It is a credit for any state to have had such a gathering within Its borders nnd a glory to any city to have been the scene of such an aseinbllng. It has brought all countries closer together and has elevated the world. Breaking for myself, It 1ms been the work of my lire. The duties of the position I have held have not only claimed my entire time and thought (having not failed to he on the grounds from six to fourteen hours each and every day since the opening, May 1 last), but the performance of those du ties has been so pregnant with pleasure and Interest that It has dispelled all feel ings of weariness, nnd its cessation will seem like the severing of beloved ties, the departure from the scenes endeared by chrished associations. I tender you sincere thanks for this mani festation of your good will, which I shnll ever hold 111 sweet remembrance. To have served our fellows with all of the strength and ability granted to us Is a duty, Vie dis charge of which Is of Itself sufficient re ward Those who can feel that their ef forts which have been devoted to the up lifting and welfare of humanity are ever filled with a sense of regret that they could not have accomplished more. But, lest we forget, let us unite In expressing our grati tude to the Almighty God that throughout this Work In which we have been engaged He has spared us from pestilence, preserved our health- and strength and hfcsHed us with prosperity. May this enterprise with which we have been connected for nearly seven years past bring into still closer brotherhood all the nations and nil the peoples who have participated In It. May It deepen our patriotism. May it strengtnen our love for a benign providence that smiles upon us. tlrer Tea. Serrlee for Francis.

The spirit of revelry was there. Never since the opening had more enllvement been shown at night on the grounds. - Steadily the white electric bulbs outlined the exhibit palaces against the night, peri odically the , Illumination of the terrace of states surmounting festival hall changed from white to red. then to green and then back to white. Over on agricultural knoll the great floral clock clicked off the minutes of the departing pageant. And In the night rang out the tones of the massive bell as the midnight hour was tolled by the great clock. Instantly a hush seemed to pervade the entire grounds. The glow ing electiie bulbs slowly begun dimming, the pulsations . of the great engines that drove the cascades gradually died down, the light faded steadily, diminishing' until but a faint glow was perceptible.

APPEAL TO JHE PRESIDENT Woman's Christian Temperance Colon Wants the Indians Kept from Liquor. ' PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 1. President Roosevelt was toduy requested by the Na tional Woman's Christian Temperance union, In convention here, to see that con gress observes the existing treaties with the Indians prohibiting the sale of Intoxi cating liquor before granting statehood rights to the Indian territory, - The resolution was presented by Mrs. Margaret Dye Kills of Washington, chair man of the legislative committee, and the following telegram . was forwarded to the president: 1 "The National Woman's Christian Tem perance union, representing 600,000 women of the United States, most respectfully urges that youl4 great Influence be given to carrying out treaties of our government with the Indians concerning the sale of in toxicating liquors In Indian territory, and that this prohibitory clause be inserted In the enabling act for the new state." Among the addresses made today before the convention was one on the subject of "Nonalcoholic Medication," by Mrs. M. M. Allen of New York, and on "Health and Heredity," by Mrs. Louise C. Hurington, M. D., of Massachusetts. These were the features of the forenoon session aside from the reports of depart mental superintendents. Reports were presented by Mrs. Stella B. Irvine of California on Sunday school work, Mrs. E. B. Ingalls of Missouri on antl narcotlcs, Mrs. Nellie E. Carman of Illinois on medal contests, and others. Mrs. Allen reviewed the work of the year In the expose of the alcoholic nature of many patent medicines. Prominent physicians were quoted as being opposed to the use of liquor for medicinal purposes and this was advaneed as a strong argu ment in favor of total abstinence. "This topic excites more Interest than any brought before the state unions," said Mrs. Allen, "and a feature of the year has been the number of Women's Christian Temperance union meetings addressed by prominent physicians." Mrs. Lucy Thurmon of Michigan, the na tional superintendent of work among col ored people, said the branch was becoming effective In the politics of communities. The Fourth ward of Columbus, O., was cited as an instance of the strength of the colored union at the polls. The white people of that ward expected the colored vote to defeat the local option laws, but the colored people voted the other way and the ward is dry." , The report of the committee on resolu tions was considered shqrtly before the afternoon adjournment and final action on It will be taken tomorrow. The action taken, among other things, reaffirms the position of the union on the canteen ques tion and protests against Reed Smoot re taining his seat In the United States senate. The resolutions request that the pending bill for the admission Into the union of Arizona, New Mexico, Oklahoma and In dian territories should be so amended as to give 'the' franchise to women, and also encourage the furtherance of the organiza tion of temperance societies as adjuncts to the labor organizations. One of the resolutions is as follows:. We deplore the tendency! of writer, r modern fiction to assume that the bottle and the pipe are necessary adjuncts of many of their characters, and we recognize the statements of Dr. Crothers, the well known authority on Inebriety, "that the use of alcohol Is influencing, literature of the day," The executive committee announced that the convention of 1906 will be held In Los Angelas.

