Then he would aim another word,
phrase or sentence, and watch it's eff
feet, listening with those ears which
set so closely against each side of his
head that they seem to be plastered
there. Growing in interest, he shook in
emphasis his right arm, now with fin
gers extended, now with fist closed and
striking hard against his left palm.
His voice, normally a little above
average pitch, at times would break
into a shrilI falsettO, frequently almost
a hiss, playing this trick on him in the
midst Of some OF his most effective
sentences. He turned first one way
and then another, facing now the peo-
pie on the stage, now those in the gal
leries, again those on the right and
those on the left, shooting sentences in
each direction Part Of the time his lefc
hand was in his trousers pocket But
his right was ever active. Picking up
a manuscript, he glanced through his
thick nose glasses and drew therefrOm
fresh ammunition for another VOlley.
Then he waved aloft the manuscript
in his gesticulatiOns.
His speech savOred strongly Of the
political. It consisted principally of a
discussion of some of his policies, with
an appeal to the people of Utah tc sup
port him. But he turned also to gen
eral topics of interest to the people of
the intermOuntain region. He dis
cussed mining, agriculture and stock
raising. He urged stOckmen to save
the public range and not over-graZe 1t
in any place to barrenness. He spoke
of the wonderful mineral resources of
the state, and of the great OppOrtu-
mites in agriculture Turning to the
subject Of irrigation, he cOmplimented
Utah on its progress in this line, and
said the people of this state had
taught many lessons which had been
used in framing the federal irrigation
law. He declared that the government
intended to help the state, but that in
dividual effort must be the main de-
Dendence.
Character is what counts most" he
averred.
Conservatism is necessary in dealing
with irrigation, he said, and the rights
Of the pioneers will be protected in any
enterprise Of the government. In clos
ing he appealed TO everybody to use
their own best efforts in every line.

Registers at Alta Club.
A few minutes later President Roose-
welt was seen coming out of the front
door. The instant the crowd caught
sight Of him there was a cheer, which
lasted several seconds. With as little
delay as possible he walked down the
stone steps and entered his carriage.
There was a delay Of d moment while
the detectives got into their carriages,
and then the command Forward
was given.
The ropes on F street were dropped,
and with the cheers of the multitude
ringing in his ears. and the clash Of
battery accOutrements in the air, the
president was driven rapidly down the
street.
When State street was reached a
stop was made at the Alta club, where
the president alighted and entered the
building. He was gone but a few min
utes. When he appeared a second time
he was surrounded by secret service
men and special policemen, the same
as when he entered. and without any
delay he was driven down the street to
the Short Line depot.

Decorations are ELABORATE.
The decorations, both of the table and
Of the house, were on an elaborate
scale and were carried out magnificent
". The main table decoration was a
wide bed of American Beauties, ex-
tending the length of the table and
formed across the top. This alone con-
tanned over 500 magnificent roses. On
the sideboard and the manteI two
flags were formed Of natural flowers

In the other rooms various cOlors

the hall presenting an especially fine
effect with American Beauties and
ferns. At the end of the hall, facing
the entrance, was an immense Amer
lean flag. and the national colOrs dec
GRATED the whole exterior of the home.
House Carefully Guarded.
While the president was there more
than 100 men guarded the house. The
whole force was under the immediate
command OF Captain Burbidge. Di-
rectly under him was company H Of
the national guard, in charge of Cap
tain William Williams and First Lieu
tenant Pembroke. The company was
forty strong. II had been marched to
the Kearns residence some time before
the chief executive arrived. When he
did reach there sentries were doing
guard duty on all sides of the house,
besides picketing the streets on the
south and west. Other militiamen were
stationed at the stable in the rear,
where the presidents carriage had been
driven, and the horses unhitched and
fed and Watered.
Immediately in front Of the house on
Brigham street Sergeant Jensen and
his command Of twelve mounted men
were doing guard duty, while in the
center of the streets special policemen
and more militiamen walked up and
down, preventing anyone from passing
under the ropes.
The special policemen were placed in
charge Of Sergeant Roberts. who spent

most of his time on or near the front
steps Of the house. Bicycle Policeman
Ed Davis was assigned to the front
door. He was given d list of those
who were to be admitted to the house,
and given special instructions under no
circumstances to admit any other
person.
Even messenger boys, who arrived
every few minutes with messages
either for the president or the mem
bers Of his party, were unceremonf-
ously held up and compelled to deliver
their kilograms and books to Officer
Davis. who saw that the messages We're

