The men who are to do the work of the new epoch must be trained so as to have a sturdy self-respect, a power of insistence on their own rights, and with it a proud and generous recognition of their duties, a sense of honorable obligation to their fellows, which will bind them, as by bands of steel to refrain In their daily work, at hom or in their business from doing aught to any man which can not be blazoned under the noonday sun.

After the close of the president's speech the military parade reached the grand stand and passed In review before the president and his party. After reviewing the parade the president and his flirty were escorted to the executive mansion on Front street by the Governor's Troop. There the president and 40 other guests, Including the State officials, judges of the Supreme court and United States Senators Penrose and Knox, were entertained at luncheon by the governor. The president left Harrlsburg for York at 3 o'clock. Tills threat contained In an auonymous letter signed with a cross caused Mrs. G. Lebarbera of 837 Second avenue to go into violent convulsions when an expressman delivered a package at the grocery store of her husband at that addreRs. TOE on It is a very real pleasure for me to attend these ceremonies at the capital of your great State. In every great crisis of our government the attitude of Pennsylvania has been of crucial Importance, as the affectionate nickname of "Keystone State" signifies. Pennsylvania has always looked warily before she leaped, and It was well that she should do so. But having finally made up her mind, in each great crisis of our national history, her weight has been cast unhesitatingly upon the right side, and has been found irresistible. This was true alike at the time of the Declaration of Independence, at the time of the adoption of the Constitution, and during the terrible years when the issue was the preservation of the Union. During the last few years the national government has taken very long strides In the direction of exercla ing and securing this adequate control over the great corporations, and it was under the leadership of ono of the most honorable public men in our country, one of Pennsylvania's most eminent sons—the present senator and then attorney general, Knox —that the new departure was begun. Events have moved fast during the last five years, and it is curious to look back at the extreme bitterness which not merely the spokesmen and representatives of organized wealth, but many most excellent conservative people then felt as to the action of Mr. Knox and of the administration. It was explained that the president had reached bis Intention not to send Governor Magoon to Cuba because of advices then In hand from Secretary Taft Intimating that the arrangements made for Governor VVintbrop assuming the duties of provisional governor had gone too far to be changed conveniently. A second dispatch from the secretary, however, put the subject In a different light and indicated that the secretary was willing that the governor should remain In Port!* Hlco. This operation Is now well under way In the neighborhood of Havana, 700 of Guerra's men, with their horses, having been entrained for l'lnar del Rio, while oue brigade marched to Guanajay without a sign of disorder. As a concession to the men General Funston and Major La fid permitted them to take their urms to Plnar del Rio, where most of the men Joined the army. The rifles, however, were first Counted by officers of marines under the direction of Major Ladd, and the men will be required to surrender them before leaving the tralh at Plnar del Itlo. Congratulated People of State. "Don't open that puckagc here!" she screamed. "It may lie part of my baby!" The woman's hysterical eondltlou was due to the fact that her'child Willie, live year* old, had been kidnaped on Friday last, and, although diligent search had been made for him and the kidnapers, no trace of them could be found.

There will also be music during the evening by brass bands. REVIEWED WORK OF LEGISLATURE. Antidotes to Aiuireliy. Government Buys Mutes. Aak $5,000 For Boy, •Many of the greatest financiers of this country were certain that Mr. Knox's Northern Securities suit. If won, would plunge us Into the worst panic we had ever seen. They denounced as Incitement to anarchy, an an apology for socialism, the advocacy of polities that either have now become law or are in fair way of becoming law; and yet these same policies, so far from representing either anarchy or socialism, were in reality the antidotes to anarchy, the antidotes to socialism. To exercise a constantly increasing and constantly more efficient supervision and control over the great common carriers of the country prevents all necessity for seriously considering such a project as the government ownership of railroads—a policy which would be evil In Its results from every standpoint. East St. Louis, III., Oct. 4,—Two carloads of mules were inspected by n corps of government Inspectors and shipped to Newport News, Vn., markinn the first oliicinl move in flllinf? the rush order placed by the government for 1,000 mules and horses to be used by the United States soldiers in Cuba.

The President's train arrived at 11 o'clock this morning and the President and Senators Knox and Penroso were received at the Union station by Governor Pennypacker, Mayor Gross and members of the dedication commission. In carriage to escort the President to the capitol were Auditor General Snyder, State Treasurer Berry, Speaker of the House Walton, State Senators Fox and Sproul, Deputy Secretary of the Commonwealth Beitler and Secretries Lynch and Jones, of the coramitwioiu The arrival of the train attracted" ft intJUltude. When the President appeared he was greeted with remarkable fervor, the demonstration being kept up all along the line. Strong nationalist though I am, and firm though my belief is that there must be a wide extension of the power of the national government to deal with questions of this kind, I freely admit that as regards many matters, of first rate importance we must rely purely upon the States for the better- present conditions. The several states must do their duty or our citizenship can never be put on a proper plane. Therefore X must heartily congratulate the people of the State of Pennsylvania on what its legislature. upon what its government, has accomplished during this present year. It is a remarkable record of achievement. HUGHES FORMALLY NOTIFIED DEATH SENTENCE. New York Republican Candidate For Governor Accepts Nomination. According to the testimony of an American named Harvey, formerly a Roosevelt rough rider, who has been with the Insurgents, the amount of actual lighting during this revolution was really sniull. Ilarvey says that most of the lighting he had seen was between gamecocks. This Is borne out by the fact that easily 10 per cent of Gnerra's men carry lighting cocks tied to their saddles. New York, Oct. 4.—With the declaration that the Issue lu the forthcoming campaign In this state Is not to l»e one of Republican principles or of Democratic principles C}r a partisan issue at nil, but the vita If issue of decent government, Charted E.

The government ought not to conduct the business of the country; but it ought to regulate it so that it shall be conducted in the interest of the public.

The commission then, without knowing whose plans they were, settled upon a certain set of plans, which it adopted, and it was afterwards discovered that they were submitted by Joseph M. Huston, of Philadelphia. In a remarkable letter In which he advocated setting forth in early and clear fashion the powers of the national government, he laid down the proposition that It should be made clear that there were neither vacancies nor interferences between the limits of state ana national jurisdiction, and that both jurisdictions together composed only one uniform and comprehensive system of government and laws; that 1s, Whenever the State can not act, because the need to be metals not one of merely a single locality, then the national government, representing all the people, should have complete power to act.
