nlrorooi Reader and Tells How He
Finds Time For His Miscellaneous
t , -
Reading- Hoosevelt Shows One of
' Ills Most Ireclos Art Treasures.
The following extracts are from the
travel diary of Toby,' M. P. (Mr. II.
W. Lucy, the famous British Journal
ist, who was lately ) in the United
States), as printed in the London
runch: . . '
President Roosevelt is the kind of
man who would make himself at home
anywhere,' whether in the backwoods
of the west, in the stately home the
United -States provides for its. presi
dents or anywhere in the wide . range
' that" lies between these extremes.
Healthy in mind and body, he is gifted
With the4 'cheery' nature whose price is
1 above rubies. : Ui,:'y;'yi..
. The president Is an omnivorous read
er. V At one turn of conversation he is
reminded of a passage in Homer, the
next ' he is expatiating on the" history
of Tittlebat Titmouse. Contemporane
ously withi the announcement of the re
bellion in Panama, dexterously exploit-
; ed 'byve' '"president" and his secretary of
;. sfyt$fl$W&it7i personality as popu-
'. lar-Lpndoii as'ln Washington, there
.was publish "in tbie States a new edi-
1 tion of , the -works qf Samuel Warren.
The time Seemed to the presidentpppor
tune for 1 renewing his - acquaintance
?vith the works of the author of "Ten
Thousand a Year," so while the oppo-,
; Bition papers fulminated denunciationof
hs Pnamaj policy he read of Tittlebat
Titmouse. , As "for1 Dickens, he knows
him so intimately that he would-have
been a dangerous competitor Iri the1 con
test initiated by Calverley in his fa
mous, examination paper, on "Pick
Trick.!. ;; -;"::;.0(
'How does the president, a man upon
1 Whose ) personal - labor : the sun never
sets, - find time for this . miscellaneous
reading ?; iWell, all over the world it is
the exceptionally busy man who has
spare ? moments for desirable ends.
President Roosevelt shares ,; a secret
possessed by Mr. Gladstone, whom in
his animated ' and varied conversation,
with its. wide "range and intimate ac-
tjuaintance with any topic started, he
Strongly resembles.- .
"All my life," Mr. Gladstone puce
' said to me, "I have. taken care of my ,
ten minutes, certain that the hours and
,the' '3ays . would take cai-e of them
selves." N ; y ' I ' , ; ' ''".';
AJ ministerial colleague who accom
panied the president on a recent" trip
westward told me of a 'habit that ex
plains everything.
... "We traveled, day after day,"-he said
,'the president addressing At successive
, "stations , crowds of country folks. It
,: was a pretty hard day's work for the
toughest-of rough- riders. . For myself,
' though I hadn't to make . speeches,' I
1 was thankful after the turmoil to turn
V Into my berth for a snooze or a rest.,
v-As soon as the train moved off . out
came the president's book, and he read
away till, the train pulling up at an
other crowded, station, a fresh speech
was demanded and delivered under , the
abiding sense of supreme ministerial
responsibility." (
" This practice the president observes
wherever he is in residence. V "I read
when I can," he says 'always, a bit
before 1. go to bed. Sometimes, ' tft pe
riods of great pressuie, I awake about
In the morning. If I lay there think--Eg
of things, I should be worried to
death,. unflt'for my work in the coming
: day. So I switch on tbe light, take up
my book, read a chapter or two, fall
asleep and wake up bright and early."
In his philosophical, cheery way the
president makes the best'of what say,
to the Duke of Devonshire would be
; n intolerable nuisance. -
"When, I was a young man," he said,
- fl lived mostly out of doors and en-,
ppyed' abundant exercise. Now I can't
get much. But you go and stand In
my place on. an autumn afternoon and
have your hand shaken by from 300 to
1,000 sturdy citizens and if when it's
over you don't feel as if you had been
felling a tree or two you are made" of
fc ardor prit than I." . ,
President Roosevelt has inherited, at
the White House many valuable en
graving's and paintings, the latter in
cluding portraits of some famous pred
ecessors 'in the chair.-
-Coe aTorur.. Tobv." he . said after
puncheon. ''Come up to my sTudyV and
I'll show you one of the most precious
of my art. treasures."
