And THE DENIS
POLITICAL FOES AND
Personal FRIENDS
The Democrats Of Chicago Gave the
President q Great Old Time Last
Night Men, Who Had Fought Him,
Loudest I'm Cheers.

Chicago, MayiI.-Honoring and hon
ored by his political foes but personal
friends President Roosevelt was last
night the chief guest at magnificent
banquet rendered to him by the Iro-
quois Club, the leading democratic or
ganization of Illinois. Surrounded
by men, who have fought against him
in two national compaigns, who de-
precate many of his avowed policies
and who have frowned upon some Of
his political actions the president was
tonight cheered to the echo as he en-
tered and left the banquet hall, was ap-
plaudcd with enthusiasm throughout
| his address and at its close and was
given to understand that in his case
political differences were not a personal
issue.
The banquet which was from first to
last an ovation, was given entirely by
democrats to the leader OF their politi-
cal opponents and many of the kindly
personal references made by the speak
ers OF the evening, the majority OF
whom are Of Democratic faith, deeply
touched the president. In his manner
and words he evinced throughout the
evening a deep qualification at the
warmth OF his reception from Ell who
have fought him in political battles be-
fore now and are ready to fight him
again tomorrow if they considered it
necessary. Throughout the entire
evening, however, ran the dominant
note of admiration for the character
of and friendship for the man him
self =.
The great banquet hall OF the Audi
torum which has been the scene OF
many notable, gatherings, never held.
lone more representative than which asA
sembled there tonight to do honor to
President Roosevelt Given under the
auspices of democratic organization,
as it was, it was but natural that the
,great majority OF those present should
be members OF that party, but scattered
throughout the banquetting hall were
many men strong in republican doc
trines and high in the council of their
iparty in Illinois. At the presidents
table were Mayor Edward F. Dunno,
Charles F. Gunther, president OF the
Iroquois Club; James Hamilton Lewis,
who acted as toastmaster, Samuel
Alschuler, j. Murray Tuley, Sheriff
Thomas F. Barrett and other demo-
lcrats. OF the republicans there were
at the same table Governor Deneen,
Senator A. J. Hopkins, Judge C. G..
Kohlsaat, Judge K. w. Lands and a
dozen more. <&.a
Prior to the banquet itself. which
was set for seven o'clock the president
jheld an informal reception in the rooms
lof the Art Institute, adjoining the Au-
Iditorium on the north. He shook
hands with everyone of the 700 men
who were present at the function inn
imediately following the reception and
had pleasant word for all those who
lwere known to him personally or by
REPUTATION.
i Many notable speeches were made.

ANOTHER ACCOUNT OF
THE JEWISH MASSACRE

ST. Petersburg, May II--According to
private advices from Zhitonlir, the fruits
of the anti-Jewislf riots there are six
teen dead and over one hundred wound
ed, mostly Jews Martial law was pro-
claimed at Zf1itomr today The city is
filled with troops and order generally is
restored, though individual cases Of yio7

Eof rioting is feared Saturday evening
and Sunday next Stores. which have
been barricaded in fear of tttrnults, are
gradually rcopenirg, and ordinary life
iii the city is rcstining (. "a;
The same private advices bring news
|of d further afiti-Semitic outbreak in
Gostynin, in the province of Warsaw,
III which many Jews were injured and
houses pillaged. No fatalities, however,
are reported, but Jewish circles here
fear further developments, not only iii
Zhitoinjr ard Gostynin, but also ii, other
localities along the Polish frontier where
the Jewish element is numerous and the
anti Semitic sentiment strong.
The official account of the Zhitofnir
|turn,ilt assigns the origin Of the rioting
to an encounter between party Of
Jews who were boat riding and some
rouglls on tho bank OF The river. The
latter stoned the Jews, who defended
themselves with revnlvcrs, woundiug
several of the attacking party But not

Gross receipts the first week were
1857. Deduoting the rent already paid,
the company received 1857 cash with which
to pay running expenses OF about 800.
This meant a terrible cash loss. which the
angel had TO make good. To add to his
discomfort, the scenic artist and oostumers
heard that the thing was failure and
pressed him TO settle their accounts.
Meanwhile the manager tried to be
cheerful, and argued that the critics al
ways roast every new show, and that some
OF the greatest SUCCESSES of modern times
have been damned the first night. This
didn't console the poor angel. however,
who was just beginning to realize the
troubles Of putting on a comic opera
The second week business went up over
the $1,000 mark, and the angel was 80 en-
oourag ed that he paid the rent OF the theatre
for two more weeks in advance. This
