PAYS TRIBUTE TO THE PAST

Oyster Bay, July 4. President Roose- welt participated today in the celebration of the two hundred and fftieth anniver- sary of the founding of Huntington, the pretty little Long Island city about seven miles from Oyster Bay. The town was in gala attire. President Roosevelt in his speech said in part:
 MT. Chairman and you, my fellow Americans, my old-time friends and neighbors, men and women of Hunting ton:
 T thank you for having given me the chance of saying few words to you this afternoon. In greeting all of you l wish to say word of special greeting to those whom no others will object to my greet ing first, to the men because of whom we have today a country and 8 president; to the men of the grand army, and thank the men of the national guard wearing the uniform have worn myself, for having turned out to serve as my es- cort today
 Expresses ThankfuIness.
 Men and women, in speaking to you today want not only to join with you in an expression of thankfulness of the .na- tions mighty past, but in expressing the resolution that we of today will strive in our deeds to rise to the level of those deeds which in the past led to the na- tions greatness. It Is a good thing on the Fourth of July and on all other occa- sions of national thanksgiving for us to come together, as we have the right to express our pride in what our forefathers did and our Joy in the abundant great ness of these people. We have not the right to express those feelings If we treat greatness achieved in the past as an ex- cuse for our failing to do decent work In the present instead of as a spur to make us strive to do the work that lies ready at hand.
 If we so treat 1t we show ourselves unworthy to come here and celebrate the historic past of the nation.
 The Days of 1861.
 Tn 1861, when Lincoln called to arms you, the men of the great war, how did you show your loyaltey to the spirit of '76? You showed 1t by the way your spirit leaped to the performance of the task. If come together here on the Fourth of July to say how well the generations that are dead did their duty, if we failed to re- alize that there Is on us the obligation of leaving unimpaired to our children the heritage of honor we have received from our fathers, then the truth is not inns. We pay to the great men of the past the only homage really worth paying if we show by our deeds that their spirit still lives In our souls. Only by so doing can we show that we have a right to cele- brate this day that marks the birth of the nation."

to be very common, but that 1t will be among the spectators and not with regu- lar bookmakers. 4 jai alai fronton Is to built in New York.
 How to Play Jal AlaI.
 The place where jail alai Is played Is called a fronton. The regulation from ton Is 200 feet long and ITO feet wide and runs the full length of the fronton This part of the court is paved with asphalt, or cement and Is called the ''cancha.' It occupies the space next to the back wall. This back wall will be seventy feet high in the New York fronton, and will be cement for more than half its height. At each end of the cancha. or playing ground, is a cement wall seventy feet high
 The spectators occupy the front of the fronton facing this three-walled playing ground. Between the spectators and the cancha Is strip of ground twenty-nine feet wide. This Is called the contra cancha.s or foul ground.
 The right end wall of the cancha Is called the "frontis.' or front wall. The balls are served against this wall. Be- ginning three feet from the ground is a space on the frontis exactly thirty-six feet square, marked of by red iron strips. The ball must be served in this square. The left end wall Is called 'la pared de rebote," or the rebound wall. It takes a powerful arm to send the ball against the frontis so hard that it will travel back to the other wall, yet this Is frequent feature of the game.
 The Good Lines.
 Sixty feet from the frontis is a line painted across the cancha, and 1O6 feet from the frontis Is another line. On the serve the ball must be sent against the frontis so that 1t will rebound and fall on playing ground between these two lines. In case of failure on the first trial, the player who serves It has a second trial and if he fails again 1t counts a point against him, or his side.
 The -caneha Is fair ground for a player so long as the ball never touches the dirt floor.
 Jai alai is played by from two to eight men. The players are called pelotari
 Instead of a raquet, each player wears on his playing hand 'cesta," which is a kind of wicker basket, eighteen inches long, six inches broad, six inches deep in the middle and curvins gradually to the ends.
 The ball is fraction smaller than the regulation baseball. and Is made of yarn tightly wound around core of the hard eSt rupper ana covered with leather
 In a partido. or 400 game, each side has ."delantero," or forward, and a "zagu- ero," or back. The two opposing for wards toss for the first serve. The one winning takes the ball and runs to the second line 106 feet back of the frontis He throws the ball lightly to the asphalt floor and on It's rebound catches 1t in his costa and sends 1t flying against the S6-foot square on the frontis. He strives to put the ball at a point whence 1t will rebound between the 6O-root and 106-foot lines on fair ground and at the same time drop where the opposing forward cannot catch 1t.
 Then the game is on and the ball is kept flying in the air until one side or the other drops 1t and loses a point.

