Executive Is Worn Out With Cares of State.
Washingtoti, Dec. 20.— President Roose- velt, accomi)anied by Mrs. Roosevelt and four of their children, Theodore. Jr., Ker- mlt, Archie and Ethel, left Washington at 12:0j p. m. today for Rapldin, Va., to pass Sunday wilii Joseph Wilmer and family. Not an inkling of the presldent"8 intentions had been i)ermitted to become public. Indeed, the trip was not determined upon until hiril night at such an hour as rendered It impossible to complete arrangements for it until today. No announcement of liie trip was m»^e •at the V\hlte House this morning. Tnis morning all callers upon either tiie pres- ident or Secretary C(»rtelyou were met with excuses for not being seen. 'J'ho president attended the funeral of Mrs. Grant and hurried directly from the cJiurch to the White House. He spent a lew minutes in the executive offices in conoultation with Secretary Cortdyou and then returned to the exicutive mansion. A few minutes later Secretary Hay called to dLscu.ss with the president some of the latest developments in the Venezu- elan situation. Through the private pas- sage way tlxe secretary v.eiit to tlie Wiilte House for a brief talk with the president before the lall'r left for the railroad station. President Roosevelt was 'accompanied to the Peiins> Ivania station by Secreturj- Cortdyou, but the latter did not go to Kapidan. The president and his family Were accompanied, however, hv Assis- tant Secretary Loeb. who will ' keep in close teligrai»hic touch with the \\ hit.- H«)use during the alisence of the party, it is the intention of the i.resident to letuni to Washington on Monday morning, his desire being to obtain absohite rest for a day or two. The strain upon him. both mentally and physU-ally since congress conven. d and during tlie crisis in Vene- zuelan affairs, has l>een very great and he felt the necessity for somi- relief from those cares. In addition tu those already mentioned, the only persons who accorri- pnnied the president were two secret ser- vice officials. 'J'he trip was made on a special train of two cars over the South- ern railroad. The only people about the train when it pulled out were four or five newspaper men and some of the white house attaches. As the train moved from the depot the president appeared on the rear platform of the last car and in re- sponse to greetings from the little coterie of friends, raised his hat in farewell, Joseph Wilmer and fiimily, with whom the pre.sident. Mrs. Rnosevdt and the children will spend Sunday, are

He had left his gla8s<'s upstairs and coidd not see to write a dispatch. The girl asked Mm what name should be signed to the message and he an- swered carelessly "Oh. sign il yourself, " and went to dinner. The lumberman's wifo received the fol- lowing message: "Send the carriage to g( t vour husband off the 10 oclock train." "CD-XRA BROWN."

BOUGHT OUT THE HOTEL.
English Tenderfoot Proved to Be Hot Sport. "Of all the easy tenderfeet who ever blew into a cow camp." said the old cat- tle man, "old A.vlesford was the easiest. He was a genuine sure-enough Earl, a real specimen of royalt.v, and he had money enough to sink Pierpont Morgans yacht, or buy all the grazing country from Rio Grande City to Billings, Mont., according to the New Orleans Times- Democrat. '"He was a bird, he was, a regular ring-tailed squealer, and when he landed in Big S{)rings with ills bunch of trunks, ins gun cases, dogs anj things, with a nieek-looklng sky pilot trailing on behind him. 1 sa.vs to Hank Maguire: "Here is where we get some -^ Hjd Knglisli money.' "Aylesford and the dominie went over to the Spread Eagle Hotel, and the smoke was that thick vou couM have cut it with a knife. Jack Uowles, Milt Turner and Doc White-sldes was playing a game of draw, and from the way the chips was rattling, and the cussin' goin" on. there must have been something hapi>ening.

