In prison and to pay a fine of. 3300. In
addition, any property he may at somo
future time acquire will be subject to
"Judgment for costs In the case amountin
to over J10.000.
Judge McPherson read the iudement-
He attributed the downfall of Balllet not
so much to criminal Instincts as to vanity
and his desire to" exploit himself. In pass
ing judgment, the court stated also that
Balllet could not be given a good defense
because under the statutes he was re
qulred'to deny the motion which had been
made that witnesses for the defense be
brought here at the expense of the Gov
ernment from California and Oregon.
The White Swan gold mine at Baker
City, Or., which was nothing more than
an abandoned shaft, was acquired by Bal
let for a mere song and constituted the
basis upon which he secured something
like 5250,000 by a get-rich-quick process.
The Judge In passing sentence said he
was convinced the mine was a worth'ess
holo in the ground. Much indignation is
expressed at the lightness of the sen
tence. PAETY IS EASLY ASTER.
Great -Crowd Surrounds President's
Car at an Early Hour.
ST. LOUIS, Nov. 26. President Roose

early astir, preparing for their day of
record-breaking sightseeing. In the party
are President. Roosevelt, Mrs. Roosevelt,
Miss Roosevelt, Mr. and Mrs. Douglass
Robinson, . Secretary and Mrs. Loeb and
Surgeon-General Rlxey, U. S. N.
Breakfast was served in their car, which
was surrounded by a great crowd of
"World's Ealr visitors. Although kept
at a distance, they were able to see the
President, who sat in full view before
one of the windows during the morn
ing meaL He seemed as much inter
ested in the people as they were in
him.
Shortly after breakfast had been
finished President Francis, -with Mayor
Wells and a committee of exposition
officials and directors, appeared at the
car to pay their respects to the Chief
Executive. The reception was very in
formal, the party walking through the
car and meeting the members of the
party. The party then proceeded to
the Liberal Arts building:, which was
the first of tho great exhibit palaces to
be seen.
Two battalions of the Eighth United
States Cavalry, from Jefferson Bar
racks, under command of Colonel An
derson, and a platoon of mounted po
lice, preceded the carriages. In the -first
carriage were President and Mrs.
Roosevelt and President D. R. Francis,
of the exposition. Mr. Douglas Robin
son, Miss Alice Roosevelt and Mayor
Rolla Wells occupied the second car
riage. The 20 or more carriages that
followed contained the other members
of the Presidential party, exposition of
ficial and Secret Service men. An
other platoon of mounted police
brought up the rear and kept back an
Immense crowd anxious to keep up with
tho party.
Kept Busy Responding to Cheers.
The route of the procession was
thronged with people, who gave the
President an ovation and kept him
busy responding1 to their cheers. , As
the party proceeded through the
grounds President Roosevelt repeated
ly lifted his hat to those on the right
and left.
Arriving at the Liberal Arts building,
which, with all the other exhibit pal
aces, was closed to the general public,
the Presidential party alighted from
their carriages and entered for a hasty
inspection of the exhibits. At the con
clusion of this inspection carriages
were again entered, at the other side of
the building, and the party proceeded
to the Government building, where, af
ter a short time spent in sightseeing.
President Roosevelt reviewed, the mili
tary. Among the bodies of troops in the
reviewing line -were the Sixteenth
United States Infantry, Ninth United
States Cavalry. Eighth United States
Cavalry and the Philippine scouts and
constabulary, headed by their respect
ive bands.
The thousands who thronged about the
Government building took advantage of
every projection on the surrounding struc
tures, the pedestals of numerous statues,
the lagoon bridges and other elevations to
enable them to see the President and the
parade.
While in the Government building a
numerous body of men and women desir
ous of meeting the President had carefully
blocked the aisle by which he was ex
pected to pass out. Ho was completely
trapped and made no attempt to escape.
Walking up. hat in hand, he met mem
bers of the board of lady managers, who
were there in a body, headed by the
president; Mrs. Daniel Manning; the
heads of the various departments of the
Exposition, and several individuals there
in an unofficial capacity. He met them all
with the same greeting-, -"So glad, so
glad." Before leaving the vicinity of thq
Government building the President was
escorted to that nearby, occupied by the
fisheries exhibit. Everything there pleased
mm immensely.
