Chief Justice Fuller Sees Evidences of Returning Prosperity. Chief Justice Fuller on his arrival in Bos- ton from his recent trip to Augusta, Me., expressed himself as well pleased at the cordial reception given him in the pine tree state. In reply to the question of the universal business prosperity, the chief jus- tice sald: “In and about Chicago business has taken a decided turn fgr the better. I am not at liberty to state ‘as to the effécts of the late turn in politics concerning the business boom, but, from my own personal knowledge, business in general mercantile Imes, which has suffered much in late years, has picked up wonderfully, and we can truly say that an era of prosperity is at_hand.” Chief Justice Fuller went to Chicago. ———_-e-_____ Lieut.

Assistant Secretary Roosevelt acted as a watchman at the Navy Department for a short time the other afternoon. He had been detained in his office until about 6 o'clock, and as, his. messenger had gone, he went down stairs to find his bicycle him- self. The building was deserted by every- body except the watchmen, and Mr. Roose- velt did not know exactly how to get his wheel. It was somewhere In the basement, but he didn’t know how to get there. He appreachéd the watchman who sat at the door of the east entrance, and in his im- petuous way toki Rim to go and get his bicycle for him. The. watchman didn’t know who he was and answered back sharply for him to go and get it himself. ‘There- upon, Mr. Roosevelt introducéd himself and aid he didn't" know the way to the basement. Again he asked the faithful guardian to go after his wheel and again the latter dec! as it was against orders for him to leavo. his post. He relented, however, when the assistant secretary in- sisted and promised to keep watch for him during his absence. Mr. Roosevelt's vigil lasted only a few mirutes, as the watchman soon returned with his wheel, and enabled him to go on his way rejoicing. In speak- ing of the matter today, Mr. Roosevelt said nobody attempted to pass him while he kept watch, and all he had had to do was to look at the sky through the open doorway. .

Grines Weighs Over 500 Pounds—Had a Bicycle Trip Abroad. J. W. Grines, the 540-pound product of Higginsport, Ohio, who has become so ac- customed to being looked at and talked about that he does not care, arrived in New York on the St. Paul Saturday, home- ward bound from his European bicycle tour. : He wore his bicycle suit, and in the car- go of the steamship were two machines made especially for his use. He moved around the pier in lively fashion for a big body, attending to his baggage and carry- ing a cane the while as thick as an ordi- nary man’s wrist, extra long, and weigh- ing five pounds. Grines is twenty-eight years old, 6 fect 4 inches in height, measures 61 inches around the chest, 68 inches ‘around the waist and 42 inches around the thigh. While born in Higginsport, he livcs in Newport, Ky., and spends most of his time at Cleveland, Ohio. He left fifty-pounds of flesh on the roads of Ireland, Wales, Eng- land, Scotland, Belgium, Holland, Ger- many and France, but the difference, he says, doesn’t show. He is stopping tem- porarily at the Cosmopolitan 2° Hostilities Buried Undcr Flowers.

Pleasing Program Presented—Chil- dren im Bright Attire — Flowers, Smiling Faces and Bright Eyes. | Children’s day was celebrated in all of the Protestant churches of the city, and | in some the exercises were extremely in- | teresting. The children in nearly all cases wore gala attire, the majority being dress- ed in white, and the churches were dec- orated with a lavish hand in honor of the rising generation. At the Eastern Presbyterian Church the children, after having assembled in the basement rooms, marched into the audi- | tortum in a body. Rev. T. C. Easton pre- | Sided, and Mr. C, B. McBride, superinien- dent of the Sunday school, led the re- spensive readings. The singing was unde! the leadership of Chorister R. F. Harvey. All scholars who had recited perfectly the golden texts for six months, were. pre- sented with a handsome copy of the Bible each. The services at the Church formation, although brief, ing. preper, in white. chestra of young people, headed ‘by Clark, leader; Miss Freyhold, pianist, and Miss Schott, ‘celloist, adding 1 - to the enjoymert Ss al were sung by The music was excel and Lr. ort address, Par- Congre- at that inly mad le up ef songs and re s, wife of a missiona interesting address, man delive! mon.

One of the features was the offering made by the little ones of pennies which they had saved up for the occasion. The services at the E ‘hurch were held last eve and were in the nature of a concert. Mr. Burton H. Winslow had the program in charge. Rev. J. J. Muir, pastor of the church, preached on the work of the American Baptist Pub- lication Society.

The pastor admin- istered the rite of infant baptism. Brookland Schoo The Methodist and Baptist churches of Brookland celebrated the day according to usage. The churches were filled with flow- ers and potted plants, so that at times the little tots were almost hidden from view.