The carriages in which the secret
service men, the members of Governor
Wells staff and the invited guests to
the luncheon drove up to the home We're
lined up on + street, where they were
guarded by the government and city
detectives. 1t is estimated that a
score or more secret service men min
gled in the crowd which surrounded the
house, keeping an eye on everyone who
looked the least suspicious.
Shortly before ! O'Clock the horses to
the presidents carriage were hitched
up. That was signal to the crowd
that the president was about to make
his appearance again, and return to the
station preparatory to taking his de-
parture from the city.
The word was passed around among
the soldiers, policemen and detectives
that the president was about to enter
his carriage. and vigilance became
more pronounced. The detectives got

station, his train pulled out at 100 D.

Washington.

dent in Salt Lake was one of the best

entire trip
Il believe the crowds were larger
than in any other city OF similar size, -
said he The rough rider feature was
especially interesting. In other cities
there have been escorts in rough rider
uniform. but nowhere has there been
such a gathering of genuine rough
riders. The decorat tons were excellent,
although many other cities did them
selves proud, but nowhere on the tri-
have 1 seen the crowds better handled
by the police than they were in Salt
Lake. The demonstration in the tab
ernacle was also unique, taking place,
as it did, in a house of worship. His
speech there is the longest and one of
the best made on the trip. For. n1y
part, I wish we were going to stay
longer in Salt Lake"

BIG MORTAR BURSTS.
Serious Accident at the Sandy Hook
Proving Grounds.

The New York Herald of today says:
With the bursting of a Pinch rifled mortar
on the proving ground at Sandy Hook yes
terday afternoon many vessels more than
half mile from the shore We're placed in
peril from the hurting fragments. One of
the pieces of steel Went over the narrow
strip of land and landed in the water of the
Horseshoe. perilously near to where the
Shamrock III and the Shamrock 1 make
their anchorage.
Two immense pieces of the gun buried
themselves In the sand just outside of the
telegraph tower and another hit the gov
eminent pier. All of the buildings were
swayed by the explosion. Fragments hit a
range house and a sentry box, and several
persons who We're watching the experiments
had narrow escapes from death. Bits of
metal were shot high in the air, descending
all over the neighborhood.
boy who was running from danger after
hearing the explosion jumped from one rock
TO another Just as piece of the mortar
weighing several pounds came down on the
place he had leaped from. Far out at sea
the dangerous missiles landed, and the
water was dotted with the white spray
which assembled they struck the surface
Torn apart by the explosion of one hun
dred pounds of maXimite. one of the most
powerful explosives, which was to expel a
loaded shell weighing twelve hundred
pounds. the entire top part of the mortar
blown backward for many yards and the
carriage of the gun was demolished That
some one was not killed or injured by the
accident is remarkable.
For several hours the mortar. which was
valued at several thousand dollars, had
been tested by crew of twelve men. 1t
had proved satisfactory in all the prelmi-
nary tests. for in these only ordinary projec-
tiles had been employed and the charges of
the maXimite were confined to fifty pounds
With this good record to guide them the
men in charge of the tests decided to try a
much heavier charge, which the mortar was
supposed to stand without danger to itself
or to those who were managing it. So the
ordinary charge of the explosive was dou-
bled and then the big loaded shell was
placed in position. While there was little
fear that the gun would not bear this
charge, precaution was taken to warn all
the observers to Hnd place of safety
Many of the crew sought the protection
of a twenty-foot embankment, and others
went into the telegraph tower several hun
dred yards away. When the word was
given the charge was exploded. There was
Q terrific crash, which was warning to the

burst while being discharged. 1t is sup
posed that the explosive charge OF maxi
mite in the shell was ignited by the flame
of the propelling charge in the mortar. This
might happen if the walls of the shell were
not thick enough. and that is the theory
of the ordnance officers. No one was in
jured by the explosion.

A NEW worm pest has appeared
near San Antonio and is playing
havoc with all kinds of crops. This
particular worm is said to be
brown, black and striped and is
distinguished by the possession of
a "long, siekle-shaped horn" pro-
truding from its tail. Similar re-
ports of insects destroying crops are
being published continually in all
sections of the state, going to con-
firm the assertion of certain
scientific observers that the whole
sale killing of birds that feed upon
insects will cause an increase of
such insects. Perhaps the farmers
might be the gamers should they
protect the birds and encourage
them to make their abiding place
on the farm.
