fc>BEPH>ENT ROOSEVELT REACHED GRO
TON YESTERDAY AFTERNOON.
JjTO CHANGE IV CONDITION OF THE SICK
EOT — THE PRESIDENT WILL REMAIN
UNTIL ASSURED OF HIS RECOVERY.
Groton, Mass.. Feb. 9.— Although President
Jlocsevelt on his arrival at the Groton School
this afternoon did not find his son. Theodore,
jr., alarmingly ill with pneumonia, still th* lad's
pondition was not sufficiently reassuring to war
—nt the President's Immediate return, to the
jiatlonaJ capital. His boy, with two school
jnatef, Horace B. Potter, of New-York, and
•WDliain Garnmell, of Providence, both having
pneumonia, lay in large, airy rooms on the sec
ond floor of tne college infirmary. Mrs. Roose
velt has been with her son for two days. He
greeted hi* father cheerily this afternoon.
To-nigM It was stated that his condition is
>icchanged, and that he is holding his own well,
Absolute quietness reigns, save for a northwest
gale, vhich fairly screams across the hill over
which the college school buildings are spread.
The school fcas Veen dismissed, and the 150 boys
have scattered to their homes upon an enforced
vacation.
AH the sick boys are having the best medical
attention and nursing and everything Is being
done to bring them back to health. The Presi
dent's etay her© is indefinite, although it is not
believed that it will be prolonged much after
"Wednesday, unless his son's condition takes a
turn for the worse. Pneumonia being always
alarming, the President has thought It well to
stay here until he has some assurance of his
bod's recovery-
THE PRESIDENT'S JOURNEY.
The President arrived here at 2:30 o'clock this
fcftemoon after an uneventful trip of fourteen
hours from Washington. He came on the pri
vate car Rambler, arriving in Jersey City soon
pfter 7 a. m. The car was immediately trans
ferred by boat across Harlem River and left
Mott Haven on a special train at 8:20 a. m. A
fctop was made at New-Haven, where a dispatch
was handed to the President, 6tating that his
•ion's condition was encouraging. No other stops
Were made until Providence was reached, where
■here was a slight delay on account of an acci-
Jder.t to the engine. The train pulled Into the
jßouth St&tlcn in Boston at 12:45 p. m., but war
Immediately hauled out from the station and
#\round the city through Cambridge to the Grand
Junction Station of the Boston and Maine Rail
road. The run from Boston to Aver Junction
«-«s made In a little over forty minutes, and
there the car wss transferred to the Worcester,
Nashua and Rochester division of this road, the
train arriving in Groton at 2:3<\
There were ro crowds at any of the stations
except at Ayer, where there was a gathering of
pbout five hundred. The President came out of
Jite seclusion and bowed to the crowd from the
t*ck platform, his appearance being greeted
••rttlj cheers.
The Rev. S. Endlcott Peabody. the principal of
the Groton School, was at the Groton station to
fneet the President, and with him was the Rev.
Billings, his assistant. The President,

Jnss 4rove the party rapidly up the hill to the
school building.
GREETED BY MRS. ROOSEVELT.
Mrs. Roosevelt was at the window as the
president drove past into the yard, and greeted
tiro as ha mounted the stairs. The two imme
diately went to the 6ick boy's room, and the
President was delighted to find that his son's
fcead ™ very clear, and that he was overjoyed
to see his father. The President did not re
jnain long, however, although he spent several
iours ln the office on the ground floor.
The President and Mrs. Roosevelt, together

