LIGIOUS SOCIETY
THE NEED OF PURE LIFE
His Remarks Applauded by a Large
and Enthusiastic Audience Speech
as Well as Conduct Important for
All to Consider
OYSTER BAY N Y President
Aooaevelt delivered the principal ad
dress at the quarterly meeting of the
Society of Holy Name of Brooklyn
and Long Island held hero Sunday
Decency of Speech and Conduct
constituted the theme of his address
which was enthusiastically applauded
by an audience of more than 2000
persons chiefly men During the af
ternoon special trains brought hun
dreds of member of the society to
f
Oyster Bay from Brooklyn and west
ern Long Island As the president
drove up to the stand in a closed
carriage accompanied by Captain W
H Brownson superintendent of the
Naval academy Secretary Barnes and
a representative of the society he
was accorded an enthusiastic recep
tion a band the while playing Hail
to the Chief After the audience had
sung America Father Power rector
of St Dominics introduced the presi
dent in a felicitous speech
Vhen President Roosevelt rose to
speak ho was greeted with cheers
and it was quite a minute before
he was able to proceed His address
in part follows
Very reverend dean reverend clergy
aud you of the Holy Name society
I count myself fortunate in having
the chance to cay a word to you to
day and at the outset let me Father
Yowe r on behalf of my neighbors
your congregation welcome you here
to Oyster Bay I have a partial right
to join in that welcome myself for
it was my good fortune in the days
of Father Powers predecessor Father
Belford to be the first man to put
down a small contribution for the
erection of the church here I am
particularly glad to see such a church
as this flourishing as your society
has flourished because the future
welfare of our nation depends upon
the way in which we can combine in
our men our young men decency
aud strength Just this morning
when attending service on the great
battleshipKearsarge I listened to a
sermon addressed to the officers and
enlisted men of the navj in which
the central thought was that each
American must he a good man or he
could not be a good citizen and one
of the things dwelt upon in that ser
mon was the fact that a man must be
clean of mouth as well as clean of life
must show by his words as well as
actions his fealty to the Deity and
to the Savior if he was to live aright
We have good scriptural authority
for the statement that it is not what
comes into a mans mouth but what
goes out of it that counts I am not
addressing weaklings or I should not
take the trouble to come here I am
addressing strong vigorous men who
are engaged in the hard work of life
and life to be worth living must be a
life of activity and hard work I
am speaking to men engaged in the
hard active work of life and there
fore men who count for good or evil
aud it is particularly incumbent upon
you who have strength to set a right
example to others I ask you to re
member that you cannot retain your
self respect if you are loose and foul
of tongue that a man who is to lead a
clean and honorable life must inevit
ably suffer if his speech likewise is
not clean and honorable Every man
here knows the temptations that be
set all of us in this world

ROOT WILL QUIT
Will Resign Position Before 3ailing
for London
WASHINGTON Before Secretary
Root sails for London to sit with the
Alaskan commission he will place his
resignation in the presidents hands
in order that a secretary of war may
be appointed if necessary during his
absence
It is expected however that the
resignation will not be acted upon un
til after congress meets The ap
pointment of Mr Roots successor
will depend somewhat on the length
of time he is engaged on the Alaskan
boundary commission
It ha3 been known for some time
that Secretary Root intended to retire
but he did not wish to leave the de
partment until the general staff was
in- operation It is uncerstood that
the matter of his successor has been
discussed and while not officially an
nounced it is thought the position will
be tendered to Governor Taft
While Secretary Root is in London
ho will remain in communication with
the war department and matters per
taining to the staff and other matters
will be referred to him If the sit
tings of the Alaskan commission ex
tend beyond December 1 it is likely
the secretarys resignation will be ac
cepted at that time
It is believed here that there will
be much delay in the consideration
of the Alaskan boundary case and
that the United States commission
ers may be detained ia London sev
eral months
Secretary Roots decision to leave
public life is based largely on personal
grounds His family does not like the
life in Washington and the secretary
also desires to return to his law prac
tice in New York
Many questions relative principally
to the islands and the establishment
of a government in Cuba have been
settled during Secretarv Roots ad
ministration The reorganization of
the army under the general staff plan
is now under way and the secretary
feels he has accomplished the work he
was called on to do when he became
secretary of war
OYSTER BAY N Y Bllhu Root
will resign as secretary of war the
resignation to take effect about Jan
uary 1 He will be succeeded unless
present plans miscarry by Judge Wil
liam H Taft now governor of the
Philippines
When Mr Roosevelt became presi
dent Mr Root expressed his desire
to leave the cabinet within a year
but his friendship for the president
and his interest in pending questions
before the department caused him
to remain for a longer period Even
now he has not indicated just when
he may leave the cabinet but he
and Jhe president have discussed the
question several times and have a
mutual understanding It is not
thought the secretary will present his
resignation before he leaves for Eng
land to take up the work of -the Alas
kan boundary commission
MILES IS NOT A CANDIDATE
Doss Not Want to Head the Grand
Army of the Republic
OMAHA The second section of
the Chicago North western train to
which was attached Ihe sDeecial car
No 403 conveying General Nelson A
Miles and party arrived in Cniaha
about 4 oclock Tuesday afternoon A
great throng welcomed him at the de
pot here I am not a candidate for
the office of commander-in-chief of the
Grand Army of the Republic said
General Miles On the contrary
shall second the nomination of Gen
eral John C Blacir General Black Is
a fine representative of the old sol
diers and is entitled to the honor The
Grand Army was created for the com
mon soldier and not for the profes
sional At any rate I have had honor
enough in the military line and have
no ambition further in that direction
The Grand Army of the Republic is
very dear to me I was active in its
organization assisting General John
A Logan In 1868 when I was in
command of a district in South Caro
lina I organized Barbara Freitsche
post and was for a long time one of
the comrades of that post I have
since had my membership transferred
to Lafayette post of the New York
department and there it now is You
must not think that I do not appre
ciate the distinction of being commander-in-chief
for I do I think it is
the highest honor that can come to
an old soldier
A man who is so good is real un
canny

