BUFFALO, May 20. Lowering cloudr that
threatened rain and a wind that blew In
fitful gusts marked t!ie opening hours of
Judication day at the Pan-American expo
sition. There was a partial clearing of the
sky at 0.30, which save half-hearted prom
ise ot further improvement during the day.
The holiday crowd was out early and the
earlier trams udded thousand! of toun'.ry
folks to their ranks. The exposition grounds
and the business districts of the city,
where the military and civic parades
formed, were the centers that attrsnod
the largest numbers, while tie streets and
avenues connecting the two awarmed with
animated crowdc. The Temple of Music,
v.hero the formal exercises of the day were
hld. wss the center of activity.
The military parade formed at the city
hall and the streets radiating from it. and
the foreign and state commissioners and
distinguished visitors were received nt the
mtlu entrance to the municipal building.
They wero welcomed by representatives of
the exposition commission atid later escorted
to their carrlagec. The scene about the
city ball was a brilliant one. The foreign
representatives came in evening attire and
there were a dozen military and national
officers in full uniform numbered In tho
group.
Senators Lodge and Hansa were early
arrivals at the city boll, while Vice Presi
dent Roosevelt and President Mllburn did
not arrive until later. The crowd gave
them all liberal applause and the vice presi
dent bowed repeatedly In acknowledgement
The parade moved off a 10:15, a squad of
mounted police clearing the way. State
troops led, followed by United States ar
tillery men. The Mexican contingent fol
lowed and after them were more militia
men. Vice President Ilooaevelt viewed the
column from n carriage at the entrance to
the city hall driveway.
When the last of the military had passed
Vice President Koosevelt was escorted to
a carriage und rode with President Mil
burn. Vlco President Itooosevelt was
cheered all along the line and repeatedly
bowed his acknowledgments.
Ten Thonsnncl Currier I'Ikcoiih.
About noon the multitude begun to enter
on the esplanade, about the Temple of
Music, where the exercises were held. The
first of the ceremonies on tho grounds was
the flight of 10,000 homing pigeons. The
pigeons, suddenly released from their cap
tivity, rose in a great mass, circling around
and round, through the towers of the build
lngs.rlslng higher and higher until gradually
as they got their bearings,, they darted
away, first In pairs, then by the score until
all bad disappeared to the four points ot
the compass, bearing their messages an
nouncing the dedication of the exposition.
The troops wero massed on and around
the Bridge ot Triumph and at 12:15 o'clock
the officials and special guests headed by
Vice President Roosevelt and President
Mllburn of the exposition, marched through
open ranks and on through the roped en
closure to the Temple of Music. The
parade reformed and marched through the
grounds. After the entry ot the officials
and guests, the Temple of Music wbb
thrown open to those holding invitations
and rapidly filled. At 12:30 o'clock th gal
leries of the templo were opened to the
public and as soon as they filled the portals
were closed by tho police.
Prayer !r Wallop l'm If r.
Twenty minutes later President Mllburn
led the speakers and special guests to the
platform. As the closing strains of the
"Hallelujah Chorus," played by the Seventy
first Regiment band, died away Bishop
Fowler offered the opening prayer.
President Mllburn received nn ovation
when be arose to speak, and it was some
time before he could secure attention. He
began by reading the telegrams and cable
grams of a congratulatory naturo received
during the day, commencing with that of
President McKlnley. which follows.

The opening of on exposition, which Is !

