ATHLETES VISIT AT OYSTER BAY President and Mrs. Roosevelt Entertain the Returning American Heroes.

TEDDY WAS JUBILANT.

SAID IT WAS SIMPLY GREAT AND SHOOK THE HAND OF EACH MAN AS HE PASSED ALONG THE LINE. Oyster Bay, N. Y., Sept. 1. Sixty members of the American Olympic team visited President Roosevelt at his residence on Sagamore Hill yesterday. The president and Mrs. Roosevelt stood at the front door of the house, and, as each athlete filed past, both the president and his wife shook hands with him heartily. The president paid a compliment to each man s he was introduced by James E. Sullivan. On the veranda sat Mr. and Mrs. Nicholas Longworth and all the president's children.

The first athlete to be presented

was John J. Hayes, the Marathon win ner.

"Here'i the top-notcher," said the

presided he grasped Hayes hand in a vi:. j ' e grip, which made the

runner wines.

"This is fine, fine," continued the

president, working his visitor's hand

up and down like a pump-handle, "And

I am bo glad that a New York boy won it. By George! I am so glad to

see all you boys."

M. W. Sheppard presented to the president the medal he won in the

1,500-meter race.

"Thanks, thanks; I value this," said the president. "Let's see, aren't you a member of the New York Police?" "No." said Sheppard, sadly; "they

turned me down."

"Well, by gracious, I wish I were

still commissioner," said the presi dent. "This is Simply Great."

To Rector, the Virginia sprinter, he

eald: "This is simply phenomena!, simply great!" When John J. Flanagan hove in sight, his mighty shoulders blocking the doorway, the president reached out and grabbed both of Flanagan's hands. "This is the big man," said the president. "I am mighty glad to see you." When Taylor, the negro runner, came along, he got just as hearty a greeting. When Sullivan introduced H. J. McOrath as "the heavy-weight -man", the president replied: "By George! he looks it. I am glad to see you."

SAIS DOESN'T .KNOW

Wu Ting Fang in Ignorance About Notice of His Recall.

TOO MUCH IN PUBLIC.

i Washington. Sept. 1. Wu Ting Fang, Chinese minister to the -United States, who,, according to dispatches from Pekln, may be recalled because of recent disclosures, when shown the cablegram, declared his government had not in any way intimated to him that It was dissatisfied with his work and had not called him to account for anything he may have caid. Jt was reported that Wu's recall was being considered, and that the government for some ti-v Wast had been embarrassed by the minister's platform and other utterances and by his

attitude a. public character in Am

erica. Liang Tun Yen, assistant secretary of the board of foreign affairs

Is said to be the logical successor to

the post at Washington in case Min Ister Wu is recalled.

Melbourne, Sept. 1. The streets of Melbourne late last night were filled with a surging, good-humored multitude, all out to do homage to the visiting Americans, who arrived here Saturday aboard the sixteen great battle ships. The crush in the principal thoroughfares was so great that many women fainted and several persons were injured. The entire day was set

apart to jollification and the day will ever live in the memory of the inhabitants of Victoria. The federal government tendered a banquc . to the admirals and senior officers of the visfting warships at the Parliament House, at which Lord Northcote, governor general of the commonwealth and Prime Minister Deakin made brilliant speeches, in which prominence was given to the friendly feeling between the commonwealth and the United States. Rear Admiral Sperry, commander in chief of the American fleet, replying In behalf of the American navy, declared a rupture between the English speaking nations would not only be a loss, but a crime. He later was presented with i address by the commonwealth Parliament.

The city is a spectacle of magnificence. All the public buildings are ablaze with electric lights, notable in this respect being the Commonwealth

State Building and Princess bridge of the Central Railway, where a striking illuminated picture or the battleships was displayed. Earlier in the evening a picturesque torchlight procession was held, in which the metropolitan and country fire brigades, numbering about two thousand men, took part. Rain commenced to fall at a late hour, causing a precipitate retreat homeward. The dense crowds converging toward the railway station, forced the women and children into perilous positions, and many were extricated with difficulty after suffering bruises. Two persons were seriously and several others slightly Injured. All records for passenger traffic on the railways have been snattered since the arrival of the fleet.

Human Sacrifices to the God of the Serpent. There is ample proof that human beings have been offered as sacrifices to the god of the serpent in Haiti. A French archbishop of the island describes a visit made by one of the priests to a voodoo assembly. The man had disguised himself as a negro, and he was thus able to mingle undetected with the crowd In the obscurity outside the eacred circle. After the white cock and white goat had been slain and offered up and their blood had been sprinkled on the company a burly young negro came forward and prostrated himself before the priestess. Then, still kneeling, he made his prayer: "O maman, I have a favor to ask of thee." "What Is It my son?" said the negress encouragingly. "Wilt thou not give us, to complete the sacrifice, the goat without horns?" The priestess gave a sign of assent The crowd roundabout separated, and there was revealed a child sitting with its feet bound. The French priest rushed away In search of assistance In preventing the unholy rite, but the authorities on whom he called were

strangely slothful. When finally, on the day following, they arrived at the place of assembly, they found the grewsome remains of a sacrifice and a feast, among them the boiled skull of the child. Marvin Dana In Metropolitan Magazine.

Wheeling at Terre Haute. Zanesville at Evansville. South Bend at Dayton.

When Men Hurry. "Singular," said a man waiting for a train on an elevated railroad platform and looking down a street to where a hundred men and boys had gathered around two wagons that had come together in collision, "there are a hundred men standing around those two wagons, just standing there, gawping, apparently with nothing else to do and not in a bit of a hurry, but let any one of those men come up the stairs to this platform when there Is a train coming in and he'd rush and hurry and tear himself aptrt to catch tfcat train and get glum If he missed It, though he knew very wll that there'd be another train here in a minute. Let him miss a train by a second and he thinks the world is coming to an end;

let him see somebody hoisting a safe up the outside of a 'mi tiding and he

will stop and waste h.i an hour. "How do you account for that?" New York Sun.

The Effects of Salt Air and Water en the Human Body. There is a reason why parents have In all times and iu all ages endeavored to give their children the benefit of sea air and sea bathing. An Italian physician, Gerosa, tells about it: It Is agreed, he says, that all living organisms began their first existence in salt water and that as a result the human body (and Indeed every animal body) is largely made up of salt. It you taste your blood or your tears, which are the extract of blood, you will find that both are quite salt in flavor. More than this, however, every living being possesses within bis body, in the cellular stage, all those strange marine organisms which we study so curiously in museums. And, seeing, says Gerosa, that the amount of sea water contained in every body is equal to one-third of that body's weight, it is clear that In the inflnitesimally rudimentary form all known marine life

must be present la the blood. The result is that when we bathe in the sea

or breathe the sea air we replace the amount of essential salt which is constantly decreasing in the system and, all unconsciously to ourselves, weakening it Salt water, says Gerosa, Is really the main principle of life, since It Is the first condition of existence which the living organisms knew. It Is therefore always good for the body, whether it be enjoyed at the seaside or brought In bottles from the sea. In particular is it very valuable la the case of weakling children, and there Is no bodily stimulant so Invigorating to the very young as sea water.
