cred at Temperance and Labor
Day Celebration.


Wilkesbarre. Pa. Aug. 1.-THE
President Of the United States. who
came here yesterday and made an ad.
dress to the delegates attending the
annual convention Of the Catholic
Abstinence Union Of America and the
members Of the United Mine Workers
of America. was given . most enthusi-
astio reception. The greatest crowd
that tho city ever had within Its con-
fines was In the city and It IL esti.
mated tho visitors numbered upward
Of 100000.
Besides the President those who
spoke were Cardinal Gibbons. Mayor
Kirsendale of this city. John Mitchell.
president Of the miners" union. and
Rev. J. ]. Curran of this city. . dis
trict president OF the Catholic Absti.
ncnce union.
Tho President said:
II am particularly glad to speak to
this audience OF miners and their
wives and children, and especially to
speak under tho auspices OF this great
temperance society. In our country
the happiness Of all the rest OF our
people depends most Of all upon tho
welfare OF the wage worker and the
welfare OF the farmer. II We can se-
cure the welfare OF these two classes
We can be reasonably certain that
the community rs whole will pros.
per. And We must never forget that
the chief factor In securing the wei.
fare alike OF the wage WORKER and Of
the farmer. NJ of,cverybody else. must
be ,..e man himself.
"The only effective way to help any
body h, to help him help himself.
There are exceptional times when any
one Of us needs outAidc help. and then
Il should be given freely. but normally
each one OF US must depend upon his
own cxertions for his own success.
Something can be done by wise legis.
lation and by wise and honeAt admin.
is.rntion OF the laws: that II. somo.
thing can be done by our action taken
In our collective capacity through the
state and the nation.
Something moro can be dono by
combination and organization among
ourselves In our private capacities as
citizens. NO long as this combination
or organization In managed with Wis
uom ana integrity. Win tnhthtcnco
upon tho rights Of those benefited and
yet with Just regard for the rights Of
others.
But In tho last analysis tho factor
most influential In Determining any
mans success must ever be tho sum
Of that mans own qualities. Of his
knowledge. forcsishi. thrift and cour-
ugc. Whatever tends to increase his
Sclfrcspcct. whatever tends to help
him overcome the temptations with
which all OF us arc surrounded. II Of
bcncht not only to him but to tho
whole community.
No one society can do moro to help
tho wngc worker than such temper

addressing. II In of incaicniabic con.
sequence to tho man himself that ho
should be sober and temperate. and Il
In Of even more consequence to his
wife and Lie children; for Il In hard

tho sins OF the man are often visited
most heavily upon those whose wei.
fare should be his one special care.

RUSSIA AND JAPAN JOIN THE
UNITED STATES IN EFFORT
TO STOP eLoopsHEp.
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT PLANS
MOST PLEASANT REcEP-
TioN FOR THE NATIONS
GUESTS.
THE PEACE CONFERENCE WILL
BEGIN ON MONDAY AT PORTS
MOUTH, NEW HAMPSHIRE.

Z OYSTER BAY, N. Y, Aug. 6.-The
booming of fifty-nine guns in the
shadow Of Sycamore Hill to-day, gave
notice that the peace plenipotentiaries
of Russia and Japan had been brought
together by President Roosevelt.
Twenty-one Of these cannon notes
were for the President and nineteen
each were given the ENJOYS and their
epauletted, order-blazoned suites as
they climbed over the whitesides of
the Mayflower, where they met in
token of their resolve to end the
struggle of blood in Asia.
The meeting Of the peace envoys un.
der the .throats sof Uncle Sans can
non and surrounded by eloquent OBJ.
j ject lessons of our naval strength was
above all else triumph Of the PresI-
dent. He alone brought these men to-
gether and compelled them to pom.
der well over their preparedness for
future war, while they pledged them
selves to stop the battles of the pres
ent day.
The day was ideal for making peace.
Even the steel.coated warships float
ing at rest on the bosom of the
sound, just off the entrance to the
land locked harbor, looked more like
sleeping swans than engines of war.
The Dolphin, Mayfower and Gal
weston were all at anchor near the
Corinthian Seawanhaka Yacht Club
last night. The first named ships are
to take the plenipotentiaries to
Portsmouth es soon as the ceremo-
MES of the day are concluded, and the
Galveston is to act as their convoy
on the trip.
The Japanese plenipotentiaries ac-
-cording to the State Department pro-
gramme were the first to arrive this
forenoon, reaching Oyster Bay half
an hour or SO ahead of the Sylph
which brought Assistant Secretary Of
State Pierce who introduced the en-.
voys to the President in the May
flowers cabin. y
President Roosevelt left Sycamore
Hill at about 1880. The Mayfower's
launch was waiting for him at the
end Of the ]. West Roosevelt pier and
as he stepped aboard the little craft
one Of the jackies unrolled the big
blue Presidential flag and fastened it
to the staff. The speed made by the
little motor boat caused the. blue han.
ner to stand out like a board on the
