LEADER SON C. C. LEADER SON New Carpets for Autumn Higher prices for carpets are now well established and, in fact, most dealers have been charging advanced prices for some time past, except, of course, for the odds and ends and old job lots, that are a good riddance at any time. Although we have buying advantages not equalled in the region some of our new carpets are marked at a slight advance over last year's prices, as they cost us more than for several years past and our only other choice would have been to cheapen the quality- an impossibility with us. Most of our lines show no advance whatever.

We show only the best makes in each line and, as in former years, we have taken our choice from the season's best patterns we can truthfully say that we have the best full line we have ever shown. Following is the range of prices. Tapestry Carpets 65, 75 and 90c. Velvet Carpets $1.00, $1.10, $1.15 Axminster Carpets $1.25 and $1.35 Body Brussels (Best 5 frame) $1.35 All Brussels carpets Sewed, Laid and Lined Free of Charge. C.

C. Leader Son STORM'S DAMAGE GROWS. Eight Fishermen Lost and Many Craft Still Unaccounted For. New York, Sept. names have been added to the long list whick tells of those who on Wednesday per ished in the turmoil of the seas.

Halt masted flags in the basin back of Fulton market proclaim eight dead from the fishing smacks, including two captains who each for half a century had been plying between the East river and Hatteras. Of the sixty-eight Fulton schooners which sailed away a few days ago only thirty-tve, torn by wind and wave, have returned, and it is believed that at least five more of that fleet and fifty men have perished. From a survivor who was brought into Norfolk, was learned the fate of fifteen shipmates who were carried down to their death off Florida by the foundering of the British steamer Mex. icane. Laggard messengers of bad news straggled into havens along the Atlantic seaboard told of other disasters.

The loss of a man from a tug here, the sweeping of two or three of a crew from the decks of a schooner there. Dispatches received from regions which had been cut off from communication continue to bring additional details of the loss of life and damage to shipping and property caused by the fury of the storm. Among the craft which suffered se. verely from the gale was the United States torpedo boat Lawrence, which yesterday reached the Virginia coast with battered plates and shorn of her bridge. Inland the damage wrought by the storm was greater than was at frat believed.

Many buildings were overturned and hundreds of structures destroyed. In the rural regions of Delaware and New Jersey the winds hurled to the ground the nearly ripened fruit. thus entalling a heavy loss upon the growers. It is estimated that between Canarsie and Fort Hamilton alone 300 craft of various kinds were lost, and the damage is placed at $250.000. BASEBALL.

Levett Yeats WILL BE OUR NEXT SERIAL STORY This is a fascinating romance of the times of Henry of Navarre when brave gentlemen made love vehemently and defended their claims hotly with the ever ready sword which dangled at their heels. The Heart of Denise is an apt title.

While the tale belongs to the era of chivalry, the skillful delineation of the varying emotions of a woman's heart under trying circumstances is for all ages. The story is put in the mouth of the heroine and right charmingly does she tell it. BATTLE FIELD VISITED President Speaks at Antietam Monument Dedication. NEW JERSEY SOLDIERS HONORED Large Delegation of Veterans Escorts Distinguished Guests to Famous Ground--Governor Murphy Makes Presentation Speech. Sharpsburg, Sept.

magnificent monument erected on the historic battle field of Antietam by the grateful state of New Jersey to its men who fell in the great engagement was dedicated under unpleasant weather conditions. The occasion was rendered particularly notable by the presence at and participation in the ceremonies of the president of the United States and of Governor Murphy, the chief executive of the state which was honoring its heroes. Shortly after reaching Sharpsburg station the president and Governor Murphy, accompanied by Senators Kean and Dryden. their entire party and hundreds of citizens, left for the famous old Dunkard church, on the battle field of Antietam. There the brigades of veterans formed in columns of fours and escorted the president, Governor Murphy and distinguished guests to the monument.

The monument is in the form of an ornate Corinthian column of granite forty feet high, surmounted by a heroic figure in bronze of an officer with upraised sword leading his men in charge. The figure is intended as a representa- GOVERNOR MURPHY. tion of Captain Irish of the Thirteenth New Jersey volunteers, who was the only New Jersey officer killed at Antietam. After the assemblage had been called to order by James O. Smith of the New Jersey monument commission and an invocation had been pronounced by Rev.

D. R. Frazer of Newark Mr. Smith reported to Governor Murphy the final work of the commission. On behalf of the state of New Jersey Governor Murphy presented the monument in a graceful and timely address.

President Roosevelt's Address. President Roosevelt as he rose to accept the monument on behalf of the federal government was accorded an ovation. He spoke in part as follows: We meet today upon one of the great battlefields of the civil war. No other battle of the civil war lasting but one day shows as great a percentage of loss as that which occurred here upon the day on which Antietam was fought. Moreover, in its ultimate effects this battle was of momentous and even decisive importance, for when it had ended and Lee had retreated south of the Potomac, Lincoln forthwith published that immortal paper, the preliminary declaration of emancipation, the paper which decided that the civil war, besides being a war for the preservation of the Union, should be slave, a war that for from the that emancipation time onward of the so causes of Union and of freedom, of national greatness and individual liberty, were one and the same.

