HONOR OF BIRTHDAY
Natal Day of George Washington Was
Fittingly Observed
r6000 SPEECH ?BY THE PRESIDENT
Representatives of. Three-World Pow?
ere Participate in the Exercises at
the University of Pennsylvania, and
President Roosevelt, the German
Emperor and the British Ambassa
dor Were Among Those Honored
With the Doctorate of Laws.
Philadelphia, Special-Commeration
gf Washington's birthday by
the University of Pennsylvania was
made notable by the fact that represen
tatives of three world powers partici
pated in the exercises, as follows: The
United States, represented by the
Chief Executive of tb? nation, Presi
dent Roosevelt; Germany, represented
by Baron Von Speek Sternberg, am
bassador to this country, who icted as
the personal representative' Of 3mper
or William, and Sir. Henry Mortimer.
Durand, the British ambassador. The
occasion was marked by one qf the
r.cst enthusiastic demonstrations ever
witnessed in the Academy of Music,
where the exercises were held. Presi
dent Roosevelt was the orator of the
day, his theme being "Some Maxims
of Washington."
The degree of doctor of laws was
conferred upon the President, the Ger
man Emperor, the British ambassador,
Rear Admiral Charles E. Clark, United
States navy; United States Senator
Philander C. Knox, and David T. Wat
son; a distinguished lawyer of Pitts
burg. Thomas Bailey Aldrich, the
poet and author, received the degree
of letters, and upon Robert Simpson
Woodward, president of the Carnegie
Institute, was conferred the degree of
doctor of science. Baron Von Speck
Sternberg received the degree for Em
peror. William.
When the president appeared on the
stage the band played "Hail to the
Chief," and the entire assemblage
arose and cheered for nearly five min
ute?. It was a splendid ovation and
the" President smiled his appreciation,
bowing hia acknowledgement at its
conclusion.
As each candidate was presented by
Dr. S. Weir Mitchell for the degree, he
was greeted by the students with lusty
"hoorays" and eellege cries. During
his address, the President was repeat
edly cheered, and his reference to the
navy, which he addressed directly to
Admiral Clark, who sat on his left,
aroused great enthusiasm. The Pres
ident spoke in part as follows:
THE PRESIDENT'S SPEECH.
As a nation we have had our full
share o? great men, but the two men
of pre-eminent greatness who, as the
centuries go on, will surely loom above
all others, are Washington and Lin
coln; and it is particularly fitting that
their birthdays should be celebrated
every year and the meaning of their
lives brought home close to us.
No other city in the country is so
closely identified with Washington's
.career as Philadelphia. He served here
In 1775 in the Continental Congress.
He was here as commander of the army
lt the time of the battle of Brandy
wine and Germantown; and it was near
here that with that army he faced the
desolate winter at Valley Forge, the
hinter which marked the turning point
of the Revolutionary war. Here he
came again as president of the con
vention which framed the constitution
and then as President of the United
States, and finally as lieutenant general
of the army, after he had retired from
the presidency
One hundred and eight years ago
just before he left the presidency, he
issued his farewell address, and in it
he laid down certain principles, which
he believed- should guide the citizens
of this republic for all time to come,
his own words being, "which appear
to me aL' -Important to the permanency
of your felicity as a people."
Washington, though in some ways an
even greater man than Lincoln, d^gotJ
have Lincoln's wonderful jffi 0j ex_ I j
pression-gffTwhich makes cer
M&gg&eches of the rail-splitter from
fillnois read like the inspired utter
ances of the great Hebrew seers and
prophets. But he had all of Lincoln's
sound common sense, far-sightedness,
and devotion to a lofty ideal. Like
Lincoln, he sought after them by thor
oughly practical methods. These two
greatest Americans can fairly be called
the best among the great men of the
world, and greatest among the good
men of the world. Each showed in
actual practice his capacity to secure
under our system the priceless union
af individual liberty with governmental
strength. Each was as free from the
pices of the tyrant as from the vices
3f the demagogue. To each the empty
futility of the mere doctrinaire was as
nilen as the baseness of the merely
self-seeking politician. Each was in
capable alike of the wickedness which
seeks by force of arms to wrong others
md of the no less criminal weakness
which fails to provide effectively
igainst being wronged "by others.
Among Washington's maxims which
ie bequeathed to his countrymen were
Jie two following: "Observe good faith
md justice toward ?ll nations," and
'To be prepared for war is the most
sffective means to promote peace."
These two principles taken together
ihould form the basis Of our whole for
eign policy. Neither is sufficient taken
>y itself. It is not merely an idle
Iream, but a most mischievous dream,
o believe that mere refraining from
wrongdoing will insure us against being
vronged. Yet, on the other hand, a
?ation prepared for war is a menace to
nankind unless the national purpose
s to treat other nations with good
aith and justice.

