Oyster Bay, September 11.--No official

Roosevelt today, and he transacted no
public business. AS usual the President
and his family spent most of the day
quietly at Sycamore Hill. Accompanied
by Mrs. Roosevelt and several of the
children, the President attended the

the two armies there was as great a
contrast as In other essentials. Rus
sian firing Is almost all by volleys with
quite mechanical regularity. Even in the
use of artillery they follow plan of
discharging one gun after another rapid
ly and with precision. Today four Rus
SLAMS guns saluted the Japanese for an
hour as a regiment of the latter was
moving Into position before the Russian
front The manner of it was "One!
Two! Threel Fourls, again. Their in
fantry work is on the same order. Oc-
casionally the Japanese use volleys but
most of the time they fire at will giving
the enemy less information of their po-
sition and gaining the advantages of In
dividual Workmanship. They lie like a
hunter in the bush waiting for his game
and when they see 1t they blaze away.
''Boer tactics" their officers explain.
For the Russians 1t is though the
Boer war had never oeen." an English
officer exclaimed. while watching the
fight of the 18th. The Russian soldier
has not the head to be trusted to use
his ammunition of his own free will is
the general explanation. Moreover 1T Is
the opinion of all who have seen the
two In battle that the Russians are much
poorer marksmen than the Japanese,
although the latter are not rated as high
as certain other armies.
Russian Bravery Not Questioned.
No one who has seen this campaign
questions Russian bravery. The great SUI
periority of the japanese lies in the head
work of officers and men. The scene
around the temple nearest the Pass when
the correspondents arrived on the field
bore witness eloquently to the courage
of the patient Slav. Through four ter

THE HEARST CLUB
It Has Absorbed the Democratic Fac
 tions of the Country.

The William Randolph Hearst Club of Maricopa county was organized yes terday at O'Neill hall. It was accom- plished in standing and silence except for a speech by Eugene Brady O'Neill because he owned the hall and had a right to talk if he felt like it. He always feels like it. It is not often the demo . crats of this county do anything with out a great deal of oratory but this was an occasion too sacred for talking.
 The meeting was in response to a call issued by w. B. Cleary and Thomas F. Parish constituting the committee on organization" It has never yet been discovered who took the initiative in the formation of this com nittee but after all. that is matter only of curious scientific interest. The solution of it would be of no material benefit to mankind. The committee was defacto if not de jure, the call was answered and the club has been organized.
 There is wide difference in the es- inmates as to the number of demo- crats who conugregated at the hall yesterday. One enthusiast thought there were between 300 and 401. Another put the number at 120 and the Phoenix member of the Hearst syndi- cate said that 800 stepped mp and signed the roll.
 J. D. Loper was the temporary chairman of the meeting and A. D. Leyhe, the temporary secretary. The meeting proceeded to business at once. A committee on bylaws, consisting of w. T. Smith, T. F.. Parish, r. C. Norris, Carl Hayden and Eugene Brady O'Neiil was appointed. The following gentle men were made members of the com mittee on organization: J. Fl. Lang ston, c. E. Wood, Captain J. G. Evans, John Norton and w. H. Wallace. It

was not explained whether this com mlttee was for the purpose of the or eanization of the meeting or whetherit was designed te sapplant those hardy pioneers, Messrs. Cleary and Parish.
 The committees having been appoint ed there was q recess It was ip'- mediately after the reconvening of the meeting that MT. ONeill arose and as serted his proprietorship of the hall by addressing the assembled throng. He was followed by Chairman Webb of the territorial central committee, re- cent convert to the Hearst movement.
 Then followed the reports Of the committees. The report of the resolu- tions committee was submitted by Cap<ain J. G. Evans. He was the chairman of the committee. This honor had been bestowed upon him in order to influence the silver republican vote of the territory which it is said Captain Evans carries Tn his vest pocket and can deliver it bodily. He is therefore n gentleUan much sought after.
 The resolutions dealt exclusively with the statehood question and the attitude of MT. Hearst on that question. They set forth that Arizona owed much 10 Mir Hearst for his declaration of friendly intentions. The republican senate Of the United States contem- plated making a joint state out of New Mexico and Arizona. It was resolved that an appeal should be made to Mr. Hearst to at once go across from the house Of representatives to the other end of the capitol and put stop to the nefarious operation, to nip it in the bud.
 Everything that had been proposed having been adopted unanimously the organization was completed by the
 election of W. B. Cleary president and
 J. D. Loper first vice president and .. B. Wood secretary of the club. It was
 also decided that there should be a
 vice president in every voting precinct of the county. When the club ad- journed it adjourned to meet again, if
 not in this world on some brighter and happier shore.
 It should be added that the opposi- tion to the Hearst movement which threatened at its inception some weeks
 ago has been absorbed. There is not
 much enthusiasm on the south side
 but there is no open and active an- tagonisIn.

