Early ip the morning this immense flotilla sailed far down the bay, and when, about 9 o'clock, the scouting tugs and motor boats came fiying io ‘with the word that the Kalserin Aw- fuste Victoria was approaching, all made ready for the first greeting. ‘As the big liner came into aight, ev- ery whistle on every vessel was tled ‘open and shrieked the welcome to the returning wanderer.

Within a few days, however, the committee was flooded with so” many appileations that the parade feature had to be tn part abaz- doned. Organizations from Maine to California and from the Gulf to the Great: Lakes requested places in the line of march, and if the project hed been carried cut, the procession would have extended trom the Battery to the Harlem river and back again, a distance of 20 miles, and the people who bad traveled hundreds of miles to see Roosevelt would have been de- rived of the pleasure. In order to overcome this obstacle so that no one would be offended, a unique arrange- ment was adopted by the committee. All organtzations that wished to par- ticipate in the parade were assigned certain blocks along the line of march; for Snstance, one or two blocks were assigned to some visiting club, and the next to the public, and 80 on, ‘The procession iteelt was compara. tively small and was led by the mount. ed police of New York, who were fol lowed by the pollce band on foot. ‘Then came the escort of 500 Rough Riders under the command of Robert Hunter of Oklahoma city, president of the organization.

The lives of childdren are too precious to be sacrificed to 2 senseless mania to celebrate. Cannon crackers and blank cartriiges should be absolutely prohibited.

CULMINATION OF LOVE MATCH Former President Witnesses Ceremony in New York Church—San Francisco to Be Home of the Couple. New York—Of all the June weddings of 1910, the one that has aroused the most general interest was that of Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., and Miss Eleanor Alexander which was celebrated in the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian church on June 20. A large number of prominent people witnessed the ceremony, but naturally Reading from left to right: Thecdore worth, Larz Anderson. THE FEDERAL MILITARY CONFERENCE Reading from left to right: Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., Mrs. Roosevelt, Mrs. Longworth, Larz Anderson. the most noticed person in the church, after the bride and groom, was Col. Theodore Roosevelt, father of the young man who was entering the state of matrimony. The date of the wedding had been set to permit the attendance of the former president, and this was one of his very first social engagements after his return from abroad, for he landed in New York only two days before. Mrs. Snowden Fahnestock, who before her own recent marriage was Miss Elizabeth Bertron, was the matron of honor, and the bridesmaids were Miss Ethel Roosevelt, Miss Jesse Millington-Drake, Miss Janetta Alexander, Miss Jean Delano and Miss Harriet Alexander. loon flight from Washington, in which he and the two army officers who were his fellow passengers had some rather exciting experiences. There was no little surprise on the part of the public when Theodore, Jr. upon the completion of his college two years ago, chose a business career as his life work, and still more wonder was aroused when he took employment in a Connecticut car pet factory in order to gather knowledge edge at first hand of the practical side of carpet manufacture. He started at the lowest round of the ladder, as an unskilled workman at a small salary. Of course he was promoted as he mas tered the intricacies of the business but he continued to live quietly in a THE HOME OF THE HUNTINGTONS The Roosevelt Home at Oyster Bay. Rev. Henry M. Sanders, a great uncle of the bride, officiated, assisted by Dr. Gordon Russell of Cranford, N. J. After the ceremony the bridal party was entertained at the home of the bride's uncle, Charles B. Alexander. At least a part of the honeymoon will be spent at Sagamore Hill, the country home of the Roosevelt family at Oyster Bay, Long Island. Later in the summer the young couple will start for San Francisco, where Mr. Roosevelt is to be in charge of the interests of the carpet manufacturing firm with which he has been associated for some time. The love story of the young couple has been a quick-moving romance. Their engagement was announced only last winter, and the news was cabled to Colonel Roosevelt, resulting in the speedy receipt of his approval and congratulations. The bride, who is the daughter of Henry Addison Alexander of New York, is twenty- Need of a Uniform Code Too Many Different Systems of Storm Signals In Use at the Present Time. Upward of twenty different systems of storm signals are at present used by the maritime countries of the world. A uniform international code is a desideratum, and the task of devising one was entrusted by the international meteorological committee to a small commission, which met in London last summer and agreed to recommend to the committee the adoption of a code proposed by Professor Moore, chief of the United States weather bureau. This code substitutes a few simple combinations of the large conical symbols now used at a majority of the European ports for the storm flags heretofore used in the United States and some other countries. Combinations of red and white lanterns are to be used at night to convey the same information as the day signals. The proposed code has not yet been, formally adopted one years old, of a little more than medium height, slender, and of very attractive appearance, having an especially beautiful complexion. She is as animated as her famous slater-in-law, Mrs. Alice Roosevelt Longworth, whose house guest she was for a time just before Mrs. Longworth sailed for England to join her father. Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., strongly resembles his father in looks, but is decidedly reserved and is generally credited with being far less democratic than certain other members of the family. As a boy he rode horseback and engaged in all the other outdoor pursuits of the juvenile Roosevelt clan at their home at Oyster Bay and he took some part in athletics during his preparatory school course at Groton and his collegiate course at Harvard, but in the main he has been less enthusiastic on the subject of life in the open than his father and brother Kermit. He has always been of a studious nature and his romance with Miss Alexander is said to have had its beginnings in the mutual love of these young people for music. For all that "Teddy, Jr." has eschewed the sensational in outdoor athletics, he did participate two years ago in a bal- Roosevelt, Jr., Mrs. Roosevelt, Mrs. Long- loon flight from Washington, in which he and the two army officers who were his fellow passengers had some rather exciting experiences.