SAY CHAIN OF EVIDENCE IS COMPLETE Attorneys for the - Defense Allege that the Charge of Lower Court Was Vnfalr Their Client. WASHINGTON, Dec 1. Solicitor General Hoyt of the Department of Justice made the opening 'argument for the government in the case of United States Senator J. R. Burton of Kansas In the supreme cmirt of the United States today. Mr. Hoyt con tended that this was an ordinary criminal m m a V. a . th. miuHnntn rvf triA tllHS- dlction of the court which tried Mr. Bur ton could not be successfully maintained. Replying to a question from Justice White, Mr. Hoyt said Mr. Burton's name appeared on the Rlalto company's circulars, but at what time he could not say. Justice White replied that as the department was investi gating the case the time seemed very ma terial. Mr. Hoyt argued that Senator Burton knew Just what he was doing whn he ac cepted service with -the Rlalto company. He said it was questionable whether a sen ator should perform such services as were required of the defendant by the company, but that when he accepted a fee "he com pleted the fatal chain." Mr. Hoyt discussed the claim of the de fense that the charge was an "Infamous crime" Instead of a "misdemeanor," and therefore that the defense should have ten Instead of three challenges. He claimed that the contelton of the defense was not valid. JusUce White asked if he did not realize that the penalty carried a disquali fication of the accused, debarred him from citizenship and forever put a stigma upon him? Mr. Hoyt maintained that the stat ute made the offense a misdemeanor. Mr. Lehman closed the case In an hour's argument for Senator Burton. He reviewed the testimony with reference to Mr. Bur ton's visits to the Postofflce department and Insisted they Involved no possible Inter est of the United States, and nothing In the senator's acts were to the prejudice of the United States. Mr. Lehman also maintained that the charge of the lower court was un fair to the defendant FrohlbKlon In Indian Territory. Rev. William H. Ketchum, director of the bureau of Catholic Indian missions, and E. M. Sweet, Jr., secretary of the Indian Ter ritory Church federation called on the pres ident today to enlist his Influence to have incorporated in a statehood bill provisions against the sale of Intoxicating liquors in the territory. They told the president that since 1832 the national and tribal govern ments had maintained strict prohibitory liquor laws in the territory, and experience had confirmed the wisdom and necessity of the prohibition. The president promised to take the subject upor consideration and to use his influence In behalf of the main tenance of a good government In every re spect in the proposed new state.