Newspaperdom relates a story of a
new reporter on sensational New
York daily, who one day called up his
chief by telephone for instructions rs
TO what he should do. 1t was in the
days when the yellow journalism craze
was at it's height, and the battle for
news was fierce. The city editor
asked the reporter to hold the wire a
minute till he saw il he had anything
to be looked after In that section of
the city. Then these instructions came
over the wire: Summers, promi-
nent, wealthy, young fellow named
Stuart was up in the West Side police
court for drunkenness this morning.
He pleaded to have his name kept out
of the newspapers for fear that his
mother would hear of it. She has
heart trouble, and he says the shock
would kill her. Go over to her house

induced by the heavy fur overcoat he
was wearing. Kathryn Kidder made
an equally ridiculous error once. She
had the part of worker in laundry
and was busily engaged in ironing
when a stray cat walked onto the
stage. Miss Kidder, to give touch
of domesticity to the scene, picked UP
the cat, petted her, and put her down
on the nearest place at hand. Sudden

TOLD BY OLD CIRCUS MAN.
Sensation the Giant Produced When
Travelling by Stea boat.

THE great giant never made great
err sensation" said the old circus man,
than he invariably did when seen on
the upper deck of steamboat.
when we shipped from one town to
another we commonly moved by the
road; but sometimes when we were
going to stop at two towns along a
river and the distance between the
two towns was great, and the old man
could make profitable dicker with the
steamboat people, why, then we'd
make the skip by boat. And moving
In this way the giant did tremendously
advertise the slow.
You see, we couldn't have him
crawl aboard boat by the gangway,
between decks, and curl himself up
there somewhere below; we had to
carry him where he could be seen by
all. ..sl,
HE would step up from the wharf
to the steamboats, upper deck, and
stay right there straight through the
trip, in full view from the rivers banks
on either side, man as tall as the
steamboats, chimneys. And seen walk
ing or standing there as the boat came
along, or sitting there, maybe, in n
great armchair that we never failed to
carry along for him, he made sight
that everybody along the river came
to see and looked at with wonder.
"And when we had come to where
| we We're to land, where they could see
the great giant close at hand, why,
the people there looked at him with
awe.

SCREW DRIVER A WONDER.
It Will Be Used to Dig a Tunnel I'M
der the North River.

der the North River.
The largest and most powerful screw
drivers ever devised have just been de-
livered in the vicinity of New York.
The Pennsylvania railroad in planning
for its double tube under the North
river has decided that it needed them,
and the engineering department, work
ing with the construction department,
has provided them.
The carpenter in using the ordinary
screwdriyers exerts power Of about
thirty pounds. The new screwdriv er
will have n power of 100000 pounds,
equal to that exeI'ted by 6,666 carpen-
ters. They will drive the great piles
which must be sunk under the tunnel
they will, in fact, be the piles them
selves. Inasmuch as about 100000
GOO pounds of metal will be used in the
tubes, faint idea of what the piles
will have over them can be formed.
The screw driver piles are cylinders
two and one-quarter feet in diameter,
made of east iron one and one-quartel
inches thick They will be located
every fifteen feet centrally, so that both
tubes will be reinforced. They will be
made In length short enough to be
handled In the tunnel, the successive
lengths being belted on as the pile
sinks. The screw driver, or screw
point so-called, is at the end of the
pile and is SO constructed that it will
have one turn of twenty-one inches and
Il diameter of four and three-fourths
feet.
Examples of the power of the screw
were given the other day, when it was
said that its force would be equaled
only by weight of 100000 pounds
placed on the pile, or 1t could be
equaled by the power of lever one
half mile long, at the end of which
would be a man weighing $50 pounds

Helms to Detectives.