Of course he was promoted as he mastered the intricacies of the business, but he continued to live quietly in a THE HISTORY OF THE CHURCH modest boarding house. Many persons were skeptical as to whether young Roosevelt would stick to so prosaxic an existence, but he is evidently determined to win his fortune in this sphere. Raven's Sharp Trick The best talking-bird new to the big collection in the London "Zoo" is a raven who came to the aviary last year. "Hullo! Jack!" is his favorite remark, and it is the voice of one who meets an unworthy friend. Soon after he arrived he used his conversational powers with great effect upon a lammergeler who shares his cage (relates the London Spectator). The lammergeler had a piece of meat which the raven desired, but he was unwilling to surrender it. The raven hopped up. "Hullo! Jack!" he began, and the lammergeler, agast at the voice of man, dropped his dinner and fled. But the lammergeler was never a bird of much spirit. by any government pending the decision of the international meteorological committee, which meets in Berlin next September. Since the London meeting objections have been raised by the German authorities to the proposed night signals on the ground that they are not sufficiently distinctive and might be confused with other harbor lights. The Deutsche Seewarte at Hamburg is now experimenting with several systems of night signals and will lay the results of its investigations before the committee.—Scientific American. Cultivating City's Vacant Lots. Vacant lot cultivation in Kansas City, Mo., is done this season under the direction of the City club. One nine-acre tract and several smaller lots have been set out in vegetables, the farming being done by needy persons. They are not taxed for soil, seeds or tools, and the City club has engaged a practical gardener to supervise the work. "This watch of mine is absolutely waterproof." "That is a great idea. it will not hurt the works when you 'soak' it." IN A SERIOUS CONDITION. A Case of Terrible Kidney Trouble. Henry Palmer, Cole and Walnut Sts, Barnesville, O., says: "My kidney trouble was caused by hardships and exposure in the army. The awful pains across my back gradually became more severe until I was in constant misery. My feet and hands were swollen to twice their natural size.

