CHILD BITTEN BY DOG.
Animal Is Said to Be Habitual
Drunkard.
(Iloueton Post Special.)
Sour Lake. .Texas octouei .. Jreat ex-
citement waa created on Fannin street
about 10 o'clock this morning when a dog
that Is supposed to be affected with hy-
drophobia attacked and bit the little son
of Mrs. Flank Boulef. Dr. Southworth
dressed the wounds which were on the
right hand and arm burning them with
caustic.
Mr' John C. Heaton who was near at
hand went into his store and secured a
revtlver and ''shot three times at the
dog as It wus scampering away. It Is
said tlial this same canine haa been tre-
ating trouble in several pans of the city
ln:ng children to the number of litres
iX'tt to the child this morning and mat
it ha all-.) attacked and bluen many
dogs cows? etc. Some one approached
the tiwuer ol the dog several days ago
and told hli.t that. It whs mad and it
is . cmlmcd that he consenterl for any
one to kill it. The theory peculiar as It
my Wfm. is advanced that the dog Is an
- habitual crunkaM. Parties -who pretend
to kntw saVthot the dog watches for
cuipty ttrr kegs to be thrown out of the
saloons and that he manages to turn
them ovet lapping up what stale beer id
left In tne kegs. The dog. It Is said loit-
er; abound the saloons and watrhes for
such "i; i Unities to get his dally quota
of Vwse. Mrs. Boulet Is very uneasy
concerning her lttle boy who was bitten
this morning and shp may decide to send
nira a way jot treatment.

ftpQSEVELT DISGUSTS
Close View of the Han on
' ' t (From th New York News.) a ;
Th following remarkable character
aketch of Theodore Roosevelt wa writ-
ten by a former "Western newspaper man
who cam East a few years ago filled
with admiration for th nation' present
chief executive but who upon closer ob-
servation and personal contact wa soon
undeceived. An analytical review ot tho
rrtLhods employed by Mr. RooMvelt to
attain hi political end revealed to the
writer of the. sketch the real character
of the man. Logical deduction (haltered
hi Ideal and truth came to him at last.
Waahlngton. September S8.Oif of th
cemmonest expression to be heard de-
scrlpUv of President Roosevelt 1 that
he ba a "typical Western" Individuality.
So- far no one ha taken' the pain to
deny thl libel on the cnaxacter of West-
ern people for provincial Easterner ac-
cept the statement a true and Western-
ers for the must part are so Ignorant of
the true Roosevelt they are yet unaware
of the slur this put upon them. A a
rran born and reared In th Middle West
who still love it way and people X
want vigorously to protest against the
mistaken or malicious representation that
- Roosevelt typ Is Western. .: -
Because of my Western breeding and
training I feel that I am able to form
a correct estimate of the people of that
region; and because Ot my residence for
st me time In the East and intimate ac-
quaintance with many persons who
have been associated at close range wltn
Rcoaevelt I think I am competent to
Break of his characteristic with soma
knowledge.
The belief that Roosevelt Is an VEast-
ern man with Western ideas" is enter-
l allied by two " classes of people th.iso
who know Roosevelt but don't know the
IV tut. and those who know the West
but aon't Know Roosevelt.
The Typical Westerner..
There Is a third las wha are fa-
miliar both with the West and with
Roosevelt and It Is from the standpoint
of these people that I profess to speak.
They bitterly resent having Western
people put under the shodBy make be-
lieve classification where Roosevelt be-
longs. There are certain qualities of mind and
heart which by general consent are at-
tributed to the Westerner.
. These are generosity broad-mindedness
unconvenionamy democratic spirit
fndependence sincerity and courage. 11
Roosevelt is to be called Western he must
have all or almost all -of these qualifica-
tions. Aa a matter ot fact only two of
them may be given him with correctness
and one of these only with reservation.
Unconventionallty a striving tor uncon-
vemlonailty he may be said to have
while courage In the physical sense has
never pu Jllny been withheld in estimating
him; buf moral courage he has many
times demonstrated he has not. Of the
other qualities he either has none or in
such small degree they may be disre-
garded. From his lavishness with the public
purse people may have got the Idea he
was generous but persons who have been
closely asaoclated with him declare he Is
so "frugal'.' aB to be absolutely niggardly.
This Is Interesting.
The public Is now probably pretty gen-
erally aware that the special train
stocked with provisions cigar and
wines In which President Roosevelt
made his tour of the country a few
months ago was a "dead head" affair;
that Roosevelt nccepted the whole thing
representing a cost of at least 125000
from the railroads without even so much
as a "thank you" though other presi-
dents notably Cleveland have Insisted
on paying their way even for special
trains.
