PRESIDENT TALKS MADE TWELVE SPEECHES IN TRIP ACROSS SOUTH DAKOTA. Telli People of Function of Individual la Building Up the State Aa Immense Crowd arrets Him at Every Step Number of Children Were Present, to His Pleasure. Aberdeen, 8. D., April 8. President Roosevelt yesterday traversed South Dakota and made more speeches than on any other day daring his present trip. He began with two speeches at Sioux Falls in the morning and ended his 12th speech in the evening at Aber deen. Speeches were confined to the most part to the tariff and to the gen eral prosperity of the country. In all his speeches he followed closely the lines of nig former addresses on these subjects. The president was accorded a cordial welcome at the different stop ping places, and at many station! where the train did not atop crowds gathered and cheered as the special train sped by. One feature of the day was the large number of children in the various audiences and the president re ferred to them several times, saying that he was glad to see that the stotk was not dying out. The president had as his guests dur ing the day Senators Kittredge and Gamble and Representatives Martin and Burke, the South Dakota delegation in congress. They left the train at Aberdeen. At Tulare the president departed from his custom and, descending from his car, shook hands with the people gath ered at the station. Yankton was the first stop after the train left Sioux Falls. To the multi tude at Yankton, the president spoke on the tariff and the qualities of good citizenship, saying in this connection: "It has been a pleasured Eee you, I can sum up all I have to say to you in a couple of phrases. You need wise laws. See that you get them. You need honest administration of the laws. See that you have it. But don't make the mistake of thinking that any law or any administration of law can take the place of the fundamental qualities that make a good individual citizen and make a good nation, the qualities of honesty, of courage and of good, com mon eeneo." At Mitchell the president made the longest address of the day. His audi ence was large and his speech was fre quently interrupted by applause. Here he discussed the work of individuals and the important part they play in the upbuilding of the nation. . ' "You can lift up a man if he stum bles, but if he lies down you cannot carry him. If you try to, it will not help him and it will, not help" you. So, fucdamentaly, it must rest upon yourself to win success. ' Aa I said, law can do something; wise legislation of the government can do something. If yon have laws badly administered they will stop any prosperity. It is easy enough to get a bad law that will stop the whole business, but to get a good law is not au easy. It is easy to sit -outBide and say how the man inside should run the machine, but it is not so easy to go inside and run the machine yourself. "This prosperity to which we have ' attained has been reached under a sei a oi economic moves included in a sys tem, though carrying out certain ideas in the currency and in the tariff. We cannot afford to reverse the system. Improvement can be made in it. In the tariff, for instance, schedules are not sacred, and, as the needs of the nation change and shift, it will be nec essary to change certain schedules to meet those shifting needs." MEXICAN RAILROADS BUSY. But Tbey are Said to Be Doing Business at an Actual Loss. Mexico City, April 8. Large busi ness concerns, while hoping for a apeedy settlement of the currency ques tion, report an excellent business both here and in the interior of the county. The general opinion is that the country baa in a large measure adjusted itself to the lower level of silver, and were the rail roads relieved by the adoption of some sound money system of stabilization there would be no unsound spot in the country's growing prosperity. The railway situation must continue serious until a measure cf relief adequute to their critical condition comes. The roads are doing a heavy business and are 1 ordering new equipment, but are in strict fact doing business at a loss. Chinese for Transvaal Mines. New York, April 8. Herbert Noyea and H.

Havana, April 8. Congress reas sembled today and will probably con tinue in aeeeion three extra montha on account of the necessity for the enact ment of many lawa before all the de partments of the government get thor oughly nnder way. A message from President Palma was read. The mes sage says: "Our relations with the United States continue to be close and cordial. Much more gratifying is the noble and reso lutely favorable attitude of the presi dent of that' great republic. It is enough to remember the obstaclea which hia stubborn will have overcome in negotiating the reciprocity treaty and obtaining the ratification thereof. and hia firm purpose to summon a spec ial session oi congress to definitely ap prove of it. Besides the sympathy and respect which we inspire among the American people by our exemplary con- duct as an independent people who re alize the duties and responsibilities of citizenship, these circumstances power fully contribute in solidifying the good understanding between the two nations. It is our interest to worthily culti vate these sentiments and we cannot do so better than by carrying out our obli gations to tne Washington government expeditiously, frankly and correctly. whether it la by grant of what we ought to grant, or refusing what we consider ourselves justified in refusing. "The government is at present occn pied with the Isle of Pines matter, and it has reason to hope that the settle ment thereof will be satisfactory to Cuba." President Palma expresses the hope mat me question of incorporating into the treaty all the provisions of the Piatt amendment will soon be settled, and adda that alter thia baa been done it will seem unnecessary that the Piatt amendment should remain any longer a pari oi tne constitution.

