New York. May 3l.-In a stirring adj
dress delivered at the unwilling OF a
big statue of General Henry W. Slocum
in Brooklyn. President Roosevelt paid
a splendid tribute to the men who COM
posed the northern armies. but did not
forget those Of the southern hosts.
Most notable in his speech was an ex-
preston of his hope that as the nation
increased in strength there would come
a corresponding increase in its sense OF
responsibility, which would prevent Its
people from either injuring or insult
ing other people: his declaration that
the surest way for a nation to invite
disaster is to be opulent, aggressive
and unarmed.
Significant in the light Of recent
events. was his assertion that III our
navy is good enough We have a long
career of peace and prosperity before
us. and the only likelihood OF trouble
ever coming to us as a nation will arise
II we let our navy become too small or
inefficient. A first class navy, first
class in point of size, above all first
class I'm point of efficiency and the In
dividual unit, as units in combination
is the surest and cheapest guarantee or
peace. | should think that any man
looking at what is happening and has
happened abroad and in our own his
tory during the past few years, must
indeed be blind if he cannot read the
lesson clearly"
The crowds burst into cheers as
General Daniel E. Sickles, who fought
with General Slocum, walked on
crutches toward the unwilling plat
form. The general had to be lifted al
most bodily up the steps.
The exercises at the unwilling began
with an invocation by Right Rev.
Frederick Burgess, Episcopal bishop OF
Long Island.
The statue Of General Slocum was
unveiled by Gertrude Slocum, the IT.
year-old granddaughter Of General Slo-
cum, amid the cheers of thousands. A
salute of 10 guns was fired as Miss Slo'
cum drew aside the flags which yelled
the statue.
The presentation Of the statue was
made by Park Commissioner Michael
]. Kennedy, who offered the statue to
Mayor Mcclellan. Speeches were then
made by Mayor Mcclellan and the pres

A Soap Bubble Party Furnishes Lots
Of Amusement.
For little folks a soap bubble par
ty is always a great success, provid-
ed plenty of big gingham aprons are
at hand to prevent injury to the
best frocks and Sunday go to meet
ing neckties. AT soap bubble party
a bowl of suds and a clay pipe are
given to each child, and the contest
begins by each child in turn blowing
a bubble. The child who blows the
largest bubble of all the greatest
number of times out Of fifteen trials
wins the prize.
The art of bubble blowing lies
principally in blowing steadily and
surely, but not too hard, and then
gently detaching the bubble from
the pipe, and toward the end Of the
trial, as the children grow to under
stand better how to handle the pipes,
beautiful balls of rainbow hue are
the result.
A plain yellow soap is the best,
and a few drops of glycerin added
to the suds will add to the brilliancy
and beauty of the prismatic tint.

For stout Women.

Most large women think it best to
stick closely to black, and while this is
wise judgment they must not forget
that there is black and black. A shiny,
lustrous black, such as satin, messaline
and the rest (and in wooden goods mo-
hair. is just as enlarging in effect as
light colors.
Crepe de chene. broadcloth Of a dull
finish wool grapes and materials Of a
like nature are the only ones that re-
duce the apparent size. In fact, these
goods. even in light colors, will not
make one look any larger than a black
that is shiny and reflects the light
The keynote of the materials used by
stout women must be flatness, in
weave as we'll as color. That is the
real secret Of dressing to appear small.
