PRAYERS FOR T. RS RETURN.
Roosevelt Family Nurse Offered Sup
plications Before a Shrine.

plications Before a Shrine.
New York, June 10.-ln a little
church, on the east side, before the
shrine far from ornate, there is can
die burning for prayers for the safe
ty and happy home coming of Theo-
dOre Roosevelt.
All the time the eX-president has
been away, not once has that candle
light before the shrine been neglect
ed by the elderly woman who placed
it there, and who with others has
knelt time and again before it, Offering
up prayers for his safe return.
Accident alone led to the discovery
that Mrs. Mary Ledwith, long time
governess, companion, contidante, all
but mother, to two generations of
Roosevelts, was praying for the safe
ty of the most widely known man in
the nation, for, retiring as she is, she
would never have mentioned what is
only to her a dearly loved duty. But
she has not been alone in her pray
ers. one after another of her friends
have knelt before that shrine because
she wished it and added their pray
ers to hers.
But now that he is coming back,
the African dangers past, the pomp
of kings safely encountered and fair
ly over, only the ocean hazard left
Mrs Ledwith is jubilant and does
not deny she has never ceased her
prayers for him.
Yesterday in the quaint, little, old
fashioned home of her sister, Miss
Katherine DAILY another candle was
burning for him in a little shrine in
their bedroom and its tiny flame threw
little dancing lights about the dark
little room and on the old time black
walnut furniture.
It's not because he's the greatest
man in this country that l >love him,
said the silver haired lady, its be
cause he's Theodore Roosevelt, one OF
the most lovable men in the world
and the husband of Mrs. Roosevelt
OF course, | feared for him when he
started on this trip, but if prayers
could help him, and | know they can
why should he not have mine?
you know he came to see me jus
before he left, but l do not see why
the papers made so much of that. He
comes to see me often, just like al
the rest of the family do, ever since
l came away from Washington anC
came to New York to stay with my
sisters awhile"

a large sense, review the facts as they
would be presented to a grand jury.
Having done this, 1t is his opinion as
well as that OF his assistant, in which
opinion concur, that the county ought
not to be put to the large expense nee
essary TO institute and carry to a con-
clusion a prosecution, which we fully
believe beforehand would only result
in a dismissal of the action upon the
presentation of the case by the state,
and without any testimony offered by
the defendant at all. Indeed, 1t is the
evident policy and purpose OF the law
that the county should be saved from
the burden Of carrying on improvident
litigation such as this would be under
the present state of the testimony
which is known to you and to the
officers Of the law. The officers OF the
law ought not to be expected, and 1t
certainly is not their duty, to issue
warrants merely upon suspicion, and
the testimony in this case as at present
disclosed, amounts TO little more than
suspicion that the party charged
committed the act.
The statute Of limitations never runs
in homicide cases, so that, should fur
their Investigations furnish the evil
dence necessary to warrant putting any
person upon trial, the officers Of the
law will take pleasure in promptly pro-
ceeding against the offender.

MING DURING HEAVY STORM.

On Saturday evening during show
err at Tower City, the residence Of Mr..
and Mrs. Hubbell, ST., was struck by
lightning and Mrs. Hubbell was shock
ed for a time. She remained in a
semi unconscious condition for about
fifteen minutes when she was unable to
move and then she perceived the odor
of fire and on opening an adjoining
room she found the bed was on fire
and the room full Of smoke.
She was alone in the house at the
time and put forth all her efforts to
quench the flames, but without avail,
for the house with its entire contents
were consumed. Mr.. and Mrs. M. III.
Kiff provided a home for the aged
couple at once. The sad part of the
circumstance is the fact that the in
surance policy on the house had only
expired a few days ago and had not
been renewed.
