MRS ROOSEVELT RETURNS TO
THE CAPITAL.
Features Of Her Stay in Atlanta-Re-
cent Hospitalities-Personal
Notes.

Mrs. Roosevelt was met at the train yes
terday in Atlanta by delegation of ladies.
headed by Mrs. Terrell. wife of Gov. Ter
rell, and Mrs. Clark Howell, who, after the
brief introductions at the station, escorted
her to the governors mansion. There a
hundred or more of Atlanta's leading So
ciety ladies had gathered to extend their
welcome.
The passing of the great parade in honor
of the President was watched from the We
randas of the mansion. Joel Chandler Har-
ris. Uncle Remus,'' was the guest spe-
cially invited to meet the Presidents wife
at her request.
Mrs. Roosevelt's stay was cut short by
the early departure of her train for Wash
lngton at noon She spent the last half
hour of her visit in a drive to Brookwood
a suburb, where the train was stopped for
her. The drive took her along Peachtree
street soon after the parade had passed
and she was given the opportunity to see
the elaborate decorations that had been
made in honor of the day.
Mrs. Roosevelt, accompanied by John g.
elliott, commissioner of the interior for

1t is question if unity was not
sacrificed in the attempt to get union
between two churches of Randolph which
voted the other evening to come togeth-
er. The churches, the Christian and the
Congregational, have, according to form,
united. But the action came about by
rather dubious means. Much opposition
to the plan developed, and the result
was brought about only by strenuous
efforts. At the meeting held for the
purpose motion to unite failed Of pass
age just BY one vote through several
ballots. Finally the one vote was Sc
cured, and the motion prevailed. SO,
in the face Of very strong opposition,
the churches win come together. II the
warning factions can now lie brought
together, the union will have been well
made, but if there are TO be large mum.
bers Of disgruntled ones, the union would
have better been left mmade.

The Presidents Triumph.

1t is a great service which the presi-
dent has rendered to his country. Signs
and tokens multiply Of d better under
standing between the South and the
North. Not the least result accomplished
by the war with Spain was the quick
ened recognition that we are one nation
despite many divergent interests. But
the personal touch supplied by the pres
ident's tour bids fair to be the alembic
in which all the iarring elements viii
be fused. Like every other man of strong
viii and vivid feeling, Mr.. Roosevelt
has made mistakes ana provoked criti-
cism. But to him at least the old
saying applies His heart is in the
right place. He may arouse antagonism
now and then by indiseretions as most
men who amount to anything have done
-but his true taetfulness lies in his
transparent honesty and sincerity. Peo-
Pile trust him; therefore they love him.
For there can be no genuine love with
out trust. Whatever he does hereafter,
whether it pleases or displeases North
or South or East or West, his country
men viii understand that perfect single
ness Of conviction inspired it. No man
can become the idol OF the multitude on
any other condition, Providence, K. r,

FArAL HALLOWEEN PRANK.
Ten Year-0ld Boy Killed at stockbridge,
Mass, Last Night.

Stockbridge, Mass, Nov. i.-Walter
Webster, 10 years old, is dead as the
result Of a bullet wound in the neck,
and William Jones, l9-year-old colored
youth, is under arrest in connection with
the case. Jones has admitted to the
police that he fired the fatal shot, but
claims that he did not intend to do any
harm and did not know that anybody
had been shot until the officers came for
him.
The shooting took place on Church
street in thickly settled portion of the
town at $3.50 o'clock last night, and was
the outcome Of the Halloween pranks
OF a crowd Of boys, among whom was
Webster. From information gathered
by the local police it appears that the
boys had been roaming around town
ringing doorbells and pelting passers
with fruit and vegetables.
Jones, accompanied by another boy
and two girls, all colored, was driving
down Church street, and as he passed
the crowd of boys he and his com
panions were the targets for volley
OF apples. In order to Brighten the
boys, Jones says, he drew his revolver
and fired one shot into the crowd. The
bullet struck Webster in the neck and
he fell to the sidewalk, dying in few
minutes.

CAKES GULLIBlLITY.

Ii there is one thing standing out more
prominently than another in the state
prison investigation now being held at
Bellows Falls, it is the extreme gull
bility Of the former superintendent, f..
w. Cakes, or his seeming gullibility.
We are inclined to give him the benefit
OF whatever doubt may arise and say
shat he really was too credulous for the
very responsible position which he held.
Having charge Of a crowd Of hardened
criminals is not like conducting Sum
day school class. There Is bound to be
more or less deception practiced by the
prisoners, and, as ii appears from the
testimony, there was also considerable
duplicity on the part Of the employees
themselves. In order to cope with such
4 situation, man capable Of suspicion
at least is required. That quality former
Superintendent Cakes seems to have
lacked and for that reason, actions took
place under his stewardship which are
now bringing disgrace on this common
wealth. Here fer Illustration is the
testimony Of one witness yesterday: AS
soon as Il knew of conditions at the
prison | went to Superintendent Cakes.
He laughed at me and said that such
things could not exist in the prison.
lie said that he would know if such
things were true. Superintendent Cakes
told ME had been misinformed, and
said the story was false"
III Superintendent Cakes had not been Of
a child's trnstful disposition he never
would have put q sixteen year-old girl
ii charge Of such a woman as the con-
yicted murderess, Mary Rogers, to be
wound about the finger Of the iniquitous
woman whose infamous actions have
startled the state for the past few years.
The results Of that association are now
being brought to light. And then if
more evidence Of the disqualifying gull
bility Of Mr.. Cakes is needed, let Us
quite from his own testimony on the
sand yesterday:
