Conkey Home From St. Paul; People Crazy Oyer Roosevelt
Dr. J. A. Conkey, of Richmond, who was a delegate to the conservation congress at St. Paul, is greatly Impressed with the attitude of delegates, visitors and the public at large toward Col. Theodore Roosevelt, with the warmth with which ho was greeted, and the lack of appreciation of President W. 11. Taft, and the Important part played by women at the congress. "Roosevelt for president," exactly expressed the sentiment of the big gathering at St Paul acording to Dr. Conkey. "It was Roosevelt, Roosevelt, Roosevelt," declared Dr. Conkey, "from beginning to the end of the meeting. In the hotel lobbies, on the streets, on the platform and at headquarters, he waa received with the wildest demonstrations. Even the children and the women rushed madly after his carriage, when appeared In public. "When President Taft drove through the streets In his carriage, there were of course, demonstrations and a good deal of enthusiasm, but there were no crowds following after him.

German officialdom has been given a check by the latest attempt on the life of Csar Nicholas, one of the cleverest yet made. The authorities today connect the - plot with the plan's of the anarchists now assembled In secret International convention at Zurich, Switzerland. Detectives familiar with the work of extreme radicals are today hunting two men who, disguised as members of the 88th regiment passed all the guards thrown around the castle where the Csar and Czarina are visiting at Frledburg, falling to reach the emperor only because they lacked the passport to the palace gates. Their detection is believed to rest with the provocative agents mong the extreme radical, rather than with the police, though strenuous efforts are being made to trace them and learn where they secured the uniforms, which were those of a captain and a lieutenant. - HEW IIAVY HORROR ' (American News Service.)

Seated In a little glade were half a doxen Terroriat. They were banking In the now of the Are, for the night waa chilly, and It waa evident that they had brought with them some of the spoils . of Coehery. One ruffian -had. a beautiful golden crucifix alung around hia neck; another was i)uattlng beside a heap of priceless vases and small statues; a third waa counting money that he had taken, no doubt, from the Iron rhet of the chateau. The fourth and fifth en-cu-lottea were quarrelling over aome trinkets, while the sixth a smallish, slight man, with a handsome but evil face, and stl.i more evil eyes, waa making mocking protestation of loe to a solitary-prisoner who waa standing, white and dettant, 'Death a tree. -Come, cltoyenne!" said he. a hateful smile upon hla face. -Was It not 1 who saved you when these patriot desired to thrust you back Into the biasing chateau? lid they not want to kill you, as they killed the ci-devant Comtesse de Coehery and her child? All all were destroyed save you. and "twaa I who spared you. But why? Because you looked o calm and proud, cltoyenne.

People would dash after the carriage or automobile in which be rode and follow him to the hotels and be never apepared in" public without an enthusiastic yelling mob after him. Gentlemen, thieves, highwaymen, women and children, old men and young, were alike running side by side to pay their respects to the former president. "When President Taft spoke In the auditorium there was a good crowd of ten thousand people present, which listened with great attention to his words. However after the meeting no one could tell Just what the president was driving at. He talked a great deal but did not take a stand on anything. "When Col. Roosevelt appeared at the auditorium a crowd estimated conservatively at 16,000 Jammed the big building. Roosevelt made a big hit for Instead of avoiding questions he took absolute stands and left no one in doubt as to his views."
2 Men Enter House at Midnight, Take Two Wee Girls, One a Mere Baby. WERE ASLEEP WITH AUNTS (American "Jews Service.) Chicago, Sept. 8. The police today are searching for the kidnappers of Ruth and Helen Mellcin, 2 years and 9 months old, respectively who were stolen from the residence of their mother, 'Mrs. Cora Mellcin, 320 West Oak street, shortly after midnight, by two men who forced apart iron bars on a window to gain entrance. The children were alseep with their aunts. May and Edith Danielson, sisters of Mrs. Mellcin. Both women were found to have been chloroformed by the intruders. ' Mrs. Melicln, who had been out following her husband, George Melicln. from whom she is separated, returned shortly before 2 o'clock this morning and found the children missing. She notified the police of the Chicago avenue station. When the police learned that Mellcin was living at the residence of Mrs. Ida Young, 55 West Erie street, they went to the place and found the two children. According to Ruth, the oldest girl, they were stolen by her father and George Young, son of the woman with whom Mellcin has been living. Mrs. Mellcin accompanied the police to the Young house where they found the two children crying for their mother. Mrs. Young was taken into custody, but neither Mellcin nor Young could be found.

