HEARST'S SPEECH
IN ALBANY

The feature OF last nights great
mass meeting at Harmanus Bleeckcr
hall. aside from the magnitude of the
numbers whom II attracted. was the
interest OF the people assembled In
the personality OF Mr.. Hearst. No one
who was present. whether friend or
foe. could longer doubt the force,
commanding ability and genuine lea
dership of the democratic candidate
for governor In the movement which
he leads.
Indeed. We have seen few such
demonstrations In our time OF per-
sonal command and sway over masses
OF the people as now appears to exist
on the part OF Mr.. Hearst I'm the
closing days OF this memorable can
vass.
We are told by n representative of
n newspaper which is bitterly opposed
to the democratic candidate. who
has been touring the state with Mr..
Hearst. that the Albany meeting was
but fair sample of the kind OF
meetings he has been having in
nearly all parts of this state. II
this be true. all political observers
must draw their own conclusions as
to what II will mean on election day.
But they must be satisfied that II
numbers, apparent devotion, and
earnestness mean anything at all In
the way OF results on election day,
the probabilities at this time strong
ly point to the election OF the DEM
cratic ticket.-N. Y. Press.

THAT BOY OF YOURS
FIRST IN THE SERIES OF Lee
TURES BY DIR. TAYLOR
or BOSTON.
SCIENTIFIC TEMPERANCE.

The first OF the series of Ave cit
izenship lectures known as the Tay.
lor lectures and given by Rev. IL. o.
Taylor, A. M. h. d.. of Boston, was
delivered at the Presbyterian church
last night TO n small but very ap.
precitive audience. After prayer
and song services. the speaker was
dtroduCed Is Rev s. H. Thompson,
who referred to the deep impressions
made by DR.. Taylor's lectures I'm other
cities.
The lecture last night on "That
Boy OF Yours" was preliminary to
the others that are to follow on
scientific temperance.
All OF the lectures are grouped
around one theme, American citizen.
ship.
Last nights lectures treated OF citi.
zenship from the standpoint OF home
life. Doctor Taylor compared our
national life TO a great tree, the
young men corresponding to the
buds. His inquiry. he said, was to
determine whether or not the ma.
tional tree las begun to decay at the
top. H eaid that bad literature
tobacco and intoxicants were des.
troying the citizens OF the future.
The lecturer made telling argu-
ment against the use of alcahol and
tobacco and in a brilliant manner
pictured its III effects. He used statls-
tics to prove his assertions and han
deled his subject In mastery man
mel.
He then took up the question oi
obedience and respect for law in tho
average home I'm this country.
You don't make your boy mind.
nc said, "1f you think you do. ask
your neighbor. If you do not make
your boy mind home law he viii
never obey any other. II you Will
show me boy In your public schools
who is In the habit Of making 2
rumpus. I will show you boy who
has had no experience In obeylng the
law OF his home"
Doctor Taylor then took up the
average father and mother In their
treatment of their offspring. and with
few illustrative anecdotes, anus
ingly told, showed the importance OF
obedience TO law, which should al
ways be accompanied by protection
by law.
Tonight he will deliver the second
lecture at the Presbyterian church
The subject will be Microbes and Men
or the Chemistry OF Alcohol No ad-
mission fee IL charged.
n our people wish TO hear sound
logic. blended with an oratory inten-
slvely interesting they should turn
out tonight and hear this distinguish.
cd divine on the vital subject OF
American Citizenship.

THE FEEBLE.
SENILE WOMAN

Not all the reporters at the Eddy
interview saw with the same eyes.
The representative of the Boston
Globe has the following to say of
the meeting. which lasted less than
"a minute:--
The interviewers saw I'm Mrs. Eddy
an emaciated. tottering old woman.
who had to cling to the door lamb to
keep herself In an upright position
during the brief time she looked into
the front parlor. where her callers
were assembled. and they saw a wo-
man whose voice was stained and
wavering. and whose dimmed eyes,
about which there were deep circles
and wrinkles. wander over the as
semblage without giving evidence OF
distinguishing one person from an
other.
Mrs. Eddy's face is thin and drawn
and wrinkled, and her voice. which
sounds cracked and querulous, was
high-pitched, as though 10 was an
effort for her to talk at all. Her
cheeks. which are sunken, made
prominent her nose. which must al
ways have been conspicuous fea-
ture. Mrs. Eddy's cheeks showed
unnaturally red. and there were evil
dence OF power having been literally
applied to her whole face. Her eyes
are noticeably deep-sunken. Her
hands, with which she supported her
self by grasping the sides OF the
doorway, were small and thin, but
as they were encassed in close-fltting
white kid gloves, the condition OF
the hands could not be distinctly
made out.
The spectacle presented by Mrs.
Eddy in her apparent weakness OF
body. inability to hear questions put
to her In an ordinary tone of voice.
and her apparently complete depen-
dence on Fry and the others about
her, was pitiable. and aroused the
sympathetic feelings OF those who
saw her, regardless OF what they
think about her or her works. To
the minds OF the correspondents pre-
sent It was the spectacle of feeble.
senile woman being shown of for a
purpose and II looked to them as
though her feeble strength was be-
Ing 'overtasked brief though her ap,
pearance before them was.

HOME RULES
FOR FILIPINOS.
PRESIDENT PLANNING no RE-
DEEM THE PROMISE WHICH
FALLS DUE IN MARCH.
1907.

