is to of Sir Continued From First Fage. In any sufficient sense my appreciation. It was so entirely unexpected. I have just come from a tour through the West, and I have found that the people out there were about the same as the people here. They have turned a wilderness into a paradise.

I have been glad to meet and greet the people of so grand an empire, where every man Is a sovereign nnd every woman a queen. Ihe greatness of our country Is largely due to the fact that In a national war every man Is a soldier. I reeoguize that to-day you do not honor the soldier as un individual, but the service which lie represents. You desire to admire through him the service which he has rendered to his country." tA the conclusion of his remarks the trip to Waliiugford began. This was one of the features of the reception.

The car in which Admiral Schley rode was the private one of the directors of the Wilmington Traction Company. Inside and out it was profusely decorated with flags nnd The trolley pole was enveloped in fluttering flags. On each side of the car the word "Welcome" In large letters was Inscribed in bunting.

In another special car following were the ladles of the party, the two Mesdanies S-hicy. Mrs. McClure and Miss Gratz. Mr. McClure mid three or four others rode In this car.

Crowd Kept Cars Back. Progress through the streets for several squares was very slow. Packed ou both slues of tlii' street was a cheering niul'l-tude. Admiral Schley stood on the baek platform, hat In hand, bowing right, and left. Whenever the car would make a mo nientary stop a rush would be made to grasp the Admiral's hand.

Women wore us eager for tiiis privilege as Hie men, and boys and girls mounted the car in imminent danger of death under the wheels, nnd idling there until tbdr little fingers had been closed within the hand of the Admiral. Every store along the route was draped in the national colors, and from every window and flag-stuff Old Glory flapped in the breeze. Private dwellings were decorated In a manner as profuse, and everywhere was to be seen holiday drapery. There was plenty of noise, too. Mingling with the cheers of the people were the reports of firecracker and torpeJes, the shrii k-Ing of steam whistles and the ringing school bells.

As the ear sped out into the country these noises ceased, yet all along the road farm houses aud trees were decked in red white and blue. In the lawn of one stately mansion was built miniature battleship and as the car bearing the admiral sped by three little boys In sailor sails, who were standing at attention beside their ship, touched their caps In regulation salute. Occasionally a group of children would be passed, perched on the fence, waving their hats anil handkerchiefs. The farmers lu the ileitis stopped their work long enough lo wave their lints ns the party passed. All along the route people were gathered In lit tle groups, hoping to catch a glimpse of the admiral and wave him a welcome.

The Arrival at Waliiugford. At Walllngfoitl quite a crowd had gathered, and everyone was given a hearty handshake by the Admiral as he passed among liein. His arm was a little tired, and lie often admonished the more enthusiastic oiios to "go a little easy." Arriving nt the home of Mr. McClure, the reception committee sat a while with "him upon the spa-clous veranda, and then returned to Chester. Admiral Schley likes to talk about ills recent trip through the West.

The reception he received there surprised him lu its warmth. At some places, he said, the people would block the train until he haif made short talk and grasped a few hands. The women, though, he said, were more vigorous hand-shakers than the men. Each one seemed to give his hand an extra little squeeze. He says he Is feeling In the best of health, and his appearance fully bears his statement out.

Will Celebrate nn the Brooklyn. The admiral, has not fully decided upon bis programme for the next two weeks. He is not even certain where he will spend July 3 and 4. The plan of the Chester people to have him as their guest for the Fourth was not known by him until ves-terday. and he Is not absolutely certain that he will be able to be present, however, he assured the committee that he would make a special effort to be with them for a part of the day at least.

This much he thought would be possible. This 1 accepted by the committee as a guarantee of his appearance, and they are going for-1 w-nru with tliel preparation for a roaring celebration on the Fourth. The little surprise which they had planned to give him on the night of July by a serenade, at Waliiugford, will have to be abandoned, ns the admiral lias promised to beiat New Y'ork that. day and celebrate the tlrst anniversary of' the battle of Santiago with the men of his flagship, the Brooklyn. The admiral says he couldn't miss being with the boys upon that day.

