I thank you very much for this gift:

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 26.—Never have
more perfect conditions prevailed since
the op* ilng of the World’s Fair than
those that marked the day, which was
devoted to a tour through the exposi
tion by President Roosevelt, accompa
nied by Mrs. Roosevelt, Miss Alice
Roosevelt, and members of the pres!
'dent’s party. It was strictly a day of
pleasure and not the slightest Incident
arose to mar the perfect enjoyment of
the occasion. The heralded announce
ment that the nation’s chief executive
arould visit the exposition drew tre
mendous tnrongs, and to guard him
from possibie danger that might men
ace him secret service men, soldiers
and police guards abounded, but they
tad comparatively little to do In pre
rfCivlng order.
Thought It Marvelous.
"This Is marvelous,” said the presi
dent of the exposition. "It Is beyond
description and exceeds my fondest ex.
f etation*. I have had the best time
ever had in my life and I have seen
more than I ever expected to see In
one day’s time."
From 10 o'clock In the forenoon until
d in the evening the distinguished vis
itors, following nn arranged schedule,
hurried from one building, to the next,
from one part of the grounds to an
other, and overlooked nothing of in
terest. From the start until the end
of the tour Mrs. Roosevelt and Miss
Alice accompanied the president, and
fatigue was forgotten In the enjoyment
of the day.
The first speech of the day was made
In the French pavilion In response to
the welcome accorded by Commission
cr General Geruld. President Roose
. velt said:
A Toast Proposed,
"One of youi publicists has used the
expression of the ’peace of justice’ and
3 om particularly pleased at what you
said ns to the efforts of this country
to bring about throughout the world
the 'peace of Justice.’
"I wish to propose a toast to Prcsl
dent Loubet and the French nation,
and may the bonds of friendship that
have ever united them with the United
Rtates of America be even tightened
Jn the future."
At the German pavilion Commission
er General Lewaid presented the pres
Ident with a "pokul," a massive metal
goblet from Aachen. It contain
ed a liberal draught of Rhine wine
and ns the president sipped this the
donor explained the history of the gob
let and its contents.
In the picturesque Chinese pavilion,
President Roosevelt was presented
with a painting, nn orlentlal figure 300
years old. Mrs. Roosevelt was the re
cipient of a curiously carved and In
laid box. In response to the fellclta
tlons of the commissioner from China.
Mr. Wong. President Roosevelt pro
posed this toast:'
Wishes Chinese Well.
"May prosperity and unity attend
the Chinese."
A great crowd lined the roadwny
leading to the imperln! Japanese gar
dens. As the president’s carriage came
opposite the crowd, among which were
many Japanese, he was greeted with
cries of "Banzai"
Ho responded In kind with the Japs
neee word "Nippon." Proceeding
the tea house, the party entered and
partook of refreshments. As the pres
Ident stood drinking his tea on one o
the balconies two noted Japanese fen
cere Indulged in a match for his bene
fit. He expressed his pleasure at the
skill of the men. ,
The party completed their visit
the national pavilion soon after mid
day. when luncheon was served In the
west pavilion. This occupied about an
hour and was purely Informal. At the
conclusion President D. R. Francis
arose and holding up a glass of cham
pagne said: "I desire to offer a toast
that will not require a verbal response,
because we are simply resting and
sight-seeing and not devoting our
selves to speeches. I desire that this
toast be drunk standing. In honor
one who exerts a very potential influ
ence over the policy and the destiny
of this country—the lady who presides
aver the White House."
Drank to Mrs. Roosevelt
The guests were on their feet In
slantly and merrily clinked glasses
a* they drank to Mrs. Roosevelt, who,
amlling. bowed her appreciation, sit
ting surrounded by American Beauty
roses, a bunch of which she carried
with her as she entered her carriage
to resume the day’s touring.
• A hurried visit was msde to the ag
ricultural building and thence to the
Roosevelt cabin, which sheltered the
j resident in former years on the ranch.
He evinced the greatest Interest In the
rid log structure and pointed out
Mrs. Roosevelt and Miss Alice a buf
falo skin hanging within as having
mme from the first buffalo he tut;
ever silled.
The rest of the day was spent In the
Filipino reservation. Guards
cleared the area of visitors and the
tire place was given over to Inspec
tion by the presidential party.
During the hour and a half spent
In the Filipino exposition, every por