JtooM fit's Address,
Today we formally open this groat ex
position, by the shores of the mighty Inland
seas of the north, where all the people ot
the wertern hemisphere hnve Joined to
show what they have done in att. sconce
nnd Industrial invention, what they have
been able to accomplish with their mani
fold resources nwl their Infinitely varied
Individual and national quallller. Such un
exposition, held nt the opening of this new
century, Inevitably suggests two trains of
thought It should make us think seriously
and solemnly of our several duties to one
mother a. citizens of the different nations
ot this western hemisphere, nnd also of our
duties each to tho nation to which he per
ttonally lelongs.
The century upon which we have Just
entered must inevitably be one of tre
mendous triumph or or tremendous fail
ure for the whole human race: because, to
an Infinitely greater extent thun ever be
fore humanity is knit together In all its
parts, for wenl or for woe. All ubout us
there are lnnnumcrable tendencies that tell
for good and Innumerable tendencies that
tell for evil. It Is, of course, u mere truism
to hay that our own nets must determine
which set of tendencies r-hall overcome the
, other. In order to act wisely we must first
k'C cicany. inere is no pmce uxhuiik us
for the mere pessimist, no man who looks
at life with a vision that sees all things
black or gray cun do nught healthful in
mouldlnrr the destiny of n mighty and
vigorous people But there Is juFt as little
use tor tne roousn optimist wno reiuses
to face the many and real evils that exlEt
nnd who falls to sec that the onlv way to
insure tne tnumpn or rignteousness in me
future Is to vur ugalnst ull that Is bnsc,
weak and unlovely In the present
There are certain thing. so obvlou as
to seem commonplace which nevertheless
must be kept constantly before us If wo
are to preserve our Just M-nse of propor
tion. This twentieth century Is big wltn
the fate of the nations of mankind, because
tho fate of each Is now interwoven with
the fate of all to a degrco never even np
proached In any previous stnge of history.
No better proof could "be given than by
this very exposition. A century ago no
such exposition could have iven been
thought of The larger part of the terri
tory represented here today by so many
free nations was not even mapped, nnd
very much of It was unknown to the hardi
est explorer. The Influence of America
upon old world affairs was imponderable.
World politics still meant Europcnn poll
tics. Conerriiril nllli Xew World.
All that is now changed, not merely by
whnt has hamened here In America, but
by what has Jiappcnrd elsewhere. It is
not necessary for us here to consider the
glulit changes which have come elsewheie
in the globe, to treat of the rise In the
south seas of the great tree common
wealths of Australia und New Zealand,
of the way In which Japan has been re
juvenated and has advanced by leaps and
hounds to n position among the leading
civilized powers, of tho problems affecting
the major portion of mankind, which call
imperiously for solution in parts of the
old world which a century ago were barely
known to Europe even by rumor. Our
present concern Is not with the old world,
nut with our own western hemisphere.

peoples of this continent from the Dominion
of Canada in the north to Chill and
Argentina In the south, representing peo
ples who have traveled far nnd fat In the
last century, because in them has been
practically Fhown that it Is the nptrlt of
adventure which Is the maker of common
wealths, peoples who are lenrnlng and
striving to put In practice the vital truth
that freedom Is the necessary nrst step,
but only the first step, in successful free
government.
During the last century we have on the
whole made long strides In the right direc
tion, but we have very much yet to learn.
We nil look forward to the day when there
shall be a nearer approximation than there
has ever yet been to the brotherhood of
man, nnd the peace of the world. More
and more we nre learning that to love
one's country above all others Is In no
way incompatible with respecting and wish
ing well to nil others, and that, as between
man and man, so between nation and nn