Many Invitations have come to him from all over the country to be present at celebrations of the Santiago victory and Independence Day. Omaha was very much put out that he would not be at that place. Baltimore, where he has been spending a few days visiting General Angus, of the Baltimore Sun, had counted upon having the admiral at her celebration. His plans for those two dates, he stated, were not fully decided upon as yet. To Itest at Walilngfonl.

Ill the intervening time the admiral hopes get coiudderable Test nt Waliiugford. He says he will have to make a few business trips to Washington and has various other matters to attend to. On Saturday, Julv 1. there Is a possibility that he will accent an invitation to be present nt Willow lirove Park, In Philadelphia. After his stay wilh Mr.

McClure Is ended Admiral and Mrs. Schley will spend a few-weeks In Connecticut at the country Place their daughter, Mrs. Wurtlcy. CHAMBERLAIN IS PRUDENT Wants Jamaicans to Fall Back on Canada IT Wo Do Not Suit Them. Kingston, Jamaica, June 24.

When the top of the iuclosure was reached Roland made an effort to lessen the speed of the machine, but, to the horror of himself aud his companion, the brake fulled to operate.

It looked like death for both of them, for at the western end of the bridge, in which direction tiiey were going, was the ponderous machinery of mill revolving at great velocity. Somehow or other the automobile took a turn to the right, struck the railing of the bridge, tearing away line of steam pipes and falling to the ground a few feet from the canal with both occupants under it. The employer of the mill lifted Bohiud and Lorimer from underneath the. machine, olid, much to their surprise, both escaped injury, excepting a black eye for the former and a cut forehead for the latter. The automobile was rendered worthless, and a bicycle which was In it was broken.

A big downtown department store has a young man employed as rug salesman who, at times, evinces geniiin In the highest degree. Into the store there recently came a south side society woman wtdl known for nervousness and a tendency to flounder about la her topics of conversation. She desired a rug of a certain size. The young man got down two or three to show her.

In the middle of his explanation as to quality and price she turned away and began to examine gootls ou a neighboring counter. Then idte went back to the young man and wanted to loos nt some more rugs. He started to one out, when die wandered away again. When she returned the third time he had a stool plaeetl In an angle of the counter and suggested that perhaps she would be sealed while he got the rug. Wheu she taken her seat he spread the rug so that It eil'ectilnlly blocked the angle and prevented her escape.

He held lip the eiUre of the rug farthest from her so she couldn't walk over it, and eto kept her penned up while lie explained how flue rug it was.

MR. HOOIEY'S SUMPTUOUS LIFE The English Bankrupt's Estnbllsh-jnent still Kept Up In Fine Stylo. Krnest Terah Ilooley, the most famous bankrupt of modern times, fares suinptuous- ly every day of his life, says the London Mall. When he tiled his petition he had four addressos-Uisley Hall, Derbyshire; Pap-worth Hall, Cambridgeshire; a hotfcse in HIM slreet, Herkeloy Square, which he rented furnished, by the month, from Lady Illudlip and a sumptuous suite of rooms at the Midland Grand Hotel. St.

Puncras. Now he has only three. He hardly ever used Lady Hlndllp's house, and he has given it up. The splendid apartments at the Mld- land Grand have been abandoned for a scare- I.v less imposing set of offices at Walsingbuui House. And that, practically.

Is all the material difference that bankruptcy has made to Mr Hooley. Papworth and Itlsley are still his--or his family's, which Is, to jill intents and purposes, the same thing. Not a servant Una lin.m single piece of furniture removed from either mansion In consequence of the bankruptcy Hot!) houses were under mortgage when Mr ley Wed his petition. In hurh cases the mortgage lias since been raised, and Mr Hooley has happily been relieved of the whleh it was at first supposed would threat hlm-tlie necessity, namely of moving with his family Into a cheap suite of liondnu lodgings. Nobody can doubt who sees Mr.

Hooley at home on his broad acres that this is all' for the best so far as Mr. Hooley is concerned-mid one Is almost inclined to congratulate urn upon an event which, while it involves him In no personal discomfort, leaves him-with "greater freedom and less responsibility -leisure to cultivate the simple but cost tastes which he was unable to grut-y in a period when he reckoned his millions with the burned end of a match on a clean tablecloth. He Is devoted to the pursuits of a country Ifo, and in his admirably cut uveed shooting coal and riding breeches, made by the ne.st exclusive of West F.nd tailors, and his nutty lent In gaiters of the most fashionable pattern, he looks, with his smart, little figure and his crisp, woll-t rimmed brown beard Hie very ideal squire. And if the breezlness of manner suggests somewhat whimsical-ly the atmosphere of the Adelphl Theatre one feels sure that it Is nevertheless devoid of affectation. It Is at Itlsley Hall that Mr.

