night, to hear President Roosevelt.
The day had been a trying one for the
entire party, the wind blowing the
entire day, and at Lincoln smart
rainstorm greeted the president on
his arrival. The dust and sand which
blew across the prairies added an
other unpleasant feature to the jour

Much preparation had been made in

pie. who lined the streets on both
sides for a mile and a half along the
route of the carriage drive.

grafton into the United States for the

This makes it almost certain that the

On Friday night George Scott, yard

at Cartaret, who has been repairing his
forty-foot cabin launch, escaped by a
miracle with his life when an explosion Of
gasoline tore the launch to pieces. On
Friday Mr.. Scott had closed the boat up
tight and i'll the evening he went aboard
with the intention OF seeing if everything
was all right. When he got inside
of the cabin he shut the door and
struck a match. Before he had
time to think he found himself sailing
through the air, out Of the top of the
ceiling which had been torn.
1t is supposed that a tank of gasoline
which was aboard the boat had been
leaking and when the match was struck.

about the face and hands, and had his
eye brows and hair badly burned. The
campany's fire brigade was called out but
