 900 Delegates, in New York.

New York, May 29.-The election of officers, although two days off, and the report tomorrow of the nombinat- ing committee absorbed the attention tonight of the 10000 delegates, alter mates and visitors attending the thir- teenth biennial convention of the Gen eral Federation of Women's Clubs, in session here Although it is unofh- cially reported that Mrs. Josiah Evans Cowles of California and Mrs. Samuel B.

REPUBLICAN, ROOSEVELT

 Lawrence Graham of New York.
 Chicago, May 29-Republican Roose- welt headquarters were opened in Chi cago today by Herbert l.. Satterlee and Lawrence Graham of New York and active work of getting delegate votes for the candidate began. The head quarters were opened hours before Colonel Roosevelt arrived here on his way to Kansas City, where he is to deliSer an address tomorrow.
 George L. Von Meyer former secre- tary of the navy, is expected in Chi cago tomorrow to assume charge of the pre- convention campaign for Roosevelt.
 Indications are that the plan of Frank H. Hitchcock to have the name of Charles B. Hughes presented to the republican national convention as the first candidate may result in an in- teresting fight between the Root, Roosevelt and Hughes forces. Hitch cocks arrangement is that when the roll of states is called in alphabetical order to make nominations for presi- dent, to have Alabama, the first on the list. yield in favor of New York, so that Hughes may have the advantage of having his name presented first When friends of Root and Roosecelt learned of this plan they declared they would attempt to get recognition from the chairman to present the name of their candidate before that of Justice Hughes. They said the chairman would be obliged to settle the dispute at the time 1t arises

THE BOYS OF '61!

The road grows short line grows thin On the march to the final night, T. And the evening fills the valleys in With c mingled shade and light. Close up the ranIs till shoulders meet Though with steady poise, We follow the drums beat As did when boys. Draw to the eamPfre's glow; Let another plain Before the freIoe burns low As to ne'er blaze up again. Some good things pass, and some endure; There that old time destroys; But naught outives the friendship purs That knew when boys. For boys far though their minds be filled With the dreams that may end. Then hopes high then hearts thrilled When the eye behoIds friend. Then faith is deep, and it can't be bought Like spendthrift's useless toys. The bravest men that fought For this land of boys. That boyhood faith may this day renew, Till it rivet friendship chain To hold close and keep true While the last two boys remain. And all the way we'll be loyal stilI Be there ahead joys, True comrades up down fe's hill, As when boys.
