PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT SPEAKS AT THE CHARLESTON EXPOSITION.

Wednesday was "President's day” at the Charleston exposition. The events of the day began with a grand procession through the principal streets of Charleston, and afterward there were speeches in the exposition auditorium, the presentation of a sword by the President to Maj. Micah Jenkins, a luncheon at the Woman's building and inspection’ of the grounds and buildings. The parade was the most important that Charleston has ever seen. Besides the President and distinguished visitors. United States artillerymen, United States marines and Jackies; there were soldiers from various States and cadets from two military academies.. At noon the President proceeded from the reviewing stand into the auditorium, where the formal cereifionies took place. Addresses were made by Capt. F. W. Wagener, president of the exposition company; Gov. McSweeney of South Carolina. Gov. Aycock of North Carolina, Mayor Smyth of Charleston and the President of the United States. President Roosevelt's Speech. President Roosevelt spoke in part as follows: With delicate and thoughtful courtesy you originally asked me to come io this exposition on the birthday qf Abraham Lincoln.The Invitation not only showed a tine generosity and manliness in you. my hosts, but It also emphasized what hardly anything else could have emphasized how completely we are now a united people. The wounds left by the great Civil War, Incomparably the greatest war of modern times, have healed and its memories are now priceless heritages of honor alike to the North and to the South.' The devotion.-the self-sacri-fice, the steadfast resolution and lofty dur Ing, the high devotion to the right as each man saw It. whether Northerner or South-erner-all these qualities of the men and women of the early ’tills now shine luminous and brilliant before our eyes, while the mists of angeraind hatred that once dimmed them have passed away forever. All of us. North and South, can glory alike in the valor of the men who wore the gray. Those were Iron times and only iron men eould light to its terrible finish the giant struggle between the hosts of Grant and Lee. To as of the present day and to our children and children's children, the valiant deeds, the high endeavor and abnegation of self shown In that struggle by those who took part therein will remain for evermore to mark the level to which we In our turn must rise whenever the hour of the nation's need may come. When four years ago this nation was compelled to face a foreign 4ge, the completeness of the reunion became Jnstantly and strikingly evident. The war was not one whlph called for the exercise of more than an insignificant fraction of our strength mid the strain put upon us was slight Indeed compared with" the results. But it was a satisfactory thing to see the way In which the sons of the soldier of the Union and the soldier of tin* Confederate leaped eagerly forward, emulous to show In brotherly rivalry the qualities which had won renown for their fathers, the men of the great war. It was my good fortune to serve tinder an ex-Confederate general, gallant old Joe Wheeler, who commanded the cavalry divlalon at Santiago. In tpy regiment there were certainly ns many men whose fathers hnd served in the Southern as there were men whose fathers had served In the Northern army. Among the captains there was opportunity to promote only one to field rank. The man who was singled out for this promotion because of conspicuous gallantry In the field was the sou of a Confederate general and was himself a citisen/ff this, the Palmetto State; and no American officer could wish to march to battle beside a more loyal, gallant mid absolutely fearless comrade than my former captain and major, your fellow-citizen, Micah Jenkins. A few months ago. owing to the enforced absence of the Governor pf the Philippines, it was necessary to nominate a Vice Gov ernor to take his place-one of the monImportant places In <»ar (foternineiit at this time. I nominated aa Vice Governor an ex Confederate, Geu. Luke Wright, of Tennessee. It N. therefore, an ex-Confederate who stands as the exponent of this Government and this people in that great group of Is! nnds In the Eastern sens over wMeii the American flag floats. It Is an added pnmf of the completeness of the reunion of our country that one of the foremost men who have l>een Instrumental In driving forward the great work for civilization aud human Ity In the Philippines has la-en a mail who In the Civil War fought with distinction In a uniform of Confederate gray. Sectional Lines Wiped Out. It ever the need cornea In the future the past hns made abundantly evident the fact that from this time on Northerner nnd Southerner will In war know only the gen erous desire to strive how each can do the mon- effective service for the ting of our common country. The same thing Is true

Sign a Treaty.

