Wilkesbarre, Pa., Special.-From every section of the anthracite region miners and temeprance workers came here, thousands arriving on the early trains, and before daylight crowds of people with lunch boxes and umbrel las had camped out in advantageous spclts to await the arrival of Presider.t Roosevelt. The Catholic Total Abstinence Union delegates transacted but little business this morning, and at noon the ten thousand uniformed cadets and soldiers of the two regiments of the order pa raded. This parade ended in time for the regiments to line the streets and keep back the great crowds. Before the President's train came to a full stop a great shout went from the enor mous crowd assembled at the station, which increased into a roar as the President stepped briskly from the train. The President was met by the local reception committee, which in eluded Father Curran and John Mitch ell. The streets along the route froma the station to the Susquehanna river, where the speakers' stand was erected, were lined with a solid mass of people. Many of them had been standing at favorite places for hours. The Presi dent's reception as he was rapidly driv en over the route was a tremendous one. The President appeared to be ex tremely pleased at thet demonstration and kept bowing to the right and le:-.t. The crowd at the speakers' stand was so noisy that it took several minutes to quift the enthusiasm and permit tae exercise to begin. Those who spoke were President Roosevelt, Cardinal Gibbons. President Mitchell, Mayor' Kirkdall and Father Curran. John Mitchell, in introducing the President, made a long defence of trade unionism. The President then spoke as follows: PREISIDENT'S ADDRESS. I am particularly glad to speak to I this audience of miners and their wives and children .and especially to speak under the auspices of this great tern perance society. In our country the happiness of al lthe rest of our people depends most of all upon the welfare o fthe wage-worker and the welfare of the farmer. If we can secure the wel fare of these two classes we can be reasonably certain that the cmmunity as a whole will prosper. And- we mast never forget that the chief factor in securing the welfare alike of wage worker and of farmer. as of everybody else, must be the man himself. The only effective way to help aay body is to help him help himself. There are exceptional times when any one of us neds outside help, and then it should be given freely: but normally each one of us must depend upon his own exertions for his own -uccess. Something can be done by wise legisla tion and by wise and honest adminis tration of the laws; that is, something can be done by our action taken in our collective capacity through the State and nation. INDIVIDUAL 'MAN PARAM10UNT. Something more can be done by com bination and organization among our selves in our private capacities as citi zens. so long as this combination or organization is managed with wisdom and integrity. ,vith instance upon the rights of those benefited and yet with just regard for the rights of others. But in the last analysis the factor most influential in determining any man's success must ever be the sum of that man's own qualities, of h'is knowledge, foresight, thrift and r age. Whatever tends to increase his sef-respect, whatever tends to help him overcome the temptations with which all of us are surrounded. is of benefit, not only to him, but to the whole com munity. No one society can do more to help the wage-worker than such a temper anee society as that which I am now addressing. It is of incalculable con sequence to the man himself that he should be sober and temperate. and it Is of even more consequence to his wife and his children: for it is a hard and cruel fact that in this life of ours the sins of the man are often visited most heavily upon those whose welfare should be his one special care. THE~ DRUNKARD'S FAMILY. For the drunkard, for the man who loses his job because he cannot control or will not control his desire for liquor and for vicious pleasure. we have a feeling of anger and contempt mixed with our pity: but for his unfortunate wife and little ones we feel only pity, and that of the deepest and tenderst kind. -Everything possible should be done to encourage the growth of that spirit of self-respect, self-restraint, self-re liance, which, if it only grows enough, is certain to make all those in whom it shows itself move steadily upward to ward the highest standard of American citizenship. It is a proud and respon sible privilege to be citizens of this great self-govrerning nation: and each of us needs to keep steadily before his eyes the fact that he is wholly unfit to take part in the work of governing others unless he can first govern him self. He must stand up manfully for his own rights; he must respect the rights of others: he must obey the law, anl he must try to live up to those rules of righteousness which are above and behind all laws. This applies just as much to the man of great wealth as to the man of small means: to the capitalist as to the wage worker. And as one practical point. let me urge that in th eevent of any difficulty, especially if it is what isf known as a labor trouble, both sides should show themselves willing to meet, willing to consult. and anxious each to treat the other reasonably and i fairly, each to look at the other's side of th'e case and to do the other justice. If only this course could be generally folloed, the chance of industrial dis aster woulrd be minimized, To Convey Special Government. Washington.

The South Carolina section of the climate and crop service of the De partment of Agriculture issues the following official bulletin of. weather and crop conditions for the past week: The mean temperature for the week ending S a. n. August 7th was slight Iv below normal. but the week end ai with excessive heat. The extremes were a maximum of 9S degrces at Co lumibia on the 6th. and a minimum of 60 degrrees at Greenville on the 2nd and at King-stree on the 3rd. The Irevailig clear nights were favor able for rapid radiation causig con siderable complaint of the nights hav ini been too cool for vegetation. al th'ough not unusually low. The days were clear and hot. Winds were cen erally light. There were no amagues reported from storms. hail -r .oods. The greater portion of the State was without rain. A beneticial rain on the 4th covered the ter itury froin Oconee county to Cherokee and a portion of York but did not extend ea tward beyond the Piedmont zee tion. The extreme southern portion had rain on the 6th. The drought is severe a'id injurious to crops over the western and central couielts and over practically all the Savannah riv er valley couties, but the need of rain is felt over practically the en tire State. The weather was favorable for cul tivation and laying by crops which work is practieally tinished With the exception of good reports from the coast counties where cot ton is improvin'g, there seems to have been a general deterioration in the condition of cotton over the whole State due to the plants turning yel young bolls, and to rusts which is now widely prevalent. Reports of damage by insects continue but are opeening generally over the southern counties and in places. picking will be active next week. The first. bale was ginned on the first of Auxgust. The 12 year average of first bales is Akugust 6th; the earliest was July 2Sth 1196. the latest Au gust 20th, 1895. The dry weather is injurious to late corn, especially that portion now in the tasselling stage. Tobacco cur inz is nearly fiiished. with the late crop better than the early one.

