SRR Warring Factions of To wns people Unite for the Occasion. | OYSTER BAY, L L, June 27.—President Roosevelt's homecoming for the summer | was made the occasion of a fete here. | His reception was notable for its enthu- siastic cordiality and likewise for its vigor. The latter quality was due to B.I slight factional difference among (hez townspeople, the result belng that the | President was accorded a double recep- | tion. The Oyster Bay Board of Trade, | headed by President J. Morgan Grifiith, had planned an elaborate demonstration, and ex-Assemblyman Maurice Townsend had arranged another. Both were carried out according to programme, but as both were directed to the same end the friend- | 1y rivalry between the factions resulted | only tn adding to the enthusiasm of the | reception. President Roosevelt and his party were met at Long Island City by a committee headed by J. C. Travers, president of the | Oyster Bay Town Board, and escorted home on a special train, the President occupying the private car of President | Baldwin of the Long' Island Ralflroad. Under smiling skies the President stepped | from his car at 4:30 o'clock, and while the cannon crashed out its salute and the people cheered he was escorted by the re- | ception committee to the town hall. The| march to the hall was between lines of school children, each child waving a tiny | American flag. Business houses and resi- dences throughout the town were hand- | somely decorated with flags and bunting, | ana scores of large American ensigns swung across the principal streets. Arrived at the hall, President Roosevelt unveiled the Civil War trophy gun pre- sented to the people of Oyster Bay by the Navy Department. Then, standing on a | chair placed on the steps leading to the | hall, he delivered a brief address to the | crowd of his friends and neighbors | massed in front of the building. The | President said: “My Friends and Neighbors: I thank | you heartily, more heartily than I can express, for your coming out to greet me I wonder if some of you remember what I shall never forget, the way that you came to greet me nearly five years | ago when I got home from Santiago. (Cheers.) 1 thought some of you would | remember it. “Since I last saw you across the continent. I | from the shore of the across the Mis of the Gr 1 have been ve traveled Atlantic Ocean issippi Valley, by the side | Lakes, over the Rocky | Mountains to the shore of the Pacific, and | the thing that has struck me most in that | irney of nearly 15,000 miles right across | continent has been the essential unity | of our people—that wherever an American President goes here in the United States | he feels himself to be at home among those who feel as he does and who have | me ideals to which he can appeal ‘And now.I am coming to you, whom I know so well. The older among you I have known for some thirty yearsand over, and children are now growing up here, ust as 1 grew up, and I hope they will do better in keeping out of mischief. And | natur: it pleases me very greatly to h ou show me the feeling that you have this afternoon. When 1 get back here I am not the President, I am your old neighbor and friend, and in welcoming all of you I want to say I am pleased to ce here the children. As you know, I be- lieve in children and I am very glad that the children of Oyster em to be all right in quality and quantity. | *I shall just say again, my friends, my neighbors, those with whom I am knit by such close ties, I thank you from my rt and I am deeply touched by your greeting me this afternoon.’ At the conclusion of the speech the President entered thehall and greeted Mrs, Roosevelt and his children, who had been | in waiting there for him. While he was | holding an informal reception in the hall, | the school children were drawn up in front of the building and under the lead- ership of bands sang an original song of | welcome to the President. Attracted by the singing the President appeared on the steps and, to the delight of the children, requested them to repeat song. It was repeated with a vim, the great crowd of the children’s elders joining in the chorus. Mrs. Roosevelt | stood in the entrance to the hall during the nging. | “Earlier in the forenoon Mrs. Roosevelt | | had been escorted to the hall by the chil- dren and a great procession of residents, | not of Oyster Bay, but of all of this part | of Long Island. She then reviewed the procession from the steps of the hall. At the conclusion of the ceremonies at the hall, the President and his family en- tered carriages and, still under the es- | cort of the committees drove te their home at Sagamore Hill. | The President’s trip from Washington was without notable incident, except that | train was held up in the Jersey City yards by the derzilment of two or three | ars of a freight train. This delay amounted only to a few minutes, | —e———— | Pioneer Passes From Life. SAN DIEGO, June 2.—Captain R. K.

TOPEKA, XKans., June 27.—A great storm of criticism has been caused by the failure of the Legislature to appropriate money for the rellef of the flood suffer- ers. In answer to attacks being made upon him Governor Bailey to-night said: “I have been too long in politics to | worry over these matters. When I feel that I have done the right thing under the best information I have, that settles it, and 1 am content to take tne conse- quences. “I also desire to say at this time that the demand for an appropriation has come up since the Legislature finished its work. When I was trying to decide what was best to be done the newspapers of- fered no advice. When I declared in op- position to an appropriation the papers and the people remained silent. When the Legislature decided to make no ap- propriation a few men with a political graft to work started a back-fire on me. 1 am not worrying about the outcome.” e o Guatemala Sends Sympathy.