A RECORD RUN TO BOSTON.
THE PRESIDENT'S CAR SHIFTED ACROSS
THE CITY— SCENES AT THE STATION'S.
Boston, Feb. 9.— President Roosevelt came
to Boston for the first time since assuming his
■office as tha head at the nation to-day, on his
"way to Groton. His visit was a momentary
one almost, for he did not leave his car, and,
In accordance with his own plan, through fa
miliarity with the situation here, was trans
ferred from one railroad system to another by
Means of a connecting link over the tracks of a
third railroad. This plan, which was the most
expeditious under the circumstances, set at
taught the arrangements of both the police to
look after his safety In crossing the city and of
the railroad officials who had prepared another
special train for his use en the last Plage of his
Journey.
The President's train over the New- York,
>>'CTr-Haven and Hartford Railroad pulled into
the South Station at 12:45 o'clock this afternoon,
tfter the Quick run of four hours and fifteen
Sautes, the fastest run ever made over the
■yatem from New- York, beating by two minutes
the record made by the train bearing Thomas
w. Lawson. two years ago. As soon as the
train stopped Secretary Cortelyou appeared on
<*• platform of the President's car and stated
to the railroad officials who met him that the
President desired that his car be shifted to the
j Boston and Albany road, and then sent over by
***• way of Cottage Farms and Bomerville to
*h« yards of the Fitchburg division of the Bos
ton ana Maine.
Secretary Cortelyou was informed that car-
J^ges were in waiting and that at the north
Nation the private train of President Lucius
Tuttle of the Boston and Maine road was in
**adiaes! to take him to Groton. Secretary Cor
t*lyou re-entered the car. returning in a few

[BT TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBfNE.I
Washington. Feb. o— lnformation wa* re
ceived here this evening that President Roose

day. It is said, and he is holding his own well.
President Roosevelt will remain In Groton for
some day?, no matter what course the disease
takes. No official bulletins were posted at the

AN APPALLING WEEKS RECORD.
TRF DEATH OF MRS. 08B0RX.
HER LIFE WAS ON'Q OP CONSTANT CARB AND
THOUGHT KOFI OTHERS.
To the Kdltor of The Tribune.
Sir: In the death of Mrs. Osborn on February 7
the> city ha? lost a representative of much that is
best In its life. It seems fitting that a more ex
tended sketch than the usual brief notices should
be published, and I venture to send the following:
She was the eldest child of Mr. and Mrs. Jona
than Sturses, and was born at her parents' early
home. In Beaver-st., on February 9, 1830. This was
then a neighborhood of pleasant private dwellings.
The growth of New-York Is Illustrated by the
changes of residence to Greenwlch-st. In 1833. to
Murray-st In 1544 and to No. 5 East Fourteenth-st.
in 1851, from which Mrs. Osborn was married In
1E53. In 1871 her husband and father bought adja
cent property at Park-aye. and Thirty-sixth-s<t.,
which has continued to he the city home of the
family.
Mr. Sturßes was a leader in that jrroup of New-
York merchants to whom both the city and coun
try owe much of their prosperity. He was also In
fluential in every movement that helped develop
th« moral and Intellectual life of the community.
From her father Mrs. Osborn inherited her singular
abilities for Judging and clearness of vision In
planning; from her mother she inherited her rare
capacity for eerv|-«. Amonr the institutions that
Mrs. Sturges was Influential in establishing and
directing were the Wilson Industrial School, the
School of Design .for 'Women, the Society of Decora
tive Art. the H.ihnemann Hospital and the Wom
an's Beard of Missions of the Reformed Church.
Of her (rlrlhona Mrs. Osborn retained bright rec
