Washington, Dec. 15.-"There are two
places in Georgia I propose to visit
some time while 1 am President, and
they are Roswell and Savannah. I
find it will be impossible for me to in
clude them in the trip l propose to
take to Texas next spring. 1t is my
present intention to go to Texas by
way of Louisville, and then out
through the Indian Territory.
ITO visit all the cities in the South
that have SO kindly invited me to do
so would require long time and would
necessitate a zig-zag route. 1t is very
gratifying to me to receive these in
vitations and some time in the future
I hope to be able to accept some. of
them. l have accepted an invitation
to be the guest of Senator Clay when
l visit Roswell, but that will have to
be deferred until another time for the
reasons 1 have stated. heartily ap-
preciate the invitation coming from
the Savannah Chamber of Commerce,
and I will write letter to that effect
This is the substance of President
Roosevelt's statement to the commit
tee representing the Savannah Cham
ber of Commerce that called at the
White House this morning and formal
ly invited the President to be the
guest of the city of Savannah during
his contemplated tour of the South.
When Representative Lester delivered
the invitation, there were present in
the Cabinet room Secretary of War
Taft, Senators Knox, Spooner and
Foraker, Representatives Sherman, of
New York; Bingham, of Pennsylvania;
Jackson, of Maryland, and several
other official visitors. In presenting the
invitation, Representative Lester as
sured the President that a cordial well
come awaited him, and that he would
find Savannah one of the busiest and
most prosperous cities in the country.
The interview was not protracted, as
it was known before hand that the
President had concluded that he would
not visit Georgia when he goes to at
tend the reunion of his Rough Riders
regiment in San Antonio. y

Ten American Boats Were Seized BY
a Canadian Cruiser.

Eastport, Me-, Nov. 29.-Ten Ameri-
can fishing craft, including eight sail
ing vessels and two steamboats,, have
been seized by the Canadian fisheries
protective cruiser Curlew and fined for
illegal fishing in the Canadian waters
of tributary of Passamaquoddy bay,
near st. George, N. B. The fishing
craft weSe seized near st. George Sun
day night, though an announcement at
this procedure was not made until
Monday. Three specific charges were
preferred against the vessels: That
they had fished on Sunday; that they
had illegally caught fish in their pos
session and that they had seined ille-
gally in Canadian waters. For the
first two offenses each boat was fined
$100 and for the last $500 In addi-
tiOn to this all seins and fish were
confiscated.
1t il understood that the fines will
be paid and that the entire matter will
be disposed of without involving any
international question. The aggregate
value of the craft is placed at about

Washington, Nov. 29.-Taking their
cue from the statements contained in
the Eastport dispatch, state depart
ment officials are not expecting the
seizure of the American fishing YES
sells to be made an issue between the
governments of Canada and the Unit
ed States. So far nothing has been
heard about the matter except the un-
official information contained in the
press dispatch, which indicates an am
icable disposition of the matter. In
the present instance the question of
extra territoriality appears not to have
been raised and the vessels were not
confiscated which has happened in the
case of seizures heretofore made, Ell
ther of these features usually being
sufficient to make the settlement Of
the controversy matter of diplomatic
negotiations.

ACLERGYMAN'S WIPE.
Through the Arrival of Timely Aid sb..
Escapes from the Terrors of
Prolonged Siege.

The Rev. w. A. Denton, of Girard

lowing story Of narrowing experience.
of one of the members of his family
"My wife, he says, was assailed for
fifteen years by a combination Of all.
ments following the birth Of our first
child. The food she ate fermented in
her stomach, she had frequent dizzy
spells, her limbs were swollen and pain.
full, her nerves were quite shattered. she
was unable to sleep and she was many
times on the verge Of heart failure.
"Physicians gave her only temporary
relief. Finally the favorable reports Of
some relatives and neighbors led her
to make trial of DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People. She expert
rienced improvement almost at once.
They relieved her sleeplessness, the
smothering sensations have disappeared
and have not annoyed her for years.
They freed her from stomach trouble
and the dropsical tendency was miti-
gated. The progress of the rheuma-
tism, which had begun to make her
fingers crooked, was stayed and the pain
was banished. In every respect they
gave her more help than any other REM
edy she had ever used, and she is today
in better health than for many years.
cdr. Williams Pink Pills are our sta
pie household remedy, and am in the
habit Of recommending them to all who
suffer from troubles like those which af-
flicted my wife"
All the elements necessary to give new
life and richness to the blood and repair
shattered nerves are contained, in con-
densed form, in Dr. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People. They are also specific
for troubles peculiar to females, such as
suppression, Irregularities and all forms
of weakness. In men they effect rad
ical cure in all cases arising from men,
tai strain, overwork or excesses of what
ever nature. DIR. Williams Pink Pills
are sold in boxes at fifty cents box
or six boxes for two dollars and fifty
cents, and may be had of all druggists,
or direct by mail from DR.. Williams Med
icine Company, Schenectady, NY. Be