Secretary Hay and Mr. Raikea,, secretary of the British embassy, have signet! a treaty extending to the Britiah colonies the provisions of the original treaty between the United States and Great Brtiain for the protection of Industrial property. Tha home of Edward Lyttle, near Uniontown, I’a., was destroyed by fire and two children, aged 2 ahd 3 years, were cremated. 'Hie tire occurred during the absence of Mrs. Lyttle, who had gone to a neighbor's. Gov. Montague of Virginia vetoed the joint Assembly resolution appropriating $300,000 for Confederate veterans on constitutional grounds. Canada refnsad to-let Brotherhood of Railway Trackmen carry on Insurance for the benefit of member*.

In the endless work of peace, the neverending work of building and keeping the marvelous fabric of our industrial prosperlty. The upbuilding of any part or our country is a benefit to the whole, and .every such effort ns this to stimulate the resources and industry of a particular section Is entltleil lu the lienr|lest support from every quarter of the Union. Thoroughly good national work can be done only if each of us works hard for himself and at the same time keeps constantly In mind that he must work In conjunction with others. You have made a particular effort In your exhibition to get into toueii with the West Indies. This Is wise. The events of the last four years have shown us that the West indies and the isthmus in the future occupy a far larger place in our national policy than tn the past. This is proved by the negotiations for the purchase of the Danish islands, the acquisition of Porto Klee. the preparation for building an isthmhiu canal and finally by the changed relations which these years have produced lwtw’een us and Cuba. As a nation we have an especial right to take honest pride tn what we have done for Cuba. Our critics abroad and at home have insisted that we never intended to leave the Island. But on_ the 20th of next month Culm becomes a free republic and we turn over to the Islanders the control of their own Government. It would be very difficult to find a parallel in the conduct of any other great state that has occupied such a position as ours. We have kept our word and done our duty just, as an honest Individual in private life keeps his word and does his duty. Be it rememliered. moreover, that after our three years’ occupation of the island we turn it over to the Cubans in a lietter condition than it ever has been In all the centuries of Spanish rule. This has a direct bearing upon our own welfare. We have rightfully insisted upon Cuba adopting toward usaii attitude differing politically from that she adopts toward any other power; and tn return, as a matter of right, we must give to Culm a different—that is, a lietter— position economically In her relations with us than we give to other powers. This is the course dictated by sound policy, by a wise and far-sighted view of opr own Interests, and by the position we have taken dwrlng the past four years. We are a wealthy and powerful country, deallngwrltb a much weaker one; and the contrast In wealth and strength makes It all the more our duty to deal wlthiCnba us we have alerady dealt with her,'ln a spirit of large generosity. Period of Prosperity. This exposition is rendered possible because of the iieriod of Industrial prosperity through widen we are passing. The wellbeing which we are now enjoying enn lie secured only through general business prosperity. and such prosperity Is conditioned upon the energy and bard work, the sanity and the mutual respect of all classes of capitalists, large and small, of wage-workers of every degree. As Is Inevitable in a time of business prosperity, some men succeed more than others, and It Is unfortunately also Inevitable that when thia is the case borne unwise people are sure to try to appeal to the envy and Jealousy of those who succeed lefiat. It is a gpod thing when these appeals are made tq remember that while It Is difficult to lactease prosperity by law it is easy enough to ruin 11, and that there is small satisfaction to the less prosperous if they succeed In overthrowing l>otb the more prosperous and themselves In the crash of a common disaster. We are certain to fall If we adopt the policy of the demagogue who raves against the wealth which la simply the form of embodied thrift, foresight and Intelligence; who would shut the door of opportualty against those whose energy we should especially fbster, by penalizing the qualities which tell for success. Just as little can we afford to follow those who fear to recognize Injustice and to endeavor to ent It out la-cause the task Is difficult or even—if performed by unskilled hands—dangerous. I’his la an era of great combinations, both of lalior and capital. In many ways these combinations have worked for good, but they must work under the law, and the lawk concerning them must lie just aud wise or they will Inevitably Ho evil; and this applies as much to the richest corporation as to the most powerful lalior union. Our laws must lie wise, sane, healthy, conceived In the spirit of those who Acorn the mere agitator, the mere Inciter of class or sectional hatred; who wish justice for all men, who recognize the need of adhering so far as possible to the old American doctrine of giving the widest possible scope for the free exercise of Individual Initiative, and yet who recognize also that after combinations have reached a certain stage It is Indispensable to the genera) welfare that the nation should exercise over them, cautiously and with setf-rvatralnt but firmly, the power of supervision and regulation. Aliove all, the. administration of the Government, the enforcement of the laws, must la- fnlr and honest. The laws are not to lie administered either in the Interest of the poor man or the Interest of the rich man. They are simply to tie administered justly— In the Interest of justice to each man, lie he rich or be he poor, giving Immunity to no violator, whatever form tile violation may assume. Such Is the obligation which every public servant takes and to It he must l>e true under penalty of forfeiting the respect both of hlniM-lf and of his fellows.