ollections. The great fire of 1833 and other Inci
dents of note she described vividly in after years.
Mr. Osborn was a prominent East India merchant,
closely associated with Mr. Sturges in financial In
terests. In 1853 he was chosen president of th*
Illinois Central Railroad. After their marriage for
several years Mr. and Mrs. Osborn made their
home In Chicago, from which city he pushed his
road over th« prairies of the State and southward
until, after the close of the Civil War, It extended
to New-Orleans. The part Mr. Osborn took in the
development .of the Mississippi Valley has never
been fully toM. Some day. he will be known as In
the foremost rank of the men who have made the
nation.
In the tremendous responsibilities he assumed,
and the constant strain under which he labored
Mr*. Osborn w«3 both the balance? and the main
Support of her husband Without her culm. wl*«
and sympathetic Interest In all that rr.nr.rned him
his life woUld have hroken under the stress For
Urn flret twenty years of his married life ho was
f.f.-htir.s a constant battle ae^inpt nature anl ad
ver.se men, and most of the rime received but faint
support from those on whose interest he had the
light to call. In Jowett's '■Recollections of Tenny
son" a statement is made of tlie poet's wife which
may with absolute truth be affirmed or Mrs. Os
born: "The greatest influence would be passed o\-^r
in silence if I were to omit her name. She was her
husband's best critic, and the one whose authority
he moat willingly recognized."
In the laree philanthropies and the Innumerable
objects of personal beneficence that Interested Mr.
Osborn, his wife Wai both an inspiration and a
pulde. Together they orpanlzed the Training:
School for Nurses connected with Bellevue Hospi
tal — the first of its kind in America — and were its
largest supporters Vntii the day of her denth this
school was her constant care. The Children's Ail
Society, thf Hospital for the. Ruptured and Crip
pled, th^ Half Orph.in Asylum and the city mis
sions were not only larßolv supported, but carefully
directed, by Mrs. Oshorn, either personally or
throußh hf-r sons.
The^e and other institutions were hut a part of
her interests. Nor were they limited to tho city.
Many In New-Orleans, Chicago and other places
have loet In her a constantly h'-lpful friend.
In lSr.9 Mr. Oshorn purchased an extensive tract
in the Highlands of the Hudson, opposite West
Point. There for the remaining years, except dur
ing the winter months, they made th^lr home
There aIM her surviving sons have their summer
homes. The estate has been gradually enlarged
and developed, until it is one of the most beautiful
in America. In the Highlands Mrs. Osborn WHS
the friend of a multitude, many of whom looked
to her for support. In Dr John Brown'i "Spare
Hours" there Is a sketch of a gentlewoman that
seem* written of Mrs. Osborn: "The love of the
r><-"ple for Ikt ami their pride in her were wonder
ful Those who were nearaat to her— the inrnat.-s
of her household, her dependents — cherished for her
something like adoration Bbc was so tender heart
ed, and interested in ail their Interests, so steadfast
a friend. So modest was she, so just in h<T sense
of bereelf, that every one was at ease with her, and
felt that whatever she did and said and f<-lt was
as real as the material objects about them. Sho
was always being and doing good In a multitude
of way.-."
Her life, may almost he said to have heen one
lons summer day, not without its clouds, hut. on
the whole, nappy, delightful and beneficent in no
ordinary decree. Few have left the world s.i rt>
garded with Immediate, unmixed and deserved af
f. . tlon, and fewer .silll have retained to the last, as
sh<> <iid the pure, fresh, unbluntod attachments of
childhood to their friends. T'ntil death bright.