Hxlendm n Welcome.
Today, on behalf of the Un'.Ud States.
I welcome you here; ymi. our brothers of
the north, and, you. our brothers of the
south; we wish you well, we wish you all
prosperity, and we say to ou that we
earnestly hope for s our well-being, not
only for your own sakes. but also for our
own, for It Is a benefit to each of lis to
have the others do well. The relation be
tween us now are those of cordla' friend
ship und It Is to the Interest of nil alike
that this friendship should ever remain un
broken. Nor Is there the least chance
of Its being broken, provided only that all
of us nllke act with full recognition of the
vital need that each should realize that his
own true Interests can best be tcrved by
serving the Interests of others.
You. men of Canada, are doing sub
stantially the same work thnt we of this
republic are doing, and face substantially
the same problems that we also face
Your's Is the world of the merchant, the
manufacturer and median!', the farmer,
the ranchman and the miner, you are
subduing the prairie and the fotest, tilling
farm land, building cities, striving to rnlfc
ever higher the standard or right, to bring
ever nearer the day when true Justice shall
obtain between man and man, and we wish
godspeed to you atid your's nnl may the
kindliest ties of good will always exist
between us.
To you of the republics south of us I
wish to say a special word. I believe with
all my heart In the Monroe doctrine. Thin
doctrine is not to be invoked for the ag
grandizement of nry one of u here on
this continent at the expense of any one
else on this continent. It should be re
garded simply as a great International
I'an-Ameriran policy, vital to the Interests
of all of us The I'nlted Statese hirs, and
ought to have, and must ever have, only
the desire to see her sister republics in
the western bcmlphere continue to flour
ish, and the determination that no one
world power shall acquire new territory
here on this western continent. We of
the two Amcilcas must be left to work out
our own salvation along our own lines, und
If we are wise we will maKe u unacrsioou
us a cardinal feature of our Joint foreign
pollcv. that on the one hand we will not
submit to territorial nggrnndlzement on
this continent by any old world power, and
thnt on the other hand among ourselves
earh nntion must scrupulously regard the
rights and Interests of the others, so that
instead of any one of us committing tho
criminal folly of trying to rise at the ex
pense of our neighbors, we shall all strive
lpward in honest and manly brotherhood,
shoulder to shoulder.
Problem of the 1'uture.
A word now expeclally to my own fellow
countrymen. I think that we have all of
us reuson to be Batlsfled with the showing
made, Ir. this exposition as In the other
great expositions of the past, of the re
sults of the enterprise, the shrewd daring,
the business energy ana capacity, nnd the
artistic, and above all the wonderful me
chanical skill and Inventiveness of our peo
ple In all of this we have legitimate
cause to feel a noble pride and n still
nobler pride In the showing made of what
we have done In such matters ns our rys
t,m nf r.'ldttnrpnd nonular education und
in the field of philanthropy especially In
that best kind of philanthropy which
tenches ench man to help lift both him
self and his neighbor by Joining with that
neighbor hand In hand In n common effort
for the common good.
But we should err greatly, we should err
In the most fatal of wu.vb, by willful blind
ness to whatever Is not pleusant, If while
Justly proud of our achievements we failed
.o realize thnt we have plenty of short
comings to remedy, that there are terrible
problems before us, which we must work
out alright, under the gravest national
penalties If we fall. It cannot be too often
repeuted that there is no natent device
for securing good government, that, after
all Is said and done, nfter we have given
full credit to every scheme for Increasing
our material iirospcrlty. to every effort of
the lawmaker to provide a system under
which each man shall lie best secured In
his own rights, It yet remains true that the
prp.il fnptnr In wnrkln? ntlt the success
of this giant republic of the western con
tinent must bo the possession of those
qualities of essential virtue and essential
manliness which have built up every great
and mighty people of tho past, and the
lack of which always has brought, and
always will bring, the proudest of nations
crashing down to ruin. Here in this ex
position, on the stadium and on the pylons
of the bridge, you have written certain
sentences to which we must all subscribe,
und to which we must live up If we are
In any way or measure to do our duty.
' Who shuns the dust and sweat of the con
test, on his brow falls not the cool shade
of the olive." and "A free stnte exists
only In the virtue of the citizen." We all
accept these statements In theory; but
If we do not live up to them In pructlce
then there Is no health In us. Take the
two together nlways in our eager, rest
less life of effort, but little enn be done
by that cloistered virtue of which Milton
spoke with such fine contempt. We need
the rough, strong qualities that make a
man fit to play his part well among men.
Yet we need to remember even more that
no ability, no rtrength and force, no power
of Intellect or power of wealth, shall avail
us. If wo have not the root of right living
In us; If we do not pay more than a mere
Hp royalty to the old, old commonplace
virtues, which stand at the foundation of
all social und political well-being.
Duly CnlU to All.
It Is easy to say what we ought to do,
but It is hard to do It. and yet no scheme
can bo devised which will save us from
the need of doing Just this hard work.
Not merely must each of us strive to do
his dutv. In addition It Is Imperatively
necessary also to establish n strong and
Intelligent public opinion which will re-

Th program was then taken up, Mrt. M
D. Lowrey presiding. The first number
was a piano solo by Miss Hawley. fol
lowed by a paper on "Salem" by Miss Anna
Adams, In which she spoke especially of
the witchcraft craze and the authors and
other prominent persons that have con
tributed to the fame of that place. After
a vocal solo by Mils Peck, the remainder
of the time wbb spent socially, concluding
with refreshments, after which the meeting
adjourned until called again by the presi