JAI ALAIIS 4 GAME OF
 GREAT FASCINATION

Havana.-Ah. here they comel The big glass-roofed front on Jai aiai shakes with a burst of applause. 'Maeala, Ma eala~ axthousand voices cry. and lit- tie dark-skinned, handsome man, 1.-the and graceful as a cat, bows and smiles up at the vast crowd that rises tier after tier in front of the long asphalt court, bounded on three sides by towering ce- ment walls. It Is Macala himself, the idol of every woman in Havana. the idol of the populace in every city where he has played this game that is the ruling passion of nearly all the Latin people.
 There Is another roar or applause as three other figures run lightly across the dirt-paved contra cancha to the asphalt court. 'Trecet Macalai La azules! La azulesi' It Is plain that the two men in blue suits, like tennis suits. with flowing blue sashes. are the favorites here. Ma eala Is dark and of the fiery Spanish type; his partner is fair, but just as handsome. with more of manly strength. just as quick and active and is famous with the costa.
 The women do not cry out the name of Eloy, lanky and stoop-shouldered who looks like a worker from the cane fields, but the men and boys shout for him and post their pesos on his marvellous strength and skill He and Machin, Ma chin with the long fierce eyebrows, the stern Basque features, are dressed in white, It Is to be a great match between the whites and the blues.
 Ten to Six on the Blues.
 "Diez a sies la azulesr- a man in front cries out. There is a flash of color as a boyish looking man In uniform. with a brilliant Basque cap of scarlet on his head runs to his side. The man wants to bet, 10 to on the blues, and the bright-capped boyis a corrodor or one of the men who record bets for the spec tators cross between bookmaker and the betting commissioners, who throng the race grand stands in the United States. The corredoro calls out this bet, and in an Instant an admirer of Machin and Eloy takes 1t.
 There Is frightfui uproar as everyone calls out his bet at the same time. The crowd is wild, intoxicated with excite ment.
 Point after point Is lost until a long and thrilling battle of the costa, the scorer cries out: Whites, 50; blues. 2s' The game Is ended.
 "Jai alai holds ones interest as no other sport could do," declared General Leonard Woods, after he had played the game for months In the fronten in Ha- vana. l reduced my weight thirty pounds in little or no time by playing the game It Is wonderful to watch, and still more wonderful to play
 It was commonly reported in Havana that General Wood paid one Of the pro- fessionals 2,oOO to teach him the myster- ies of the game
 The estimated receipts of the Havana fronton jai alai are more than s1, ,OOO, 900 a year. A. Andujaro, head of the syndi- cate that Is to spend $75o,OOO to introduce the game here, says he expects gambling

Abdul HamId's Press censor.
n Inc pbiIadeInhia Record.

From the Philadelphia Record.
 The vigilant Turkish press censor in- sists that the Bible shall be so revised that the cry which St. Paul heard to come over and help us" shall not come from Macedonia, but from "the vilayets of Saloniki and Monastir.'' A few years ago the Turkish censor demanded that ! "Kurdistan" be substituted for 'Ar- menia" in the Bible circulated in the em- pire. and 1t is said on good authority that one of these astonishing officials held up a textbook on chemistry because he found therein the symbol "H2O." which he was confident was revolutionary cipher meaning "Hamid II is naught."

1t was being blown in a plastic state to the size and shape desired. Many unsuc- cessful attempts to form the big bottles were made before complete success was met.
 All the air used In blowing the bottles made, about 1i,000 cubic inches in each, was supplied from the lungs of the blow. CTS, who were making them, one man culty lay in keeping the neck of the bot tie hot and plastic, as it was cooled quickest by the iron blowpipe Many bottles were made, but most of them were spoiled in the operation and were discarded The four perfect ones which have been preserved for exhlbi~ tion, stand nearly six feet high and are about sixteen inches across at the bot toms.
 The making of these big bottles Is rec ognized as a masterful feat in the glass blowing trade. Glass blowers from all parts of the country have taken great interest In the experiment. and the mak- CTS of the bottles have received many in- quiries as to their methods. It IS new line Of rivalry, as 1t was heretofore con- sidered impossible to make such big bot ties because of the difficulties in the way of the blowers handling such a large mass of molten glass.
 Valentine Reininger, one of the oldest blowers of the Alton factories Is count ed one of the most skIllful in the country He has fashioned many curious works in glass and Is an artist In his trade. The three men who succeeded best with the big bottles-SteeIman Metz and Mill ler-are prominent masters of their trade.

