TheCampaign Investigating Committee Wrangling ; About Clapp Bill. f National News Association) I NEW YORK, Dec. 13. Unrecognized by a large crowd in the Grand Central depot and greeted only by Theodore Douglas Robinson and his son, , Douglas Robinson, Jr., .and a few news-' paper men. Col. Theodore Roosevelt arrived this morning from Chicago where he was the dominating figure at the two days organization conference of the Progressive party.

CHARLES FAVORS NATIONAL ROAD

The proposed national highway from coast to coast would greatly benefit this city if it is operated through I here is the belief of City Engineer J Charles. Mr. Charles said: "The National road should be the route and it should not go through Chicago as some of the associations wish it to do. If the people of middle Indiana let this opportunity get away from them they are very foolish and careless. Many tourists will pass over that road and realize what a line city Richmond is, who would otherwise not know it was on the map. It is up to the people and if they wish the road way through here they will have to fight to get it through just as other organizations are fighting to get it through other places." Boston's Spinning School. Comparatively few people know that tht-re was ouce a "spinning school" on Boston common. Winsor's "Memorial History of Boston" records that upon the arrival in Boston of some Irish spinners and weavers a spinning craze took possession of the town, "and the women, young and old. high and tow. rich and poor. Hocked Into the spinning school, which for want of better quarters was set up in the common, in the open air. Here the whir of their wheels was beard from morning to night." Thirty-five years later the Society For Encouraging Industry and Employing tbe Poor again used the common as a spinning scnoof:aboiit 300 young women appearing tbere, seated at their wheels, as a sort of example and advertisement. voa aro tr. , . .aacne. ition. inilu'eiiioa, ciijintve c.-eath or at ase arising from stomach trouble, get a. & 1 bottle of I r.

ERY IS E Columbus Jones, Negro, Was Found Dead in Bed. Columbus Jones, colored, living at the corner of North Fourteenth and H streets, was found dead in bed this morning. Jones has been suffering from tuberculosis and hia immediate death was the result of a hemorrhage of the lungs. His death was one of the saddest cases that recently has been reported to the authorities. He saved enough money to rent a small shack on Fourteenth street and has been renting some of the rooms to other colored men. He has been confined to his bed for several weeks and through the day had to remain alone, as his roomers were at work. His sufferings were great according to the physician who attended him. Often he had nothing to eat except what was brought to him by his associates. THE WAY TO LIVE. Let me but live my life from year to year. With forward face and unrelenting soul. Not hurrying to nor turning from the goal. Not mourning for the tilings that disappear In the dim past nor holding back in fear From what the future veiis, rmt with a whole And happy heart that pays the toll To you and age and travels on with cheer. Henry van Dyke.