A Tart Tongue. Col. Robert C. Carter, at a Nashville banquet, was talking about campaign comrades. "Then there was Dash of Company A," he said. "Dash had the reputation of being the nastiest-tongued man in the regiment. "It was Private Dash, you know, who, out foraging one evening on a rich estate, came accidentally upon the owner's wife, a grande dame in evening dress. "Dash asked her for food. She refused him. He asked again. But, still refusing, she walked away. "No, she said, 'I'll give you nothing, trespassing like this!' I'll give you nothing. My mind is made up." "Made up, is it?" said Dash. "Like the rest of you, eh?" Didn't Know the Purpose. Mark Twain, as an example of unconscious humor, used to quote a Hartford woman who, said one day in the late spring: "My husband is the dearest fellow. Jim," I said to him this morning, 'are you very hard up just now?' "I certainly am hard up," he replied soberly. "This high cost of living is terrible. I don't know what I'm going to do." "Then, Jim," said I, "I'll give up all thought of going to the country for July and August this year." "But the dear fellow's face changed, and he said: "Indeed, then, you won't, darling. I thought you wanted to buy a hat with an aigrette or some such foolishness. No, no, my darling—Jim can always find the money to let his dear little wife go to the country." A DETERMINED WOMAN Finally Found a Food that Cured Her "When I first read of the remarkable effects of Grape-Nuts food, I determined to secure some," says a woman in Salisbury, Mo. "At that time there was none kept in this town, but my husband ordered some from a Chicago traveler. "I had been greatly afflicted with sudden attacks of cramps, nausea, and vomiting. Tried all sorts of remedies and physicians, but obtained only temporary relief. As soon as I began to use the new food the cramps disappeared and have never returned. "My old attacks of sick stomach were a little slower to yield, but by continuing the food, that trouble has disappeared entirely. I am today perfectly well, can eat anything and everything I wish, without paying the penalty that I used to. We would not keen house without Grape-Nuts. "My husband was so delighted with the benefits I received that he has been recommending Grape-Nuts to his customers and has built up a very large trade on the food. He sells them by the case to many of the leading physicians of the county, who recommend Grape-Nuts very generally. There is some satisfaction in using a really scientifically prepared food."

PASS POSTAL BIL CONCURRENCY BY SENATE IN HOUSE LEGISLATION IS ACHIEVED WEDNESDAY. "BIG STICK" BRINGS VOTE Measure Now Goes to President, Without Conference—His Signature Will Make It Law—Disposal of Deposits Was Main Issue. Washington—Lacking only the signature of President Taft to become a law, the first step toward postal savings was taken Wednesday when the senate concurred in the house postal-savings bank after voting down a number of amendments. President Taft's action in assuming a "big-stick" policy is regarded as having made the vote a certainty. The vote was 44 to 25. The bill now goes to President Taft without a conference. On the main issue of the legislation relating to the disposal of deposits in postal banks the house bill concurred in by the senate provides that 65 per cent. may be redeposited in the local banks and 30 per cent. may be used for the purchase of bonds backed by the taxing power of the national government. There is nothing arbitrary about either of these provisions, however. Five per cent. of the deposits will be retained as a reserve fund. As security for deposits in local banks, bonds backed by national, state and municipal government and other securities approved by the trustees may be used. The house bill creates a board of trustees consisting of the postmaster general, the secretary of the treasury and the attorney general, who are vested with discrimination in the administration of the systems including the designation of post offices as postal-savings banks. Deposits in these banks by one person shall not extend more than $100 a month, or a total of $500, on which interest shall be paid at the rate of two per cent. a year. An account may be opened with one dollar, but stamps may be purchased in the denomination of ten cents for those desiring to accumulate money to be deposited. At the request of the depositor government bonds in amount of $20, $40, $60, $80, $100 and $500 may be purchased with his deposit, the bonds to bear interest at 2½ per cent. These bonds will cover a refunding of the $64,000,000 of three per cent. government bonds outstanding and a new issue of Panama canal bonds. The banks will be required to pay 2½ per cent. interest on postal-bank funds deposited with them. AIRSHIP LINE IS OPENED Zeppelin's Dirigible Deutschland Carries Twenty Passengers 300 Miles in Nine Hours Duesseldorf, Germany—Regular airship passenger service was established Wednesday for the first time when Count Zeppelin's great craft, the Deutschland, carrying 20 passengers, made the first scheduled trip from Friedrichshafen to this city, a distance of 300 miles, in nine hours. The weather was perfect and the motors worked faultlessly. The average speed maintained was approximately 33 miles an hour, but between Friedrichshafen and Stuttgart 124 miles were covered at an average of 41 miles an hour. The best speed for one hour was 43½ miles. Count Zeppelin was at the helm when the Deutschland left at Friedrichsafen at 3 a. m. and sailed away on the trip that was to mark an epoch in aviation. The passengers were several directors of the Hamburg-American Steamship company and the German Airship Stock company, joint owners of the dirigible balloon, and guests. They occupied the mahogany-walled cabin between the gondolas, from the windows of which they viewed scenery as the aerial car swept along.