JEFFRIES WINNER
SUCCESSFULLY DEFENDS TITLE
TO CHAMPIONSHIP
VICTORY IN THE TENTH ROUND
Sponge Thrown Up to Save Corbett
From Needless Punishment Evi
dence that Jeffries Stands Alone in
His Class
MECHANICS PAVILION SAN
FRANCISCO James J Jeffries
heavyweight champion of the world
played with Corbett for nine rounds
and a half- Friday night and then Cor
betts seconds stopped the fight to
save their man from needless punish
ment
The end cams shortly after the be
ginning of the tenth round when
Jeffries planted one of his terrific left
swings on Corbetts stomach The
man who conquered John L Sullivan
dropped to the floor in agony and the
memorable scene at Carson City when
Bob Fitzsimraons landed his solar
plexus blow was almost duplicated
This time however Corbett struggled
to his feet and again faced his gi
gancic adversary With hardly a
moments hesitation Jeffries swung
his right and again landed on Cor
betts stomach Jim dropped to the
floor and then it was that Tommy
Ryan seeing it was all over motioned
to Referee Graney to stop it
The fight demonstrated beyond all
doubt that Jeffries stands alone in his
class He showed remarkable im
provement on both speed and skill
Corbett during the first part of the
fight was almost outpointed and the
few blows he landed on Jeffries were
apparently without sting Jeffries was
never in better condition He looked
lighter than usual and the way he
moved about on his feet and the fre
quency with which he countered Cor
betts leads astonished everybody
Corbett in comparison with the big
man opposed to him looked light but
was really heavier than ever before
He appeared to have lost some of his
old time speed and skill during the
early part of the fight but this may
have been due to Jeffries marvelous
improvement
Corbetts physical condition appear
ed to be all that he had claimed He
stood many of Jeffries terrific blows
without wincing and came back swing
ing left and right and landed frequent
ly but his blows hardly stunned
Jeffries Jeffries was not only strorig
er and cleverer than ever but he used
his head to better purpose and al
though Corbett would hit him hard
enough to hurt an ordinary man
Jeffries bore right in without notic
ing the blows and delivered telling
hits that materially aided in deciding
the fight
At first Corbett was cautious and
apparently was outpointed by Jewries
but later he warmed up and showed
some of his old time cleverness From
the first however it was generally
regarded as a hopeless case for Cor
bett He made a gallant fight but
he never stood a show to win
After the fight was over Corbett
quickly recovered walked over to
Jeffries and shook him warmly by the
hand He said Jim you beat me
fairly You stand alone No one
can touch you

APPEAL TO POWERS
Macedonian Rebels Will Struggle Till
European Intervention
SOFIA The delegates of thp Mace
donian committee have addressed the
following appeal to each of the repre
sentatives of the powers
Your Excellency The delegates of
I the Macedonian committee have the
honor to bring to your notice the fol
lowing declaration with the request
that you communicate it to your gov
ernment
The Mussulmans systematic perse
cution has compelled the Christians in
Macedonia and the vilayettes of Adri
anople to institute a general rising
They have had recourse to this meas
jre after exhausting every measure to
secure the intervention of Europe to
enforce the provisions of the Berlin
treaty At the present moment inter
vention is the unly means of remedy
ing the evil and stopping bloodshed
The sporadic efforts of the ppwers to
secure reforms have failed they re
sulting merely in a recrudescence of
Turkish fanaticism and government
oppression
It is evident that reform measures
o be efficacious must include the ap
pointment of a Christian governor
general of Macedonia some one who
ftas never held office under the porte
and who must be independent of the
Turkish government in the exercise
of his functions and the further ap
pointment by the powers of a joint
permanent administrative board with
power to deal with any disturbance
Having exposed the foregoing facts
to the civilized world and made pub
lic the causes which have driven the
Macedonians to despair the commit
tee for the Macedonians now in arms
proposes to continue the fight until the
object of their uprising has been at
tained