Hooley Is real j- at home. Here, surrounded by his Derbyshire neighbors, to whom his open-handed generosity far more than compensates for the occasional bnisoueness of his maimer, he lives the life that he loves.

GEOGRAPHY OF RED HAIR Where lt Does Sot Grow Nnturally it is Dyed. The geographical distribution of red-headed girls is, fortunately, wide.

They can be found lu every Inhabited quarter of the world, says the New York Journal. The so-called dark races are frequently glorified by glowing locks. The Spaniards are swarthy as a race, but the purest blooded CastlllaiiR frequently show traces of their wsigotuic blood by blue eyes and red hair. The Infanta Eulalie, who visited this country in ISO, Is red-headed. Kcd-halrcd Italians urc fairly numerous In Italy, though not In New York.

They are most numerous in the northern provinces, where there Is the greatest iufuslon of German blood. And there is no girl In the world prettier than a red-haired Italian or Spaniard except It be a red-haired American girl. In Ireland a rod-haired girl Is made miserable by being called a "Dane." This-epithet Is a legacy of a thousand years or more, from the time when the Danes actually did override the coasts of Britain. In a similar manner the Norsemen who -Invaded Sicily centuries ago and Intermarried with the inhabitants left descendants gleaming brain thatches. where there aren't any red-haired girls by nature as among the Moors and Arans the glowing locks are commonest of all.

The women all dye their jetty tresses to a most lovely red with henua. Mary Stuart's Descendants.

THE PETITION INDUSTRY VV ell-Known Business In Gives One Mun a Good Living. The petition Industry is booming, says a Washington correspondent of the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. In the indexing of the Congressional Record for the session Just closed one man is handling nothing hut the petitions.

Day after day he sits at his desk making up the catalogue of prayers of the people. If he finishes his stint by the time the rest of the Index Is ready for the printer he will realize expectations. Most men in Congress formally recognize expression of "the right, of petition." if they receive petitions they Introduce them. Some years ago, when he was In the Senate, Mr. Sherman presented a petition.

The request conveyed therein was so at variance with the Senator's known convictions that a newspaper man asked him what he meant. "Nothing," was the reply; "nothing at all. I recognize the right of petition, and I put in the request without regard to my opinion on the subject. 1 do not consider myself In any way committed by such action." Hack of the right of petition Is political history and evolution of government. The first amendment to the Constitution of the I'nlted States declared right of petition.

Hut the present petition Industry was not contemplated in the long contest between rulers and people which ended in acknowledgment of the right of petition. Within the memory of present officials of Congress petitions have multiplied one hundred fold. Where there were ten petitions twenty years ago there are a thousand Petitions have ceased to represent the voluntary exercise of the right. They are now a product of American manufacture. The rapidity with which the product Is Increasing makes It only a question of time when Congress will adopt measures to discourage If II cannot repress the exercise.

printing' of the petitions by title has become a serious Item of expense. The House no longer wastes time with the public presentation of these petitions, but. provides a box Into which they are dropped, (m the back pages of the Hecord the briefest possible dally list of the contents of the box appears. The Senate still permits the Introduction of these petitions, but will hardly do so much longer. Lust session the reading of the petitions by titles consumed much time aud many columns of the proceedings.

The manufacture of petitions Is a matter of pride and profit with those who conduct it. There is one man in Washington who writes "Key." before his name and "1). after, who earns an income ennui to that paid many pastors of metropolitan churches ny me nianuiacture or petitions. He seeks for subjects for reform, prepares blank ne- tltlons addressed to Congress, and sends the printed forms in bundles to various parts of the country, making use. of church and benevolent organizations.

These petitions are passed around, signed anil mulled back to the Senators and ltcprescutativos, to be presented to Congress. This goes on year after year. From Washington public sentiment, which finds expression In petition signing. worked up, and the petitions come by the mall bagful, for supposed influence on legislation. The man who does all this creates the minds of good people a confidence in nis uscjuiuess, wnicn prompts them to contribute through their organizations a handsome salary for his support.

