A New York.--The Hudsqn-Fulton celebration, for which New York has been so long preparing, opened aus­ piciously Saturday with the formal recognition of the presence of the American and foreign naval vessels and official guests. The international naval fleet, comprising more than 70 vessels, was anchored in the Hudson river from ' Seventy-secon ir street northward, and was an imposing sight At 10:30 o'clock in the morning the replica of Henry Hudson's little Half Moon and that of Robert Pulton's Clermont, escorted by a squadron Of : '.A girl cashier has been poisoned tfcr&ugh handling money. Her acci­ dent, however, is hardly likely to make the practice unpopular. Since Berlin's population is increas­ ing, London should listen carefully tp ffse if German is crowding the English language at headquarters. The president's sermon was an ap­ peal for amity between the people, for attributing the best rather than the worst motives to the action of others when possible to do so and not to harbor hatred or animosity. "A soft answer turneth away wrath, but grievous words stir up anger" was the text Mr. Taft selected from the book of Proverbs. The sermon was a homely utterance, largely made up of a relation of stories to give emphasis to the points. . From the tabernacle the president was driven to review about 20,000 school children. At one point along the line a thousand or more children had been arranged in a living flag, red, white and blue caps and capes serving to outline the national em­ blem. Thence the president proceeded to the Young Men's Christian associa­ tion, where he made a brief address to an audience composed entirely of men.

After this he left Salt Lake for Ogden, where he enjoyed an 18-mile ride through Ogden canyon and made his third ad­ dress of the day at Lester park there. When Senator Smoot introduced the president to the audience in the tabernacle the cheering was so great that Mr. Taft could not begin his ser­ mon for several minutes.

New Orleans. -- The counting of thff dead who perished in Mon­ day's tropical hurricane that swept the states of Louisiana and Mis­ sissippi, will undoubtedly continue for several days to come. While many bodies have been recovered, there is little doubt but that many more will be found and that others have gone down to watery graves that will nev­ er be known or marked. Conserva­ tive estimates with additional reports of wrecked boats and homes along the Louisiana coast place the death list at no less than 200. It wHl prob­ ably include more. Thousands of dollars worth of sup­ plies have been sent to the refugees and the work of rescue and assist­ ance is still going on. It 1b reported also that sickness is beginning to appear in some of the refugee camps and to meet this new condition a health bureau has been organised in Terrebonne parish and dally visits of physicians, with nurses attending the sick have been Inaugur­ ated. Tales of terrible hardship are be­ coming commonplace. One woman clung for 24 hours to a raft on which the dead body of her husband lay.

Goldfleld, Nev.--The twelfth annual session of the American Mining con­ gress opened here Monday with a large attendance.

There was an interchange of civilities with citizens' committees here and at the Brooklyn shore, and at one o'clock the squad­ ron started up the Hudson river. As the bluff-bowed little Half Moon and the funny, splashing Clermont en­ tered the river cannon boomed from shoie batteries and warships and the immense throng along the shores and on innumerable vessels cheered might­ ily. Behind the two queer craft trailed a great merchant fleet that had assembled in the lower ba? and that was divided into ten big squadrons.

Washington. -- Lee McClung, the treasurer of Yale university, has been selected as treasurer of the United States to succeed Charles H. Treat Chicago. -- Witnesses have been called before the grand jury to give the first testimony in connection with the jury-tampering scandal and to be­ gin formally the investigation^ of charges concerning conditions in the Cook county jury commission's office --accusations which State's Attorney Wayman made following the arrest on bench warrants of John J. Holland, the secretary, and a member of the jury commission; Nicholas J. Martin, private secretary of Alderman Mi­ chael Kenna, and Willis J. Rayburn, real-estate dealer. The issuing of sub­ poenas for witnesses to appear at the criminal court building was decided upon after investigators from Mr. Wayman's office discovered that at­ tempts were being made by powerful influences charged with being inter­ ested in the result of jury tampering to influence some of the witnesses re­ lied upon by the state to prove its charges in the scandal. Chicago. -- Inspector Edward Mc­ Cann was found guilty of extorting bribes -from fallen women and degrad­ ed men of the Pes Plaines street "red light" district by a jury in Judge Al­ bert C. Barnes' branch of the criminal court. This marks the end of a brilliantly fought trial in which State's Attorney Wayman has won a hard-earned vic­ tory, and which he has promised shall be only the stepping stone to fur­ ther prosecutions in his search for the "man higher up." It marked an unexpected conclusion for the efforts of the accused inspector and his attor­ neys, Charles G. Neely, J. Hamilton Lewis and W. T. Underwood. The penalty for accepting a bribe is from one to five years in the state penitentiary. The sentence is im­ posed by the court and will not be given until the ultimate fate of Mc­ Cann as far as the .criminal court is concerned is decided upon after hear­ ing all motions. McCann was Indicted by the July grand - jury, 12 true bills being re­ turned. Louis and Julius Prank were the chief witnesses before the jury, al­ though their testimony was supple­ mented by several levee characters. DR.