Hanging on the wall near his desk
was Bernard Partridge's original draw
ing which appeared in Punch shortly
after the vice president was suddenly
called to assume the presidency. , "The
Rough Rider" is its title, land it bears
the Inscription, "With. Mr. Punch's
compliments to President1 Roosevelt." , -'
, "I had- many complimentary mes
sages at the time," said the president,
"but I don't remember any that gave
me more pleasure thanthis greeting
from across the sea from! an old friend
I have known and studied "nearly all
my life." ;.;;. -... ,.y :; ' .
AN OPTIMIST OF EIGHTY
Rev. Robert Collyer Says the
World Is Growing Better.
THE WOEK OP WOMEN FEAISED.
Unitarian Minister on His Eiehtitli
Annl-versarr Declares Their Actlv
ltr Is One of the Great Indications
of Advance He Recalls Early Inci
dents of His Life and Gives a Recipe
For Longevity. .
. Like the ' famous Countess of Des
mond, whose case he gayly quoted, who
"lived to be 110 and. died from a fall
from a cherry tree then," the1 Rev. Rob
ert Collyer of .New York, who rounded
put his fourscore years the other day,
believes the mere passage of time does
not- make age, says the New York
World.r v ;
"I have never been sick a day in my
lif e," said Dr, Collyer, "and I have
never even eaten my breakfast in bed.
What is my recipe for longevity? Live
a natural life, eat. what you want and
walk on the sunny side of the street." '
To this the famous preacher has add
ed two instances of self denial, which
he holds largely responsible for his per
fect physical condition he did not even
smoke until he was forty and-did not
drink at all In youth, though he per
mits himself an. 'occasional glass of
wine how., '. " V ,
.; With evidences of love and remem
brance on every side, Dr. Collyer, whose,
iretirement from active duty in the
Church of the Messiah," of which he
will be pastor emeritus is coincident
with bis eightieth birthday; grew rem
iniscent. For twenty-four years he has
filled the pulpit, and for ten he has, had
th6 assistance of the Rev. Mlnot J.
Savage. ' . : '. -. ". ; r ,;, ! ;' ',
"My. birth," said Dr Collyer, with a
twinkle in his keen and kindly gray
eyes, "which took place in England on
Dec. 8, 1823, has always seemed to me
a sort of geographical V mistake, for
when I reached America I immediately
seemed to fit I have n,ever seen the
day I wanted to go back, except to vis
it,; of course; I - have crossed seyen
times .for that purpose. ;- v,''',"
':."My. grandfather, who. was a sailor
with Nelson, is the earliest ancestor we
ihave any f record of. Mother's father
was also a saiilor, named Thomas Nor
man, so I can claim Norman blood, you
.gee'' 'again -the twinkle. "He . was
drowned, and his children, my mother
among them, we re placed in an asylum
jin Norwich. When I was ar little lad I
jworked for seven "years In the factory
of our village, then at the forge. .
"Before I .became a Methodist preach
er oh, yes, I was a Methodist to be
gin with!" and he broke into broadest
Yorkshire dialect to quote the honest
countryman who had" helped him on by
"waking a spare rail" of him that isf
putting him dn here and there where
there was a pulpit to fill. :
Mr. Collyer told of his leaving the
;Methodist church and his,, call as &
Unitarian minister . to Philadelphia,
then to Chicago and lastly to New
York city in 1379. He told of the wide
experience of his eighty years, and
tL.'n the clergyman said:
: "Do I think, people are less interested
in religion? No; a thousand times no.
;They are thinking out the meaning of
religion as they never have before. I
have seen great changes. Yes; it is an
evolution. People do go to church to
day, and they go because they want to,
not because they are driven, as they
were formerly.
"Woman's activity is one of the great
I Indications . of advance. She is help-
J ling herself and man at the same time.
I .The church is to. be greatly helped
through her endeavors. Women ffill
preach too. They do now sometimes,
but they don't get outside of .them
selves enough for the most part. Mrs.
Livermore did, and she was a success
ful preacher. I have always believed
iln woman's rights. , Lucretia Mott was
a great friend of mine.
"I have no patience with the talk that
the world is growing .worse. I won't
discuss it. J It is getting" better aB the
time. .'God's in his heaven; all's right
with the;werld.' If it wasn't so It
(Would mean that God had given over
;the world to evil, and it would hardly
have been worth while for him to have
made it. . No; in every department of
life God's plaa is, being worked out,
and men and women are growing bet
ter."' x -
i The approach of Christmas carried
the distinguished clergyman back to
his boyhood when oatmeal . porridge
and skimmilk made the morning and
evening meal, and Saturday, night's
tub was a fearsome ceremony by rea
son 'of the quantities of ' yellow soap
that found their way -into youthful
eyes. Then the $4.75 a week, of the
paternal Collyer was , the 6ole income
of the family, 'and the holiday time
would have proved a slim affair ' for
the children but for the yule loaf and
pudding prepared, by the mojiier. As
he described the, singing of the carols
and the turning of . the yule log Mr.