to say tba-t if tho liver were always

Thcdford's Black-Draught is so
successful in curing such sickness
because it is without a rival as a

medicine is net a strong and

harm.
The healthful action on the liver
cures biliousness; It has an in

Because thc liver and kidneys do
not work regularly, the poisonous
acids along with "the waste from

and virulent contagion results.
Timely treatment with Thed

Verdict Was Reached in About Two
Hours.
Spartan burg, Special.-The trial of
Polk Odom for the murder of H. H.

the defendant, and occupied almost the
entire day of court. The jury in the
case was empaneled Friday after

this morning the case was promptly
begun.
The state submitted four witnesses
and the defense five. An important
point brought Out iii the state's testi

shot that inflicted the death wound of
H. Et. Henibfee came from a cut shell.
A portion of the shell was taken out
of the wound, in the thigh of-the dead
man, along with the bullets.
The defendant, a young man of about
SO years, was a calm, expressionless,
but interested spectator of all the pro
ceedings today. He is of medium build,
with a sparse moustache, black hair
and eyes, and dressed as the ordinary
countryman of the northwesternn sec
tion of the country. By his side during
the day sat his father, a man of solid,
substantial appearance, with long,
wavy black whiskers and coal-black
hair and eyes. Directly behind the
prisoner sat his aged mother, neatly
but unpretentiously dressed, and be

wife of Thomas Hembree, for whom
the deceased and his sons were hunt
ing when the tragedy occurred.

"DETAILS OF THE MINE HORROR
Thirty-Nine Bodies Have Been Taken
From the Virginia Mine and No
Hope is Held Out that Arly 8f ih?
119 Men Remaining Are Alive.
Birmingham, Ala., Special.-AB a re
luit of the most horrible mine disaster
In the history of Alabama, 39 blacken
3d, bruised and twisted human bodies
aave been recovered from the Virginia
mines at a late hour and laid out for
.dentification by heart-broken mothers,
wives, sisters, and sweethearts. It is
now statod positively that 160 men
were in the mine at the time of the
lust" explosion and not the slightest
tiope is held out to sorrowing loved
?mes th?t ? toan of taem will live to
tell of the horrible disaster,
With the first ominous rumble of the
toming catastrophe, by common im
pulse, eVery One in the village rushed
to the mouth of the main slope, fear
struggling against hope for the safety
Df loved ones. The sc?nes ?t th? mine?
this afternoon were the in?st gruesomt
and harrowing that have ever been
witnessed in the mining section of Ala
bama. Corpses were frightfully man
gled and disfigured and identification
ls almost Impossible. Many of the
bodies are so bruised, twisted and dis
.olored that negroes cannot be told
from white men.
All day long at the mouth of the
mine were waiting and moaning women
and children whose relatives were
among tho unfortunates. One hundred
families and 300 ohildren are left des
titute and without means of support by
the calamity. As the bodies of the vic
tims, which in many cases have been
gathered together a piece it ? time, are
brought to the surface they are placed
In rows on a rough Improvised plat
form. Late Tuesday ambulances' began
the removal of those so far recovered
to Bessemer.
Since the Hst of dead will probably
go to 160, the local undertakers have
wira? to adjoining cities for coffins,
as it was found there were not enough
suitable coffins in the district to bury
the victims. Out of the 50 bodies re
covered one was found about 4 o'clock
this afternoon, which was barely alive.
The body was carefully taken from the
mine and heroic methods resorted to
to bring the man to consciousness. He
is still alive, but scant hope is held out
for his recovery.
President Flynn, of the Alabama
United Mine Workers, said to the As
sociated Press: "I shall be surprised if
a single person escapes alive from that
mine. Ventilation Is very difficult and
if the men were not killed by the ex
plosion they have certainly been suffo
cated, by the gases. The bodies so far
reached were in the main slope and it
will be several dayB before we can get
to the rooms which branch off from the
main slope."
President Flynn worked all Tues
day night with a pick ?hd shovel at the
mino and other mine officials were
among the leaders in the rescue work.
Conspicuous among these was W. R.
Farley, member of the national execu
tive board of the United Mine Workers
from Alaska.

Colombian "Rain Tree."
A novelty In the vegetable kingdom
has recently beea reported as native
to the United States of Colombia. In
the woods adjacent to' the city '
Moyobamba grows a tree which the
natives call "iain tree." It la about
fifty feet high when it reaches ma
turity and about three feet In diameter
at its base, and has the property elf
absorbing an immense quantity of hu
midity from the atmosphere. Thia
is concentrates and subsequently
pours forth from Its leaven and
branches in a shower and in such
abundance that In many cases the
ground '.n its neighborhood is convert
ed into veritable bog. It possesses
this curious property In the greatest
degree in the summer, when the riv
ers are at the lowest point and water
is scarce. It has been suggested that
this tree be planted in the more arid
parts of Peru for the benefit of the
farmers.

N. H., where he commenced a pastor
