3 GIVES ROOSEVELT ENTHUSIASTIC WELCOME The Colonel Meets Insurgents Garfield and Gifford Pinchot There. CHUCK WAGON BREAKFAST. Between Parades and Speeches, the Ex-President Has a Busy Day. (Special to The Eagle.) Denver, August 29-One of the biggest celebrations in the history Denver took place to-day when Theodore Roosevelt arrived at the Union Depot his special train at 10:40 to-day. Denver had been primping up for the occasion for several days and the streets were gaudy with the national colors, with the red and yellow of the Spanish War veterans association, and bunting woven Into all manner of designs.

Stuck up at intervals were heads emblematic the Colorado Livestock Association. As colonel stepped from the train after morning run Cheyenne, this where he has spent the last two days, he passed 1 under Denver's perennial triumhal arch, which can be taken down and put up when required and which has done Duty for distinguished visitors of all shades of political opinion, As the party landed the guns of Light Battery grounds, stationed in the barked a salute. Roosevelt was welcomed by Governor Shaforth, by Mayor Speer, by General Sherman Bell, who was in charge of the parade, and by Gifford Pinchot, who has been in Denver a waiting his old chief's appearance. That other eminent insurgent, I. Garfield, traveled with the colonel from Cheyenne, So that the party at the station somewhat resembled a reun' of the "tennis cabinet." parade, which passed through the principal streets of Denver, comprised 'detachments of regular troops from Fort Logan, veterans of the Civil and Spanish wars, Rough Riders assembled into temporary organization from Wyoming, Colorado, the Dakotas and even from disS tant states, members of the Colorado Livestock Association, now in convention at Denver, cowboys on bronchos and prominent citizens "in carriages." The Colonel's Busy Day.

Even Colonel Roosevelt's capacity for the strenous must have been taxed by today's programme. After driving around town with the paraders he attended what the West calls a chuck wagon breakfast in Overland Park. He made a brief speech there. Later he was driven to the big auditorium that seats 12,000 people. Here he made an address to the members of the Colorado Livestock Association, telling them how much he was interested in them and their work.

The auditorium was packed to the do doors, and the audience warmly received both the speaker and the speech. Later, escorted by Governor Shafroth, the colonel addressed the members of the Colorado legislature in the Assembly chamber of the capitol. The legislature 1s wrestling with initiative and referendum and direct primaries, but the colonel was chary of references to either topic. At 5 o'clock the Colonel will return to the Auditorium to address the Spanish War Veterans Association and at 6:30 he will appear as a guest at the banquet of the Live Stock Association at El Jebel 1 Temple of the Mystic Shrine. There he will speak again.

Gifford Pinchot and James R. Garfield are also scheduled to talk. Mr. Pinchot's topic is "The Cow and the Tree," on which the late eLwis Carroll might have written some delightful verse, while Mr. Garfield will speak upon "Conservation and Progress." Speculation is general in Denver to-day las to whether either or both of these speakers will enhance the political significance of the Colonel's western trip by taking a crack at the administration.

Colonel Roosevelt was extremely enthusiastic in what he said yesterday to the correspondents regarding his experiences Cheyenne. He paid a warm tribute to the pluck of some of the cowboys who were thrown from their bronchos at Frontier Park and considerably hurt, but who refused to quit the competitions. "When you see men do that sort of said the Colonel, "you can be certain we are in no danger of becoming a soft people." How He Spent Sunday. The Colonel's Sunday in Cheyenne was divided between church and horseback riding. In the morning he attended service at the Congregational Church.

In the afternoon, accompanied by Lieutenant Fort Russell, a great-grandson of Governor Tompkins of New York State; by W. Van Tassel. a ranchman; James R. Garfield and former Governor Amos R. Barber of Wyoming, the Colonel rode on horseback sixteen miles to Sam Warren's ranch on Pole Creek, where the dry farming was inspected with interest.

Later in the afternoon the Colonel and his party rode round the plains, got caught in a storm, broke into a cowpuncher's hut for shelter, and returned to the Pole Creek ranch for dinner where Sam Warren served a meal that would have done to a Broadway restaurant. The Colonel returned to Cheyenne by auto late at night. "We had a great time," he said, "we rode, all told, thirty-four miles and on the way back to the ranch we had a race. Van Tassel and I Anished neck and neck. Sam Warren put up a dinner with champagne that was a wonder.

It was really three meals in one." The Colonel spent the night at Inter Ocean Hotel and boarded his private car for Denver early morning. OBITUARY William H. Hanson.

STORE NEWS. Exhibit of the New Fall Dress Goods and Silks at Lord Taylor's. This morning there were placed on exhibition in the show windows of Lord Taylor's house, Broadway and Twentieth street, Manhattan, a number -of very beautiful examples of fall dress goods in the newest colorings. Three windows are given to broadcloths in "bleu Russe," a new soft blue shade, that ranges from very light to a medium dark in tone and that will be one of the most favored colors of the coming season, it is said. Two other windows show specimens of novel light tan shades called the Parisian "bambou," while a corner window is devoted to broadcloths in the three lovely rose tones that comprise the group called "carotte." With these cloth gowns are shown several hats in velvet and other fabrics in the same colorings.

