When ex-President Roosevelt made
his tour of the west in 1903 he travel
ed a distance of 13,000 miles at an
expense of 150,000. President Taft ex
pects to travel 12,000 miles at an ex
pense of no more than $15,000.
The boo.:n of sunrise guns aboard tht
warships In the North River awoke
New York Saturday morning to the
first 'lay of the celebration, long plan
ned and long awaited, which honors
ihe work of Henry Hudson and Robert
Fulton. The river that Hudson found
anil where Fulton set his steamboat
was the place toward which the eyes
of 5,0(10,000 persons turnea iur me
most Impressive pageant that ever
floated In the New York harbor. A
thousand vessels, varying In type from
the one-man catboat to tne migmy
cruiser Inflexible, were there; fifty
seven warships, representing the na
vies of the I'nited States, Great Brit
ain, Germany, France, Italy, Holland,
Mexico aud Argentina. 450.000 tone or
steel, bearing 28,000 officers and met:
and armed with 1,897 guns.
Would Have rooted Fulton.
Copies of the Half Moon and Cler
mont, so faithful to the original mod
els In every detail, that Hudson anc
Fulton themselves would have been
puzzled to find the differences; 120
steamboats and ferryboats, seventy-
five steam yachts, seventy-five motor
boats, 300 tugs and steam lighters, 400
sailing craft and small launches. All
but the greatest and least of these
craft met in the upper bay for the pa
rade that escorted the Half Moon and
the Clermont up the Hudson. The war
ships remained at their anchorages.
The day's first spectacle not count
ng the grim line of warships In the
North River wss the assembling of
the naval pugeant In the upper bay.
Four American cruisers and five sub
marines were assigned to escort the
Half Moon and the Clermont. The
Clermont was towed from its ancho-
ag to Join the Half Moon. Then, with
the escort trailing in the rear, the two
little craft which epitomize the cele
bration cruised along the Brooklyn
shore In sight of the spectators. Mean
while the rest of the parade was as
sembling and when the Half Moon and
Clermont finished their round of the
upper bay and sailed Into the mouth of
the Hudson they fell Into line.
It was not until 1 o'clock that the
mass straightened out Into something
like procession formation. The boats
moved up the Hudson In double line
at a speed of eight miles an hour, but
such was the number of participants
that the column was nearly fifteen
miles long.
At night, with scarcely enough in
terval to allow the crowds to get din
ner, the participants In Ihe gay parade
moved over the sa.:iie rottte, while the
river was gorgeously decorated. By-
fur the moHt enjoyable feature of the
celebration was the fireworks display
on the river and the Illumination of
the vast fleet of war vessels and the
city. Millions witnessed the scene.

Three Hundred of Faithful Take
Part in Praise and Exhortation.
Awaiting the end of the world,

fore 6 o'clock Saturday night, the 300
or more members of "the Latter Reign
of the Apostolic Church," who call
themselves "Triune Itnmerslonists,"
and are popularly known as "Holy
Rollers," reassembled for a long watch
meeting In their Bethel. In West Dux
bury, Mass., on the main turnpike be
tween Boston nnd Plymouth.
Believers only were allowed to en
ter the Bethel during the afternoon.
An exception was made In the case
of the Rev. Dr. Dillon Bronson, of
Brookllne, a Methodist clergyman.
When he came out he said the partici
pants were evidently earnest In their
beliefs, but that much of their talk
was unintelligible. Women, with eyes
closed and bodies trembling from ex
citement, made strange. Incoherent ut
terances, which others, claiming to
have the "gift of tongues," translated
Into religious prophecies. Dr. Bron
son said there was much personal hyp
notism "in the air," and that he even
felt the influence of this hypnotism
himself.

The result of the recent experiment
ef Edwin A. Brown, a wealthy citizen
of Denver, who went to Pittsburg dis
guised as a tramp to test the labor and
charity conditions there Is the decis
ion ef Mayor Magee of the latter city
to establish a model city lodging house.
Brown first tried to get work, but was
repulsed at every point. Then he tried
to get a place to sleep at the various
oharltabln institutions, but was turned
away, finally, tired out, he was taken
care of by a kind police sergeant who
gave him a coll to sleep In. Even the
Salvation Army and the Volunteers ot
America had no beds to offer to one
who had not at least 25 cents to pay.
And the old Liberty Mission charged
10 tents for a lodging. On a park
bench lie found that the police would
not let him end bis kind sleep. The
mayor said he had no Idea that such
conditions prevailed.

