One of the amusing features that to- night is recalled as tending to center good natured feeling in Judge Dunne's behalf is his record as a father. He is the happy parent of thirteen chil- dren HUMOR OF THE CAMPAIGN. This phase of the campaign was shared by “Pop” Anson, who has an almost equally meritorious record in family matters. Anson, the old-time hero of baseball, was the Democratic candidate for City Clerk. ~His popular- ity personally was beyond doubt a po- tent help to the Democrats, who seemed to hugely appreciate his campaign sta- tistics designed to prove that the De- mocraecy, at least in Chicago, was the original and only genuine opponent of race suicide. The plurality for Dunne (D.) over Harlan is 24,248 and he received a ma- jority of 945 of all the votes cast. In the city election two years ago Harri- gon (D.) defeated Stewart (R.) by 7660 pluraiity. The eity, however, was car- ried by the Republicans in the Presi- dential election last fall by a plurality of nearly 110,000. John F. Smuiski, Re- publican candidate for City Attorney, was re-elected by 15,000 plurality. Bloch, Democrat, was elected City Treasurer and Anson City Clerk. The entire Socialist vote was 20,323 John M. Harlan listened to the re- turns at the Republican headquarters. As early as 7:30 o'clock he acknowi- edged defeat and left for his home. When asked for his opinion as to the cause of his defeat, Harlan said: “The people of Chicago became infat- uated with the idea of immediate mu- — e oot Continued on Page 2, Column 4. 1 | posts, Districts | i | eported | y manifested to- | garded by many as evidence that | T0 BEDSIDE OF DAUGHTE Overland Flier Brings Mother of Strick- en Bride. s BRI Sad Sequel to Marriage of Chicags Belle and Army Officer. 1 | | | i | | | { { | | | i Wife of Major Lynch-Blosse Lies Dan- gerously Il in a fan Fran: cisco Hospiial, —_— The honeymoon of Major Lynch- | | | Blosse and his fair young bride, who wag a former belle of Chicago. has been marred most unhappily in this city.

He is attached to the intelligence department of the hc,x_dquannrs staff of the British army, and bears a reputation for vajor earn- ed during the war in South Africa and while serving in Indfa. It was while { he was on his way to the Orient with a number of other British army of- ficers, who have already reached their that Major Lynch-Blosse met wooed the handsome daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles C. Germain of Chicago. The wedding was cefebrated in an elaborate manner and the happy young couple immediately started westward on their honeymoon. Arriving here Major Lynch-Blosse met convivial friends, measure, responsible for his many sub- sequent troubles. They dined and feted the officer and his bride, and after the then happy wife had returned to their apartments at the Palace these friends joined wih the major in carousals that | rapidly depleted his finances and eventually caused him to leave the Pal- ace, where his credit had been exhaust- | ed. When the major’s bills had become due he explained that he was tempo- rarily embarrassed by reason of the fact that his drafts had not arrived, but, for some strange reason, they never came, and the doors of his apart- ments were locked against him. Humiliated by her experiences, for which she had been .in no way re- sponsible, the young wife grew ill and her condition finally became such that it was deemed advisable to re- move her to a local hospital, where she is still an inmate, a physical wreck as the result of the terrible nervous strain to which she was subjected. When her condition several days ago took a serious turn her devoted mother in Chicago was advised by wire of her daughter's unfortunate predicament, and immediately re. | sponded that she would start at once for San Francisco. It was expected that she would arrive yesterday at the Palace Hotel, where accommoda- tions had been engaged for her, but it was learned at a late hour that she | would not arrive until to-day. The Germains are prominent people of Chicago, where Charles C. Germain: has been identified for a number of years as a stock operator. When the parents of Mrs. Liynch-Blosse learned of her troubles at the Palace they ap- pealed to her to return home, offering to forward her the necessary funds |for the homeward journey, but the (bride remained loyal to her reckless husband until she was finally com- pelled by circumstances to make an urgent appeal to her mother for { money to insure her removal to the hospital that now shelters her. who were, in a | i | | HARRY KENDALL THAW WEDS A FORMER SINGER Miss Evelyn = Florence Nesbit Bride of the Young Pittsburg Millionaire. | PITTSBURG, April 4.—Harry Ken- | dall Thaw and Miss Evelyn Florence Nesbit were quietly married” at 5 o’'clock this afternoon at the home of Rev.