Collyer wondered if in the Christmas
celebrated ' In the churches and "observ
ed with so much ceremony we had not
lost something of the genuine enjoy
tnent of the day spent in the home. ;
A breakfast coffee cake. made inthe
shapa oft"80" was one of the birthday
girts, i One cake came all the way from
England, and roses and Violets in pro
fusion greeted the fine old man on his
anniversary. ,
DANGERS OF THE BATH
Bathing Bad For the Body, De.
, clares . Chicago' Physician
MAKES THE SKIN A SEWEfc, HE SAYS
Dr. John Dili Robertson Claims Bath
ins; Produces Many Ills of Mankind.
He Takes One Dip Every Two Years
and Considers It EnouerhIVevr Tork
Physicians Amused Dr. Shrady's :
Story About a Scotchman.
.Dr. John Dill Robertson, secretary, of
the American School of Medicine and
Surgery, has declared that to bathe
once every two years is sufficient and
that bathing is responsible for the
many ills of mankind. He bathes once
every two years and considers that "he
keeps himself fwell cleansed.
Dr. Robertson presented . his . views
at the annual meeting of the Chicago
Eclectic; and i Surgical' society 'in Chi
cago the other night, and the members
of , the society, listened to them with
amused interest. ' V ' ;
"When. people leave off bathing there
will be little or nothing for the doctors
to do," said Dr. Robertson.' "Pneumo
nia, colds and a hundred other ills re
sult from the foolish habit of washing
the body, i
"To bathe Is to be ; dirty, for you
thereby , make a sewer of the skin
Blood, attracted by the skin, gives up
products that should be leU. to seek a
natural outlet and soils the skin."
Dr. Robertson asserted that? the the
ory . that the , closing of pores ' 'of the
skin would reoult iri death is false. He
said that all physiologies which, made
such an assertion were 1 wrong. The
habit of taking "dry" baths was also
denounced. The rubbing of" a rough
towel over the skin, according to Dr.
Robertson, removed the natural scales,
of the skin, or the "false skin." This,
he said, conduced .to the growth of
bacteria on the skin. :
Dr. Robertson concluded with a
touching incident of a poor Eskimo
brought from Greenland to Boston who
had never been ill in his life. 1 He re
ceived , a bath, contracted pneumonia
and died in two days,
Dr. John- Dill Robertson's. views on
bathing amused New York physicians
when they heard of his address. '
"It reminds me of a Scotchman I
knew," said .Dr. George F. Shrady,
"who never had but two baths in his
life. He fell into the Clyde when he
was a boy and was. nearly drowned and
the first day he was in New Ysk he
walked into the East river and had "to
be fished out. He lived to be ninety
years old. To his dying day he was so
afraid of water that -nothing could in
duce him to let it touch his skin. ,He
had some reason for being afraid' of
water. Perhaps our friend in Chicago
has some mysterious reason on his own
account which he has not thought it
worth while to disclose.
"So far as my friend the Scotchman
is concerned, I presume he would have
lived to be more than a hundred years
old if he had not had his strange preju
dice against water. This remarkable
outburst from Chicago is really too ab
surd to discuss seriously."
Pr. Simon Baruch, ah authority on
bydrotherapeutics, laughed heartily
when he was told of Dr. Robertson's
declaration. . - '

"THE EARL OF PAWTUCKET."
The consensus of newspaper opiiliou
regarding Kirke La Shelie s unmistait-a-uiy
eiupuatiL- success, "The Earl of
1'aw'tuekei," which win be seen at
Jt'oii's this evening, is that it Is a nat
ural, pleasing comedy. It i amusing,
it is. entertaining, ''and requires just
enough intellectual exercise to make it
enjoyttDle. Above all, it is clean;
leaves a pleasant taste in one's mouth.
