Beauchamp. ' "Theodore Roosevelt is the most fascinating and powerful public man living on earth today." Such was the characterization given . the nation's executive by Governor Henry Buchtel of Colorado in his address Sunday afternoon before an audience numbering 2S00 at the Richmond Chautauqua. . The former pastor of Grace M. E. church here, whose election to the governorship of Colorado has attracted country-wide attention,, dwelt entirely upon Roosevelt, his life, character and work. . His subject was "Theodore Roosevelt" but many thought that Gov. Buchtel would take opportunity to deviate and tell of his own experiences. Though he did not, the address was none the less interesting and was given the closest attention. There was frequent applause and an outburst at the close. From the spirit of the Chautauqua audience Sunday, the recent financial disturbances and efforts of paid news papers to distort these into panicky results of Roosevelt's policy, Richmond is still with the president. If there had been any wavering however the doubting Thomases would have received new strength from the governor's lecture. There is no more fitting way to describe Gov. Bucjtel's effort than to say that he lauded the nation's chief to the skies. United North and South. Governor Buchtel made but one reference to his former residence in Richmond. It was in speaking of Garfield's death. He said that when Garfield passed to a martyr's grave ' it proved the bond that reunited the North and South. At' that time he said he was living here and he touched upon the meeting held then in the Various churches. Governor Buchtel said in part: "The study of any great man cannot help but be beneficial and especially in the study of such a character as Theodore Roosevelt. "Roosevelt is the most fascinating and powerful public man living on earth today. The newspapers of Germany laud him as the greatest ruler on earth and in so doing their manner Is not offensive to the emperor. The English press likewise praises our ruler and in it they do not reflect on their own king. With this opinion abroad, the American people have ample foundation for their belief that Roosevelt is the greatest man of modern times. "Roosevelt's ancestry was such as to fit him for the life to which he was called. Those before him were sturdy and cultured.. With one part Dutch In his makeup, one part Hugenot, one part Scotch, one part Eng5Ih and one part Irish, Roosevelt has a composite which couldn't fall to give a man of great will power while the blood is there for a strong character. End Ideal Freedom. "Roosevelt is the living embodiment of the characteristics of his own country. The lesson this nation seek3 to teach is not in the line of arts and crafts or agriculture, though we have nceompHshed much along these lines. but rather to give to the world ideal freedom; freedom of the individual jwd the family.

crushing of all that is tyrannical Roosevelt is out truest exponent. Governor Buchtel dwelt at this point on Roosevelt's ancestry, his boyhood, his college career and his entry into politics. In speaking of Roosevelt's life in college, Governor Buchtel took occasion to score the modern collegiate attitude toward athletics. He said that if a lad of 13 entered college he was looked down on by every one from the president to the janitor, but if he weighed 230 pounds everyone from the president to the janitor admired him and cried "what a great full back he will make." Governor Buchtel is chancellor of Denver University and in his school he is trying to develop the individual by athletics rather than win team victories. Honesty and Integrity. The speaker thought the striking principles in his subject's character were absolute honesty and integrity in all things and his ability to search for the points of contact in men rath er than the points of divergence. Gov. Buchtel said Roosevelt practiced this policy when in the New York legislature. There he first started to hold himself aloof from the other members because he did not agree with them in toto. He soon found that there were points of 'contact in his thought and that of the ether members and so he buried the differences and helped others in order that he might receive help in return. Governor Buchtel said that he did the same thing with his own state legis lature Two saloon keepers fought a , local option bill which Buchtel wanted passed and after the fight was over Buchtel used these two saloon keepers to help him get needed insurance legislation. "I hav been accused," said Governor Buchtel, "of having but one candidate for president and that was Theodore Roosevelt. I want to make myself clear now in my regard to Roosevelt. When Theodore Roosevelt goes out of office March 4, 1909 he will have completed the most marvelous career of any man in the world at the age of fifty years." BIG ATTENDANCE AT INSTITUTE. Two Hundred Teachers Session. in Opening The county institute feature of the Chautauqua opened this morning with 200 teachers In attendance. Superintendent Jordan was well pleased with the attendance and with interest shown. Although the teachers do not get paid for attending the institute, as is an incorrect general impression, a certain percent is added to their general scholarship average and this is an incentive for them to hear the lectures. The institute opened with devotional exercises In which the Rev. J. O. Campbell made a splendid fifteen minutes talk. The Rev. Mr. Campbell exhorted the teachers to teach morality above all things. President E. B. Bryan of Franklin college, whose reputation in the edu cational world is established, made a splendid address. Of necessity it was in the nature of an outline of what he Intended to do during the week. President Bryan said it was his intention to instruct and not to entertain although he said if any funny stories would serve to illustrate his points he would throw them in. President Bryan expressed himself upon the shirking acher in a decided manner. He said that he did not countenance the teacher who just s!ipped through in his examinations for a license and tried to make up his defiencies by attendance at institutes. "Any object," said President Bryan in getting into the heart of his subject," is but the creature of his origin and of what has happened to him since his origin. The teacher should dismiss the origin factor in a child, because over it he has no control but the environment of a child is largely in his hands and on that T will dwell. "People are divided in their opinion as to whether a child's origin (his stock) or whether his environment determines his character." At this juncture President Bryan gave a number of illustrations which showed , that both the origin and environment enter in. Prof. S. Y. Gillan. editor of the Northwestern Teacher at Milwaukee i

