ONLY UNnIXED GOOD.
President Roosevelt Speech to Porto
 Rican Teachers,

WASHINGTON, Aug. 13.-Presidens Roosevelt rendered reception and de livered a brief speech to about 300 schoolteachers of Porto Rico, who have been in this country for several weeks attending various normal schools. The reception took place in the east room of the White House. The president adr dressed the teachers as follows:
 Ladies and Gentlemen-I wish to greet you with all my heart here at the national capital. It is my earnest wish, as it was the wish of my la mented predecessor and as 1t is the wish of the people of the United States, that only unmixed good shall come to the people of Porto Rico be- cause of their connection with this country.
 T greet you with peculiar pleasure and interest, because this body and those like you who are engaged in the work of education in Porto Rico are doing that work which, more than any other, is vital to the future of the is- land We must have education in it's broadest and deepest sense education of the heart and soul as well as of the mind-in order to fit any people to do it's duty among the free peoples Of progress in the world. And l trust that you here, you teachers, you men and women engaged in preparing the next generation to do It's work, realize fully the weight of the responsibility resting upon you. Accordingly as you here in this room and your colleagues do your work well or H. 1t depends as to how the next generation of Porto Ricans shall do their work in the world.
 T am glad to see you because of the very fact that there is this responsi- bility upon you. Nothing in this world comes to people who will not work. Nothing worth having comes to those who do not or are not willing to make ain effort to get it, and shall hail you here because you represent that great body of young fellows in Porto Rico who are making every effort to fit them selves, physically, mentally and moral ly, to do the best work of which they are capable in the world. greet you and welcome you here"
 The members of the party then were presented to the president by Samuel M. Lindsay, superintendent of public instruction of Porto Rico. President Roosevelt extended to each cordial personal greeting.

 NEW YORK, Aug. lS.--R. c. Dun @ Co.'S weekly review of trade says:
 Moderate improvement In midsummer means more than an equivalent iu- crease at any other season, and the bet ter trade reported during the past week is consequently most encouraging. Dis patches from all parts of the country are by no means uniform, In some cases the outlook showing no change while at few points there have been setbacks; but on the whole the progress is unmistakable.
 The approaching presidential election is viewed with more equanimity than any other contest of recent years, both in financial and industrial circles.
 Liabilities of commercial failures thus far reported for August amounted to $1 ,59S, ,O9O, of which &5TT ,354 were in manufacturing, $a5b. 18e in trading and Se5, GOO i'll other commercial lines. Fatl- ures for the week were 222 in the United States against 174 last year. and B in Canada compared with 22 8 year ago,

BROOKLYN BRIEFS.

From the Atlantic to the Pacific they are raging still. Lolly Pops. That's all. B. F. Dunphy Grocery co.
 "A condition confronts boarding house keepers in Brooklyn and other places as well which shows, no miS- ter what the political spellbinders say. that the plain people are not making much headway in this coun- try. The price of everything IS so high that people who lived by keep ing boarders find themselves handi- capped to make anything at the busir ness now. A woman told a repre- sentative of this paper to-day that all she gets from girl boarders is $3 h week and that this would not pay for things to put on the table for them. The situation Is little better with re ference to men, who pay anywhere from $4 to $5 per week when they are working and nothing at all in the dull season. She claimed that it would not help matters any to put up the price because the fellows and girls who stop with her could not pay more, anyway, She said 1t was out of the question to keep b0arders this year at regular prices and give them meat. You couldn't get enough steak for man for what he pays for his board let alone other things. A silni- lar condition exists ill all parts of me town. The price of everything IS So outrageously high nobody except people who have good means can af- ford to buy what q family ought to have on the table. If the boarderS don't think so let them drop inro some meat market and price the stock. Probably this is one feAson why many thoughtful citizens hope to see a change in our present sysienf of government in the hope that the common laborer may have a show not only to earn enough to live on, but also have little to put aside for tile rainy day These are plain facts and yet the politicians will tell you that times never were better. Don't 1 take any stock in such ghost stories, The man who tells you that you call maintain family and save money out Of $l.5O q day at the way things are selling In the markets now takes 1 you for fool or thinks you have no l right to a decent dish and suitable place to live in.

,ac oAo,y dn,y Of the Confederate
-,lii.l
have thought, from the time of
the cessation Of ho>;iitic-. that 81
icncc on the part Of the south was the
true course and think so still. Con-
troversy Of all kinds will, in my opin-
ion, only serve to continue excitement
and passion, and will prevent the pub
lie mind from the Acknowledgement and
acceptance Of the truth. These con-
siderations have kept me from reply
ing to accusations made against my
self, and induced me to recommend
the same to others. AS regards the
treatment Of the Andcrsonville pris-
oners, to which you allude, l know
nothing ard can say nothing of my
own knowledge.
The innumcrable marks of affection
and loyalty from the southern people
touched him profoundly. When his
health failed and he made what be-
came a triumphant trip to the south
he almost shrank from the crowds that
did him honor. He said: II am only
poor, old Confederate"
Tempting business offers came to
him, but he declined. TO one propo-
sition he made this reply:
am grateful, but have self-im-
posed task which / must accomplish.
have led the young men Of the south
in battle; have seen many Of them
die on the field; l shall devote my re-
naming energies to training young
men to do their duty in life.
Of the fullness Of the closing years
at Lexington it is not necessary to write
here. You have but to read the
letters written during those days to
wife, sons, daughters and friends to
realize the beauty and nobility of his
solicitude for his family and his stu
dents; how his great heart went out
in affeotionate sympathy with his bat
tle.tried comrades; how in the faithful
pursuit of peace he won distinction
and admiration even as he had in
war.
"Traveler" was with him in those
last years. Almost to the end he con
tiuued his rides, his favorte one be-
ing to the Rockbridge baths. Often
he rode alone, galloping home through
the twilight. Always his thoughts
we're for Virginia. Once during his
last year, one of his young cousins, in
talking with him, wondered what fate
was in store for ''us poor N'irginians.
The general replied with an earnest
softened look:
You can work for Virginia, to build
her up again, to make her great again
You can teach your children to love
and cherish her.
You finish these "Recollections anl
Letters Of Gen Lee" with deeper and
truer veneration Of his character auc
purpose. 1t is an intimate view OF 6
noble and chival-e Is career.
