PRESIDENT EMBARRASSED.
Ralph ortwein Of St Louis Americans
Files Deed Of Trust for 100000.

r.
st Louis, Aug 6.-Ralph II. Orth-
vein, president of the st Louis Ameri-
can league baseball club, yesterday fl
ed a deed of trust for 100000 to Sc
cure loans for that amount advanced
to him by his mother and brothers.
Charles G.. Orthwein of Kansas City,
his brother, is named as trustee, and is
to pay Mrs Ralph Orthwein stipulat-
ed monthly allowance during the next
fifteen years, during which time the
properties involved are to be in the
trustees hands.
Ralph Orthwein declined to discuss
his financial embarrassment further
than to say he had taken this step to
raise 100000 to carry out some bust
ness ventures. He is a director in a
score of enterprises, commercial, in
dustrial and mining.
It is said not only has Mr. Orthwein
lost heavily in stock speculations, but
that his experience in baseball has cost
him a pretty penny. The Browns are
a high salaried team, and Mr. Orthwein
has not spared money in getting them
together, out-bidding all his brother
magnates for the services Of the men
he wanted.
Sensational stories concerning Orth-
veins affairs have been going the
rounds for some months, and it is re.
ported that he may get out of profes-
sional baseball.

TALKED FAR INTO THE NIGHT
Roosevelt and Root Held a Very
Lengthy Conference

The Secretary Leaves for England
Very Soon-The Alaskan Boundary
Dispute, Was No Doubt, the Subject
Under Discussion-Secretary Root
Is a Member of the Commission to
Settle It.
Oyster Bay, n. Y, Aug 6.-Secretary
of War Root, after a conference with
the president which continued far into
last night, left for Washington on an
early train This probably was the
last visit of Secretary Root to President
Roosevelt before the secretary leaves
for England to attend the session OF
the Alaskan boundary dispute. He
will sail from New York on the steam
er Celtic Saturday, the 22d instant.
The president and the secretary of
war discussed at length some points
which have arisen regarding the opera
ton of the general staff Of the army.
1t is understood to have been decided
that Major General Corbin, for time
at least, will continue to perform the
duties Of adiutant general, in addition
to his work as second in command to
the chief of staff, Major General
Young. A few details Of the work Of
the general staff yet remain to be
worked out, but Secretary Root hopes
to see the new organization running
smoothly before he leaves for Eng
land.
While Secretary Root discussed with
the president very thoroughly the Lit
tauer-Lyon glove contract case, no in
formation is obtainable as to the re-
suit of the conference. The situation
was so delicate that neither the presi-
dent nor Secretary Root cares at this
time to discuss it for publication.
No visitors were received formally
by the president at Sycamore Hill to-
day. Indeed, after dispatching con-
siderable amount Of business with
Secretary Barnes, he spent most of the
day away from the house.

DooMsDAY ON NOVEMBER %

Georgia Negroes Alarmed by a Print
- er's Error in an Almanac.
The error of a compositor in substi-
tuting the figure for the figure in
setting up the matter for the 1903 issue
of an almanac has resulted in a state
of excitement almost approaching a
panic among the negroes of Gaines
vile, Ga, who think the day of judg-
ment is near at hand.
The excitement was started by a
sermon by the Rev. J. D. Lovejoy,
pastor of the st. Paul Colored Meth
odist Episcopal church of Gainesville,
in which he declared that the day of
final doom will come on Nov. 25. To
dispel all doubt on the subject he pull
ed a copy af the almanac from his
pocket and pointed out the Incorrectly
set statement.
In the November table of the rising
and. setting of the sun the astrono-
naers calculated for the 25th that the
sun will rise at 6:59 and set at sol.
Right here was where the printer got
in his work BY substituting a for a
he made it appear that on Nov. %
the sun is to set at 1:01 in the after
noon. ,
Mr. Lovejoy in looking over his al
manac came to this item. Being a
close student of the holy scriptures, he
at once recalled the passage of Ames
(viii. 81, which reads.
"And it shall come to pass in that
day, saith the Lord God, that 1 will
cause the sun to go down at noon, and
I will darken the earth in the clear
day"
The thought of doubling the time set
in the almanac did not occur to the
preacher last Sunday. He took for
text the passage question quoted, and
then, with a voice trembling with eX-
| citement, called attention to the state
ment ia the almanac, and announced
Nov. 25, as sthat great day of the
| lords"
! Gainesville on June 1 suffered from a
storm which in an instant snuffed out
/ more than a score of lives and de-
stroyed thousands of dollars worth OF
property With the roar of the tornado
| still in their ears the negroes were
more than usually ready to believe i'll
such prophecy, and season OF re-
| pentance and prayer at once began.
| Runners soon carried the news tC
other negro churches in the town, ano
in a short time the entire negro popu
lation of Gainesville was gathering al
| the Methodist church. praying and
| wailing. The morning meeting be
came an all day affair, and the>praying
was kept up until late at night.
| The next morning many negroes
failed to appear at work, and for two
| days the labor of the town was demon
allied. The negroes declared that they
cared nothing for earthly things as
they were all soon to go to their re
| ward. The excitement spread to out
lying farms and many negroes de
serted their crops and came to town tt
talk of their impending doom.
White citizens have now persuaded
nearly all of them to go back to thei1
work with the idea that they will have
to live until Nov. 25. even if the judg
ment is to occur then, but all efforts
to explain to them the error which
caused the prophecy have been una
/ vailing, and Mr. Lovejoy and hi!
hearers are still in mortal fear of Nov
25-and all because the compositol
used the wrong figure and the proof
reader failed to catch the error.

New Yorker Has Patriots Tomb Open
td and Exam mines the Skeleton.
Dublin, Aug 6.-At the instance Of
DR. Emmet of New York, the grave in
st iNIchan's churchyard supposed to be
that of the patriot Emmett has been
opened to determine whether the dis
puted tomb is really Emmet's.
After careful digging a full-grown
male skeleton was found at a deDth Of
six feet The skull, instead u 5eiils
prone and continuous with the trunk,
was upright and detached.
This fact is regare as strengthening
the claim that the grave is that Of the

hand, it is stated that the bones indi-
cate that the man was feet in height,
whereas Emmett was only 5 feet
inches tall.
The remains were examined by ex-
perts, and after being photographed
were reinterred. A certified statement