The Englishman looked blank for a minute, and the preacher man began to edge up closer. Finally, the Englishman said: " 'Aw, where is the proprietor? " "Over there, plaving poker." says Jim. So the Englishman walked in to where Milt Turner and the rest was. W Hen thev set eves on iiirn they all went for thtir guns to take a shot at him. Init be- fore the shooting irons began talking everybody broke out In a big laugh. •• 'Which of vou gentlemen is the pro- prietor of this place'?' asked the English- man. " 'I have that honor, says 1 urner. try- ing to look serious. . , ^ , ,.

He h^d been a swell in Eondon. going to 1. eyes atid balls and parties a"'l things He was a top-notcher, and had been cut out of the bunch for a premium. Ho w'i« milling around there one lime, when he f.ui ' his wife had took up with a prince or somebody kin to a prince The iud^e savs U'ver a word, don t go tor his ieun. nor"mak.- any plays. Funny people, those English! if that had happene.l on the plains there would have been a fun- eral somewh.r-? the next morning. But it Is a good deal in the way a man or a steer is bred, and 'the judge' wasn't brung up to fight with a gun. So he leaves the woman to the prince and pulls out for the cow country. Whenever the onductor asked him where he was go- ing he said he was going till he got tired. That's how he got off at Big Springs. and that trip over the Texas and Pacllic In those days was enough to tire a saint. Anyhow he did his best to try and for- get that woman. He bought steers at
fancy i)riccs. aii'l gave them away. He bought lancy dogs in Europe, and gave them to cowboys. He iiaa a dozen or more ot tine guns brougiit over as pre- sents for his friends. That is the kind 01 a hairpin ho was. if you didn't seo wliat you wanted a^sk for It. "But that little preacher he brought along wltli him was a cuckoo. He had a siiack lie called a chapel, and he used to go there and preach to himself, and pray by himself for the judge's soul. The judge used to pay the preacher man haiid.some, and they tdl it out there that after the judge died the sky pilot went back to tile old oiuiitry aus is llyinjj on the lnl.>r- cst of his money. Howsoever, anybody could .see the judge was trying to forget some trail, and we helped him forget all we knew how. We was great on llie bev- erage in them days, and us.'d to forge, every four or live days. He wanted to run in the bunch, and in' did it. He used to keep that old hotel at i!lg S;jrings al- ways full, and nobod.y could pay a cent. Yi.ur bill was paid before you not there. "The first two or thre». weeks the judge was there we puts up fill kinds of jobs on him. like sellln;j the same bunch of steers twice. t sit.^ still like a steer with fever, and tells >ou to bring on another game, 'cause he's got lots more moiiej whi'h ain't never been sjient? Anyhow, it was just as easy to get the money without the brae.- game as witn it. Somehow or Forneliow els • all the boys fell in with the judge. He told us stories about i^ondoii and Europe which made us all want to enlist as <-omiTion .sailors on the next cattle ship gOing acro-^s. He smoked a pii>e— all Engii:=h- nien smoke a pipe— but he never could learn to cint li a saddK' like it ought to be done. H- tould kill a 'oir^ at a hun- - liked the jiuige. ami he used to say he got more for his money on the pl.iins ihan h«- hnti ever got hi Eondon. He f:dd there was much timi- wa;-led on t'.ie start in Efindon, and lots of tim"s a man could o:i|y spiak to his fri"nds on ih" street corner.

