PRESIDENT HOME AGAIN.
Arrives I'm Washington from Memora.
BILE Western Trip and Receives
n Hearty Welcome.

Washington, June 6. - President
Roosevelt returned to Washington at
seven o'clock last night, after an abb
sence of 66 days. During that period
the president and his party travelled
about $4,000 miles through % states
and two territories. He made $50
speeches. His reception by the people
of Washington began at the Pennsyl-
vania station and continued uninter-
ruptedly until he reached the white
house. Here the president found a
throng of admirers assembled In the
grounds south Of the white house and
he made brief speech to them from
the rear balcony.
The president made the final speech
Of his tour at Indianapolis, during
which he said:
81 have been from the Atlantic to
the Pacific, and now well-nigh back
again to the Atlantic, and the thing
that has struck me more than aught
else wherever have been is the funda-
mental unity OF our people. And
another thing, l went on my trip
pretty good expansionist; come back
a better one, because, having seen our
people on the Atlantic coast, In the
Mississippi valley, in the great plains
and among the Rockies, and on the
Pacific coast, l fail to see how any
man can look at them and not see that
inevitably they belong to the expand
ing, and not to the stationary, races Of
mankind. Our nation must play n
great part in the world. We cannot
help it. All that we can decide is wheth-
err we will play that part well or ILL.,
and l know you too well, my fellow
countrymen, to doubt what your deci-
sion in that case will be-"

MOURNING BANDS.
badge of Woe That Has DESCENDED
to Servants Now Foolish1y
Worn,

1t Is astonishing how many persons,
both men and women, who give every
other indication of culture and re-
finement are seen in the streets now
adays wearing Grape bands on their
coat sleeves, says the New York
Times. This form of mourning was
originally military one, the British
officers cap, with its ridiculously low
crown, not admitting of band
When he boosted decoration, the
medal also was covered with Grape
From the military the sleeve band
descended to the coachman and foot
man, and has long been the recog
nized servants mourning when there
was Il death in the masters family
Then the costermongers adopted 1t
because it was cheap. When one OF
'Ary's friends dies the purchase of a
black coat is out of the question, so
he puts the band of Grape around the
sleeve Of his old coat and lets it 60
Mt that. The well-to-do New Yorker
who unwittingly adopts this custom
is first cousin to the parvenu who In
vests in n coat Of arms and picks out
one with bar sinister because NJ
thinks it looks just the thing.

regiment, after falling in love with a
young girl named Victoria Grey, man

Five years later Mr.. Grey wrote to
the mother superior inquiring after
his daughters health, but received no
reply. Then, on January 7. 1902, he
got letter from Father Bigi, vicar
general at Secunderabad, stating that
the girl was well.
1t was not till February s, 1903, that
Mr.. Grey discovered that his daughter
bad been taken out Of the convent two
years before by woman protesting
to be her aunt, and had been married
to soldier in northern India.
That soldier turned out to be 1,ri-
vate HUMPHREYS. Of the Cheshire r,gi-
ment. who had fallen in love with Miss
Grey while his regiment was stationed
