A CROW0' SO LAROE
Gathers in Front of the Chy Hall That
it was Impossible for the Alilitary
and Civic Parade to Pass in
Review of the President.
President Roosevelt, accompanied
by Secretary Loeb and Surgeon General
Rixey, arrived at New Orleans
by special train from Memphis at
nine o,olcck Thursday morning. A
reception committee, headed by Mayor
Martin Bebrman, received the
president at the .^station. An enormous
crowd wait ^assembled in front
of the station when the president arrived
and received him with enthusiastic
cheers, which continued until
the carriages, bearing the president
and other members of the party as
well as the members of the reception
committee, had vanished from sight
down Canal street. Detachments of
mounted state troops for mail tue
military escort of the president. v|
At the end of nine atrenous hours '
of varied entertainment In New Orleans,
closing a pleasant trip through
the South, President Roosevelt at G:.'iu
Thursday night b >arded the lignt
L house tender Maguolia and began his
X ret urn journey to Washington.
ino newspaper representative accompanied
the President on the boat
and he will be out of touch with the
world throughout the night, by daylight
tomorrow is expected to bring
news of his successful t.ranfer to the
armored cruiser West Virginia, which
lies at anchor tIT the mouth of the
Mississippi lviver lo receive him and
carry him ou towards the Capital.
For four days the President will be
til American soil, but by wirelei-s
telegraphy it is promised he will be in
communication with the shore.
The President's stay in New Orleans
was made a testimonial of popular
esteem and of grateful recognition
for the service which he rendered the
I city in its struggle against yellow
\ fever. The dens-.ly crowded streets,
the elaborate decorations, the wild applauie
that greoted the President
along the route of the parade, the enthusiasm
with which his address to
v. the mulitude in Lafayette Square was
received and the remarkable demon I
stratiun in his honor at the luncheon,
made the day replete with cordial
welcome to the nations Chief Executive.
The President was compelled to
ab&ndone one public address before
i\ he had gotten well started on It. It
| was oomtemplated that the military
(and civic parade should pass in review
before the President at the City Hall,
but the cowd which gathered this
point was so trimendrous that neithIer
the police nor the troop.* were able
to move: it, and the President, foreseeing
a possible pinio, finally gave
up tne attempt to speak and left the
platform. The crowd jimmed Coar
les street all the wj>y from Poydras
street io Nmtii street, and it spread
over Lafa>ette Square almost from
i St. Onarle.s street to Camp street.
Probably 50,000 persons were gatherI
< (i in and around the stand from
which the President was to have de
\ 11 vertd the address. When the President
oecidi d to abandon his effort, he
shouted to the throng to go home
and be good citizens and disappered
\ into the mayor's parbrs well nigh ex
hausted. lie said that the reception
was the greatest that he had since he
had started on his trip.
Tt e demonstration at the luncheon
was scaicely le&s exuberant. When
the President entered the superbly
decorated dining hall the 025 ban1
queters rose and gave way to frantic
(oheers. Every reference of Go ernor
Blanchard, Mayor Llshrman and Presi
dent Sanders, of the Progressive
Union, to the gues* brought forth a
perffco storm of cheering, and wh^n
the Piesident rose he had great ditli
cuity in BpeaKtug. itvery tnougni ne
I uttered wbh the signal for an cxtraI
ordinary exhibition of enthusiasm,
and as bis speech dealt almost entiroly'with
local subjects, and had special
\ reference to the tight against yellow
fever, the banquet developed into un\
ceasing laudation of the President
I while he was on his feet.
An immense crow.l packed Gravier
and St. Charles streets as the dinner
ended, and the apperance cf the
President on the way to the river,
provoked thunderous applause. As
the Magnolia left the landing a Presidential
salute was lired, while the
din of hundreds of uieam whistles
mingled with the lusty cheering of
acres of people who had collected on
the wharf.
From tho moment of his arrival,
early in the forenooA,. until he said
^ ' In r? well from the deck of the Magi
una at night, the President was con
partly in the limelight. The crowdfcu
programme gave him no opportunity
for rest., but he exi/rossed keen
enjoyment of his visit. Nowhere dlo
the President see the augment evidence
of the existance of i eiiow fever,
but he saw on every hand Immense
\ gatherings of. cordial and contented
?. ?> people. ?

FARMERS FRi ND.
The Partridge Destroy s Many Noxious
Weeds and Insects.
They Hhoultl Be Protected by the
FarmerN, as They Destroy Many
'JLhlngu Injurious to Crops.
The department of Agriculture has
issued an Interesting bulletin on the
quails of the United States that tends
to correct some popular errors regarding
"Hob White," and is a strong plei
for his preservation as an alley of the
farmer. There are half a dozen varieties
of quail In the United States,
tho handsomest being those of the
Southwest and the Pacltic slope, where
they are slate blue In color and handsomely
crested. Bat the principal Interest
ii this best known of all gam?
birds Is that It is a valuable asset of
the farmer and helpful rather than
destructive to the growing crops.