A NEW FUEL is Clean nnd Has N'o IMval as a Steam Producer. In appearance astatkl, a product of the oil wells of Baku, is a dark, viscous fluid uot more inflammable than vegetable oil, and less so than coal, says the Pall Mall Magazine. As a steam producer it has no rival, and the demand for this purpose Is constantly on the increase. Nothing else Is burned on railways In Central Asia, the Caucasus and Southern Russia, on the lllack Sea, Caspian aud river steamers, and in the Innumerable industrial works which are springing into existence on the Azov littoral. On the railways which employ this substitute for coal locomotive tenders are not plied high with black diamonds, but carry a sheet-Iron astatkl tank, hich Is filled bv' ouiiioiiiir the force of gravity.

Numerous are the systems of feeding furnaces with astatkl; and. Indeed, every engineer has his own pet apparatus. The principle of all is that of the Knot's blower. A current of steam or preferably air. carrying wilh it the fuel In minute sultdlvislous.

Is forced at high pressure through a nozzle, called a "pulverizer," into the tubular Interior of the boiler to be heated. The result Is an Intensely white, roaring flume, and lu pulverizers of the latest type the value of astatkl as compared with coal a steam raiser, is as 2V, to 1. The former sells at liaku at $2.30 per ton, and when the pipe line connecting that place with lliitnum complete, astatkl will he delivered at the steamer's side at something like $4. At the latter price coal will clearly be unable to compete with its youthful rival. Nor do the advantages of astatkl end with its cheapness.

Engines burning It require no army of stokers, for all that is necessary In the largest is a man to regulate the supply bv taps. There is no smoke, litter or dust. Many a passenger by ocean steamer will bless the when astatkl shall supplant ooal.and the stokers who are roasted alive in tropical waters will have still greater reason to be thankful for the revolution.

A "boarder" Is a tramp, generally a professional, who prefers a nightly ride on an road train to going to a cheap lodging house, us a matter of economy. A lodging house of even the meanest pretensions charges fifteen cents for a bed, while an road "boarder" can get nil the sleep he wants for a nickel. If he is adroit and does not go to sleep at the transfer station he oun get six to eight liours' sleep for the payment of One rare. At this time of the your, too, the professional tramp prefers a well ventilated car, with the doors and windows wide open, and whleh takes him far away from the lower part of New York, to a close and stuffy bunk in a Jiowery lodging house. road men say they have never seen so ninny of me iioaruers as tins season nrings them.

Thev attribute this to the extension of the roads. The "boarder" usually goes Into the first "i nisi car uiiii runs nimseir up 111 corner lino goes to sleep. He conforms with every rule and is entitled to every privilege. The only tluie be causes trouble Is when he oversleeps himself and refuses to wake up and walk out at the terminus. The employes handle him with not too much cure, and that Is the only time a "hoarder" shows tight.

Sometime the disturbance thus caused Is sufficiently serious to call for the interference of a policeman, lu which case the "boarder" spends the rest of the night in a prison cell. The case goes no further, bow-ever, for nobody ever appears to prosecute a "boarder." Hy getting on a train at City Hall the boarder" can get a two hours'' ride on a bird avenue train to Tremont and back ngin to a transfer station, from here he rides up to One Hundred anil Klftv-fifth street, on the west side. If he does not over-sleep himself niul manages to get out a station or two before the terminus is reached ne can keep the game up all night. WHEN FASTING IS FATAL Loss or Welelit liolow a Certain rolnt Jirlngs Death. During a long fast the daily loss of weight becomes gradually less and less, says the New York Journal.

Death comes when the total loss lias reached a certain percentage, which percentage varies with the original weight. Fat animals may lose half their weignt, thinner ones perhaps two-fifths.

THE SIZE OF THE SUN Comparisons Which Show it to be a Large Affair. The earth on which we stand Is, no doubt, mighty globe, measuring as It does S.ooo miles In diameter, yet, says Pearson's Weekly, what are Its dimensions In comparison with those of the sun? If the earth be represented by a ernln of mustard seed, then on the same scale the sun should be represented by a cocoanut.