STEVENSVILLE,' Mich., Dec. J.-Peter Nlssen, who started across Lake Michigan in his boat, "F00J filler No. 3," waa found dead on the beach two and a half miles west of here today,, ' Nlssen Is supposed to have been washed ashore during the night. His "Fool Killer" was on the beach about twenty rods from the body and was con- slderably damaged. A Ufo-preserver and his overcoat were fastejnd to the basket shaped car in the boat. The body was brought to Stevensvllle, where it lies in the town hall. The hands and face are frozen and the features reflect his suffering. The clothing on the body Was somewhat torn. It is thought that Nlssen could not have been dead a great while when the body was found, as rigor mortis had not set in. The body was found by Mrs. Collier, who lives on a farm near the lake shore. Nis sen's employer was notified as soon aa word was received here that the body had been found, and a coroner's Jury was Impaneled and began an Inquest. Men have gone from here to bring In the wrecked "Fool Killer No. S." . . It is almost certain that Nlssen practi cally reached shore alive yesterday about 4 o'clock, after he had been out of Chicago twenty-four hours. The 4 q1 Killer No. 3" was then seen about 200 rods from shore off Livingston, six miles south of Stevensvllle. A heavy gale was blowing and It Is pre sumed he waa unable to land and was tossed about on the shore all night. Nls sen was probably unconscious or so chilled that he was unable to save himself when the "Fool Killer" finally collapsed and he was drowned. . When the wrecked acquatlo balloon was examined one of Nlssen's business cords was found, on the back of which was a note from the dead adventurer saying an air hose upon which he depended to renew his supplyof air had broken and that he was doomed to die of suffocation William Fuller, a farmer, saw the balloon boat being driven toward shore about 4 p. m. yesterday, three miles south of the place where Nlssen's body was found today. When Fuller sighted It the eruft had apparently not as yet been broken up by the waves. It Is believed here that Nlssen was alive when the boat first touched the eastern shore of the lake. His wrecked boat was late today hauled Into Stevensvllle and a coroner's Jury was Impanelled. The Inquest was adjourned for further Investigation. NEW PROFESSOR AlTsEMINARY Rev.

Arguments were made In five of the contempt cases before the supreme court today and at the conclusion the court announced that decision would be rendered Monday morning next. Twelve more supreme court warrants for democratic etectlon officers who served In Denver were Issued today. Two arrests were made this afternoon, both of the per sons arrested, Max Shradsky and Max 81ssock, being released In $1,0W bonds. The men are charged with contempt In refusing to accord special supreme court watchers the right conferred upon them by the su preme court at the time of their appoint ment. . Warrants for Republlenns. Attorneys representing the democratic state organization also secured the Issu ance of a batch of warrants for republic ans In Huerfano county. The charge is the same as In the Denver case, the al leged contempt consisting of refusal to allow special supreme court watchers to enter the polling places designated In Huerfano county. Hearing in contempt ca-es will be re sumed In the supreme court tomorrow. Theer are about fifty cases still pending. Only three witnesses for the defense were heard today In the election cases pending before United States Commissioner A. B Capron. The hearing was interrupted by the nec essity for the presence of several of the defendants in the supreme court, where they stand charged with contempt. The cases before the commissioner are bnsed upon the charge that the defendants prevented Adolph Welmer from voting In precinct eight of the Fifth ward. Welmer claims that his ballot was already marked "socialist" when handed him and that whea he Insisted on having a second ballot he was thrown out of the polling place by two of the defendants. Defense In Welmer Cmmr. Alderman Michael Mahoney, Charles Kofsky and Edward O'Mallla, respectively Judge and clerks of election, nil for the defense, testified that Welmer did not dis cover that the word "socialist" was on his ballot until after It had been handed to Kofsky, whose duty had been to tear off the secend of the reference slips, and the latter had returned It to him. The de fendants added that a number of other voters were waiting their turn at the time, so that it was possible Welmer's ballot hnd been handed to some other voter and placed In the box, nnd that the ballot that was returned to him was that of some other voter. The witnesses for the prosecution had all testified that Welmer came out of the booth protesting against the ballot which he said had a mark on It and that he had not yet handed It to the Judges to be folded, pasted and marked for deposit In the ballot box. All three testified that no force was used to eject Welmer from the polling place and that he was removed only because they believed he was trying to vote twice.

HILL ANSWERS SHAKESPEARE Railroad Magnate Shows What's n Kame When It Comes to Taxation. in Here, Mr. Shakespeare, Is your answer: "You see now why the B. & M. was absorbed, in name as well as In fact, by Uhe Chicago, Burlington & Qulncy, don't you?" remarked a local real estate dealer who hnd been reading the account of the Injunction suit filed by the Union Pacific and Burlington in the federal court to prevent those roads paying their Just share of taxes In this state. "You will observe that the attorney for the Burlington makes the remarkable point that In taxing Bur lington property In Nebraska the authori ties overlook the fact that 'we own $75. 000,000 worth of property outside of Ne braska." Who Is this 'we'? Why, the Burlington. You see, this very skillful argument could not have been made If, a few months ago Mr. Hill had not stopped calling the lines in Nebraska the B. & M. and gone to calling them the Burlington."
