ROOSEVELT ON iT UYBTER BAY, L. I.,Sspt. B.-Pres-ldent Roosevelt participated today ID tbe 200th anniversary o( Christ Kpls oopal Oburob, whloh he attends dur ing hla summers here. The keynote : of the President's speech, whloh oo oapled halt an hoar and oonolnded a series, of four addresses, waa that -the wealth of the nation must not be disregarded, but looked upon aa the baala for spiritual de velopment, clean living and'olvio virtue. "This ,'oouatry would not be" an abode fit' for civilized men if it were not true that We put our material proa prrity, as the only base upon wblob to bnlld the iraperatraotare of the higher spiritual life. Speaking here today as a layman, I wish to empba aize ing viuti importance 01 our pew pie being" taught to realise that the highest value of obrlatlanity manifest itself in the conduct Of thoae who pro- fees it, :- ' "It ia true that In many thing the tendencies at work among ua today are evil, but it ia .true also that there ; good. ' I am not prepared to assent to the statement that we are ao muon worse than we used to be, but it ia not Of importance whether, as a mat ter 'Of academic belief, we hold that Things have grown better or worse, What Is of vital importance la that we should be resolved to do all In our power now aa weH as In the future to make them better and, tf we are a unit In that ballet, It la open to qs to differ as regards the other matter. "I feel that there haa been a real growth in broad christian oharity. 1 19811676 that In the different oreede are in the essentials, in reallv vital things, ooming closer all the time; be cause I think that they are grasping toe faot that the way In whloh they .Ban best eervetbe'Lord la not by war ring against one another, 'but by join ing hand In the great struggle agalnet unrighteousness, 'in the great war for deoency, for'honeaiy, for olean living In the home no leas tnan in the na tion. The. worth of any creed must in the long run be .'judged largely by the conduot of those who: profess it, "Tbe mpst effective servioe for Christianity that -can possibly be giv en la to show in actual life that those ' who profess It do give in their con duot an approximate-expression to the -faith that 1b in them. I doubt U any ot us would be able to give more than snch approximate expression of that , faith.; nevertheless, we oan eaoh of ua strive in-our oonduot to show that the 1 word -is allvein ua; that we are atrlv- 3us to live 'UP to the essentials of Christianity, of the brotherhood of God and tbe brotherhood ot man as thnv are'tauirht in th ' Bible, aa thev arepreaohed'to ua Sunday after Bun- day. '"It is the conduot of the average christian, not on Sunday, but on weekdays, not in the oburob alone, but in his family and in bis relations to 'hiB neighbor and to the state, that -will more than anything else deter mine In the eyes of the general pub' lio the worth of the oreed that man prof esses. This applies in 'little things much as In big things. It applies in the little things, which in their sum are el big. Man is not a good chris tian if his domestic oonduot is auoh that when he returns to hiB home his -wife and obildren feel uneasiness at nla coming. The man Is not ' good christian who in hiB business dealings fails to remember that it is inoumbent upon him, if be la a very riob man, to make It evident, alike in the way he earns and the .way he mends hiB fortune : that tbe word of the Lord is to blm a living truth and not a dead dootrine. And, of oourse, what 1 say applies more strongly to the man in public life. "The nominal ohrlstian, the man who haB attended to all tbe outward observances of ohristianity with no matter wnufc scrupulous oare, who nevertheless embezzles trust funds, or suffers disgraoe in business, in poll' tics or in home life, is more, not less, blameworthy than if he had never made profession of belief." . Marrled-Moere-Buck. Guv M. Moore and Miss Lillian Buok rather surprised tholr many friends Sunday afternoon by quietly uniting their fortunes,1 for the fu ture, It was euspeoted, of course, that eucb an event was likely to hap pen, but not quite ao Boon.

