I W.'Iboeli^rro Pa Snpnial.?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 umbrell las had camped out in advantageous spcts to await the arrival of President 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 paraded. 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 enormous crowd assembled at the station, which increased into a roar as the 1 President stepped briskly from the 1 train. The President was met by the local reception committee, which in: eluded Father Curran and John Mitch: ell. The streets along the route from 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 President's reception as he was rapidly driven over the route was a tremendous . one. The President appeared to be ex- I fromcW nl^aspri At the demonstration I ' and kept bowing to the right and left. The crowd at the speakers' stand was ! so noisy that it took several minutes to J quiet the enthusiasm and permit the ! exercise to begin. Those who spoke i 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: PRESIDENT'S ADDRESS. 1 I am particularly glad to speak to this audience of miners and their wives l and children .and especially to speak under the auspices of this great tem. 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 community as a whole will prosper. And we must never forget that the chief factor in ' securing the welfare alike of wageworker and of farmer, as of everybody else, must be the man himself. The only effective way to help anybody is to help him help himself. There are exceptional times when any one of us needs outside help, and then it should be given freely; but normally J each one of us must depend upon his ' own exertions for his own success. Something can be done by wise legislation and by wise and ljpnest administration of the laws; that is, something can be done by our action taken in our collective capacity through the State 1 and nation. I INDIVIDUAL MAN PARAMOUNT. I I Something more can be done by combination and organization among ourselves in our private capacities as citizens. so long as this combination or t organization is managed with wisdom and integrity, aith instance upon the rights of those benefited and yet with | just regard for the rights of others. ' But in the last analysis the factor 1 most influential in determining any i man's success mu6t ever be the sum of that man's own qualities, of his ; knowledge, foresight, thrift and courage. Whatever tends to increase his self-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 temperance society as that which I am now ! addressing. It is of incalculable coni sequence to the man himself that he ; I 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-reI liance, which, if it only grows enough. is certain to make all those in whom it | shows itself move steadily upward toward the highest standard of American citizenship. It is a proud and respon sible privilege to be citizens of this I great self-governing nation; and each of us needs to keep steadily before his 1 eyes the fact that he is wholly unfit to take part in the work of governing others unless he can first govern himself. He must stand up manfully for his own rights; he must respect the rights or others: he must obey the law, I nn/1 La *a 1 I ?>a ? a *a ?Laaa a:m lie: rnusi i. ? iu ii>c up tu uiusc rules of righteousness which are above and behind all laws. This applies Just as much to the man cf great wealth as to the man of small j means; to the capitalist as to the wageworker. And as one practical point, j let me urge that in th eevent of any difficulty, especially if it is what is 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 fairly, each to look at the other's side of the case and to do the other justice. If only this course could be generally followed, the chance of industrial disaster would be minimized. To Convey Special Government. Washington.

