San Francisco, Cal. ? -Captain A. .T.
Smiley, who is said to have served
with the Irish Brigade In the Boer
war, says that the hunting grounds
where ex-President Roosevelt plans
to spend his vacation are nothing but
a huge game preserve, and that the
hunter will havo a tame time. The
captain claims to have hunted over
this ground many times, and ho as?
serts that the Hons have been shot at
so often they have become gun-shy.
The Duke of Manchester, according
to Captain Smiley, is said to have shot
over the country which Roosevelt
will traverse without bagging any
came. Smiley says he has written to
Roosevelt suggesting that he go to a
portion of Africa where elephants
could bo met in droves.

"4. She must not be the servant of the dressmaker and milliner. They

BOSTON 01 IOWS OPTIMISM.
Money is Said to Up Cheaper and Col
lections Prompt.
Boston, Mass. ? Boston regards the
business situation with equanimity,
and is not disposed to think that the
tariff question is a hindrance to a
more rapid return to "boom" times.
"Money is cheaper than K has been
in a number of years," said Jerome
Jones, "and the crops of cotton and
breadstuffs are large. To be sure,
some whose business would be affect
ed by changes in the tariff may be
acting conservatively, but that., is
more an excuse, I think, for not en
larging their operations. Improve
ment is visible all around, but people
don't care to force the courso of
events.'"
T. B. Fitzpatrick, of the Brown
Durell Company, declared emphati
cally that general business was much
better than it was a year ago ? much
better than business men were willing
to admit. /
The looaf brokers' letters are opti
mistic. Freeman, Rollins & Co. say,
for instance:
"We believo that the country is
now through the worst stage of the
Industrial depression. The tariff agi
tation will be out of the way within
the next four or Ave months at the
most.
"Statistics show that the chances
are ten to one in favor of good aver
age crops. We are inclined to be
lieve, therefore, that by September
the revival of business In this country
Will be In full swing."
* ? ?
Fkkh Vary With the Weather.
The egg markets of the country
have fluctuated within a range of a
cent or so during the past fortnight
following closely the abrupt changes
of weather.
? ? * ( ?
Potatoes Higher.
The potato market continues to ad
vance, choice Northern. Maine stocks
readily bringing ninety cents per
bushel In bulk lots. Receipts are
rather large, the better prices having
called qut liberal shlpmenis from the
potato sections.
* * *
Eggs Still Lower.
The egg markets have continued
working downward In view of the
heavy production and large receipts
at Western markets.

This was (ho last word of Theodora

hurled at- tho en (Iki ^iasf io crowd
which swarmed about Mr. Roosevelt

and Ills pnn Kermlt. similarly nttirod,
nailed away from Robokon on tho
steamship Hamburg at 11.06 o'clock
a. in., to hunt big game in East
Africa; " Tho former President's de
parture was accompanied by one of
tho tno&t remarkable demonstrations
in tho history of tlu> United States,
and he left on the moat remarkable
trip ever undertaken by an ex-Presi
dent.
While fifteen bands played and
whistles blew and thousands shouted
?u the pier of the Hamburg- A tiler lean
Qompany the former President and
his eon stood on the bridge of tho
liner with Captain Rurmeiater. Mr.
Ttxrcr mrs ? Trt rtnr ? srtrnmr Hut inr
waved time and again, and the hats
of those on the pier were thrown
high in tho air. As the liner was
towed out to midstream and slowly
under way, gliding uiong until
the ilgu'.v on the bridge was almost
lest, t^e movement of the big hat
could be seen. The tugs that passed
and the ferryboats which went by,
crowded with turn and women on
their daily trip of toil, crowded the
decks to tee an ex-President on his
way to the jungles.
"I can't say how long I shall be
away." said the great hunter. "It
will be at least fifteen months."
There was a crowd of more than
6000 waiting in Ifoboken and held
back by the police force of that city.
The crowd cheered and the deuarttng
American waved his hat to them.
Flags of many colors and sizes
waved from ship and dock In honor
of the occasion. Bands, made music
on the decks and beneath the pier
shed. Crowds with special permits
lined the wharf. More crowds, with
out passes, were in tho Hoboken
streets roundabout. There was much
cheering. A convoy of tugs followed
the vessel down the North River.
Delegations from political clubs,
diplomats from Washington, and
groups of tho departing hunter's
friends streamed on and off the
steamship throughout the last two
hours before 11 o'clock, the sailing
hour. Colonel Roosevelt had taken
possession of his suite well ahead of
time, and his appearance on deck had
beep the signal for rounds of hand
clapping by fellow passengers and
visitors who lined the raiis.
The interval between his nppear
ancs on the pier and his waving of
farewell, as tho boat glided -out into
| the river, was a period of continuous
| ovations, varying from a strenuous
jam to quieter personal good-byes.
Ono of .the last things Mr. Roose
velt. did before the steamer left tho
dock was to send a telegram to Presi
dent Taft acknowledging the receipt
of several lino photographs and a
message of good cheer. The telegram
read :
"Parting thanks, lovo and sincer
ity."
President Taft early in the day had
sent a cordial message of good-by
and "bon voyage." Mr. Taft's good
by gift to his predecessor was a gold
pencil inscribed with the words
"Good-by and good luck."
The passage of the Hamburg from
her pier to Sandy Hook was one con
tinuous ovation. Every craft In tho
harbor saluted as the vessel ap
proached tho Narrows In the Lower
Bay, and the guns of Fort Hamilton
on the Long Island shore and Fort
Wadsworth on tho Staten Island
shore boomed forth the ex-Presi
dential Balute of thirteen suns. To
this .the Hamburg responded by dip
ping tho German ensign at her stern
three times. The soldiers of the
garrison wore drawn up In line on
the ramparts.
One of the last things that Emil L.
Boas, resident director of tho Ham
burg-American line, did before ho
bade farewell to Colonel Roosevelt,
was to instruct Captain E. Burmels
ter, the commander of the Hamburg,
to bring his vessel Into Naples Bay
April 5 instead of April 3, the sched-*
uled day.
c At the last moment Colonel Roose
velt decided that he did not desire to
go ashore at Naples, but preferred to
I go straight, to the Bteamer Admiral,
which is to take him to Mombasa.
The Hamburg, therefore, will not
go out to tho Mediterranean as fast
| as she usually does.
Governor Withdraws Resignation. J
Governor Curry, at Santa Fe, In
I response to a telegram from Wash