F CASE CLOSES After calling five witnesses, only one of whom had not previously testi fied for the prosecution, the , defense In the Blue mountain forest reserve case secured an early adjournment pf the Federal court from Judge aunt Saturday afternoon. . ' y'j i . The government had a few odds and enda to tlx up la the, morning before Prosecutor Heney '.waa i entirely eatae fled to rest hla ate. Like the oarelul marinor who : adjusts, nls -compasses before embarking on a voyage, the special assistant to the' attorney-gen, aral wanted everything In ship-shape, and for that reason patched up every place la' the evidenoe that might afford a loophole of escape in the event taat the appellate '. eourt should finally acquire jurisdiction of the ise. ; -v.--.: ': : ' v.'.'1 .". Announcement that , the . defense woold begin the Introduction of evi dence had the effeot of attracting an unusually large audience, ' Governor Chamberlain and United States Sena tor Mulkey, beeldeea many other well known persoaagea, being intonated spectators. , A. O. Woodcock, ah attorney of En- gene, was tbe flut witness plaoed on tbe stand by tbe defenee, and the on-! ly hew one of the quintet that teed-' fled. He was one of th; lawyers who defended S. A. D. Puter and Horace MoKinley in the famous "11-7" case, on whloh indictment Puter, McKln- ley, Dan W. Tarpley and Mrs. Enrma L. Watson were oonvloted la Xovem her, 190s,' ' " He testified that tbe law office -or Judge M. L. Pioes was made the headquarters of all the lawyers lor tbe defense in that case, and that, besides Judge Pipes and himself, the defendants were represented by Judge Thomas O'Day. of Portland, 'and Charles A. Hardy, of Eugenes, Or., whq appeared tor Marie L. Ware. According to Woodcock, F. P. Mays was never in attendance at any of these consultations among tne attor neys for the defense, and there waa nothing to Indicate that be represent ed Puter in any way, as testified to by the latter last Thursday, ?Y Almost the first question that Mr. Heney asked Woodcock: on cross-ex-aminaion came like a warning to the attorneys for the defendants that whoever sought to assail the credibil ity of Puter would be met more than half way In the game. The govern ment proBecutor is firmly -convinced that Puter told the truth on tbe stand, and it will be treading on dangerous ground for the defense to undertake to Impeach his testimony. All the time that Heney was direct ing the tire of hie batteries in the di rection of the witness, it was ap parent to everybody that he intends to assail Puter's credibility, and that whoever oomea under the limelight of criticism in this Tespeot must himself be spotless. "I waa employed in the oaBe soon after tbe indiotments were returned against Puter and MoKinley," testi fied Woodoock. "Charlea A. Hardy, of Eugene, engaged me," hp -contin ued, in reply to Honey's inquiry it it were not a faot that he was tne attor ney for the Booth-Kelly Lumbar Com pany, some of the offleere of which are under indictment at the present time, and if his appearance on the witness-stand was not part of a plan of the corporation to aid in defeating tbe endB of justioe in the case at bar. Woodcook denied that he was actu ated by auy such motives, and fur thermore duolared tbat he was not in toxioated neBrly every night while the oase was going on, aa suggestively in-, timated by Heney. The witness ad mitted tnat Pucer bad paid h m -for bis services, partly during the trial, and that while the trial was in pro gress Puter attempted to disoharge him. Judge Fenton, attorney for F. P. Mays, W. N. JoneB and George Sored -son, under trial for land fraud con spiracy, announced at 3 o'olook Mon day afternoon that the defense was ready to rest its case. Theannounoe ment oame suddenly and wbb entirely unexpected by the proseoution. When the trial of F. P. Mays, W. N. Jones and Oeorge Sorenson waa resumed Mrs. S. B. OrniBby, wife of Captain Ormsby,was called by the defnnse and questioned regarding the interview between Secret Service Operative W. J. Burns and Captain Ormsby, when Burns asked him who nad been talk ing to him to get him to shield Binger Hermann. Mrs. Ormsby said that Burns threatened to indict her son unless he confessed. Mrs. Ormeby said she begged Captain