? V Tribute to the 'y"yiS T Phonograph Even John Philip Sousa, the great bandmaster, who has no use for Phonographs, has been forced to recognize the Phonograph as a for midable competitor. The two-step king says that people will no longer go to concerts if they can have music in their own homes so easily and so cheaply as they can with the Phonograph. This is an unwilling tribute, but it is nevertheless a tribute. The man who has a Phonograph has a concert in his own house. Even a king could not have more. At our store you can hear them any time.

LONG MAKES PUBLIC LETTER HE WROTE TO PRESIDENT. DEMANDS PUBLIC RETRACTION Pastor-AutTior Says President Has Gone Out of His Way to Accuse Him of Falsehood Issue is No Longer One of Animals. Stamford, Conn., May 29. Dr. Will iam J. Long made public a letter sent by him to President Roosevelt. The letter says, in part: "The issue be tween you and me is no longer one of animals, but of truth and personal honor. In a recent magazine article you deliberately attached me, as well as my hook. You hnvo used the enor mous iniluence of your olllclal position to discredit me as a man, to injure my .reputation and, incidentally, to make a poor man even poorer by destroying, it possible, the sale and Iniluence ol his work. In my book 1 have given the result of long years of watching animals In tho wilderness, with no dther object than to study their habits and, so far as man can, to understand tho mystery of their dumb life. "In every profaco I have stated, and I now repeat tho statement, that every incident I hnvo recorded from my own observation is true as far as an honest, educated man can see nnd understand tho truth. In your recent attnek, this is what you chiefly deny. I have spoken the truth and you ac cuse ino of deliberate falsehood and misrepresentation. As president of tho United States you have gone out of your way publicly to injure a pri vate citizen who was attending strict ly to his own business; as a man you have accused of falsehood another man whose idenls of truth and honor are quite as high as your own. This is tho whole issue between us. I meet it squarely and so must you. If I hnvo spoken falsely, if In hook or word of mine I have intentionally de ceived any child or man regarding animal llfo, I .promlso publicly to re tract every such word and never to 'trite another antmnl book. On tho otTier hand, If I show to any disinter ested person thnt you have accused me falsely you must publicly withdraw your accusation and apologize. As a man and as president no other honor able course is open to you. You base your recent charges chieily on tho matter of a big white wolf killing a young caribou by a bite In the chest, described by me In 'Northern Trails.' You declare the thing to be a mathe matical impossibility, and declare by 'no possibility could a wolf perform tho feat.' " Dr. Long declares ho knows from ills own observation and from the tes timony of Indians that wolves do sometimes kill In this way, and then quotes the signed and witnessed state ment of S. J. Hapidan, an educated Sioux Indian, who states lie saw a horse which a wolf had killed by tear ing Its chest. In addition to tills, Dr. Long says he himself had seen a deer which had been Blain In this manner by a wolf. Continuing, Dr. Long says: "Theso are tho facts underlying the incident which you declare to he imposslblo nnd false. If this testimony is not enough I will ail it up to full scrip ture measure. "You cannot at this stage, MY. Roosevelt, take refuge behind the presidential oiilco and maintain si lence. You have forfeited your right to that silence by breaking It by com ing out in public to attack a prlvato citizen. If your talk of a 'square deal' Is not nil a sham, If your frequent moral preaching is not hypocrisy, I call upon you, as president, as a man, to come, out and admit the error and lijjustlco of your chnrgo In tho same open and public way In which you made it." Armenians' tojmkFsearch Inability of Police to Solve Trunk 'Mystery May Result In Native Help. Now York, May 29. Failure of tho police to arrest the murderers of ltov.