The sacred concert by the Musicians Union band was given at four o'clock in the afternoon following the address of Governor Buchtel. In the evening Col.

MATCHES IN THE MAIL CONSIDEREDjlANGEROUS Souvenir Cards Are Causing Some Trouble. New types of souvenir postal cards are causing the postoffice department much trouble, according to word received at the local postoffice. The new cards have attached" to them a cigar band, a cigarette and a match, carry ing with, them the injunction to "smoke up." The cigar bands and the cigarettes are permissable but the match, is a contraband, as there is some danger in their transportation. The stamping machines oftentimes cause them to ignite.

THE LINE SESSION IS NOW OF THE IN THE POSENEMIES OF HARRIMAN, WHO HAVE STRONG COMBINATION. Speaking of the transfer of the Chi cago & Alton to the Monon by Daniel G. Reid and his associates, a New York dispatch says: Control of the Chicago and Alton, which the Rock Island party wrested from E. H. Harriman and his associgan three years ago, has to all Intents and purposes been transferred to the Toledo, St. Louis and Western. Th3 stock which will change hands on the formal ratification of the contract 5s the majority interest owned by the Rock Island company.

Harriman win ao witn tne Union Pacific's minority interest seem ed to interest no representatives of either the buying or selling company. Harriman's Enemies In Control. The men in control of the Toledo, St. Louis and Western, better known as the Clover Leaf, are as hostile to Mr. Harriman as any of the Rock Island party have shown themselves. Edwin Hawley, one of the most promi nent of them, fell out with Mr. Harri man when the Rock Island party show ed its hand in the Alton in 1004. Mr. Hawley has since resigned from the Union Pacific board. Associated with Mr. Hawley in the Clover , Leaf are Gen. Thomas H. Hubbard, a former Southern Pacific direc tor, who is suing that Harriman line to compel payment of interest on a bond issue; H. K. Huntington, interested as plaintiff in the same, suit: James N. Wallace, president of the Central Trust company; Charles A. iweea, until late ly a member of Speyer & Co.; William A. Read, of the banking house of W. A. Read & Co., and Theodore P.

On the ratification of the Alton transaction they will be in control of a system with a mileages of 2,885, traversing one of the best traffic sections in the country The deal thus brings about one of the most important changes of the rail road map that have been made for many montns. eventually tne lour roads will be merged into one compact system. Transfer Long Contemplated The Alton was operated alternately by the Harriman interests and those of the Rock Island until last June, J .

It was under stood at the time that the Moores and Reid would transfer the road as soon as possible, as it competed with the Rock Island at all important points between Chicago and the Missouri river, and under the anti-trust law could not continue in the control of the Rock Island A lurceu bate ul me iutu uuuer me .

