The Juvenile Score.

Wayne Summers and Lawrence
Pople went out to Winfield on an
embryo hunt yesterday. For juve.
nile effort they certainly out.classed
some of their worthy elders, having
killed two rabbits and a quail. For
their years and experience they sure
ly did well, but 1t is practice that
makes perfect in any calling, and
hunting is no exception to the rule.
With this as starter, what they
VIII be able to do when they shall
pass up the line for promotion and
become enrolled with their elders for
success, Is future, but they are able
to deliver the goods even II it is at a
large cost of ammunition burned.

towards the building of new church.
and by this sale the two organiza-

efforts until the necessary amount is
raised. or SO nearly to 1t at least, that
some OF the fullhanded, generous and

ENTERPRISE BANK
HAD DOUBLE BOOKS
DUPLICATE SET KEPT FROM DAY
OF FEDERAL EXAMINATION
UNTIL CONCERN WAS
CLOSED.

FtTTSBURG, Pa. Nov. 16.-If. the
lntest report concerning the Enter
prise National Bank is true, Receiver
Cunningham is III possession of du.
l.lcate set Of books kept by persons
in the bank between August % last,
wren the federal examination was
II ade and the day the bank closed its
doors. Tits information comes from
one Of the directors of the Enterprise
Bank who appeared surprised that no
mention had been previously made of
this incident In the examination of the
hanE's accounts.
The finding of the books was some
days subsequent to The suicide of the
cashier, and perusal of them has
been of invaluable assistance in trac.
ing 10 their source many of the fraud.
Glent financial transactions that wreck
cd the bank. 1t Is said Examiner Max.
ey carried with him to Washington a
copy of these accounts, and upon them
the federal government will base its
criminal suits.
Just who will be hit by the contem-
plated action is matter of conjecture.
The presumption is that Mr.. Clark,
the cashier, had not sole knowledge of
these books and was not the only per.
son WHO made entries in them. 1t is
brown that certain employees of the
Enterprise Bank have been compelled
to secure the receiver by giving judg-
ment notes and making real estate
transfers.
These employees obtained loans Eom
the bank that have not yet been met.
What the sums aggregate is not known
but Receiver Cunningham insisted that
the loans be insured by notes and
property transfers.

A LITTLE GIRL
Has Confessed to Robbina Father
o'kane's House of Warrington.

MANNINGToN, Nov. 1G-some
time between 4 and o'clock Monday
afternoon the residence of Rev.
Father o'Kane was entered and a
gold watch and chain. ribbons, beads
and sum OF money were stolen
from an upstairs room.
At the time the robbery occurred
Rev. Father O'Kane was in his study
and the housekeeper was in the
kitchen. e.
The person who. entered the house
left two tobacco advertising plaques
behind and from this clue Chief of
Police Diggs traced the robbery to
Minnie Lahue. 12-year-old girl who
lives in the neighborhood of the
Catholic church. y
Minnie has confessed and Squire
Chrlsty will hold her for the grand
jury. -
When shown the advertising plaques
Chief Giggs recalled having seen the
Lahue girl with the same or similar
plaques in her hand on the afternoon
the robbery was committed. Tues.
day he went to the public school
which Minnie attends and accused
her of the crime. At first she denied
1t and later said she had been to the
priests house Monday afternoon in
company with another girl. Finally
she owned up and said she gave the
watch to relative on Bufralo street.
This the relative denies.
About $50 were stolen from Rev.
Father oKane,s house several weeks
ago while services were being held In
the church.

That Fairmont will share in this
general prosperity goes without
saying. Being located as she is in

development, she stands prominent

| doubt been done to square themselves
at home. The whole Diplomatic
Corps is incensed because, when the
President left the Senate chamber to
go to the east front where the inaugu-
raj was to take place in the open air,
and in the presence of the people, he
took the arm of Chief Justice Fuller,
and was Immediately followed by the
Associate Justices, and the Ambassa-
doris had to follow these. The average
American citizen has nothing to say
against this method of procedure, but
in the etiquette of diplomacy these
Ambassadors are entitled to the same
Difference that would be shown their
sovereigns themselves. That a party
of American Judges walked ahead of
the Gear of Russia, the German
Emperor, the King of England, the
King of Italy and the Presidents of
Mexico and France, filled the great
foreign representatives with much
perturbation of mind.
Meanwhile the Judges are laughing
up their big sleeves. They remember
how year ago at reception at the
White House given in their honor,
they were told to step aside until the
whole diplomatic corps-under secre-
taries of legation as well-were greeted
by the President.
This was their opportunity, planned
or otherwise, they fell in line behind
their chief Executive, while the AM
bassadors followed. They had to
quietly submit or provoke implacable
offense by unceremonously leaving
the Capitol.