Chandler, Greenville County, Spe cial.-At Holliday's bridge, four miles from Belton, six miles from Honea Path. and 12 miles from Wil liamston, there is being constructed a power plant, the importance and size of whie'L are unknown to the gen eral public. The builders are men who have no reason to advertise for subscribers to capital stock, and this in a measure accounts for the far that practically nothinle has b)een said about the dIevelopmlent in the news papers. A dam has just been comn pleted. 32 feet in heizht. S feet in thickness at the top with the proper thickness at the base for such a struc ture. It is near 600 feet long, and will turn the entire current of Saluda river into the canal that is beingz dug. This canal, nearly -haJf a mile in length, looks almost like a huge river bed itself. The power that will be developed by means of this cur ren of water will be tremedous bit for the present only a portion of it wil be tutilized.

WITH AWFUL CRASH Department Store Collapsed Causing ileavy Loss of Life ZO TO 30 KILLED; MANY DOOMED Large Albany Establishment's Entire Middle Section Crashes Downward and Inward, Casting Scores of Its Employes on ts Four Floors Into the Midst of the Flying Wreckage of Brick and Stone and Timber. Albany, ,N. Y.. Special.-The middle section of the big department store of the John G. Myers Company, on North Pearl street, collapsed early Tuesday >arrying down with it over one hundred persons. Caught in a chaos of brick, plaster imd wood beams, between 20 and 30 men. women and children met death. Twelve hours' frantie work on the part 3f the rescuers disentangled fifty peo ple, six of them (lead and many of the rest badly injured. Three bodies were in sight at a late hour, but many hours work will be required to get them out. Anfthing like a complete list of the killed. and injured will be unobtainable until the workers have made their way to the very bottom of the mass of wreckage. With few exceptions. those mught in the ruin were employes, a large majority of them girls. The catastrophe occurred shortly af ter the opening hour, when barely a core of shoppers were in the store A clock found in the derbis had stop ped at 12 minutes before 9, showing when the crash came. The best a!count of the event that probably caused the ruin is given by the head of the croekery. glass and lrug department, which occupies the basement. "The workmen were sawing at a wooden floor b'*am," said he, "which runs underneath one of the central pil lars in the middle of the store. Exra ,avation for the cellar was going on bout the base of the 'pillar, and 1 believe that jarring of the beam be eath it displaced the foundation of the pillar. The first thing I know two f the counters near the place where he men were working began to sag. everal pieces of glassware slid off on o the floor with a crash. "I yelled to my clerks to run for .he front of the store. The words were it out of my mouth when there came i creaking an-I everything around us >egan to fall. The wreck came slowly, lowever, and I think every one in my lepartment escaped, as well as the workmen." The pillar which drew away support d the ends of two giant girders, and when it fell, the main support of the entral part of the building was gone. X.ith a noise that could be heard blocks way and which shook the adjoining )uildings, nearly half the great struc ure, from cellar to roof, and extending rom one side wall to the other, came rinding down. into this cavern fell cores of employes who were working n the four floors above and lacked the warning which ehabled those in the asement to escape. Some, however. were apprized of the danger by falling plaster and saved themselves by rush .ng to the front of the store or to the are escape in the rear. Clouds of dust which shot out of the 'ront entrance caused those outside to elieve that the store was afire, and L fire alarm w~as; immediately turned n. When the fire department arrived :hey had plenty to do in rescuing those who 'were pinned under the top wreck ge. They were joined by scores of rolunteer rescuers. and within an hour L or 20 persons wer'e carried out, none )f them fatally i:1jured. The volunteer rescuers and the fire nen continued the work until exhaust d. when their places were taken by a vtrecking force numbering 300 men rom the New York Central and Dein vare & Hudson Railroads. These delved n the ruins all night, but the work of 'escue progressed slowly. When dark ess came it was estimlatedl that nearly 0 persons still remained in the ruins Ld that not. more than half of these ~ould survice the w.eight pressing upon hem. Fortunately the wreckage did not :ake fire. Some one hundred persons tre still unaccounted for, but 50 of :hese are cash boys, of which the firm 2as no record. and the loss of the y roll makes it difficult to get any :hing like a complete list of many thers. In all, the company has 400 em ioyes. but 50 of these are away on 'aetions. LOSS $200,000O TO S300.000. The building which collapsed stands n the heart of the shopping district at sos. 29 and 41 North Pearl street. It s owned partly by the company and artly by the estate of the late Da ,id Orr. The loss to the company is ~stimated at between $200,,000 and 3z00,000. St. Thomas Church Consumed. Newv York, Special.-St. Thomas picopal church, at Fifth avenue and ad Fifty-third street, one of the mos: ichly furnished religious edifices in merica, was wrecked by fire Tuesday.