The party again took carriages, and as
the procession moved around the Mines
and Metallurgical building on its way to
the German building, eager crowds of en
thusiastic people were seen everywhere.
Arriving at the beautiful structure, which
is a replica of the f amouB Charlo ttenburg
palace, President Roosevelt was -met by
the German Commissioner-General to the
World's Fair. Theodore Lewald, who con-,
ducted him inside with the remainder of
the party.
The entry of the party was made to the
music of the chimes of the Belgian palace
and the strains of an orchestra. After
greeting President and Mrs. Roosevelt.
Commissioner-General Lewald turned to
Miss Alice Roosevelt, for whom he gave
an elaborate ball when she was here in
the Summer, and they met as old friends.
Walking quickly through the lower par
lors, the party climbed the -stairs to tho
upper floor, where an informal luncheon
was served. Commissioner Lewald pre
sented the President with a "pokal," a
massive metal goblet from Aachen. It
contained a liberal draught of wine, and
as the President sipped this, the donor
explained the history of the goblet and its
contents.
The party was driven west over the
summit of Festival Hill and down the
western slope to the main portion of the
exposition, affording the President a full
view of the principal lagoon basin, the
Cascade and the plaza of St. Louis. Con
tinuing west at a canter, the carriages
were drawn Into the French pavilion gar
dens. President and Mrs. Roosevelt and other
members of the party were Immediately
escorted Into the reception-room of the
French pavilion. Commissioner-General
George Gerald met the party and tendered
a warm greeting, speaking in French.
President Roosevelt responded by propos
ing a toast to President Loubct and the
republic of France.
When President Roosevelt had spoken
and the glasses of champagne had been
sipped in honor of the toast, a massive
bouquet of American Beauty roses were
presented to Mrs. Roosevelt by the French
Commissioner. Light refreshments were
partaken of, and the party passed through
and viewed the pavilion. Altogether not
over 20 minutes were spent here. The
party then proceeded to the pavilion of
Mexico.
While being shown through the Holland
building President Roosevelt noticed a
2-year-old child in the arms of its mother.
Stepping up he patted the baby on the
cheek, and then, turning with beaming
face, he called to Mrs. Roosevelt: "Oh,
Edith, come here; I want you to see a
genuine little Dutch girl."
Mrs. Roosevelt smilingly took the child
in her arms, and for a moment both the
President and his wife fondled the baby.
From the Holland building the party
proceeded to the pavilions of Austria and
Sweden, where but a few moments "were
ppent In each, and then proceeded to
visit rapidly the other different national
pavilions situated immediately east of
Administration terrace.
Eight minutes was the duration of time
spent In the building of Great Britain,
where President Roosevelt and his party
were greeted by Colonel Watson, the Eng
lish commissioner, and conducted through
the stately rooms. Visits were then made
to the pavilions of Cuba, Belgium, Aus
tria and Italy In rapid succession.
In the odd and picturesque Chinese pa
vilion President Roosevelt was presented
with a painting of an Oriental figure 300
years old. Mrs. Roosevelt was the re
cipient of a curiously carved and inlaid
box. In response to the felicitations of
the commissioner from China, Mr. Wong.
President Roosevelt proposed this toast:
"May prosperity and unity attend the
Chinese."
At the Brazilian building the party was
welcomed by Commissioner Agulrar, who
presented President Roosevelt with a
handsome saddle and sliver-mounted crop.
Mrs. Roosevelt' was given a bouquet of
roses, such as she. had been the recipient
of In every foreign pavilion.
A great crowd lined the roadway lead
ing to the Imperial Japanese gardens,
the next place visited by the party. As
the President's carriage came up oppo
site the crowd, among which were many
Japanese, he was greeted with cries of
"banzai."
He responded In kind with the Japanese
word "nitton." Proceeding to the tea
house in one corner of the garden the
party entered and partook of refresh
ments. As the President stood drinking
his tea in one of the balconies two noted
Japanese fencers indulged in a match for
his benefit. He expressed his pleasure at
the skill of the men. Later he examined
with Interest some" suits of ancient armor
and other Implements of war shown in
a building near-by.
