CHARMS OF
 COUNTRY LIFE Theme of President ROOSe-
 veIt'S Address
Ceremony of a Library Pre- sentatiOn In JOrdanVilIe, New York.

Jordanville, N. Y, Aug. 26.-With a ceremony in which the president took a prominent part, the Jordanville pub lie library was today presented to the people of this community. the donors being Douglas Robinson of New York; Mrs. Robinson, Mir Roosevelt's sister and MT. Robinson's sister, who erect ed it in memory of Robinson's father and mother. The president spoke at at some length.
 After greeting the gathering as neighbOrs. the president said in part:
 'I hope in the course of a few de- cades to see farmers bend their ener- gies toward making life in the coun- try more interesting and attractive. and toward inducing our people to understand how really attractive country life is at present. I sometimes get impatient with an individual who goes to the city because he can find no attraction in the country. but I am doubtful if the fault lies with him too much loneliness and isolation and failure to take advantage of much that would be available with the eXpendi ture of a little energy.
 q welcome the development of every agency that tends to increase the at tractiveness of the country life and develop the social side of it. I do not envy idlers. neither the idle son of a millionaire nor the hobo" The hard est working individual on the farm is apt to be the mother or wife of the farmer. I believe in the farmer econ omizing. but on himself, not on his wife. I am dead right on that. If you have to drop some one. drop hired man rather than the hired girl.
 Teach your boy to work. My ideal of boy is one who will grow up and be able to support himself and his wife and children.
 "Trickery is trickery if it takes the form of doing man out of his days work cheating in grocery store, or swindling on a great scale by stock gambling. or by manipulation of rail- way securities. I am with you to the limit. I am going to put stop 10 the rascality of the big. I'll go any legth to do it and the big man knows it. but there will never be an end of it until the big man is made to know that what you object to is rascality in a big man of the age Distrust equally the man who never sees dishonesty in a big man and the one who sees it only in a big man.
 Afterwards he made a big speech and was followed by Sherman.

PERSONA NON GRAIA
 WIIH THE HORSEMEN
Governor Hughes Was Made to Under stand How the Saratoga Track Fol- lowers Regard Him.

BallstOwn, N. r., Aug. 26.-FOr an hour and half the openly expressed hostility of the owners of trotting horses taking part in events at the Saratoga county fair toward Governor Hughes held up the racing program at the grounds.
 The governor was a visitor today and addressed a big gathering which gave him hearty greeting, and attentive hearing. The governors presence on the grounds, however, was resented by the horse owners who had taken ex- ception to his efforts to suppress bet ting at race tracks. As a consequence they refused to start their horses while he was on the grounds. The Strike" caused the management of the fair marked embarrassment. When the conditions became known, a sensation was created among thousands of spec tators and considerable pressure was put upon the trotting men to change their attitude and run off the races. In this the fair officials took the lead, pointing out the awkWardness of the situation caused by the balk in the program. Their efforts were fruitless however, the owners remaining ob- durate. They openly declared the gov ernor had antagOnized their interests and that they proposed to retaliate.
 The governor was scheduled to leave on the o'clock train and shortly be- fore that time he left the grounds. I'm mediately upon his departure the racing proceeded

SULZER ENTHUSED

New York, Aug 26.-Congressman Sulzer. who returned today from an extended campaign trip through the inter mountain and Pacific coast states in an interview tonight sai7:
 Bryan is very strong west of the Mississippi and the tremendous vote that will be boiled there will be a great surprise to the country. All over the Pacific coast and inter-mOuntain states I was greatly surprised to find how much stronger Bryan is than he has been before. No doubt Bryan will carry a majority of the states west of the Mississippi river. He is sure to carry Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado, Utah, Idaho. Montana, Nevada and California. The battle ground is gO- ing to be in New York and the corn lands of the middle west. I feel con fident Bryan will carry New York"

The sky was cloudless, the sun warm and only a moderate sea was running At s a. m. the Connecticut weighed an chor and led the w3rships in single line out past the sloping shores of the harbor which were crowded with thousands of persons who gathered Ito bid farewell.
 Sydney has given her best to the Americans and the event is a mem orable one. For six days the officers and men were feted and entertained in every conceivable manner and not one untoward incident occurred to mar this notable event of Sydney's history. Speaking of the visit the Sydney Herald says:
 The fleets visit has enabled us to realize the meaning of a sea power Now that the bond has been formed a wider outlook is obtained and with the same blood in our veins, the re- suit should be helpful. It has been good to get closer to America and know Australia has been re-discov- cred"
 The Telegraph says, The visit is of great importance to the relations be- tween the two countries, based on common political aspirations and ties. The mems conduct has been ad- mirable. The British colony feels pride in the progress of the great republic and strong sympathy in ev- cry situation where American inter ests are seriously concerned"

It is believed that six or eight more will be found Twenty-Five mules were suffocated and some bodies burned. Explorations into the channels this afternoon revealed the fact that none of the men met death by burning but all were suffocated. It is impossi- ble yet for the rescuers to get far from the base of the shaft and it will probably be twenty -four hours before a thorough search will be made.
 After the miners had gone down in the cage. fire broke out. occasioned by ignition of a barrel of oil which a miner was trying to dislodge. The flames spread at once to the hoisting shaft The first intimation the peo- pie on top had of trouble was flames and smoke coming out of the shaft. Hundreds of miners went to the scene and tried to get in the air shaft, but this was impossible as the flames and smoke were coming up with such force as to drive them back. Then an effort was made to operate the cages but it was found the cables and guides had burned.
 The mine is owned by Dr. D. M.
