He was greeted on his arrival by Jacksonville's most distinguished citizens, and on every hand were ihouted words of welcome that left no pooni for doubt of their sincerity. The ?lty Is In gala attire, and business is practically suspended. Numerous extra trains brought their burden of excursionists from the surrounding country and citlerf, and It was estimated that not less than 50,000 persons saw tnd welcomed the president. Presideut Roosevelt has carried out bis long cherished plan of visiting the home of his mother—Roswell, Ga. One of his reasons for coming south was that he might see the old homestead where his mother spent her grllhood and which she left a happy bride. In company with Mrs.- Roosevelt he inspected the house, calling to the attention of the company many incidents connected with his mother's childhood. Before leaving the mansion he posed with Mrs. Roosevelt for a picture Which Included two old servitors of the Bullock family. Buffalo, Oct. 21.—Western New York and the lake districts Lave been in the grip of a gale which at its height reached a velocity of seventy-two miles an hour. Several lives were destroyed, and on shore and on the lakes much damage was done. The regular passages of the Cleveland and Detroit boats have been canceled. Fearful to attempt to comb hi to port through the narrow passage between the rock ribbed breakwaters,' the passen&tfr steamboat Western States, due here from Detroit, turned back atul made for tbe Canadian shore In tbe teeth of the gale.

St. Petersburg, Oct. 21.—The Slovo this morning says that M. de Martens, who has for many years occupied the chair of international law at the University of St. Petersburg, has resigned his professorship. Professor de Martens was a member of the Russian peace-commission at Portsmouth. Another division of the building industry ot Wiikesbarre was tied up today at noon, when 140 bricklayer* laid down their tools and quit the varlpus Jobs on which they were engaged. The only grievances of the strikers is that they refuse to work with non-unionists of the trades with which they come in contact. It Is a sympathy strike, pure and simple, the bricklayers going out In support ot the principles of the building trades unr Ions, which have been at enmity witty the Builders' Exchange for more than a year past on the closed shop and oth'er questions. Bridgeport, Conn., Oct. 21.—'THe chances that the police wJH recover nearly the whole of the $101,000 stolen from the Adams Express Co. In Pittsburg by Edward G. Cunllffe, who was arrested here and taken to Pittsburg, seem bright. night $9,5CH was found in a trunk belonging td 'l butler ip a prominent family at Black Rock, but the butler and the fatttll} by whom he was employed were Ignorant of the fact that the money wfta in the house. Although there Is a possibility that the remaining $10,500 has been destroyed, the police are of the opinion that another accomplice of Gunliffe may reveal the hiding place of the missing sum. In round numbers $90,000 has been found within the past 24 hours. The discovery Of the money in the Black Rock home was brought about by keeping a close waleh on George Eisenman. who was with Cunllffe when he was arrested,. According to Eisenman's story he met Cunllffe in a cheap hotel on Wednesday night. Cunllffe had a package with him and said he wanted Eisenman to take care of the package. as it was laundry. Eisenman took the bundle to his sister's house and opened It and found the big sum of money. Capt. Arnold, of the detective bureau, went to the home of Eisenman's sister and foun£ the bundle of shirts but no money. Eisenman was shadowed and was seen to give a small package to his friend the butler. Capt. Arnold went to the Black Rock house and asked ■ the butler for the package and it was turned over to Capt. Arnold Intact, The butler had not been told whtil was In the package. Captain Arnold would not reveal the name of thC Butler or the family. Grand Duke Vladimir, the emperor's eldest uncle and heretofore his stancliest supporter, has resigned as commander of the military-district of St. Petersburg. His resignation has been accepted, and Lieutenant General Gripeuberg will succeed him. Grand Duke Vladimir gives "ill health" as the reason for his resignation. Every one knows be is Infuriated because Grand Duke Cyril, his eldest eon, was recently reduced from his military rauk by the emperor, who had forbidden Cyril to marry his cousin, Princess Victoria Meleta of Hesse, a divorced woman. The strike affects the masons as well as the bricklayers, the two trades being put at a standstill for the same reason. The strike has no effect on this city. k The Inauguration of the strike was peaceful, the men simply laying down their tools and the employers offering not the slightest hindrance. On Monday the striking bricklayers will return to work for any contractor where the closed shop principle Is strictly enforced, but they will absolutely refuue to engage in any work where non-union labor Is employed. LIEUTENANT U. S. GRANT 3D. Overwhelmed by the terrible blow, the schooner Mautenee, bound from Buffalo to Duluth, sank off Ripley, twenty miles west of Dunkirk. Captain Morgan and his wife, Mrs. Bailey, the cook, and her daughter and the mate and crew were saved. Lieutenant Grant, who is one of the military attaches at the White House, Is a son of Brigadier General Frederick Dent Grant and a grandson of General U. S. Grant. He Is a graduate of West Point and as a student stood very high In his class. He Is called U. S. Grant 3d because his uucle, U. S. Grant 2d, is 8till Jiving. Grand Duke Vladimir, as wealthy as haughty, has been for years the bulwark of autocracy and bureaucracy. Plainly he and his brothers are in the mood to let the czar follow his beut wherever it leads. Grand Duke Alexis was at Cyril's wedding. Gripenberg Went Home. FINANCIAL, AND COMMERCIAL. The President's Address. It is said that Ashing nets valued at $5,000 were blown off the reels In Dunkirk and carried off Into the lake. Swept overboard from the barge Unudilla.

