NEW YORK CROWDS
CHEER PRESIDENT
Great Demonstrations Given
Him as Special Train
Passes Cities

On Board President Wilson's Spe-
cial, Albany, N. Y, November H.
President Wilson, returning to Wash
ington for the first time in two months,
tonight witnessed demonstration at
Troy and Albany in celebration of the
outcome of the election. Crowds at
both places cheered him again and
again.
The President laughed and smiled
and thanked them.
At Albany a procession. including
bands, was arranged in his honor. The
railroad station was crowded and
many persons rushed forward to shake
President Wilson's hand. Former Gov
ernor Glynn of New York, who was
temporary chairman of the st. Louis
convention that nominated the Presi-
dent, was at the station with other
democratic leaders.
AS President Wilson's train rolled
into Albany torpedoes were exploded
on the tracks and locomotive whistles
shrieked. For few moments the
President held his hands to his ears
Earlier in the day he had asked that
no elaborate celebration in his honor
be held at the station. Before the

the city.
President Wilson shook hands with
many persons at Troy.
"We're with you for four more years
of peace and prosperity" shouted one
man.
THANK you" replied the President.
''How's boy Sayre?" asked another
Fine" responded President Wilson.
One man leaped on the observa-
ton platform behind the President and
led the cheering.
The President is due to arrive in
Washington tomorrow night after a
trip down the Hudson river from
Rh.necliff. N. Y, on the naval yacht
Mayflower
He left Williamstown, Mass. where
he went to act as godfather for his
newest grandchild this afternoon. A
large crowd of students from Williams
college saw him leave.

WASHINGTON WILL
INVESTIGATE THE
LOSS OF COLUMBIAN
Now Believed That This
American Vessel Has
Been Sunk Off Coast
of Spain

London, November 1.-THE Ameri-
can steamer Columbian is believed to
have been sunk, according to an an
nouncement by Lloyds.
It was reported here on Wednesday
that the Columbian was sending out
wireless calls for help, saying she was
being shelled by a submarine. The
calls were picked up at that time by
admiralty stations.
Nothing further, however, had been
heard of the Columbian until tonights
statement from Lloyd's Shipping
agency.
The crew of the American steamship
Columbian has arrived at Corunna.
Spain, in lifeboats. says Reuter- dis
patch from Madrid.
Washington, November 1.-THE case of
the American steamer Columbian, re-
ported sunk off the Spanish coast will be
laid before President Wilson by the state
department early next week as part of a
general summary of recent submarine OPP
erations, construed by some officials as
forecasting a radical change in the Ger
man policy.
Information regarding the Columbian
was so incomplete tonight that no official
would predict what part the case might
play in the final determination of this gov
ernment's course. Late in the day the
American consul at Balboa forwarded
the report that the vessel had been
sunk 80 miles off Ortegal, and her crew
saved, but no details were given. The
dispatch Immediately was called to the
attention of Secretary Lansing.
Points to be cleared up before a de-
cision Is reached involve the questions
OF whether the vessel was fired on with
out warning, whether she carried contra
band and whether she attempted to es-
cape. The report received several days
ago that the Columbian was being shelled
by big submarine led many officials
to believe that she probably was run
ming away thereby sacrificing her i'm
munity from attack. If she carried con-
trab and and was properly warned, the
case may resolve Itself into a question
Of indemnity only.
All available facts regarding the Co.
lumbar will be collected as soon as pos
sible. Information in the Arabia and
Lanoa cases is still incomplete.

Writing in Harper's Magazine for NO
vember Ferdinand Reyher, an American
correspondent, tells of the confusing and
rapid way in which he was permitted TO
interview Talaat Bey, the Turkish min
lister of education. His guide and spon-
sor was Djari Bey, a Turkish Journalist.
Now followed a fantastic speeding
through mazes of corridors and ante
rooms, encounters with cavasses and Sec
retaries, and every moment DJari Bey
and myself, although rushing along SIDE
by side, seemed to be sweeping farther
and farther apart, for / never could dis
cover whom we were going to see at any
particular time whether the minister of
education, the secretary of the Sublime
Porte, or the minister of interior and
finance, or all of them at once, because
when we arrived two hours behind the
time of our appointment with Talaat Bey.
Talaat Bey had not yet come. Neither
had the minister of education, so Djari
Bey, undaunted, rounded up some lesser
potentates, and the confusion of names,
personalities, time, places, and purposes
became for me chaos hopeless of order,
Suddenly, like a clarifying bolt, Djarl
stopped me impressvely in the corridor
after a mystic conference with short,
dark man with a smooth. spacious face.
and informed me l had just interviewed

humor of the situation in which 1 had

hands, nodded. sat down, and almost
gone to sleep in the same room with
Talaat Bey; risen, shaken hands, and
gone out of the presence of the man who
in many respects is the most important
figure in Turkey today-without knowing
who the man was, Djari began to inn
press me with the international signifi-
canoe of this meeting.

