Bkra with his presence, and. although he had
originally contemplated talking only briefly,
pleased his audience of Interested towri^eople
and dwellers in the nearby countryside by mak
ing an address of some length.
The President in hie speech touched upon a
tcpic near to the hearts of those -whom he was
addressing, and followed up his recent writings
on the same subject by eulogizing the farmer's
wife and advocating the uplifting of the farmer
and his family.
Tin. President also spoke along more general
lines of social and economic "problems. In a strik
ing utterance declaring himself willing to take
any necessary step in carrying out the desires
of the people for the stoppage of practices that
were Imperilling the national wellbeing.
This little village was thoroughly alive to the
importance of the occasion. Besides the Presi
dent. Secretary Root came over from his home
in Clinton, and Congressman James S. Sher
man. Republican Vice-Presidential candidate,
arrived from T.tica for the ceremony. Fine
weather crowned the day. and the assemblage
of more than a thousand persons, who crowded
about tfr front of the pretty little library build
in P !rt*jfc(o commemorate thefr former neigh

tb« Prei^ient and the other guests, among whom
were Mrs. Roosevelt and two of the children of
the family. - Miss Ethel and Kermit, who had
made th* trip here from Oyster Bay with the
President.
The library is a pretty building, 50x100 feet,

Douglas Robinson. Corlnne Roosevelt Robinson.
Harriet D. Wolryche Whitmore."
Th«? inside is finished In Georgia pine, with
bookcases on each side, and at the further end

also as a clubroom. A kitchen is provided at

There are 1.600 volumes of books at present In
the library.
The exercises opening the library were held
out of doors, owing to the small size of the
auditorium. They were opened with prayer,
following which Supreme Court Judge Irving R.
Deven€:x£ of Herkimer. acting as chairman, in
troduced Douglas Robinson, who explained why
his sister, his wife and himself were prompted
to give the library to the people. He then
turned the deed over to Charles W. Crim. presi
de of the board at trustees of the library.
PRESIDENT'S ADDRESS.
President Roosevelt was then asked to speak.
After greeting the gathering as neighbors and
roing at some length into the history of the
family that was making (be gift of the library
to the town, th« President said in part:
The value of a gift depends absolutely upon
what you mm** at it. You have got to use it
right I v That is all that any human being can
do for an y one else to give them a chance, and it
rests with himself or herself to take advantage
of it.
Just then the President espied a man waring
a Grand Army' button, and }K>intinsr at him he
mil: .

ar.J your comrades into the fight, but you know
also that you ad to do th^flglmng. A " have

because the Idea represents . part of what I
regard as being the most Important of the sucial
movements of the century now opening, so far
as our country is concerned. We have a right
to be proud of the great progress our country
Is making in the way of population, »>ateria!