Ga., where he spoke to a crowd of 50,000. He said In part: General Gripenberg commanded the second Manchuriau army. The Japanese defeated him severely at Sarnlepas on Jan. 29 last. Kuropatkin, then commander in chief, charged Gripenberg with having disobeyed orders. Gripenberg retorted that Kuroiuitkln, who commanded the center, should have re-enforced his (Gripenberg'*) right wing, which the main Japanese force attacked. Gripenberg threw up his command and went home. Soon afterward Liuevlteh superseded Kuropatkin.In my judgment, all. corporations doing an Interstate business—and this means the great majyity of the largest corporations—should Be held accountable to the Federal government because their accountability should be coextensive with their Held of action. But most certainly we should not strive to prevent or limit corporate activity. We should strive to secure such effective supervision over It, such power of regulation over It, as to enable us to guarantee that Its activity will be exercised only In ways beneficial to the public. The unwisdom of any well meaning but misguided effort to check corporate activity has been shown In striking fashion In rpcent years by our experience In the Philippines and In Porto Rico. Our national legislators very properly determined that the Islands should not be exploited by adventurers without regard to the Interests of the people of the islands themselves, but unfortunately, in their seal to prevent the Islands from being Improperly Exploited, they took measures of such severity as to Seriously, and In Some respects Vitally, hamper and retard the development of the islands.

Y. Tills was definitely settled this week by the six presiding elders of the conference, who held a meeting in Uingliamton, N. Y. At this meeting, a unanimous invitation was received from the Cooperstown church for the conference to be held in thai town, and the same was accepted. The business sessions of the conference will be held in the Cooperstown M. E. church, while lbs town hall has been offered as a suitable place to bold the anniversary meetings of the conference, which are attended by larger congregations than the business sessions. it has also been definitely decided that the pastors and' other delegates who attend the conference provide their own entertainment. This is a new plan that has been adopted as an experiment, on account of the difficulty that has been found In securing sufficient free entertainment for all of the visitors who attend conference. Cooperstown Is admirably adapted for conference purposes. As hi well known, It is loctrted on Otsego lake, the headwaters of the Susquehanna river, and as such It is a very attractive summer resort. There are a large number of hotels and boarding houses. All of the members of the conference can be accommodated at two of the h6tels, which will be openad in time for the conference, and .special low rates will be offered conference attendants. The exact time for the meeting of the conference has not been determined. The dates for all the conferences will be fixed by the bishops, at a meeting to be held In Washington during the early part of November, Scene. 25% 153 129% 86 % 54% 145 Reports from Niagara county arc that the fruit growers have lost heavily, the gale having destroyed theiryoung orchards. , Emily Ivee, colored, who shot to death her friend, Mrs".'

From a casual glance at her there appeared to be no change In her demeanor—at least no outward signs were visible of the effect the crisis was having upon her. As the decision of the 12 men was announced not a muscle of her features moved. The same stolid look that she bore throughout the trial was upon her features when the climax was reached. When the Judge announced that he would sentence her on Wednesday she was led from the room and returned to the county Jail. Tile steamboat Joseph H.

There is a general impression that at the outset a majority of the jurors were for a first degree verdict. Yesterday morning, the jury announced that it was unable to arrive at a verdict, but Judge Edwards refused to discharge It, stating that under the law a verdict must be rendered In a murder case, except for the tjeath or serious illness of any of the jurors.

But when alt that can be has thus been done there will yet remain much which the law cannot touch and which must be reached by the force of public opinion. There are men who do not divide actions merely Into those that are honest and those that are not, but create a third subdivision—that of law honesty; of that kind of honesty which consists In keeping clear of the penitentiary. It is hard to reach astute men of this type save by making them feel the weight of an honest public Indignation. Agent—We insure you against loss on your life Insurance policies.—Baltimore American.

The crime committed by Emily Lee was the result of a jealous rage. She had alienated the affections of Mrs. Weldon's husband,, and when the latter decided to return to his wife she grew madly Jealous and shat her to death on the public street, where Mrs. Weldon was walking and pushing a baby carriage containing her child.

We cannot afford In thlB country to draw the distinction as between rich man and poor man. The distinction upon which we must insist is the vital, deep lying, unchangeable distinction between the honest man and the dishonest man, between the man who acts decently and fairly by his neighbor and with a quick sense of his obligations and the man who acknowledges no internal Jaw save that of his own will and appetite.