Commissioner-General Tegu acknowl
edged the honors during the short stay
of the party in the gardens. They then
proceeded to the West Pavilion for lunch
con. Nearly an hour was consumed in visit
ing the extensive exhibits of cereals and
farm products and machinery In the vast
building, the largest structure of its kind
in tho world. Everything seemed to in
terest the indefatigable leader of the
President's party, to judge from "his fre
quent characteristic exclamations of
pleasure and surprise.
It was but a short trip to the Philippine
reservation, and as the party drove across
the bridge over the Arrow Lake into tht
"Walled City of Manila," they were
greeted with cheers from another great
crowd, composed in part of natives from
the various villages. Great interest was
shown by the President in the peoples of
the several villages which were visited in
turn. Tho Negritos, the smallest people
in the islands, the Igorrotes, with their
war dances and singing, and the repre
sentatives of numerous tribes of Moros
each tried to outdo the others in showing
off to please the President and his party.
The several exhibit buildings on tho
reservation, filled with the products of the
Islands and "work of the natives, were
taken in in turn, and the party then at
tended the evening parade of the Phlllpr
plne scouts and constabulary. After this
ceremony, at the conclusion of which the
troops passed In review before the Chief
Executive, tho troops gave a drill
To the music of their splendid band the
scouts and members of the constabulary
went through the manual of arms In per
fect time with merely a preparatory com
mand from their officers. Then, In open
order, the little brown soldiers executed
Intricate callsthentics with their rifles,
keeping time with the horns and the tap
of the drum. A special drill with bolos
followed.
After the drill, President Roosevelt
asked to have the band play "Garry
Owen." and when this was done he
showed his appreciation by clapping his
hands.
"That is tho greatest fighting tune in
the world." he said.
At the conclusion of the drill and pa
rade Major W. J. Johnson, in command
of the Filipino troops at the World's. Fair,
raised his hands and called for "three
cheers lor the President of the United
States."
The soldiers, as well as all within the
lnclosure, joined in giving the cheers with
a Trill. The playing of "America," con
cluded the programme.
During the visit of the President to the
Philippine village visitors were excluded
from the reservation, a complete line of
pickets made up of men from the Six
teenth United States Infantry and Philip
pine police guarding every approach to
the the grounds.

big knife, saying through an Inter
preter: "I give you my prla, which has. been
my own individual weapon and with

long enough to get a general idea of
tho exhibits, applauding the constabul
ary drill and expressing his pleasure
at all ho saw. Just as the- party was
crossing the Bridge of Spain over tho
moat bjefore the walled city in leaving
the Philippines reservation, President

BANQUET A NOTABLE AFFAIR
President Declares Money Spent on
Exposition a Good Investment.
ST. LOUIS, Nov. 25. The banquet given
in honor of President Roosevelt was
served in the main dlnlng-hall of the Alps,
at which 600 guests of prominence in the
social, business and political world sat
down.
Among the guests, beside the President
and Mrs. Roosevelt and Miss Alice, were
the Duke and Duchess of Winchester;
Mayor and Mrs. Wells; Governor Do.ck
ery; Thomas H. Carter, of Montana; Governor-elects
Folk, of Missouri; Governor
Van Sant, of Minnesota; Robert McCor
mick, American Ambassador to Russia;
Governor and Mrs. Yates, of Illinois, and
others.
At the conclusion of the banquet. Pres
ident Francis introduced President Roose
velt as the "typical American who typifies
the objects of American principles."
President Roosevelt made the only
speech of the evening. He said:
I count It Indeed a privilege to have bad the
chance ot visiting this marvelous exposition.
I cannot sufficiently express my appreciation
of Its wonder and Its beauty. It is the great
est exposition of its kind we have ever seen
in recorded history. As I walked today
through and among the buildings and saw
what they were; what they signified In the
way of achievement at home; what they sig
nified in, the way of achievement among t&ese
great arid friendly nations who are represented
here, I had but one regret, and that was a
deep regret the regret that these could not be
made permanent the regret that It la impos
sible to keep these buildings .as they are as a
permanent memorial of the greatness ot this
country.
