ROOSEVELT ON, WEALTH.

President Roosevelt delivered an ad
dress before the National Educational
Association at Ocean Grove, N. j., yes
terday, during which he said:
"Where altogether too much promi-
hence is given to the mere possession of
wealth, the country is under heavy
obligations to such a body as this, which
substitutes Tor the idea of accommodating
money the infinitely loftier, nonmaterial-
istic ideal of devotion to work worth do
ing simply for that works sake.
"fThe chief harm done by the men of
swollen fortune to the community is not
the harm that the demagogue is apt to
depict as springing from their actions,
but the fact chat their success sets up a
false standard
Though it is eminently right t. take
whatever steps are necessary 10 order to
prevent the exceptional members of mis-
(the rich mans class from doing harm,
it is wicked folly to let ourselves be
drawn into any attack upon the man of
wealth merely as such.
"The clamor of the demagogus. the
snobbery of the social columns Of the
newspapers which deal with The doiugs
of the wealthy and the misconduct of
those men of wealth who act with brutal
disregard of the rights of others =
spring from shortcomings which are
fundamentally the same; and one of
these shortcomings is the failure to have
proper ideals,
at is absolutely necessary to earn "a
certain amount OF money; it is a mans
first duty to those dependent upon him
for support; but after certain point has
been reached moneymaking can new er
stand on the same plane with other and
nobler forms of effort.

Perished in FLAMES.

Boston, July Sup to an early hour
this morning, the body Of Augustus Bos-
sett, Waterman for @. w. Leatherbee
Il Co., who is supposed to have per-
ished in the biz lumber yard fire on
Albany street, last night, had not been
recovered. The evidence points very
strongly to the theory that irebug's
brand started the fire which swept nearly
three acres of property in the lumber
district at the south end, resulting in
the death of Bossett and causing an ag-
gregate damage of abont 5000, 600.
Later in the day the body was found
by firemen searching the ruins. 1t was
badly charred and the features were
burned beyond recognition.

that bold attempt was made to wreck
the train at MiddletOwn. Frederick
county. IL miles south of Winchester,
Yesterday morning. According to the
version of several passengers, large rocks
had been placed in switch near the
station at Middletown, and, had the
train been running at full speed, a dis
astrous wreck could hardly have been
averted. As it was, The engineer saw
the obstruction in time to bring his train
to standstil Just as the wheels of the
engine crashed into the rocks, some of
which had been driven between the
rails and others piled on the track. An
early freight train had passed Middle
town a short time before the eastbOund
train reached there, and at that time the
track was clear. 1t is understood that
railroad detectives who have for several
months past been working on the series
of attempts to wreck trains on the Valley
division of the Baltimore and Ohio be-
tween Winchester and Kernstown, and
who several weeks ago arrested Oscar

culprit, have been ordered back to make

against the independent producers and

unconstitutional the law passed by the
legislature last winter aPpropriatlng
$40. 900 to build an independent re-
fnery at Peru. The oil refinery law was
considered one of the most direct blows
struck at the Standard Oil Company by
the last legislature, which adopted sew

WHEN Mr.. Chatham, of Atlantis,
the secretary OF the Southern Cotton As
ISOLATION, complained to the Agricultural
Department that figures relative to the
cotton crop we're manipulated to affect
the market the whole department, from
the secretary down, became indignant
and most vehemently denied the charge
But now the report of the secre; service
agents on the'cotton scandal in the de-
partment will cause a sensation. The
report shows that the charges of Mr.
Cheatham that figures relative to the cot
ton crop were not only manipulated for
the purpose of affecting the market at
different times, but that they we're given
out in advance by Edwin S. Holmes, as

CONVENTION OF

CONVENTION OF
ne is in session at
.Jert l.. Eeamy, of Balti-
one of the delegates, made an at
tack upon tobacco yesterday. He said :;
The very fumes of burning tobacco
are an incentive to immoral and per
nicious conduct. Tobacco smoke should
be Stunned, and those who must use the
weed should do all in their power to
keep the fumes from other people. A
smoke-laden room is more harmful by
far than the smokers imagine, and 1t in
spires a spirit in those who inhale the
smoke which is the doorstep to sin.
While the moral effect of tobacco
is questioned by some, the fact that it
DESTROYS numerous disease germs has
long been recognized, and, from a SAM
tary point of view, is regarded by many
as useful. The assertion that the fumes
of tobacco breed immortality and per-
niciousness may be questioned. The
aborigine in his pacific mood smokes the
pipe of peace, and some of the best
natured and moral among the white race
enjoy cigars or pipes.

Nicholas Going to Moscow.

According to a dispatch from St.
Petersburg Emperor Nicholas is going to
Moscow. In this connection the St.
Petersburg Listak prints rumor that
the Emperor has decided to transfer the
capital back to Moscow. Such trans
fer has been seriously agitated time after
time on the ground that the true heart
of Russia beats under the shadow of the
Holy Kremlin and not at the snowy
capital on the banks of the Neva. The
last general agitation for the transfer was
after the assassination of Alexander III.
The government is seriously trying to
calm the country by distributing every
where copies of Prince TroubetskOy's
Zemstvo address with the Emperor's re-
spouse. A million copies have been
printed and systematically spread by the
provincial governors in the cities and
country. Besides this the Emperor has
personally commissioned COunt1gnatief,
who is the head of the religious tolera-
ton commission, to tour the country,
address the people and pacify them in
his name.

MINISTER SAVED SITUATION
Gave the Congregation Something to Do While He Went Home for
 His Sermon.

The bishop of Llandaff at Newport mislald his robes and had to preach without them, and elsewhere a clergy mGn forgot that he had undertaken to conduct the service which was con- sequently dispensed with.
 But in neither case, says Modern Science, did the people suffer from clerical remissness like Scottish con gregation mentioned in his reminis- cences by Sir Archibald Geikie, who tells how the minister neglected to bring the manuscript of his sermon and had to make time to go home. mile of, and fetch it. Almost dis tracted, he gave out the one hundred and nineteenth Psalm, and directly the congregation began to sing the first of the 176 verses he rushed away to the manse, from which he by and by returned to the church breathless, find ing the clerk waiting uneasily.
 How are you getting on?" he gasped.
 "Oh, sir" said the clerk, they've got to the end of the eighty-fourth verse, an they're cheepin' like wee mice."
 The pious congregation was exhaust ed, but the situation was saved.