It is one of those plays that cause one
a distinct feeling of regret when the
tune comes for one to feel under one's
seat for one's hat. Above all, the
characters . are well drawn; they ai?
real and honorable. They are not dolls,
nor are they woodeny participants of
a puppet show. There are no fatuous
beauties prattling frivolous feminini
ties. There is no Overdrawn comedy
or forced sentimentality. In fact,' the
entire atmosphere of this most excel
lent stage work has the true ring of
iiumorous exaltation; and while some
of the scenes and situations ' border
slightly upon-the farcical, there. Is not
a single instant during the action that
would grate upon the keenest sensibili
ties of the most ardent lovers of re-
r fined entertainment. It is very re
markable that August Thomas, the au
thor of "Arizona," "Alabama" and sevJ
erral other intensely absorbing dramas,
should have succeeded so admirably in
giving to the amusement world a com
edy delight of such sterling quality as
cannot fail to .he an enduring success.
Prices are 25, 50, 75 cents, $1 and
$1.50. ,
VAUDEVILLE AT THE JACQUElS.
Much interest attached to the appear
ance of Eva Mudge at the Jacques yes
terday for the reason that her act had
been heralded as a genuine American
noyelty that had another one now mak
ing a sensation in London beaten by
more than a hundred per cent. It was
said that Miss Mudge would make one
lightning change of costume from . the
character of a , Red Cross nurse to a
sailor in three "seconds, whereas Eng
land's famous change artist ; Roberto
uses tip seven ' seconds in his quickest
change. ' This Miss" Mudge h actually
did. . as was shown ly many watches
held on her. She . seemed in all - her
changes jto be hardly off the stage when
she was again completely transformed.
Other changes she made were from a
soldier to nurse in four seconds, sailor
to confederate officer in nine, and from
this to a soubrette. jeweled and gowned
in exquisite manner, in twelve ' sec
onds. , This latter change, while actual
ly longer in; the time consumed, was
really better done than the others be
cause of the greater change that had
to be made;, Miss Mudge sings, in
splendid voice ' a song to accompany
each character- she- portrays, the whole
making a wonderfully fascinating act
to watch. k There is a very pretty one

NOT ALLOWED TO TALK TO VISIT0ES

V "A very , finished : presentation 5 of
The Christian.' that isiwhat it -will
be," said a well known citizen and
lover of good theatricals last night af
ter witnessing one of the rehearfjals.
"I. was more than surprised at the per
formance and. if the members of the
cast do as well on the nights the play
is to be presented as .they did at re
hearsal the people of Waterbury will
be treated to a , professional , perf orm
o nee by amateurs." That is" : the
opinion of all who have witnessed' the
play, ' a lid it will be your opinion after
yoiij have seen one of the productions.
Everything is now in 'readiness for
the presentation. The scenery is all
painted, the costumes are here, and
by the way, the costumes of the ladles
alone rent for one hundred dollars.
The hats worn by the ladies will be
made .to. order by: 'thei A. F. . Cowles
millinery ;.; firm on Center street. Ev
ery costume, both' ma le and female,
have been fitted for the occasion.
There will be no point,fleft undone nor
no rough edge left to show; and as a
consequence the production wifl ' be
one worth traveling far to see. The
reserved seats are now on sale at the
box office.
SIR HENRY IRVING.
The coming engagement of Sir Henry
Irving on Friday evening at Poli's'will
unloubtedly signalize the most impor
tant theatrical event that Waterbury
has ever. had. As already published,
Mr Irving will "present the double bill
of "The Bells" and "Waterloo.? With
the former Mr Irving has been Identi
fied for , more than thirty years; in
deed, it was his ; first remarkable suc
cess. Those who were present at its
first production In the Lyceum theater,
London, on November, 25, 1871,, say, it
is bard : to give anyone, an adequate
idea of how possessed by tbe actor
that small audience was, or how from
that night'all Tohdoh was Irving mad.
He was the topic of conversation ev
erywhere, and for months it was' diffi
cult to get a seat at fire Lyceum, save
by booking it -weekahead. , And it is
something for any man to be proud of
that London has neter swerved in her
allegiance to him since until to-day
there is no Englishman more loved
than this one, whose noble nature has
added honor to his profession . and
raised it In the respect, of all people.
WTaterbury will undoubtedly give Mr
Irving a welcome that will be set.
down as one of the most pleasing ex
periences of his career.

