Theodore Roosevelt, president of the United States, writes as follows to the management of the Irish Industrial Exhibition in New York City: “Gentlemen: I greatly regret that it is not in my power to be present at the Irish Industrial Exposition, to be held at Madison Square Garden. Not only should I be much interested in the display of industries of Ireland in the matter of textiles, laces and other branches of industrial art, but I should be particularly pleased with the educational feature, which I understand is to symbolize and interpret the ‘Irish revival.’ Unfortunately, it is simply out of my power to make another engagement of any kind whatsoever now, and all I can do is to send you my hearty good wishes for the success of so worthy a movement. It is peculiarly appropriate that in our country, where so large a portion of the blood of our mixed people is drawn from Irish stock, there should be this movement on broad lines, and carried out in such a wholesome and comprehensive manner, for the purpose of illustrating the industrial talents and artistic and literary genius of the Irish race. With all good wishes for the success of the exposition, believe me, sincerely yours, Theodore Roosevelt.” Sept. 14. Hon. Patrick A. Collins, mayor of Boston, Mass., died today at Hot Springs, Va.
