President at the Ferry.
NEW YORK, Sept. 6.-The train bearing
President Roosevelt and party reached
Richmond Hill, l.. l., a little ahead of time,
but was held there for ten minutes await
ing the coming OF Jacob A. Riis, who is to
accompany the President to Syracuse. Long
Island City was reached at 9:55 p. m, and
the travellers were brought into Manhattan
by a boat of the Thirty-fourth-street ferry
line. Here the President was met by Police
Commissioner Francis V. Greene with four
plain clothes men," among whom Presi-
dent Roosevelt recognized Sergeant Edward
j. BOurke, whom he recalled for his efici-
ency in enforcing the excise law while Mr..
Roosevelt was at the head of the New York
city Police Board and later as a member
of the Rough Riders in Cuba. The Presi-
dent greeted Sergeant Bourke cordially and
spoke In high commentator of the officers
work as 1t had come under his observation.
Carriages conveyed President Roosevelt
and the others of his party across the city
TO the Christopher-street ferry. There being
across the North river TO the Delaware,
Lackawanna & Western Railway station,
the boat was headed upstream for some
distance, all enjoying the ride on the river.
The presidential train pulled out of the

AN ALLEGED DISCOURTESY.
Letters Growing Out of the Charges
Made by the Indian Rights As
ISOLATION Recently.

WASHINGTON, Sept. GA telegram to
Secretary Hitchcock from United States
District Attorney Speed, of Oklahoma,
says the United States grand jury has
found three indictments against Contractor
Stokes and the three County Commissioners
for Kiowa county for making false vouch-
ers and false certificates for the purpose
of defrauding the government in n
ton with the building of bridges. Stokes
is under arrest and his bond has been fixed
at $500. The three indicted County Com
missioners, it is said. have filed the coun-
try. ..
This action has been taken at the instance
of Secretary Hitchcock as the result of an
investigation instituted by him several
months ago, which revealed the fact that
gross frauds had been practiced in Okla
homa in connection with contracts for
bridges. roads and bAqdings in the three
counties opened for settlement two years
ago. Secretary Hitchcock held up all bills
until he could have an investigation made.
and the present indictments are the result.
Other arrests are expected to follow.

CYCLIC, THE KINETIC DEMON.
Marvellous Death-Defying Deed with
Barnum & Bailey Circus.

OF all the daredevil acts ever seen any
where that performed by Cyclic, the kinetic
demon, in the Barnum & Bailey greatest
show on earth excels them. 1t is a fasci-
mating act executed with such prudence
and skill that the audiences are apt to for
get the fearful danger In which its sue
cessful accomplishment is surrounded. TIL
easy grace of the daring artist is so prom
inently a feature that the hazardous char
acter of the feat is negatived. The whole
affair is patented and operated by the pat
entee, who whirls with lightning rapidity
around in an inclined circle gradually work.
ing his wheel up to a higher circle. which
is vertical, and when this part is reached,
the marvellous performer is seen whirling
around in space, while himself and wheel
are at right angles to the perpendicular
sides of the circumference. After making
q series of rotations entirely around the
circle he gradually slackens the speed of
the wheel and descends to the starting
point. The whole act is an enigma and
may truthfully be styled a true physical
phenomenal, for no one has ever attempted
the remarkable and hitherto imagined i'm

only be seen with the Barnum & Bailey
show, although it is an American inven>
ton, that show having the exclusive rights
of exhibition.
That is one of many exclusive features.
The models of American warships, in which
every type of American marine fighting ma
chine is reproduced in miniature, is another
of the remarkable new exhibits, and the
latter may be said to appeal to the pa
triOtism of the Nation. These models were
made under the special sanction of the gov
eminent at Washington, and were really
approved by the officials of the c%onstruc-
ton department Of the United States navy,
a fact in itself sufficient to guarantee the
excellence and merit of the exhibit. Space
will not permit of an enumeration of the
numberless features of this great show,
but there are a baby elephant and mother.

horses in three rings at one time, a triple
circus, double menagerie, hippodrome,

street parade, and many other exclusive
and astonishing features, and they will all
be here on Sept. Is, at the West Washing

OVER A Mile A MINUTE
WORLDS RECORD FOR LONG DIS.
LANCE MADE BY THE b. 4 o.
Run of 12S Miles, Between Chicago
junction, o., and Garrett, Ind.,
I'm 125 Minutes.