Each of us carries with us, every
day of our lives, number of uncon-
sidered things of which, if necessary,
detectives could easily identify us.
Take clothes first of all. 4 man, as II
rule, gets all his clothes from the same
tailor; but, whether he does or not,
and however carefully he endeavors
to cut off every tag and mark, that
tailor would have no difficulty in ident-
flying the garments he has made
Thread stitching, buttons, lining-all
tell their own tale. More particularly
so do what tallors call specials"
These are simply special pockets
fountain pen and pencil pockets, eye
glass pockets, watch pockets lined with
wash leather, cigar, ticket, flask and
inner waistcoat pocket. A watch has
frequently brought criminal to JUS
tice. The man who has ever gone to
good dentist has left behind him a
lifelong record which would enable
that practitioner to identify him with
absolute certainty. Such a dentist
makes note Of every tooth he stops,
and more particularly of different
kinds in these days. Plain gold or
plain amalgam Is comparatively rare
ly used. Gold and platinum in various
proportions and many other metals are
employed, SO that, unless criminal
has all his teeth pulled out, he can
most certainly be identified. Even IL
plate is as sure clue as a coat.

the Gainesville public schools In
March, 1902. The same month he took
the examination given candidates for
third grade teachers certificates In
Ozark county making good average
and securing a certificate. He con-
tinued to study, and just after he be-
came IL years old he took the eXamin-
alton for a second grade certificate.
This time his average grade was the
highest made, being 96 per cent. Mr..
Harrison believed his promising son
was too young TO teach and refused to
let him accept several offers. But one

Land Swners Want to Keep the For
ests for laundering Purpo cs.
Away up on the northeastern border
of Maine, along the st. John and
Aroostok rivers, are hundreds of little
clearings in the forests, where squat
ters' from New Brunswick have come
in, cleared a few acres Of land not be-
longing to them, built log houses, raised
small crops and large families and set
tied down in the serene and happy eX-
istence known only to the Acadlans,
who are the direct descendants of the
refugees from the Land of Eyangeline.
The men who own the lands have tried
in ali sorts of ways to get rid of these
unlimited colonists, and on numerous
occasions have invoked the law TO drive
them away. Then followed eyicttions
by the score, with scenes as pathetic
and distress as bitter as any ever wit
messed In Ireland, but the remedy has
always been ineffective, for more
"squatters" came in to occupy the
lands, and not all the law nor the
sheriffs in Maine are potent to keep
the mild-mannered but persistent Aca-
dams off the domains of the rich timber
land owners.
The little farms increased from
scores to hundreds, and the timber land
owners appealed to the state to do
something lest their entire holdings be
one day absorbed by "squatters." and
so last winter the legislature passed
an act appropriating enough money to
buy 10000 acres Of lands, to be present
ed to the settlers, thus making good
their title to what they had come and
taken without leave. The state also
has 'squatters' to contend with, for
many of them have settled on the
school lands, and lately it has been de-
cided instead of eyicting them, to sell
to them the lands they are occupying
at nominal price.-New York Tribune.

AN OLD FRONTIER TOWN,
Scuilyville, ]. T., to Choctaw Indian
Was "Money Town.

"dS -"oHSS IL Shs
Scullyville located two uliles from
Spiro in the Chociaw Nation. is the
Oldest town in the territory. AT first
glance the tourist sees charming
expanse of tumbled landscape; Oh the
hillsides the quickly growing cotton,
on the hilltOps, everywhere the 81
gantic trees, monarchs of untold cen
turtles. But on entering the little vii
lage something else crosses the Wis
ion. 1t is the air of age, of antiquity,
which hovers over everything.
Scullyville has history. 1t was
built nearly ninety years ago, and it
is the oldest town between Arkansas
and the borders Of the Lone Star
state. When the Choctaws moved
northward from their Mississippi home
they were promised an annuity for
a term Of years; and the place where
Uncle Sam payed this money was Soul
lyville.
In the musical Choctaw tongue
"Scully" implies money" so to them
it was "Moneytown." So to Scully-
vile they journeyed yearly by thou
sands an army drawn from every
compass point in the land of this great
tribe
Gen. Armstrong, one of the early
members Of the Dawes commission,
was born here while his father was In
dian agent. The rayages of the great
civil war and terrible smallpox
scourge In 1861 left their scars on
Scullyville, and they are there yet
In the old cemetery in the grove on
the hill one may linger for hours
among the aged and sunkcn tombs.
Schullyville is a charming spot. and
one may well wonder how so ancient a
place comes to be In what is known as
a new country. The name of the towi:
has been changed in recent years to