"thoughtful breath" that becomes a "traveller b->
!w. . n life and death." She retained to the last all
her faculties and affection? -her memory her
humor her Interest In life, her tender fidelity to
friends, ber love of nature and all things fair.
The beauty, as well as the power, of Mrs. Os
horn's character was best seen in her home. There
she rilled in love, holding by an attachment that
Was uiKiucstioned the devotion of her husband and
children The loss of her only daughter several
vrars «po followed almost Immediately by the
death by drowning- of hrr second son, was ,i grlev-
OUS sorrow. The long illness of her husband was
no ordinary strain, and his death in 1594 left her
very lonely.
But through these and other trials she was sus
tained by an unfaltering faith. No description of
Mrs Osborn can be adequate that fails to note her
SDlritual niituro. As was said of another. "When
<-he nraved she saw the face of Ood smiling on
her" And so nfter a life of constant helpfulness,
of brave endurance and of large attainment In tho
bettering of the world, she has passed bryond our
vision "The Pilgrim they laid in a large upper
chamber whose windows opened toward the east,
and the name of the chamber was Peace."

OLD SCHOOL PROTECTIONIST ON OBLIGA
TION TO CUBA.
To th»- Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: I note the comments ln your editorial columns
an.l Washing-ton dispatches on the action of the
Ways and Means Committee in the matter of tax
reduction, as related to aid to Cuba by lower rates
on sugar and tobacco, and I approve them.
I am a protectionist of the Clay and Greeley
school and a Republican of I>s^ I was a member
of the convention that nominated Salmon P. Chase
for Governor of Ohio, ln l s ns, and I was also a
member of the convention that nominated Abraham
Lincoln for President ln the, Wigwam, at Chicago,
in IS6O, and I was a Whig protectionist before the
Republican party was formfd. and from this stand
point I speak.
The original theory of protection was to foster in
their Infancy such industries as were adapted to
our natural advantages and facilities. Then capital
was scarce and interest high. Now Infant in
dustries have become full grown and stalwart.
Capital is abundant and Interest low. 2 per cent
United States bonds commanding a premium of 8
per cent or 9 per cent.
Conditions have essentially changed, and theories
and policies must change with conditions, and we
must approach more nearly to a tariff for revenue.
discriminating ngainst luxuries and vices, and in
favor of the things we can successfully make or
produce, ami making free things of universal use
by our people which we cannot produce at all, or of
which we produce only a small percentage of our
consumption, such as tea and sugar, not forgetting
reciprocity.
President McKinley clearly forecast the trend
of events, and wisely sounded a note of warning in
his Buffalo address, and we protectionists must
take heed and ourselves modify ami reform our
tariff policies or our friends the enemies of all
protection will soon do it for us in a way to in
volve, trouble and disaster to the country. The
people will not much longer stand it to be taxed as
now for the benefit cf the few cane and beet
sugar producers of this country: such aid as it may
be lust and wise to give had better be by bounty,
with sugar free.
In the case of Cuba, the argument Is infinitely
stronßpr for free sugar, because there is added to
pecuniary Intel and expediency the highest ob
lipatlon of honor — yrs. of common honesty.
The strong, wise words of President Roosevelt on
this subject ln his annual message find a response
in every honest American heart, and woe to the
Congressmen who forget or Ignore them!
Only cowards are afraid to do right, but brave
men fear to do wrong. WIT. I. Ann WARNER.

THE CHAPELS OF TONOUES.
To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Your correspondent J. D. Burrell. of Brook
lyn, has blundered badly. In his strictures upon
the. Chapels of Tongues of the Cathedral of St.
John th« Divine he has shown himself equally In
capable of recognizing their purpose or their sub
ordinate relation to the cathedral Itself. They
have no aim. as expressing types of Christianity,
but rather types of nationality. They do not
stand for branches of the Christian Church, but
for varieties of Christian people who come to
New-York unacquainted with its language. For
them the Episcopal Church to-day provides In
New- York every Sunday services ln seven fit eight
different tongues. These services it is also pro
posed to provide at the cathedral, the chapels In
which they are held being so arranged as to open
into the cathedral itself, so that the foreigner may
find his way there as soon as he can understand
our spoken language
That Is all To read Into such a plan dis
paragement of Presbyterians or anybody else is
inde -a the act of a "mere" Presbyterian. That
great and noble Church, as represented by any and
every worshipper, is to find, with all other Chris
tian people Us welcome not in any subsidiary
chapel, but* in the treat choir and nave, where
snaee lid welcome will be equally wide and warm.

SEXDS MESSAGE InO MILES
WIRELESS TELEGRAPH RECORD BRO
KEN BY PHILADELPHIA-SHE HAS
A ROUGH VOYAGE.
The steamship Philadelphia, of the American
Line, which arrived here yesterday, broke on
her voyage the record for distance of communi
cation with the land by the Marconi wireless
telegraph system. On February 1 the vessel was
a few miles off the Lizard at 12:15 p. m. Mes
sages were then exchanged, and the telegraph
ing was continued till the following day. The
last message was sent when the Philadelphia
was one hundred and fifty miles from land. It
was from the American Line officials, in Eng
land, to Captain A. R. Mills.
The voyage was a rough one from the start.
There was a delay of eighteen hours at Cher
bourg, where the vessel arrived on Frebruary 1.
She was at first unable to receive passengers.
She put to sea, returning to Cherbourg Harbor
the next day, when passengers embarked. Cap
tain Mills said, of the voyage that he had never
before experienced such terrific weather. Waves
continually washed the decks of the ship and
the wind was bitter.
On account Of the strong ebb tide considerable
difficulty was experienced by the tugboat men
In docking the Philadelphia here. The big
steamship bumped into the sidewheeler Glen Isl
and, of the Starin Line, which was tied up at
her pier. A rail, eight or ten feet long, was
torn away on the Glen Island and some of the
other woodwork was splintered.