PRECEPTS OF A NEW DECALOGUE i Intended to Be Learned by Children In Bezgio, Italy. A new ten commandments, which the people of Reggio, in northern Italy, have lately adopted, Is of wide interest. This new decalogue Is not primarily for grown-ups, but for the children of the town, and it is expected that the little folks will, In their schools, learn the ten rules by heart, say a Collier's Weekly: Love thy schoolmates, for they will be thy co-workers for Lfe. Love knowldege, the bread of Intel lect. Cherish the same gratitude to ward thy teachers aa toward thy father and mother. Make every day thou llvest the occa sion for some good and beneficial deed; always sow the seeds of kindness. Honor good men and true women, es teem all men as equals, btnd thy knee to no one. Do not bear hatred to anybody; don't Insult people. The word revenge shall not be In thy vocabulary, but stand up for thy rights and resist oppression. Don't be a coward; stand by the weak and respect and love justice- Remember that all goods of this world are the products of labor. Whoever takes the good things of this world without giving their equivalent In labor robs the diluent of their Just dues. Exercise thy mind; observe and think and try to ascertain the truth of all things. Believe in nothing mysterious, In nothing unreasonable; use no decep tion either toward thyself or others. Do not assume that to be patriotic one must hate other natl. ns or glory In war. War Is a relic of barbarism. Let it be thy purpose In life to hasten the day when all men, as free citizens of a free state, shall live In peace and happiness, in true brotherhood. MISS RUTH HANNA MOUNTED ON HER FAVORITE HORSE.

Calveraitr of Penaaylvaaia Pnta Btoa to a Hamoroaa Caetoaa. , The new rule at the University of Pennsylvania, prohibiting the display of signs of all sorts, from "Girl Want ed" to "Rooms to Let" Is taken aa a sad blow by some of the students, who found much enjoyment In the school boy fun. Some of the students think their rights are being Interfered with, but all are expected to comply wlVt the sensible new rule. The signs, however, compelled many persona who passed the dormitories to laugh, not excluding some woo rode by on the way to funerals. Here Is one that hung below a win dow through which four handsome lads were often to be observed In their shirt sleeves, smoking and playing cards: Try our 15-Cent Course Dinner. Soup, Meat. Two Vegetables, Pie and Coffee. 15 Cents. In another room two lads were study ing. One translated an ode of Horace; the other read Plato. Fastened to their window was the sign: MASSAGE. A little further on hung a big red placard, with the legend in white let tcrs: I Heal The Sick. Old Dr. Gruudle. . Cure Guaranteed or Money Refunded. A modest little sign in black white was below this. It was: and PLAIN SEWING. Two youths had this sign affixed to their window: Artificial Limbs a Specialty. One apartment had three signs: Take Home a Fry In a Box. Watch Your Hat and Overcoat. This Registers the Amount of Your Purchase. Where the young undergraduates got all their signs no one knew. It may be that they employed men to make them for them. It may or may not be that they found them. WHAT SNOW COSTS RAILWAYS. Statement by Officials and the Popu lar Impreaaioa. The heavy fall of snow the past win ter, not only In the East, but through out the country, caused some talk In the financial district as to the possible effect upon railway earnings. The Im pression prevailed that a large Increase in operating cost might follow. Offi cers of the companies, however, when asked what this amounted to, replied that cost of removing snow, except at terminals, is comparatively slight on steam railroads. Even at terminals the expense does not nowadays count heavily. Even with roads In the far North west, President Lowry, of the Soo line. which has to deal with snow through North Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin and up to the North Lake region, re plied that the item of snow removal la insignificant. With all the snow of this winter, the only report that haa been heard of em barrassment on that account was the one about the stalling of the train on which James J. Hill was returning frotu Seattle to St. Paul about Christ mas time. Mr. Hill's train was de layed In North Dakota for about twelve hours on account of a heavy snowfall. The lines to the far North, especially Northwest, have always counted upon the expense of maintain ing snowplowa during the cold season. Seldom a winter' passes that they are not used on some division, but the past winter has not been unusual In this particular. In mountainous districts of the West the snowshed, or tunnel, haa been nec essary from the time the .railroads In that territory were built. New York Evening Post Uncontrollable.

It is not a little amusing to read among the advertisements of cast-off clothes In the columns of court dresses . for sale or hire during, the coming Dublin Castle season. There Is no luck of variety, and no "dirty pride" In . the manner of the advertisements, for Instance: "Castle season Black vel vet suit, complete, second hand;" "For sale Diplomatic court suit, second . class, almost new;" "velvet levee suit, complete with hat, sword and shoe buckles, for sale,1' and so on. One en terprising London firm has an agent In ; Dublin for . letting out all sorts of costumes for the castle ball season. . There la no reoson, perhaps, why a trade should not be done In castle cos tumes wlien there are people of posi tion who are endowed with frugal minds. But there has been a -It rumor In Dublin for a long time t..at trains and other forms of feminine finery have been lent for a considera tion without the intervention of any body connected with the "old do' " fraternity in other words, that, some distinguished ladies themselves at times, do a little seasonable trade. This hiring custom Is an old one. auu an advertisement published In a Dub lin paper in 1844, said to have beeu read In the House of Commons, ran thus: "Dublin Castle Notice Gentle men who propose attending the ap proaching levee at the castle can be supplied with a dark brown court dress on hire for 2s tid per suit each day. Secrecy observed. This being the lowest charge made for the hire of a dark brown suit to1 the humble class of people for the tee-total and. repeal procession, fancy balls, etc... there can be no deviation from it." These were the days, says the London News, of the Father Mathew temper ance and O'Connell repeal movements. Get Something Anyway.