But there are a few Incidents of the
trip of which the general public has not
yet heard. It la common talk among the
newspaper men and others who went on
that swing "round the circle" that at Its
close Roosevelt confined the gratuities
he made strictly to the one car he oc-
cupied! Those who remember how Pres-
ident McKinley always Included the en-
tire train crew in his gifts could not fall
to remark the difference. Other presi-
dents who were too old-fashioned to ac-
cept really demand for a request from
(.. e president la o considered 15000
favors from corporation might reasona-
bly have been expected to be so shy et
oash at the end of their pald-for Journey
they couldn't afford to remember the
train crew.
But with the new style of eating
drinking smoking and riding at the ex-'
pense of the railroad rt was thought
there might be a small surplus for such
a purpose.' The deadhead Mbit doesn't
admit of loosening the purse strings for
any purpose.
'Another Talev
Another tale told of this trip while
it doesn't come under the hend of
stinginess is Instructive. When the
train first started out there -was only
one man to attend to the stock of wines
and liquors. Before the trip was half
over the strain had been so great he
felt sick in a few days had to be sent
home and later died. Thereafter two
men were put in charge of this depart-
ment and the train clicked on merrily
ever the rails.
As fO'- democratic spirit those who
know say there Is none of the real kind
in the Hoosevelt makeup. It is assumed
and paraded when votes are In sight.
His most particular friend Is Senator
LrfjdgJ of Massachusetts who has the
name of being the first snob in Wash-
ington. The president may dine negroes
and miners at the White House but when
not vote hunting he practices an exclu-
slveness that bordarg on affectation and
snobbery 9
A Fictitious Reputation.
His boa9ted independence is as lacking
as his other self-vaunted virtues. What
reputation he had politically before . he
became governor of New York waa made
by strutting around and blathering about
clean politics and clvir- service reform.
He was a delegate to the republican Na-
tional convention which nominated Blaine
In Before going there he talked
loudly about tbetng unable to support a
man with such a record as Blaine's; he
for one wouldn't do It and similar ex-
pressions. When he got to Chicago some
of the politicians got around him. told
him what a bright your.g man he . s
what a great future he had and wl.... a
shame it would be for htm to ruin his
chances by not falling In line for
Blaine.
. Tho result was Roosevelt supported
the nominee Just like a machine poli-
tician while other New York delegates
who had talked less bolted ''his epi-
sode however did not keep Roosevelt
from still talking about Independence In
politics right up to the fall of 1898 when
"ttous" lJlatt thought some one with a
war record was needed to run for gov-
ernor. Th bait was held out to the
Rough Rider and he swallowed It at a
gulp.
A Tax Dodger.
He came down merely to ' Piatt's
headquarters took the offered nomina-
tion and was barely elected In spit of
war. While In Washington as assistant
secretary of the navy he had sworn he
was not a resident of New York to avoid
paying taxes there but that was easily
recanted when sn office was In sight.
After being elected governor he went
from Albany down to New York regular
ly every week to get his orders from
Piatt and the boss has never bad a
more subservient tool. B. B. Odell a
machine politician of the worst ort
who succeeded Roosevelt and who made
no boast about his independence has
tx-en his own master sbsolutely. Since
he became president his alliances with
iQUay and Addtcks th most nntprlus cor-
ruption in politics confirm the pre-
ceding statements f hi lack ot sincerity
and lack of independence.
; Abrencs of - moral courage Is also
liwn by the instance Just given. If
anything Were needed to confirm this
view many newspaper men might tes-
tify. They- sll regard Roosevelt as an
exceedingly dangerous man to quote.
Newspaper men would rather' sot quota

5".rdan at all than-to represent him
faithfully and then have him "welch"
on th Interview If It happened to got
him Into trouble.
' Established' a Censorship." J
There are some public men however
who have the courage to take their
rrediclne when they do an Indiscreet
thin; ven when thty have a private
aeoretary to blame It on.
Why do not some of these unfavor-
able even disgusting characteristic of
Roosevelt that re patent to all closo
to him become butter known though-
out the country may be asked. Al-
though Roosevelt has so far as 1 known
no ex-convict press agent to build "iiim
a reputation as his dear friend Dr. Wood
had he has other means. Th moat ef-
fective 1 a censorship of news which at
times is almost a Intolerable a the
csar's. Ol his swing 'round the circle
not a word was allowed to go out by tele-
graph to the newspaper unless It wa
first approved by tne president' private
ecretary.
