THE STRENUOUS LIFE

TEDDY PREACHER TWO PRACTICAL SERMONS. Be Ye Doers of the Word and not Hearers Ortlu"-"Ler Your Light So I Shine Before Tien That They ri-jg See Your Good Works." Chicago, Sept. 2 Vice President Theodore Roosevelt put in a busy day in Chicago yesterday. Everywhere he went, although his movements were unheralded, he received an ovation. 5e was recognized as he drove through the streets, and at every

He was made an honorary member of the order, "Be ye doers of the word and not nearers only," was the text l i - r irom wmcn ivir. Roosevelt preacnea m tne morning, 'i he text was suggested to him, he saia, oy reading tne sermon on WUCU dl' tention in the tsame connection to the passage which reads: -Let 7w llhl S Shine bef0re me? that thotr Tnfirr c ttmi rrsmJ works and glorify your father'in heaven." i4I am certain," he said, "that every one who tries to be a good Christian must feel a peculiar sh ame when he sees a hypocrite or a man who so conducts him self as to bring reproach upon Christianity. The Bible is es pecially hard on theOPharisees. and passage after passage in the good book is devoted to pointing out their mistakes and warning the meek and lowly not to follow in their tread. The man who observes all the ceremonials of the law in the church, but who does not carry them out in his daily life is not a true Christian. "To be doers of the word, it is natural that we must first be cx o ui me wuru. Aliendance at church is not enough, We must learn the lessons. We must study the Bible, but we w -j . . v must not let it end there. We must apply it when we go into active life. I listened to your pastor when in his opening re marks he praised the work of the Christtan Endeavor. I think that one of the most encouraging things in connection with church work in the last few decades is the way in which a conservative effort has been made by congre gations to apply Christianity to actual life. The Christian Endeavor has done an enormous amount m that line. This is also true of the Youne Men's and Younxr Women's Christian asso. ciations. They have done a great good by their club life. They furnish attractions which counteract the saloons. "The first dutv of every man is to his own house. The necessity for heroic action on a great scale arises but seldom, but the I humdrum of life is with us everjr day. I co not care how regular a woman attends church if at home she nags and whines. She must learn to be a doer of the word. .Love does not mean weakness. It is no kindness to children to allow them to grow up in selfishness. The happy children are the ones who obey. I am sorrj- for the household where the parents are not the companions of their children, "In business and in work, if

you let Christianity stop as you

go out the church door, there is little righteousness in you. You have got to behave to your fellow men" äs you would have them be have to you. You have got to have pride in your worü if you would succeed. The man who works for the love of the work is the one who succeeds. I do not mean to say that good wages should not be sought. A man should get justice for himself, but he should also do justice to others. "We often hear of a man who is called his own worst enemy. When you hear of that kind of a man you may oe certain mat some one depending upon him, usually his family, is being wronged. "With sweetness we must have strength.' We must have power velt was received with cheers. He said: -I consider the most practical form of applying Christianity is to be seen through the works of such bodies as this. The Christianity that counts is the kind that is carricd into a mans life. I j know you and your WQrk and j that j am addressing men who are carrying on the business of the nation and c arrying Chris tianity with it. The man who does ordinary work well is doing it for the Lord. I don't like to see a slack man any line of work. If a man 1S slack m hls business relations you cannot draw upon him heavily in spirit ual contests." RAGING TORRENT IN CLEVELAND Cleveland, Ohio, .Sept. 2 With the breaking o dawn yes terday the citizens of Cleveland awoke to look upon a scene of unparalleled devastation and destruction, caused by -a raging flood. While the entire city was more or less affected, the erreat volume of raging water vented its anger over miles of the eastern portion of the city and caused an amount of damage approximated at $1,000,000. iue appamng overnow was caused by a terriffic rain that rnmmenced to fall shortly after two o'clock, turned into a rfrfw , v vs v v cloudburst between the hours of 3 and 5 o'clock, and then continued with great force until nearly 10 o'clock. The storm, according to the weather officials, was the heaviest that ever swept over Cleveland si nee the establishment of the government bureau in this city over forty years ago. That no lives were. lost is noth ing short of a miracle, as stories of thrilling escapes from the water on several of the principle residence streets nf thA l0ia - Ane surSmo waters spread over area m tne east end nearly. eight miles long and a half me- a n;s extended irom Wood lanü mils avenue t0 East Cleve land, and back to East Madison avenue. Over a large share of this ex clusive residence territory the water rushed with terrific force, varying in depth f rem one to six fe?t. Culverts, trestles and bridges were torn down, nothing seemed capable of stemming the tide of destruction. Hundreds of residents who were imprisoned in their beautiful homes like stranded islanders were almost panic-stricken, expecting to be called upon'towade out into the swirling waters almost every minute. Danger signals were flashed about the city as speedily as the disabled telephone system would allow, and the work of rescue commenced.