Ormsby to Bay whatever Burns wanted him to.' .."Did vou beg him to say whatever Burns wanted him to day, whether It waa true or not?" asked Mr. Fenton. "V'es, but Mr. Burns Bald he didn't want him to tell anything but the truth." said tbe witness. On cross-examination Mr. Heney drew from Mrs. Ormsby that W. M. La Force, a local lawyer, bad been to see her husband several times aince tbe trial begun, and had insisted to Ormeby tbat he waa mistaken regard ing dates, ;y' Mrs. F. P. Mays and U. U. Carey, Senator Maya' law partner, testified that Mays was in poor health at tbe time Puter's oaae was up. PORTLAND, Ore., Sept. IX The long trial ot Senator Mays, Wlllard N. Jones and George Sorensou for enter ing a conspiracy to defraud the gov ernment in oreating the Blue moun tain forest reserve, will go to the jury late tonight, unless the unexpected happens. W.Lali. H1U, of counsel for tbe defenee, spoke tor two hours this afternoon,: He -will be followed by William 'D. Kenton, and Judge Martin L. Pipes, fhls afternoon, and at the ..night session, Special Assist ant Attorae-jGeneral Heney will close the oaaa - for the government in a speech that promisee to be of three hours' duration. ' Unless the hpui is too lata. Judge, Hunt,, will charge tbe jury 'and the' result will likely be known by, tomorrow -.morning..,. Over three weeks have 'elapsed since, tbe trial began, and judge, lawyers and jury are weary ot the long strain. Bid FtrtweR io Pastor. ' - The farewell,- .reception tendered Rev. and Mrs. Ojaistansat the Baptist churchy Saturday evening waa attended by a large number . of their friends, both members ' of the church and others. An hour or more waa spent in social oonverse, after whloh a program was given consisting of vocal and In strumental muslo and short addresses by pastors of the different churches, all of whom spoke .of - tbe good work done by Mr. Garatens during hla pas torate and expressing regret at his de parture. . - Rev. W. P. Shields, on behalf of the Ministerial Association, spoke op on tbe work of Mr. and Mrs. Caratena in Medford. Mr. Cartaena waa appre dated by bis congregation and bia hrnthAF ministers for hia abllltv. his onrlstlanity and hla leaderahlp. While there bad been times when things dia not appear in the same light to all, it was always manifeat that tbe feeling of devotion to the same cause ani mated the minis of all. Mr. Caraten'a call to tne chair in tbe AJcMinnvllle College waa proof that bia ability was known and acknowledged I not only among hla friends and co-workera here, but In other places aa well, Mrs., Caratena had been aa faithful in her work aa her husband had in his, and her teaoning had- ever, been for the good of thoae coming under her influence and for the upbuilding of the true christian spirit.

The hat is on a trip from Newark, New Jersey, to San Franoia co, and was started on its journey on June 22d. It has been carried through courtesy of express agents, baggage men and freight clerks and apparent ly every one handling, it haa placed a tair or inaoriDtlcn UDonnt until now it la bard to determine vjhat It is.

M. U Pellett, of Talent, has reoeiv- ed word that a carload of. Bartlett. 'pears, shipped by him to Montreal, j nad been sold for 1485. There were 476 boxes in thla particular car, bo the gross price realized per box was $3.12. The dlepatoh added that other Bartlette in competition with Mr. Pel 'lett's fruit brought $1.90 per box on i the same day. This i believed to be the record prloe this season for Rogue river pears, and the best obtained ' this year by any Paoifle coast fruit in the eastern markets. The day before Mr. Pellett received a wire stating that another oar of Bartlette shipped by him to Boston had been Bold for $1295. This car comprised 486 boxes so tbat the prioe realized per box at Boston waa $2. GO. Two oars previous ly sold at Chicago brought a triile lower prioe and two other cars he has not yet had returns from. The six oara represent the product -of ten aires of orchard and at the Bame rate the gross receipts will be about $7500, leav'ng Mr. Pellett from $3300 to $3500 dear money. The Jackson county grand jmy, in sesBion at Jacksonville, last weeK, failed to find a true bill against W. J. Booaey, for alleged libel.
