Is Wall street opposed to

Roosevelt? There ia grave
doubt on this question ex-
pressed by democratic politi-
clans who come to Washing

stood that he was opposed
to the President, greatly to
the Iatter's advantage. Now
it is remarked that there is a
great cry OF the opposition
of Wall Street to President
Roosevelt but it all eminatps
from Republican editors. 1t
is beginning to be suspected
that this is a shrewd game
on the part of the President
and his advisors to gain the
support of the anti-trust ele-
ment OF the voters.
There was an amusing in
teryiew between President
Roosevelt and Count Cassi-
nirecently. Strong pressure is
being constantly brought to
bear on the President to take
some action with regard to
the recent massacre OF t b e
Jews in Kishenev. Now that

BOSTON, Mass, Dec. 22.-Colonel
Thomas Wentworth Higginson stu
dent, author abolitionist, soldier,
preacher, and legislator, celebrated to-
day the eightieth anniversary of his
birth at his home in Cambridge. He
has enjoyed good health during the
past year. and continues even at this
advanced age to take the keenest in
terest in public affairs. Many friends
called upon him today and paid their
respects and he also received numerous
messages of congratulation from
friends and admirers in different parts
of the country.
Today Colonel Higginson is known to
the world chiefly as a literary man, but
in his early years he was known as
preacher who left his church to fight
against slavery. After he was gradu-
ated at Harvard, the law tried it's spell
on him for a While, as it did on Lowell,
but he fell under the influence of Theo-
dore Parker and at twenty-four be-
came pastor of the Congregational
church at Newburyport, retaining this
position for three years. He was one

of the first assailants of slavery, and
lost his church on account of his be-
liefs. Still under the influence of Theo-
dore Parker, he became what he called
a "secularized" minister, and launched
out as a reformer which he continued
as a career until 1858. And If called
on today to say whether he is o re-
former or literary man, Colonel Hig-
ginson would probably hesitate before
answering.
About this time he determined to de-
vote himself to literature, but the civil
war soon broke out, and he Joined a
Massachusetts regiment. Later he was
made colonel of the Thirty-third
United States troops, the first negro
regiment mustered into the Union
service. In his volume of personal rec
objections Colonel Higginson throws
much light on the John Brown period
Colonel Higginson is tall, and has
soldierly bearing suiting his title. His
voice is clear and well modulated his
manners genial, and tact is one of his
chief characteristics. He Is a finished
platform speaker and has a profound
knowledge of parliamentary rules.

all Kinds of Gifts

\ Especial Telegram to Evening Teller)
WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. 22-Not-
withstanding the well known aversion
of the president to receiving gifts from
persons personally unknown to him,
Christmas presents are arriving in
great numbers at the White house,
coming largely from unknown admirers
of the Roosevelts, though, of course,
there are many also from relatives and
personal friends. The character of the
gifts is varied. Some are costly, others
unique, and not a few on the freak
order. They come not only from all
parts of the United States, but from
Cuba, Porto Rico, Hawaii and the far
east. Among the gifts received from
the Philippines are many interesting
curios and these will doubtless find a
resting place in the presidents cabi-
nets.
Tropical fruits. including pineapples,
bananas and oranges, have been re-
ceived at the executive mansion. and
turkeys, barrels of apples, and wild
game have come from many parts of
the west. These are all of the finest

Animal intelligence, though not nec-
essarily higher in degree when they are
acting as our servants and not for their
own ends, is then very much more east
ly approached and understood by us.
The point is a curious example of
an action in which instinct and reason
meet. The stopping of the dog, howev-
er it began, has by training and heredi-
ty become instructive. The dog, even
when quite a puppy, stops when it
smells the game and remains almost
paralyzed its impulse to rush in and
seize it being checked by a strong in
stinct to stand still. Yet the dog, after
he had accompanied his master and
had game shot over him, is quite
aware that he is a half controlled me
dium," and while still under the domi-
mating pointing instinct will look
round imploringly to his master to urge
him to hurry up if the scent tells him
that the birds are moving. A border
line action Of a different kind is the
squatting, of young birds. 1t is a per-
fectly reasonable precaution Keeping
still and lying low are not characteris-
tics peculiar only to Br'er Rabb& but
it is most remarkable to see the way
in which tiny peewits or little teal,
hardly bigger than a fluffy bee, lie
down. put their little chins fat on the
ground and remain motionless for min
utes to avoid being seen.
