SW0RE AT ROOSEVELT
Bicyclist Directs Volley of Oaths
at the President and His
.~-~ Family.

Oyster Bay, N. Y, Aug. 3.-Profane and
abusive language was directed toward
President Roosevelt and his family yes
terday as they were driving up to Christ
church to attend morning service. The
offender was a man named Mccain. He
was hustled away unceremoniously by the
secret service men. a.
Accompanied by Mrs. Roosevelt and two
Of the children, the president had driven
from Sycamore Hill to attend service.
Directly in front of Christ church, Nc
Cam was walking along pushing BIZ
cycle. AS the presidents carriage was
about to turn into the driveway leading
to the church grounds, it passed Mccain.
The man, with an offensive oath, de-
manded to know whether they wanted
the whole road. This was followed by
abusive and profane language.
The president, greatly annoyed at the
insult offered to Mrs. Roosevelt and the
children, alighted and directed the atten-
ton Of the secret service officers to the
man. Mccain hesitated when ordered tt
move on but as an officer was about tc
stimulate his movements, he sprang on his
wheel and rode away rapidly. .e -.

USE OF POISONED MILK
It Is Not So Common as It Was,
Thanks to the Recent
Agitation.
New York Sun Special Service.


Washington, Aug. $3.-4With a view to de-
creas1ng the high rate of mortality among
infants caused by impure milk and to i'm
prove the quality of this important article
OF diet, the agricultural department has
investigated the milk supply of 200 cities
in the United States. This investigation
discloses the. fact that a considerable ad-
vance has been made in the chara cter and
healthfulness of the stock, the conditions
under which the COWS are kept and the
methods of handling the milk. The chief
Improvement shown by the inspections in
cities was the. decreased use Of chemical
preservatives. Conditions are not what
they should be. however, and in the judg-
ment of the officials of the department,
greater care should be exercised by farm
ers and dairymen in handling their pro-
duct, and the health officers of the states
and cities should devote more attention
to this important business. .-s
Many excellent suggestions were re-
ceivedo regarding improvements needed,
among the most important being the of
fetal indorsement Of properly conducted
dairies the eradication of tuberculosis
from all dairy herds, the branding of con-
demned cows, more severe penalties for
violations of the milk laws, publication Of
reports on tie inspection of dairies more
pay and allc wances and greater authority
for the insp ectors4 shipnientqof milk from
the farms promptly aftersmi lleing delivery
in sealed packages SO as to avoid unnec-
essary contamination by city dust, etc.

WHO WILL WIN LOVE GAME
Newport Society Girl Offers Her
Hand as Reward Of Tennis
Victory.

Newport, Aug. 3-At the height Of
frivolous season the Wooing OF Miss Gym
ithia Roche comes asa romance so re-
freshing- that the entire colony is watching
TO see whether Austen Gray or Malcolm
D. Whitman will be the chosen man. Miss
Cynthia is the only daughter Of Mrs.
Burke Roche, and she will share in the
fortune left by Frank Work, her grand
father. No girl in hers set is more at
tractive, not even Miss Schenck, Miss
Rives or Mrs. Reginald Vanderbilt.
s On Aug. 10 the National Lawn Tennis
association will hold the annual tourna-
ment here, and the gossips say the man
who puts up the best game will be the
accepted suitor Of Miss Roche. Whitman
plays great game, ranking with Larned
and other experts. Austen Gray is a
whirlwind on the tennis court. Whitman
and Gray are entered in the Newport con-
tests. &.R
Tennis is Miss cynthia's latest fad, but
she has a long list Of athletic accomplish
ments. She rides a horse like a cowboy.
,swims like the much -duQted mermaid, and
+ on the tennis court only Miss Florence
Twombly. the champion, can take her
measure. Unless a man can ride with
her to the hounds, or at least give an ar
gument at tennis, she is inclined to look
upon him with mild contempt. Therefore
Newport hears the rurnor that the mar
who reaps the laurels In the coming
tourney will win the hand of Mrs. Roche's
daughter. i15

And the Maharajah Of Benares Had
to Give Up His Ivory
Furniture,

London, Aug. 3.-Viceroy Curzons pos
session Of the maharajah of Benares' his
toric suite Of white ivory furniture has
prompted a question in the house Of com
mons. 80
The official explanation offered was that
on seeing this suite of furniture lying in
a dilapidated condition and hearing that
the maharajah took no interest in it Lord
Curzonl offered to buy it.. That thereupon
the -maharajah sent tito him asa present,
and Lord Curzon in return COVE the ma
harajah sporting gun worth $3.50, the
furniture being valued at about $500.
Another story told by the wife of high
official under Lord Curzon says that Lord
Curzon signifled desire to possess the
suite. which expression to a native gen
tleman was equivalent to a command to
hand it over, which the maharajah ac-
cordingly did, receiving in exchange a rifle
that cost $3.50. The suite now is practical
ly priceless and cost originally $4,000. It
is added that the maharajah was most re-
luctant to part with 1t.

MINISTER GOES TO JAIL
Would Not Pay a Dog Tax and the
Court Orders His Com

New York Sun Special Service.

New York Sun Special Service.
Vincennes, Ind, Aug. 3.-The Rev. Levi
Murphy, Baptist minister, to-day went to
jail rather than pay a fine for refusing to
take a dog tax.
The Rev. Levi Murphy likes dogs, but
has decided aversion to dog takers. Keep
a dog he would, and took delight in its
possession But to pay for a license was
quite another story. The minister had en-
joyed possession Of his dog for some time
unquestioned, and the tax never troubled
his mind.
Then came the, request, mildly at first,
that he comply with the law and take out
a license. The minister ignored the re-
quest. Another visit from the dog takers
brought request .couched in more siren
suous terms. He. must pay the tax or be
arrested. Still he refused. Then he was
summoned to appear in court.
He went, full Of wrath, determined not
to pay the tax. The judge heard his OBJ
jections and fined him. The minister
grew more indignant. It was unjust to
fine him. he claimed, and started in to lee
ture the court for unwarranted procedure
The court listened, but did not relent. He
was told that he must pay the fine or &c
to jail. The minister would not pay the
fine, and now he is III jail.
