Xo one who knows Theodore
Roosevelt's honesty and earnestness
should ever have doubted that he

no credit, but the reverse, to sup

Battle Fleet Begins Long Trip. The great fleet sailed from Fort
Monroe Monday the "battle fleet,"
as the president of the United States
has styled it. It made no fuss or feathers about the business of getting away. There were ceremonials made
necessary by the presence of the president to sec its departure, but these were completed in short order, and then the grim battleships, sixteen of hem, all modern in type, sugges
tive of strength and power, steamed
their way out to oca and started on
heir loner vovaee to the Pacific
ocean.
Xo such aggregation of fighting
craft ever left an American .port be
fore. There were 13.000 officers and men. aboard sixteen armor ciads
whose tonnage makes a startling to
tal, and whose guns number more than 300.
The circumstances under which the
voyage was determined, the mystery surrounding the ultimate purpose of
the dispatch of the fleet ,the wide
spread comment aroused at home and abroad over this notable expedition,
and the picturesque features connected with its departure, all served to
make Monday's event historical.

CUT BY SHRINKAGE IN VOTE.
MORTUARY.
Number of Delegates to Republican State Convention Next Year Will Be 373 Less.
Mrs. Eva Harriet Westervelt-Blain.
The delegate vote of the several counties of the state at Republican conventions, based on the customary apportionment of one delegate for
every 200 votes and fraction over 100 votes cast for the head of the ticket,
lias been figured out by Carl W. Rid-
dick.secrctary of the Republican state committee. A comparison of the delegate votes of last campaign with the Coming campaign shows a shrinkage
of nearly 40U, or in other words, 'at the next state convention there will be 373 less delegates than had to be cared for at the last Republican state convention.
The figures for the counties com
prising the Thirteenth Congressional district arc given as follows:

with twelve.

Eva Harriet Westervelt Blain, was
born of parents named Smith, in Berrien county, Mich., September 7, 1842.
She was the youngest of five sisters, two of whom, Mrs. Cross of California and Mrs. Orville T. Blood, formerly Mrs. Jennie Johnson of Petosky, Michigan, are still living. Mrs.
Blain's parents died when she was
very young and she was at the age of
about three years, leagally adopted by Joseph Westervelt of Laporte, Ind.,
and came to Plymouth, Indiana with them when she was still a child, and made her home here continuously un-
til her death.
On December 27th, 1865 she was
married to John Blain, who with two
sons, Clement F. and Gideon W.
Blain survive her. The sudden death
of Mrs. Blain was wholly unexpected.
She had been confined to the house for about eight days by an attack of
lagrippe and while her illness was at-
tended by much suffering, it was not
believed that she was dangerously ill.
It is known that for a year, Mrs.
Blain's health had not been good and
the thought that she was in failing health, it is believed, had occurred to her, but the boundless energy which she applied to all that she did, and her continuous activity obscured the condition of her health so that her
friends and family did not realize that she was not quite well and were unprepared to believe that death had
come to her.
Since Mrs. Blain's early girlhood
she has taken an active part in the
life of Plymouth. For years she was a member and president of The
Women's Christian Temperance

The states have full authority over
foreign corporations and can force
them to accept any regulations, as a condition of admission, they may deem necessary. But of course, the very fact of forty-six states enforc