Besides there were boatotflce Inspector
on the train so that the newspaper cor
respondents were acutally afraid to trust
the malls with any tabooed matter. At
Oyster Bay during the summer a ecret
ervtcw matt wa placed in the telegraph
office In th guise of an extra telegraph
operator but really as a censor and spy.
A Reporter's Experience.
One instance Is known where a re-
porter handed in a nannies article as
to the Rosevelt's doings to be tele-
graphed to his paper but before It waa
sent he wa called before the president'
private oretary and Informed In affect
that he muat not send It and If he did
steps would be taken to have him recalled
or discharged! In another care a Wash-
ington correspondent actually wa re-
called by his paper at the behest ot the
president because be printed an article
that was not true oh no but because
he printed a true story that the presi-
den did not happen to like. Examples
of coercion like this may explain to in-
quisitive minds WTiy there is so little of
an unfavorable nature that finds Its way
mto the newspapers. It may perhaps
make others ask themselves It they like
being buncoed snd being kept in the
dark by executive methods which sug-
gest the German kaiser or the Russian
ciar.
His Real Character.
"Why Is It" persons who know all
these side light frequently ask me "that
your Western people are so crazy about
Rosevelt?" "For the same reason" Is
the"tnswr "that you sitting In the rear
ot the theater think the aged chorus glri
Is pretty. You are so far away you don't
see the makeup."
The illustration might be carried fur-
ther for If ever there was a puhllo
character strutting gloriously in the
limelight swashbuckling and ranting
who wa more of a counterfeit when
the tinsel was stripped off history might
be sought in vain for the example.
If the West is "craxy about Roose-
velt." it will only be for a time be-
cause fakirs are sure to be found out
in the long run. If Western people are
being Imposed upon now. It Is because
they have not had the opportunity to see
the masquerader at close range for they
are more generally Intelligent and have
truer perceptions than the people of the
East. But for one who loves the West
and Its people It Is humiliating to see
them taken In ever for a day by the
theatrical pretension of a vote-mongr-Ing
demagogue.
SLAYDEN AT HOME.
He Says that Colorado Is Safely
Democratic
(From th San Anisnio. Express.)
Hon. James L. Slayden returned Sat-
urday from a trip to St. Louis Wash-
ington and New kork. When akj
about tho pontic! situation he said:
"I have not had opportunity to per-
sonally Investigate the political situation
in any other iale than New York .in
New York city X made a few campaign
speeches waa In frequent conference
with the active political worker ot th
party at National headquarter and
casually with merchants bankers pro-
fessional men and others whom 1 met on
divers occasions. I tried to form" correct
conclusions and I came away from the
State with the Impression that it is a
cmch for Parker.
"By the way. I had a long and very
pleasant Interview with Judge Parker
and was not only charmed with his per-
sonality and his broad-minded states-
manship but soon became convinced that
be was by odds the ablest politician I
ever met.
"He Is a big broad-shouldered sprightly
individual who Is nut a rainbow chaser
and'who I fancy never lets himself get
luto the slough of despond."
Conditions-un Colorado.
"Were you not in Colorado while you
were away?" Mr. Slayden was asked.
"Yes." he said. "1 went there with the
Interparliamentary union which held Its
fourteenth annual conference in St.
IiouIb the memoers being here as guests
of the government. We had a very
pleasant trip to the Rocky Mountains
Mnu wie foreigners areuied to be greatly
Impressed with American distances as
well as the majesty of tnat great moun-
tain range.
"1 only had a limited opportunity to
study the political situation In Colorado
but I am convinced that the democrats
wilt carry the State. The extraordinary
and altogether unarnerlcan scheme of
deportation which was practiced at Crip-
ple Creek has aroused strong antago-
nisms and somewhat befogs the situa-
tion. The deportation of striking miners
was made on the order of the present
governor who is a candidate for re-election
and he and his party are committed
to n defense of the methods followed at
cripple Creek.
"The democratic party on the other
hand. Is as you might expect on the
side of orderly procedure and constitu-
tional methods.
No Right to Deport.
"I asked Air. Brooks who Is a republi-
can candidate for congressman at largo
what right Governor Peubody and his of-
ficers had to deport the striking miners
He Irankly admitted that they had none
whatever.
"Former Senator Ed Wolcott Is a can-
didate for the United Stales senate aa
the head of one of the factions of th
republican party. His brother. Henry
Wolcott. banker and capitalist and a
life-long republican has announced him-
self as a supporter of Judge Parker for
the presidency and said to a friend of
mint in New York that the electoral vote
of Colorado was certain to be cast for
the democratic candidate.