If the issue of Antietam had been other than it was it is probable that at least two great European powers have recognized independence Conarouse federacy, 80 that you who fought here forty-one years ago have the profound satisfaction of feeling that you played well your part in one of those crises big with the fate of all mankind. You men of the Grand Army your victory not only rendered all Americans your debtors forevermore, but you rendered all humanity your debtors. If the Union had been dissolved, if the great edifice built with blood and sweat and tears by mighty Washington and his compeers had gone down in wreck and ruin, the result would have been an incalculable calamity not only for our people--and most of all for those in such event would have seemIngly triumphed--but for all mankind. It was because you who wear the Grand Army button triumphed in those dark years that every American now holds his head high, proud in the knowledge that he belongs to a nation whose glorious past and great present will be succeeded by an even mightier future, whereas had you failed we would all of us, north and south, east and west. be now treated by other nations at the best with contemptuous tolerance, at the worgt with overbearing insolence.

It now rests with us in civil life to make good by our deeds the deeds which you who wore the blue did in the great years from 1861 to 1865. The patriotism, the courage, the unflinching resolution and steadfast endurance of the soldiers whose triumph was crowned at Appomattox must be supplemented on our part by civic courage, civic honesty, cool sanity and steadfast adherence to the immutable laws of righteousness. You left us a reunited country, reunited in faot as well as in name. You left ug the right of brotherhood with your gallant foes who wore the gray, the right to feel pride in their courage and their high fealty to an ideal, even though they warred against the stars in their courses. There was no patent device for securing victory by force of arms forty years ago, and there is no patent device for securing victory for the forces of righteousness in civil life now.

In each case the all important factor was and is the character of the individual man. Good laws in the state, like a good organization in an army, are the expressions of national character. Leaders will be developed in military and in civil life alike and weapons and tactios change from generation to generation as methods of achieving good government change in civic affairs, but the fundamental qualities which make for good citizenship do not change any more than the fundamental qualities which make good soldiers. The qualities essential to good citizenship and to good public service now are in all their essentials exactly the same as in the days when the first congresses met to provide for establishment of the Union; as in days, seventy years later, the when the congresses met which had to provide for its salvation. There are many qualities which we need alike in private citizen and in public man, but three above all-three for the lack of which no brilliancy and no genius can esty common sense.

anando those three are courage, honDuring the afternoon the rain ceased and the gun came out brilliantly. The president, together with Governor Murphy, Senators Kean and Dryden and accompanied by General Carmen, who commanded the Thirteenth New Jersey volunteers in the battle, entered a carriage and drove to various points of interest on the historic field. General Carmen gave the president a vivid description of the battle, indicating every point of interest and importance. The president passed the evening quietly on his train at this station. He dined as the guest of Governor Murphy in the governor's dining car, the other guests being Senators Kean and Dryden, the New Jersey members of congress and the members of the governor's staff.

Promptly at 9 o'clock, the train pulled out of Sharpsburg for the return trip. CHINESE DRIVEN OUT. A Mob at Tonopah, Robs and Beats Celestials. Tonopah, Sept. at this place was invaded during the night by a mob comprised mostly of cooks and waiters, who at the point of guns compelled a number of Chinamen to leave town at once.

Several who did not comply were badly beaten, dragged to the outskirts of the town and told to take the road to Sodaville. Later on all but one returned to town and notified the officers. They stated that Ping Lung, a seventy-three-yearold man and the proprietor of a wash house, was one of the victims, and they believed he had perished on the road. Searching parties were sent out later, and they found his horribly mutilated body three miles west of town. The Chinamen were also robbed of several hundred dollars before being run out of town.

Eighteen men have been arrested and are now in jail. Among the number is F. M. Arandall, president of a labor union. A meeting of the citizens of Tonopah has been held at which 1.000 or more persons were present, and a committee was appointed to draft resolutions denunciatory of the action of the mob.

THE CANAL TREATY. Senator Obaldia Sees Hope For Ratification Yet. Panama, Colombia, Sept. Obaldia, the new governor of the isthmus, who has arrived here from Bogota, in an interview said: "I consider the election of General Reyes for the next presidential term a8 the only solution to the Panama canal difficulty. If he is elected, as is wished by the whole republic, there is not the slightest doubt that the treaty will be ratified by the next congress.

"Before leaving Bogota I had several conferences with the American minister. who agrees with me. and I am sure that he has cabled to his government in regard to this important matter. The Bogota papers reported that the communication of the American minister, Mr. Beaupre, to Foreign Secretary Rico contributed to the rejection of the canal treaty.

"The fact is, the rejection was the result of the work of the enemies of President Marroquin in the senate, who for political not patriotic reasons would vote against any and every measure proposed by the president." Colonel Lathers Dead. New York, Sept. Richard Lathers, eighty -four years old, one of the most prominent southerners of this city and the representative whom the chamber of commerce and Governor Dix sent in 1860 to the people of the southern states to try to dissuade them from seceding from the Union, is dead here.
