ROOSEVELT AT LANSING.
The President Delivers Three Speeches
in the Capital City of Michigan.

Lansing, Mich.-After strenu-
GUS six hours in the state capi
tai, during which he made three ad-
dresses and held a reception at the
state capitol, President Roosevelt left
at 4:20 o'clock Friday afternoon for
Washington on the Lake Shore road.
At the agricultural college in the af-
ternoon President Roosevelt spoke to
about $4,000 people from stand
erected on little knoll at the head of
the campus.
The president concluded his second
address in the state capitol about
11:15 o'clock and was driven with his
party to the college, where J. l.. Sny-
der, president of the institution, enter
tanned them at luncheon. The great
crowd before the speaking stand was
held in check by a regiment of the
national guard.
At the conclusion of the presidents
address the graduating class filed
across the platform and the president
presented them their diplomas. Hon
orary degrees were conferred upon a
number of distinguished visitors.

A MEDAL OF HONOR.
1t is Awarded to Brave Girl by Order
of President Roosevelt.

Washington, d. CA medal of
honor has been awarded to Miss Mary
Guinan, Of Middletown. n. Y, by Pres
ident Roosevelt for distinguished dar-
ing in risking her own life to save that
of John G. Runyon, an aged man who
on December 10, 1906, was in immi-
nent danger of being run down by an
Erie railroad train.
Mr.. Runyon, who is "A years old, at
tempted to cross the tracks in front Of
an oncoming train, not observing that
another train was approaching rapidly
on an adjoining track from the oppo-
site direction. He reached the spot
between the two tracks before he re-
allied his danger and then became be-
wildered by his apparent inability to
avoid being run down
Miss Guinan, who was standing at
the crossing, realizing that his confu-
sion might cost his life, sprang to his
aid. She seized and held him firmly
between the two trains as they rushed
by. As soon as the trains had passed,
she led the old man to the sidewalk.

Of Sailors Paralyzes the
Commerce of France.
117,OOO MEN OUT.
The TIeup Is Practically Complete
Strike Is Result of DissatisfaC-
ton Over a Pension Law.

Paris, France.-A general strike Of
sailors and others belonging to the
French naval reserve began at almost
all the ports of France at daylight
Friday and threatens the complete
paralysis of French commerce. The
navigation companies are making en-
ergetic representations to the govern
ment, claiming that the movement is
not directed against them and saying
that unless it is settled Immediately
it will cause untold injury to French
commerce.
The naval reserves comprise nearly
the entire maritime population en-
gagged in seafarlng life and number
about 1T 900 men, of whom $4,000 are
serving in the navy. In addition to
practically all the sailors of the mer-
camille marine, most of the longsh ore
men belong to the naval reserves.
The strike was declared by the Ma
tional Seamens union because the
government new bill increasing pen
sions from s4O,S0 to $3.50 in the case
of seamen and from $156 to 5000 in the
case of captains is regarded by the
members of the union as inadequate.

A TROLLEY ROAD COMBINE.
The Schoepf Syndicate Will Control
700 Miles of Electric Railway
in Ohio.

Columbus, o. Ever since the
Incorporation, about two weeks
ago, by the Schoepf interurban trac-
tion syndicate, of the Ohio Electric
Railway Co, with preliminary capi-
tai of 100000, there has been consid-
cradle speculation in financial circles
as to the exact plans of the syndicate.
AS stated at the time of the incor-
poration of the new company, it will
consist of consolidation of the three
separate interurban railway properties
of the Schoepf syndicate in Ohio.
These are the Cincinnati Northern
Traction Co., better known as the Gin
cinnati, Dayton & Toledo, the Indiana,
Columbus & Eastern and the Lima e
Toledo traction companies. These
three companies have about 700 miles
of electric interurban and urban roads
in operation.
The preliminary capital of the Ohio
Electric Railway Co. is to be increas-
ed from 100000 to $4,000, 900. This
will be divided into $S,00O.000 5 per
cent. preferred and $4,000 900 COM
mon. There will be no bonds.

tion was quick from Dead Town to
Lively Small City. A high school
was established, new churches built,
and some of the pious people were
shocked to see an opera house erect
ed. The Panhandle & Skedunk rail-
road, which for years had been run
ming 20 miles from the town so
changed its route as to have it on the
main line, so the place had two rail-

to locate in a Live Town turned their
eyes toward the place. Soon there
was smoke from a half dozen big fac
tories, and in five years after the Pub
lic-spirited Citizen had started his
store his old home town has increased
its population 1000 per cent. 1t was

REVIEW OF TRADE.
SeasonabIe Merchandise Goes Into
Distribution slowly.