Ilia comradea scrambled to their feet and came to him. -What Is the matter. Talon Chasal?" cried one. "The aristocrat escaped. The woman Coehery. with her child, fled from the chateau! Eh, Is that so?" he raved. Stamping his foot at his captive. Rose Annaly smiled. 8h had paaaed through such scenes, euch perils, that the rage of Citiaen Chaxal seemed but a small affair. She loathed him aa she mifrht loathe a dreadful and a dangerous snake, but there was no shrinking, no cringing, when the wretch lifted his hand and struck her smartly on the cheek. Speak!" he yelled. "Speak, aristocrat! Tell me how the woman Coehery escaped, or you shall burn In thla fire, as I wish you had been Burnt in the biasing chateau!" " H aelxed her by the wrist, and threw her. unresisting, towards the blase. "I wtil tell you-hoTr the Comtess escaped." she answered. "Someone said that there was a chance for one to goto reach the forest to he safe from you. ritixen. and the other vile monsters of the Terror. Th Comtesae begged mo to tty while there was yet time, but I thought of the child, and so and so. citizen, I persuaded the Comtesse to escape for the sake of her boy. That is. ail I have to tell you. I and the servants stayed at the Chateau Coehery that a child might be saved. And that child was saved!" she cried, with a clear not of exultation In her voice. "And those brave men who held the chateau against you. that you might be fooled that you roltrht imagine your prey was trapped, when all the time she waa fleeing to safety they are now at rest. You cannot hurt them, citizen; you and your cruet followers cannot pursue those heroes. You cannot hunt them down, for they are In 'heaven where 1 shall be ere dawn."

Pennsylvania Terminal Station New York, Opened For Traffic
(American News Service.) New York, Sept. 8. The opening today of the Pennsylvania railroad tunnels under the East and North rivers to the public marks not only the completion of one of the most gigantic engineering feats of modern times, but the beginning of a new epoch in railroad history. For years the eastern railroads have looked with a Jealous eye at the New York Central the only railroad that ran trains on Manhattan Island. Passengers on all other lines were compelled to detrain at Jersey City or Hoboken and board a slowly moving ferry to reach their destination. But the Pennsylvania has now gained the object for which it has worked for the past ten years and gone a step farther. The passenger who wishes to go to Long Island does not even have to set foot on Manhattan Island. Aftetr the train leavea Newark it runs northeasterly to the heights behind Hoboken, and then dipping into the earth passes through the wonderful tunnel under the Hudson river, and emerges in the new $50,000,000 terminal in the heart of Manhattan. Leaving the noise and bustle of New York behind, it again plunges into a tunnel under the East river I and ntnfl tn thA an rfnnt at Twins' fa. land City, and continues its run on the island to Montauk Point. The Jersey and Long Island commuters that live along the lines of the Pennsylvania are now able to leave their homes and travel to Manhattan without changing cars or bothering about the fog on the river. But this great time saver represents an enormous outlay of money. It is estimated that the new terminal the handsomest structure of its kind in the world and the four tubes under the river has cost more than $$200,000,000. The work has been going on for the last ten years and hundreds of lives of workmen have been sacrificed in carrying it on. But now that the work is completed the results will manifold. Sections of Long Island and Jersey which have heretofore been prohibitive as residence places to the New York business men are now brought within easy reach of the city and will act as a relief to the overcrowded Manhattan. The time has been cut down to about one quarter, besides the elimination of the inconvenience of detraining. Every precaution known for the safety of passengers have been taken. The tunnels two under each river are of solid concrete and the cars that make up the trains are of steel. They are all equipped with motors, the entire system being run with electricity. Of course the through passenger trains will be drawn by an electric locomotive which Will replace the steam one at Harrison, N. J. More than a thousand trains a day will come in and out of the new terminal at Thirty-fourth street, when the regular schedule is adopted and a million people will pfss through the corridors daily. The terminal itself is a monument to the ingenuity of the present day architects and engineers. It is provided with every known convenience for the passenger. Built after the Roman Doric style of architecture the building covers the area bounded by Seventh and Eighth avenues and Thirty-first and Thirtythird streets. The depth of the prop had half dragged, half carried her to the tree where the horse was tethered, and as th four remaining Terrorist cam alona th track they saw their Srey swung by strong arms upon the orse; they beheld her rescuer mount swiftly, and er they could fir a pistol the rider and hia burden were aTonv. Cursing, they stayed listening until the beat ef hoofs died away, then they returned to the glade and wrangled over the spoils of their slain comrades. "Rose!" The lieutenant was holding her very tightly, and she waa clinging- to him. "Hose!" he whispered again. "It seems a dream!" she murmured. At first the sudden coming of those wretches to Coehery the chance for one. Just one. to escape, for all others had to make the sacrifice. Then, when