who was veteran in the civil

he was forty-five. when he was

and riding.
The route, up Broadway and
Fifth avenue to Fifty-ninth street,
will be lined with stands.
At Fifty-ninth street the par
ade will disband, and present
plans are that Mr.. Roosevelt will
|go Immediately to Oyster Bay, a
two-hour ride from New York.
There are a favored few, includ-
ing the newspaper men, who will
get view of Col. Roosevelt be-
fore he lands. Newspaper tugs
will start from the city at mid
night to meet the Kaiserin Au-
guste Victoria off Fire island. The
boys" will be allowed to board
and secure interviews and photo
graphs.
The reception committee will
go out to Quarantine, in the bay,
on a revenue cutter, provided by
Collector VIM. Loeb, and Roose-
welt will board the cutter and be
taken up the North river for a
two-hour ride to give the hundreds
of decorated boats in the harbor
a chance to parade.
Then will follow the land cere-
monies.
It's going to be a good days
work for Col. Roosevelt to get

his best to make 1t quiet and easy
for him.

IRIS is the way ~ 40.
Some months ago a lot OF re-
publicans planned to welcome
Roosevelt; they wanted him to-
shake hands with Taft in public
and thus o. k. the Taft admins
tration. But crafty VIM. Loeb
chloroformed this planlet.
BY letter and even by cable
Roosevelt had asked Loeb to go
easy and make the welcome light.
So Loeb decided that it ought to
be only city affair; let New
York welcome Roosevelt, was his
idea. Whereupon he asked Mayor
Gaynor to name committee of
citizens to conduct the welcome.
Cornelius Vanderbilt was named
chairman. F. A. Cosby. Rough
Rider, was elected secretary, and
the committee was made up of 29S
villagers.
Vanderbilt and Cosby tried to
do the work of preparation at
their private offices. Before they
knew 1t they were running a big
business, just in preparation for
Roosevelt's home coming.
The committeeman have put
up the money.
No water parade had been
planned, but the committe had to
plan one.
On the 25th day of May, "a
days before the homecoming, ey-
cry tug and craft in the harbor of
New York had been chartered for
the Roosevelt reception.
Every prominent fraternal
lodge in the country. various
lodges of Italians, Germans and
other foreign-Americans. clubs,
societies, bands-almost every
unit of the many associations into
which American people gather,
will be represented In the street
parade. They will come from
every part of the country.
In Battery park, where Mayor
Gaynor, on a raised platform, will
welcome Roosevelt in view of hun
dreds of thousands of persons, an
area will be roped off for 5000 in,
dividuals.
On the platform, where only
zoo of the very biggest of the big
can be accommodated, will be
seen the faces of diplomats and
men of worldwide renown. Col.
Roosevelt is expected to make a
short speech and then he will en-
ter carriage for the parade. May

D0an'S Kidney Pills Have Done
Great Service for People Who
Work in Tacoma.
Most Tacoma people work every
day in some strained, unnatural
position-bending constantly over
a -desk-riding on jolting wagons
or cars-doing 1aborious house
work; lifting, reaching or pulling,
or trying the back In a hundred
and one other ways. All these
strains tend to wear, weaken and
injure the kidneys until they fall
behind in their work of fi1tering
the poisons from the blood. Doan's
Kidney Pills cure sick kidneys,
put new strength in bad backs
Cures effected in this locality form
the strongest proof of their effic-
iency. Read this testimony.
G. d. Fruit, 1907 Center street,

fully express my gratitude for the
benefit Doan's Kidney Pills
brought me. l was so bad off
with kid<ey trouble that l was
unable to work and my entire
system was run down. My back
was SO weak and painful that
could not stand straight and / had

ELLEN BEACH YAW, who will be
heard here loon in concert. is a mistress
of, song in five languages. She sings
in Spanish. French, German, Italian
and English. .
English. her mother-tongu. served
her Tor interpretative purposes while, az
a little girl. she was singing away. like
the lark, for which they named her, and
incidentally attracting the astonished
attention of savants wherever she hap
pened to be heard.
Italian she learned in Italy, where
She was perfecting herself in the pure
''bel canto'' school of singing. This.
the only school, has been distinctly
mastered by Miss Yaw, and accounts
for the perfect use of her voice. In
Italian, Miss Yaw is as much at home
as she is in English. many Of her best
friends are eminent Italians. who can
speak no word of another language.
Her early operatic triumphs were won
in the company of internationally illus.
trious artists of the Italian stages.
AS a. student and lover of German
literature, and as we'll as a great inter.
prefer of German Lieder, Miss Yaw
made herself early the mistress of that
difficult tongue.
French came to her almost as natur.
ally as her Italian, during her residence
in Paris, her association with leading
French artists of the world, and her
tuition in the great soprano roles of tht
French operas.
With the students mind she recently
essayed Spanish. and now converses in
the soft phrases of the DUns an(
Garndees. All these languages she
sings. she does not have to translate
her songs, but offers them in all tn,
purity of their original.
Her friends look for her to make the
next assault upon Russian OF Scanda.