think that the great cities have cone ahead so

inaividual who goes to the city because he can
find no attraction in the country, but I am
doubtful if the fault lies -with him so much as
■with the fact that there is too much loneliness
and isolation and a failure to take advantage of
much that could be used with the expenditure of
little energy. I have done what I could to de
velop free rural mail delivery. I want to see it
developed still further, tho same as the tele
phone and the bicycle have been developed.
This is a first clasp country hereabout, but
rather hard. I admit, for bicycling. Too much
of it stands on end. I welcome the development
<>f every agency that tends to increase the at
tractiveness of country life arrd develop the so
<ial side of it. I believe that more buildings
like this could be used to advantage, not only
because of the books, but because it can be used
as a paacc for social meeting, and, while you
boys und pirls can meet here for social im
provetneni. it will be a place. I hop«, where
mothers will meet also. • If I have gnt to choose
any whom I would put ahead of the Grand
Army men, even. It would be the mothers.
MUST XOT SHIRK WORK.
Th€» Pre-sident switched abruptly to telling
about tbe mv who does not shirk his work.
saying :
I never preach the doctrine of shirking, and I
never put play ahead of work. The happiest
1 persons are those who do well the work befor**
j them. Ido not envy the idler, neither tho Idle
! 5-on of a multi-millionaire nor the "hobo." I
! have for both intense pity, of the kind that is
not akin to love but to contempt. The hardest
■rked Individual on the farm is likely to be the
(mother or wife of the farmer. If you don't ap
plaud that, you ought to. I believe in the
, farmer economizing, but on himself, not his
wife. lam dead right on that. If you have
got to drop some one. drop one hired man rather
than the hired girl. 1 want to see buildings like
this one used for mothers" meetings. It gives
the women a chance to meet each other socially
and it puts them in better trim for work.
i All of up know that certain type of the best
[ room in the farmhouse, the one that is kept so
carefully that you could not hire the husband
or the servant to gx> into It. Isn't that true
Cleanliness Is next to godliness, but remember
it is next to it. not ahead of it. Teach your
boy to work, for he has got to earn his own
livelihood, to pull his own weight. No one can
pull It for him. He will be a drone and a drag
if you do not let him do his own part.
My ideal of a boy is one who will grow up
and be able to support himself and a wife and
children. To be fit to be an American citizen
he has got to preserve his pelf- respect and con
duct himself so as to wrong no one else. Now
and then you will hear the wise father or one
who thinks he is wise dwell upon the fact that
his boy is smart. If he means to be able, quick
and to be trusted, then all right, but if by
smartness is meant, as is too often the case, the
kind of adroitness that Hhesrs off into trickery
or the kind of ability that is Just off the line of
honesty, then you should teach him that he is
gTowing- up to b*- an enemy of the Republic.
Trickery is trickery if it takes the form of
doing a man out of his day's work or cheating
In a grocery store, or swindling on a great .^-'ale.
by stock gambling or the manipulation of rail
way securities.
I'm with you to the limit in trying to put a
stop to the rascality of tlu- big man. I'll go to
any length to do it. and the big man knows It.
but th^re never will be an «nd until the bit:
man is made to know that what you object to
Is rascality itself and not rascality in a big man
alone. Rascality tn the great and the small is
to be frov.ned upon in this Republic. Distrust
equally the man who never sees dishonesty In
the big man and the one who sees it only in the
big man.
Fathers need the most preaching, yet fre
quently the mothers, who have hard livs to live,
take the unwise course in attempting to benefit
th*>ir daughters and sons by bringing them up
frep from hard knocks. Next to hardnr-ss of
heart the I^ast desirable quality is softness
of heart, and the mother or father should not
try to bring up their children in that way You
don't get the right stuff out of those children
for the next war or you don't get decent citi
zens when there isn't any war. Bring them up
to work, so that th^-y shall recognize that an
obstacle is not something to be shirked, but to
be overcome
If there Is one thing thp farmer has the ad
vantage jot it is in the matter of fresh air. If
you have your bedroom too stuffy you then get
rid of that advantage. If your rooms are her
metically sealed and then if any air gets in and
you catch ooid. you are no better off than If
you wore a dweller in a tenement. Such home
ly problems as these I cannot discuss, but I can
FUgpr p st them to you for your discussion.
Secretary Root afterward made a brief speech,
and wa* followed by James S. Sherman, -who
also ppoke briefly.
Many of those present then went to the Hen
derson House, where a reception was held for
the President and Mrs. Roosevelt.
The President and his party, after dinner at
Mr. Robinson's, drove to Richfield Springs and
boarded their special train, which started at
10 p. m. for Hoboken. The train will go over
the Larkawanna Railroad by way of Bingham
ton and Scranton to Hoboken. where the Precd
der.fs yacht, the Sylph, will be boarded shortly
before 8 o'clock to-morrov.- morning for the trip
to Oyster Bay.
IX FABRAGIJT'S MEMORY.
Tablet Dedicated in House Where
lie Died, at Portsmouth, N. 11.
Portsmouth. K. H.. Aug. Some three thousand
shipmates, relative*, friends and admirers of Ad
miral David Glasgow Farrag-ut paid a tribute to
the memory of the hero of many battles of the sea
late this afternoon when they participated in th«
dedication of a memorial' tablet in the Portsmouth
Navy Yard.
The commandant's house at the navy yard, where
the famous fighter died, was the scene of the «-x
ercises, and Admiral George Dewt-y, who served
with Farragut, lifted the revering from the tab
let. The exercises were simple. The chaplain of
the yard, the Rev. Frank Thompson, offered prayer,
and then Admiral Dew ey stepped to the front and.
after a few extemporaneous words, unveils the
tablet.
The memorial bears this inscription:

TONY PASTOR DEAD
Veteran Theatrical Manager Ex

Elmhurst. Long Island. Aug. 26.-Antonio (Tony)
Pastor, the veteran theatrical manager, died at
his home here at 10:05 o'clock tonight, after an
lllneps of several week*. The members of his
Immediate family at hi? bedside.
Mr. Pastor'? death had been momentarily ex
pected for hours before It came. He wa? v»ry
weak all day, and in th» afternoon it wns seen
TONY PASTOR.
Who dlea yesterday.

