PRESENTS TO BRIDE.
Some Donors "Pished' for In

royal birth ever have been the
recipients of so many and such
valuable gifts as were received by
Miss Roosevelt, The bride and
the members of her family we're
almost overwhelmed by the num-
Der and character of the presents.

desire that the wedding, so far as
the presents were concerned,
SHOULD be stripped of official char
acter.
1t was the desire of the Presi-

foreign governments; that presents
of such nature properly could be
received only from the executives
of the governments through the
Ambassadors or Ministers accred-
tied to the American Government.
The only present therefore, which
comes directly from a nation is
that of the Cuban republic.
Two game ROSTERS and a fat
Der shire pig came from the rural
admirers of Miss Alice.
Presents came from people of
whom she never had heard, who
followed the gifts immediately
with requests for invitations to the
wedding. Those sent with the
idea thereby of obtaining an invi-
tation to the wedding were re-
turned instantly.
Many of the gifts are almost
regal in their splendor. The gifts
numbered nearly thousand.
There are necklaces, brooches,
rings. bracelets, fans of unique
designs, clocks, watches, vaces,
loving-cups, punch-bowls. pictures,
rare laCes, exquisite silks and en-
broideries from the Orient, deli
cate carvings in ivory and the pre-
cious metals, hand ONE rugs and

1 NECRO'S ADVICE FOR
 PREVENTING MOBS
He Thinks Resistance Must Be Made In Order to Discourage the
 Formation of Mobs.

Washington, October S.-(Special)-An sermons from local negro pulpits yester- day were largely devoted to the Atlanta riot. The Rev. Francis J. Grimke had this to say:
 Continue to do your utmost to de- velop yourselves along all lines material. intellectual, moral spiritual; be discreet be cautious; be very careful of what you say or do. Keep the peace; do all you can to preserve it = be at the same time pre- pared to defend yourselves if necessary.
 'The duty of the negro is to make it as perious as possible for the mob. When the mob understands and understands from actual experience that there are blows to take as well as blows to give, it won't be quick to organize The only thing which these towards respect who organize mobs is force, brute force. The only thing which makes them think twice before acting is the fear of being injured. There is but one way to deal with a mob. and that Is to shoot 1t to death, to riddle 1t with bullets dynamite it, and the negro will be doing himself and the whole south a service by being prepared to make it as perilous as possible for the mObs,"

TOO MANY OFFICERS
 ON ABSENCE LEAVE
General McCaskey Thinks This Is the Cause of Many Desertions
 Among Enlisted Men.

Washington, October S.-Strong con- plaint against absence of men from their commands of company officers is made by Brigadier General McCaskey, commanding the department of Texas, in his annual report. He says the situation in this respect is getting worse, and he believes that if more officers of the grade of cap tair were present with their companies, contentment among enlisted men would exist, and fewer assertions would oc- cur.
 He also recommends 20 per cent in was In men of their first year of enlist men, and corresponding increase of the allowance for quarters The abandon ment of the present system of division commanders iE favor of the old system of departmental commanders, would re- suit in ap improvement fin an admins tration, is the opinion of General McCas- key. Because 2S1a per cent of the total number of assertions in the department was in rnen of their first yea rof enlist lnent, the military secretary, Major Fin ley recommends that first enlistments be made for one year only; the second for two years and all succeeding enlist ments for three years.