O. Henry's Elopement

Prof. c. Alphonso Smith in the Worlds
Work.
The happiest event Of o. Henry's
life in Texas came on July 5, 1882
when he married Miss Athol Estes,
the 17-year-old daughter of Mrs. G. o.
Roach. 1t was a case Of love at first
sight on Q. Henry's part. but he de-
ferred actual courtship until Miss
Athol had finished school. Mr. and Mrs
Roach, however. entered a demurrer on
the score of health. Miss AthoPs faith
err had died of consumption, as had O.
Henry's mother and grandmother. But
the young lovers were not to be de-
MED. An elopement was instantly
planned and Economically carried out.
Borrowing a carriage from Mr.. Charles
E. Anderson, they drove out at mid
night to the residence OF Dr. r. X.
Smoot, the Presbyterian minister in
whose choir they both sang. Mr.. An
derson was dispatched to the Roach
home to sue for peace. Forgiveness
was at last secured and @. Henry never
had two stancher friends than Mr.. and
Mrs Roach. In the darkest hours of
his life their love for him knew no
waning and their faith in him neither
variableness nor the shadow of turn
ing.
TO the manner of his marriage o.
Henry occasionally referred in later
years and always with the deepest
feeling and the tenderest memory. The
moonlight drive under the trees. the
borrowed carriage, the witticisms on
the way, the parental opposition. the
feeling of romantic achievement, the
courage and serenity and JOY of the
little woman at his side. his own sense
Of assured and unclouded happiness
for the future-these came back to
him touched with pathos but radiant
and hallowed in the retrospect.

Too Much Food Dangerous
the Pictorial Review.

From the Pictorial Review.
Avoid overeating. Overeating. aside
from the interference with personal APP
Ipearance, is wasteful and harmful The
&amount of food necessary for person
&depends upon the amount of active en-
Ilergy-consuming work performed by that
fperson; it also depends on the time of
1.-THE year-cold, wintry days requiring
more food fuel to keep the body warm.
Eat enough SO, that the appetite is just
Satisfied. The amount that you eat is
Ia matter of habit and like other habits
lean be regulated.
! Those who exercise, or who do a moder-
ate amount of muscular work, require
more meat than those of more sedantry
habits. Too much meat causes an in
crease of the blood pressure. In addi-
!tion to this, when used in unnecessarily
Elarge amounts it also produces substances
Ethat irritate the liver and Kidneys and
fcreate disturbances in these laces. Many
kpeople eat as much as ind of meat
#daily and suffer the consea aences of this
oversupply in the form of various all
ments. Whenever amount has been
Produced to one-tht the ailments have
disappeared Meg talent to one-half
pound daily is for the man who
does a modera amount of muscular
work. A growing boy of 16 years or
more of age requires an equivalent
amount, while girl or woman will need
about six ounces of meat each day.
Meats-and by meats are meant the
4 usual butchers meats-in the order of
their digestibility are beef, mutton, lamb,
veal, bacon and pork. Meat should be
eaten only once a day, at the heaviest
meal.
The green vegetables can, to slight
extent. take the place of meat in re-
placing destroyed tissue. When properly
prepared, they supply other substances
not found in meat, for the use of spe-
cial parts of the body. The green vege-
ables add palatability to the food. They
include cabbage, cauliflower, spinach, let
luce, celery, cucumbers asparagus rhu-
barb, squash and onions. To this list
may be added others, usually not con-
sidered as green vegetables These are
tomatoes, turnips. beets, parsnips and
Fadishes. The most indigestible are cab
bage and cucumbers. Eat daily at least
two different vegetables in this list. Po-
tatoes, peas and Lima beans, on account
pr their starch, are classed separately.
The amount of fats and oily substances,
starchy foods, and sugar to be eaten
1aily depends on how much work the
body is called upon to do. Fats are rep
resented by butter, by the fat of pork.
ham and bacon, by cocoa, chocolate, by
he cream of the milk, and by oils such
hs are obtained from or are present in
olives and the nuts. Not more than two
ounces of butter day should be used
by one person. Four ounces of pork or
six ounces of ham or bacon are sufficient
Tor the daily allowance of a person.