"Henry Wolcott's defection seems to
have excited ttie anger of the antl-Wol-cott
faction and to have measurably
helped along democratic prospects in Col-
orado. "In Washington which as you know
Is no great distance from West Virginia'
I was told that J)av!s candidacy had
tnken the state out of tm doubtful col-
umn and put It over on the Parker side

Sour Lake Primary Election Re-
sults "Contested.
(Houston Post Special.)
Sour Lake Texaa October I Th
primary election held In Hardin. coun-
ty In July laati and the methods al-
leged to hav been adopted In tit order-
ing nd managment of It have been a
source of constantly growing dissatlstao-
Hon. Legal advice has been sought at
different times and prevailing; opinion
seems to be that the matter complained
of are not such as may be property liti-
gated before thsr courta. on th contrary
It has been suggested that th cas I
one of politic and not ot law and that
the remedy. If any lies with th demo-
cratic State exeoutlve commute and not
with the courta A petition or statement
has occasionally ben prepared for sub-
mission to thl tribunal setting forth th
grievances complained of. Th position
is taken that th primary held In July wast
not a democratic primary but a wide
open affair in which persons of all col-
ors creeds and shsdes of political opinion
participated; that It was not called as a
democrailc primary by th county ctlalr-
man. and that It was neither held nor
managed as a dmooratto primary; tnat
no tet of party faith wa required la the
call none on th ballets voted and nons
by the managers of ths election. It I fur-
ther allesed that wnsultalile person were
appointed as Judge qt the election In
several preclnoU arid that protest
against those appointed were unavailing
though made both before and after th
appointments On or more well known
republicans figured In the list of Judges
according to the allegations made.
It Is further shown that existing coun-
ty officials were candidates for re-eleo-tion
with perhaps sn exception or so; and
that when opposing candidates considered
the matter over they quit thair canvase
with one or two exceptions. This gav
present Incumbent a walk-Over and ths
two opposing candidate who remained in
the race were defeatew. Th statement
shows that friends of candidates who re-
fused to submit their names to primary
staid away in large numbers and that
in several preclnots no eleotlons wer
held at all. There ar otner rotmst alle-
gations showing a disregard of the re-
quirements of the Terrell election law
and departures from democratic customs
usages and traditions of such a nature
as to deprive the democratic citizenship
of the county of Its right within tho
party.
It is proposed to mramlt to tne execu-
tive committee the statement alluded to
supported by affidavit and other docu-
ments. Only two questions seem to be
presented: the first being. "Was It a
democratic primary?" and second "If It
was not a democratic primary then will
It iii.nriie an official ballot as pre-
scribed by the Terrell election law ox-
cludlng all names except those who claim
to be the nominee of such primary?"
The movement seems to contemplate ro
contest of the result of th primary held
In Julv but to attack th validity of the
primary Itself on the ground that it
waa not a democratic proceeding.
- AT TRINITY CHURCH
The Bishop of Canterbury Filled
the Pulpit.
(Associated Press Report.)
New York. October 1 Trinity church
Mi In historical associations and one
of the landmarks of New York had an
event of Interest to add to its chronicles
today when his grace the archbishop of
Canterbury ar.d th highest dignitary In
the church of Great Britain preached
within Its walls. The edifice In conse-
quence was Jammed a crowd having
gathered before It In the chilly nlr long
before the gates were opened. Thousands
were turned away. It Is estimated that
3600 persons heard th English ecclesias-
tic's sermon though the1 normal capacity
of the church Is but 1600. The sermon
was part of the morning service. After
tho rendering of the Olorla In Kxcelsls
Colonel I.. M. Jay on behalf of the ves-
try of the church greeted the archbtshop
In an extended address. His grace re-
sponding said:
"Thankful shall I be If the visit which
I am paying to your country may In the
providence of God contribute something
toward cementing yet closer the link
which bind us as two great peoples and
still more to deepening and setting for-
ward the holy communion and fellowship
which unite us In th fellowship and serv-
ices of our Lord and Savior Jesus
Christ"
The archbishop' sermon was taken
from Bt. Luke xlx M: "Th Son of Man
is come to seek and to save that which
Is lost." The archbishop said:
"In no surroundings which I have
knnwn In no city I have ever seen In any
of the world's continents have life's ac-
tivities seemed to whirr and buss so rest-
lessly as here. The output or numsn en-
ergy Is at the full. The man who comes
hither from quieter older perhaps sleep-
ier regions is apt to be a little bewild-
ered a little dased even while he wond-
er and admires and then this tnougnt

HUNDRED . DAYS
Of Racing: Claimed by Crescent
City Club
RECOGNIZE NO OPPOSITION
Lowest Purse Offered at Meeting
Is to Be Four Hundred Dol-
lars Many Stakes.
