment OF
his arrival in this city at $3.50 g. m.
until he stepped aboard his special
train at 10: 80 to begin his return trip
to Oyster Bay he was given a cont1n-
ual ovation. Syracuse never before
held such a throng as assembled here
to greet the president Fully 100000
persons from all sections OF New York
state tested the carrying capacity OF
the various lines OF railroad, and many
additional thousands came from the
country contiguous to the city. Every
where in the city, and at the grounds
of the New York State Fair associa-
ton, the president was received with
notable enthusiasm. AS he drove
through the streets the tens Of thou
sand of persons banked along the
sidewalks greeted him with cheers.
Business houses and residences were
ablaze with bunting and the American
flag floated in the breeze from almost
every window.
For the president 1t was busy day
as well as a day full of interesting in
cidents. In the morning soon after his
arrival he reviewed from beautifully
decorated stand in Hanover square
great parade of the labor organizations
OF the city. He then went to the state
fair grounds, where he delivered before
$4,000 persons an address on good cit-
zenship and the relations of labor and
capital to the state. He was the prin-
cipal guest at luncheon at the club
house on the grounds-a luncheon
which was attended by every impor-
tantstate official except Gov. Odell, who
could not be present on account of a
previous engagement; reviewed a fine
parade OF the National Letter Carriers
association, and fraternal bodies Of the
CITY, and was the guest at night Of

MERIT THE TEST.
Only Men Who Have Had Experience
to De Selected for Consular
Service Hereafter.

Oyster Bay, Sept. IAN important
change OF policy with respect to the
making OF appointments In the consular
service has been decided upon by Presi-
dent Roosevelt. He discussed the
change Friday with Assistant Secretary
OF State Francis B. LOOMS. For many
years 1t has been practically the uni
form practice OF presidents to appoint
men to positions in the consular service
substantially without reference to
whatever previous experience they may
have had. Quite naturally the presi-
dent endeavored always to select for
appointment men OF integrity and abil-
ity, but experience was not deter
mining factor In the equation.
President Roosevelt, after consulta-
ton with Secretary Hay. Assistant Sec
rotary LOOMS and members OF his cab
met not Immediately identified with the
state department, has determined to ap-
point hereafter to important places In
the consular service men who already
are In the service and have had that eI
perlence and training In minor posi-
lions which will render them more
capable OF filling places OF higher grade
and greater Importance.
