ROOSEVELT AT WCKsBURG.
Admits He Made Mistake in His
Estimate ofJefferson Davis.

~~~@~~NsS ~ NSA~~A~Oe@ ~~NN~-~'
Vicksburg, Miss.-,-Gathered together
from all sections OF the prosperous and
fertile delta so, 900 or more Of the best
sons and daughters of Dixie, with un-
feigned Southern hospitality extended
to President Theodore Roosevelt here
this afternoon a reception, one of the
most genuinely cordial perhaps that he
has received in his illustrious career.
The chief magistrate vas insensible to
neither the warmth nor the sincerity
of his reception, but waved back greet
ing for greeting as the characteristic
Roosevelt smile oyerspread his coun-
tenance and told more plainly than
words his complete and perfect satis-
faction.
But he did more. Before the vast
assemblage that assembled in Court
House Square he expressed his over
flowing gratitude to the South for the
typically generous manner in which it
had received him in its open arms.
Without equiyocation he acknowledged
that he had learned something more
than bear and their habits in his two
recent trips to Dixie land. He had
found for himself a country overlooking.
with milk and honey, whose soil was
the richest, whose future the brightest
and whose children were in every way
worthy to rule over the literal land Of
promise.
Commencing the services which JEFF
ferson Davis had rendered to the coun-
try in the Mexican war, he referred to
the Confederate chieftain as not only
the favorite son of Mississippi, but Of
the entire South. He went further
along this line and in a private conyer-
sation expressed himselfthat as q young
man he had made mistake in his treat
ment Of Jefferson Davis.
Again when he declared that he
would violate his custom of not an
nouncing his intentions beforehand in
that he was heartily in accord with the
deep waterways movement, and that he
would recommend as strongly as he
knew how in his next message such
action by the congress as would NOT
only make the great lakes part Of the
gulf, but would protect the fertile allu-
vial bottoms of Mississippi from over
flow, the crowd felt as if the chief ruler
and chief servant had opened his heart
to it, ~ t5t.lE.A Ed

 Places Strictly Enforced.

Wilimantic, Jan. 13.-Sunday laws, requiring the closing of places of bus mess and work on Sunday were strict ly enforced here to-day the only places doing business being the drug stores, which were permitted to fill prescrip- tions. None of the newsdealers in town could be induced to handle the Sunday papers, which usually come here in large quantities. One dealer took his papers across the town line into Le- banon, and there disposed of some of them, but the majority received the papers in their stores, and let them remain there.
 Tonight mass meeting of protest was held under the auspices of the International Religious Liberty asso- citation, the principal speaker being the president of the organization, Rev. K, P. Russell, of Washington, ID. c.
 It is thought that the matter may come up before the common council tomorrow night for discussion.

COST KEEPING IN THE
 GOVERNMENT SERVICE
PRESIDENT MAKES PUBLIC 4 REPORT OF THE KEEP
 COMMISSION

System if PrOpevIy Devised and Oper-
 ated will Result In EcOnOmies-As
 Branch of Accounting it is COmpar-
 atively Modern DeveIOpment--In Use
 in Commercial World for Some Time
 But Not Yet Introduced to Any Con-
 siderable Extent by the Government.
 Washington, Jan. 13. President Roosevelt to-day made public a report on "cost keeping in the government service" prepared by the committee on department methods known as the Keep commission. A cost system if properly devised and operated, the re- port says, will furnish inform ton en- abling the responsible head e or ganization to know where e mics may be effected by introducil new arrangements in organization or new methods in operation, to establish more intelligently on the probable cost of future operations along similar lines, and to fix proper selling prices on products transferred to other gov ernment organizations, or sold to for eign governments or to private indi- viduals. The recommendations of the commission have the cordial endorse ment of Secretary Shaw of the treas ury department.
 Cost keeping as a branch of account ing is a comparatively modern devel- opment, the report says, and while largely employed in the commercial world has not been introduced to any considerable extent in the government service. In this matter the government has much to learn from private husi- ness. Especially is this true where it has a number of establishments in diff ferent parts of the country all doing the same class of work. such as the manufacturing done in hints, arsenals and navy yards. In work of this character the institution of thorough cost keeping system would nave irtel- ligent comparisons possible and would tend to bring tho less effectively con- ducted establishments up to the stand ard of the best
 The report recommends that cost keeping systems be installed in all branches of the government service where it is possible to do so.
 The public printer is working out the details of an elaborate cost keep ing system which he is about to in- stall in the government printing of- Zee. and the mint bureau has put a new system in effect at the various hints.
 Attention is ca'led to the methods of appropriations TOT the bureau of en- graving and printing which are made under three heads and for the govern ment printing office where lump sum is given. The report expresses the opinion that appropriations made spe- officially for each of the main heads would be of material advantage over the present system in which case the bookkeeping would harmonize with the cost keeping system.

 In the war that is being waged be- tween the clergy and hell, the express sions of unity and sympathy from Catholics throughout the world are the greatest consolation. America especial ly has distinguished herself in this way; indeed, America is a great credit to us. When you return to your glori- ous country follow with the clergy and the people this luminous example of solidarity in the tremendous conflict against the church"