A thorough study of the bird has
been mad-a hv thfi fip.nnrtmcnt, without.
finding any evidence that it is harm*
fill to crops. It eats principally noxious
weed seeds aud buj.8 injurious to
the crops. It does not trouble either
the sprouting grain, as do the crows
and hi act birds, and does not feed on
the standing crops or forage among
the stacks. Wheu it does eat grain it
is only what is gleans from tiie harvested
fields. It prefers weeds and
does not cat wheat end corn if it can
get sumach, ragweed and bay berries.
A close calculation was made by
tiie department of the number of bob
Whites In Virginia and North Carolina,
the total approximating 354,820.
It is known from a long series of experiments
that the craw of the bird
'?lds about half an ounce, of which
\c-4M0 per cent Is weed seed. At this
rate'v i September 1 to April 30 in
Virginia and N ?rth Carolina alone,
the birds eat 3,341 tons of weed seeds.
Amoog the insects on whicn the
birds hal iuially feed are the Itock
Mountain locust, in Colorado potato
tiu, the boll weevil, the cut worm,
the army worm and two sorts cf oot
ton worms. Toe chicks are even more
highly Insectivorous than the old
biuls.
The department urges all land ownrttu
i.i~\ i*ua 1 mn t Iia ??h In-*

White. It Hays that with proper manage
meet some farms of 500 to 1,000
sicrf-8 would yield more revenue from
B >b Whites than from poultry. It is
estimated that between 300,000 and
400,000 sportsmen go out from the cities
every fall to hunt the Bob White,
and this, of course, means a big revenue,
most of which goes to the farmers.
Paradoxical as it may seem, sportsmoil
exercise a powerful influence in
protecting the birds. Many big pre
serves are maintained where the quail
are used only for Ueld trials for dogs
and are either not shot at all or shot
under very close restrictions Some
clubs maintain preserves of 20,000 to
50,000 acres, and many sportsmen have
their own preserves exclusively for dog
trials. The demand for live quill for
this purpose is steadily increasing, and
there would be a good revenue If the
Bob White could be bred in captivity
on any extensive scale. ThUf has been
tried at d has proved ditlijult, but the
birds can be protected from their na
tural enemies, snakes, skunks, owls,
hawks and cat';, and they cau be fed.
Every fews ; ars. rn '.be recurrence
of unusually $.v e*i ten* with heavy
snows which c r m f? d supply,
great number* ? I Boo Wnif.es perish,
and sometimes in uie nort h rn part of
Its range the bitd becomes almost extinct.
Tills unnecessary loss of life
could be largely prevented if land own
eis and others interested would scatter
a little grain in suitable places.
This is dune In some localities, as at
Sandy Spring, Md., where H. H. Mill
er drives over the snow covered country
scattering grain for the starving
quail. The practice is worthy of gen
eral adoption. It is necessary only
while the ground is snow-bound and
especially after sleet storm.
The game laws In the several States
very greatly, and in s>me States vary
from county to county; but the department
advises all States to limit
their open season to one month.
The Department of Agriculture obtained
three pairs of B b Whiten from
Kansas, which after live month's captivity
are almost as wild as when first
caged, and show no signs of mating
Experiments in the domestication of
bob Whites are well worth trying,
however, because of the demand from
clubs and Individuals for live birds to
restock their grounds. So great has
become the demand in recent years
that it is estimated that 200,000 birds
would be required annually to till it
During the spring of 1903 the demand
far exceeded the supply, even at $5 a
ri<zm, and sometimes at twice tnat
iTgure.
The bulletin gives an interesting
table of the birds' food made from the
n.VHrai/? nf munv analoflnu It. ahnau
t hat the chief part, of the Bob Whites'
diet in animal and vegetable matter
of which the farmer is glad to be rid.
whib? the damage that can he traced
to him is absolutely negligible.
Work ot a Fici.d.
Mrs. G. W. Moore, wiie of a well
known and prosperous rnechant on
Pe&ohtree road, near Atlanta, was as
saulted by a negro Thursday morning.
The track hounds have been following
the negro all day, but at a late hour
Thursday night he bad not been captured.
The county police contlnuo the
search and a large posse and all members
of the county polio force will
take up the hunt. There is considerable
excitement in the community,
where tbo crime occurred, and it is
feared the negro will be lynched If
caught. Mr. Mooro has offered 1200
reward for the capture of the negro.
CLOSE GALL.
President Roosevelt in Danger
by the Collision of His
SHIP WITH ANOTHER
| Although Inconvenienced by the Accident
and Delay the President was
Unmoved by the Mishap, and
Ref unied his Voyage
Aboard Another
Vessel.
