effort. he smiled on the house and con-
tinued the broken melody.
The moment the curtain fell he stag
gered to the wings and was led to his
dressing room by friends.

PROVES A GREAT HELP.
Cruise of Our Battleship Fleet Around
the World

Washington.-The following state
ment was given out Sunday by Secre-
tary of the Navy Newberry:
81 believe that the world encircling
cruise of the battleship fleet, to be
completed Monday, will be counted as
one of the greatest executive acts of
President Roosevelt. 1t is unlikely
that it will be initiated by any other
feet or repeated by this nation for a
generation. The benefcent results
will be shown in the increase in the
prestige and trade of our country, and
the respect shown our flag and citizens
the world over.
"The officers and men have had
drills, experience and training that
could be gained in no other way, and
the good effects of this cruise will ever
continue to appear in the Improvement
of our warships and the efficiency of
our personnel.