PIN6»P0NG EUCHRE. Popular Amusement That Was Started In Brooklyn* Ping-pong euchre, the latest fad In this line of anuihenunt. was introduced by W. K. rhillips of this liorougli. who hoMs the patent for Its invention says the Itrooklyn Kagle. The game of plng-pon^ euchre, which id new to many people, is Interesting and affords plenty of jimiise- inent. tne players going from on*: court to another instead of fnun table to table as in progressive eu«hre games. Uefore the game is comrn-n<'cd the four people svat- d at each table receive numbered cards, the odd numb.rs for the wom>-n an»l the even numbers for the men. Instead of going along a line of ten tables when progressing two players from u table chati-xe to another t.ilde In some other court, liut return to their own table when H game has been fiidshtd, as In military euchre. , ,, The courts are named America and Kng- llsh. KHch table In the American court displaNs the American flag and each table in the lOngilsh court the Knglish emblem. Hefore the game is started the four play- era at each table are partners, but a card bearing two numb.rs is put on the table and the two players with the numbers that are on the card go to some table In another court while the others remain at the table and defend the flag of their court against the two other players who <-ome from a table of another court. Ping-pong nets are attac bed to each table and the letters of the word ping-pong are used In rotation along the aisle with one letter of ping-pong on eaonents table to their own table, and If the i.artn.rs whom th.v left at the home court win their game, those four players will hav.- | two balls on th.-lr n.t. When th.- first game to th- ir own table and cards are again distribut.-.l and two players sro to an..fher talde. This is kept up until the prescribed number of games has bc.n plav.d. If t. n games are played and the four plav.-ra taking part as partners win all their games thev will have twenty balls on inelr net. This is the largest number obtainable In t.ii games. The tal- Iv cards ar.- punched for . ai-h pinner, but this does not count as much >'ji g'.iing a large number of balls on each net. THK PANTHKR ESCAPED. An attempt to photograph a youns panther has signally failed at Batig- noUes. writes the Paris correspondei.t of the l»ndon Telegraph. Pezon. the menagerie man and lion tamer, has hi."' show open in that district now. and among his animals la a splendid v.>ung panther. This its master re- solved to have photographed, and. at - (fiidingly. sat in one of the cages with the panther lying like a tomcat on hio lap The photographer was ondeavor- mg to fix Pezon. and was uttering the conventional words. '•Don't stir, please." when a terrlflo roar was herd. Brutus, the champion Hon of the men- agerie, had been watching the pro- ceedings from his cage. It Is supposed that he was Jealous of the attention paid to the panther, for he glared ferociously at that animal, which, quivering under the ordeal, bounded oft the knees of the tamer, bowled over the photographer, rushed out of the cage- the door being open— and dashed Inlc .the street. A policeman flung his baton at the wild beast, which s( amv-- ered on unmindful of anybody, and at last, seeing a tree, climbed Into it. The menagerie attendants, on reaching th^ tree.aoon and easily captured the fugi- tive. Several hunks of raw meat were placed round the tree, and the smell as- cended to the panther's nostrils. The animal was soon tearing away at the food, and when full to repletion was carried back to Pezon's show. The photographer wa.s nowhere to be found. He had thrown up the Job In despair, and disappeared from the dai«- gerous spot. EVERY DOKI.AR RAISED. Rochester. N. Y.. Dec. 20.— The Rev. E. T. Mills. corre»|x>ndlng secretary «>f the M.

Wa.'hington. Dec. :>0.— The develop- ments over night In the Venezuelan matter seem to justify the prediction made in these dispatches that the crit- ical point has been passed. President Hoosevelt does not wish to act as ar- bitrator In this dispute, for as such it is felt here, he would be at once judge. Jury and constable, and would be under the moral obligation to execute his own judgment. The president feels that a reference to The Hague tiibuiiul would vastly strengthen the cause of arbitration. Still, rather than sec the present dispute proceed to extremes, It is jirobable the president will reluct- antly assume the duties of arbltiator. It la fully realized that any dtclsioii rendered by hitn in that capacity would be sure to bring him the enmity of one or the other of the parties to the con- troversy, and this fact was pointed out to the president early In the week by a leading senator, who had been called Into consultation. Nevetheless, to prevent bloodshed and the destruc- tion of property and Interference with great commercial interests, that would result in loss. It is believed that the president woulil assume the charge, providing his own view cannot pre- vail. An Important fact developed today Ih that the punitive measure about to be instituted, and in fact now In force In some degree, will not be suspended by the allies until a definite agreement i.> reached as to arbitration. Venezuela, also, has been told through MinlstT Kowen that the president would wel- come a refer-'nce of the dispute to Th" Hague tribunal. While no direct reply has been received. It Is not douotcl that the reply would be favorable if tl.e other parties conceded to such ref- erence.

