Ice Famine Prevails.

Private faIni lies in New Hampton
that have been using ice and have
come to regard it as a necessity are
now up against the real thing of going
without ice for the remainder of the
season. The last deliveries to private
families were made last FRIDAY morn
ing and yesterday and Sunday the
absence of the ice was conspicuous
in the soft butter. etc. 1t is an I'M
fortunate situation but Mr.. Deal says
he cannot complete the season with
his present stock and cannot afford to
ship ice in.-New HAMPTON Tribune.

Roosevelt in Raleigh.
Raleigh, N. c., Special.-It was
Roosevelt Day in Raleigh and what
is said to be the greatest number Of
people ever brought together in North
Carolina did the President honor
with true Tar Heel heartiness. This
city had to face a situation brought
about by the sudden death Of Cover
nor Glenn's brother, but did it clever
ly and well. The features of the
day were the wonderful weather, the
intense interest, good order and pa
triotism Of the crowds, the President s
personality, his attentions to Confed-
crate soldiers, and the holiness of
his speech, in which he declared for
complete governmental control Of
railways. His character and his talk
were such as to appeal to North Car
olinians as much as to any people on
earth, for they dearly love a man who
does things and they were swift and
sure to recognize in the President
one of their own kind Of men.
After a generous reception the
President was introduced to the ire
mendous crowd, an he said in part:
II glad here at the capital Of
North Carolina to have q chance to
greet so many Of the 0 N and daugh-
ters Of your great State. North Caro-
lina's part in our history has ever
been high and honorable. It was in

success has been extraordinary, and
all citizens of our common country
should feel joy and pride in it; for
any great deed done, or any fine
qualities shown, by one group of
Americans, of necessity reflects cred
it upon all Americans
While discussing at some length
the duties of citizenship, the Presi-
dent said:
"This government was formed
with as its basic idea the principle
Of treating each man on his worth
as a man, Of paying no heed to wheth-
er he was rich OF poor, OF heed to
his creed or social standing, but only
to the way in which he performed
his duty to himself, to his neighbor,
to the State. From this principle
we cannot afford to vary by so much
as a hands breadth. Many repub-
lies have risen in the past, and some
Of them flourished long, but sooner
or later they fell, and the cause most
potent in bringing about their fall

dastrial interests of this city. All
they have done in that way, Mr..
Jackson, means a genuine progress
for the race. [ am glad, as an
American, for what you are doing.
The standing Of the bank which in
this city is managed by colored men,
should give genuine pride to all the
c%olored men of this country. Its
record is an enviable one. You col
ored men who show in business life
both ability and a high order Of i'll
tegrity are real b%enefactors, not only
Of your race, but Of the whole coun-
try"
During Mr.. R~ooseyelt's progress
through the city he showed special in
terest in the school children lined up
to greet him, the whites on one side
of Broad street, the blacks on the
other. He was much amused at an
other point by the appearance Of a
huge stuffed bear, over which was the
sign: "Mr. Roosevelt, have a shot
the only one in Richmond.' He
laughed heartily at this. As the pres
idential party passed the Centenary
Method church, the chimes in the
tower of the church rang out My
Country, Ills Of Thee" and at an
other point a hundred and fifty girls
from the Womans' College, attired in
pure white, sang the same anthem.
Everywhere the party's progress was
through streets packed with we'll
dressed people, who cheered the Pres
ident enthusiastically, and showed in
every way their delight at seeing The
chief magistrate Of the country. AS
Mr.. Roosevelt left he said to a re
porter:
~ want the people Of Richmond to
know what a pleasure it has been fol-
me to have been with them, and &c

they grew to be governments in the
interest Of a class instead Of gov
ernments in the interest Of ALL
At the banquet in the evening,
speaking i%mpromptu, Mr.. Roosevelt
said:
"Gentlemen, I cannot sufficiently
express to you my deep appreciation
Of the way in which you hav greeted
me to-day. You cannot be nearly so
glad to see me as [ am to see you.
Let me say once more what I said
in my formal address. Think of the
good fortune that is ours. as a peo-
pie, in having, each of us, whether
we in u own persons or through
our ancestors wore the blue or the

adherence to right, as God gave to
each man to see the right, shown
alike by the men who wore the blue
and the men who wore the gray in
the great contest that was waged
from '61 to 49,"

in his pocket, and was just starting
to leave the Office when the two ne.

s.. -. -. RETAINS ITS LIFE

Iowa City, Aug. 2.-Judge O. A.
Byington, in the district court OF
Iowa county, yesterday handed down
his decision in the suit brought to end
the corporate existence of the Amana
society, the largest communistic Or
ganization in the world. His decis
ion was for the defendant society.

attorney at the demand of Mrs. Sarah
Wilson. 1t was fought throughout,
with a former judge of the district
court on each side as attorney, Judge

is The Community Of True lnspira-
ton" The Community emigrated to
the United States in 1S43, first set
Ting in New York but coming to this

Discussing the supposition that
commission of the powers might be
formed to exert pressure for the mod
ification of extortionate Japanese de-
mands, NJ. Neratoff the Spokesman Of
the foreign office, in an interview in
the Gazeta declares that however
much such proposal might be advan-
tageous to other powers, Russia new
er would be the mover of such pro-
ject, as it believes that all questions
connected with the settlement of the
war should be decided between the
two countries interested. China, he
said. had advanced no claim to COM
pensation for losses sustained on &C.
count of Manchuria being the theater
of war but no such claim would be
considered. Discussing the question
of credentials NJ Neratoff said NJ
Whites powers were greater than M.
White himself had stated and were
equivalent to a full power of attor-
ney, and that lin the conduct of the
negotiations the plenipotentiary will
appear for the absolute master of the
country which had confirmed the
trust in him."
Nevertheless. NJ. Witte, he said, had
been instructed as to maximum OF
concessions and if the Japanese de-
mands exceeded these, there would
be nothing to do but break Off the
negotiations.
