QUELLS INCIPIENT #ANFLC Reviews the international War Flecta, Makes a. Vigorous Addr^M r. and Presses the Gold J Button. . ¥ "-'ij Norfolk, Va.--President -'Hoosev^t, the diplomatic, naval and military rep­ resentatives of 37 of the nations of the world, and the governors of a score of states, participated Friday in5* the opening exercises of the James­ town Tercentennial exposition. From tha firing of a sunrise . salute of 300 guns by the United StAites army, through the picturesque review of the international fleet of war ves­ sels anchored in Hampton Roads, through the ceremonies of dedication at which the president spoke, and down to a late hour at night, when the chief executive went aboard the naval yacht Sylph to spend the night in the lower bay, the day was crowded with notable incidents. Not the least impressive of the day's events was the action of tire president in assuming command of the situation in front of the crowded grandstand from which he spoke, when a panic seized the surging throng of specta­ tors. Pressed against the guard ropes by thousands of eager" persons in the rear of the gathering, who were forc­ ing their way forward, the safety of life and limb of those who had the more favored positions was endan­ gered. With the agility of a school­ boy, the president jumped upon the table which had been placed in the speakers' balcony and, waving his arms, cried out to the men of Virginia to live up to their traditions of gallant­ ry and cease the crowding which was threatening the lives of the women and children in the assemblage. The crowd heeded the president's warning at once. SonTe of the president's remarks-- noticeably when he touched upon the subject of the recent peace congress in New York--were addressed to the representatives of the many nations of the world; others were emphasized to the soldiers and sailors who took such a conspicuous part in the day's program, and other thoughts to which he gave utterance were directed to­ ward the general public. There were constant outbursts of applause and cheering. Especially when reference was made to the gallantry of the men who fought in the civil war--beneath the banners of the north or the cross- barred flag of the confederacy--wag the cheering and the applause un­ stinted. f The military encamped about the exposition groundB began the day's ceremonies with the firing of the three-century Balute. Soon thereafter from across the waters of Hampton Roads came the boom of ship cannon, signaling the beginning of the review by the president of the most formida­ ble fleet of International battleships and cruisers the world has witnessed in many years. On board the tidy cruiser yacht May­ flower, the president, with a few espe­ cially invited guests, was greeted first by a roar of 21 guns from each of the vessels, foreign and American. Then, as he steamed along the lane of the visiting men of war, he was saluted individually and in turn by every bat- telship and cruiser at anchor in the roads.. The marine picture, viewed from shore by thousands and from the decks of excursion and pleasure craft by almost as many more, was at once imposing and impressive. When his yacht had anchored in the very midst of the naval vessels, the president received on board the flag and commanding officers of the foreign fleet and the flag officers of the home squadron. The ceremonies of dedication were brief, the features being the addresses of President Tucker of the exposition and President Roosevelt. The latter, at the conclusion of his address, pressed the gold button, which formal­ ly marked the opening of the commem­ orative enterprise. Then followed an Informal luncheon to the president and 40 other guests in the Auditorium or administration building. The repaBt ended, the president repaired again to the grandstand, from which he re viewed a parade of United StateB sol diers and sailors. • *:'v --^rr • • --~~~ -- Deplores Efforts to Influence gov** of Justice---Repeats Condemnation of "Undesirable Citizens." Washington.--In a letter addressed to Honore Jaxson of Chicago, chair­ man of the "Cook county Moyer-Hay- wood conference," made public Tues­ day, President Roosevelt replied to the criticisms of his recent letter in which he referred to Moyer and Hay­ wood, officials of the Western Federa­ tion of Miners, charged with Implica­ tion in the murder of former Gov. Steunenberg' of Idaho, as "undesirable citizens." The president says he regrets any body of men should so far forget their duty to their country as, by formation, of societies and in other ways, to en­ deavor to influence justice and coercje court or, jury; that they, not he, ar&» trying to influence justice, and he condemns what he calls their flagrant impropriety in the matter, He sfiys that he indicated no opinion as to their guilt of the Steuenberg murder, but that it was a simple absurdity to suppose that because a man is on trial he is free from criticism as to hia manner of life. He said be might as well be accused of trying to influence the suits -against Harriman, some of whose friends had also accused him. He said that Moyer and Haywood stand as representatives of those who habitually appear as guilty of incite­ ment to or apology for bloodshed and violence. He added that he was pro­ foundly Indifferent to the condemna­ tion of him for his criticisms of ,the undesirable types .of citizens, regard­ less of the power of ^either labor or capital. Milwaukee. -- A movement, na­ tional in scope, to set aside a Moy- er-Haywood-Pettibone day early In May, on which day every union la the country is to protest against the action of President Roosevelt in de­ nouncing the Western miners before they have been tried, has been launched in Milwaukee. The plan is to have leaders in every city in the country agree on a day on which large demonstrations shall be arranged and the president taken to task not only for his utterances in his recent letter but more especially in his communi­ cation to Honore Jaxon, of Chicago, in®whlclf he reiterates his criticism. Close elections ore not uncommon in any representative government, but it is not often that one constituency is so closely divided for so long a time as the parliamentary division of North Tyrone, in Ireland. In the last five elections, beginning with that in 1892, the total number of votes cast lias varied less than 400. The largest majority at any election was- 91, says Youth's Companion. Once it was 55 and once 49. Nine was the majority of the Liberal candidate in 1906, and seven of his successor at the by- election in March of this year.

