' f -*><«odore Roosevelt is the youngest ^American citizen who has ever been oaiieu to the head of our- nation. He rWaS born in New York City, October *7. 1858, his father, after whom he was turned, being a prominent merchant} "• patriot, a philanthropist, and a mov­ ing spirit in the Civil W^r. The elder Theodore, Roosevelt went to. Washing­ ton after the first Battle of Bull Run, «nd warned President Lincoln that he ttust get rid of Simon Cameron as Sec­ retary of War, with the result that ,. Mr. Stanton, the "organiser of vic­ tory," took his place. When the war *M fairly under way, it was Theodore 8ooseve.lt who organized the allotment plan, which saved the families of eighty thousand soldiers of New York Stialp more than five million dollars of their pay; and when the war was over ho protected the soldiers against the •barks that lay in w<ut for them, and •*w to it that they got-employment. Through his influence the New York Bowsboys' lodging-house system and many other institutions of public bene- ®t and helpful charity were established. There were four children in the Roose­ velt family, of whom Theodore was the second. There were two boys an4 two girls. A younger brother was killed in a railroad accident, and the hopes of the father were centered on ThecJore. At the age of five or six, Theodore gave little promise of maintaining the pres­ tige of the Roosevelt family line. 'President's Early Hoyhood. He was a puny, sickly, delicate boy. Some one who knew him in those days of. the Civil" War described him as a "weak-eyed, pig-chested boy, who was too frail to take part in the sports of lads of his Age." When he arrived at the age o^ six. he was sent to the famous old McMullen School, where he remained for eight years. It was not, however, in New York that the boy 126"• PRESIDENT°fth' US.) cabin, and for several years mingled the life of a ranchman with that of a literary worker. From his front door he could shoot deer, and the mountains around him were full of big game. Amid such surroundings he wrote some of his most popular books. He became a daring horseman and a rival of the cowboys in f^ata of skill and strength. In 1886 Mr. Roosevelt was the1 Republican candidate tor Mayor against Abram S. Hewitt, United Democracy, and Henry George, United I^abor. Mr. Hewitt was elected by about twenty-two thousand plurality. Roosevelt spent with most profit the i in 1889 Roosevelt was appointed by months to which he looks back" with j President Harrison a member of the pleasure. The elder Roosevelt believed i United States Civil Service Commis- that children best thrive in the coun­ try. He selected a beautiful spot near the village of Oyster Bay, on the north shore of lx>ng Island, and erected a country house which well deserves its title.

By careful attention and plenty of *"• gynfnaaium exercise and out-of-door life his frame became more sturdy and his health vastly improved. It thus happened that when young Roosevelt en'ered on college life at Harvard, in ,v ,1875. he suffered little by comparison with boys of his age. While he did not stand in the front rank of athletics, he Was well above the average, and had V: no reason to be ashamed of his physi- 'll «*1 prowess. ** "' Never fOr a waking morAent was he Idle. It was either study or e'xercis°. f:- la addition to his regular studies and special courses he took upon himself the editorship of the college paper, and oiade a success of it. He was deaio- v <«ratiic in his tastes and simple in his ' mode of living. Theodore Roosevelt i'•* 'was graduated from Harvard in 1880 j With high honors. In spite of severe - Study, his health was but little im­ paired. and he at once started on a foreign journey in search of instruc­ tion, pleasure and adventure. He dis­ tinguished himself as a mountain •timber, ascending the Jungfrau. the . Matterhorn and many other peaks, aud was made a member of the Alpine Club Of liondon.

