WASHINGTON, Nav 21.-The cere-
monies incidental to the dedication
of the Luther statue, which stands
in front of the Memorial Lutheran
Church, were concluded this after
noon. when the statue was formally
unveiled.
The exercises took place at a plat
form. built about the pedestal, which
covered the entire parking in front
of the church, and when the eXer.
cises began the 1900 seats provided

were standing on the walks and II
the streets.
Directly in front Of the statue were
seated the speakers, and above then
was stretched a canvas as pro.ec
tio7 from the sun. A blue cord was
suspended mt one side and was con
necled with the American flag, which
concealed the statue from view.
Justice Miller presided, in the aD
sence of the Chiet-J ustice, who wa'
detained by sickness. Seated neaI
him were the speakers, the Officers

including prominent Lutheran cler
gymen from several States.
The exercises commenced with
the rendition of "The Heavens art
Telling" by the marine band. Prayel
was then offered by Rev. f. W. Con
rad, of Philadelphia. A brief bu
interesting history Of the statue was
then read by Rev. J. G. Butler, Il
whose untiring efforts the success o
the movement which eliminated II
the erection of the statue, is largely
due.
This was followed by VolkmanI
"Organ Sonta" by the band.
Senator Conger of Michigan, de
livered the address of the day, ans
Rev. }. 5. Morris, d. D., spoke a
some length.
The cord attached to the flag GOV
ering the statue was then pulled, ant

rendered Luther's famous "Battl
Hymn"
The ceremonies were brought to I
close with the Benediction, pre-
nounced by Rev. DR.. Albert, of Phil
adelphia.

from the county, outside Of Wilkes

fused and seven were withdrawn

Leaps Into Fire.

Do BoIs, Pa, May 20.-Daniel
Bloom. son of well-bnown Pike
township farmer, committed suicide
in a singularly horrible manner to-
day He was young man aged
about twenty-five years, and ior
some time past has been morose and
moody. On several occasions he has
exhibited signs of incipient insanity,
and the family were fearful that he
would take his own life. His father
had been clearing piece of ground,
and was burning a huge heap OF
stumps, and, to-day, in company
with his son, visited the field to see
how the fires were coming on. The
old gentleman had strayed IA short
distance from his son, when he was
startled by an unearthly cry, and
turned just in time to see the boy
throw himself into the flames. He
FASTENED to his rescue, and dragged
the body from out the fire. but his
assistance had come too late, and
the boy, after suffering but a few mo-
ments, died in his arms.
