Walton's home was at Reve: Beach, Mass., named from the famous ‘‘Ride " He was engaged to be of Paul Rever married to Mrs. Elizabeth M.

At the Omaha club he played a good game of billlards and paid his vouchers promptly. At the Elks club he was admired as a raconteur as much as for his capacity for martinas. He had the entree to many exclusive homes and many Ambitious mammas looked forward to claiming him as son-in-law. Meanwhile he was playing fast and loose with the hearts of trusting damsels. At the Blks' fair last winter he met two young women of good family and paid des- perate court to both, continuing his atten- tions up to the time he left the eity, about three weeks ago. At the same time he was flirting with a “Marguerite,” who shared the fate of Marguerite in Faust. He was arrested, but the case was settled out of ocourt. Takes Girls to Kansas City. June 12 Walton bought three tickets to Kansas City and left, taking with him the two young women he had met at the Elks' fair. June 13 they were registered at the Baltimore hotel in Kaunsas City. June 28 the young women returned to their homes without Walton and here all record of him 1s lost. One report is that he went to Bt. Louls, another that he returned to Boston aud another that he went to the Pacific coast. The young women say they have not heard from him since they parted from him in Kansas City. During all this time the widow at Reyero Beach was worrying. She did not care so much for the loss of the money realized from the sale of the farm, since she had plenty besides (hat, but she yearned for her #weetheart. Having received no answer from hef uumerous letters she sent her partner in the drug business, A. C. Burwell, to Omaha to find him. “I was told to take him back with me at whatever cost,” sald Mr. Burwell. “No matter what he has done with the money, he 1 to g0 back with me, as the time for the wedding is near at hand.

To have turned Cuba over to the hands of its own people immediately after the withdrawal of the Spanish flag would have meant ruin and chaos. We established a government In the island; we established eace and order. We began to provide for he payment of the Cuban troops who had ((\ul?ll against the army of thelr oppress- ors; we Instituted a public school system, modelled upon that which has been 80 po- tent a factor in our own national prog- ress. (Applause.) We cleaned the cities in Cuba for the first time in their history, (Applause) We changed them from belng among the un- healthy, to among the heaithiest of the civiiized world. We introduced a system of orderly justice to succeed one of {rrespon- sible and arbitrative despotism, so that any man, rich or poor, weak or strong, could appeal to courts and know that he would receive his rights. And then when in the fullness of time we felt they could walk alone, we turned over the government to them, and now the beautiful Queen of the Antilles has started on her course as a free republic among the nations of the earth. (Applause.) Bullding of a C But there is one thing our policy toward Cuba has not yet met with its entire frul- tion. It will meet with it. (Applause) The course of the last few years has made more evident than ever that this nation must in time to come have pecuniary interests on the isthmus connecting the two Amer- fcas, and in the waters and among the islands adjacent thereto. (Applause.) Na- tlonally we can occupy the position toward these regions that we do toward others where our interests are far less, and this is doubly true now that congress, with frost wisdom, has provided for the’ build- ng of an interoceanic canal. (Applause.) ‘Euba must ocoupy & pecuilar relation to us in the field of international politics, She must in the larger sense be a part of the general political system in international affairs in which this republic stands as the head. She has assented to that view and in return this nation is bound to give her special economic privi not glven to other nations. (Applause. 1 regret that a matter of reciprocity with Cuba s not already embodied in statute or in treaty, but it will be just as sure as fate. (Loud applause.

