Many of the natives of Oyster Bay,
who consider themselves the president :
neighbors and home friends, were eN
cluded. Secretary Loeb was kept busy
explaining the situation as best he
could to disgruntled persons who be-
lieved they had a right to see Presi-
dent Roosevelt told of his nomination
and hear his speech.
They urged their point, but the
secret service men had orders to make
no exceptions and none We're made.
Altogether there were less than 10
persons present. ana :!.e ceremonies
were of the most simple nature. There

Modern Methods Employed.

Modern methods have been employ
ed by the new road to an extent which
reduces danger of accident to a mini
mum. The covered third rail supplies
the power directly, and there is
block system Of switches, with appli-
anccs, every 500 feet. These are SO
arranged that even should a motor
danger signal was set against an APP
preaching train it would be impossi-
bic for the latter to run past it for
the reason that the same mechanism
that displays the signal at the same
time shuts off the power and prevents
the train from moving another hun
dred feet.
As to the question of convenience,
the platform at every station are wide
and spacious, the stairways broad and
seemingly ample to accommodate any
crowd that may fill them, and the
waiting rooms and ticket offices, all
underground. are SO arranged that
there should be no undue congestion
even in the rush" hours of morning
and evening.
The service will be inaugurated
with 500 cars. In all essential re-
spects these are the same as are
used by the elevated trains, except
that they are vestibuled and lined
and sheated with copper so as to
make them as nearly fireproof as
possible.

miles of sewers had to be taken up

miles and miles OF gas mains and
water pipes and conduits that twined
themselves in and out and crossed

ground railway like a labyrinth. There
were elevated railways and surface
railways that had to be undermined,
but so bolstered up by artificial con-
struction that the daily transporta-

not disturbed. Blocks and blocks of

Cures Dyspepsia Even More Quickly
Now Than nj Other Seasons.

The point of least resistance is the
proper place of attack. This holds good
either in West Point tactics, or in the
treatment of disease.
The summer is, the best season in the
whole year for the treatment and cure of
stomach troubles. The outdoor life, the
common use of fruits and vegetables, and
the lessened strain upon the digestive
organs all help the cure.
Just take a Mona tablet after each
meal and complete the cure. This
remedy mingles with the food you eat
and aids digestion, it soothes and heals
any Inflammation that may be present
in the lining of the stomach, gives tone
and strength to the digestive organs,
builds up the nervous system, and soon
restores complete health.
w. B. Eastman has so much confidence
In the curative powers of Mi-o-na that
he guarantees to refund its cost in case it
does not effect a cure. Two weeks
treatment costs but SOC. Use it regular
ly for month and if you are not more
than satisfied with the results, take back
the two empty boxes to w. B. Eastman
and he will refund your money without
question. A guarantee like this shows
the confidence he has in the remedy.
Now is the times to get well by using
Mona.