THEt INAUGURATION OF PRESl.
DENT ROOSEVELT.

Lowering clouds greeted the early
risers on the morning of the fourth OF
March 1905, but after slight rainfall,
the sun came forth and gladdened the
hearts of all. Just to show that March
was not to be trusted to give good
weather for the inaugural ceremonies,
a dense black cloud arose in the
northwest, and for awhile the crowds
gathered to witness the President
drive down Pennsylvania avenue to
the Capitol where he was to take the
oath of Office, expected a good drench-
ing. The tickle goddess refused to
shed tears, but blew a gale OF cold
wind, that soon became laden with
dust. Who cared for little wind,
however, when everything else was
nearly perfect.
Too much credit cannot be given to
the officers in charge of the parade, for
the smoothness with which it moved.
No procession on the streets of the
national capitol ever passed with such
clock-like regularity. There was
variety and color, no long waits, no
hurrying, everything moved smoothly,
with perfection of detail never sur
passed here.
The crowds along the gaily decked
streets were orderly, and not single
accident of any importance within the
city marred this record breaking
inaugural.
Everybody is delighted here except
the Ambassadors. They got another
shock, and much cabling has no

artistically draped with flags and
decorated with American Beauty roses.
Above the platform for the musicians
was an arch of gaily colored lights
thirteen stars representing the thirteen
original states. 1t had the effect of
the spread tail of monster peacock
AS usual the big fountain in the
center OF the court was one of the most
attractive spots. Myriads of colored
nights played over the grotto and the
whole effectwas bewilderingly beautiful.
1he gowns worn at the ball were
the handsomest ever seen unon
similar occasion. Only those near
the roped-off space for the promenade
OF the President and his wife were
able to get glimpse of them. and
when after a short, quick march to
the fountain and back, they retired
TO the reception room where again
they were detained by the congratula-
lions OF their friends.
III the. meantime nearly everyone
In the ball room stood perfectly still.
with uplIfted heads and eyes fixed
upon the Presidents box WAITING tho
appearance there of the President and
his wife.
Inc family were already there.
Miss Alice moved restlessly to and fro
gaily signalling out friends on the
moor or in the balcony. She is a
rather slender young lady with golden
Drown hair, and was handsomely
gowned in white satin, gold embroider-
ed cloth and lace. Cloth of gold
formed the deep pointed vest, and over
the satin and cloth underskirt there
fell full real net drapery heavily
embroidered with gold. From her
left shoulder there gracefully hung a
garland OF pink roses and tulle ribbon
woven with gold threads.
Mrs. Roosevelt's dress did not show
up very we'll from distance, but close
to 1t was marvel of beauty, for its
exquisite design of sweeping plumes
OF gold SO arranged as to form medal
mons, while graceful flight of birds
between, woven of the same color as
the foundation of the gown, relieved
the severity of the design. Threads
OF gold were woven here and there
through the silk, making the entire
effect that of a blue gown lighting up
with sheen of gold in it's sweeping
folds. The pointed bodice was finish
ed at the neck with the rare old rose
point lace which had adorned her
wedding gown.
Contrary to expectations, or at least
to fears, no colored people intruded
themselves upon the elect. Instead
they held their own inaugural ball at
Convention Hall. Several weeks ago
they decided upon this form of celebra-
ton. Their leaders determined that
it would be mistake to attempt to
attend the one at the Pension Office,
and that there might be trouble should
they do so.
so the little inaugural ball was
organized and proved a great success.
1t was well managed, it is said, and
many fine gowns were to be seen.
The concluding feature of the
ceremonies of the inaugural took
place Monday night, when brilliant
concert was given in the Pension
building by the Marine band and a
chorus of 500 voices.