AMERICAN GREATNESS

Men With Ax and Plow Demonstrate Fundamental Law of Success Roosevelt Tains Sensiblu to Hinneso.c . ... . . tans of Wage-Workers' Rights, Dangers ot Trusts, Our Duty Toward rorelgn Nations and Pleads for High American Character. vSt. Paul, Minn., Sept. 3 Theodore Roosevelt, vice-ynresi dent of the United States, yes terday addressed 30, 000 persons at the state fair grounds at Ham line. The crowd was the largest that ever attended an day at the fair and the greeting x o li, uuuöuku gui was entnusiastic. uiaauupaiu rt uiu inuuie to the character and energy of his hearers, descended, he said, from a race of pioneers which had pushed westward into the wilderness and laid the foundaa m ... uons ior new commonwealths. The men with ax and pick and plow who, he said, had pushed to completion the dominion of our people over the American wilderness had shown by their qualities oi aaring, endurance and far-sightedness that they reconizea in practical iorm me -l m . I fundamental Jaw of success in American life the law of worthy work, the law of resolute, high endeavor. Continuing, he said: "It seems to me that the simple acceptance of this fundamental fact of Amer ican life will help us to start aright in facing not a few of the Tirnhipmc tVint nfr-t ,1C trr, without and from within." Diswissincr tho inVr nnocfmr, Mr. Roosevelt aid: It is not only desirable but npcpssarv that tViro cVioni kq legislation which shall carefully shield tho intQtc of nrro. workers, and which shall discriminate in favor of the honest and humane employer by removing the disadvantage under which he stands when compared with unscrupulous competitors, who have no conscience and will do risrht onlv under foar of min ich. ment. Nor can legislation stop U J w I without what are termed iabor questions. The vast individual and corporate fortunes, the vast combinations of capital which have marked the development of our industrial system create hew conditions and necessitate a change from the old attitude of the state and nation toward prosperitv." There was he contended, but the scantiest justification for most of the outcrv against men of wealth, as such, and it ought to be unnecessary, he said, to state that any appeal which fisally entails the possibility of lawle -sness and violence was an attack upon the fundamental properties of American citizenship. "Our interests are at bottom common," he continued, "in the long run we go up or down together. Yet more and more it is evident that the state, and if necessary the nation, has got to possess the right of supervision and control as regards the great corporations, which are its creatures; particularly as regards the great business combinations which derive a portion of thm importance from the existence of some monopolistic tendency." As to our relations with foreign powers v ice resident Koosevelt said that our nationwhile first of all seeing to its own domestic well-being, must not shrink from playing its part among the great naxions Wltnout. "Uur duty,7 he said, "may take- many forms in the future, as it has taken many forms in the past. Nor-is it possible to lay down a hard and fast rule for all cases. We must ever face thelactofour shifting national

needs, of the always-changing

opportunities that present them selves. But we may be certain of ODe tllin' whether we wish if or not, we cannot avoid hereafter having duties to do in the face of other nations. .

