OPEN WAY TO ROOSEVELT.
How Two New York Men Saw the
President without EncOunterinR
the Secret Service Guards.

The discussion as to- whether there
are guards enough about the presidents
home at Oyster Bay recalled to two
men of New York city the other day an
incident of year ago when they made
a first trip to the summer capital of the
nation.
They didn't drive over by the regular
road from the village, but landed from a
boat and then walked through the
woods and across lots up to Sycamore
Hill. Neither knew the way, but they
assured each other that they'd know
the Roosevelt domain by the presence
of secret service men
1t occurred to them when they thought
they were near the right place, though,
that it wouldn't do any harm to inquire
the way, so they walked across a field
and up the steps to the back veranda
of fne-looking house. Not a secret
service man was in sight around there.
A man was sitting on the veranda
Can you tell u.s." asked one of the
callers. where President Roosevelt's
house is?''
This is President Roosevelt's house. !"
replied the man on the porch, who hap
pened to be Senator Burrows, of Michi-
gan.
And before the callers could recover
from their establishment the president
himself appeared at screen door OPEN
ing on to the veranda, and said: Good
morning, gentlemen"

cidentally stumbling upon the president
without even first seeing a private Sec

RADIUM IN MEDICINE.
expected to Work Marvellous Results
In the Treatment of Cancer
and Blindness.

The Anglo-Indian Review sum.
marizes an interesting account of the
possible future applications of radi.
UNI. The area where success is prac.
tically assured is at present not very
large, but in the medical field it is al.
ready fairly extensive. In the work
ing of X-rays and in the marvellous re.
suits achieved in the treatment of can
Ger and blindness we have every hope
for great and universally benefting
results. In its industrial application
we are somewhat restricted by the
extremely limited supply of radiun
available, but it is stated that a small
fraction of an ounce. properly en-
ployed, would probably provide a good
light sufficient for several rooms. and
would not require renewal during the
present century. 1t has been caIcu-
lated that the energy stored up in one
gramme of radium is sufficient to
raise 500 tons weight a mile high. An
ounce would, therefore, suffice to drive
a 5O-horsepower motor car at the rate
Of 80 miles an hour round the world.

his wife for rehearsals be got the cold
shoulder both from the manager and
the performers. Even the animal
keepers, grooms, canvasmen and
razorbacks pointed him out as Flora
Ervine's deadwood. The performers
were especially severe in their COM
ments. Said the first singing clown,
the oracle of the dressing-room:
why, the chappie don't know
enough to even keep up her horses"
Cor groom them" added a grotesque
who always confirmed the oracle's
opinions.
Milton Folsom had joined the show
with determination to fit himself in
somewhere. Possessing no money in
his own right and without a calling,
he found himself in the position Of a
non-producer. Cupid, the rascal, had
trapped the young man and lured the
lover into an unenviable situation.
When the husband blamed himself,
the wife asserted:
Don't reproach yourself, dearest;
never mind what others say or look
All will come out right in the end"
After Bryant had engaged his lady
rider he still had one matter in hand
that troubled llim-as much as man
OF his temperament could be worried.
During the winter he had purchased d
den of hyenas with the intention of
having them broken for a feature of
the street parade. When Bryant
bought the brutes he was confident
that his boss animal man, the lion
king, would train the animals and ap-
pear in public in the sensational group.
For once the manager counted without
his host
mot on your life!" exclaimed the
lion king, on hearing the proposition.
What, me break them grave rob-
bers? Not on my tintype!"
Neither persuasion nor bullying
would alter the determination of the
employee, nor could the willy manager
cajole any Of the minor keepers into
becoming the Brave Master Of the
Grave Robbing Hyenas." Bryant even
tempted canvasmen, grooms and razor
backs in vain. Just as he was on the
point Of advertising for a trainer a
bright thought entered his dullish
brain. After the birth Of the inspira-
ton he cultivated Milton Folsom with
a purpose. The manager did not
breach the uppermost subject abrupt
ly. Shrewdly he bided his time, and
when he believed that he had sufn-
GENTLY ingratiated himself, he ex-
planned incidentally his dilemma in the
lack Of trainer and an exhibition in
the procession of the den Of hyenas.
What l want" said Bryant, sis

ly at the young man as he emphasized
"a man of nerve"
Milton Folsom repeated the words
and added, calmly: Il have some
nerve"
The manager fairly sprang forward
as he wheedled:
eff you could only do it, 1 would
make it an object"
But she must not know it while 1
am breaking them in" said the young
husband.
The bargain was made in whispers,
as if the walls indeed had ears.
When the boss animal man learned
of the project he was bold enough to
expostulate with the manager, declaring
in his honest Indignation:

Man. bird and beast, each had their mate;
But / was all alone!

Columbia, S. c., Jan. 2O.-Editor N.
G. Gonzales died at one p. m. After
battling for almost four days for life,
the victim Of Lieut.. Gov. James II.
Tillman's bullet passed away at the
Columbia hospital. Mrs. Gonzales
came.
When the bulletin was posted an
nouncing the death, the crowds
which have been about the bulletin
boards almost constantly since the
tragedy increased rapidly, and all
phases and details of the tragedy
were discussed.
Ti1lman Visibly Affected.
In his cell, where he has been con-
fined since the shooting, Lieut.. Gov.
Tillman heard the news with visible
emotion. There is universal sorrow.
Since 1890 Sunday night it was
evident that the crisis had arrived.
Mr.. Gonzales, as he became more
nervous, was subjected to vomiting
and generally grew worse. He con-
tinued to lose ground, and as early
as three o'clock Monday morning
hope was practically abandoned. The
last heroic treatment resorted to
was the use of formalin. One-fiftieth
of a grain was injected in the veins
in the hope of stopping blood poison
ing. At seven a. m. all of the pa
TENTS relatives who were not at the
hospital were summoned. His wife,
two brothers and sister, besides
members of the editorial staff, re-
sponded. Is
Cause of Death.
1t is announced that death was due
to septic poisoning from the wound
in the liver. After the last examina-
ton of the doctors at II o'clock it
was declared that there was no hope.
A solution of formaldehyde was in
jected at 1880, but there was no i'm
provement in his condition. Soon
after, the physicians made an injec-
ton of one-fiftieth of grain of
formalin direct into the veins, in
hope of preventing blood poisoning,
but this also proved futile. Gonzales
was unconscious during most of the
morning. The city was quiet, except
for the great crowds around the bull
letin board, discussing the details of
the tragedy.
= Favorable symptoms were visible
Sunday, and up to midnight it was
reported that Mr.. Gonzales was hold
ing his own we'll. 8.
During Sunday there was an indi-
cation of improvement in the wounds
in the intestines. The obstruction
had been removed and the pus cavi-
ties kept open, while two wounds
seemed to have progressed favorably
in the healing. 1t was even thought
he had passed the danger of portion
tits. 49, t-$..r
At 1870 Monday morning, however,
it was noticed that his condition had
undergone decided change and it
was reported that the crisis had ar
rived. Mr.. Gonzales became exceed
ingly nervous and gradually grew
weaker. g..
Funeral ArranSementS.
The funeral will be held Tuesday
afternoon at four o'clock. The
services will be at Trinity church
and will be presided over by Bishop
Capers, of Yorkville, S. C. The body