THE COST OF SPITE.

Sympathy is costly. Aid of every
sort is costly. But, as DR.. johnson
said. so are spite and Miniature
''among the most expensive luxuries
in life.
It costs us enormously to be rude,
ill-natured or mean. It costs much to
give way to unrestrained anger, to
harbor spite and bad feeling.
If we must spend so much of our life
forces on others, were 1t not better to
spend it in kindness than in unkind-
ness?
"Getting even" is a hazardous bust
ness. It is much easier to get even
with the wrong in man than it is to
get even with the man in the wrong.
You can much better afford to remain
uneven with such man than to lower
yourself to his level.
Hate hurts the hater more than the
one hated. Revenge is a poor invest
ment. Look at it ra tionally from any
standpoint, and you must see that it
never pays. You are obtuse indeed if
you have not learned from experience
that one little drop OF kindness holds
more of the real nectar of life than
does whole ocean of spite.
You may search the whole world of
philosophy through and find no truer
thought than this-that pride, envy,
malice, hatred, revenge and all the
other evil passions the heart is heir to,
work their first and worst injury to
their possessors; they corrode. render
wretched and destroy first the heart in
which they originate.
The man you hate and plot against
may know nothing about it or care. If
he gives thought to you it may be
only to despise you.
Is it worth while to fill your soul
with poison for no better results than
this?
Is it sensible to dwarf ourself in eff
forts to make some man recognize that
you are his enemy and can hurt him,
when you can ennoble yourself by the
far less effort necessary to make him
see that you are his friend, and can
help him? Is it not better to have the
respect of others than their hatred and
contempt

START IT RIGHT.

Though it's o, ganization is not COM
plete; the state federation of business
associations which will be known us
the Wisconsin Industrial and Me.can-
tile association is so far advanced that
it is now a certainty and its launching
is an event of great Importance to the
business interests of the state, The
delay in the election of officers made
necessary by the fact that numb Der of
delegates lacked authority to bind their
associations to whatever action might
be taken, while it necessitates another
meeting and disappoints those who de-
sired to have the organization quickly
effected, does not endanger the final
contamination of the long discussed
project and it may be not without be-
nefcial effect
In movement which may be des-
tined to have marked influence upon
the business interest of the state it is
OF the utmost Importance that a right
start be made. The usefulness of the
association will depend altogether upon
the direction given to its efforts, and
nasty action at the outset resulting in
an unwise course would be fatal. A
months delay while the association is
Units formative period will afford time
for reflection, for review OF the steps
already taken and for careful consider
alton OF the work about to be inaugur-
ated.

So far a conservatism has been dis
played which augurs we'll for the fut
ure. One Of the greatest dangers in
the path of the new association was
overcome when a clause was inserted
in the bylaws absolutely forbidding
participation in partisan politics. There
are many things in which the associa-
tions will have a legitimate interest
which may have been made a part of
politics, and if it is to avoid the rocks
the association must approach those
subjects from a strictly nonpartisan
standpoint. The suspicion that behind
such action as it may take with refer
ence to these matters there was any
political purpose would utterly destroy
it's usefulness and end in it's disruption.
Rightly constituted and wisely guild.
ed the association will be power for
mercantile interests Of the state. Eff
fort in a community to be effective
must be concerted and we'll directed,
and in promoting intelligent and thor
ough cooperation it can be means of
bringing the business men of the differ
ent sections Of the state together and
enabling them to work together instead
of at cross purposes. 1t could do a
valuable work by collecting and dis
seminating useful information and by
add lg the local associations in their
efforts to build up their respective
cities. In many directions there is
work for it to do, and it is to be hoped
that when the election is held men will
be selected to manage it whose ability
will be guarantee that the work will
be we'll done.-Milwaukee Sentinel.
