His Arrival.
is GIVEN DOUBLE RECEPTION

i'm His Summer Home
Mainly to Rest.

Oyster Bay, L. l., June 29.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt's home coming for the
summer Saturday was remarkable for
its cordially and also for its vigor,
due to the efforts of rival reception
committees, the result of a factional
difference among the townspeople. 1t
was really double reception, one
being planned by the Oyster Bay board
of trade, headed by PRECEDENT j. Nor
gan Griffin, and the other by ex-As-
semblyman Maurice Townsend. Both
were carried out according to pro-
gramme, but as both were directed to
the same end the friendly rivalry be-
tween the factions resulted only in
adding enthusiasm to the reception.
President Roosevelt and his party
were met at Long Island City by a
committee headed by J. c. Travers,
president of the Oyster Bay town
board, and escorted home on a special
train, the president occupying the pri-
vate car of President Baldwin, of the
Long Island railroad. The president
stepped from his car at 80 O'Clock,

Lutte and the people cheered he was es-
corted by the reception committee to
the town hall between lines of school
children, each waving a tiny Ameri-
can flag. Business houses and resi-
dences were handsomely decorated
Arriving at the hall. President
Roosevelt unveiled the civil war
trophy gun presented to the people of
Oyster Bay by the navy department.
Then, standing on chair. placed on
the steps leading to the hall, he de-
livered brief address to the crowd
of his friends and neighbors While
he was holding an informal reception
in the hall the school children were
drawn up in front of the building, and
under the leadership of the bands sang
the original song of welcome to the
president. Attracted by the singing,
the president appeared on the steps,
and, to the delight of the children, re-
quested them to repeat the song. AT
the conclusion of the ceremonies at
the hall the president and his family
entered carriages, and under the es-
cort of the committees drove to their
home at Sycamore hill.

ling. and the latter is a very I'M
portant matter. By gauging things
right one having small plot OF
ground may utilize almost every
inch of it. 1t is also better to have
a small piece OF ground and keep it
rich and free from weeds than to
have a larger one and give it less
attention. Market gardeners have
learned this, and many who once
gardened twenty or more acres are
now gardening but half as many.
And by intelligent. careful work,
and up-to date methods. they are
raising as much on the reduced
area as formerly. Much more might
be said, including the best variety
of seeds for this climate. when they
should be planted how the ground
should be fortified, how to kill
parasites, ETC., but the space at my
command will lot permit.

LIFE ON THE STAGE.
"Old Billie" Marble Doing His Regular
Stunt as of YOre.

William Marble, better known to
the public as Billy Marble, who is
appearing at the Grand this week,
carries the memories of a lifetime
spent upon the stage. His long
stage career is perhaps better APP
preciated by the people of the Mid
die West, where he is remembered
by the present generation as one of
the actors of their boyhood days.
There are few theatre-going people
in the towns of the northwest who
cannot recall the early days when
Billy Marble was a leading light in
the attractions which travelled
through the west.
Speaking OF his stage career yes
terday Mr.. Marble said: II first
came to st. Paul thirty years ago as
the leading comedian for Josie
Booth and Plunket. I played Tobey
Trimble in THE Factory Girl" and
Paul Prye, a character OF my own
creation, in those days. There
WASH t so much of St. Paul and Min
neapolis then, but there were al
ways good theatres there. These
places were our headquarters and |
have many fond recollections of the
towns. My wife. who is Ella Mar
BILE, was with me then and is here
with me to-day She still takes her
part on the stage, and we have been
together for 30 years.
My whole life has been spent on
the stage. I am 63 years old, and
was born of parents who were
actors. My great grandfather, VIM.
Warren, was the original Falstaff on
the American stage, and was the
builder of the Chestnut street thea
tire in Philadelphia. He and the
grandfather of Joseph Jefferson
married sisters. My ancestors were
from England and were among the
first actors to come to the United
States.
Of the famous actors I have many
recollections, and have played with
most of them. I was with the Nc
Wicker stock company when I was
Is years old, have played with Ohm
Wilkes Booth and was with a stock
company in Cairo when Sol Smith
Russell was property boy there.
My health is first class and I Elk.

When the breath is bad the stomach is out of

equal to Kodol Dyspepsia Cure for curing
indigestion, dyspepsia and all stomach dis

A certain professor in the state
school of agriculture, living near by,
is called a scientific gardener. His
methods are supposed to be thor
oughlv scientific and he is able to
give reasons for everything he does
in language which only the most
erudite could comprehend. His
garden has been deliberately des-
cribed and illustrated in the daily
papers-not that it was so eXtraordl-
nary in itself but because it was the
garden of an extraordinary man.
He brides himself on the amount he
is able to raise on a small plot OF
ground by the economy OF space,
and planting some Of the same
ground twice. I could not describe
nv methods in such technical or Pc
dantic terms as the learned profess
sor employs, for elaborate eluclda-
ton of the science of agriculture is
his profession, but | have raised
more truck on the same amount OF
ground than he has. | raise, every
wear. three crops of golden wax
beans on the same ground, and that
beats the professor or beans by just
fifty per cent. The first and last
crops are generally injured slightly
by frost, still they are fair crops.
The second crop is planted during
the hottest weather in July, and by
soaking the ground the plants are
up in twenty-four hours. Paren-
thetically it may be stated that many
professors whose extravagant word
expectorations constitute a terrific
strain upon the English language
are long on scientific and short on
practical, ideas. I sat out 256 eel
cry plants on a piece of ground
eight feet square, making the rows
each six inches apart each way.
The idea is to have the plants sc
close together that they will shade
| and blanch themselves and save the
trouble and space required by the
use of trenches. This is the up to-
date method, where one has but
; little ground, and by making the
ground rich enough and making il
thoroughly wet a good crop may be
raised. Two different professors

me celery could not be grown il
this way. They said the method
was irregular and unscientifc.

which she succeeded in doing.
Anchoring about a mile from the

ute Of 21 guns. Shortly thereafter the
colombian battery at the edge Of the
own returned the salute. Admiral
