Noble, president of Boucher college. institution for women at this place, took the colonel in hand when he arrived in Baltimore from New York late this afternoon. They took him to Boucher college, where he made a short address to the students and faculty. He told the young women that a college education was no passport to an easy life and that they ought to study hard and stick to 1t.
 There was nothing about the evening meeting to remind the colonel of the turbulent political rallies at which he has been speaking in his own state. The meeting was held in connection with the annual gathering of the gen eral committee of the board of for Sio IT AAAA'HAcAio VI hho AhcthooiSl i1Pio- copal church, the first regular session of which Is to take place tomorrow. On the stage were bishops and leading laymen of the church, and the audience was made up for the most part of Methodists. The hall was crowded to the doors.
 Bishop Henry w. Warren introduced the colonel as Theodore Gift of God Roosevelt"
 Although I am a member of the Dutch Reformed church." said Colonel Roosevelt, T always feel at home among the Methodists and there are times when my opponents say I talk like a Methodist lay preacher. l only wish l could talk half so effectively"
 The colonel told of his visits to mis- sions in Africa during his hunting trip and of the work which is being done there. The work, he said, was pro- gressing rapidly, although it was being carried on in many cases under diff culties
 As soon as he finished his speech Colonel Roosevelt went to his train and started westward. He is to spend to- morrow on the train, reaching Chi cago at S:45 D. m., and leaving there at 10 D. m, for Davenport, la.

CONGRESSMAN TOSS ANSWERED BY LODGE
Explanation Is Made of Vote
 on the Wool Schedule
BILL MISSED DEFEAT
Could Not Afford To Hamper With Wool Schedule As It Would Have
 Defeated Entire Bill

Gloucester, Mass, November 2.-Speak- ing at a republican campaign meeting here tonight, Senator Henry Cabot Lodge replied to Congressman Eugene N F'oss, democratic candidate for governor, as to why the senator voted against the amendment of the wool schedule in the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill.
 ''Mr. Foss asked me last night series of questions about the woolen schedule, ' asid Senator Lorge. "and one answer will cover all the questions. My colleague, Senator Crane, and I, and a gerat ma jcrity of the republicans in the Senate voted against the amendment to the woolen schedule because if that schedule had been opened to amendment the bill would have been defeated. The senators from the wool-growing states would have joined with the democrats and defeated the bill if their great industry had been attacked. I thought with many other things, that the wool schedule would be modified and improved but when it was a question of defeating the whole bill. my colleague and l and most of the republicans in the Senate were not willing to lose the bill for the sake of trying to amend one schedule. If we had tried to amend the wool schedule we should have been left with the entire Dingley law, in- cluding the woolen schedule just as it was.
 If we had tried to amend the woolen schedule and defeated the bill we should have lost the commerce court, the maxi mum and minimum provision and above all the provision for tariff board. Mir Foss would have liked to defeat the bill.
 My plan and that of my colleague, Senator Crane, and the majority of the republicans, was to make the best bill possible. MT Foss' plan would be to leave the old law In force with duty on hides, the woolen schedule un- changed and all the other duties that were reduced unaltered I think it would have been a miserable way of dealing with the question:"

stimson Al Utica

Utica, N. Y, November 2.--After a day of disagreeable weather but cor dial receptions throughout the Mohawk valley, Henry L. Stimson, republican candidate for governor, spoke in Utica this evening. He had delivered five ad- dresses durin gthe afternoon. Partic- ularly noticeable in his remarks today were utterances in favor of organized labor
 Mir. Stimson at Ilion referred to the high cost flying as being the out come of a worldwide condition and not due to any one combination of persons or political party. Some one in the crowd asked Mr. Sitmson why wages did not increase at the same time as the prices of com modities and he replied that the price of labor always was the last to ad- vance. Labor can't increase in price, " he said, without organization, and that Is why I stand for a countrywide or ganization of labor so that 1t can get it's share of the profits that go with the countrys prosperity"

Florence produces the finest quality
of inlaid work, made of stone, that
the world has ever seen. There is
table of this kind of work in the
Pitt gallery valued at $4,000.
All in all, Florence was one of
the most attractive and interesting
places we visited on our return trip.
Our next stop was Venice. Here
we had the unique experience of be-
Ing taken from the train in gondolas,
and to the tune of the plash of the
gondolier's oar, made our way through
the liquid streets of the city to The
Luna HOTEL Venice is an island city,
builded upon 100 islands about two
miles from the main land. The great
bridge which connects the city with
the mainland has 222 arches and is a
fine structure.
The streets being water, the chief
means of transportation for goods
and men is by boat. OF these there
are over 1000 in constant use, be-
side the steam tugs which regularly
ply the waters of the grand canal.
Perhaps the chief attraction of the
city is the Cathedral of imposing size.
1t dates back to $50 A. D. and has
had varied and interesting history.
One feature which sets it apart from
every other cathedral have ever
seen is its floor Not level like the
ordinary floor of house, but wayey
like the surface of the sea. You get
almost seasick walking through its
spacious length.
One evening we hired gondola
for pleasure ride, and the expert
ence can never be forgotten. The
gondolier, standing in the rear of
the graceful boat and propelling and
guiding It with one oar, rowed us
out into the Grand canal, and after
perhaps half an hour, rowed us
alongside large and beautifully
decorated and illuminated boat in
which a happy party of musicians,
with piano, violin, mandolin, guitar
and tambourine, were making merry.
They sang and played and the mel
ody of their music was carried far
over the waters, until a great crowd
of boats drew near-and then, the
free concert over, they passed the
hat-and we went on our way.
The scene must be witnessed to be
| appreciated. The lighted lamps on
the boats. moving hither and yon,
the numberless lights along the wind
ing shore, reflected into elongated
tapers burning in the water, the
feecy cloud and the silvery sheen of
the sifted moonlight all this and more
conspire to make an impression that
can never be forgotten.

Had Tags Stolen.

A person that will stoop so low as
to steal the license tag off dogs

goes, and this is literally true. With

their dogs, number of cases of the
little brass acorn shaped bangle be-
ing stolen from the necks of tagged
dogs, have been brought to the notice
of the police. OF course if the receipt
showing that the dogs license has
been paid is lost, another must be pur
chased. If the paper the city clerk
has handed out is still in the dog
owners possession duplicate tag is
obtained.
Following is a list of some of the
owners and the numbers of their dog
tags that have been stolen within the
past short while:
Joe Brownie and $50.