Philadelphia, Pa. May 5, 1908. I am a graduate student from Mrs. T. D. Perkins for four months; I can say that it has been perfectly satisfactory in every way. When I began taking her treatment I was very nervous, stubborn and broke off close to my scalp in some places. And now it is long and phable. I recommend to all to take Mrs. Perkins' treatment. Yours respectfully ALICE PAGE. HER CLAIM IS BONA FIDE. To Whom It May Concern: This is to certify that I have known Mrs. Perkins for nine years, and can testify that she did have three years ago, when she began treatment on her own hair. In two years she grew it to the lengths illustrated in her picture. She is a reputable citizen and her husband is a guarantee of straight dealing. C. A. FRANKLIN, Editor Denver Statesman. HUNDREDS OF WOMEN PRAISE HER. Denver, Col., April 22, 1909. To Whom It May Concern: I find a pleasure to say a word in praise of a Madam Perkins, and her remarkable success in scientific scalp treatment. Madam Perkins, for many years a resident of Denver, is an active member of Zion Baptist church, and one of the most favorably known women in our state. The beautiful hair of hundreds of women in our city and other parts of the state is a highlight of the woman's success in her profession. The woman's growth of her own hair is a most remarkable testimony. I cheerfully recommend her to all ladies who may be interested in the growing and beautifying of the hair. Respectfully, DAVID E. OVER, Pastor Zion Baptist Church. HER HAIR GROWS ONE INCH A MONTH Denver, Col., Aug. 9, 1997.

I thought I'd wait to see how I liked your treatment before writing, I also received your phone call, and I think you very much for interest shown. Now as to your treatment, I used the red shampoo, and eggs, as I thought the scalp must have thorough cleaning to start with, and you didn't designate which to use first. I must say, it was the most delightful shampoo I ever had, felt like I had a scalp (hard, thick, saline, it is the nearest thing to perfection I have ever used, as a dressing, and I don't think you've exaggerated its merits. (From the Denver Statesman.) A year ago the first announcement was made of the wonderful success which Mrs. T. D. Perkins had made in the growth of her own hair, and the success of her training, the best effort of her knowledge to the world at large. Being one of the best known women in this section of the country, already the news occasioned much comment, and many people who had known her for years, the first time that the magnificent sum of hair has now was the product of a very short time and that a bare three years ago she wore her hair in short curls, not braided and dressed as she now does. That success begets success, was evident from the start. She grew up in scald and the growth and beauty of the hair were filled at once. They grew in prodigious bounds and some weeks ago she was compelled to abandon her out-of-town classes altogether. She confines herself now at her home in the Highlands and to mail order business. In the special articles which will appear from time to time in this paper, we delight to call attention to the unique times achieved by people of this age, and that there may be honor paid to whom honor is due, and also that proper appreciation and patronage may come to pioneers in business for themselves and example and encouragement for us all go hand in hand in success won by members of our race. Even the mean spitted should not come when so much is accomplished for the whole people at the same time. In her business Mrs. Perkins does not play the part of a charlatan, but sets forth clearly the possibilities of her work, and her greatest endorsement is the painstaking endeavor and thorough edge she uses. We have seen her grow and grow, we know that she has succeeded and we, therefore, preface* that in no great length of time will she be doing a business that will rival any other business conducted by a woman of a race in any department of endeavor.