In the Visayan village the party was
entertained in the native theatre by
dancing and singing. At the conclu
sion of the exercises Miss Teresa Ra-
mioz was introduced to the president
and presented a handsomely carved
cane. The president took the cane
and said:
"In expressing my thanks for this
beuutiful cane I desire to say that I
want you to go back to your homes
and say that this government will do
all that it can for tho mental and moarl
welfare and the happiness and pros
perity of the Filipinos,"
Another Gift.
In the Bagabo village a silver dish
was presented and the president re
sponded briefly in accepting.
With Mrs. Roosevelt and Miss Alice
trudging at his side the president hur
ried from place to place, stopping only
long enough tot get a general Idea of
the exhibits, applauding the constabu
lary drill and expressing his pleasure
at all he saw.
Just as the party was crossing the
Bridge of Spain over the moat before
tho walled city In leaving the Phlllp-
plhe exposition, President Roosevelt
suddenly halted in the middle of the
bridge and said to MaJ. William H.
Johnston, commandant of the Philip
pine scouts:
"I want to congratulate you upon
the remarkably clean nnd effective
drill of your battalion, which was very
fine and impressive."
"You have Secretary of War Taft
to thank, as we are all his proteges,"
quickly replied Mnjor Johnston, smil
ing.
"Yes, I know," snld the president. "I
see now how much good Secretary Taft
did in the Philippines. I will make an
effort to have your battalion attend tho
inauguration in Washington."
Major Johnston thanked the presi
dent warmly, assuring him that all tho
scouts would be glad to attend, as they
had seen a little of America. And de
sired to see more.
President Pleased.
The visitors entered carriages and
were driven to Machinery Hall. From
Machinery Hall the visitors were hur
ried into the electricity building, from
the vernnda of whlch"they viewed tho
special pyrotechnic display on Festival
Hall nnd tho Illumination of the Cns-
cadea with redflre. The president was
greatly pleased with the beautiful ef
fects produced by the vnri-eolored
lights and warmly expressed his ap
preciation. This closed the day’s pro
gram.
Tonight President Roosevelt was the
guest of honor at the banquet tendered
by the exposition management.

NEW YORK. Nov. 26.—The serious
Illness of Edward Dressier, one of tho
Jurors, which was reported at the
opening of court today, may necessi
tate a new trial in the case of Nan Pat
terson, the former show girl who is
charged with the murder of Caesar
Young. An affidavit from the sick Ju
ror’s physician, which was presented to
Justice Davis, said that the patient
had suffered a stroke of apoplexy, anfl
that his condition is serious. As this
was the third uttack fear was at onco
expressed that Dressier might not b>i
able to resume his duties and the work
done during the past two weeks would
be set at naught.
Miss Patterson was In court when
the adjournment was announced. She
expressed keen disappointment at the
sudden and unexpected Interruption In
the progress of the trial. *T suppose
this will mean a new trial," she said,
ns she was being led back to her cell
in the Tombs. "I am sorry the Juror
is ill, both for his sake and for my own.
I was sure the Jury would acquit me.
If there must be a new trial I hope it
will come at once."
Rumors Regarding Smith.
One of the rumors current today was
that J. Morgan Smith, Nan Patterson’s
brother-in-law, who fled after he ha.l
been subpoenaed to appear before tho
grand Jury, had been found nnd was
locked up at police hendquarters. This
report was later denied by the polico,
however. The prosecution hns «ept up'
on unremitting search for Smith uvr
since he disappeared. They chrage
that It was Hmitn who purchased t ie
revolver with which Young was shot
and that ho would prove to bo their
strongest witness If he could be found.
Already Smith’s photograph hns been

he reported on his work. The bishop
asked tho number of conversion*. Many
of the pastors reported good revivals
and large gains In membership, ull the
Atlanta pastors making good roportn.
Rev. J. H. Jenkins of Grace chureli,

Revs. C. W. Byrd, U G. Johnson. TI.
M. Quillian, B. IL England, who have

splendid reports for their eharges.
These brethren will receive now ap

The reports show that the church
has enjoyed a great prosperity this
year. More has been raised than in
previous years. Many new churches
have been built by First ehurch. At-

