AROUND WORLD WITH GRANT
Boston Man Tells Interesting Stories
of Famous Cruise of the
General.

William f. Will. Who sailed as secre-
tary Of General U. S. Grant on the famous
cruise around the world on the United
States steamer Vandalia in 1877, tells many
interesting stories Of that trip.
In those days the Vandalia was looked
upon as the most beautiful ship in the
American navy and It was because of it's
attractiveness, graceful modelling and spa
cious cabin room that it was selected to
carry the ex-president. Before the vessel
left for Europe the cabins were thor
oughly renovated and fitted out especially
for the comfort Of Grant and his family.
Among the many humorous and tragic
Incidents of the voyage, however, the in
cident that most impressed itself on the
mind of all on board the Vandalia was the
meeting of Grant and Garabaldi. After
visiting several Mediterranean ports he
ship steamed into the harbor Of Naples.
Grant was standing on deck near his cabin
admiring the scenery Of the harbor and
the excellent view Of Mount Vesuvius,
when a rowboat came alongside carrying
an oldish man with a bushy gray beard.
The man was dressed in an old military
uniform and had a wooden leg. Grant rec
ognized the lone figure in the rowboat as
Garabaldi and with a cry Of delight has
tened t. the side of the Vandslia-
"Garabaldi made rather slow progress
up the ships ladder, because Of his wooden
leg. AS he reached the deck the band
played an Italian national air. 1 was
standing directly behind General Grant.
and, therefore, could hear everything that
was said, a privilege hat the music OF tho
band prevented the other men from en-
joying, Garabaldi grasped General Grants
hand. exclaiming, Welcome to the Murat
Of America As General Grant heard the
words Of welcome and felt the pressure OF
Garabaldis hand, he began to cry,
"Garabaldi embraced the general, cry
ing. too, as he understood Grants reply:
No, general; you are the greatest general
the world has ever produced Stll weeping,
Garabaldi shook his head. While the band
finished playing the American national
hymn these two great commanders stood
there hugging each other, and crying over
each others shoulders. Those who saw
those two great strong men weeping from
the mere pleasure Of meeting each other
could not keep from crying, and there was
not a dry eye On the whole ship. II was a
sight such as l had never seen before and
never expect to see again.-Boston Globe.

Real estate men are working in closer
harmony with the Omaha Commercial
club in assisting TO secure new industries
than ever before. The time has passed when
real estate men put stumbling blocks in the
way of new industries coming to Omaha.
II was not long ago since real estate men
boosted the price of land as soon as they
learned that it was really needed for a
factory site or as a location for a ware
house. Now the real estate men, who meet
each week at the Commercial club rooms
are working tremendously with the club
in assisting to locate new factories and
different industries, realizing that by this
means Omaha is fast forging to the front
and growing.

statistics printed in the NV Years
sdition Of The Bee show clearly why
needs so many new residences and
why they are all filling as fast as they

where 70 many people come from to fin
all the new houses which are built in all
sections Of the city each year. The figures
given answer tho questions.
Under the head Of new industries The
Bee printed a list OF fifty-five new con-
Germs which have opened up for business
In Omaha during 1909. These new con-
Germs employ between 500 and 1909 men and
an most or thcsc men are either skilled
workmen or well paid statesmen IL is noted
thst q majority OF these are heads of
families and will require houses to live in,
Not only rave many new concerns come.
but nearly all other Industries show an
increase In their business which means
they are employing new men all the while.
This all means an added population aud
also means the grocery stores and meat
markets need more men to handle the
goods to feed them and thus again is the
population OF Omaha Increased. Thus more
houses are needed. Omaha has fewer VA
cant houses than any city of its class in
the country. Those who doubt the as
sertion need only to start house hunting. %

STOCK AND BOND
SALES fall OFF
BUSINESS ON NEW YORK STOCK
EXCHANGE HAS BEEN LIGHT
IN RECENT MONTHS.

New York, Sept 5.--In August the
number of shares dealt in on the New
York stock exchange was only about
1O,O0O,O00 compared with 24.000,000 a
year ago. The sales Of bonds during
the same period were $31,000,000 as
against $113,000,000. In each case the
transactions were the smallest in any
August for about ten years. This was
rest with a vengeance. Such inactivity,
however, cannot be expected to be
permanent; and now that the vacation
season is drawing to close and many
of the uncertainties which previously
checked business are disappearing, it
is reasonable to look for increasing ac-
tivity during the remainder Of the
year. Since January ! the number Of
shares of stock sold have aggregated
$4,000, 900 against 136,000,000 last
year and 2O2 1000, 100000 for the rec
ord year of 1901. In bonds the sales for
the eight months amounted to $436.-
100000, compared with $934,000,000
in 1909. which was the banner year. 1t
certainly will not be charged that spec.
ulation in Wall street this year has
been reckless or excessive. These fig
ures prove that operations on the
stock exchange for the last eight
months have been conducted upon a
strictly conservative basis.

