Philadelphia? " ' ApHl 2& President fTaft was the principal speaker last bight at -the. Grant -birthday dinner of the Union League in this city, and paid a striking tribute to the soldierpresident Mr. Taft was sharply crit- . icised a year ago because' of certain of hjs references to General Grant, and be took advantage of last, night's opportunity to express anew his admiration for General Grant as a man, as a soldier and as Chief Executive of the touted States. - i:' .', The president reached Philadelphia At 6:56 p.. m. . , There was a delay en route from Washington of nearly an hour, caused . by the breaking of a drawhead in jh coupling of two of the ran on the regular New York express, to which hilt private car - "Independence," was attached. Met the President. A committee of the Union League Inat the president, at West , PhiladelEhla. The president, accompanied y Captain Butt, his military aid, was Snet at Broad street by an immense throng. The "vast' capacity of Broad Street station waa filled and a spontaneous cheer' broke from the crowd as the president was recognized. Entering an outomobile the president was escorted to the Union League fclub house on Broad . street, by the First City Troop, of Cavalry, which has acted as escort to every president who has visited Philadelphia in recent . years.;;; w'v' " . The way from the station to the Union League club was lined with thousands of citizens, who cheered' the president vociferously. It was the most taotatfte greeting Mr. Taft has experienced since his inauguration. He acknowledged the cheers and plaudits of the throng by a constant lifting of his Hat Held a Reception. , At the clubhouse the president held fc reception for more than an hour, Some 2,000 Union League members baking hands with him. The banquet hall Of the Club, where about 300 eat at the tables, was profusely decorated with flowers, flags and electric Sights. ; - General Horace Porter, of New York, end President James P. Hope, of the "Union League club, were among the speakers who preceded President Taft. - The latter following his almost invariable custom,; spoke extemporaneously. Mr. ,Tft spoke at times In a half ' tjuissleal manner, and there was frequent laughter as . well as applause at his reference to political conditions in tbe South, r . i ' , After making complimentary references to the Union League's patriotic support of the Union army, at the outbreak of the war and during its continuance, Mr. Taft said i "It is peculiarly fitting that this club each year should celebrate the birthday of that man who was then coming Into prominence, and upon him hung. It would seem; the whole destinies of this nation. , x ' "It Is not. for me in the presence, of e gentleman who knew him, who served with him, who ran the risk of life and death with him. to descant upon his life, his peculiar virtues, or at length to attempt to picture his charFOOD FACTS. What an M. D. Learned. A prominent Georgia physician went through a food experience which he makes public: "It was my own experience that first led me to advocate Grape-Nuts food and I also know, from having prescribed It to convalescents and other weak patients, that the food is a wonderful rebuilder and restorer of nerve ; and brain tissue, as well as muscle. It Improves the digestion and sick patients always gain just as I did in strength and weight very rapidly. "I was in such a low; state that I had to give up my work entirely, and went to the mountains of this state, but two months there did not improve me; in fact I was not quite as well as when I left home. My food "did not sustain me and it became plain that I must change. Then I began to use Grape-Nuts food and in two weeks I could walk a mile without fatigue, and in five weeks returned to my home and practice, taking up hard work again. Since that time I have felt as well and strong as I ever did in my life. "As a physician who seeks to help all sufferers, I consider it a duty to make, these facts public" Trial 10 days on Grape-Nuts, when the regular food does not seem to sustain the body, will work miracles. - "There's a Reason." Look in pkgs. for the famous little book," "The Hoad to.WallYUle.''. Ever reed the above letter? A new one appears from time to time. They re genuine, true and full of human 4ntaresa

4 POPE PIUS X. acter to this company. LBut there arc certain things wih respect to General Grant that today come back- with reference to our passing life. , Grant's Military Genius. "They said that Grant has not the military genius that other generals displayed in the war. To my mind his mind and brain , represented the very genius of the war to suppress tbe rebellion, because it was his mind that grasped the thought that until we had fought it out with our brave opponents and met them in the field and fought them as soldiers, until we convinced them by our strength that the battle was hopeless,: we could not expect to have a united country. And therefore, from the time he began in Belmont until he accepted the surrender of Lee at Appomattox, he fought not cities, not points of strategy, but he fought the enemy and he fought, and fought and fought until he wore out the opposition, because only by wearing them out could he hope to bring about the condition in which there should be ' complete peace.. GOVERNOR WILL GO TO SOUTH BEND Marshall to Answer Summons To Appear Before the Grand Jury. TO TELL OF PRIZE FIGHTS ACTION OF THE PROSECUTOR OF ST. J03EPH COUNTY WAS RECEIVED IN INDIANAPOLIS WITH AMUSEMENT. (Special Correspondent.) Indianapolis, April 28. The news that Governor Marshall has been subpoenadB to appear before the St. Joseph county grand jury and tell what he knows about prize fighting in that county was received here yesterday with a feeling of half amusement and half curiosity. - Just why the prosecutor of St. Joseph county would summon the governor under such circumstances was more than people could understand. Of course, if the summons is served on the governor, he will go to South Bend at the appointed time' and appear before the grand jury. There would be nothing else for him to do, but there is not the slightest hope that he will be able to give any Information that will do the prosecutor or the grand jury any good. Y Declined to Talk. Governor Marshall declined to discuss the matter last night because he had not yet been served with the papers. But it is generally understood that he will go to South Bend when called. The governor does not know a thing about the prize fights in South Bend or any other part of the state except what has been told to him by others or what he has seen in the newspapers. And every bit of information that has reached him has been by him forwarded to the prosecuting attorneys of the counties in which the prize fights are said to have been held, with instructions to the prosecutors to get busy and prosecute any and all persons who were interested in the affairs. Further than this he knows nothing and cannot tell the St Joseph county grand jury any more than that Fighting Harness On. But the governor has bis fighting harness on in this matter and when he gets to going it is believed that the sparks will fly in several places. Some people seem to think that an effort is being made to put the governor in a hole by summoning him to appear before the grand jury, and they are saying that if this Is the case whoever is trying It had better farm out the job to some one else, for the governor is fully able to take care of himself. All the governor wants is for the prosecutors to enforce the law and that is the purpose of the letters that he has been sending to them. In his message to the legislature on his Inauguration Governor Marshall said that he proposed to have the laws enforced but that he did not propose to do it all himself. He said that whenever he received information that the law was being violated -in any county in the state he would send to