By re-election he continued in the >•- hody during the session of 1883 and 1884. He introduced important reform measures, and his entire legislative career was made conspicuous by the £. ^courage and zeal with which he as- ., sailed political abuses. As chairman of • »the Committee on Cities he introduced }l - ' the measure which took from the it'.;. Board of Aldermen the power to con- firm or reject the appointments of the i»ayor. He was chairman of the noted fV. legislative Investigating coinmittee i, jWhlch bore his name. In 1884 he weni * to the Bad Lands In Dakota, near the 0X-- * Pretty Buttes,** where he built a log- sion. His ability and rugged honesty in the administration of the affairs of that office greatly helped to strengthen his hold on popular regard. Police Commissioner in JVefecr VorK. Roosevelt continued in that office un­ til May 1, 1895, when he resigned , to accept the office of Police Commis­ sioner from Mayor Strong." He found the administration of affairs in a de­ moralized condition, but he soon brought order out of chaos. Says James A. Riis, who is an intimate friend of President-Roosevelt: We had been trying for forty years to achieve a system of dealing decently with our homeless poor. Two score years be­ fore, the surgeons of the police depart­ ment had pointed out that herding them In the cellars or oyer the prisons of police stations in festering heaps, and turning them out hungry at daybreak to beg their way from door to door, ws*s indecent and inhuman. Since then grand juries, acad­ emies of medicine, committees on phil­ anthropic citizens, had attacked the foul disgrace, but to no purpose. Pestilence ravaged the prison lodgings, but still they stayed. I know what that fight meant, for I was one of a committee that waged it year after year, and suffered defeat ev'ery time, until Theodore Roosevelt came and destroyed the nuisance in a .night. T remember the caricatures of tramps shivering In the cold with whlch- the yellow newspapers pursued him at the time, labeling him the "poor man's foe." And I remember being just a Sittle uneasy lest they wound him, and perhaps make him think he had been hasty. But not he. It was only those who did not know him who charged him with being hasty. He thought a thing out qulekly-- yes, that is his way; but he thought it out. and. haA ng thought it out, suited ac­ tion to his judgment. Of the consequences he didn't think at all. He made sure he was right: and then went ahead with per­ fect confidence that things would come out right. His A.d-oice to Org mixed Labor. Mr. Rjis says be never saw Roose­ velt to better advantage than when he once confronted the labor men at their meeting-place. Clarendon Hall: The police were all the time having trouble with strikers and their "pickets." Koosevelt saw that It was because neith­ er party understood fully the position of the other, and, with his usual directness, sent word to the labor organizations that he would like to talk it over with them. At his request I went with him to the meeting. It developed almost immedi­ ately that the labor men had taken a wrong measure of the man. They met him as a politician playing for points, and hinted at trouble unless their demands were met. Mr. Roosevelt broke them off short: "Gentlemen!" he said--with that snap of the Jaws that always made people, lis­ ten--"I asked to meet you. hoping that we might come to understand one anoth­ er. Remember, please, before we go fur­ ther. that the worst injury anyone of you can do to the cause of labor is to counsel violence.. It will also be worse for him­ self. Understand distinctly that order will be kept. The police will keep it. Now we can proceed." # I was never so proud and pleased as when they applauded him to the echo He P-^00'Se*)elt's Life at College. W- #:•'. More than ever, 'gtnee the presidency come to him, ^iave all things re- y .fating to Theodore Roosevelt taken on \s public interest. His past record is be- ^ Ing examined* into So thoroughly that " the people will knpw hi8 life as thoroughly i as though it were chit open book.Some interest ^ ^ |g taken In his co.lege record. There, as elsewhere, fa whatever he H(lid he showed unu.ual ensrgy, and |be same aggressive earnestness which N1" tarried him so far in later life. He 1% Exhibited a maturity of character, if ©ot of intellectual development, great- vfe ;S ©r than that of most of his classmates, was looked upon as one of the fer-^jnotable members of the class--eg one ^ . Who possessed certain qualities of h'-p • leadership and of popularity which slP'fe might carry him far in later life, if fit'- not counterbalanced by impulsiveness V'ln action or obstiracy In adhering to own ideas. He was certainly re- i-'iv garcled as a man of good fighting ygfe-AqHaiiiia*, of determination, pltuk and tenacity. If his c'aEsmatta had been asked in their senior y«.ar to pick out the one member of the class who?; would be beet adapted for such vice as that wh.ch h3 rendered with| the Rough Riders in Cuba, almost! with one voice they would have desig4 nated Roosevelt. . In his studies young Roosevelt wa# looked upon--to one of his classmate^ express^ it--"as peculiarly earnest and mature In the way in which he took hold of things." Both his fellows and his teacher8 say he was mucht above the ave age as a student. When he entered college he had al* ready developed the ta te for hunting and for natural ~hi3'0 y which has since led him so often and so faf through field and forest. His rifle and his hunting kit, the- skins and tro­ phies of the chase, were the most con­ spicuous things In his rooms. His birds he mounted himself. Live turtles and instcts were always to be found