There are yet troubles in the Moro coun- {ry, the country ‘of ihe Mohammedan tribes, but in the Philippines among the Fillpinos, among the people who have been in insurrection, peace now relg (Ap- plause.) It may be, I think unlikely, but it 1s pos- sible, that here and there some seeming dead’ coal of insurrection may be for the moment fanned into a live plece of ember and burst in a fitful flame. If so that fiame will be stamped out. (Loud applause.) But speaking broadly and generally pea has come, Our army has received its re- ward. (Applause.) And what was the re- ward of our army? The reward of the con- sclousness of duty well done. (Loud ap- plause.) Our soldlers have fought, have tolled, have struggled, so that when vie- tory came they might turn over the gov- ernment to the civil authoritfes. (Ap- plause) Victory came. Today the proclamation of peace and amnesty has been promulgated and at dhe same time our generals have been notified that the clvil government is supreme in the islands. Does not that speak well, oh, my brethren, for our army, for our troops, that the troops of this people should war hoping for a triumph which Is to put the power (nio the hands of the civil authorl, tles Reduction of the Army, By law we are allowed a maximum of 100,00 men, at 0,000, While this war has gone on we have steadily reduced that army until now by orders promulgated its limit s 66,000, and as & matter of fact we have two of three thousand fewer actually under arms. That speaks well for our Institutions. It speaks well for the triumphs of the poli- with which, ar a nation, we have been identified during the past four years, and, men and women of the United States, it shows how slight was the warrant for the fears expressed by those of little faith a8 1o what would follow, authorizing even the small army that was authorized. (Ap- pla No body of our citizens deserves franker and more generous recognition at the hands of the country than the officers and en- listed men who wear uniforms. (Applause.) For there 18 no body of our citizens which ves more dlsinterested services with less thought of & material reward proportion- ately in any way to them. And mow, my fellow cltizens, I spoke of the task which has confronted those in and in the Philippines as being ene army at a minimum of of the tasks which this generation had to face. It is only one. We have great prob- lems at home to face. 1 am speaking in one of the great industrial centers, not merely of America, but of the world. '(Ap- plnune.( A million people stand grouped In a small radius around this spot where we are now assembled, The growth of your citles within this radius has been one of the riost striking phenomena of this day, and here, therefore, you are brought face to face’ with those ‘problems which affected our entire civilization at the opening of this new century. The tremendous’ rush of our industrial development, which has brought In its train 80 much that s good, and also of neces- ity brought some that I8 evil, the very in- tensity of the progress that has been made has meant that new and infinitely diffi- cult problems have arisen which we must strive 10 solve as best we may. Under our form of government with its great decentralization of power, some of those problems .must be solved through the work of private indlviduals working by themselves; others by the assoclation into organized bodies and into groups of pri- vate citizens, and others yet through the various governmental agencles of munici- pal, state and nation. Dificult Problem to Solve. Especlally great, especially difficult, are the problems caused by the growth' and concentration of great individual, and above all, great corporate fortunes. 1t is fmmensely for the interests of the countr that there should be such individual an corporate wealth as long as it 18 used right, and when not used right then it be- comes a serfous menace and danger. (Ap- plause,) The instruments and methods with which we are to meet these new problems must, in many cases, themselves be new, but the purpose lying behind the use of these methods, of these instruments, must, if we are to succeed, be now, as in the past, eimply in accord with the ‘mmutable laws of order, of justice and of right. We may need, and in my belief will need, new leg- islation conceived in no radical or revo- lutionary spirit, but in & spirit of common sense, common’ honesty and a resolute de- sire {o face facts as they are. (Applause) Weo will need then new legislation, but while laws are important it is Infinitely more important that they should be ad- ministered in accordance with the prin- ciples that have marked honest adminls- tration from the beginning oferecorded his- tory. (Applause.) In the last analysis the most important gepartment of civilized goyernment is the department of justice. Think what -it means. Honesty Better Than Brilliancy. The department of justice—justice that means that each man, Tich or poor, strong or weak, shall have his rights and shal not be allowed to do wrong to his fellows. (Applause.) And you, here of this city, have a right to feel proud of your repre- sentative fin the cabinet, the man under whom we can guarantee that the depart- ment of justice will be such In fact as well as In name. (Loud and contiqued applause. Cries of “Knox! Kno: ‘When it comes to practice, the ounce of performance out- Wefghs the ton of practice. And under Mr. Knox there has been very much more than an ounce of performance. (Applause.) Oh, my fellow countrymen, as we face these infinitely difficult problems let us ever keep in mind that though we need the highest qualities of the intellect in order to work out practical schemes for their solution, yet we need a thousand times more, what counts for many, many, many times as much intellect, “we' need character. (Cries of “That is 1" and applause.) Char- ter, that compound of honesty and cour- age. 