Mr. Rand asserts that some of the de
fendant’s witnesses before they went
to the office of Abraham I«evy and vol •
unteered their services for Miss Put-
terson, called on him and declared that
they had seen the shooting, nnd that
the actress held the weapon in her
hand. At that time, he says, these sto.
ries were considered hysterical nnd the
prosecution cast the offers aside Late
ly, however, so many eye-witnesses
have come forward, says Mr. Rand,
that It hecomes necessary to take some
steps to rebut their testimony and a
special detail of detectives has been as
signed to Investigate the stories of the
witnesses as quickly us their Identity
Is disclosed.
MUKDEN. Nov. 25. via Pekin, Nov.
26.—The lapse of six weeks without
fighting on any large scale, confirming
the belief that the opposing armies
have relaxed for the winter, together
with the unexpected demonstration of
force which the Russians have been
able to make since the depletion of
their army as the result of the fighting
on the Bhakhe river, emphasizes con
clusively the failure of the Japoites*
to (Srevcnt the assembly of a larg)
Russian army In Manchuria before
spring, thus defeating the strategy of
the Japanese and their most olatuible
plans ofr the earliest occupation of
Manchuria.
This outcome, taken In connection
with the general situation, appears to
guarantee that with the opening of
spring there will begin a contest far
more terrible than any yet fought, and
points to the termination of the war
in the next campaign. It is still pos
sible that there will be a general at
tack during the winter, but the weather
in now broken and uncertain and seem
ingly renders it impossible for the
troops of either army to abandon their
present shelters.
The hostilities are now character
ized by individual efforts of a most
daring and dangerous character. One
outcome of the close relation between
the Russians and Japanese along the
8hakhe river has been the occasional
blowing up of houses by the opposing
outposts and the soloing of their occu
pants.
Chinese authorities have taken pre
liminary steps to bring grain from
the north and to store It for the
of the starving farmers and villagers.
This action was brought about by the
destitution which baa been prevalent
some twenty miles behind the Russian
army, which la commandeering
grain and other food supplies, ana
because of the fear that the army will
move north again.
Russian speculators are confident
that the army will bold lu cwn sad ar

The Anbury Remounting association
is the latest society organized In Geor
gia Methodism. It In probably the only
association of the kind In the world.
It was organized hist night.
The purpose of it In to remount or
furnish horses to such preachers ns
may lose their horses provided they aro
members of the association. Home of
the brethren were induced to see tho
humorous side of this movement and
great deal of fun wan had during
the meeting.
Grew Facetious.
One proposed that a committee on
horse memories be appointed and that
a lodge of scarecrows be held each year
for the deceased horses. Another wish
ed to know what would be done in case
member lost a mule Instead of u
horse?
All recognized the value of such nn
organization. It means much to the
circuit rider who loses his horse and
Is not able to buy another. The move
ment was started two years ago by
Rev. B. P. Searcy, who until this con
ference, has had entire control of it
and has done nil of the work.
Since its beginning eight or nine
preachers have lost their horses nnd
through this horse fund have been able
to remount themselves. Each member
pays GO cents when a horse dies nnd
the losing member gets,$100.

