LAST OF THE EXPOSITION.
Prof. BaiIey's Remarks-what Shall be
Done With Our Exhibit.

Prof. Bailey returned last night from
Denver, having witnessed the dying
struggles Of the great exposition. He
says that although a financial failure
and not largely attended by the mass. of
the people, its attendants were largely
men interested in mining, who were
much interested in the Wyoming ex-
hibit, which he thinks will bear good
fruit in the future. His response to
the toast "Wyoming," was an able
effort, and was listened to with much
interest. The News speaks Of it az
follows:
The toast "Wyoming'' brought the
commanding form of Prof. G. E. Bal
ley, Wyoming's g~eologist, before the
audience, who said:
Ladies' and Gentlemen-As 1 stand
before you to-day my mind goes back
to a time years ago, when 1 was intro
duced before another audience, when a
child in the arms of its mother said, in
language loud enough to be heard half
wei the room, mamma, L hope that
big fellow won't talk long," 1 will
oblige you by not speaking long at this
time. The commissioners came this
and last year to lay before us their treas
ures, and on this they have added
pumpkin pies. In Wyoming, it is true
we are some pumpkins, but we are not
all pumpkins, nor are we overly pious.
The professor then, related an amusing
anecdote in which a fellow attempted
to make a speech and began it by say
ing: "Twenty years ago the place
where 1 now stand was a bowling
wilderness" and after repeating this
sentence several times, finding himself
unable to proceed further, screamed
out. "And L wish it was bowling yet"
Now the place 1 represent is not. a
bowling wilderness, but it was twenty
years ago, nor do L wish it was now
In fact, weIdo not howl much in Wyo.
ming, except in cases where Matches
try to steal all our parks. 1t has been
said that Wyoming is the land OF
plain ,lonlyI6t for cattle raising. Then
the professor proceeded to portray the
magnificent of Wyoming, its
liberal laws, its culture, enterprise, etc.
rejecting credit upon the ability of the
speaker, and proving conclusively thai
Wyoming put the right man forward in
sending Professor Bailey to the expo
sition.
Mrs. Bailey will remain in Denver
for a week or 80, arranging the exhibit,
which the exposition managers have
kindly consented to care for so long as
the building remains unused.
Now that the Denver exposition has
closed the question naturally arises in
the minds of those who have the good
Of the territory at heart, what is to bt
done with the Wyoming exhibit Il
comprises one of the finest collections
of minerals in existence, which has ro-
quired years to gather, and it would be
an act Of gross negligence on the part
of the people Of the territory not to
provide some suitable place where it
could be placed on exhibition for the
benefit OF strangers coming to the terri
tory and others interested in Wyo-
ming's welfare. The value of the col
lection is almost inestimable, Professor
Bailey considering it n of the most
valuable in existence.

The work or the Bible society,

1 take from an address to the people
Of the United States by the board of
managers of the American bible society,
dated New York city, June l, 1882, the
following facts, dseming they may not
be without interest to the public:
The American bible society was Or
ganized in 1916.
In 1829-30 the first general supply of
the United States with the bible was
begun and carried through; population
at that time nearly $4,000. 000.
In 1856 was begun the second general
supply; population, 26, 500, 600.
In 1866, with a population of almost
7 1000, 600, the third general distribu-
ton was commenced.
Now, with nearly $1,000, 900 people,
.hirty-eight states and nine territories,
the fourth general supply is progress
ing, being the largest ever attempted
for the distribution of the sacred scrip
lures in any land.
During 1872 the whole number of
families visited by pastors and private
distributors, agents of auxiliary bible
societies, and the one hundred and sixty
paid colporteurs of the society, was 714,-
636; of these, Ill 932 were found with
out tine scriptures, and 81, 995 we're sup
piled, in addition to 46, 430 persons not
embraced in these families. The desti-
tuition thus discovered and supplied
embraces large districts of the south,
west and southwest.
Between 1872 and 1882 the number
of families visited was 5000, 1888, of
whom 1923 ia were destitute of the
scriptures; and of these 4Sl 1920, in ad-
dition to 255, TIC individuals not in
cluded in them, were furnished with
the word Of God, by sale or by dona-
ton.
The American bible society is the
recognized head of all other bible socie-
ties in the country, having on its regis
ter about two Thousand auxilaries, and
these have more than five thousand
branch organizations.
1 will but add that this society is
entirely unsectarian, publishing the
bible ''without note or comment;' that
it is supported by voluntary contribu-
tions, in the main; that bibles are never
sold above cost. but often given away,
and that since its work began about
Is, 900 bibles, prepared with raised let
ters for the blind, have been circulated,
In great part gr~atuitously, inasmuch as
the blind as a class are unable to pur-
chase. JOHN W. BIssELL.

