Car'n Jack Crawford, "tha jioet-acout of
tha fbnas" kept a lara crowd In con-
tinuetl lnughttr anJ merriment yeaterday
afternocn he jnada hia flrat appearance ot
the Benaon Chautauqua. "Cnptalp Jack"
appeara In icoutlnf contume, buckskin
trousers and sombrero and his long grey
lielt and grey mustai'he and goatee make
him look much like Hutfalo BUI.
II has reon much fighting from tha days
. whrn he fought as a boy fy tht aids ot hla,
" rather through his long list of Indian
skirmishes and battles. In the early '70's
he was the Black Hills correspondent Cor
The P-e, and He Is happy to remembe
thnt lead:ns mrn suld his letters In The
IVe d'd more thsn any other one thing In
' bringing Bottlers to that country.
Captain Jack breathes the healthy west-
trn spirit and he hss command of a flna
sense of humor In describing many lnc.
dents of h's first visits to New York and
cf happenings nut In the mountains and
en the plains when the Indians were still
the white man's sworn foes.
'I'm til years young," he said, "and I
ran kick a oot higher than my head right
now. That Is because 1 have always taken
good care of Captain Jack."
Enrlr Pant as Poet.
"I will reci:e tome of my poems. My
principal reason for dolnff this Is because
po rne else recites th-m. One when I
ua cut fn the plains cne cf my pals said
to me. 'Why don't you publish your poems?
The people cf the east are hungry for
them." Well, a frontiersman will never let
unvote go hungry as long as he can give
Mm some grub. So I laid I'd feed the
hunpry people cf the effete east. I wrote
t. a publisher and sent Mm some samples
. t - n -n-T-. Tl-'t publisher's let'r
said that ho noticed a great slmlllarlty
between my work snd that of Robert
Burns and Joaquin Miller and Breta Ilarte,
but, he said I woulld have to put up J50O
to have the volume printed. That 'but' was
what atalled me. But one day my pal
handed me a check for 1500 and told me to
have the poems published. I eent the
money to the publisher and the book came
out. But the people weren't hungry any
more. But I got even with them. 1 made
them eat, for I gave away 700 copies free."
Captain Jack Is now having .a new vol
ume published and Elbert Hubbard Is deJng
the work -m East Aurora. Most of the
poems 'which ha recites are of the west
em mountains and plains, and are much
better than his story about the sale of the
first edition, would Idnlcate.
Captain Jack had charge of tha govern.
ment scouts In many parts cf the west In
the early days and has many stories of
adventure which he relates with much
dramatic power.
Another new feature which made a first
appearance yesterday Is the Carolina Jubilee
company which proved a great favorite,
singing a number of southern songs, both
religious and rag time.
People who have not been to the Benson
Chautauqua are really missing some ex

CURES
o BLOOD POISON
In no other disease is a thorough cleansing of the blood more necessary
than in Contagious Blood Poison. The least particle of this insidious virus
will multiply in the circulation and So thoroughly contaminate the blood
that no part of the body will be exempt from the ravages of this powerful
disease' Usually the first symptom ia a little aore or ulcer, insignificant in
itself, but soon the blood becomes ao contaminated that the mouth and throat
ulcerate, glands in the groin 'swell, hair and eye-brows come out, copper
colored spots appear on the body, and frequently sores and ulcers break out
on the Cesh to humiliate the sufferer. S. S. S. cures Contagious Blood Poison
by purify in; the circulation. It attacks the disease in the right way by going
down into the circulation, neutralising and forcing out every particle of the
poison, aud making this fluid pure, fresh and health-sustaining. The im
provement commences as soon as the patient gets under the influence of
B. S. S., and continuca until every trace of the disease is removed from the
blood, and the sufferer completely restored to health. Not one particle of
the poison ia left for future out-breaks after S. S. S. has purged and purified
the blood. Book oojh home treatment of this diseaae and any ruedical advice

There were comparatively few arrivals of
those invited to attend the funeral up to

President and Mrs. Roosevelt.
Outside the Cleveland home, which
sianas in. one or tne prettiest rarts of
Princeton, there were no signs during the

room during the forenoon and was sur
rounded by marfy floral tributes. Among

of orchids wss received from the Friendly
Sons of St. Patrick. Another wreath mado

The Cleveland team, a handsome p'alr of
dapple grays attached to the family surrey,