FIRE SWEEPS ATLANTIC CITY.

Blaze in New Jersey Resort Destroy* $2,000,000 Worth of Property. The most disastrous conflagration that has ever visited Atlantic City, N. J., raged along the beach fqr a distance of over three blocks Thursday. Eight hotel* were destroyed either entirely or partially destroyed. A strong southwest wind was blowing and the firemen were unable to cope with the flamefi. Assistance was asked from Philadelphia and Camden and the former city sent three engines. The estimated los* is $2,000,000. There was a report that six men bad lost thetf'lives in the flames. The fire originated in Brady’s bathhouse located on the lioard walk between New. York and Kentucky avenues and extending from Illinois avenue to Tennessee avenue—three blocks. The hotels destroyed are: The Windsor, the Berkley, the Stratford, the Stickney, the* Luray, the Tarlton, the Everard. The New Holland hotel on Kentucky avenue and Young’s pier caught fire and burned fiercely. Practically all of the property lost was attached to the board walk, a frame structure forty feet wide skirting the edge of the ocean, and consists mainly of flimsy wooden stores aud bathhouses. Fortunately the brisk wind which wai blowing-carried the flames away from the section of the city in which the most valuable hotels and colleges are located. Noted Among the Resorts. Atlantic City is one of the most noted resorts in the United States, visited by thousands of tourists from East and West every summer. Its board walk along the ocean is famous, all over the world. The population of Atlantic City is 29,000, but the largest number of it* people are those who occupy the immense hotels In the hot months. The location of Atlantic City i« peculiarly advantageous. It is virtually a city in the sea. The island on which it is situated lies five miles out from the mainland, across a marsh which is a network of salt water courses. All of the surrounding water is salt and no considerable stream of fresh water empties into the ocean within many miles of the city. The air at all times is consequently impregnated with salt and full of invigorating' freshness. On account of its advantageous kx-ation the summer temperature of Atlantic City is remarkably low. ! Forty million dollars have already been ? invested in Atlantic City. The city has been singularly free from disastrous fires.

PASSENGER TRAIN SNOWBOUND.

Fearful Tale of Suffering on the North Dakota Prairie*. News has been received of the terrible Bufferings of 250 passengers on a stalled train on the Great Northern railway at a lonely spot on the North Dakota prairie. The train was caught in a blizzard and for four days and nights was buried in snowdrifts, while the passengers, frenzied with cold and hunger, fought for rations like wild beasts. Two passengers went insane and»Prof. Colgrove, late of the University of Washington, attempted to commit suicide by cutting his throat. The train was stuck at Bay, a small water tank station seven miles from Williston, late Thursday afternoon. The engineer tried to run his engine to the next station for aid, but was forced to abandon it in a snow drift a few mile* away. This took away the steam supply for heating the passenger oars. About 100 of the passengers were second-class, in immigrant cars. When- the situation was fully understood the passengers, railroad, and Pullman crews, endeavored to make the food supply last as long as possible. Before relief came riots were threatened by the second-class passengers, two persons became insane, and many narrowly escaped freezing or starving to death. The snowstorm was one of the worst in the history of the Northwest. The railroad wires were nearly all down, and it was not until one of the passengers, an electrician, devised a rude telegraph Instrument, climbed to the top of a telegraph pole, and sent a message over the wires to Minot that officials were able to locate the train and send out snow plow* and a relief crew.