The district round a village in Stafford- shire is inhabited by a sturdy race of col- Jjers and ironworkers. Some years ago a wager was made concerning one of these worthies, whose eating feats were the ad- miration of his =acquaintances, that he would at a sitting eat a roast goose, to- gether with a reasonable quantity of veg- etables, and at the rame time drink a gallon of beer. The event was decided one Saturday evening at a well known hostelry, the bird, vegetables and ale being duly con- sumed. When being escorted homeward in triumph by one of his backers the hero of the evening plaintively remarked to his friend: \ “Bill, doan’ thee tell my owd woman as T et that ere guse, or else her woan’ gie me no supper.”’—Tid-Bits. ———————— A Peerless Gem.

RATSING TROOFS FOR MANGRURIA Russia to Send More Soldiers to Guard Railway. ST. PETERSBURG, June 27.—A mnew trans-Amur Railroad battalion is being organized in Turkestan for service in Manchuria. LONDON, June 27.—The St. Petersburg correspondent of the Daily Chronicle says the Manchurian Railway authorities have completed arrangements for through railway communication between Moscow and Port Arthur. The Russians, he adds, evidently intend to exploit the mineral re- sources of Manchuria to their own ad- vantage. The Manchurian Railway hasbeen given the right to work all coal mines situated within thirty miles right and left of the line for its entire length, and even out- side this limit all concessions must first be offered to the Manchurian Rallway Company. e Airships as a Possibility. The subject of aerial navigation is one of never-falling Interest, particularly at this time, when many engineers agree that the problem is one whose solution may be expected in the near future. Al- most all engineers, however, further agree that the solution will never come along the lines of the dirigible balloon; and that the many interesting experiments with so- called airships, which rely upon the gas bag to overcome the attraction of gravi- tation, while drawing popular interest to the subject of air navigation, do mothing toward advencing the time when real air- ships will become a possibility.—Aeronau= tical World. THE ELECTRO-CHEMIC X-RAY » CANCER It you have a suspicious sore or lump, this free examination will tell you exactly what it is. It will also probably demonstrate how you can be promptly cured without a surgical oper- ation. No one suffering from a cancer, a tu- mor, lupus, or any sore that medicines will not cure, should submit to a surgical operation be- fore having a thorough Electro-Chemic exam- ination. If an Electro-Chemic speclalist says “‘operation Is necessary,” then have it done. CONSUMPTION It you have the first symptom of Consump- tion, don't delay a minute. Find out for sure if you have it. The Electro-Chemic X-Ray ex- amination detects Consumption in the very be- ginning. It is free now. So if you cough a Tittle, if you have little pains in the chest or under the shoulder blades, if you feel tired and worn out, and if you are losing flesh, and especially if Consumption runs in any branch of your family, don’t delay. The Electro- Chemic X-Ray and Oxygen treatment cures every case of Consumption In the early stages, and cases far advanced are cured by it. yond all shadow of doubt it is the most suc- Cessful treatment yet discovered for Consump- tion, Catarrh, Asthma, Bronchitis and all kin- dred diseases. DEAFNESS This free examination will tell positively whether a case of deafness is curable or not. It does not matter how long you may have been deaf, if the ear drums are good and if the nerves of hearing are not totally paralyzed there is always great posgibilities from proper treatment, and recently there has been in- vented an electrical appliance with which deaf mutes have been able to hear. Electricity is doing wonders for the deaf and for those who suffer from distracting head and ear no Come in and let us give you a free treatment, just to show you pleasant, how painless it is, and how. it reaches the very foundation of the ear mechantsm. A FRE EXAMINATION = TREATMENT Do you know what this means? It means that the most ex- pert physicians in the use of the X-Ray and other advanced and scientific electrical treatment, in ferer calling at the Electro-Che absolutely free of charge. regularly front five to fifteen dol th.e West, will examine every suf- mic Institute, 118 Grant Ave., Examinations, the price of which is lars, are now made free; and; furthen:more, in all curable cases, an'Electro-Chemic treatment is also given free of charge, just to show how diseases hitherto con- sidered incurable are promptly cured by Electro-Chemistry. WOMEN Woman, owing to the delicate construction of the female organism, suffers most. She Is drugged to death, and when her digestive sys- tem Is worn out by strong and poisonous med!- cines, and when her constitution is all gone, she is turned over to the surgeon, and in many sad instances, being too sick and weak to stand the surgical shock, her lfe is forfeited. If you are a woman, if you are sick unto death of swallowing drugs and medicines, if you fear the. necessity of a surgical treatment, no mat- ter what your trouble may be, come to us for a careful examination. Most Ejectro-Chemic ex- aminations are made with the patient in street attire. Just leave the corset off or dress so it can be easily removed. If all the sick wo- men in San Francisco could only know what wonderful cures are being wrought by Electro- Chemistry, In seemingly helpless cases, there would not be a building in the city large enough to hold all those who would wish the treatment at once. MEN Electro-Chemistry is just as successful in special diseases of men as in special diseases of women. The Institute has private apart- nts set aside for its male and female pa- tients. _Everything Is quiet, retired and pri- vate. We are always glad to have discouraged and disheartened men come to us, those who have failed to find relief under the older sys- tems of medical treatment. Specific biood contagion is quickly cured by a stream of electrictly that is poured into the blood, leaving oxygen behind it. Stricture. Prostatitls, Weakness and Varicocele are cured by Electro-Cnemh(l? as by no other means. The cures are quick and permanent and the expense is very moderate.
