Delivers al Address on Site Of WASH

Philadelphia, June 20.-At Valley
Forge Sunday President Roosevelt de-
livelea a notable address. This was
"Evacuation Day" at Valley Forge and
the anniversary was celebrated ap-
propriately in the little edifce which
has been erected on what is to be the
site of the Washington monument
church.
Accompanied by Mrs. Roosevelt, the
attorney general and Mrs. Knox and
members OF the presidents immediate
party, President Roosevelt drove to
Valley Forge from Mr.. Knox's beaut.-
full country home to attend divine
service at $3.50 p. m. in the Washing

chapel, but only a part Of them could
gain entrance as it's capacity is limited.
The president and party were seated
near the altar, which was simply
draped with a silk American flag.
After the simple services of the
Episcopal church had been concluded,
the president delivered his address.
He spoke upon the lesson taught by
Valley Forge and Gettysburg, that pa

Hot Meal without a Fire.

Readers of the war news will have
noticed one or two references to the
fact that timed meats for the Russian
troops are prepared by a process which
enables the contents of each tin to be
served hot without a fire. This boon
is secured by having the ordinary tins
filed with food 'jacketed" in patent
tins, says London Truth. The patent
tin contains water, together with a
chemical mixture, by means of which
the water can be raised to boiling point
in ten minutes or a quarter of an hour.
All that it is necessary to do when it is
desired to heat the food is to puncture
the top of the patent tin, the chemical
mixture being thereby forced into the
water, which soon begins to boil.

A Fashionable Gem.

It is long since anything new in
precious stones made a bid for popu-
larity, says the Pail Mall Gazette, but
since it became known that King Ed
ward looked with favor on the peridot
the beautiful sage green gem is be-
ginning to have a vogue. The peridot,
the Arabic name for precious stone,"
has for many years been found in Ural
mountain quartz and in the rocks of
South America, but it has been reserv-
ed for the khedive of Egypt to find
the stone in marketable quantity. The
stone is not %prohibitive in price and
goes beautifully with almost anything
except ,sapphires. In settings Of dia-
monds or pearls it is effective.

SHERIFF HAEE.N o. HARRIS o. Ct,
cRoIx COUNTY CMis.) SHOT
BY A EEcPERACO.
SLAYER MAKES HIS EcCApE
JUMPS FROM q TRAIN NEAR FALL
CREEK AND GETS AWAY IN
THE DARKNESS.

Hudson, Wis, June 20.-Sherfff
Harry o. Harris, one Of the most popu-
lar of st. Croix county citizens, lies
cold in death in a room over the u
ty Jail in this city, and a posse of citi-
zens, headed by fifty men of Company
B, Third Wisconsin infantry, are
securing the woods near Augusta for
John Smith, a Montana desperate,
who Saturday night shot and instantly
killed the sheriff in the smoking car
Of train No. 2, on the Northwestern
line near Fall Creek, in the presence
of forty passengers.
After killing the sheriff in cold blood
the bandit jumped from the moving
train and made good his escape in the
darkness. The whole country is thor
oughly aroused and every effort is be
ing made to capture the murderer.
There is talk OF lynching if the man
is taken alive.
Sheriff Harris, while going to La
velle, was told that a hotel at Roberts
had been robbed and was given a de-
scription of the robber, who was said
to be on the train.
The sheriff recognized from the de-
scriptiOn of the man wanted for the
burglary a Montana desperate named
John Smith, wanted for the murder OF
FRED Stevens, a Havre, Mont, police
man. May 16 of this year, and concern
ing whom he had circulars, with a pho
tograph, in his Jail Office.
Shot the Sheriff in the Face.
Harris located the man in the srnok'
er and when he placed Smith under ar
rest, the latter drew a 44-calibre re
volver and shot the sheriff in the face,
just below the left eye, the bullet com
ing out at the back of the skull.
AS Harris fell Smith sent another
bullet through the top of the dying
mans head, and the third and last bull
let went into Harris left arm.
The murderer then ran the entire
length of the train, which was slowing
up for Fall Creek station, and jumpee
off the last coach and escaped in the
darkness. No effort was made on the
train to stop the murderer.
After jumping from the moving tra1r
as it neared Fall Creek, Smith stole 6
horse from a farmers barn and rode
it ten miles east to Augusta, where ne
abandoned the animal. Smith was
seen at 4:3O o'clock Sunday mornins
at Augusta. and it is from that poln'
that an exciting man-hunt is now be
ing operated.
Smith is described as about 5 fee
10 inches iii height, fair complexion
and about twenty-five years of age. He
wore striped gray pants.
Harry O. Harris, the murdered
sheriff of st. Croix county, was forty
four years of age, and a Norwegian b!
descent. He was a Democrat in poll
tics.

Wrong Any Christian.
London, June 2O.-The correspond
ent of the Daily Mail at Tangier, under
date of June 10, says that a letter had
been received on that day from Raj
suli in which the bandit said:
"It is we'll that the Englishmen n
the Americans should know the truth
regarding my doings and the reasons
why l have taken Perdicaris. All that
has been said at Tangier about me-, as
we'll as the statement that | hate the
Christian Europeans and want to drive
them from Morocco, is wrong.

will come from Europe, for If troops
are landed we will fight
Raisuli lays the of the pres
ent trouble to the deposed governor
of Tangier who, with his family, gov
erned Tangier for generations, perse-
cuted Raisuli's tribe, killed boys, mutt
lated children and disregarded all the
principles of their religion.
Raisuli says that when he went to
Tangier he had no intention of taking
Perdicaris any more than he had OF
taking any other European or Ameri-
can, but he is glad that he took an
American, for, he says, America will
be forced to fight the sultan, over
throw the governor and release the in
nocent prisoners. Raisuli's letter con-
tinues:
"The new bashaw must be just, for
If he should prove unjust 1 warn the
government that the present trouble
may be renewed.
"Mr. Perdicaris is safe and wants
for nothing except to see his wife.
81 hope I have made my position
clear to the English and American
peoples"
A special messenger from the bri
gand arrived at the British legation
Monday. 1t is rumored that Raisul
desires that his immunity shall be
guaranteed by Great Britain and the
United States. The legations here
confidently anticipate the arrival OF
Messrs. Perdicaris and Marley within
two days.

New York, May 21.-More concern
has been shown over gold exports
than necessary. Thus far this season
or since April, the total shipments
have been nearly millions, but many
millions have been imported during
the same period, chiefly from Japan,
ana our net imports during the lagt
ten months have been over 4G nail
lions, so that the recent net loss this
spring has been comparatively unim-
portant if our previous imports, our
home production and our present
heavy stock OF gold are taken into
consideration 1t is probable that we
could easily lose $l00,000,000 net with
out giving any cause for anxiety, but
there is at present little likelihood Of
the movement attaining any such vol
ume. In the first place, the supply of
bars is exhausted, and gold com
which IS less profitable, must now be
shipped Next, as shipments increase
money rates tend to rise here and fall
abroad, so that the movement cor
rects itself automatically. Indications
already point to the movement having
reached its climax. The fact that
really does give reason for concern
however. is that government receipts
are steadily falling below eXpendt
lures This IS a movement which, if
not checked will eventually oblige
the treasury to face an awkward de.
1cit, for since we are burdenel with
the recent addition of 200 millions In
