Officers, Sailors and Marines Share in Receptinn at Sidney.

A BANQUET WAS SERVED. AUSTRALIA DECLARED TO BE ONE IN BODY AND SOUL IN WELCOMING HER VISITORS FROM AMERICA. Sydney, New South Wales, Aug. 21. Sir Harry Rawson, Governor of New South Wales, gave an official dinner tonight in honor of the American fleet officers, and the commonwealth government entertained the officers, sailors and marines at theaters and ocher , places of amusement. Sydney was ablaze with lights, the public buildings and thoroughfares being illuminated with countless devices. The warships In the harbor were hung with fire points, great and small, w'i"e the flashlights threw vivid ribbtns of brilliancy in every direction and to the clouds. The spectacle was viewed by vast throngs that filled the streets until a late hour. The state banquet given by Admiral Sir Harry Rawson in the town hall was a notable function. Thre were more than 1,000 guests and the balconies were thronged with women in evening gowns. The hall was beautifully decorated for the occasion wiih American, Australian and British flags intertwined. A large bust of President Roosevelt occupied a position on an elevated pedest-' ,,"v'nd the sea: tit Rear Admiral Sperry. . Charles O. V.uat, ihe premier of New South Wales, presided. Alfred Deakin, the premier . minister of the commonwealth, made a striking address of welcome. "Australia," he said, "is one in body end soul in welcoming our American visitors. The sixteen white-clad battle ships in the harbor scarcely can be described as vessels of peace, but they might rightly be called harbingers of arbitration. I trust that President Roosevelt will be1 informed in the words of the famous American captain, Joslah Tattnall, that 'Blood is, and always will be, thicker than water." ". When Admiral Sperry arose and reiterated his former statement of the to the example of Great Britain he waa tremendously applauded. He said he knew no better training for American ljaval officers than a systematic study of Great Britain's tri umphs at sea. Something more than sentiment, he continued, underlay the magnificent welcome that had been accorded them In Sydney. Ties of blood, community of interest and intermarriage united the American and the British peoples, and these bonds would be drawn closer with the completion of the Panama Canal.

While fishing in a motor boat off Great Kills this afternoon, John McMullen of Brooklyn, pulled in a 30O pound sea turtle.

Captain Armstrong was not go ing to lose the glory of bringing in the largest sea turtle ever caught off Staten Island, and grabbed the line just in time. Captain Armstrong asserts that the turtle had to be placed in the center of the boat to prevent the craft from sinking. DEEP SEA FISHES. There Betas; Xothinsr Else to Rat, Tlioy Live I'pon Each Other. "All the deep sea fishes are enormous eaters," says a naturalist. "There being nothing to eat but the life about them, they live upon each other. Every facility for killing and devouring is provided luminescence to dazzle, swiftness and strength to overtake and overpower, knife blade teeth for tearing, abnormally large jaws for crushing. Whatever the prey or however large it may be, there is little trouble in swallowing it. The mouth yawns like a cavern, and the stomach distends to hold a body even larger than the sw'allower. The appetite In fishes seems never wanting, and complete digestion with some of fhem is only a matter of half an hour." For this reason slaughter goes on unendingly. Usually It Is produced only by hunger, but some monsters, like the bluefish. even when gorged, kill for pure love of killing. Of the eternal warfare that goes on beneath the surface of the waves the same writer remarks: "They follow the prey like packs of wolves, and in turn are followed, band succeeding band, increasing iu siae as they decrease in numbers. The herrings eat the smaller fish,, even their own young; they are harried by the bluefishes until a trail of blood stains the watar, while following the bluefishes come the insatiate porpoises. Nothing eaves the weaker "ones but breed. Many thousands of eggs are spawned that a dozen or more may be hatched and brought to maturity. Billions are lost; yes, but millions survive. "The herrings move on the sea in uncountable numbers in banks that are miles In length and width. In windrows so vast that they perhaps keep passing one given point in unbroken succession for months at a time. Just so with the menhaden. A catch Jn a purse net of 500.000 Is not infrequent. Such numbers are sufficient to withstand al! the ravages of the natural enemy. The bass, the haddock and tne pollock may kill to their hearts content, and' still the menhaden -will hold their own."