The Presbyterian fair and supper to-
night.
The receipts of the Methodist sup
per last week amounted to about nine

enty dollars. About fifty persons took
supper.

decidedly gay last night. The supper
was enjoyed too. 1t continues to-
night.
John Erich, formerly of Denver,
has opened a new restaurant at the cor

and fitted it up very elegantly. Mr..
Erich has a good reputation in Denver
as a caterer and will doubtless sustain
it here.
DR.. Maynard spent four days at the
Denver exposition, engaged most of the
time in impounding the Of
our territory to eager listeners. The
doctor is a firm believer in the future
prosperity of Wyoming, and his efforts
may result in bringing no little capital
to this section in the future.
Tickets for the Langrishe company
tonight and tomorrow night have not
sold as well as they should have done,
considering the character of the enter
tainment. The papers everywhere
characterize the company as a good
one, and those who attend will undoubt-
be well entertained.

sLAcK HILLS NOTES.

Several days ago an engine on the
Northern Pacific railroad set fire to the
grass sixty miles below Dickerson, a
station between Miles City and Bis
marck, east of the Little Missouri, and
since then it has spread and burned
over an immense seopa of-ecuntry.
We fear that if SNOW or rain does
not soon fall, it will do an irreparable
damage to stock on the ranges. The
country this side of it is full of buffalo,
and they will have to seek other pas
lures.
1t has been rumored that hunters
were proposing to fire the grass to pre-
vent the buffalo from coming south on
to the reservation, but we take no
stock in any such talk, as they are not
the men who would do such a thing,
where there was nothing for them to
gain by it. The Indians can follow
buffalo as well as white men, they have
had equally as much experience, and
know no distance when on a hunt OF
foray.-Deadwood Times.

The New German Treaty.

special 10 COMMERCIAL dafette,
WASHINGTON, January l4.-Repre
sentative Deuster referring to the
resolution reported by him from the
Foreign Affairs Committee to provide
for a treaty Of naturalization with the
German Empire for the better pro
lection OF the rights of American
citizens in the German Empire, said
that when the present treaty was con-
cluded, ia 1868, it was rightly consid-
cred an achievement OF American
diplomacy. By it Prussia admitted
the right Of extradition. Article | of
the treaty provides that the citizens Of
the North German Confederation who
became naturalized citizens Of the
United States, and who resided five
years 10 the United States, should By
the Confederation be treated as
American citizens. Reciprocally ,citi-
Eens from the United States who be.
come naturalized, and resided five
years 10 North Germany, should be
treated by the United States as citi-
Sens of the North German Confed-
GRAFTON. The article applies as
we'll TO those already n~aturalixed
in either country as those hereafter
naturalized. Article 4 provides that
ifs German, naturaliEed in America,
renews lis residence in North Ger.
many without the intent to return to
America, he shall be held to have re.
nounced his naturalization in the
United States; reciprocally the same
is agreed upon ia behalf of American
citizens renewing their residence in
America.
Since the treaty was made, in 1863,
the German Empire has come into ex
I%stence. and experience has also shown,
In the belief OF many persons, that a
new treaty could provide more def
nitely, not only against abuses Of citi-
zenship, but for the protection of those
who are bona 6de citizens. The fourth
article has been made a subject Of
complaint in a number Of instances,
because it leaves it to the judgment OF
a foreign government whether AN
American citizen has abandoned his
citizenship. The United States is
bound to defend the rights of its citi.
gems, whether such be by birth or adop-
ton, while, on the other hand, they
cannot be expected to ask foreign gov
ernments to overlook abuses OF oiti-
senship, as where foreigners come
here and acquire citizenship only to
return 70 permanent residence in their
native land, misusing their American
c~ltisenship to secure to themselves
exemption from obligations in the
country Of our birth.
