At a monster open air demonstra-
ton. in which stereopticon reproduc-

his life and work formed a novel fea-
ture. General Booth made his final adj
dress from the steps of the city hall.
He was surrounded by hundreds of
uniformed followers. His voice was
somewhat husky. showing the strain.
of his many recent speeches.
Thousands of adherents and friends

and torches. paraded from the army

When a near approach to order was
secured General Booth addressed the
assemblage. three megaphones stand

unison.
His Farewell to America.
After the meeting General Booth
dictated the following farewell to the
people of America:
Farewell. America; you have given
me a right generous welcome. Or

spirit of that relationship. and in that
spirit I shall think of you and pray
for you as I go forward on the path
toward which the reckoning finger Of
duty invites.
My visit has been busy, and. I hope
useful one. 1t has served, among
other things, 10 reveal TO me the fact
of the improved understanding as to
the object and methods of the army,
together with the existence of a high
er appreciation of its value and infiu-
ence. Many of your leaders in thought,
commerce, politics, and religion have
said so in a most emphatic manner at
the great gatherings which I have been
privileged to hold
Grateful for sympathy.
The press, which if anywhere under
the sun, is here, true exponent OF the
mind of the nation, has also said so in
unmistakable terms. In fact, your
confidence and sympathy have made
me hope for your hearty cooperation

which I have consecFated my life. That
program contains the highest happi-
ness and the truest welfare in this
world and the world TO come. not only

PLAT FACES AN INQUIRY
Head of Express Company
To Answer Stock
holders Assertions.

Albany, n. Y. Nov 9.-The investi-
cation of the United States Express
company by the state public service
commission. which begins Monday. is
expected to bring out some sensational
developments.
United States Senator Thomas c.
written to the commission for parti-
culars and for a copy of the complaint.
Stockholders Bring Action.
The petition for the hearing is made
by A. L. Banister of New York and
Samuel s. HIATT of Albany, representing
a committee of stockholders of the ex-
press company, and it requests the
commission to consider the ACCESSIBILITY
of a change of law relating to JOINT
stock associations conducting the bust
ness of common carriers so as to re-
quire such associations to elect at
least one-fourth of their directors an
nually. and that a number less than a
majority of the ASSOCIATION be en-
powered to demand a meeting of the
Shareholders for the purpose of elect
ing directors. -
Claim Company is "COntrOIIed."
The present application to the com
mission is the outgrowth of the fight
on the part of some of the stockhold-
ers against the present board of d.
rectors.
With this petition are filed articles
of agreement and association of the
United States Express company, which
il is claimed in the petition. is con
trolled by the American and Adams
Express companies.

Manila Rope.

A Manila rope, properly laid and
fabricated, is as strong. weight for
weight, as steel; that is, a steel rod
weighs about eight times as much as
a manila rope of the same diameter.
and has about eight times the
strength, the strengths being proper
toned to the weights. When used
for transmission purposes it has been
found that a manila rope one inch In
diameter is equal to a double leather
belt two five-eights inches In width.
so that three such ropes are very
nearly equal to an eight-inch double
belt. A two-inch rope, says Cas-.
sier's Magazine, will transmit as much
power as a ten-inch leather belt,
while the loss from stiffness and
creep are estimated as only about one
half with the rope what they are with
the belt.

DRUGS In Food.

"The gravy from roast beef is near

ton in the relief of anaemia, and con-
sequently also of the heart discomfort
accompanying it." In addition, how
ever. to red meat, many vegetables, it
must be remembered, are able to con-

larly true of the beet, yellow turnip,

BERLIN RIPPER TALKS
Paul Minnow, Epileptic,
Confesses Butchering Lit
tie Girls on Streets.

Berlin. Nov 9.-The mystery sur
rounding the butchery last summer of
three little girls by a Jack the Rip
per" has been solved. Paul Minow.
% years old, an epileptic has confessed
the crimes which. he says. he COM
mitted while in a rage following a
rebuke by his mother for laziness.
For months Minow. who was a print
er's apprentice. has been locked up
in an asylum for the insane at Herr
berge. Recently he began to talk in
a rambling way of the murders. The
authorities encouraged him to talk and
in an artless way he related how he
had been tainted by his mother and
sister for his lack of energy.
Kills Babies to Vent Rage.
This so angered him that he went
out into the street and vented his
feelings by stabbing three little girls.
He said he wandered through the
streets for days, later returning to
his home. His relatives then sent him
to the asylum. 1t does not appear that
they knew of his awful murders.
Minow's crimes were committed on
July Of last, in the early afternoon,
He enticed little girls into doorways
and then stabbed them In the abdo-
men. The oldest of his victims was :
years of age.
Find Note; LynchinE Near.
The bodies of all three were found

TAFT TO AVOID KINGS
Pointed Out at Washington
His European Mission
is Not Diplomatic.

Washington. D. c.. Nov $50 much
has come from foreign capitals con-
corning Secretary Taft's tour Of the
world that officials of the war and
state departments are becoming con-
fused concerning the schedule. 1t is
not believed. however. that the secre-
tary of war has sought an interview
with any European ruler. It has been
stated officially and reiterated that Mr..
Taft is not on a diplomatic mission to
Europe and has no official business to
transact for the United States at any
European capital
There is no Disgusting the fact that
officials of the state department would
prefer that Secretary Taft's trip
through Europe should be made with
out his engaging in any court func-
lions. There is no disposition on the
part of President Roosevelt of Secre-
tary Root. according to information
obtainable on this subject, to inter
fere in any manner with Mr.. Taft's
wishes, but it IS felt that he cannot
visit one court and not others with
out jeOpardizing the friendly relations
of the United States with those govern
ments. AS he cannot Sc them all, it Is
believed here that he will not visit any
unless 1t be the. car of Russo.
Kaiser Plans Seeing Taft.
Berlin, Nov emperor William
will see Secretary Taft on the Isle of
Wight during the formers visit in
England. No official arrangements,
however, have been made for the en-
tertainment of Mr.. Taft there. The
emperor merely expressed the pleasure
it would give him to receive Mr.. Taft,
and following his habit, he probably
will ask Mr.. Taft to luncheon or
dinner.
So much has been said about Mr..
Taft planning to see the emperor that
some of the other governments seem
ingly have become curious in regard to
whether anything is intended by the
step taken by the American govern
ment. Ambassadors Bryce and Jus
serand, it is asserted here, already have
made inquiries on the subject at the
state department al Washington, and
1t is further asserted that there is a
feeling at the foreign offices Of London
and Paris that Mr. Taft would be
sighting King Edward and President
Fallieres If he did not ask to see them
on his way home or If he stopped only
at st. Petersburg and Berlin while on
his way back to the United States.

Twenty-fOur tons OF Yellow Treasure.
There was in all about twenty-four
tons of gold stored in 334 steel bound
wooden cases. Purser Joseph Ian
caster checked each case as 1t was
brought out of the vault and refused
to talk to anybody until every bit Of
the gold had been put ashore
Detectives and men in uniform were
on hand, but their services were not
really required, as nobody attempted
to carry away any Of the cases, which
weighed more than any ordinary man
could negotiate successfully, even on
a short journey.
Five double and two single trucks
took the gold to its destination in the
city and the transfer of the treasure
to the subtreasury was completed be-
fore o'clock this evening Every
load was in charge of two subtreas-
ury men and there was not the leas
confusion or delay In transferring It,
counting the coin and crediting it to
the consignees.