CHICAGO. Sept. GA new worlds record
for long-distance running was made by a
passenger train on the Baltimore & Ohio
Railroad early this morning. A stretch of
12S miles was covered in 125 minutes. No
stops were made. The distance traversed
is between Chicago Junction, o., and Gar
rett, ind
During the run a speed of e~ighty-five
miles an hour was reached. This was the
maximum. Bursts of speed at seventy and
seventy-five miles an hou were frequent.
The train was made up of five cars and
was pulled by locomotive No. 1850, in charge
of Engineer William Dunton Dhis loco
motive is Of the new Atlantic type, weigh
ing ~ 1000 pounds. 1t is the most powerful
style in the service of the B.. & o. An
extra large water tank helped in this per-
formance, saving stops for water.
From Garrett into Chicago another loco
motive OF the same type took the train.
On this run a speed of seventy-six miles
an hour was reached. The performance
between Chicago Junction and Garrett
could have been duplicated had the train
not been blocked by a train ahead. This
compelled slowing down several ines. The
distance of 11 miles between Garrett, Ind.
and South Chicago was, however. covered
in 153 minutes, making the whole run Of
go miles i'm 27S minutes.

A MISSOURI QUAIL FARM.
Novel md Profitable Pursuit the Re-
silt of a Banter.

Novel and Profitable Pursuit the Re.
Of n Banter.
St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
A new industry with interesting possible
ties has been inaugurated by Guy Gordon
of Columbia. SIe calls it quail farming, and
is working on the theory that the birds can
be raised on the same principle as barn
yard poultry. His experiments have already
demonstrated the fact that quails can be
raised as quickly, and with as little ex-
pense. as chickens, but the Question of profit
still remains to be determined.
The quail farmer, who is a son of T. S.
Gordon. proprietor of the Gordon Hotel. is
at present conducting the work on a limited
scale. He has several acres of ground, Just
west of the hotel, the farm being fenced
with closely woven wire, which prevents
the escape of the birds, whose wings are
clipped at an early age. 1t is the intention
of the owner. however, to soon remove to
Arkansas, where he will secure a tract of
land large enough to operate on an extern
sive scale.
His first experiments have already indi-
Gated that the venture may have large pos
sibilities. and he hopes to soon have the
u VII thC AAl1 at lIdI DldN
mean a fortune. His present design is to
raise only brood quails. which now sell at
81 per pair, the demand being well up with
the Supply.
1t was purely by accident that young
Gordon went into the quail business. While
| he was engaged in cleaning out an incubator
one day, Speed Mitchell, of Boone county,
leaned over the fence and smiled with the
cold disdain of an old-time farmer for new
tangled contrivances.
why don't you raise quails i'm that
thing?' said Mitchell. An old bird Matched
a dozen back of my barn this week and
didn't nave half the trouble~about il as YOU
are going to with that business"
Bring me some eggs and l will" said
Gordon. and thought no more about 1t.
But the next week Mitchell came I'm with
a dozen eggs, fresh from a quail nest on his
farm. Gordon put them i'm the incubator
and within twenty-one days nine OF the eggs
were Matched. Three of the young quails
died. but six thrived and are now full
grown.
The result was so satisfactory that Cor
don abandoned the chicken business and
now possesses a big covey or quails of all
sizes. The Youngest birds are kept in a
small, wire-covered quail yard. but the
larger ones are permitted 10 play at will
about the premises. their wings having been
| clipped when one month old. The youngest
birds must be handled with great caution
and a careful regard for temperature. They
are Matched in the incubator at a tempera-
ture of l4 degrees, and while in the care OF
the mother get along well enough In the
daytime without artificial heat. All durine
the night, however, IL is necessary to- keeI
a lamp burning In the broodhouse to insure
a temperature of at least 80 degrees. Like
all incubator products. the birds are sur.
prisingly tame. and even the full-growr
quail can be picked up and fed out of the
hand at will.
The quail breeder has one peculiar oh.

A. o. H. OFFICERS MEET.


The State officers and county presidents
of the Ancient Order of Hibernians of In
diana met yesterday afternoon in the Oc-
cidental Hotel to discuss the insurance fea-
ture of the order. 1t was thought that
some change would have to be made I'm the
table of premiums, but it was decided to
retain the same premium that has hitherto
been in vogue.
After the meeting the members congre-
gated and discussed the efforts now being
madeNby indianapolis Irishmen to prevent
the sending back of James Walsh, alias
Lynchehaun, to England. The county
presidents In an informal way, expressed
the opinion hat the Indianapolis members
who had taken up the matter had acted
wisely in not taking the matter before the
public. Each president who was present
gave his personal assurance that his di-
vision of the Ancient Order of Hibernians
wbuld vote funds from the society's treas
ury to aid the work now being done by the
indianapolis Irishmen. Treasurer McNelis
was assured by those present that the In
diana officers of the A. o. II. would assist
the fund, both morally and financially.