tuck, of the Ideal pol uhd Detec
tive Wood, of th< Cleveland bureau.
Ii la understood that. Wood had been
shadowing tho man all day. The
man and woman were walking hastily
along Ontario street In the direction
of tho UalUmore and Ohio Hailroad
btation. Captain Shattuck grasped
tho man and said :
"Where are you going In auch
baste?"
The man broke from the police
captain and lied. At the same time
the woman made a savage attack
upon Wood, who was holding her.
Shattuck ran after the man, who sur
rendered after two shots had been
fired at hjm. Ho stumbled and foil
as Shattuck llrod the soeond time, and
hofoi>> ii votiol i-'Iho IiIh pui'tiuer itad
thrown himself upon him.
At. the police station tint woman
fought savagely against being

and accepted the situation. She ap
peared to bo the master mind of tho
two, and did the talking.
"You've got Ii now. There'll be
hell to pay in Sharon when Ruhl
hear 3 of this. It's the ransom all
right."
Neither of the prisoners would
Five any name and both declined to
tell anything about themselves. Tho
woman was handed over to Matron
Louise Love for examination In a
Rearch for Incriminating evidence.
The man readily handed over all the
money lie had ? $3X.f?0. The woman
made a desperate fight against being
searched. Another woman was called
to assist the matron.
The two women threw the strug
gling one to the lloor and searched
her. Under her skirts, tied to her
body by cords, they discovered a bag.
Opened, it was found to contain
$9790. The money was put up in
separate packages, most of which
contained $r?00. In her jacket pock
et was some small change.
In a box carried by the woman was
found some clothing, new, and shown
from the sale tags to have been pur
chased In the T3alley Company's store,'
at Ontario and Prospect avenuos, only
three blocks from Central I'olico Sta/
tlon.
It Is believed that the kidnapers
kept Dillle in the old city pest house,
now abandoned. It was searched, and
the police Bay they found traces of re
cent occupancy. The building is
practically Isolated in the far south
eastern part of the city, and Is an ad
mirable place for tho purpose to
which tho kidnapers put it. The boy
said that his eaptors told him thero
was smallpox at his house, for which
reason his father wanted him to stay
away, and he also said that the wom
an was dressed like a nurse. This
she no doubt did to deceive any ono
who should notice that the old pest
houso had tenants.
Tho bull? of tlio money found on
the woman was In tho original pack
ages as Mr. Whitla received it from
tho bank.
"This is tho money all right," said
Captain Shattuck, after th<? matron
had reported her find. "It is the
money Whitla paid over to the worn*
an in the afternoon. I am satisfied
of that. There is no question, even
though the numbers on some of tho
bills had not been verlflod alroady,
as mas been done. Why, the woman
practically admits wo i.t.vo tho right
money. She Kaid when wo found It
that wo had tho money and that there
would bo hell to pay in Sharon when
Buhl hears of it."
It appears that tho capture was
reaUy brought about through infor
mation given by Willie Whitla to Mr.
Whltla's friend, Charles Sankey, of
this city, who returned with them to
Sharon. Willie told of the signs ho
could seo from the window of tho
room in which lie was kept, and a
detailed description of the man and
woman.
Telling of his arrival in Cleveland
Willie said that the man took him to j
a house at 1 1 o'clock at night. They .
went to a second-floor room, No. 2.
Immediately opposite this room was
No. 17, and the man knocked at Tmr
door and the woman appeared.
"Here's Mother Jonesy," he said. Tho I
woman then got supper, and soon
after put him to bed. The woman
was dressed as a nurse, and ho was
told he was in a hospital. Ho "was
hidden away in the sink cupboard
several times while there, but other
wise was well treated.
Tho signs Willie saw from tho win
dow and which he remembered were
tho "Thorpses Hotel" and "San
Corso," and ho also Raw a stone
church, lie whj also able to tell the
various street car line3 that passed I
tho house.
He said that the woman told him
before he left to tell his father and
mother that she was middle aged,
very fat, and pock-marked.