HAS BOY ORGANIST Youngster Thirteen Years Old Governs Keyboard in Celebrated Church. WORKS AS LETTER CARRIER New York, Aug. 22 .St Andrew's Episcopal church at Fourth avenue and Fiftieth street, Brooklyn, has the distinction of being the only church in Brooklyn with an organist but 13 years eld. Nevertheless, the parish loners are treated on Sundays and at week days to music selected from the works of the best composers. The organist is Sidney Stout, who lives with his parents at 534 Sixtieth street Although he has not had much prac tice upon the organ, Sidney's ability on the piano is well known, and at the services few in the church recog nized any difference in the playing from that of the regular church organ 1st. The boy is a son of Mortimer M. Stout, a letter carrier. REGIMENT HAS SPLENDID BAND Will Be Heard When Soldiers Visit City. Inasmuch as the band referred to is the same as will play in this city up on the occasion of the visit of the Tenth Regiment in connection with the Fall Festival, the following from the Indianapolis Star will be of in terest: The concert given at the county fair by the Tenth Regiment band was a drawing card last night. Many of the people who entered the Midway at the fair grounds sought the band stand immediately and remained there all during the time the band played. Through the courtesy of Col. Herwy A. Greene of the Tenth Regiment, which is stationed at Ft. Harrison, the band was permitted to aid in making the fair a success. It gaye a fine concert Thursday night, also. The program rendered by the band held a large crowd about the band stand and after the concert closed with the "Star Spangled Banner" many flattering comments were made about the manner in which the band had played and helped to entertain the crowd, which attended the fair. The first settlement iu Oregon was made at Fort Clatsop, near the mouth of the Columbia river, on the 23d day of March, 1S11. The men comprising the group were prospective fur traders sent to the Pacific coast by John Jacob Astor. They had sailed from New York on board the ship Tonquin. NOTICE F. O. E.

LOCAL AFFAIR WAS MOST PRODUCTIVE OF GOOD RESULTS OF

ALL THAT HAVE BEEN HELD STEWARDS NAMED. At the closing session of the fiftyeventh annual conference of the .Vliite River Valley Baptist associaion held at the First Baptist church osterday, Cambridge City was selected as the place for the conference of vixt year. The date will be the latter art of June. The attendance at this ear's conference was unusually large ;ud the sessions have been declared o be the most successful and intersting ever held. Weather conditions lelped greatly. The Rev. Dr. Stopp was the chief peaker last evening. He gave a very merestirag talk on "Aged Ministers," vhich dealt with the respect due ihem. He said they should be taken ?are of and not forgotten as is so ofen the case. Miss Morgan who spoke m the work that is being done in the talian ouarters at Brooklyn was a ery interesting speaker. It is the general opinion that the talk given by George I Goodwin yesterday morning was one of the best of the conference. He spoke on Sun day schools and why boys over 13 years of age do not attend and how to induce them to do so. The Stewardship committee was ap pointed and consists of Dr. H. Robert Smith, of this city, chairman; Mrs. Harriett Williams, Connersville; Miss Elndes of Elkhorn and Charles Leni burger of Cambridge City, HOLIDAYS IN MEXICO. TUr Are Xamroni, but Are Hot All Local Celebrations. The visitor in Mexico is apt to be surprised at the number of holidays celebrated here and made the occasion of rejoicing, with accompanying music and decoration, and isylikely to think that the Mexican does nothing but celebrate. With his religious and national feast days, the Mexican does have many holidays of more or less general lm portance, and when he Is not celebrat lng these he may be celebrating the day of his patron saint or of that of some member of his family, so that it seems to require little inducement for him to celebrate. If a member of the family goes out of town for a few days or weeks, his return Is celebrated in some mild way and his welcome home made pleasant. But not all of the celebrations which take place in the capital are Mexican, as the foreign colonies contribute their share of feast days. The Americans celebrate their day of independence on the glorious Fourth of July, and ten days later the French celebrate the fall of the Bastille, and so it goes, the British celebrating the birthday of their- king, the Italians the entry into Rome of the troops of united Italy, the Germans the birthday of the kaiser. the Swiss the day of the formation of the confederation. The Spanish celebrate the birthday of their king, and in September their feast of Corvodonga is Important enough to last three days. No doubt there are other cele brations not so public or prominent, such as the Chinese New Year and others, but the atove goes to show that not all the feasting in the capital Is done by natives. An interesting point, however, is that foreigners who come to Mexico are soon the keenest for the coming of the various holidays, and Mexican, religious or their own, are jealously demanded as leisure daya from all houses of business or con merce.