Albany, ,N. Y.. Special.?The middle section of the big department store of | the John G. Myers Company, on North I Pearl street, collapsed early Tuesday carrying down with it over one hundred j persons. Caught in a chaos of brick, plaster i and wood beams, between 20 and 30 men, women and children met death. Twelve hours' frantic work on the part of the rescuers disentangled fifty people, six of them dead 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. Anything like a complete list of the killed and injured will be unobtainable until the workers have made their way toJthe very bottom of the mass of weckage. With few exceptions, those I ^aught in the ruin were employes, a large majority of them girls. The catastropne occurred snortiy alter the opening hour, when barely a score of shoppers were in the store j A clock found in the derbis had stop| ped at 12 minutes before 9, showing when the crash came. The best account of the event that probably caused the ruin is given by the head of the crockery, glass and drug department, which occupies the j basement. "The workmen were sawing at a wooden floor beam," said he, "which runs underneath one of the central pillars in the middle of the store. Exeacavation for the cellar was going on about the base of the pillar, and I believe that jarring of the beam beneath it displaced the foundation of the pillar. The first thing I know two of the counters near the place where the men were working began to sag, several pieces of glassware slid off on to the floor with a crash. "I yelled to my clerks to run for the front of the store. The words were not out of my mouth when there came a creaking and everything around us began to fall. The wreck came slowly, however, and 1 think every one in my department escaped, as well as the workmen." The pillar which drew away supported the ends of two giant girders, and when it fell, the main support of the ' central part of the building was gone. | With a noise that could be heard blocks 'away and which shook the adjoining buildings, nearly half the great gtructure. from cellar to roof, and extending from one side wall to the other, came grinding down. Into this cavern fell cores of employes who were working on the four floors above and lacked the n>am<n? tvhlok nnahloH thncA in thp basement to escape. Some, however, were apprized of the danger by falling plaster and saved themselves by rushing to the front of the store or to the fire escape in the rear. Clouds of dust which shot out of the front entrance caused those outside to believe that the store was afire, and a fire alarm was immediately Xurned in. When the fire department thu'ed they had plenty to do in rescuingWose who were pinned under the top wreckage. They were joined by scores of volunteer rescuers: and within an hour 15 or 20 persons were carried out, none of them fatally injured. The volunteer rescuers and the firemen continued the work until exhausted, when their places were taken by a wrecking force numbering 300 men from the New York Central and Delaware & Hudson Railroads. These delved in the ruins all night, but the work of rescue progressed slowly. When darkness came it was estimated that nearly 50 persons still remained in the ruins and that not more than half of these could survice the weight pressing upon them. Fortunately the wreckage did not take fire. Some one hundred persons are still unaccounted for. but 50 of these are cash boys, of which the firm has no record, and the loss of the pay roll makes it difficult to get anything like a complete list of many others. In all. the company has 490 employes. but 50 of these are away on vacations. IX>33 $200,000 TO $300,000. The building which collapsed stands in the heart of the shopping district at Nos. 29 and 41 North Pearl street. It is owned partly by the company and partly by the estate of the late David Orr. The loss to the company is estimated at between $200,,000 and $300,000. St. Thomas Church Consumed. New York, Special.?St. Thomas Epidfcopal church, at Fifth avenue and and Fifty-third street, one of the most richly furnished religious edifices in America, was wrecked by fire Tuesday. The Hotel St. Regis is scarcely one block away and scores of the finest city homes in America are in the section of which the church was practically the center. The fire was confined to the church. A defective electric wiring is supposed to have started the fire. The loss is estimated by Fire Chief Crocker as at least a quarter of a million dollars. Ward Line Steamer on Florida Reefs. Miami, Fla., Special.?The Ward line steamer City of Washington is stranded of the reefs, five miles south of Fowey Rock light Wreckers have gone to her assistance. It is expected that the boat is lying in a very dangerous position, and that unless boats of larger size come to her assistance there is little hope of getting her off. It is said that the boat has a large and valuable freight cafgo. Two Big Volunteer Bankrupts. Knoxville, Tenn., Special.?Two volunteer petitions in bankruptcy were filed in the United States Court here Tuesday, the aggregate liabilities of which are over $600,000 and the assets reported as slightly in excess of $12,000. H. N. Saxton, Jr., gave his liabilities as $261,219.92 and assets $8,000. C. G. Shrader has liabilities of $350,040.94, and assets of $4,41S.80. Both men were endorsers on the paper o{ Saxon & Company, lumber exporters, which firm recently failed. 'J! " ' maum Notes of Southern Cotton Mills and Other Manufacturing EnterprisesAsheville, N. C. The Asheville Cotton Mill plant will soon be operated by electricity furnished by the W. T. Weaver Power Company, from the latter's water power plant on the French Broad, five mi'es below Asheville. The trill is now being equipped with tlie necessary motors These are of large si/e ami Dower, the maehii.ery to he affected being groiqied into units fly floors and not actuated by a motor attached to each loom, as in the Olympia Mills at Columbia. The sieam jKiwer will be discontinued. To supply this power and Vo meet other demands, the Weaver Company has recently doubled its power producing: capacity by the installation of a Bullock 750-horse jxiwer (jGO-volt dynamo which is now in operation. Askboro, N. C. Mr. S. Bryant and Mr. S. G.