The woman's clubs of Colorado Springs

of standing committees. There will also
be a report from the Btatc secretary of the
General Federation of Woman's clubs and
the annual election of officers. The plan
of transacting all of the business In one
day Is something new In the stnte meetings
and will not only mean a great saving of
time, but do much to eliminate the numer
ous social affairs that, In spite of protest,
are forced upon the delegates.
In response to the call of the temporary
chairman. Mrs, Watson B, Smith, three of

Being our dutv Is of eo.irse Incumbent
on evervone of us alike, yet the heaviest

man who sins ngulnst the light, the man
to whom much has been given, and from
whom therefore we have a right to expect

as leaders nnd moulders of opinion In the

In addition, however, to the problems ,
which under the Proteah shapes are et I
fundamentally the same for all nations and
tor all times, there are others which es
pecially need our attention, because they
ate the especial production of our preent
Industrial civilization. The tremendous In
dustrial development of the nineteenth
century has not only conferred great bene
fits upon js of the twentieth, but It 'ius
also exposed us to grave dangers. This
highly complex movement has had many
slues, some good nnd some bad. and has
produced an absolutely novel set of phe
nomena lo secure for them the best re
sults will tax to the utmost the resources
of the statesman, tho economist and the

and in consequence an immense growth
of the body of wageworkrs, together with
an accumulation of enormous fortunes
which more and more tend to exp.vt.
their powtr through great corporations that
are themselves guided by some master
mind of the business world As a result
vie are confronted by a formidable series
of perplexing problems, with which It I
absolutely necessary to deal, and yet with
which It Is not merely useless, but In the
hlshest degroe unwise and datigerou" to
deal save with wisdom, insight und self
restraint. Truth Which Are .loiiuitlc.
There are certain truths which are so
commonplace ns to i; axiomatic, and yet
so important that we lannot keep them
too vividly befote our minds. The true
welfare of the nation is Indlssolubly bound
with the welfare or the farmer nnd the
waceworker; of the man who tills the
soil, and of the mechatili the handicrafts
man, the laborer. If we can Insure the
prosperity of these two cIhsscs we need
not trouble ourselves about the prosperity
ot the rest, lor that will follow us a mat
ter of course.
On the other hand. It is equally true that
the prosperity ot any of us cun best be
attained by measures that will promot"
the prosperity of ull. The pooreal motto
upon which an American cun act is the
motto or "pome men down " and ;he safet
to follow Is that of "all men up.' A
good deol can and ought lo be done l
law. 1'or Instance, the state, and. if neceR
sary. the nation, should b) law nssume
nmple power of supervising und regulating
the acta of any corporation (which can be
but its creaturel, und generall) of thnse
immense business enterprises which exist
only because of the safety and protection
to property guaranteed by our system of
BdVrnment Vot u I' equally true thut,
none illin power snuuia exist, It should
be used sparingly and with self-restraint
Modern Industrial competition Is very
keen between nation and nation, end now
that our country Is striding lorwurd with
the pace of a giant to take the leading
position lu the International Industrial
world, we should beware how we fetter
our limbs, how we cramp our Titan
strength. While striving to prevent indus
trial injustice at home, wu must not bring
upon ourselves lndustrlul weakness abroid.
This is a task for which we need the llnast
ubllltles of the statesman, the student, the
patriot and the fur-seeing lover of man
kind. It Is a tak In whKh we shall fall
with absolute certainty If we approach It
after having surrendered ourselves to the
guidance ot the demagogue or the doc
trinaire, oi tne wrii-meanlng man who
thinks feebly, or of the cunning self
seeker who endeavors to rise by commit
ting that worst of crimes against our peo
plethe crime of Inflaming brother agulnst

