Three-World Pow? ere Participate in the Exercises at the University of Pennsylvania, and President Roosevelt, the German Emperor and the British Ambassa dor Were Among Those Honored With the Doctorate of Laws. Philadelphia, Special-Commeration gf Washington's birthday by the University of Pennsylvania was made notable by the fact that represen tatives of three world powers partici pated in the exercises, as follows: The United States, represented by the Chief Executive of tb? nation, Presi dent Roosevelt; Germany, represented by Baron Von Speek Sternberg, am bassador to this country, who icted as the personal representative' Of 3mper or William, and Sir. Henry Mortimer. Durand, the British ambassador. The occasion was marked by one qf the r.cst enthusiastic demonstrations ever witnessed in the Academy of Music, where the exercises were held. Presi dent Roosevelt was the orator of the day, his theme being "Some Maxims of Washington." The degree of doctor of laws was conferred upon the President, the Ger man Emperor, the British ambassador, Rear Admiral Charles E. Clark, United States navy; United States Senator Philander C. Knox, and David T. Wat son; a distinguished lawyer of Pitts burg. Thomas Bailey Aldrich, the poet and author, received the degree of letters, and upon Robert Simpson Woodward, president of the Carnegie Institute, was conferred the degree of doctor of science. Baron Von Speck Sternberg received the degree for Em peror. William. When the president appeared on the stage the band played "Hail to the Chief," and the entire assemblage arose and cheered for nearly five min ute?. It was a splendid ovation and the" President smiled his appreciation, bowing hia acknowledgement at its conclusion. As each candidate was presented by Dr. S. Weir Mitchell for the degree, he was greeted by the students with lusty "hoorays" and eellege cries. During his address, the President was repeat edly cheered, and his reference to the navy, which he addressed directly to Admiral Clark, who sat on his left, aroused great enthusiasm. The Pres ident spoke in part as follows: THE PRESIDENT'S SPEECH. As a nation we have had our full share o? great men, but the two men of pre-eminent greatness who, as the centuries go on, will surely loom above all others, are Washington and Lin coln; and it is particularly fitting that their birthdays should be celebrated every year and the meaning of their lives brought home close to us. No other city in the country is so closely identified with Washington's .career as Philadelphia. He served here In 1775 in the Continental Congress. He was here as commander of the army lt the time of the battle of Brandy wine and Germantown; and it was near here that with that army he faced the desolate winter at Valley Forge, the hinter which marked the turning point of the Revolutionary war. Here he came again as president of the con vention which framed the constitution and then as President of the United States, and finally as lieutenant general of the army, after he had retired from the presidency One hundred and eight years ago just before he left the presidency, he issued his farewell address, and in it he laid down certain principles, which he believed- should guide the citizens of this republic for all time to come, his own words being, "which appear to me aL' -Important to the permanency of your felicity as a people." Washington, though in some ways an even greater man than Lincoln, d^gotJ have Lincoln's wonderful jffi 0j ex_ I j pression-gffTwhich makes cer M&gg&eches of the rail-splitter from fillnois read like the inspired utter ances of the great Hebrew seers and prophets. But he had all of Lincoln's sound common sense, far-sightedness, and devotion to a lofty ideal. Like Lincoln, he sought after them by thor oughly practical methods. These two greatest Americans can fairly be called the best among the great men of the world, and greatest among the good men of the world. Each showed in actual practice his capacity to secure under our system the priceless union af individual liberty with governmental strength. Each was as free from the pices of the tyrant as from the vices 3f the demagogue. To each the empty futility of the mere doctrinaire was as nilen as the baseness of the merely self-seeking politician. Each was in capable alike of the wickedness which seeks by force of arms to wrong others md of the no less criminal weakness which fails to provide effectively igainst being wronged "by others. Among Washington's maxims which ie bequeathed to his countrymen were Jie two following: "Observe good faith md justice toward ?ll nations," and 'To be prepared for war is the most sffective means to promote peace." These two principles taken together ihould form the basis Of our whole for eign policy. Neither is sufficient taken >y itself. It is not merely an idle Iream, but a most mischievous dream, o believe that mere refraining from wrongdoing will insure us against being vronged. Yet, on the other hand, a ?ation prepared for war is a menace to nankind unless the national purpose s to treat other nations with good aith and justice. FROM DR. HOHENZOLLERN. 'Dr. Charles C.

Because the liver is neglected people^ suffer with constipation, biliousness, headaches and fe js. ; Colds attack thc limes and contagious 'Vscases take hold of the system, lt ?3 safe to say tba-t if tho liver were always kept in proper working order, illness would be almost unknown. Thcdford's Black-Draught is so successful in curing such sickness because it is without a rival as a liver regulator. This great family medicine is net a strong and drastic drug, but a mila and healthful laxative that cures con stipation and may bc taken by a mere child without possible harm. The healthful action on the liver cures biliousness; It has an in vigorating effect on the kidneys. Because thc liver and kidneys do not work regularly, the poisonous acids along with "the waste from tho bowels get back into the blood and virulent contagion results.

Birmingham, Ala., Special.-AB a re luit of the most horrible mine disaster In the history of Alabama, 39 blacken 3d, bruised and twisted human bodies aave been recovered from the Virginia mines at a late hour and laid out for .dentification by heart-broken mothers, wives, sisters, and sweethearts. It is now statod positively that 160 men were in the mine at the time of the lust" explosion and not the slightest tiope is held out to sorrowing loved ?mes th?t ? toan of taem will live to tell of the horrible disaster, With the first ominous rumble of the toming catastrophe, by common im pulse, eVery One in the village rushed to the mouth of the main slope, fear struggling against hope for the safety Df loved ones. The sc?nes ?t th? mine? this afternoon were the in?st gruesomt and harrowing that have ever been witnessed in the mining section of Ala bama. Corpses were frightfully man gled and disfigured and identification ls almost Impossible. Many of the bodies are so bruised, twisted and dis .olored that negroes cannot be told from white men. All day long at the mouth of the mine were waiting and moaning women and children whose relatives were among tho unfortunates. One hundred families and 300 ohildren are left des titute and without means of support by the calamity. As the bodies of the vic tims, which in many cases have been gathered together a piece it ? time, are brought to the surface they are placed In rows on a rough Improvised plat form. Late Tuesday ambulances' began the removal of those so far recovered to Bessemer. Since the Hst of dead will probably go to 160, the local undertakers have wira? to adjoining cities for coffins, as it was found there were not enough suitable coffins in the district to bury the victims. Out of the 50 bodies re covered one was found about 4 o'clock this afternoon, which was barely alive. The body was carefully taken from the mine and heroic methods resorted to to bring the man to consciousness. He is still alive, but scant hope is held out for his recovery. President Flynn, of the Alabama United Mine Workers, said to the As sociated Press: "I shall be surprised if a single person escapes alive from that mine. Ventilation Is very difficult and if the men were not killed by the ex plosion they have certainly been suffo cated, by the gases. The bodies so far reached were in the main slope and it will be several dayB before we can get to the rooms which branch off from the main slope." President Flynn worked all Tues day night with a pick ?hd shovel at the mino and other mine officials were among the leaders in the rescue work. Conspicuous among these was W. R. Farley, member of the national execu tive board of the United Mine Workers from Alaska. To Prevent Pool Selling.