in his study, and one who lived reddened with pleasure, for he saw that the best in them had come out on top, as he expected It would. AttacKfd by "&ellotu" JVetaf papers. It was of this incident that a handle was first made by Mr. Roosevelt's ene­ mies in and out of the police board-- and he had many--to attack him: It happened that there was a music- hall in the building in which the labor men met. The yellow newspapers circu­ lated the lie that he went there on pur­ pose to see the show, and the ridiculous story was repeated until actually the liars persuaded themselves that It was so. They would not have been able to under­ stand the kind of man they had to do with, had they tired. Accordingly they fell into their own trap. It Is a tradition of Mulberry Street that the notorious Seeley dinner raid was planned by,his en­ emies in the department of which he was the head. In the belief that they %otiId catch Mr. Roosevelt there. The dinners were supposed to be his "set." Some time after that, Mr. Rils was in Roosevelt's office when a police of­ ficial of superior rank came in, and re­ quested a private audience with him: They stepped aside and the policeman spoke in an undertone, urging something strongly. Mr. Roosevelt listened. Sud­ denly I saw him straighten up as a man recoils from something unclean, and dis­ miss the other with a sharp: "No, sir! I don't fight that way." The policeman Went out crestfallen. Roosevelt took two or three turns about the floor, struggling evidently with strong disgust. He told me afterward that the man had come to him with what he said was certain knowledge that his enemy could that night be found in a known evil house up­ town, which ,lt was his alleged habit to visit. His proposition was to rkld It then ahd so "get square." To the policeman it- must have seemed like throwing a good chance'away. But it was not Roosevelt's way: he struck no blow below the belt. In the governor's chair afterward he gave the politicians whom he fought, and who fought him, the same terms. They tried their best to upset him, for they had nothing to expect from him. But they knew and owned that he fought fair. Their backs were secure. ' He never tricked them to gain an advantage. A promise given by him was always kept to the letter. Assistant Secretary of fia*)y. Early in 1897 he was called by Presi­ dent McKinley to give up his New York office to become Assistant-Secre­ tary of the Navy. His energy and quick mastery of detail had much to do with the speedy equipment of the navy for its brilliant feats in the war with Spain. U was he who suggested Admiral Dewey for commander of the Asiatic station. Dewey was -sometimes spoken of - In those days as if he were a kind .of fashion-plate. Roosevelt, however, had faith in him, apd while walking up Connecticut avenue one day said to Mr. Riis: "Dewey is all right. He has a lion "heart. He is the man for the place." No one now doubts the wis­ dom of his selection, and naval officers agree that the remarkable skill in marksmanship displayed by the Amer­ ican gunners was due to bis foresight. He saw the necessity of practice, and he thought it tlie best kind of economy to burn up ammunition In acquiring skill. A characteristic story is told regard­ ing Roosevelt's insistence on practice in the navy. ~ Shortly after his appointment he asked for an appropriation of $800,000 for ammunition, powder, and shot for the navy. The appropriation was made, and a few months later he asked for another appropriation, this time of $500,000. When asked by the proper authorities what had become of the first appropriation, he replied: "Every cent of it was spent for powder and in the house with h'm at the time re­ calls well the excitement caused by a particularly large turtle, sent by a shot, and every hit of powder and shot has been fired." When he was asked what he was going to do-With the $500,- 000, he replied: "Ua6 every ounce of that, too, witluii the next thirty days in practice shooting." His Cuban ttfar ^Record. Soon after the outbreak ot the war, however, his patriotism and love of active life led him to leave the compar­ ative quiet of his government office for service in the field, As a lieutenant- colonel Of volunteers he recruited the Kirst Volunteer Cavalry, popularly known as the "Rough Riders." The men were gathered largely from the cowboys of the west and southwest, but also numbered many college-bred men of the ea£t In the beginning he was second in cjmmand, with the rank of lieutenant-colonel, Dr. Leonard Wood being colonel. But at the close of the war the latter was a brigadier- general and Roosevelt was colonel la command. Since no horses were trans­ ported to Cuba, this regiment, togeth­ er with the rest of the cavalry, was obliged to serve on foot. The regi­ ment distinguished ftself in the San­ tiago campaign, and Colonel Roosevrtt became famous for his bravery in lead­ ing charge up San Juan HiU on July 1st. He was an efficient officer, and won the love and admiration of his men. His care for them was shown by the circulation of the famous round- robin which he wrote protesting against keeping the army longer In Cuba. JK.s Governor of ffetv Jforfi. Upon Roosevelt's return to New York there was a popular demand for his nomination for governor. Pre­ vious to the state convention he was nominated by the Citizens' Union, but he declined, replying that he was a Republican. The Democrats tried to frustrate his nomination by attempting to prove that he had lost his legal resi­ dence in that state. That plan failed and he was nominated in the conven­ tion by a volte of 753 to 218 for Gover­ nor Black. The campaign throughout the state Was spirited. Roosevelt