Mrs. Roosevelt's Cruise.

NORFOLK, Va, April B. Mrs. Roosevelt and the Roosevelt children enjoyed an old Virginia fish fry on the shores of Lynn Haven bay yesterday and an open air oyster roast as well. The party left the Mayfower five miles off the beach in cutter and came to the bar where they were transferred to skiff and rowed ashore. AS the guests of President J. W. Cole of the Chesapeake Transit company they were taken on a private car to Virginia Beach and then to Lynn Haven inlet. Young Theodore Roosevelt tried his luck with the rod and reel in Lake Smith before a curious crowd of coun- try folk. The youngster had very poor luck,

Young Mems Catholic Literary Asso-
 ciation Now in New Quarters.
 The new rooms of the Y. M. c. l.. A. in the Meigs block, 1U9 Bank street, were formally opened last night. The place was well nlled by the members and their friends and very interesting musical and literary program was rem dered. The rooms are handsomely fur nished, well ventilated, heated by steam and lighted by gas and electrici- ty. The opening address was made by President William Prior, who talked at some length on the aims of the as- sociation, and thu introducd John H. Moran, one of the founders of the so- ciety. MT Moran gave a sketch of the history of the organization since it was organized thtrty-six years ago, under the auspices of the late Bishop Hen drtcken, then pastor of the Immaculate Conception church. He was followed by another charter member, William c. Keenan. Remarks were also made by Attorney McMahon, J. NJ. Lynch, Thomas Finnegan, M. Scully, J. B. and Thomas English.

 The association has had hard fight for existence the past few years, but notwithstanding all its trials 1t seems to be in good shape at the present time and starts out in it's new quarters with very bright prospects. It was twice burned out in recent years, but emerged from the ruins determined to rebuild ssmightier than ever," and it has kept it's word. The association has a good membership. but 1t has room for more, and young men who have little time to spare will find it to their advantage to become associated with 1t. The principal objects of the society are to cultivate taste for healthy literature and the study of elocution and debate.

the merry crowd gathered there to

The president after listening to the
German students songs insisted on
leading one himself, and led the re-
sounding chorus through the lines Of
'Hoch Soil Err Leben" and followed
this by leading those present In three
re-echoing cheers and a tiger that
sounded like Comanche Indian yell.

park there are not only countless
bear, deer and elk, but herds Of buffa-
10 and moose as well.
The president has no thought OF vio-
lating the law, but if the hunting fails
to come up to his expectations it
would be possible for his companions
to redeem their promises by entering
the park and chasing a choice lot of
game in Mr. Roosevent's direction. o:
course the president is too good
hunter to consent to such an arrange
ment, but as last resort it could be
done without his knowledge.
Buffalo ford, on Wind river, is one
of the places where camp will be
pitched. The ford derives its name
from the herds of buffalo that used
to cross the river there. They some
times still wander down that way
from the park, and the president hopes
to get a shot at them.
From there the party will enter the
hunters paradise of the West-the
famous "Jacksons Hole" country.
Jackson Lake is in the heart of the
Teton range at the southern end of
lUe bllttI ltOO. lllOuIldluS. Mighty
peaks, on whose tips the snow never
melts, surround the lake so complete
ly as to give it the appearance of
hole dug out by mastodonic hands, and
the scenery is as wild and rugged as
IS to be found anywhere in the Rock
les
The Teton range is on the Idaho
Wyoming line and the Hole" is near
the southwest corner of the park. The
Hole is literally filed with game.
Bear are not SO plentiful there rs
further east in the Powder river coun-
try, but great herds of deer, elk and
moose. with now and then few buff
falo. roam the hills and canyons.
The presidents journey from the
East was marked by the usual Incl.
dents of such trip, and his arrival at

The president arrived at Milwaukee
at o'clock the afternoon of April 3
and departed at midnight. on sched-
ule time for La Crosse after putting
in one of the busiest days in his siren
uous life. He made three set
speeches, shook hands with hundreds
OF enthusiastic citizens and greeted
many old friends.
In his speech at the Plankinton
house banquet at night the president
devoted his attention exclusively to
the subject of trusts. He counseled
against hasty action that would in
jure legitimate enterprises and de-
clared that the cutting down of the
tariff instead of killing the trusts
would only kill our own manufac-
lures.
In his speech at Waukesha the
president elaborated his idea Of the
proper course of the United States
toward foreign nations and strongly
deprecated the policy of bluster and
loud talk.
When President Roosevelt stepped
from the special on its arrival in Mil
waukee and greeted the committee
and the crowd with his famous smile
it was the signal for burst Of ap-
plause from thousands of people. The
gleam of his white teeth was the first
impression" the oniookers got. Then
his hearty way of acknowledging the
reception brought more cheers, which
showed spontaneous regard for the
president of the United States.
He was welcomed at the train by
Mayor Rose, President Wadhams of
the Merchants and Manufacturers as
sociation and Gen. Otto Falk. When
he entered his carriage the express
sion of good will was SO cordial that
he remained standing bareheaded for
over a block, bowling right and left.
President Roosevelt was particular
ly interested in the rough riders of
troop A, which formed his escort, and
frequently spoke to the men as they
neared his carriage. By the time he
arrived at the soldiers home the car
riage was completely filled with flow
crs, spontaneous tributes paid the
president, all by school children.
At the home he was greeted by Col
Wneeler. the commandant and his
talk to the veterans was full of sym
rathy.

Ever since the presidents raid on
the Mississippi canebrakes western
senators and representatives have
been telling him that bear. deer and
elk are simply overrunning the Rocky
mountain region, and after carefully
comparing notes and the properly at
tested reports of trusted friends, he
selected the places which seem most
promising of results and has arranged
to camp out there.
II bears are there in anything like
the number alleged the president will
return to Washington with heart
full of happiness and a baggage car
full of hides. If it develop that he
has been buncoed again the men who
have told him the glittering array of
bear stories will find that they have
stirred up lot of trouble for them
selves.
The president and his party stop
first in Northern Colorado. They
leave the railroad well up toward the
Wyoming line and plunge into the
heart of the Rockies. They will have
as few guides as they can get along
with and small pack rain to carry
their camping outfit.
In Northern Colorado Mr.. Roose-
welt will pay particular attention to
bear. That is not good region for
other game, but the president has
been told bear are so plentiful there
that they tramp on one another's
toes. He will hunt there for week
or ten days and gradually work north
into the Big Horn mountains in
Northern Wyoming.
He will camp along the Powder riv-
er one of the historic streams of
the West, and penetrate the "Hole-in-
the-Wall" country. There his party
will be strengthened by few hardy
"cowpunchers," for he will be on dan
gerous ground.
The "Hole-in-the-Wall' region is
said to be alive with big game of all
kinds, but it is also known to be the
rendezvous of about the toughest
gang of desperadoes in the country.
Laughing Sam Carey, who is many
times murderer, is the chief Of the
band, and he is surrounded by forty
or fifty criminals.
Their presence has kept hunters
away for years. and bear, elk and
deer have found that section a safe
haven Mr.. Roosevelt has no inten-
ton of entering the Hole in the
Wall' itself, for fear his party might
be mistaken for sheriff's posse, but
he will go as close to it as is consid-
cred safe.
There the president will be close to
the southern border OF the Yellow
stone Park, within which no hunting
is allowed and where the game is
protected by United States soldiers.