Occurrences in ths Central City
Just a Quarter of a Century
Ago Today.
PHILADELPHIA. Nov. 2$^Wcst
Point today defeated tho Annapolis
football eleven by tho score of 11 to 0
—two touchdowns and one gonl. The
score does not properly indicate the
relative strength of the two elevens,
for probably not in the history of tho
great university game have two teams
been more evenly matched.
The first touchdown for tho army
was the result of a fumble by one of
the navy backs, but the brtlllnncy
with which Tipton, the army’s center,
took advantage of the error hns nevor
been excelled, If equalled, on a foot
ball gridiron. The game had been In
progress less than ten minutest the
navy had shown unexpected strength
In defense, while the army’s much
vaunted offense had crumbled
naught. With the ball in midfield,
Smith, for tho navy, was hurled back
loss. Spencer also failed nnd
Howard kicked to the army’s 3R yard
West Point found the navy lliv
a Gibraltar and Torney kicked to mid
field. There .were three Annapolis men
under the punt, hut when all had been
thrown the ball rolled off to one side
of tho mass of players.
Tipton’s Crest Piny,
Tipton, coming on from behind, with
muscle and brain both In good working
condition, kicked the hall toward tho
navy’s goal. Pursued by a half a dozen
navy nien he had no time to stoop and
secure the sphere, but rushing on ho
again kicked It. His aim was accu
rate and the ball was driven nearer
the navy’s goal. When within fifteen
yards of the coverted line Tipton knew
that a touchdown for the army was In
evitable. Ah he drew near to the goal
he began to loosen his burdensome
headgear nnd nose guard that he might
better be enabled to locale the ball
with more accuracy. A third kick and
and the pigskin was behind the navy’s
gonl, Tlptsn lying upon it. Hitch de
liberation nnd rare Judgment In a mo
ment so trying won truly remarkable
It was probably the turning point for
victory for West Point. Up to this
time the Annapolis boys had really
outplayed their heavier opponents nnd.
on the exchange of punts, assisted by
a stiff wind, had gradually forced West
Point nearer her own goal lino.
Doe missed the goal nnd the scoro
stood 6 to 0 In favor of the army.
A Bittsr Defense.
Probably never In tho memory of tho
oldest football enthusiast has a moro
hitter defense been witnessed than that
put up by tho navy during tho next
twenty minutes of piny. On nn ex*
change »f punts the army secured tho
ball on tho navy’s GO yard line. From
this point It required twenty-two min
utes for tho army to force the hall to
tho navy’s goal and this with n gift
of five yards for off-side.
Only once during tho game wns the
army goal threatened. A few minutes
before the dose of tho gaino*the nnvy,
by brilliant line burring by Doherty
and Oortnley. the latter having taken
Kmlth’s position at full back, rareled
the ball from their own 36 yard line
to within 20 yards nt West Point’s
goal, whore It was lost on downs. In
this half the advantage. If there really
was any, favored the navy.
Rocioty recognized Che West Polnt-
Annnpolls game ns the proper football
function. Not in the history at tho
University of Pennsylvania hns such
an immense crowd witnessed a foot
ball contest In this city, with the ex
ception of the game which was attend
ed by President Roosevelt two years
ago. Tile Ideal weather was an live
live for those who cured to view the
contest and It is estimated that there
were over 30,000 persons present.
The Blue and ths Gray.
On the south stand the army gray
stood out prominency among the mul
ti-colored hats and gowns of those who
surrounded the West Point section,
while on the north stand the navy blue
banked on either side by a veritable
flower garden made the spectacle brll
llant indeed. It seemed us Uiouith the
war nnd navy departments and the for
eign legations had been transferred
from the national capital to this city.
In the forefront and attracting the
oat attention was his imperial hlgh-
•ss. Prince Fushiml. Tho prince and
his suite entered the grent oval through
the gymnaftlum building. When tho
The secretary of the navy sat about

Mrs, Durand. Miss Durand nnd Miss
Taft. Heated In tho other boxes were
retarles and members of various
foreign embassies.
Tho scene which previous to tho
game had been Inspiring was turned
Into a grand pageant after tho battle.
Tho army Inds preceded by their band
nnd followed by thousands of persons
lreled the field time and again, whl e
the navy band was busily engaged ren
dering "The Army and Nnvy Forever.”
At the close the army lads formed n
huge circle, extending from one side of
the gridiron to tho other, with a flak
guardian in tho center and made a
grand rush for tho emblem which all
are taught to - honor. It was tho cul

Carlisle 38; Haikoll 4.
HT. LOUIS, Nov. 26—After three
and n half minutes’ piny, during which
the Haskell Indians fairly ran th«
Carlisle braves off their feet, and P.
Hauser, Haskell’s right end, kicked a
field goal from the eighteen-yard line,
tho vaunted speed of the Western In
dians spent Itself ugnlnat the brawn
uml muscle of the Eastern redmen
nnd the latter’s heavy, plunging hacks
tore through Haskell's line almost at
will, folded the opposing Hue hack
upon Itself when Haskell had the hall
nnd plied up a score of 38 to I before
tho end of the second half.
With Ideal football weather nnd
many strong supporters of the govern
ment Indian schools in the city, b«-
rddoH the interest aroused In the con
test by non-partisan lovers of the
sport contributing to the success of
the game, there were more than 12,000
persons in the World's Fair stadium
when Libby kicked off.
After the spectacular dash of tho
Haskell team, the Carlisle graldirnn
warriors gained their true form and
plunged through the Haskell fine,
