and labor. His speech was given close
attention, and he was frequently In

accompanied to the fair grounds by
Mrs. Roosevelt, and she, too, was the
recipient of much attention.
A bit of sentiment was responsible
for a brief stop at Lexington, where
the president was greeted by severa.
hundred people, to whom he spoke
briefly. Lexington is the county seat OF
Davidson county, which was the only
county in North Carolina to give MT
Roosevelt g majority at the last ma
tional election, Another reason for the
request was that the president might
be greeted by the three hundrd or
phan childrn who are being cared for
in an asylum there. The little ones

American flags, as the train came to
q stop. -.

of her historic churches, the Govern
ment Street Presbyterian.
The president seemed to be deeply
touched by his reception and alluded
to the warmth of the greeting in his
speech, in which he said, in part:
Il cannot sufficiently express my
appreciation Of the magnificent greet
ing that you have given me today.

JOHN PAUL JONES.
Steel Engravings Mostly Caricatures of
the Famous Commodore.

There has been placed on exhibition in the
large reception room of the Secretary OF
the Navy a small collection of steel engrav-
ings of Commodore John Paul Jones. Many
of these plates are over a hundred years
DID, and while some are complimentary to
the great American captain, the ma
jority are decidedly otherwise. 1t is believ-
ed that most of these engravings were
made in France and England soon after the
glorious victory of the Bon Homme Rich
ard over the British sloop-of-war Scraps
They are mainly caricatures and depict the
great sea captain in ridiculous attitudes
In one of the pictures he is represented
as a regular pirate of the old Spanish main
type, with swarthy complexion and long
black hair and beard streaming in the
breeze. He carries cutlass in one hand
and a big pistol In the other There are
several more pistols in his belt and he is
surrounded by small cannons belching forth
fire and smoke His costume includes a
leather apron, which is prominently dis
PLAYED the piratical symbol of skull and
cross-bones. To add TO the picture the ship
Is on fire.
In another engraving Commodore Jones is
depicted as a Chinese pirate engaged in the
mild-mannered occupation of scuttling a
ship. He has the usual equipment of pis-
tolls and cannon and battle-axes, and is sur
rounded by breastwork of his many VIC
tins.
Another engraving represents him in the
uniform of a Russian admiral and two or
three show him IN the uniform of the
United States navy. There is a general sim
ilarity in the countenances in all the en-
cravings, indicating that they probably

The terrorsts have recently renewed
their warnings against General IrepoH

constantly in receipt of letters signed by

pains TO say that safeguards Will avail

time they tell him he need not be afrald