New York.-.R. G.. Dun & Co.'S
Weekly Review of Trade says:
Seasonable merchandise goes into
distribution slowly, which causes ac-
emulation of spring and summer dry
goods and millinery in the hands Of
dealers and retards collections, while
making operations for fall and winter
much more conservative. At some
points the last week of May brought
pronounced improvement in CONNER
cial activity, but the holiday retarded
recovery and progress is slow. Manu-
featuring pants are producing at full
capacity in most industries, orders
covering output far into the future.
and more New England cotton mill
employees have received advanced
wages, making the change affect about
80, 5,000-h hands.

soon he was taken in as a member Of
the firm. Age and hard knocks and
brushes with the business world de-
-veloped in him marked business acu-
men. He forged to the front as a
financier and public-spirited citizen.
AS years passed he prospered. Early
and late he was ever looking after his
vast business interests. There were
times that he Longed to be again in
the small home town. Often in his
youth he dreamed of some day being
chairman of the village board. Only
once since parting from the old home
had he returned, and then to find the
town just the same only little more
delapidated, and in the weed-over-
grown kirkyard the neglected graves
of his good parents.
Strenuous business life and assid-
ious attention to the accumulation of
capital without vacation, caused him
10 suffer from what the doctors pro-
nounced neurasthenia, and advised
total rest from mental effort. The man
had labored too diligently in amass-
ing money. Residence in a quiet place
was recommended and retirement from
all commercial worries. The Great
Merchant sold his vast interests to a
combine, and after careful thought,
concluded that he would seek rest and
a renewal of health in the town where
ne at one time attended the little red
schoolhouse, and where in childish i'm
agination he would be powerful and
famous by becoming chairman of the
village board. Accordingly he retired
from the city, purchased the old home
stead where he was reared and picked
potatoes, and also built a residence
and became Great Factor in the
town. Time had made few changes in
the landscape. Buildings and streets
were the same, only showing the raw
ages of decay. The old stores were in
possession of the descendants of the
owners who conducted them when he
was a boy. They were not doing the
business that they should. One great
innovation was the town had a rail
road. All about was suggestive of
peace 1t was an ideal place for a
man who desired to pass his declining
days in contemplation of the here
after. There, life was much like unto
death. There was fresh air in abund-
ance. All CT nature lavishly spent its
beauty over the country and the town.
and even the weeds on the streets
were allowed to spring up, bloom and
reach maturity without interruption
by the scythe or the sscle.
Within year the Retired Business
Man had regained mu n of his old
time spirit and health. Habits of ac-
tivity and love of business impeIled
him to onre again seek work that

HOME TRADE FABLE
HOW THE TRANSFORMATION OF
A TOWN WAS EFFECTED.
A STORY WITH A MORAL
'One Public Spirited Citizen Who
Realized the Big Possibilities and
Cultivated the Field to Ad-
vantage.

Once upon time there was a Man,
who in his youth was reared upon a
farm located near a Small Town of
Great Promise. Two weeks in each
year when he was not saving wood,
feeding the stock or picking potatoes
he was allowed to attend the little red
schoolhouse in the town. BY hard la
Dor during the day, and persistently
reading a few old books which were
heirlooms in his family, and each week
absorbing the intelligence contained
in the Weekly Mirror, he, by the time
he could mark down his age at is
years, had accumulated sufficient
knowledge to run away from home
He wandered to large city and there
his great muscular power assisted to
gain for himself a position as Chief
Scrubber in a large store. He had not
acquired the cigarette habit, and his
faithfulness to his scrubbng brush,
and his unwillingness to know all
about his employers business, soon at
tIacted the attention of the Old Man,
and at the end of year he was pro-
NOTED to Head Rustler in the shipping
department at the large salary of eight
dollars a week
His disregard for scooting when the
closing time came, and his total lack
of swelled head so pleased the Old
Man that from time to time the ambi-
tious youth was advanced until at the
end of six years he yas drawing the
biggest salary paid by the house, and

would keep his mind occupied. He
loved the old town. He saw that 1t
needed new life. He figured out that
there were GOO farmers in the neigh
bornood Each farmer surely spen=
$50 month somewhere for supplies.
This meant a total of 100000 a month;
S360,000 a year. Then the few hun
dred people in the town would add
other thousands to the volume OF busi-
ness. Why not build a great store and
supply the wants of the people? He
would spend some money and build
up the town. He bought half block
on which three of the stores stood.
He erected a large brick building. and
soon he had installed in it great stocks
of goods. Other merchants in the
town shook their heads. The Public
Spirited Man was certainly crazy.
Farmers when they came to town
looked up the big building with won
der. The Weekly Mirror had to send
away for type to set up the page ad-
vertisement for the new store, and to
get new press for the printing of cir
culars and posters.
One month after the opening of the
store the graveyard quietness of the
town had passed away. Streets were
lined with the teams and the wagons
of the farmers. A new elevator for
grain had been started. The railroad
placed new switch in the yard to ac-
commodate the increased business.
The son of the old town blacksmith
reopened the old shop closed for years
because of no trade. New life was
rapidly being injected into the place.
There was an election. A lot of
newcomers selected the Public Spir-
tied Citizen for chairman of the town
board. He was elected. In six months
the streets were paved, an electric
lighting plant was in operation, along
with a water works. The Great Store
keeper had a way of doing things, and
he did them. News of the activity Of
the town reached nearby villages, and
the people came TO see the Big Store
and to buy goods. A cold storage
plant in connection with a new COM
mission house operated by friends OF