The defendant was accommodated with a chair and sat the whole time listlessly in the dock. The public prosecutor said the defen dant had been residing in Emrland for eighteen months and was believed to be an American of wealth. She had been living

with persons, said to be her ed in the ' constitutional convenfather and sister, at the Metro- ion yesterday by a vote of 132

pole, London, and had been coaching through England and living genarally in the most expensive manner. .Latterly she had removed to Hampstead for the benefit of her health. She obtained an introduction to Mr. Beeton. a member of the stock exchange, to whom she represented herself to be the owner of securities worth, roughly, 500,000. She said she wanted to buy a thousand shares of United States Steel corpora tion as a speculation. This operation required 1,000, which, the defendant said, she did not have, but, as she wanted to invest immediately, she told Mr. Beeton, she had cabled to a trust company in Philadelphia to break open her strong box and forward the money to her by mail. By a series of complicated transactions she finally obtaine'd " possession of a certificate for five shares of Canadian Pacific stock and this she is charged with having altered to one thousand shares with her name substituted for that of the owner. This work was skillfully done and showed careful preparation in advance. But one mistake was made. The revenue stamn was not chanPd tn rnrrpsrvmrf .. O w ww m. wrvruv with the increased amount. The defendant sent the altered document, with a letter, to Mr. Beeton Aug. 26, asking him to buy 1,000 United States Steel shares in the firm name; also requesting a loan of 4,000, adding that she was going in for motor nnrs rathpr hpaviiv nnri WnC about to purchase a stud f arm.

The new constitution guarantees a school fund of not less than 1,100,000, and under this the better class of negroes are disposed to favor the plan as giving them a steadily increasing number of voters whose votes may be counted as cast.

BLACK CAT

Ferocious Indian Leopard Loose in a Circus Tent Satan Escaped Itom Us Cage While Bdng Ted and was Subdued Only by Much Hard Clubbing-Caught by a Lariat and "Tvown Into a Bog dY a Cowboy. Chicago, Sept. 2 "Satan," the black Indian leopard, considered one of the most ferocious animals in the collection carried by Forepaugh and Sells Brothers circus, Thirty-fifth street and Wentworth avenue, escaped from its cage while being fed shortly before 6 o'clock Saturday night. Before the animal was recaptured five persons were more or less severely injured by its claws. There were none but employes present while the leopard was out. "Satan" was confined in a cage in the menagerie tent located directly south of the big performing canvas. Shortly before 6 o'clock Keeper Kinsley started on his tour of feeding the animals. The leopard only recently had been captured, and had been in the keeper's charge but six weeks. After Kinsley had thrown a chunk of beef into the cage he turned to place in a pan of wa ter. Unwittinsrlv he had left the sliding door open, and as he faced about he saw the leopard wiggling its way out. The next instant the animal leaped to the groiind and sought shelter beneath the hippopotamus' cage. "Get the doors!" yelled Louis Sells, who entered the tent and saw Kinsley's predicament. A dozen men rushed for the wooden doors used in closing up cages and surrounded the leop ard, who crouched snarling and growling. "The black cat's loose!" was the cry that flew from lip to lip. Men with stakes, pitchforks, and clubs ran to the menagerie tent. The animal sprang against one of the boards, held by John Lennon, and, knocking the boy and board over, leaped to the other side of the tent: Keeper Kinsley goi in the way and the infuriated animal struck him with one of its paws and tore off his flannel shirt. A trail of blood from the shoulder down the arm marked the wound. Clubs and stakes were hurled at the animal, and during the fight, in which others were injured, J. A. Fonda, one of the cowboys, managed to get a lariat around the leopard and brought it to the ground. One of the attendants threw a net over the snarling captive, and the circus hands beat it almost into insen sibility. Then the animal was pushed into a canvas bag, and that tied at one end. Struggling and fighting it was carried by half a dozen men back to the cage and thrown inside. After the doors had been safely locked the rope was parted, and the leopard crawled from the bag. Kinsley, who was severely lacerated about the shoulder, arms, and hands, was taken to the office of Dr. Kelly where his wounds were dressed. Haggerty and Jones were bruised about the hands in their attempt to place the animal in the canvas bag. "Satan" had been purchased from the Hagenback collection only a short tfme ago. It was captured in India, and has not been in captivity long enough to permit training. New Plans in Iceland. Copenhagen, Sept. 4 Pre liminary government is to be in troduced in Iceland, provided the king of Denmark sanctions the constitution adopted by the Icelandic althing,, whereby the Danish minister to Iceland must at tend all sittings of the althing