'Common sense will avall us more in the long run than any brilllancy on the stump or any ld\'l»inF legislative Mmeans and methods. “The brilllancy is good; we need the intellect; we need the best in- tellect we can get; we need the intelli- enc, but we need more character; we need onesty and resolute courage. (Applause.) Character is Most Needed. Wa need what Mr. Knox has shown—the character that will refuse to be hurried into any unwise or precipitate movement by any lamor, whether historical or dem- agogic, and on the other hand the charac- ter that will refuse to be frightened out of the movement which he thinks it Is right to undertake, by any pressure, still lesa by any thres: implied. (Crles ‘of “Hear! "'and applause.) Gentlemen, we have great problems: we can only solve them by decrees. We' o only solve them by doing wgil each teular bit of work as it comes up for lation. Much can be done along the lin of supervision and regulation of the great industrial combinations which have become so marked a factor in our civilization, but if we recklessly try without proper thought, without proper caution, to do 00 much we shall do nothing, or else we shall work Tuln that will be felt most acutely among those of our citizens who are most help. less. It is no easy task to deal with great in- dustrial tendencies. To deal with them in a_spirit_of presumption is rash folly, and above all to deal with them in a spirit of envy and hatred and malice would be to invite disaster, a disaster which would be 50 widespread that this country would rock to its foundations. The Mississippl some- times causes Immense damage by flood, If you cannot dam it and stop the floods, you can regulate them and control them by ovees. You can regulate and control the current; you can eliminate its destructive feature¢, but you can do it only by study- ing what a current is and what your own powers are. (Applause.) Special, but Wise Laws. It {s just exactly so In dealing with the reat tendencles of our industrial civiliza- fon. We cannot turn back the wheels of progress. If we could it would mean the absolute destruction of just such industrial centers as this. We wiil either do nothing or we will do damage if we strive igno- rantly to achleve the impossible. But that fact does not excuse us for failure to strive to do what s possible. Special legisiation is needed; some of that legislation m: come through municipalities, some thro states, soma through the national govern- ment, but above and beyond all legisla- tion 'we need honest and ‘fearless admin- istration of the laws as they are on the statute books. (Applause.) MHonest and fearless administration of those laws in the interest neither of the rich man as such nor of the poor man as such, but in the interest of exact and equal justice to all alike, and such administra- tlon you will surely have while Mr. Knox remains as attorney general in the cabinet at Washington. (Applause.) After the address the German singers sang ‘‘America,” the vast audience jolning in the words of the final verse. Following this, out of compliment to the German an- cestry of the distinguished guest, “The Lord's Day” was sung In German. Benediction is Pronounced. The benediction was then pronounced by Rev. Dr. T. N. Boyle, presiding clder of the Pittsburg Methodist Episcopal conference, and was as follows: Our Father, Who art in heaven, Thou Who hast been our help in ages past, and Thou Who art our hope for years to come, we approach Thee with reverence, and in the name of Thy son, our Lord Jesus Christ, we humbly implore Thy blessings upon our free and happy nation, upon Thy servant, the president of the United States, his cabinet. our legislators, the judiclary, the entire citizenshlp, all soldiers and safl: ors at home or abroad. As & nation may we continue under the guldance of Thy hand, that we may al- ways be worthy of Thy protection, and may perform our part In the establish- ment of ‘popular and constitutional ernments in all continents and in all the islands of the sea. Hasten the time when all that this day means to us may be vouchsated to and experienced by the en- tire human_race. May Thy bounteous mercy be extended to Great Britain while she emerges from the shadow of the dark cloud that has been hanging over her. May her ruler be fully restored, coronated and relgn in righteous- ness. May the peace of God, which passeth un- derstanding, keep the hearts and minds of one and all in _the knowledge ard love of God, through Christ Jesus, Amen. The exercises consumed just one hour. The president immediately entered his car- riage, and surrounded by the Sheridan troop was driven to the residence of H. C Frick on Homewood avenue, where he was tendered a luncheon and reception, which was jolned in by & number of prominent Pittsburg captains of industry. As the president left the park Battery B fired the national salute of forty-five guns from a tall hilltop. When the presidential party reached the Frick residence a short rest was after which the guests, numbering about fifty, sat down to luncheon. It was about 2:30 when they arose from the tables and the balance of the afternooy was spent in an informal reception, at which many Pittsburg business men met the president. The president and’ party will remaln at Mr. Frick's house until about 5:30, when they will be driven to the Hotel Schenley to participate in a dinner to be given by Attorney General Koox. Skortly after the president had left the park @ heavy ralnsiorm came up, com- | taken, | pletely drenching the immense crowd, causing much inconvenience, but otherwise doing no damage. Just before the president left the Frick residence for the dinmer at the Schenly hotel he reviewed the Sheridan troop, which had been his escort all day. He thanked the officers and men for their faithtul dis- charge of duty and then shook hands with all the members of the troop. The trip from the Frick residence to the Schenly hotel waé without special incident, except for the general and generous cheers which greeted the president as he rode along the streets. Valuable Time Saved. Slight injuries often disable a man and cause several days’' loss of time, and when blood poison develops, sometimes result in the loss of & hand or limb.

PROBLEM FOR THE BARBERS Question of How Convicts C Under Law Being Dis in Minnesota. Come a S8T. PAUL, Minn, July 4~A curious legal complication has arisen at the state prison through the practice of assigning one or more convicts to shave the officlals and inmates of the institution. The barbers’ board law requires that every barber must get a state license and pass an examination &s to his personal hebits and moral character, as well as to his skill with the razor, Naturally a conviet could hardly con- vince the examiners of good charaeter. Attorney General Douglass, to whom the legal question has been submitted % the prison barber must have a license, the same as any one else, and it looks though the prison would have to hire a civillan barber. The question was brought up by the unlon barbers of Stillwater. They referred the matter to the State Parbers’ board, and Secretary Martin of that body consulted with Attorney General Douglass, with the result that the legal information above quoted was elicited. ———————————— The only Cereal Coffee made from nature’s own pro- duct—California figs, prunes and grain — abso- lutely free irom artificial matter is FIGPRUNE Cereal It is the ideal food drink for childre¢n because the strength and health giving rropcrtlel of the grain and ruit are in a state of solu- tion and are therefore quickly absorbed.