DECLARES H MSELF BEST MAN
What Jeffries Said After the Fight
Was Over
SAN FRANCISCO Jeffries said af
ter the fight here Friday night My
Sght will demonstrate to the public
that I am a better man than I ever
was and gives the lie to the reports
which has been circulated in some
quarters that I am a physical wreck
through drink and other dissipation
I trained faithfully for this fight aud
the result shows that I am the nat
aral champion I outboxed Corbett in
every round and carried the fight to
aim at every stage of the game I
must say however that Corbett put
ap a better fight than I thought he
would His punches had no steam
and when they did land which was
aot often they did not pheze me
At no time was I distressed and I
felt confident of winning from the
first I would have put him out n
the fourth if my glove had not burst
The half minutes delay to replace
the glove did Corbett a world of good
and he was able to continue the con
test Although he knew I was his
master and lost his old time confi
dence he occasionally showed his old
agility I fought harder with mw
trainers during the conditioning sea
son than I aid with Corbett and I
finished the contest as fresh as when
entered the ring
I have no plans for the future
Those matters are left to my manager
and my trainer
BIGGEST IOWA HAS EVER HAD
Indications Are That State Fair at Des
Mpines Will Break All Records
DES MOINES la The Iowa state
fair opens Friday of this week and
the indications are that it will be the
biggest fair the state has ever had
All of the departments will be full
to overflowing and the directors of
the fair are at a loss to know what
to do with all of the entries that have
been made In the cattle department
nearly 800 entries have been made
which is above last years record It
will probably be necessary to house
part of the cattle in tents as the
barns will not hold all of them and
there will not be time to build more
The horse show will be one of the
greatest ever held in the west All
of the leading importers of the central
west have arranged to have their sta r
bles represented and when it comes
to judging horses the best judges in
the country will have all they can do
to pick the winners

PLAYED DEAF AND DUMB
But Even Then the Lawyer Did Not
Get Silent Shavs
Experiments dont always terminate
as expected said a Nassau street law
yer This morning I went to a
strange barber shop and for the pur
pose of heading off conversation I
played deaf and dumb As I entered
I put my fingers to work and went
through the motion of shaving with an
affirmative shako of the head gave
the negative shake as I made tho hair
cutting motions shampooing gestures
shoeblacking actions and application
of hair tonic passes
Two idle barbers bowed In recog
nition of understanding me and took
positions at their chairs waiting for
me to make my selection which I did
by dropping into the first one
That fellow looks daffy as well
as dumb said the barber who wasnt
putting soap in my mouth
I gues3 hes all right answered
the one who was rubbing in all the
lather on one spot These dummies
always do act queer
I bet he is too mean to give you a
tip
He looks it answered the shaver
He will be a bald headed lobster in
side of six months It looks as though
his wife had been playing ping pong on
his head
Sell him some hair tonic replied
the other I will writo and ask him
If he wants it
Til be hanged if you do I cried
out Go on with the shave and let me
get out of this
The shave was completed after a
fashion and there wasnt a word spok
en during the rest of the process The
tip was forgotten New York Herald
WAS THIS DOCTOR A QUACK
Cured a Patient of a Hallucination by
a Clever Trick
We recall the case of an unhappy
wretch who came to Washington some
years ago imploring the doctors to re
lieve liim of a snake which he said
he had swallowed while drinking at a
spring and which as he violently de
clared was devouring the coat of his
stomach One by one the learned gen
tlemen examined him satisfied them
selves that there was no snake as
indeed there was not and sent him
away with the solemn assurance that
he need not worry about it any more
He continued to worry however
and when at last he found a physician
vho cared more about results than
etiquette he was on the verge of
actual insanity This great physician
sqon perceived that he had to deal
with a hallucination not a snake and
proceeded accordingly He employed
a colored citizen and a tin bucket
Two hours in Rock Creek park brought
forth a garter snake of small size but
great activity and an earnest and in
dustrious emetic did the rest The
victim saw the snake wriggling In
the bucket and went home happy It
is part of the history of that period
however that the physician who
achieved the cure was loudly de
nounced as an outlaw and consigned
to everlasting odium for unprofes
sional conduct
We never heard that he lost the
confidence of the public on that ac
count however and as the fame and
the fortunes of medical men are made
by their practical achievements and
not by the approval of their fellow
doctors we rather think he profited in
the end Washington Post