Blue Grass State Extends Splendid Welcome to Executive. LOUISVILLE, April 4—In the shad- ow of a magnificent bronze statue of Thomas Jefferson, just in front of the courthouse of Jefferson County, Presi- dent Roosevelt to-day in something less than fifteen minutes delivered a notable address to a crowd that ex- tended for two blockseon the east and west sides of the speaker’s stand, which jammed the intersecting ave- nues and overran the. broad lawns which skirt the square. Not more than one-fifth of those who saw the Presi- dent could hear what he said, but they cheered him heartily nevertheless. The President's reception in Ken- tucky was typical, and his reference to a “united country,” his reference to the United Confederate Veterans as “my comrades” and his allusion to the wearer of the gray who bore aloft at the head of the procession of escort the ‘flag of one united country” great- 1y pleased those who could hear him. The President was in Louisville but for two hours, but not a moment was lost. His reception in the residence por- tion of the city was cordial, as he passed through the business section it was demonstrative of hearty good will, and at the speaking stand, and on the short drive over the business section, it was an assured ovation. The weather was cool and threaten- ing when the President arrived, hut before the downtown district had been reached the sun broke through the clouds and shone gloriously. Every- where the crowds were enormous, but orderly, and barring a little confusion in front of the speaker’s stand, the po- lice arrangements were execellent, The President was greatly pleased at the cordialitv of the crowds and much touched over the presentation of three magnificent souvenirs, remini- cent of Abraham Lincoln, which oc- curred a few moments before his train departed for the Southwest. CONFEDERATES IN LINE. The President was welcomed to Louisville by Acting Mayor Paul C. Barth, in the absence of Mayor Got- tinger, who is ill, and by Thomas Murray, chairman of the reception committee. Preceded by a detail of mounted police and by a mounted ci- vilian escort bearing the President's colors, the President's carriage, in which with him were Secretary Loeb, Governor Beckham and Mr. Murray, moved forward, the procession being under wav in a few minutes with Gen- eral John B. Castleman acting as grand marshal. Y Drawn up_on Broadway between Third and Fourth streets were the George B. Easton camp of United Confederate Veterans, two posts of Grand Army men and the Spanish ‘War Veterans’' Assoclation. Louisville has but a single camp of Confederates, but it Is a large one and its members were out in full strength numerically with Generdl John H. Leathers in command. INTRODUCED BY BECKHAM. In introducing the President Gover- nor Beckham said: “Ladies and Gentlemen—Not only the people of Louisville but the peo- ple of all Kentucky rejoice to-day in welcoming among us the President of this great republic. Regardless of all political differences we are here to do honor. not only to the chief magistrate ] eminent patriotism, his integrity, his fearlessness and we all believe him to be a friend of the great common peo- | ple throughout the eountry. We also look forward to him, during the next four years as the ruler of lh)x,figp,gb- lic, to, obliterate the last faint Tine of sectional difference thal may exist in this country. I believe that It7is in the power of this great man, who more than any President since the big brained and hig hearted Lincoln holds the affectiohs and the confidence of the people of this country—I say, [ believe it is more in his power than in the power of any other man to establish beyond question the fact that there is no North, no South, no East and no West in this country.” SPEECH OF PRESIDENT. As the President stepped on the platform and the crowd saw him, a prolonged cheer went up. The Presi- dent tried to speak, but good natured- ly walted until the applause had died out. Then he said: “Governor Beckham, and You, My Fellow Americans—Surely any man would, indeed, be gratified to be greet- ed in this way by such an audience, and be introduced as you have intro- duced me, Governor Beckham. (Ap- plause). “As the Governor has so weil said, upon all the important questions, the questions that infinitely transcend mere partisan. differences, we are fundamentally one. (Applause). “For in the question of foreign and international politics the points on which ‘there can be no proper division on party Hnes infinitely exceed in num- ber those on which there can be such division, and, Governor Beckham, 1 shall do all that in me lies to justify the hope to which you have given ex- pression and to try to show myself the President of all the people of the United States. “And, naturally, I feel particularly gratified at seeing here to-day joined in this procession the men who wore the blue and the men who wore the gray. (Applause.) In the dark days— now, keep just as quiet as you can; you won’t' be able to do anything more than see me, anyhow (laughter and ap- plause)—in the dark days each of you fought for the right as it was given him to see the right (A voice, “That’s right”), and each of you has left us the right to feel pride, not only in your valor, but in your devotion to what you conscientiously believed your duty. (Great applause.) REGARD FOR MEN IN GRAY. “And now we are one. (Cheers and long-continued applause.) And as a re- united people we have the same right to feel pride in the valor of a man who conscientiously risked his life in the uniform of a Confederate that we have in the man who Wore the blue (ap- plause), and as I passed by your ranks, O my friends in gray, to-day, and sa- luted the flag of our common country, held up by a man