Within the store there is a wider range of materials and colors, a complete line of all the new silks and an interesting showing of the heavier dress goods. In the judgment of the buyers of this store, which is looked to as an authority by very many women of conservative taste, the English and Scotch suitings in rough effects will prevail among the woolens, and velveteens and corduroys, which show up the new shades especially well, will also be popular for street wear. All the softer materials will be used in the silks and lighter dress goods, chiffons and chiffon cloth, marquisette, etc. There is a wide choice in colors this year, nearly all in soft tones that yet have too much life to be called dull. There are several attractive new tints in the violets, pensee being the name of a dark tone, parme being the shade of the violet flower, and ramier being pale and very soft.

Quite as attractive are some among those which might roughly be termed the raspberry tones, meusette and pivoine being of distinctive character. Chevrefeuille is a new pink and ecureuil a shade that has both a pinkish and a yellowish cast. Perroquet is a new and very good blue, and cactus and cornichon are two of the new greens, the former pale and very soft and the latter quite dark but as clear as emerald in a good light. Some of the light shades of various colors are cire, asperge, miel and mouette, a pale gray. It is predicted that more black than usual will be worn, while the Persians will continue in favor in the chiffons and similar sheer fabrics.

Hoffman of the tenth position and crawled un on John R. Lyman, who still has an advantage of 64 votes. The most progressive contender was Chester A. Avis, who gained eight points. Elizabeth Thinnes, Alberta ralmer and Frank Weisman also made fair advances.

Spandau, Prussia, August 29-The death of a woman and the illness of her husband and of a male attendant and a police sergeant, at the hospital, all four cholera cases, has caused the health administration of Prussia to take the most comprehensive precautions against a spread of the infection. Professor Lentz, chief of the Bacteriological Bureau of the Government Institute for Infectious Diseases at Berlin, says that, unfortunately, there is no doubt that the cases are cholera. All of the hospital attendants where the woman died have been placed in quarantine, as have fifteen families tenement building where the family lived. The powder factory where the husband was employed has been disinfected, and his fellow workmen placed under observation. A strong police line thrown about the neighborhood prevents the approach to the tenement.

The Choleraists Association for First Aid and the Red Cross Society have prepared for a possible epidemic with a large enrollment of physicians and nurses and improvised ambulances. Physicians have been assigned to duty at all the railway stations along the frontier so that they may give immediate attention to arrivals showing symptoms of illness. REFEREES APPOINTED. BY PUTNAM.

Original Terminus, Welcomes New Era. A number of additional towns have taken up the Tunnel Celebration within the past day or two, and notable among the number is Hicksville, where a meeting to discuss a suitable programme hag been called by Postmaster Samuel T. Poole to be held on Wednesday evening. Hicksville's celebration will be a conspicuous one for the reason that this town was the original terminus of the Long Island Railroad. The prodigious strides that have taken place in transit facilities since that time could find no better illustration than in the completion of the Pennsylvania Tunnels, and in the making of Long Island the real terminus for the vast Pennsylvania Railroad system, Valley Stream is another town that was to-day added to the long list of those that regard the opening of the tunnels as MISCELLANEOUS.

Congressman W. W. Cocks, who has been invited as one of the speakers at the Jamaica celebration, to-day expressed in -most emphatic terms his views of the plan to have the tunnel celebration include all of Long Island. He said: There is not the slightest question but that every Long Island community with a particle of local pride should give its most energetic sapport to the idea of a celebration that shall include all of Long Island in 118 scope. Measured by past improvementa there has been none of greater significance affecting the Long Islander than the opening of the Pennsylvania tunnels and the elimination of the East River thereby as a hindrance to Long Island securing all It deserves in the way of population, prosperity and progress.

In the years to come every Long Island boy and girl of to-day will look back upon the opening of these tunnels as an event in their lives. It should be given due recognition and I certainly hope that every town on Long Island will take full advantage of the opportunity presented to show world that Long Island has awakened from the enforced slumber caused by inadequate transit connections with the otuside world, by which condition it was in the past so sorely handicapped.

Police Seeking Clews That Are Covered by Death of Victim, Detectives from the Central Office are hot on the trail of the mysterious assailants of Patrick Rhall, a laborer, thirtyseven years old, who staggered against the door of his home at 772 Bergen street, early this morning, mortally wounded, and died at a hospital a few hours later. Before his death, the victim absolutely refused to tell the police who had attacked him or where he had been last evening. No member of Rhall's family have any inkling how Rhall had been set upon or where he had been and the police a are at to discover a tangible clue upon which they can work. At 2 o'clock this morning, Catherine Rhall, the victim's sister-in-law, rushed up to Patrolman Gustave M.

Stark of the Grand avenue station and excitedly asked him to go back to her house, where they were having great trouble. Stark went to the house and found Rhall lying on a bed, with several stab wounds about his body, The patrolman immediately sent a call to the Swedish Hospital and while waiting for the ambulance, questioned Rhall, who was still conscious, about the murderous attack which had been made upon him. The injured man would not answer any questions, nor would he say where he had been. He was the most unconcerned person in the room. Policeman Stark tried to elicit some information from the man's mother, Mrs.

Mary Rhall, but the woman could throw no light upon her son's encounter. Sho said that shortly before the officer had been summoned, she heard loud noises on the street, in front of the home. It sounded as though a fight was on, for there were quite evidently several people yelling and shouting in an excited manner. In her night clothes she went down to the door, she said, find out what the trouble was. When she opened the door her son lurched in.

Mrs. Rhall followed her son into his room and watched him take off his shoes and stockings. It was not until he had taken his shirt off that 'she discovered that he was covered with blood and had evidently been murderously assailed. Then she had her daughter-in-law call police assistance. Before he died.

Rhall was again questioned for information as to his assailants or where he had been. Again he refused to divulge their names.