The tug did not arrive, however, and when finally anxiety began to be felt for her safety the harbor tug Johnston and the life saving crew went out into the lake and spent the night searching for some trace of the missing tug. A ' number of fish boxes which are supposed to have belonged to the searchlight were discovered floating, and thif is taken as a certain indi­ cation that" the tug has foundered. The crew of the Searchlight, all of whom are believed to be lost with their boat, was as follows: Capt.

" Pittsburg, Pa.--Two men weri WW- %d and 100 passengers had a thrilling escape from a like fate in a wreck on the Wabash raHroad Sunday when the engine and one passenger coach of Ivest-bound train No. 27 left the tracks half a mile west of the Bridgeville star tion near here and plunged into Char* tiers Creek, 40 feet - below. Tho dead are: Marion, Boyd, engi­ neer, of Rook Station, and Frank Mo Isaacs, fireman, of Barberton, Ohio. The train was made up of four pas­ senger coaches. It was crossing a trestle over Cfaartiers Creek when the engine suddenly leaped from the raihn and shot to the stream underneath, taking the first coach with it. The fore part of the engine sank several feet Into the mud of the creek bed* The coach was smashed to splinters by its terrific impact with the locomo­ tive. By what the railroad men regard as little more than mere chance there were no passengers in the front coach. The coupling between it and the sec­ ond coach was wrenched in two when it was torn from the trestle by the engine. None of those In the three jrear coaches knew of the accident or realized how close they 'had come to death until several minutes afterward when the cars deprived of motive power, slackened their speed and came to a stop. A new schedule went into effect on the road Sunday and to this fact many owe their lives. Under the new sched­ ule train No. 27 left this city 45 min­ utes earlier and over 50 persons miss­ ed the train for this reason. On ac­ count of the reduced number of pas­ sengers all were placed in the three rear coaches. The cause of the accident is thus far a mystery and the railroad officials will give out no statement until an in­ vestigation has been made.

Tha Pllia Have Cured the Dlaeaaa la Almoat Every Form and Evan In Advanced Stages. V Bhetunatism is a painful inflamma* tion of tiie muscles or of the coverings of the joints and is sometimes accom­ panied by swelling. The pain is shan» and shooting and does not confine itself to any one part of the body, but after settling in one joint or muscle for a time, leaves it and passes on to another. The most dangerous tendency of tha disease is to attack the heart. External applications may give relief from pain for a time bnt the disease cannot be cured until the blood is purified. Dr„ "Williams' Pink Pills are the best medi­ cine for this purpose as their action i* directly on the blood, making it rich, red and healthy. When the blood im pure there can be no rheumatism, Sirs. Ellen A. BugScil, of South. Golf St., Auburn, Me., says: "I had been sick for fifteen years from impure blood* brought on by overwork. My heart was weak and my hands colorless. I was troubled with indigestion and vomiting spells, which came on every few months. I had no appetite and used to have awfuJ fainting spells, falling do'wn when at toy work. I frequently felt numb all over. My head ached continuously for Aye years. "About two years I began to fed rheumatism in my joints, which became so lame I could hardly walk. My jointa were swollen and pained me terribly. "Dr. Williams' Pink Pills were rec­ ommended to me by a friend, after I had failed to get well from the doctor's treatment. When I began taking th» iiills, the rheumatism was at its worst. [ had taken only a few boxes, when tha headaches stopped and not long after­ ward I felt the pain in my joints be­ coming less and less, until there was none at all. The stiffness was gone and I have never had any return of the rheu­ matism." Dr. Williams* Pink f*illa hare cured such diseases as nervous and general debility, indigestion, nervous headache, neuralgia, and even partial paralysis and locomotor ataxia. As a tonic for tha blood and nerves they are unequalled. A pampiilet on "Diseases of tha ' Blood " and a copy of oar diet book will be sent free on request to anyone inter- ested.