If you wanted to buy a farm in America you would go out with a pick and spade and dig boles all over a 100 acre tract to make sure the soil was so and so and that there was not more than one stone to the rood. On these cliff vineyards along the Rhine it looks to you as If there was not more than a bushel of earth to the rood and that the rest was all stone. In America you wouldn't buy a farm on the perpendicular surface of the Grand canyon, yot you imagine the bluffs of the Rhino seemed almost as impossible before the enterprising grapevines got a start there. There may be a few Inches of space on the cliiTs where some German has not made a terrace big enough for a bunch of grapes, but if any such spot ha teen overlooked you failed to discover it with your binoculars. There are advant::?es in owning vineyard on the Rhine. Next to the financial return?, the chief advantage lies in the glamour of romance that hangs over the bluff. Frowning cas ties look down on ycu from the motft inaccessible peks. "Who lives In that big brownstone house?" you ask a German passenger on your steamer as you round a bend "That is the castle of an old noble man who kidnaped a beautiful maid and held her prisoner." you ore Iu formed. "When the kuihts of those days tried ta rescue he:, the old nobleman woul simply drop a big stone or two upon thorn as they attempted to climb the cliff.

New York, Aug. 22. The Interna tional Apple Shippers association has decided to ask congress to enact a bill for the uniform grading of apples, pro vided it receives the support of the Na tional Horticultural society and the National Apple Growers' congress. The proposed measure does not make it obligatory upon apple shippers and growers to conform to standards laid down unless they choose to have the government seal upon their packages.

CARVED A CHURCH PEW. Oyster Bay, N. Y., Aug. 22. Archie Roosevelt is in disgrace with his father and in trouble with Charles Seeley, sexton of Christ Episcopal church, which President Roosevelt attends. During the service today, while the attention of his father and mother was taken up by the sermon, Archie carved his initials and the name of his tutor, W. D. Parker, on the back of his father's pew. It was not until the president was leaving church that he discovered what his son had done. Then he reprimanded Archie severely and took his knife, a present from Mr. Parker, away from him. After the congregation left Sexton Seeley saw the whlttlings on the floor. He was horrified to find the president's pew defaced and promised the guilty person a warm time. It was Archie's fondness for his tu tor, who is teaching him Latin and French, that led him to commemorate his name in the sacred edifice. Archie goes about with him almost con stantly.

HAD NARROW ESCAPE Young Woman Proved Heroine And Saved Own and Companion's Lives. CROSSED A HOT DESERT. San Bernardino, Cal., Aug. 22. After struggling through the terrific heat of the desert with a disabled automobile for five days, Harold Braly, vice president of the Skidoo Mines, and Miss Lottie Davis, postmistress at Skidoo, missed death by only a few hours. That both are alive is due to the girl's remarkable heroism. Ten miles north of Ballarat, the machine broke down and Braly and Mtsa Davis decided to try to walk to the stage station at Wild Rose. After proceeding a short distance, both fell exhausted. Miss Davis regained her strength somewhat and crawling on her hands and knees most of the way managed to reach Wild Rose, a distance of four miles, in eight hours. She reached Wild Rose at 4 o'clock in the morning. The girl fell fainting after telling the men to go to the relief of Braly. A searching party started out and found the mine official unconscious. The physician at the camp said that Braly would have Hil two hours. SUGGEST AJOVEL PLAN Glidden Tourists May Have to Live in Tents. New York, Aug. 22. During the recent Glidden tour a proposition for a run from New York to Denver and back, was broached and much discussed. It seemed to find favor. The plan as at first roughly suggested was to camp the tourists at night west of Chicago, having ex-circus men. or other experts, in charge of big tents, moving them forward by train and wagons each day and having them ready at night. It was thought that the novelty of such a trip would probably attract a considerable contingent of noncontesting tourists and would at the same time afford opportunity for a more severe test than is possible through the large caties and rural speed traps of the Eastern coast.
