TO VISIT ATLANTA.
President Roosevelt Invited to See
the Southern Metropolis.

Atlanta, Ga. Dec. 10.-Theodore
Roosevelt, president Of the United
States. will be invited by the Atlantic
chamber of commerce to visit this city
during the convention Of the National
Manufacturers Association, which will
be held in May.
Resolutions to this effect were pre-
sented to the chamber by its former
president, J. X. Orr, at the annual din
ner of that organization. held at the
Kimball house, last night. They were
seconded by A. c. Bruce and indorsed
in ringing speeches by Mayor Evan P.
Howell, John B. Goodwin and H. z. w.
Palmer, after which they were unani-
mously adopted by rising vote.
The reading Of the resolutions, the
succeeding speeches and the rising vote
which followed were decidedly the
feature Of the chamber of commerce
dinner last night, though DR.. Erich
Zoepffel- -Quellenstein, the German con-
sui to Atlanta, delivered a notable
speech and other matters OF the great
est interest took place.

Takes a Fall Out Of a Remarkable
Boston Newspaper.

SOohS' iNS"SPePV''
The Boston Herald, staid news
paper. so far forgot itself rs to print n
yellow story about the maltreatment OF
the Roosevelt Thanksgiving turkey.
Here is an extract:
When the bird was released they
(two of the presidents chfldren) began
their fun. They chased the turkey all
over the white house grounds. pluck
ing at 1t, yelling and laughing, until
the bird was well-nigh exhausted.
When they became tired Of their sport
they left the bird to retire in peace un-
der the rear portico Of the white house.
The president witnessed part Of the
proceedings and laughed.
The president was highly incensed
when he saw this astonishing yarn,
and caused an official denial to be is
sued by Secretary Loeb. He did not
care about inventions Of imaginative
correspondents that concerned only
himself but as to his children, that
was another matter Now the Boston
paper is denied access to sources Of
public information. The incident
would seem not to be very important,
but It has attracted wide notice in the
east.

he could properly or legally interfere
to bring about settlement Of the
strike of the union employees Of the
Carnegie Steel company at Youngs-

delegation consisted OF Representative

listened to what his callers had TO say,
expressing regret that the differences
between the men and the company APP
parsntly were not susceptible OF amic-
able adjustment. He said. however,
that he had no authority which would
warrant him In interfering, glad as
he would be to see the strike settled.

GRAFT IS KILLED.
Merchant and Newspapers Of Seattle
Jumped on Trading Stamp Nuisance.

The newspapers Of Seattle are refus-
ing the advertising which contains any
mention of the word trading stamp.
There are four daily papers in Seat
tie. three Of which agreed not to en-
courage but rather discourage the trad
ing stamp.
When the trading stamps were plan
ned for Seattle, the largest stores
agreed to have nothing to do with them
one argument being that II Smiths
grocery had green stamp, Jones' gro
Gerry would have a brown, etc, until
every grocery had trading stamp and
the effect would be lost
The agreement has been adhered to.
One store which was not in the
agreement is using the stamps and
has offered four papers advertising
which contained mention of trading
stamps Three papers refused on the
ground that their contracts read copy
must be furnished which is unobjec-
tionable to the publishers" The
fourth paper had no such clause and
had to cary the advertising or stand a
lawsuit.
AS the matter now stands, the trad
ing stamp has practically no publicity
in Seattle and is failure.
Advertising builds up lack Of ad-
vertising kills.-White's Sayings.