FEDERAL COIITROL, AIM OF STRIKERS Raising Fund With View c ' Bringing About Government Ownership of Telegraph. SMALL SPOKE IN NEW YORK HE DECLARES THAT FULLY NINE TY-FIVE PER CENT. OF ALL TH COMMERCIAL OPERATORS AR OUT AT THIS TIME. New York, Aug. 26. President Small of the telegraphers today issued a statement in which he saii he had positive knowledge that by the end of the week, unless a settlement is brought about the telegraph systems of the country will be completely tied up. He says conditions are worse now than at any time yet. Operators working are on the verge of collapse as they have been up night and day. The Western Union abolished the double pay system today. Every chief operator and higher official is working, says the statement. New York, Aug. 2!. S. J. Small president of the Commercial Union of Telegraphers, arrived in New York Sunday from the West. He was met at the station by a large delegation of striking telegraphers. In the afternoon Mr. Small attended a meeting of the striking telegraphers where he was received with enthusi asm. He made a brier aaaress, in which he dealt with the general sltua tion. refraining from discussing local conditions. Mr. Small gave out an optimistic statement regarding general strike con ditions, in which he said: "We have fully ninety-five per cent of all the commercial telegraphers in the United States on strike. This ap plies to small and large cities. Thous ands of one-man offices are closed and the keys to the doors are in possession of city officials, to be turned over to the inspectors of the company when they arrive. To Raise Two Funds. "We have started to raise a large fund two of them, la fact. One of these is for the benefit of the strikers and the other to be expended in propa ganda work in favor of government control of the telegraph. Although the call for funds has only been out a few days, many remittances were re celved before I left Chicago, and, strange to say, as much was received for the campaign fund as for the bene fit of the strikers. Much has been published about ar bitration, but the cry from coast to coast Is 'no arbitration.' In the face of the statement by the president of the striking union, both the Western Union and the Postal Tele graph companies emphasize their dec larations that the situation is improv ng daily and that, barring a few unim portant towns, conditions are gradually but Fteadily resuming a normal basis They announce that they are handling all the business offered with dispatch.

BLAME LIKELY TO FALL Oil HAGERSTOWN EMPLOYES

Understood That the Verdict Of the Coroner in Recent Wreck Will Place Responsibility Definitely. : SITUATION MUDDLED TO A GREAT DEGREE. The Injured Men Arc Recovering Nicely and Engineer Calkins Will Not Suffer the Loss of His Leg. Coroner A. L. Brainkamp has as yet reached no verdict as to who should be blamed for the disastrous wreck that occurred at Hagerstown lasst Wednesday night. In which one man loat his life and eight others were injured. He will probably reach a decision within the course of the next few days, however. His verdict is delayed on account of the large number of wltness-V es to be examined. Although Coroner Bramkamp has " reached no formal final verdict, his report probably will show that the wreck was caused by gross carelessness on the part of the station agent and operator at Hagerstown. Misunderstandings or false Impressions among employes will figure largely in the verdict of the coroner. The railway officials have not as yet placed the blame either. The injured men are recovering as rapidly as possible. Morris Showalter, fireman on the wreck train, who received bad injuries about the bead, has been released from Reid hospital and went immediately to his home in Middletown, Ind. He will not be able to resume his duties on the road for several dayB however, as lie is still weak and in other ways not fully re covered from the nervous shock which the wreck occasioned. Calkins Still Confined. Engineer Calkins is still confined 1o the hospital. It was at first thought It would be necessary to amputate the leg which was broken when he Jumped from his engine, but according to advices from the hospital, there is no further danger that this operation will hae to performed. He is recovering nicely, but the severe break, one of the worst that has been attended by hos pital attaches, will keep him confined for several weeks. Joseph Gormon of South Twelfth street, one of the members of the wrecking crew, is still very weak and suffering from the effects of the many severe bruises he received over his body. W. n. Owens, another f)f the more seriously injured men, is still confined to his home on North Tenth street and is yet unable to move about unassist ed. The long gash which he received on his head is healing nicely, but the bad bruises about his head and chest are such as to give him much pain. COLT KILLED BY TRAIN Another Accident at "Dead Man's Curve." TTagerstown, Ind., Aug. 26 John Werking had a very fine three year old colt, valued at $200, killed by a train Sunday night at "Dead Man's Curve," where the wreck occurred.