REILROADS

The Southwestern Passenger Association is believed to have been dissolved. The Illinois State Railroad-and Warehouse Commission has decided upon a revision of the freight rates of tly State. Hereafter 2,000-mile books of individual roads will not be honored by any line east of the Missouri river except the road issuing them. The Grand Trunk Railway system carried over 30,000 tourists ajid sportsmen into one district of Canada'* summer playgrounds last year. Announcement ia made by the Great Northern road of additional low rate excursions to be run from Chicago and St. Paul to points in the West. President Yoakum of the St. Louis and San Francisco road, intimates that hi* company will build to the Pacific coast, with San Francisco aa the ultimate terminus. Contrary to report the low rate tourist sleeping cars that were recently placed in service by all lines between Chicago and St. Paul will not be abandoned for some time, if at all. Among the recent orders for new equipment is a contract for six coaches by the Wisconsin Central and one for ten baggage cars for the Erie system. Both order* call for modern cars. * President Ingala of the Big Four has •xpressed disapproval of the pension systems that' have been adopted by several railroad companies. He aaya it encourages thrifUeaaneas on the part of employe*. • It ia the intention of the Illinois Central management to have as soon as possible a double track the entire distance between Chicago and New Orleans. The greater part of the distance between Chicago and Cairo, 111., ia now provided with two through track*. Thia aoason the double track work will be principally aouth of the Ohio river.

RECORD OF THE WEEK

INDIANA INCIDENTS TERSELY TOLD. Large Convention of Teacher* Dr. Horne’s Charges Not Proven—Bank Vault Blown Open and $3,200 Taken —Bad Fire at Chesterton. The twentieth annual convention of th* Northern Indiana Teachers’ Association met in South Bend. The convention is the largest in the history of the association, 2,950 instructors having registered. The teachers were formally welcomed to South Bend by J. B. Stoll, president of the board of education. The response was by J. W. Carr, superintendent of the Anderson schools. Addresses were delivered also by J. W. Hamilton of Monticello, the retiring president, and A. H. Douglass, the incoming president. In the evening Jacques W. Redway gave an illustrated lecture on the physical history of the world. The program for the three days included lectures by some of the most distinguished educators in the West. Among them were Charles Zetiblin, Lorado Taft and George H. Locke. Hold an Inofficial Investigation. The refusal of Dr. Brose S. Horne to substantiate his charges against Warden Reid and Deputy Warden Barnard of the Indiana State penitentiary at Michigan City of brutality toward prisoners when given tlib opportunity to produce his evidence did not deter the board from making an unofficial investigation, with the result that the officials stated that the allegations had practically no foundation. A complete exoneration of the officials is therefore expected when the official investigation and probing take place. Dr. Horne refused to go on because Director Biiridy - was not present at the meeting of the prison board, and he also declined to give the names of his witnesses when requested by Directors Nebeker aud Kimbrough. This was done upon the advice of Attorney James Gallagher, whom Dr. Horne had retained, and because, he said, the witnesses might be intimidated.

Saved by a Horae’s Tail. Fred Tieman and Miss Rosa Beard were on their way to a farm house near Evansville to be married. In going there they had to cross Cypress pond, a shallow stream, but by recent raius increased until it was nearly a mile wide. In the middle of the pond the horse stumbled and the bridal couple were thrown into the water, which was nearly up to their necks. The harness was pulling the horse under, but Tieman bravely held up the animal’s nose while he cut him loose from the wagon. Then, Clinging to the horse’s tail and scraps of harness, the young couple were rescued from their predicament by letting the horse swim out. Fire Sweeps Chesterton. Chesterton was threatened with destruction by fire. Assistance was sent to the burning town by special trains from LaPorte and from Michigan City and by heroic work the fire at last was got under control. Chesterton has no system of water works, and this tact, coupled with tbe high wind, made it seem for x time that the town was doomed. A num ber of business houses were destroyed. The origin of the fire has not been ascertained. The damage was nearly $60,00(t. Pennville Batik Robbed. , The big vault in the Camden Bank at Pennville, a private Institution, was blown open and ?3,200 taken. In their hurry the cracksmen overlooked several thousand dollars in paper money and a large sum in gold. A trail of gold and silver coin was left by the robbers from the bank to the street. They escai>ed in a buggy. Although the vault was looted at 2 o’clock, the robbery was not discovered until several hours later. The bank building was not wrecked.
