ROOSEVELT IN AFRICA.
Ex-President and His Party Arrive
at Mombasa.

AZ VholiOaou.
Ey-Prcsident Theodore Roosevelt ar
rived at Mombasa, British East Africa,
Wednesday evening on board the
steamer Admiral. Mr.. Roosevelt was
in the best of health, as were all the
members of his party. The Admiral
entered Killindini harbor flying the
American flag at her fore and main
masts. She dipped the German ensign
while passing the British cruiser Pan
dora, whose rails and masts were
manned by cheering sailors. The Pan
dora saluted the ex-President. who
was on the bridge watching with In
terest the coming into port.
The people of Mombasa were in a
great state of expectancy throughout
ing of the ship brought them in crowds
to vantage points where they might
catch a glimpse Of the distinguished
visitor. The Admiral, however, came
slowly up to the harbor, and 1t was
dark when the ex-President, accompan-
led by his son, Kermit, and the cap
tain, made a landing. They were
brought ashore in the commandments
surfboat and carried to a place of
shelter in chairs on natives shoulders.
There was a perfect deluge Of rain,
but in reply to the expression Of regret
at the weather Mr.. Roosevelt said he
was glad to get ashore in any weather.
He added that he was in splendid
health, and that the start for the hunt
ing grounds could not come a minute
too soon The governors aid boarded
the Admiral and extended a welcome
to Mr.. Roosevelt, who received another
cordial greeting on shore from the pro-
vincial commissioner, who conducted
him to the government house. s. f.
Cunningham. the hunter and field natu-
ralist, who is in charge Of the expedi-
ton, was also on land at the pier.

Denies Property Harbors Vice.
Asserting that Trinity is the rich
church of the poor people. Rev. DIR. Will
lam L. Manning, the rector of that New
Yor; church. Sunday morning made re-
ply to the criticisms which in the last
few months have been made against it,
defended every action of the vestry, de-
MED that any reason exists for the at
tacks. and outlined Il policy less conser-
vutive than the one that has been fol-
loved. 1t was the first time in 213 years,
since the parish was founded, that Trim
ity has ever broken silence in regard to
lis management and come out with a
abatement in its own defense. DIR. a
ming preached for an hour and a quarter,
whereas his usual Sunday morning SER
mons require about eighteen minutes for
delivery. There were loo persons pres
ent, including five of the veStry and some
parishioners from st. Johns Chapel,
which has been the cause of the contro-
versy. The average Sunday morning au-
dience at Trinity is 100. DR.. Naming
did not divulge what disposition the cor
poration wouiu make Of st. Johns Chap
ell, but he surprised his hearers by an
nouncing that it is the intention to build
a new church in that location. "Ihe
present situation,' said DR.. Manning, rs
not an ordinary one. and it is one which
demands a plain and public statement
from the rector of the parish. very
many of the statements which have been
made as to the condition of the dwelling
house property owned by Trinity parish
are grossly untrue. Pictures have many
times been published, both in magazines
and newspapers, with the statement that
49, ,x,o+,l,l nr,a shnwr in Thorn
we're the property of Trinity parish, when,
in fact, neither the houses shown nor the
land on which these stood were owned by
the parish, or in any way connected with
it. Certain papers have even published
pictures implying that our property is
the home of drunkenness and vice and
disorder"

NINE KILLED IN OHIO STORM.
Six Fatally Injured and Property
Loss Is Over $1,000, 900.

Nine persons were killed, six fatally
hurt, and at least fifty sustained in
juries and property valued at more
than S 100000 was destroyed in a gale
which swept through Cleveland and
northern Ohio Wednesday,. Fred Cru
gel committed suicide during the height
Of the storm because he was afraid he
was about to be killed. He rushed into
a barn out Of the rain and drank car
bolic acid. He left a note explaining
his action. Roofs were lifted off
houses, walls hurled down, strongly
braced smoke stacks picked up and
chimneys demolished. Porches were
stripped off residences and small build
ings were carried away. The largest
single injury hat was done will be to
st. Stanislaus' Church, East Sixty
fifth street and Forman avenue, in
Cleveland. The wind practically demol-
ished the structure. The loss is esti-
mated at $125,OCO.

DEATH TAKES GOV. LILLEY.
Peaceful End of Executive Is in Con-
trast with Career.

Surrounded by his family of wife
n three children and by his brother
and sister. Governor George L. Lilley,
after a day Of sinking spells, died at
7:26 o'clock Wednesday night in the
executive mansion on Pennington ave
nue., Hartford. Conn. Following his
fight in Congress in the submarine boat
exposures a year ago and his guberna-
torial campaign Of last summer and
fall, Mr.. Lilley returned to his home In
Waterbury, Conn.,, in a state of nerv-
u collapse, which was not benefited
by the criticism which greeted his first
message as Governor. A trip to a New
Jersey sanitarium failed to benefit Mr..
Lilley, and following his return to
Hartford he gradually failed, the final
dissolution being due to kidney trouble,
which affected his heart and tended to
intestinal poisoning. Lieutenant Gov
erDo Weeks will at once assume office.

There is some sport about the one,
and not IL redecming feature about the
othcd. If I had my way, l should do
away with all gambling, but l know
that it is not in human nature to pre-
vent speculation. I like racing, and,
after all. there is no sport in racing
unless there is betting. but that does
not mean that J approve of gambling.
I may have Il peculiar idea of affairs,
but l have always believed that if the
state would make fewer attempts to
make laws regulating the morals Of
the people in general and the people
would give more attention to individu-
ais the world would be better off.
"If Congress would regulate the
manipulation of the markets, which
causes high prices. such as is the case
in Chicago today. let it pass a law
placing a tax on all contracts in fu-
lures"