took the 'stump and delivered many speeches. His plurality was 18,079. As the campaign of 1900 drew near, the popular demand that * Roosevelt's naiqe should be on the National Re­ publican ticket grew too imperative to be Ignored by the leaders. The honor of the nomination for Vice-Pres­ ident was refused time and time again by Roosevelt, who felt that he had a great duty to perform as governor of New York state. Says Cal O'Laughlln, apropos of the Republican National Convention, which was held in Philadelphia on June 19, 20 and 21, 1900: domination at Philadelphia. On the evening of the first day of the convention, Roosevelt saw Piatt. "My name must not be presented to the con­ vention," he told him. Piatt was mad, and mad clean through; but he acquiesced ami Roosevelt returned to his apartment to run Into the arms of the Kansas dele­ gation. "We do not request" you to ac­ cept the nomination," said State Senator Burton: "we do not urge you to accept the nomination, but we propose to Issue orders to you, and we expect you to obey them." Throughout the delivery of Mr. Burton's remarks, Roosevelt stood, with shoulders square and feet at right angles, his chin occasionally shooting forward, as If he were on the point of objecting to the argument that he alone could rescue "bleeding Kansas" from demagoglsm and populism But he waited patiently until the address was ended, and then appealed to the Kansans to take his words at their face value, and vote for some one of the candidates. But his appeal was useless, for Senator Burton, grasping his handi congratulated him "In advance upon his nomination aud election," and the dele* gation enthusiastically approved the sen­ timents. So certain was Kansas .that Roosevelt would be the choice of the con­ vention, that it had printed a huge plac­ ard, bearing the words in large, black type: "KANSAS DELEGATION FIRST TO DECLARK FOR GOVERNOR ROOSEVELT.*' AnaV when the nomination was declared to have occurred, triumphantly carried it about Convention Hall. After his nomination, Roosevelt said: I held out as long as I could. I had to give in when I saw the popular sentiment of the convention. I believe It Is my duty. Now that it is all over, I want to say that I appreciate fully thii sentiment which accompanied my nomination. The unan­ imity and enthusiasm of the convention for my nomination never will be forgot­ ten by me. • t During ^he political campaign which followed, he traveled 16,100 miles, flashed through 23 states, delivered 459 speeches, containing 860,000 worda» and made his appeal directly to 1,- 600,000 persons.

Haverly, {known all over the country as ••Jack" Haverly, nowhere caused more sincere regret than in theatrical circles gen­ erally, Mr. Haverly and his "Masto­ don Minstrels" always have retained a -warm place in the recollections of play­ goers. The "Forty--Count 'Em--For­ ty" troupe with which Mr. Haverly carried a wave of whoiescime laughter across the continent twenty-odd years ago maraed the high tide of American itage minstrelsy. It also marked the acme of Mr. Haverly's daring and sue* cessful career as a theatrical manager. Though he was at one time the owner ot six theaters and thirteen road com­ panies, his activities always centered more or less in Chicago, where he made one of his first successes by leas­ ing the old Adelphi theater in the '70s. By the time he had built the Haverly theater in 1880, he was in the flood-tide of his prosperity and was able to make his theater virtually the home of Amer­ ican minstrelsy. He always was noted for the daring nature of his ventures. JOHN H. HAVERLY. yet as a rule his enterprises were suc­ cessful so long as he remained in the theatrical business. In other fields he often lost heavily. Times have changed and the negro minstrels have been su­ perseded by the vaudeville, yet the,ef­ fects of Mr. Haverly's influence on the lighter phases of American theatrical life still are apparent at the present time.' Almost ev.ery leading manager tn the stage world of today received a part of his early training under Haver­ ly. , Personally he was a delightful companion, honest, straightforward and full of contagious enthusiasm.

Cramp, the veteran naval shipbuilder, has created a sensa­ tion by his letter to the navy depart^ hient condemning^ the application of the superimposed turret in the recent type of battleship. These turrets are, to use the vernacular, two stories in design, the upper enclosure containing, generally, eight-inch rifles, and the " ( lo wer the uttuiu heavy long twelve- inch guns. They have been adopted after much discus­ sion in the Ameri­ can navy after hav­ ing been discoun­ tenanced in every other navy. • The comment of Mr. Cramp, coming from a practical shipbuilder of the highest repute, deserves and will re­ ceive the highest consideration, and ap­ pears to be based upen the experience of naval men in actual engagements, as well as upon his own Judgment. A number of the heaviest of recent bat­ tleships have been fitted with this type df turret, which has, however, never fceen la r.3s in battle, but bids fair, in, Mr. Cramp's estimation, to further complicate the handling of the guns in the turrets, already difficult by reason Of the meager view of the target af­ forded by the peep-holes. Indeed, Mr. Cramp advocates turrets entirely open at the top, holding that the chances of displacement from a shot falling In the turret are so meager as to make the room worthless, while It prevents, ventilation and otherwise embarrasses the gun crew.

Dr. Swallow has explained these utterances as having been in­ tended as political comment only, and not by way of re­ flection upon the dead President.