by the relatives and the physicians that the end
could not be long delayed. Everything possible
was done and had been done for the dying man,
but toward evening it was evident that all human
aid In prolonsing life was to be unavailing. He
went to sleep at 5 o'clock and never awakened.
Ills wife, her cousin. Mrs. James Stack, of Bos
ton; Mrs. Stack's son. Hugh, and Dr. G. D. Far
well and 11. S. Sanderson, who was Mr. Pastor's
manager for thirty-seven years, were present.
Mr. Pastor was In bad health nearly all sum
mer, and was taken seriously ill on August 14.
when it looked as though he might not live a day.
He rallied, however, about noon, and after an
other twenty-four hours grew rapidly better. He
was very weak, however, and during the latter
part of last week he bexan to lose all the. ground
he had pained.
During. Mr. Pastors illness letter?, telegrams and
cards poured In at Kerry Cottage, his Elmhum
\ome. from all parts of the country, and recently
Jiessaijres arrived from Europe. The arrangements
for the funeral have not been made.
Mr. Sanderson denied that Mr. Pastor's illness
was due In any way to financial worry.
Those who knew Tony Pastor will not readily be
lieve the rumors current that his death was
brought about by worriment over financial affairs.
He was known to be worth at least $250,000. He
was always thrifty ana In recent years kept a firm
hold on his savings.
It is true, he refused to make, improvements on
the old 14th street playhouse, although hi" friends
ventured to point out the necessity of doing so.
Several months ngo. when hi? lease on that theatre
was near the end. hie friends got around him
again and advised him to take advantage of the
opportunity to get a longer lease and make the
needed improvement*, but he stuck to the old ar
gument that the public liked his house in its pres
ent form. He would not take a long lease on th«
property and another firm stepped In.
Mr. Pastor's career has been frequently alluded
to in "The Tribune," and on the occasion of his
forty-third anniversary as manager, which hap
pened on March 11. last. William Winter compiled
the following record of his long service to the stage
and the nubile •»
The career of Tony Pastor ha* been long, active,
and strangely diversified. When only six years old
he was singing duets with Christian B. Woodruff.
In attar life State Senator, at meetings of the
Hand to Hand Temperana Society. His father, a
musician, disapproved of his apparent Inclination
to become a public performer, and therefore sent
him into the country, to dwell with a friend of his
who was a farmer. There the lad turned the
haystack into a stage &nd allured the farm la
borers from their work, so that It became neces
sary to Bend him borne.
Hi? Inclination tor the ?ta«e proved irrepressible.
He was permitted to make his professional ap
pearance as "an Infant prodigy." and as such he.
oain« out at Batman's Museum, where his good
vocalism made a distinctly favorable Impression.
In April, 1844, when eight years old <h« was born
in 1*36). he joined Raymond * Warmg 1 * Menagerie.
appearing with a black face and playing the tam
bourine In a minstrel band. A little later he served
as an apprentice to John J. Nathan and was
trained for the Circus. In the autumn of IS4T he
appeared at Welch.'* National Amphitheatre. Phila
delphia, playing juvenile parts, tumblers, etc.. In
the afterpieces that were then used In the circus.
In the summer of IR4S he Joined the travelling cir
cus of Welsh, Polavnn & Nathan, and. as no per
formances were given by it at night, lie composed
a concert company and performed in sehoolhouses
—till his enterprise was suppressed by his dis
pleased managers.
He went then to the old Federal Street Theatre.
Boston, where he. remained for some time. TnV
death of a Ring Master opened the way for him
to be. installed In that' office. In 1861. He also had
to sing, and he played the countryman In "Peter
Jenkins," and he danced in "Lucy. Long." In the
autumn of 1852 he was Ring Master at the Bowery
Amphitheatre. New York, and he. also acted there,
In plays. In the spring of 185:'. he joined Franconi's
Travelling Hippodrome, but In the w!nter of that
y«-ar he appeared In New York as Bones, in a
minstrel company. In 1864 he Joined Mable.'o Circus
as singing- clown, and a little: later he appeared
as clown In the pantomime at the Old Bowery
Theatre, where, later, George L. Fox began Ills
career, in which ultimately he became so widely
and highly distinguished as clown: it was- not
till Fox came to the theatre which had been I.a ira
Keene's that he made -his mark in "Humpty
Dumpty." — name selected by Clifton %\'. T;iy
leure for the Pantomime. In ISM Tony Pastor was
associated, as Ring Master and general performer,
with I>'vi North's Circus, and he went with North

Music Hall, New York, and from MB to 186 F. he was
established at No. 44-J Broadway -a resort that, be

the time being war time, lie aroused tremendous
enthusiasm by appearing on his stage with the
Flag of t!»! Republic in Ills hand and asking the
audience to join In pinging "The Star-Spangled
Banner." Thai was repeated! on many nights.
At about thai time. IbCT., Mr. Pastor determined
to devote himself to the vaudeville stage and to Im
prove it. Smoking and the sale of liquors had ul
waya been allowed In the variety music hulls, lie
determined to abolish these customs, and in asso
ciation with Sam Sbarpley hi? leased the Yokes
Garden, No. 201 Bowery, and turned i! into a neat,
handsome little theatre.- He hail already tried the
experiment of clean vauc'evilla at Paterson. N. J.,
ant! he f tit confident of success in attracting the
better elements of the community. Hlb plan'suc