Mr. Xewlin is president and Mr. Bryant secretary and treasurer of both corporations. Mr. Bryant owning the controlling interest in both plants. The mills consume 7.(500 bales of cotton, with an output of 3,700,000 yards of plaids and 730,000 seamless bags annually. They operate 1(5,000 spindles amj 1,01S looms and have recentIv put in place two improved Samp son water wheels ot' -J-J0 horse-power, each of which greatly reduces the cost of production, which is a matter of very great importance in this day of close competition in rncst all lines of manufacturing in this progressive and wide awake country of ours. Gastonia, N C. A gentleman who is in a good j>osition to know says that as fat*as |?>ssible H. Heeler Moore will succeed his father in the management of the cotton mills in which Captain Moore was interested. Mr. Moore has been in ottice with his father since the building of tlie Modena mill and is familiar with all the work in hand. He }K?ssesses many of the traits of his lamented father and lias unquestioned business ability. The Lorav Mill is working more hands than at any time, perhaps, since it began ojierations. Many new people have moved in and are working there. Last year it used only two of its large boilers. Now. it is using four. There is 110 night work at this mill. Haw River, N. C. The Tulinwood Manufacturing Company has begun work in its new plant, recently completed. It is expected the output of rottonades will soon reach 18,000 pounds weekly.

The South Carolina section of the climate and crop service of the Department of Agriculture issues the following official bulletin of weather and crop conditions for the past week: The mean temperature lor me wee* ending 8 a. in. August 7th was slightly below normal, but the week ended with excessive heat. The extremes were a maximum of 98 degrees at Columbia on the 6th, and a minimum of 60 degrees at Greenville on the 2nd and at Kingstree on the 3rd. The prevailing clear nights were favorable for rapid radiation causing considerable complaint of the nights having been too cool for vegetation, although not unusually low. The days were clear and hot. Winds were generally light. There were no damages reported from storms, hail or lloods. The greater portion of the State was without rain. A beneficial rain on the 4th covered the territory from Oconee county to Cherokee and a portion of York but did not extend eastward beyond the Piedmont section. The extreme southern ]>ortion had rain on the 6th. The drought is severe and injurious to crops over the western and central counties and over practically all the Savannah river valley counties, but the need of rain is felt over practically the entire State. The weather was favorable for cultivation awl laying by crops which work is practically finished With the exception of good reports from the coast counties where cotton is improving, there seems to have been a general deterioration in the condition of cotton over the whole State due to the plants turning yelyoung bolls, and to rusts which is now widely prevalent. Reports of damage dv insects conunue uui are opening generally' over the southern counties and in places, picking will be active next week. The first bale was ginned on the first of August. The 12 year average of first bales is August Gth; the earliest was July 28th 1890, the latest August 20th, 1S95. The dry weather is injurious to late corn, especia'ly that portion now in the tasselling stage. Tobacco curI ing is nearly finished, with the late crop better than th* early one. Early rice is heading and harvesting will begin the latter part of the month. Minor crops are doing fairly well, except pastures and gardens, but all need rain. Belton Power Company's Plant. Chandler, Greenville County, Special.?At Holliday's bridge, four mile? from Belton, six miles from Honea Path, and 12 miles from Williamston, there is being constructed a power plant, the importance and size of which are unknown to the general public. The builders are men who have no reason to advertise for subscribers to capital stock, and this in a measure accounts for the fa' that practically nothing has been said about the development in the newspapers. A dam has just been completed. 32 feet in height, 8 feet in thickness at the top with the proper thickness at the base for such a structure. It is near 600 feet long, and will turn the entire current of Saluda river into the canal that is being dug. This canal, nearly half a mile i a i?1._ _l?i:i.? ? in ICIIglll, luuha iiiuiusi uac a uuj^c river bed itself. The power that will be developed by means of this current of water will be treinedous but for the present only a portion of it will be utilized. Three immense water wheels will be placed in position in the power house, on which work is rapidly proceeding, and 4,000 horsepower will be developed at once, though this is not by any means the full amount of power that will be available.