in the gray uni- form, I felt that indeed we are one, and that we havegbeen able to show mangkind that the greatest war of the century can be followed by the most perfect union that any nation now knows. i day—the presentation of souvenirs to THE CITY OF LOUISVILLE. X EXECUTIVE AND SOME OF THE MEN. OF KENTUCKY WHO TOOK A CHIE R MANENT PART IN THE GALA RECEPTION TO HIM YESTERDAY IN + the small people if I let you get away. Good-by.” WORD TO THE GERMANS. As the President descended to the platform from the speaker's stapd the voices of two male German singing so- cleties burst forth with the strains of “My Old Kentucky Home." | The President remained uncovered | until the famous song had been con-| cluded. Then he spoke to the !lnsers! as follows: “Gentlemen—I want to thank you for coming here to sing to-day, and I want to say just one thing ,‘suggesled by your presence: We, as a people, are composed of men from many differ- ent stocks from the Old World. Bach stock can contribute something of great value to our national life. The pecple of German origin who have come here have contributed much in many different ways, and not the least of which they contributed was the power to know what the joy of living means (applause). There is one word I wish it were possible to trauslate, but as it is not possible I wish we could adopt it absolutely as it is—gemueth- lichkeit—for gemuethlichkeit is a mighty valuable asset. I hope as mis- sionaries you will be able to teach us what it means and how to practice it all through. Good-by.” (Laughter.) SOUVENIRS OF LINCOLN. The President and party again en- tered their carriages and after a short drive through several streets in the business district arrived at the Louis- ville Hotel. In the parlors of the hotel occurred one of the prettiest incidents of the the executive. These consisted of a massive silver flagon containing water from a spring on the old Linccln home- stead in Larue County; an inkstand from an oak which shaded the spring from which Lincoln drank when a lad, and a beautiful silver vase filled with “And in coming to this great and beautiful ‘city of yours I wish to con- gratulate you upon the history that is found here. “I am glad, as I say, of the spirit that makes you wish to dedicate statues like this of Jefferson, like the great statue of Clay inside the courthouse. It is a fine thing to keep to a sense of historic | continuity with the past, and there is| i one statue that I wish the members in | the national Congress from Kentucky to see is put up by the national Gov- ernment, and that is a national statue to Andrew Jackson, and the victors of the battle of New Orleans. The fight at New Orleans was one in which the whole nation had a share, as far as the glory and the profit went, and the whole nation, and not any one State, should join in putting that statue "%e 800d-by, be- it there, “Now, I am going to say cause there is a little movement and it will be better for the women and over to the I orchids. e President was visibly touched by these gifts, coming as they did as a complete surprise. The pres- entation was made by Colonel R. T. Durret, for twenty years a friend of the President, and in whose library Mr. Roosevelt years ago spent many hours gaining infc ition as to the history of Kentucky and data as to the and Clark expedition. Senator McCreery was also present at the cere- mony. PEESIES SCRSIES FROM ST. LOUIS TO TEXAS. President Heading for the Country of : Rough Riders. ST. LOUIS, April 4.—The’ special train bearing President Roosevelt and party pulled into East St. Louis, IIL, at 7 o'clock to-night, where the Terminal Railway Com- - pany for transfer across the river to St. Louis. Knots of people were scat- tered along the track, but as it had | been generally understood that the train would not arrive until 8 o’clock there were no croyds to see the Pres- ident’s train and nb demonstration be- yond cheering here and there along the way. Colonel Cecil on, a member of the Republican ational Committée from Texas, under whose guidance the jackrabbit hunt in Texas is to be made, joined the party here. The private car of A. A. Allen, vice presidéent and general manager of the Missouri, Kansas and Texas road, wis attached in the yards and Allen will remain with the party so long as the train is on the Missouri, Kansas and Texas system. Switching continued until 8:30 when, with a long shriek from . the whistle of the big new engine, the train plunged into its long run to Texas with a pilot engine running five minutes ahead. THREE SPEECHES EN ROUTE. From Louisville to St. Louls Pres- ident Roosevelt took more than a passing interest in Indiana and Illi- nois. At a dozen or more places the train slowed dowr and at most of these great crowds -were at the station cheering as long as the was in sight. The President made three speeches en route. They were at Miltown, Ind.; Huntirgton, Ind., and Mount Verngn, Ill. At East Junction, near Princeton, Ind., where a change of engjnes was made, the President jumped down from the rear platform of the train to shake hands with a number of emiployes of the railroad “Gentlemen and Ladies—It is a great pleasure to catch this glimpse of you and greet you on my way down to the reunion of my old regiment Tex. There ] SHIE, l?g ‘i 58 ] { | them up merely so it ¥ beautiful State to-day, to be passing through Illinois, which I know so well, and to be greeted by you.

Teach them not to shirk difficulties, but to'overcome them.' At Militown, ‘Ind., the firs* stop out of Louisville, a large gathering of { workingmen greeted President Roose- | velt. A gray-bearded patriarch pointed out the President and introduced him as ““The_ greatest dignitary om earth.” 2 ae 2, 20 S Killed by the Presideént’s Train.
