Mexican Towns Destroyed 'by

Monrberey. Mexico, July 12.: ;With dam-
age of three-quarters of a million dollars
as a result of recent railfall and passen-
ger train service still Iamentably crip-
pled, a serious condition confronts
northern Mexico. Melees from Saltines,
Hildalgo, are meagre, owing to the fact
that all communication from that town
is completely destroyed, but it is re-
ported the town has been entirely wiped
out and that property loss,if not total,
will be great. No trains are arriving
over the Mexican National.
The river which skirts the northern
section of the town of Villaldama has
left its banks. Fifty houses had been
swept away yesterday, and a hundred
others were under water and crumbling.
Several hundred persons are honreles'.

Strikingly Patriotic Incident Occurs
at 'f iconderoga.
Governor Took Off His Hat to.
Mali Who Started "America.".
Fart Ticonderoga despatch: There was.
a dramatic moment here this afternoon
in the Champlain tercentenary celebra-
tion, Fully. 10,000 persona were packse
closely together on a sloping hillside„
just below the ruins of the old Fort Ti-
conderoga.. The Presidential party had.
not arrived and a gap in the speaking.
was being filled up by short addresses.
Far out in the crowd a thin small.
voice of a man was heard to sing the
first notes of "Amerioa." The song wav-
ered and grew faint. Just as it was.
about to stop a sweet contralto voice
joined in. Two or three others came te•
the assistance of the struggling singers..
Then came a loud voioe: "Everybody
join!"
All stood up on the grand stand and.
special stands and on the . hillside. Hats.
came off and then 10,000 voices, with.
Governor Hughes practically leading,
them, sang the rest of "America." When,
the verse, "Our Fathers' God, to Thee,"
was reached, all bowed heads and there
were tears in many eyes.
After the song, Governor Hughes ad-
vanced to the front of the stand and.
took off his hat to the man who bad..
started the song.
Mr. Bryce and others delivered ad-
dresses.
ddresses.
Governor Hughes introduced the Pre-
sident, who said in part:
"As I sat here listening to the inter-
esting remarks of the ambasador from.
France and the ambassador from Eng-
land I could not but cougratulate the:
United States on the implied compli-
ment those two countries had paid to -
her by sending her as personal repre-
sentatives of their respective chief ex-
ecutives men so distinguished in litera-
ture and history, statesmanship and in.
diplomacy."
Ile eulogized Champlain and ex-
pressed the opinion that it was well for
the people to go back through the his-
tory of all nations in order that their
heads, a little swelled with modern
progress, may be diminished a bit in.
the proper proportion of what was done
by nations before and under conditions
that seemed to limit the possibilities of
human achievement. He paid eloquent
tribute to Montcalm and Wolfe and.
said:
"For sixteen years it was my good
fortune to go to letui;ray Bay in 'Can-
