was willing to part with 1t at ten cents

carriage. Almost from the time that
he left the depot the chief executive
OF the nation rode with head uncover
ed and waving his hat to the people
who crowded every available space on
curb-stone, street corner and Office
window There was no cheering; the
memory of Canton's martyred son,

those who greeted the distinguished
guests.
In the first carriage were President
Roosevelt, Secretary of War Root,
Secretary Cortelyou and Judge Henry
w. Harter. After calling on Mrs. Nc

of the Third Infantry on guard there,
commanded by Lieutenant Reese,
were drawn up alongside the tomb.
Sentries paced to and fro in the drives
and on the hill above the vault. 1t
was about 2:30 o'clock when President
Roosevelt and the other guests arrlv-
ed at Westlawn. AS the president
stepped from his carriage the corporal
announced in loud voice:
The president of the United States I"
Instantly every soldier presented
arms and the ruler of the nation,
walking slowly between the files Of
soldiers, entered the tomb.
He was followed by Judge William
r. Day. Secretary Root then entered
the vault and the other members of
the party followed It was but mo-
ment after entering that the president
reappeared and getting into the car
riages visit was made to the site of
the proposed Mckinley monument.
The visitors did not alight from the
carriage, however, and upon their re-
turn to the city President Roosevelt,
Secretary Root, Secretary Cortelyou,
and Surgeon General Rixey were driv-
en- to the residence of Judge Day, on
North Market street, while the rest
of the party repaired to the Mckinley

1t is said also that Mr.. Fultz had
been drinking heavily for some time,
although he appeared to be in good
spirits. He went 10 Warren with a

LONDON, Oct. 17.-Failing to secure
Waldorf Astor as parliamentary can
didate for the Holborn division of Lon
don the Conservative association of the
borough have turned to another gentle
man with American connections. Sir
Clinton DaWkins.s manager of .Pierpont
Morgan's London house, will be APP
proached4in. a. few days and it is ex-
pected he will contest the seat at the
general election. Some years ago Sir
Clinton had parliamentary ambitions
and would have aspired to an official
position had not Mr.. Morgan held out
prospects of huge wealth to him. He
was offeredsa salary five times as large
as he could ever hope to secure in a
political capacity. In spite of the great
demands the bank makes upon his time
1t is understood that Mr.. Morgan feels
that American interests ought to have
someone in the house of commons to
watch thens.@ Sir~Ginton has much in
fuence both in the lords and commons
and it iS~pretty certain that his pro-
motion would be rapid. Lord Miner,
who is prospective Colonial secretary,
is a personal friend of4both Sir Clinton
and Pierpont Morgan and during his
last visit to London from South Africa
he spent nearly all his time at Mr..
Morgan S@Fesid enee. IfzSir Clinton con-
sents to be nominated his election is
certain because the constituency is a
Conservative stronghold and he would
have the Influence of the Duke of Bed
ford to secure his return.

LONDON, Oct. 17.-Ignace Jan Pa
dereski and his wife are spending the
summer upon their estate in Switzer-
land, and intend to remain there until
early in the winter. 1t is the first time
in three years that they have been
able to pay it anything but flying
visit, and every man, woman and child
in the village IS bursting with pride
this summer in counting the great
pianist and his beautiful wife as part
of the community.
The estate is called "Riond Boss on"
the name given it by the wife of the
French revolutionist, Fourget, when
she laid it out and went there to pass
the last years of her life. 1t is miles
away from any town of importance,
and it is so secluded that few tourists
have discovered it, even with the null
titude that throng Switzerland every
year.
Paderewsl1i keeps in communication
with the outside world with the tele-
phone while in the country, a neces-
sity, because not to his dearest friend
can he be induced to write letters, and
he does not care to be bothered with a
secretary in the house during his va
cation. So from Geneva 1 called him

IN LONDON A CHILD is rat
BORN EVERY 40 SECONDS
Someone Dies Every Minute and a
Quarter-Births Equal Marriages.
Special Foreign Service.

Special Foreign Service.
LONDON, Oct. lit inspires one
with a sense of London's bigness to
learn that someone is born every forty
Eeconds in the twenty-four hours, and
that someone dies every minute and
quarter. You can calculate that this
is so in a few moments from a recent
official announcement that during last
year 131, 278 children were born in the
metropolis, and that 1924 deaths oc-
Lurred-these, however, being not the
most interesting items in particular
ly striking report as to the changes
that are taking place in Londons mil
lions. BY the way, those millions are
now number six and a half.
If last years record only would keep
on repeating itself, London soon
would be the acknowledged abode of
ideal domesticity. For, by curious
coincidence, the percentage of mar
riages last year exactly equalled the
percentage of births-Seventen and a
fraction of a thousand. And when it
comes to this question of marriage one
tannot help being impressed with the
power the state church still holds de-
spite the centuries of opposition of
one kind and another. Seventy-two per
cent of all London's weddings last
year were solemnized in established
churches, while only 4.6 per cent took
place in nonconformist places of wor-
ship. The remaining 1876 per cent
came off in register offices.
While the great majority Of these
marriages were between men and
women of reasonable ages, the statis-
lies mention no less than 1913 bride
lTooms who couldn't wait to reach
their majority. Three of these were
only sixten, fourteen waited a year
longer and the rest evidently consid-
cred themselves grown up when
Eighteen came around. Of course, the
number of women marrying young eX-
ceeded the men, but among several
thousands who married before their
twenty first birthday, ten were only
fifteen years old and two were widows
at sixteen.
London's poor have been. before the
public of many countries in one way
or another for years, and many Amer
lean visitors to the metropolis refuse
to leave before they see the East End.
Of course, the East End is still there,
but its poor are infinitely different
from the poor Of Dickens time. Since
the county council began it's improve
ments among the rookeries of slumdom
1t has spent more than $21,625,00 in
placing into sanitary homes and sur
roundings over 80, 900 persons, a popu-
lation sufficient to people several flour
lshing cities of the third class at
home.
London's greatest shame strikes
home in police records. Arrests for
drunkenness exceed those for every
other crime. and strange to say, a
large majority are women, AS quite
a number of appearances before a
magistrate are necessary here before
bne is known to the police as an habit
ual drunkard, the number of this class
last year was less than ZOO but of this
number, small in comparison with the
thousands of steady drinkers, 90 per
cent are women, a good many of whom
live the police more trouble than all
most any other class of petty crimi-
nails.