and method then adopted.
In October, 1875, he opened his theatre at No. 385

CHORUS GIRLS IN POSTER RACE
Miss Emily Monte Wins Contest and Pos
sibly Husband — All on a Wager.
Kmlly Monte, a ■■horus girl in "The Mlmir- World
of 1908." at the Casino, won a bill-posting contest
jesterday at that theatre and possibly a hus
band. Miss Home's frlfnrls said last night that
she had remarked that she did not quite know"
which feat pleased lier most— capturing a yonng
husband or "pasting a three-sheet" to the satis
faction of the Bill Posters' Union.
"It's up to you. gentlemen." she exclaimed, as she
jumped Into an automobile with Robert McConnell.
The pair made for one of the ferries leading to
New Jersey, and at a late hour a message was
received at the Bh'.iberi offU-es that Miss Monte
vi.shed to be excused for one week. The genial man
who looks after th* news deparinn-nt of the Shu
bert enterprises sai.i he would recommend that not
U't<s than ten days be ghrsn to her for * honey
moon.
Jt al! came about when some bill poster made h
biinter that the Bhubertß didn't have a girl in their
employ who could paste a single sheet. Miss Monte
was pitted against Miss Hattle Lorraine, of the
Casino. Oean boards were set up In the lobby, and
th. girls went to work. Miss Monte posted a three
sh<-et In two and one-half minute*, and Mi*s Lor
raine was* only a few fwc< r.ds behind her. Mr. Mc-
Conne'! thought Miss Monte might be induced to
Join the Uill Posters' I'nlon, so he took her away
in his automobile.

CHILDREN ADOPTED
Many Vacations in Country Ex
tended at Requests of Hosts.
On the East Side above 4Sd street there are great
rows of tenement houses that extend almost I
the docks. A missionary in East 50th street has
been gathering parties for the Tribune Fresh Air
Fund this summer, nnd has accomplished great
things in relieving tl - as of poverty ex
isting among rm. .:.les in her district. Many
men have been nu- work since last winter, and
it is a great relief to the mothers when their cl
dren are sent to the country for the two *****
outing, with what it means in gifts of clothing and
freedom from just so many mouths to feea. Re
cently, when it was nearly time for a party to re
turn from Bradford, there came a request from
the town for permission to keep eight of the chil
dren for a protracted period.
The missionary wnt to see the mothers of the
eight. She found that their condition was ex
ceedingly desperate. They loved their children and
would Hke to have them return, but it would be
a return to hunger, to extreme want. They all
gave consent. Some of those who were entertain
ing the eight in Bradford said they would be
willing to keep the children indefinitely. They will
be permitted to do so.
The parents of seven of the children were willing
to ha\>- the far-away strangers adopt their little
ones, rather than continue the struggle to feed
and clothe them. The parents of the eighth could
not bring themselves to part with their child.
Their condition is one of want, but nil hope has
not given out; and that one child will rpmain in
Bradford for probably several months, but there
will be no adoption The missionary will Inform
the entertainers of the seven how the parents
feel about adoption, and the vacation homes may
be the abiding places of the fresh air children for
years. Ten children among the missionary's
numerous charges have been placed in homes in
this city this summer.
Many r-hildren sent to the country by the Fresh
Air F::nd have won the hearts of those in whose
homes the brief vacations were spent. Again and
again requests to have the vacations prolonged
have been received by the manager of the fund,
for the children of the tenements are Just children.
If they seem coarse. It Is only skin deep. Their
little natures are like photographic plates, taking
the impression of what they are erpr,s°d to day
by day. They love the country. Kindness from
all whom they meet stirs all the love that the child
nature contains. They are grateful. They never
forget the vacations. "She was so good!" is a
frequent compliment paid to some kind hostess.
The new world has a fascination that they can
not shake off. but they do not cease to love their
home folks.
The simple but nourishing fare provided for the
fresh air children is more of a treat to them than
a many-bourse banquet to a well fed recluse. In
one of the homes a boj- said to one of the workers:
"Wh«n papa was alive we had butter, but we
never have it now," adding quickly, "but we g»t
it up here"
In making "P a party recently two o? the boys,
brother*, did not receive their tickets because they
had not "cleaned up" as r«Qii!red. One of them
sent the following letter to Dr. Devlns, the fund
manager:
Dear sor: The doctor woden give us a ticket
ywaaday because we didn have our hair cut and
will you Please send us a tick»t this week. Mv
mother has to work very hard to cape ua since
my father died and there is six childreis. Ycur
re-spick.
Something will be done to have the hair cut so
that the boys may be made presentable. Parties
are going to homes daily, and the need of the work
Is •-• gr»at as ever, o^lng to the Increasing need
of the famines. The ways in which the fund work
is benefiting the children and parents in the tene
ments aro steadily lncr»a«!ns