NEGROES
Are Said to Be Leading Ladrones of Manila. "Washington. Dec. 20. — Advices h.ive reached here from Manila to the ef- fect that the bands of Ladrones, which are harra.ssing the rural population of the islands, are In many Instances led by negroes, who have been discharged from the army and are employing their ii>llitary knowledge In drilling the Ladrones and organizing them in a crude military way. In the province of Uulucan It is understood that a band of 300 I.«idrones. led by an American negro, are scheming to wipe out the constabulary and that four miles out from the town of Caloocan four American blacks are engaged in drilling a large number of highway- men In mil'tary taitica and training them in the use of firearms. Pecause of the increasing ac'lvlty of the Ladrones, the continued with- drawal and concentration of troops In the islands is causing apprehension among the Inhabitants of many pro- vinces, who have depended wholly up- on the military for protei-tlon Ladrones are said to be notoriously bold and numerous in Uizal. and the jiresldent of that province recently callcl on Adjt. tJen.

RAISING COAL. Brooks ^ Cayo Taking Large Amount From the Bay. Coal Is being produced In Dululh from a somewhat unusual source. It is being taken up from the bottom of the bay about and underneath the coal docks on the harbor front. Hrooks & Cayo, who have temporary head- quarters at Lundberg & Stones on Su- perior street, have undei taken the re- claiming from the bay of a large amount of the coal that has been lost through the docks giving way through the rotting away of the piling or by fire. The company is now working with four shifts of men at the Northwestern coal dock No. 2. In this city, and at one Of the West Superior docks, and has already recovered atKtut 600 tons of coal, some of which has been under water for at least ten years. The cc»al Is uninjured an.l is suitable for fur- naces and ranges.

Superior St. NEW RUBINSTEIN STATUE. The Russian sculptor. Leopold Bern- stamm. who has lived and worked ail his life in Paris, and has made statues and busts of a great number of French and Russian celebrities, has just fin ished a fine life-sized marble statue of Antolne Rubinstein, to be placed In conservatory at St. Petersburg, says the Brooklyn Eagle. Bernstamm personally knew the great pianist: he had made a bust of him about twenty-five years ago, and hav- ing afterward repeatedly seen him, he was able to study the model, and the statue has therefore turned out to be one of the most striking ones of con- temporary celebrities, .so far as like- ness and demeanor are concerned. Rubinstein stands with head slightly bent downward, as was his mode when about to perform as one of his concerts. He has one hand resting on a music stand; his attitude is one of great ease; It Is the same as I saw him take many years ago, standing near the mantel piece of Madame Marchesl's class room, when he refused to give his autograph to the young women of the opera class, whom he had just heard

SOMALI CAMELS.
Some of Difficulties That Beset Hostile Travelers. The Somali camel, contrasted with the Indian camel, is very gentle, says the Brooklyn Eagle. They seldom in- jure anyone. In moving about the camp at night one has often to pass among them as they kneel in rows, sometimes stepping over them or stoop- ing under their outstretched necks, but I have never had experience of a vicious camel in Somaliland. Even when undergoing firing operations they rarely bite, although the head is left free. This accommodating disposition is attributable greatly to the nianne. in which they are treated by the native."--, who, though rather cruel to their ponie.9, never ill-use a camel. Many Somalis are utterly ignorant of loading, this work being done largely by the women. The camel is every- w'here In the land. He is the great means of transport and is given in payment for wives and in settlement of the incessant blood feuds which render peaceful village and town life almost unknown in the interior. As the troops make their way inland, curious native villages formed of little huts of bent sticks covered with camel mats, and protected all round witli u fence of cut thorn trees laid side by side, will at first be common sights, and the fresh camel milk obtainable at the.=e is very refreshing on the lon