The Crescent City Jockey club ha
finally spoken officially and in no uncer-
tain tone on th ubleet Jf .racing dats
although It ha made no reference to any
possible rival In th New Orleans racing
field. Th utterance via question comes
through the little book which announces
the first Issue of stakes for the coming
winter' meeting this meeting being an-
nounced to open November 34 and con-
tinue for 100. raring days. This fnuch
of the club's announcement which Is
printed on the cover of the stakobook
would seem sufficiently specific upon the
subject of dales but the position ot the
Crescent City Jockey club on the sub-
ject ot racing dates is found to be if pos-
sible still further accentuated In the body
of the little book as soma stake race of
more or less importance la announced
for every Saturday from November 26 to
March 4 and at that no special date has
been fixed for thblg rac of the meet-
ing the Crescent City derby which I
simply announced for March.
It ha been a matter of common report
that President Bush had asked for his
racing date of 1906 or a much of them
aa would cover the meeting of W04-ia(.
and that the Western Jockey club had
turned down the proposition but if this
be true. It would seem extraordinary that
hs should make his announcements for
the meeting aa though the required date
had already been awarded to him. In-
deed It appaars unllkery that Mr. Bush
should have taken such a bold stand on
the subject of dates without being abso-
lutely sure of tha ground upon which he
was treading.
Apart from Its sbsolutely unequivocal
utterance on the question of dates this
Initial announcement of the Crescent City
Jockey club regarding th meeting of
1904-1805 Is an unusually interesting one.
The first Issue of stake announcements
Indicates liberality on the part ot the
club that 1 unprecedented for not only
Is the list of stake a rich one but it I
accompanied by the assurance that there
will be no purse of less than t4d0 offered
while there wilt be handicap and specials
In the overnight event having from $
to $1000 added. Such inducements should
be sufficient to bring South a better class
of horses than ever.
New Orleans Jockey Club's Prog-
ress and Plans. -
The officers ot the New Orleans Jockey
club are pushing along the work on the
new race course and expect to have th
plant complete and ready to accommo-
date about 000 horses say th New Or-
leans Picayune. The track Itself Is three-
fourths completed surface coating of
river sand and all. "Fifteen (tablet hav
also been built with thirty-four stalls
In each stable and there will bo two
more ot this particular style ot build-
logs in the village and another big stable
with sixty stalls running along the prop-
erty line of the additional ten-acre strip
the club recently purchased. The pur-
chase of this strip of land increases the
holdings of the club to 110 acres ot land.
The system of dralnsge has been about
finished. Tha track has been raised to
a grade two feet above the surrounding
property and It Is claimed that this land
Is two feet higher than the old fair
grounds.
Th foundation of the grand stand Is
about half finished and will be com-
pleted next Saturday. Arrangements hav
been made to siart tho steel work on
October I'i and Contractor Barnes claims
that It will take only a week to con-
nect up all the steel work for It will
be sent down from th plant In shape to
be bolted together.
Manager Bruwn stated yesterday that
he had assurances from Contractor
Barnes that the carpenter work would
not take moro than three weeks at the
longest after the steel work had bean
erected. The plant will positively be fin-
ished long before January 1 when the
Jockey club will be In the racing game.
He did not care for the other announce-
ments. He was not in a position lo
State positively that the New Orleans
Jookey club will race after the begin-
ning of the year. Mr. Brown added that
the fact that the other race course ad-
vertises ninety days of racing does not
tell anything. That Is what they hop
to do but the Western Jockey dub will
meet In Chicago on December 6 and award
dates for the year 1H06. The dates held
by th Crescent City Jockey club run
only until December 31 of this year and
they will have to make application at
this meeting for the remainder of their
ninety-nroe days before they will be
awarded. At that same meeting the New
Orleans Jockey club will get busy and
they have every assurance that they will
get what they ask for. This fact waa
assured before tin track was started.
Manager Brown added that the West-
ern Jockey club Is not looking for a turf
war and the friends of the new enter-
prise will be In a position to get about
all they aro asking for which is only
an even division when the Western
Jockey club holds Its meeting.
He would promise thnt tho nice track
proper fit the new ground will bo ono
of the best constructed race courses In
the 1'nlted States for wet wenther It
would also be very fast and an easy track
on the horses In all kinds of weather.

publication. Judge who Is ono of the
Eastern men interested 111 tho New Or-
leans Jockey club some days sgo tele-