The war office In Madrid announces
the complete success of the movement
In Morocco against the Moors. Both
Nador and Zeluau have been occupied.
At the latter town there was bloody
fighting with large bodies of Moors.
The ring around Mount Guruga is now
considered almost closed, and the posi
tion of the Moors Is desperate. Kald
Amas appeared before Gen. Marina, the
commander of the Spanish forces, and
asked terms of surrender for the tribes
Intrenched on Mount Guruga. The re
sults of this conference are not known,
but It Is believed the Moors are ready
to submit without conditions. The Im
mediate successful termination of
Spain's war against the Moors, which
has been going on since July, would be
of inestimable advantage to the gov
ernment of Premier Maura, against
which the campaign In Spain Is dally
becoming more intense among the low
er classes. A large section of the up
per classes, however, are manifesting
warm support of the government. The
minister of the Interior Is being del

In the presence of 15,000 people, King
Astronomers Find Conditions of At
mosphere Like Those of
the Earth.
If you wish to find out whether the
Inhabitants of Mars use Kngllsh or
talk in some sort of outlandish tongue,
you had better do It right away or
you will have to wait a decade and a
half for another chance as good. Mars
has been right up close, almost, at
hand-shaking distance, celestially
speaking, and now it Is rolling away
again at the rate of several hundred
thousand miles an hour, and will not
pay us nnother visit for fifteen years.
Mars Is, of course, still 30.000,000
miles or so away, and up to the hour
of going to press no enterprising avia
tor had announced his Intention of
making' a Cook-Peary dash for it. The
going is far from good, say thoe flying-machine
experts who have navi
gated the, first two miles of the route,
and the scientists think the reception
such a venturer would receive would
be even cooler than the weather Dr.
Cook found at the pole, and he would
be frozen stiff before he got. there.
Nevertheless the scientists havs got
ten much satisfaction out of the neigh-,
borliness of Mars. They have seen
both its poles with their own eyes, aud
that Is more than they can say of the
earth. They have seen the ice fields
slowly melt away during the summer
and grow gradually larger as cold
wpather comes on. They are a unit in
admitting that there is some form of
life on the planet, and with each new
advance in facilities for observation
they see things that make them think
the life is like that on the earth.
"There is no question that there is
life in some form on Mars," said Pro
fessor Philip Kox, the new director of
Dearborn Observatory, In Chicago.
'Nobody knows, of course, just what
form of life it is, but as we are able
to see more and more we learn of the
general conditions which must affect
this life, and the more nearly these
conditions approach those of the earth.
the closer will he the resemblance
of the life forms of the two
planets It Is two years since Pro
fessor Iowell announced that as the
result of a series of observations and
experiments he had detected the pres
ence of water vapor in the atmosphere
or Mars This means that Mars has
an atmosphere very much like the
earth's Atmosphere and temperature
are the main conditions' affecting life.
With the instrument here I have seen
the bright rings about the poles ex
pand and contract with the advance
of the seasons. They must be ice and
snow; they couldn't be anything else.
And they must melt and freeze, ac
cording as it is summer or winter.
This must mean that the temperature
is prnctic&lly the same us the earth's."

from Peoria South to Ohio River.
A slight earthquake which was felt
in Southern and Central Illinois and
Indiana and throughout Southwestern
Missouri, occurred early Monday. In
St. Louis the tremor came at 3:47
o'clock. So far as has been learned
little or no damage resulted. The gen
eral direction of the shock was west
to east, and It was felt more clearly In
thinly settled districts. Villages west
of St. Louis reported the destruction
of a few chimneys.
Reports of the phenomenon were re
ceived from all stations on the Mobile
and Ohio Railway as far south as Ci
cero, where the vibrations were from
south-southwest to north-northwest. In
Madison, Mattnon and other towns in
Central Illinois there were shocks at
practically the same time. At Spring
field, windows and chandellerB were
rattled and many persons were awak
ened. In Peoria residents of the bluffs
and the central part of the city were
aroused from sleep by the tremor. A
dispatch from Decatur says two shocks
were felt there, but no damage was
done.
EvausvUle, lud.. was severely shak
en. Houses rocked and creaked and
pictures on the walls swayed. Many
people were awakened by the shock.
A rtunbllng noise accompanied the dis
turbance. A telegram from Princeton,
Ind., says the sky was brilliantly Il
luminated, while two distinct shocks.
each lusting ten seconds, were felt
there. A settling of the earth's crust,
with the seat of the disturbance many
miles distant, Is the generally accepted
cause of the quake. Earth vibrations
lasting for one minute were recorded
at 3:45 o'clock at St. Ignasius Observ
atory, Cleveland.