I think that the American who begrudges a
dollar that has been spent here is not so far
sighted as he should be It Is & credit to the
United States that this exposition should have
been carried to such a successful conclusion,
and, of course, it Is a credit to Missouri and to
St. Louis on behalf of all the people of the
country. For each man In the country had a
personal stake in the success of this exposition,
for Its success resected credit upon the entire
country, and therefore, on behalf of the Nation
I will have to express my deep appreciation
of -the far-elghtcd, tireless, intelligent, disin
terested work that has been done by all who
are responsible for this exposition, and more
than by all others, by you. President Francis.
The country Is under a great debt of obliga
tion to you and your associates, and I am glad
of this opportunity to express my sense of
this obligation.
It Is a great pleasure to me to come here to
see this great exposition, because of whit the
exposition was. I have always been greatly
Interested in Missouri, and during tho last
three weeks I have grown, to think of it, if
possible, even more highly than before. A
number of years ago I made a particular study
of one of the great men whom In tlpe past
Missouri has presented to the service of the
Nation old Tom Benton. I have felt that not
only I, but every American who .had the wel
fare ot the Nation at heart, xould find ery
much br which to profit la the career of Ben
ton and his fellows of the Jacksonl&n Democ
racy of that day. It Is a curious thing, how
as time " goes by, we are able to" see lh the
. lata, and In the sarties of tho put, features
ot t!io ut0t usefalaesr to the country, even
though at the tbse those rae-n or those parties
seemd aataxodstlc, and X wish to say that
any goc-A American of the present can find a
great amount from, which to learn, and by
which to profit, in the principles and the prac
tices alike at juuL.TOilg. , who followed the
lead of Henry Clay, of Kentucky, and of those
whom they regarded as 'then the chief foes of
those very "Whigs the Democrats who followed
the lead ot Andrew Jackson, of Tennessee; and
of Tom Benton, ot Missouri; and of Sam Hous
ton, ot Texas; and perhaps the chief psscn
to be learned from tho lives of all those men
Is the leescn of a broad Americanism, an
Americanism that should teach every true man
that' he. Is no true American unless the wel
fare of each ot his countrymen Is dear to him,
and that without the slightest regard as to
where that countryman lives.-.

of old construction. This Is confirmed by
statements made by Chinese that" large
numbers of worn-out cannon are In Llao

Unable to Favor Colonial Products.
LONDON. Nov. 26. In a letter to the
West Indian Committee the Chancellor
ot the Exchequer states that it will not
be possible for the Alcohol Committee to
consider any proposals for giving colonial
spirits a preference over other imported
spirits nor would it be possible to adopt
THE VALUE OP CHARCOAL
Few People Know How It Is In Pre
serving Health and Beauty.
Nearly everybody knows that charcoal Is
the safest and most efficient disinfectant
and purifier in nature, but few realize its
value when taken into tho human system
for the same cleansing purpose.
Charcoal is a remedy that-the moro you
take of It the better; It Is not a drug at
all, but simply absorbs the gases and
Impurities always present In the stomach
and intestines and carries them out of
the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking; drinking or after eating onions
and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and improves
the" complexion, it whitens the teeth and
further acts as a natural and eminently
sate cathartic
It absorbs the Injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowela; It dis
infects the mouth, and throat from the
poison of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in one form
or another, but probably the best char
coal and the most for the money Is In
Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges, they are
composed of the finest powdered Willow
charcoal, and other harmless antiseptics
in tablet form or rather in the form of
large, pleasant tasting lozenges the char
coal being mjzed with honey.
The daily use of these lozenges will"
soon tell In a--much improved condition
of the general health, -better complexion,
sweeter breath and purer blood, and $&
beauty of it Is. that no possible barm can
result from their continued use, but on
the contrary, great benefit.
A Buffalo physician in speaking of the
benefits ot charcoal, says: "I advise
Stuart's Charcoal Loaeages to all patients
suffering- from gas in stoB&acB and bowels,
and to clear the complexion and purify
the breath, mouth and throat; I also be
lieve the aver Is greatly benefited by the
dally use of them; tfa-ey cost but twenty
five cents-a. box at drugstores, and al
though in some sense, a, patent prepara
tion, yet I believe I get more and better
charcoal In Stuart's Charcot! LoaengM
than in any- of the rctiary charoi
tablets."