A dispatch from New Orleans say
at 11 o'clock Trurday evenlrg.thronw
collision ol .v Una's, the f> ult stea^
er 10 parta collided with the lighthoo>1
tender Magnolia, which was
onveylog the President, Secretary
L )eb and Dr. Rlxey to the uruher,
Wtsw Virginia. The rail and purl
how of the Magnolia were damaged
aud two or three holes made in the
hull below the water line. N > one
was butt. The magnolia immediatej
ly on being struck was beached, her
bow being high and dry. AfUra
! careful examination of the damage to
| the vessel, It was evident there was
no danger and the president and his
party went to bed.
Muj (Jra'ghiil of the United States
[ engineers was aboard the M^gnoi.a.
IIis ship, the Ivy, a sister ship of the
Magnolia, had preceeded the Magnolia
and was some distance ahead. A
boat was immediately put < IT for the
nearest telephone, about a mile and a
half away, and the order given to
head the Ivy c IT at Pilot station and
have her return for the president and
his party. The transfer was made at
3 o'clock Friday morning. The vessel
got under way Immediately and
the West Virginia was boarded on
schedule timo.
The llrst news of the accident reached
New O:leans by telephone early
Friday morning iu an apneal for help
from Capt. Rose of the United Fruit
company's steamer Esparta, which
came from Nairn, La., near where
the accident occurred. His report gave
no details. The Magnolia left New Or
leans at 0 30 Thursday night and the
Fiparta was due to arrive Friday at
Ohalmette. The weather was tine,
with comparatively little wind on the
river. Immediately upon the receipt
of the news communication was opened
with tug owners here and the pow
eriui tugs iv wnmotand H. I) Wood
left New Orleans shortly after 4 o'clock
Friday morning with orders to go at
full speed lo the scene of th accident.
Meanr.lrije, however, the president's
party had managed to get in common
icatlon with the lower part of the
river where It was known that the
lighthouse tender Ivy way lying. At
1 o'clock the operator at Phot Towu
was iui.g up by Maj. Craltrbi.l, the
government engineer, with orders that
the Ivy should ue sei t to (i() rnlle point
with all posuiblc speed. Toe Ivy lm
act d'ately got under way and covered
the 40 miles in rapid time. President
RoosovoJt, Secretary Lo b and Surge< n
Rlxey, with their baggago, were at
once transferred and the Ivy proceeded
down the river. At 8.15 the Ivy
passed Pilot Town on her way down,
signalling that the president and party
were on board and that all were well.
The Ivy reached the West Virginia
at 9 40 and the president at once
went aboard. The lighthouse tender
Ivy returned from sea after putting
President RoostVilt on board and
stopped at Pilot Town. Those aboard
reported that the West Virginia had
sailed at 10.05. They said that the
president was in excellant spirits and
unshaken by the accident. At the
lime of the accident at 11 o'clock the
president, absolutely worn out by
his strenuous experience In New
Orleans, was fast asleep. He had
lurnen in snortly arter the vessel left
New Orleans. The two ships were
near tne west shore when they came
In contact In an effort to avoid running
Into each other. The prow of the
Eipart a struck the Magnolia on the
port bow,
It was rot known to what extent
the Magnolia might hava been Injured
and there was great nasto in pushing
hi r ashore. Both vessels grounded
but the Eiparta got off under her own
steam and was found not to have suffered
any damage. Tne president
showed no excitement when Informed
of the extent of the disaster, though
he was somewhat annoyed by tho probability
of a delay becauso it was evident
that the Magnolia could not proceed
on the way. He dressed Immediately
and those of hlu noi-iu v,.
. + ? ? ? )/u>t vjr uui l ICV> i y
made arrangements for his transfer tc
the Ivy, which wan Intercepted and
brought, back to the scene of the accident.
Except for the loss of some
sleep, the president suffered nothing
by the collision. With the whole
party transferred to the Ivy, that ves
sdl was speeded down the river, meeting
with no further mishap.
The United Fruit Company, b>
which the E parta is chartered issued
the following statement Friday night;
"Tne Esparta sighted a vessel,
afterward found to he the Magnolia,
'?be Magnolia blew two whistles, slg
nifying her intention of passing tc
starboard, which was answered by the
Esparta, which latter vessel continued
on up ihe river and at the time ol
such signal was within 100 feet of the
west bink of the river. About twe
mil utscs after the Magnolia blew the
firs.i signal, she blew one whistle, slg
nifying her intention of changing hei
course and crossing to the Inside 01
the Ejparta. The p'.lot et Eip&rta,
seeing tbe danger In such action, blew
whlstlea and also the danger signal of
three whlstlea, signifying the dt nger
of suon a move on the part of the
Magnolia, as the pilot of the Eiparta
was aware of the fact that there was
not enough room between the vessel
and the bank of river for the Magnolia
to pass, as he bad takeu his ship in
a9 close as possible so as to leave plenty
of room In the middle of the river
for the Magnolia, and had the Magnolia
adhered to her original signal and
intention of passing to starboard would
have passed clear as the river was over
a half mile wide at that point. Instead
of this, the Magnolia hauled to port
and the two vessels collided. The K*
parte struck the Magnolia on the pori
side about 20 feet abaft the beats and
considerable damage was dune the
Magnolia."