SERMONS DIFFER
AS TO SUNDAY
WATERLOO PRIEST cRlTIcisEs
EVANGELIST; EDITOR
PRAISES HIM.

Waterloo, Sept. 5.-Sunday's COM
ing revival campaign in Waterloo re-
ceived knock and boost here yes
terday. The former was administered
by Rev. Henry H. Forkenbrock, pastor
of st. Mary's Catholic church, who at
the 10 o'clock mass spoke against the
method and the language used by the
famous baseball evangelist.
The, boost was given by F. A. Mos
Grip, editor Of the Marshalltown Times
Republican, who spoke enthusiastical-
ly Of the work of Sunday at the union
meeting of the First Congregational
church last evening. declaring him to
be the greatest evangelist the world
has seen since the days of Dwight L..
Moody. A big congregation greeted the
editor, who spoke in the highest terms
of Sunday and the good work he is ac-
complishing.
In announcing the mission to be held
at his church in January by two Fran
ciscan fathers, Father Forkenbrocl
took occasion to advise his people to
remain away from the Sunday revi-
val, claiming Sundays language at
times to be vile and unfit for children
or even grownups to hear.
AS between going to Sundays meet
ings or the theaters, the young priest
advised his congregation that the thea
ters were preferable because. he said,
there would not likely be SO much
there to offend.
The priest likened Sunday to Dowie
in his power to move people and pre-
dicted that his vogue would soon be
over because as he cOntended the DeO-
pie will not want to have merchandise
made of religion. On this point he
spoke of the large sums of money he
says Sunday takes out of places where
he holds meetings.

engine and throwing four coaches from
the track, demolishing the mail and
baggage cars.
Engineer Frank Tucker was killed
and many passengers were severely
injured. The train was rounding a
curve and running fifty miles an hour.
The cause of the disaster was a broken

THE MEN WHO ARE TO CONDUCT
INTERURsAN FUND CAMPAIGN
ASKED TO MEET TONIGHT AT
COMMERCIAL ASSOCIATION.

The plans for raising the 100000
needed to secure the interurban line
for Ottumwa are to be outlined tonight
at the meeting of the committee of 112
that will be held at o'clock in the
rooms of the Commercial association.
The necessity Of all Of the members
Of the committee being present Is cas-
lily apparent and it is most urgent that
all of the committee be present. This
is particularly necessary as means
OF saving time and it is also essential
in order that the system that is to be
followed by the soliciting committee
be fully understood by all. 1t has been
deemed best by the committee that
has had charge of this matter. from it's
inception, that the whole committee be-
present in order that all will have q
voice In the plan of raising the money,
and also that all will understand the
plan without causing delay .S the or

ually whereas it would be more sbene-
ficial to the project if all attended the
meeting and there learned how the
campaign is to be carried out.
Members of the committee haye
been working at a high tension since
the original meeting at the Garrick
last Tuesday evening and no little
amount Of success has attended their
efforts. The project, however, is OF
sufficient magnitude to demand
strong and vigorous fight or struggle
before 100000 are raised, and to this
end the boosters are bending their
every effort. There is no such word
as fail, is the slogan of the workers,
.andsno personal matters are being per-.
mitted by some of the workers to in.
terfere with the success Of the project. I
The building and operating Of an inter
urban between Ottumwa and Iowa

hustling members of the committee
that have been engaged in the cam
paign to raise the required sum and
tonight will produce working system
whereby the money is to be raised.

CAUSED BY BOMB
Explosion u. Burlington Theater Has
Been Traced to That

Burlington, Sept. SIT was estab-
,lished today that the explosion which
wrecked the Grand opera house was
caused BY steel bomb filed with
nitro-glycerine and ignited by means
of fuse some ten or fifteen feet long.
The damage to the building will pro-
badly amount to $4,000 with no insur-
ance for that class of damage.
Mr.. Cort has ordered repairs made
at once. The police theory is that the
bomb was constructed in Burlington
by some one from out of the city who
desired to put the house out of
business.
Another theory is that it was the
deed Of SINE person who objected to
the hoe opening for theatrical per-
for-lances on Sunday, which t was
announced 1t would do this season. So
far there is no clue