The president is preparing to re-
ieem his promise made to the Philip
pine people through Secretary Taft
hat they shall have parliament of
their own, conditioned upon their
good behavior for term OF two
ears. and II is understood that Sec
retary Taft himself Will proceed ia
the Philippines next spring to wit
ness the installation OF the new form
OF representative government says q
Washington dispatch. On March 81,
1905, the Philippines census was
published. and consequently In two
years from that date, March 81. 1907
under the terms of the act OF Con-
gress. the president will direct the
Philippine commission to call a gen
cral election for the choice OF dele
gates to what will be known as the
Philippine ssambly. This body Is to
take over all Legislative powers here
toforc exercised by the Philippine
commission in all that part OF the
archipelago not inhabited by Moros
or non Christian tribes.
As this dat . draws near the Phillip
pine people are showing signs OF
agitation, and to the officials at
Washington IL Is evident that they
are expecting some benefits that can
not at once be had. For instance, the
assembly OF provisional governors
recently I'm session In Manila with the
view to arranging the preliminaries
for the meeting OF the Philippine
Assembly is reported to have recon-
mended that the suffrage be widely
extended. II is pointed out at Wash
ington that this is not possible, for
the reason that the act OF Congress
under which the Assembly will be
convened expressly states the quail.
fications OF voters. These I'm brief
are that the voter must be at least
23 years Of age, which was the Span.
ish requirement; must be able to
read and write either Spanish OF
English, or must own certain small
amount OF property or must have
been in the past an oaiceholder un.
der the Spanish government. These
qualifications were framed upon tho
old Spanish practice. and no Philip.
pine Assembly can change them
The new Assembly or Legislature
Will consist OF two houses. to be
known as the Philippine Commission
and the Philippine Assembly, the
latter TO consist OF not less than 80
nor more than 100 members II II
probable that the present commission
will be merged in the upper house.

THIN DOCUMENT n PRACI1OAErl
FINISHED AND WILL DEAL s
WITH MANY AlATTnRo
OF THE UTMOST m
IMPORTANCE.

Washington. Nov. 1.-The Pre-
dent has practically finished the pre-
aration Of HIS annual message whot
goes to congress next month. n
President talked over the mesoad
with the members OF the cabinet a.
Others and It II possible 20 give "a
this time general and fairly 60
curate forecast OF Its contents.
The menace of public wealth WIN
probably occupy more space than an4|
other single subject The Presidentsn
conviction as to the necessity Of an
inheritance tax has grown stronger
every day since he first broached the
subject several years ago and he will|
now take more advanced stand than
he has heretofore advocated. His BEL
lief In the wisdom OF centralisatton'
has become one OF his strongest hob.
bies. Hc Is OF tho opinion that the
Federal government should have su-|
pervision not only over all lines Of
transportation and communication,
but over corporations controlling the.
necessities OF life. He believes that,
tho speedy acceptance OF this doctrine
by tho great corporations themselves
will save thom untold trouble and
possibilities OF annihilation In the
future. One OF the greatest dangers
OF the present age he argues, IL the
growing discomfort of the masses
against the classes and the sooner
the public is convinced that the great
so-called trusts are conducted ~
much in the interest OF the people 90
n the interests of the coupon clippers
the sooner will the possibility Of
revolution be removed.
The President believes there should
limit on great fortunes. In his
opinion piiing OF millions on top of
millions In banks IL not a healthy
way to increase wealth and where
these vast fortunes descend to In
divduals who never worked for dol
lar of their colossal inheritances. the
effect is distinctly bad.
The President also said ne was an
ardent advocate OF an income tax.
but is not quite ready to press this
matter upon congress.
In the message the President will
again pay his respects TO the rail-
roads and Will urge additional legis-
ltion to reinforce the rate law passed
last winter.
The situation I'm Cuba, resulting
as Is known, will give the President
n good chance for congratulation. He
will take occasion In this connection
TO again disclaim any one intention
on the part OF the administration to
acquire a permanent foothold upon
the island. He will again urge the
passing OF the Santo Domingo treaty.
The need for more elastic currency
will be dwelt upon in the message
and congress will be asked to flx the
remedy.
The message in addition to the
more important questions referred
to, will devote the usual space to
survey OF the governments activities
I'm all lines OF work. The abundant
prosperity, cordial relations with all
peoples OF the earth and steady up
lift toward higher things will be
mentioned by the President as a
cause for congratulation and increas-
cd endeavor.

SEND MILLIONS ABROAD
Records Show That Immigrants Send
Earnings to Home Banks.

Washington, Aug. 1.-Millions of dol
lars in American gold is being boarded
annually in the banks of Italy by tenn
pOrary Italian residents of the United
States. This is the news that has Just
reached the government, along with a
statement from the general commits
sioner of immigration at Rome that the
total immigration to the states from
1aiy in the year 1866 approached the
500 900 mark.
The idea of most italian immigrants.
says the immigration commissioners, is
to accumulate something like a fortune
in the states and return with it to Ialy.
The intimacy of the home connection is
shown by the exhibit of the Bank of
Naples. which, having advertised that
sort of business as it's speciality, has
more than $4,000 accounts opened by
Italian emiSrants in the United States
and placed to their credit during the
fiscal year just closed more than $500
000
During the same period Italians in
Argentina sent to this single bank
SS2s, 600 and S425.000 came from Brazil.
The total receipts from such sources
at Naples bank We're 100000 above
those of the year before. And that is
only one bank among dozens in Italy.