the Comteas and the child were gone, we were forced to keep up a pretence of defiance, that th Terrorists might imagine she was within, while all the time she was fleeing to the woods to a safe hiding place well known to her. But had tho rest of us not stayed, two precious Uvea would have been lost, for to have attempted flight together would have meant death for all." The horse was mounting a track 'twist the hills. On either etde rose tho tall pines, and the moonlight waa softly falling on crag and on forest. More than once the Knglihroaj had baited and listened, but tnere were no sign of pursuit. So he rode on with a thrilling and exultant heart. He had snatched his love from death. He had saved her when It seemed as though no power on earth was near. ; "You spoke of two precious lives," he said, "which were spared to-night. Bat there were three." "Yeo," she answered. 'But If you had not come if you had not come In time." . She shuddered. -How came you to France?" she asked suddenly. "I cannot understand. All seems to be a wonderful dream." "I came to France because I heard you were at Coehery. i knew the perils that surrounded you. I feared yon might be In danger, and because I loved you I came. I have a vessel waiting In a cove not many miles away e. vessel in which we shall sail to England. Only this morning 1 left her and rode to Coehery. I found it a smoking ruin. But 1 hoped and I prayed that you might be alive, and I followed a trail which I thought might be that made by the Terrorists. While that ruffian was making love to yon and mocking you. I was listening and waiting for the chance to save you. The chance soon came. And now. Rose, you are here with me safe; and we are going back back to England." He laughed a little. 'Tea," he said. "1 cam because I loved you. When we return to England, and before I rejoin my ship and go back to the old fighting life in the Channel, will you becom my wife?" He bent lower, ana read ia her eyes the answer that be souajht. and drank from her lips the sacrament of her love. So they rode Tmj, nnder the bright stars, and. like true lover, took no heed of aught save the Joy In their hearts. Perils were forgotten: forgotten, too. by Rose were Cltlzea-Rep-resentatlT Barice and his army of ruffians. But Cltisen-Repreeentatlve Barice was making a night anarch upon tke village by the eove. mt which be had recently heard. It had been eacribed to him. Indeed, as a neat ef Revaltat wasps, and be had determined to smoke then oat. Hie work. then, would be completed, and he - had a thought of returning to Nantea to wit
erty on both streets is 799 feet 11 inches and the length of the buiding is 798 feet 9 Inches, thus allowing for extra wide sidewalks on both avenues. The walls-extend for 430 feet 6 inches from Thirty-first street to Thirty-second street. The main body of the building rises 76 feet above the street level. ' In designing the building the architects. Hessrs. McKira. Mead and White sought to express as far as was practicable with tracks far below the street surface and in the absence of the conventional train 6hed, the exterior of a great railway station in a generally .accepted form, and the character of a monumental gateway to a great metro pois. ,. - Apart from those two : Ideas, the station was-designed to- give the
greater number of lines of circulation. 'The, structure is really a mon umental bridge over the tracks, with entrances to the streets on the main axes and on all four sides. In this respect this building is unique among railway stations of the world. The (Seventh avenue facade, where is the 'main entrance, was conceived especially to carry-out the idea of the monumental gateway. It is composed of a colonnade, which is double at the carriage entrances at the street ends and at the main front entrance for pedectrians .- in the centetr. Above the central colonnade is an entablature, surmountted by a clock with a seven-foot, dial, the center of which is on the axial line of Thirty-second sereet. Each of the columns is 4V4 feet in diameter and 35 feet high. The carriage drives- at the Thirtyfirst and Thirty-third street corners are each about 63 feet wide, or the width of a standard New York City street. On passing through the entrance for foot passengers one comes to an arcade 225 feet long and' 45 feet wide, flanked by shops and booths on both sides. At the further end of the arcade are the restaurant, lunch rooms and cafe. From the arcade one enters the general waiting room! the floor of which is on the first level below the street. This room, the largest in any railroad station in the world, extends from Thirty-flrst to Thirty-third street, its walls parallel to Seventh and Eighth avenues, for a distance of 277 feet. The height of this room is 150 feet and 103 wide. The walla of the waiting room above the main body of the buildtng contain on each side three semi-circular windows of a radius of 33 feet, 4 Inches, and 66 feet two inches wide at the Lbase. There is also a window of like size at each end of 'the waiting room. In its general aspect this huge waiting room was modelled after the structures of ancient Rome, such as the baths of Caracalla, Titus and Clocletian and the basilica of Constantino, which are perhaps the greatest examples in history of large roofed areas treatedin a monumental manner. Within the waiting room are located ticket . offices and baggage checking windows. Adjoining it on the west are two subsidiary waiting rooms, 53 by 100 feet, for men and women. These open into retiring rooms. ' On the same level with these waiting rooms the main baggage