Helena, Mont.--Attired in a linen duster, an old black slouch hat and swinging an electric lantern at his side, President Taft Monday was locked in a narrow iron cage and dropped 1,200 feet through midnight blackness into the depths of the fa­ mous Old Leonard copper mine at Butte. He had the rare experience of seeing miners at work with a giant drill in a vein of high-grade ore that sparkled green with its wealth of min­ eral. When he had ascended with a whiz, after half an hour under ground, the president, blinking in the glare of the noonday sun, was cheered to the echo by the crowd of curious people gath­ ered at the hoist. He declared en­ thusiastically: "I would not have missed it for the world." It was the president's first visit to Hie Montana copper district and be­ tween the smelters at Anaconda and •the mines at Butte he had a series of interesting experiences. Not the least of these was a thrilling automo­ bile ride over the mountains from Butte to the mouth of the Leonard mine. The grades were steep and winding but the chauffeurs were ex. perlenced mqn, and while there was apparently no threat of danger at any stage of the trip, there was a sigh of relief when Mr. Taft had once more been placed safely aboard the May­ flower for the run to Helena. Arriving here, he went directly to the state fair grounds where, after viewing a portion of the exhibits he made an open-air address and wit­ nessed a race of cowboys. Returning to the city Mr. Taft reviewed a parade of school children. Leaving here he headed direct for Spokane where he delivered his for­ mal speech on the subject of the con­ servation of the natural resources and the reclamation of arid lands. President Taft walked with a limp when he first got off the train at Anaconda, the result of a sprained tendon in his right foot. The sprain occurred at Beverly. There is noth­ ing serious about the sprain and Mr. Taft did not let it Interfere in any way with his plans. The president made a flying trip through the Washoe smelter of the Amalgamated Copper Company at Anaconda, then proceeded into the city and after a brief address took the train for Butte. The crowds which greeted him on the streets there were the largest he had seen since leaving Chicago. The police had their hands full in opening a way for the automobile pro­ cession and after the president's car had passed the crowd swarmed in its wake. Speaking at the courthouse the president looked out upon a mass of humanity that blocked the square and spread far down the converging streets. He made a decided hit with the great throng when he told of the wonderful impression the country was making upon him, and ending by saying: "I am like the old Dutch­ man who said: 'The more you live the more you find, by goldy.'" Postmaster General Hitchcock, who joined the president at Anaconda, and Secretary Balllnger accompanied the president in the picturesque trip down the dark chute and through the cross­ cuts and drifts of tfre deep level. , GREAT ANNOYANCB.

The Quaker Oats Company is a con­ spicuous exception. It was admitted that Quaker Oats was as pure and clean as possible and that it was an ideal food. It is so cheap that any one can af­ ford it and so nourishing that every­ one needs it. The result of last year's experiments at Yale and other points where food values were tested is that Quaker Oats has been adopted by many persons as their food on which they rely for adding vigor and endur­ ance of muscle and brain. The Quaker Oats Compftny meets all demands in the way it packs Quaker Oats; regular size packages and the large size family package; the latter, both with and without chiaa, 4 Puzzle for the Gilist Every instructor at Chautauqua fa required to fill out a paper answer­ ing a number of necessary and un­ necessary questions.

For the thirty years preced­ ing an average annual profit of over <1 ,725,000 was accrued, one contract­ or alone spending $150,000 in adver­ tisements in a single year. The money thus raised was usually, for a particu­ lar purpose, such as the improvement of London, the purchase of Tompkins' picture gallery, or the repair of vari­ ous harbors. From the seventeenth century to the reign of George IV. the crown re-, peatedly drew considerable from such sources. : « "Horizontal Bill" Morrison III. Waterloo, III.--Col. William R.