MUSICAL FESTIVAL PLANS
i'rt-Ilmliinrles for DelWtrdl Concert
Are rrorrliiE Itapldlj nnd
Satisfactorily.
The festival grounds, Fifteenth street
nnd Capitol avenue, are being rapidly put
In shape for the coming musical festival
ot fifty-three concerts by the Bellstedt
band, which will open one week from uext
Saturday evening. Contractor J. E, Knowles
has the tent up and is at work on the
bandstand, which will have this jear a
perfected sound reflector.
Last year the cap or hood of the band
stand was ten feet short and the rain
would sometimes Interfere with the musi
cians. This Is obviated for the coming
concerts by carrying the top of the band
stand over so that it Is in a straight line
with tho edge of the stage. This will be
a very marked Improvement In the matter
of the acoustics of the tented auditorium,
bb it will carry the music much farther
toward the outer edge of the seating ca
pacity of the grounds, with greater force
than last year, and make the outside seats
as desirable as the front ones. The
6cttceB will also show a decided Improve
ment, being comfortable wood-fclattod
benches. The reserved seats will consist
of easy folding chairs and they will be
placed farther apart than they were last
September, making it more comfortable
for the reserved seotholders.
Profiting by the experience of last Sep
tember the reserved seats will be num
bered upon a new plan. For Instance' The
first row, from 1 to P; second row, 10 to
IP. and ho on. By this method the ticket
purchaser will know Just how many rows
he is placed from the bandstand. The mu
sical novelties promised by Bellstedt are
numerous and his hosts of appreciative
friend will have the pleasure of hearing
many pleasant surprises. His repertoire
has been augmented by many new clas
sical compositions, as well as all the late
popular novelties.

James Callahan may be out on ball within
a few days, as two ot bti heaviest bonds
required from him were done away with
yesterday when Judge liaker sustained the
pleas In bar for the dtstharge of the de
fendant In the robbery and larceny cases.
At 2 o'clock yesterday the attorneys
for Callahan apptcred in the criminal court
room and moved for Judgment in the rob
ber) and larceny casei, pleading for the
discharge of the defendant on the ground
tnbl he had already been put In Jeopardy
for the same offence as Is alleged in each
of these remaining cases. The county at
torney stated to Judge Baker that he hid
no objection to offer to the motion, and,
thersfore. the court suitstned It.
This action finally disposes of all the
cases against Callahan excepting the cne
of false imprisonment and the new euse ot
perjury. It is understood that the county
attorney will endeavor to bring the alleged
kidnaper to trial on the charge of false
Imprisonment In the event of hi failure
to secure a conviction In the perjury case,
which is set for preliminary hearing on
May 2T.
"We have now reduced the total amount
of bonds necessary for Callahan's rclcast
from $S,500 to JS.WK)." said one of the at
torneys, "and we will probably lake him
out of Jail sometime thts week."

Bond.
Before Judge Carland and a Jury In fed
eral court tht case of Farson, Leach & Co.
against Douglas county was taken up. The
plalntlrTb are Chicago money brokers. In
December, 1B97, they bought at a competl
tlvt- sale county funding bonds of the face
value of JHU.OOO, for which they asreed to
pay $195,327.
They deposited a $500 check with the
county commissioners bb a guaranty of the
performance of their contract to purchase,
but after having submitted the bonds and
the accompanying documents to their at
torney in Chicago, tbey declined to accept
them, as the attorney rendered an opinion
that according to the certificate that ac
companied the bonds tbey bad not received
a sufficient vote ot the electors of the
county.
The question raised by the attorney's
opinion was submitted to the supreme court
of this state and the bonds were held good,
but Instead of furnishing a copy ot the
opinion to Farson, Leach & Co., the com
missioners sold the bonds to the State
Board of Educational Lands and Funds for
tl90.210.50 and declared the $500 check ot
Farson, Leach & Co, forfeited.
Farson, Leach & Co. Lsscrt that after the
supreme court held the bond good a copy
of the opinion should have been filed with
them and the bonds delivered. They say
that they had arranged a sale of the bonds
to the Northw-estern Mutual Life Insurance
company for $158,000, and the failure to de
liver them entailed a loss upon them of
$:.6"5 In addition to the $'.00 check, and
they have sued for $3,173 The county files
a counter claim for damages, alleging that
the failure of Farson, Leach & Co, to live
up to the torras of their bid caused a loss
of $3,015, so thot after the amount of the
check is deducted the county asks Judg
ment for $2,516.