about the cut and model, about fit, about quality; you may even think you can't act what's good enough readymade. All right; that means you haven't seen our new suits from Hard, ScItoafifiiniCF & Marx and that means, if you're as sensible as we think you are, that you're going to see them before you spend any -clothes money. We tell you this: For style, for tailoring, Tor models, for all-wool, honest quality of fabrics, no tailor or clothier can match them;, and we know it It's money in your pocket to let us prove it; and you'll get better clothes than usual.

THE BALLATZER SISTERS WITH the prosecutor of that county such information together with the name of his informant so that the prosecutor could call in that person and start an investigation of the facts. He said that if any person was not willing to give information to the prosecutor and the grand jury he should not send it in to him. for he would certainly forward it to the proper officials. Sent Paper Clipping. This is the policy he is pursuing in sending the letters to the prosecutors of St Joseph and other counties in which It is, reported that prize-fights have been held. In the case of St Joseph county the governor sent with the letter a clipping from the Lake County Times In which it was said that prize fights were being held at South Bend. He did this in order that the St Joseph county prosecutor and grand jury might call the author of the article and learn from him what he knew about the affair. . The belief here is that there wfll be some "tall doings" in St. Joseph county If anyone tries to put Governor Marshall in a hole over the thing.

N ' f. r 0ls V, - HAG EN BECK-WALLACE SHOWS. TO AVOID GUTTER Bow Ornaments on American 'Airships Are Ordered Removed. MAKES THEM PLAIN TARGET San Francisco, April 28. Owing to tlje glitter of the highly polished figureheads on American battleships and cruisers betraying their whereabouts even more than did the white paint upon their hulls, the secretary of the navy has issued an order that all of the bow ornaments be removed, and that none be placed upon vessels now being built There is one exception in this order, however, and that is the figurehead upon the Olympia, the flag ship of Admiral Dewey in the battle 61 Manila Bay, now attached to the training squadron at the naval acade my. . - This figurehead is the handsomest ever made, and has no equal in any navy in the world. It was designed by St Gaudens and cost 111, 000. Most of the figureheads that are to bo removed are merely reproductions of the seals of the states or cities after which the easels are named. Fourteen millions of persons are in sored in Germany under the Invalidity and old age pensions act Last year the total cost of administration was 13.77450; old-age pensions amounted " to $4,325,000, Invalid' pen sions amounted to $32,600,000, and $2,000,000 ' was spent in returning premiums in case of marriage or death.

McNavin-Cash Stock Company. McNavin-Cash Stock company op ened Monday night to a crowded house, presenting "The Man from Ne vada" and refined vaudeville between the acts. The company Is composed of very clever people and give an excellent rendition of their respective roles. The applause given by the large audience present was conclusive evidence that the company made a big hit The New Phillips. Vaudeville, is certainly flourishing at the New Phillips these three days. The management came across with what it promised the vaudeville lovers and gave the Richmond public a siesta of song, a bill that is abounding in rich and artistic songs, hits that come straight from New York and have not been worn out on a pianola or in any place of public amusement From the little playlet to the comedian and on down through the illustrated song to tbe last moving pictures, the bill is a realism of the attempt to please and make all cares take the wings of the morning. Palace. The Palace theatre is offering the Richmond public two of the best films this week they have ever possessed. The first one is "The Legend of the Forget-me-not" an interesting little love story, in which things, as usual, do not run smoothly until the faint heart finally gets up courage enough to win the fair lady. The other one is entitled "Paul Has Decided to Marry, a very amusing run of pictures. Both films are among the best and are absolutely new. Mr. Dye, the ever-popular singer, will sing "Don't be an Old Maid. Molly." This is a catchy song, especially so when sung by Mr. Dye, who Is an artist In his line. . ' . At the Arcade. Wednesday and Thursday "A Bachelor's Persistence." A comic picture story tor those who , enjoy a good laugh. . A confirmed bachelor, possessed of all the attributes and characteristics of a charter member of his class falls a victim to the unerring darts of Dan Cupid and with the same persistence with which he previously sought to evade the meshes of matrimonial entanglements he now strives to enter the realm of connubial bliss. He serenades the object of his affection, offers gifts of . every description, and -Pad

seeks by every possible means to Ingratiate himself with the young lady. All efforts are unavailing, he is ordered from the premises, expulsed and subjected to all manner of humiliation, but Instead . of his ardor being dampened he is spurred on all the more to accomplish his purpose. Although he says he has made more than a million dollars in . the prize ring, "Jem" Mace, the old-time English pugilistic champion, has applied for a pension under- .the new British old age anniuty act Mace, who is now seventy-seven years old. has a record of 500 appearances in the ring and only two defeats. In recent years he has been giving boxing exhibitions, and a month ago appeared in a sketch entitled "Catching a Tartar," at a Hull music hall, but the money earned was insufficient to keep him in comfort and he was helped by friends. ...