PROMINENT PEOPLE STRICKEN. Among the cases is Louis Cucullu, n Jr., cashier of the People's Bank, who !j resides far out on North Johnson ' street. Another case is Maurice Kejrny, ex-councilman and ex-membec/of the Legislature. Two of Kenny's daughters were stricken Sunday. Only, "j five of the new foci are about Canal street. Surgeon White made a change in hit ) organization by which he hopes to accomplish results much quicker.. Tbw fumigation and screening work was all done by a central department under Doctor Gessner, which sent squads out . on notification of cases by physicians. ;; In the afternoon Dr. White assembled all of his subordinates in conference cS and decided to place the screening and fumigation work under the several dls*trict headquarters. The present force j will be divided up among the district surgeons, and Dr. Gessner will be given charge of one of the districts. CONCEALMENT MAIN TROUBLE. t Assostant Surgeon Corput has Just concluded a thorough investigation of conditions in Algiers, that part of New j Orleans on the west bank of the Mississippi river. There hps been two cases i in Algiers since we ouioreaa or iever i and Dr. White determined to ascertain by a house to house canvass if them > had been any spread from them. Dr. Corput reported that he had found not a single suspicious case, which indl- 'S cates that the prompt steps taken to screen and fumigate the original caseshave been effective in preventing njjj spread. Dr. White says that if he coutf^H learn of every case in the city and^^^H ply the proper methods immediatel^^^H is confident that be could stamp ou^^^H disease here in a short time. The great cause of the spread ha^P been the concealment of cases and~th? change of residence of people who have been infected. Dozens of cases are on record which show conclusively that the people have moved away from a > house where infection. had existed. This Dr. White proposes to stop, and while no drastic measures are being '/ taken, he is enforcing his authority. FORCING DOCTORS TO REPORT, The effectiveness of the district headquarters, which are making close investigations of the 17 districts, responsible for a large number of the hfrw cases which have been reported during # the last few days, and as the efficiency of that force increases, an increase In the number of cases daily can be expected. Physicians who have failed to report cases that are discovered are given an opportunity to correct their omission, but a second ofTence will result in prosecution under the law. This has also brought out a large number of cases that were under cover. Patterson, which is the largest center of infection outside of the city, renorts three new cases an-1 the flrat death. The victim is a young lady. She died and this has naturally depressed the spirits of the people. They have had 1 39 cases there so far. They have opened an emergency hospital, which now has seven patients. At Bon Ami, in Calcasieu parish, there is only one case of yellow fever, with no new cases and no stlsplcious cases. An Ugly Infection Center. "i An exceedingly ugly center or infection was unearthed in St. Charles' parish by Dr. Corput, of the Marine Hospital service. Two days ago he unearthed six cases on the Diamond plantation and he found two more I cases on that place and eleven cases on the reserve plantation, eleven miles further north, and one case on the Sarpy plantation. It Is believed that over thirty Italians have left this group in the last week, but there Is no trace of them, nor will there be unless infection should^ develop among them at their places of refuge. Two of fho racno nn fho DoaorT-o nlontoflftn died while Dr. Corput was there. This plantation belongs to the Godchaux 4 estate, and Dr. Godchaux has taken charge of the situation there and will carry out the instructions of the Marine Hospital Service. 30 Cases in One Village. Five more cases have developed at Patterson, in St. Mary parish, making 30 cases in all there. While the infection was taken there by Italian* Xtptn. the infected district in New Orlfcans the disease has spread among the residents, and several ladies and children are afflicted. Eight of the patients are convalescent. Dr. Horton, the State Board of Health inspector, reached Tallulah .but has not reported yet whether tbs illness there is yellow fever. f President Wires Condolence.