room, with 450 feet. of frontage is located. This is for the use of transfer wagons and covers the full area occupied by the arcade and restaurants on the ness the executions. . . Particularly did he wish te behoTd again the proud and beautiful cltoyenne who had directed the defense of the Chateau Coehery. She had said ahe was an Englishwoman -after hr capture; but he and Chazal had laughed her to scorn; and, even if they believed her, -they-did-net mean to admit it, because there were merchants at Nantes who traded with England, and these might make some . effort to effect her release. So Chazal and Bailee had told her that she was an aristocrat, and must die as aristocrats usually died. She had smiled, and answered that she was sure ahe could do that. And that answer, and that smile, had somehow strangely pleased the Citizen-Representative. Besides, he was notoriously a lover of pretty faces, and this cltoyenne was very beautiful. He had thought of her a great deal since Talon Chasal had gone off with her. He owed Talon his life; but nevertheless he begrudged him his fair prisoner. Picture his delight, therefore, when a crowd of his ruffians came running to say that they had captured an Englishman and not only an Englishman, but th cltoyenne who had defied them aod directed the defense of the Chateau Cocbery. ... e . Tt was a false alarm. The lovers, indeed, had come right upon the straggling- Terrorists. One had seised the horse's bridle: others had crowded around, and Manners, crying out that he was no aristocrat, but an Englishman, had bidden them let him pass. But one of the redcaps recognized Rose Annaly, and while his comrades clustered round the prisoners he had run to Citizen -Representative Barice with tbe news. Had he remained a . moment longer he would have seen Dick Manners seize a cudgel from the nearest Terrorist, strike right and left with it, and breaking free of the ruffians, ride madly away. ' fAter him streamed the sens-culottes, tea. Barice, hearing the din, had rushed back to see what had happened. His rage waa greater than his former exultation; and Instantly he bade the swiftest runners of bis army of wretches pursue the fugitives, and. If possible, keep them In sight. ' He, the leader, was the only one who Sosseseed a horse, save thoee who rove the tumbrils In which the plunder and baggage had been heaped, and he ' had no mind to risk a singlehanded encounter with a desperate Englishman. who, he auessed, had somehow outwitted Chazal and carried off hia captive. Th lieutenant, sure that th Terrorists would follow, urged bis tired horse on. Sometimes he would dismount and run beside. Often he glanced back, and In the moonlight he could see dark figures coming In pursuit. Rose shuddered afresh to think of the new peril from which they bad so narrowly escaped. For Bailee would have proved a captor no lese dreadful thaa Chased. He would have made short work of Manners, and then had Rose entirely at his mercy. But it had chanced that 'twas the straggling rearguard amid whieh tbe fugitives had blundered, and the lieutenant's wit and strength and courage had enabled them to map from the trap era it elosed apoa thees. - Stumbling and nearly spent, tho horasat last became weU-nlarn nsotsss - "Let as both go afoot. eald Bee. I fan walk to the coast- At, look, there -le the seal"' .. Aye, there was the sea a sheet ef
plane above. Baggage ia delivered and
taken away through a special subway. From the baggage room trunks are delivered to the railroad tracks below by motor trucks and elevators. Parallel to and connecting with the main waiting room by a wide thoroughfare is the concourse, extending to the width of the station and under the adjoining streets. - This is the vestibule to the tracks; stairs- descend from it to each of the train platforms on the track level. The concourse and adjacent areas are open to the tracks, forming a court yard 340 feet wide by 210 feet broad, roofed by a lofty train shed of Iron and glass. In addition to the entrances to the concourse from the waiting room there are also direct approaches from the streets. Auxiliary to the main concourse and located between it and the tracks is a sub-concourse sixty feet wide, which will be used for exit purposes only. This concourse is eighteen feet above the tracks but is connected with the track level by two stairways and one elevator from each platform. From It staircases and inclines lead directly to the street. Available for traffic in the station are twenty-one tracks, having increased rapidly from the two tubes under the Hudson river. To the east they converge again to the four tunnels. loading to Long Island under the Herjald square district, the busiest spot i in the world. The stone -work of the station, enI closing eight acres of ground was comIpleted on Juluy 31, 1909. To enclose this area necessitated the building of exterior walls aggregating 2,458 feet nearly half a mile in length, and required 490,000 cubic feet of pink granite. In addition there have been utilized inside the concourse 60,000cubic feet of stone. In addition to the granite the construction of the building called for the use of 27,000 tons of steel and 15,000,000 bricks, weighing 48,000 tons.

The lieutenant eould scarce repress a shout of exultation when he saw the boat coming, but be remembered the foe and kept silence. A lone warning cry soon soundea. Savage voice rang, and the fugitivee could clearly bear the tramping of feet aa the Terrorist rushed through the little street of the deserted village. - "As soon aa the boat touches the beach leap In." he whispered.