How He Cautioned a- Caller at the
Immlc ration Depot in New York
Harbor Wlio Addressed . Him La
bors Far Into the Mftht Writing
Articles His Pet Sparrows. i
' t .While waiting on Ellis ; island,, iu
New York harbor, for the United States
supreme court to decide whether he is
entitled, to land here or must be de
ported to England John Turner of Eng
land, self confessed "philosophic an
archist," is" a f prisoner in the strictest
tsense of j tlie word. Two unit ormed
guards watch over .him day and night.
Turner is the first anarchist arrested
, In the United States under the new im
migration law, and Commissioner. Wil
liams does .not mean to let him get
away if he - can help it until it Is de
cided whether or not he shall be sent
away-for good. , - " '
Not that Turner has shown ay,: de
sire to break ail. To a; reporter! for
the - New York Times, who saw him
while he. was taking his afternoon con-
' stitutional on the immigrant pier the
other day, he said:. , , 1 ,'
' "I am very comfortable under the cir
cumstances; ; no complaint, to make of
fmy treatment as a prisoner except the
fact that I am a. prisoner at all." -
1 There are three steel bar, cells .In the
big basement of the Immigration build-
': lng on - the Island. ' Turner has the
place all to himself, with the exception
of his guards, although he occupies
only, the middle cell. It is very com
fortably fitted out for a prison cell,
including among other things a large
writing desk ; with , a shaded electric
light over it. 1 : sC 'XrrKy
1 The fable is heaped with clippings,
notes and copy ready for the printer.
Newspapers, mostly foreign, are. heap
ed on the floor as they are around an
exchange editor's' desk in a newspaper
office. Turner works far into the night,
.writing articles for newspapers in Eng
land and Germany, that promulgate his
doctrines. His personal . mail every
day is as large , as in any one ,. of the
division departments of the govern
ment service on the island. There is
, no restriction. Turner is s allowed . to
send out and to receive whatever .he
chooses Iu' the way of letters and news-'
papers. . , .
The philosophic anarchist is such a
lover of exercise that he would walk
the legs off: his guards if they would
let him. As it is, he 'tramps up and
down the pier With them for four hours
each day, just after breakfast and just
before dinner. , ;
Nobody is permitted 'to talk with Tur
ner save his lawyers' and his guards.
A few anarchist and socialist synipa
thijiers who succeeded in passing the
guards at the Battery and landing on
Ellis island were never abfe to get near
the man they went to see. Trirner has
been told not to.attempt to talk to per
sons he meets iivhis walks. One day
recently he went on a' little ahead of
his keeper, who had : stopped to talk
with one of . the interpreters. A vis
itor to the island, mistaking Turner
for one - of" the government mn.Invees
asked for direction to some purt or the
building. . The guard, who. was right
under Commissioner Williams': win
dow", ran up and "shooed" the stranger
away.' ' .
"You must not talk to that man!" he
shouted. "He's a prisoner an an
archist!" ' . 1 1
"Yes, look out for me," said Turner.
"They call me a bad, bad man." ':.-.,. .
The stranger promptly -turned his
back and went away on a trot.
' Turner is allowed 30 cents a day for
his food. If he was limited to-that he
Would have to subsist on bread and but
ter and coffee. But the island prisoner
gets up eariy and has the Britisher's
usual appetite.- for a. hearty breakfast
after bis ' cod..tub; ' The .reiralatloaJlo
ms is gone before he lias finisned his
breakfast. His presence on the island
is' generally known by this time, and
visitors 'or others who have .business
there fcgo ; to the restaurant to act a
glimpse of him. He .does not like that
and varies his mealtimes so as to avoid
it. -
When Turner wants anything the
'guards will not give him he writes a
note and sends it to, the commissioner's
office. Sometimes his request is grant
ed and sometimes it is npti lie is not
permitted to forget that he is .a. prison
er, and not a guest of the. nation. . On
Thanksgiving day, as a special privi
lege, : he was shown through the build-:
lng and the working of the immigra
tion system was-explained to him. He
was particularly interested In the wom
en weeping because they had, Xo be
sent back home.
. "Rather an elaborate system," com
mented Turner,, "on pinijose to keep
honest men and Women, who simply
want , to' work and live out. of your
boasted land of the free."
There is a strong bond of sympathy
between Turner and a flock of English
sparrows that come to be fed every, aft
ernoon around the flagpole at the east
end of the island. The clerks' in the
executive offices usually look - after
them, but the other day, during a snow
storm, they were too busy. -Turner
went to the restaurant and got some
bread for them. ; .
