PRESIDENT AS cHURcHGoER.
Attends Two Services, Sunday-An.
nouncement as to Speaking.

Sioux Falls, S. D., April 5.-President
Roosevelt is the guest of Sioux Falls
and will remain so until $40 o'clock,
tomorrow morning. His special train
arrived here about o'clock, this MORN
ing The President was escorted to the
Cataract House by attachments of the
two local militia companies and en-
joyed a day of comparative rest, the
first he has had since his trip began.
He attended church both in the morn
ing and evening, and in the afternoon
went for horseback ride.
The fact that President Roosevelt
attended Divine service twice, today,
was due to an error on the part of the
local committee. The committee had
the impression that the President was
a member of the German Lutheran
church. and accordingly arranged to
have him attend y that church, this
morning. When it was learned later
that the President worshipped at the
Dutch Reformed church, arrangements
were made to have service in the even
ing at the Livingstone Reform church
here. While it is not the custom of the
President to attend service, Sunday
evening, he made an exception, today.
when the facts were made known to
him.
Owing to the fact that both in Mil
waukee and Minneapolis the length of
the program did not permit the Presi-
dent to reach his car until after mid
night, he has been obliged to announce
that hereafter he will not begin speak
ing later than $50 in the evening and
always will be back in his car by 10
o'clock. He will adhere strictly to this
rule.
A pickpocket tried to work his game
in the crowd gathered in front of the
Lutheran church, this morning. Just
as the President was about to enter the
edifice a man who gave his name as G..
w. Earl took $25 from the pocket of a
resident of this city. He was detected
in the act. but before he could be
seized he handed the money to a con-
federate who disappeared. Earl was
arrested

Boston. April 5.-Christina Taylor
kidstOn. the young woman who is ac-
cused of attempting to poison Mrs.
Cynthia Perkins at the latter's home,
1872 Blue hill avenue, Grove Hall, was
arrested by the police of division 9,
yesterday afternoon. The arrest was
made at the City hospital, where the
accused mad gone for treatment, suf-
fering from the same symptoms as
those which Mrs. Perkins and Mrs.
Julia Diggins, servant in the house,
developed.
All three were attacked at the same
time. This was Thursday evening.
Miss Kidston had been a nurse for Mrs.
Perkins for several months, but a
couple of weeks ago left the place.
Thursday evening she returned for
some of her belongings, and it was then
that some coffee, it is alleged, was mix
ed by Miss Kidston, of which all drank.
All were seized with vomiting and a
burning sensation in the throat. Then
it was that the idea of poison in the
coffee first appeared, and the police in
accordance with their suspicious placed
Miss Kidston under arrest.
Miss kiGston went to the station ac-
companied by her sister and her coun-
sci. Fl. 4. Richardson. The party, ac-
companied by Policemen Keen and
Conboy, drove to the station in car
riage. Miss Kidston looked bright and
cheerful and did not show much trace
of her recent illness.
Capt. Coleman escorted the prisoner
to seat in the guardroom, where. he
allowed her sister and counsel to have
long conference with her before she
WAS booked. Then she was taken to
the desk and the charge read to her.
She made no comment.
Miss Kidston is tall. rather slender
and dark compleXioned. She is quite
good looking. She was very neatly
dressed in dark clothing, with a cloak
OF medium length over her kpees. A
black hat with an abundance Of feath-
ers crowned her dark hair.

less can we afford to fail to recognize the
further fact that these changes must not
be made until the need for them out

make them they should be made with full
recognition of the need of stability in our
economic system and of keeping IN

her in good spirits. She seemed well
supplied with money She was last

Edward Chase, son of the proprietor.
about noon, today, noticed water com.
ing through the ceiling from an up
stairs room. He forced his way into
Mrs. Van Weeks room and found the
faucet of basin open and the water
overlooking. Mrs. Van Weik was sit-
ting in rocking chair, facing mir
ror, dead.
Mrs. Van Weik had disrobed except
for her Undertaking and had then
drawn on a tea gown. This She had
opened at the throat, and, sitting In
front of the mirror, had placed a re-
volver against her breast over the
heart and outside her garment, and
fired. The bullet must have passed
through the heart.
In the room were found the keys to

ond husband being named Van Weik.

OBJECT TO 10 HOURS.
Trouble Between Coal Firm and Miners
at Wlkesbarre, Pa.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, April 5.-The trou-
Bile between the miners and the opera
tors over the 9-hour day question took
a new phase, Saturday. when Supt.
| Rose of the Delaware & Hudson Coal
Co.. announced that he had endeavored
to get men to work 10 hours owing to
the brisk demand, and had failed. He
said: THE men have positively re-
fused Notwithstanding the increased
pay 1t brings them The commissions
report says that there shall be no con-
certed action on the part of the men
to curtail company's output, and yet
I understand that the Dickson City To-
cal has passed a resolution refusing to
work more than nine hours. consider
this a direct violation of the strike
commission instructions"
President Nichols of the Mine Work
ers, stated that he did not known of
any men having refused to work more
than nine hours, but he said the men
were always willing to work overtime
and in case of accidents. There is
trouble at several of the mines because
the men claim they are compelled to
work more than nine hours by certain
duties they have to perform before
they can leave the mine.
The grievances are being taken up by
their locals and committees appointed
to confer with the officials. The feel
ing is increasing daily, however, among
the men. and it is feared there will be
a number of small strikes.
The laborers at the Hillman colliery
went out. declaring that they want
s1.50 day and do not get it. The driv-
err boys who went on strike at the Dor
rance. Friday, returned to work, Sat
urday. upon the order of their local,
which discountenanced the strike. The
mine workers legislative committee
has received fresh promises from Har-
risburg of legislation in their behalf,
and say they are much cheered, after
their recent disappointment.
Board Member Schlosser said upon
his return from Harrisburg: IF the
Legislators fool us again, we will have
something emphatic to say when the
Senate and House adjourn"
