CLASS TREE EXERCISES.

Tuesday was one of the most pleasant
days of the week, and at 9 o'clock q
number of people assembled on the
school grounds to hear the Class Tree
Exercises The audience was composed
largely of students and their parents and
friends. Resident Director Barr and
II. B. Wilson, President of the State
Normal Board were present; also Rev,
B. G. Coffin, Window, and Supt. Levens
Albert Lea. The exercises were held
Just in front of the building, and were
presided over by the class president, L
/. Bargen. The first exercise was the
class history by Miss Mary Coffin. II
was written in Miss Collins lively and
most original style and gave a short &C
count of the school life of each member
of the class, and brief analysis of the
character Of each.
The Misses Babcock and Seigneuret
and Messrs. LANCE and Jefferson then
sang a ouartette "Maple Tree Prophecy.
The prophecies Of Miss Vinette Bah
cock were original and amusing. The
education and civilization of the world
are to be materially advanced by THU
class. The proph ecies were followed 10y
a poem by the class poet, Miss Lors
Levens.
Remarks from members Of the faculty
we're called for and Profs. Soaring anc
Bechdolt responded.
President Soaring announced that thu
class had presented the institution will

The RnssInn Mecca.

The news that the czar will go at once
to Moscow for the purpose of thence is
suing the declaration of war against
England, should this extreme step bo-
come necessary, will have the effect Of
exciting general interest in this Won
derful city, for to the old Russian, Mos
COW is what Mecca is to the Mohamme-
dan, or Jerusalem to the Christian. The
average Russ is not yet able to discover
the church from the state, and this fact
being well known to the czars, has en-
abled them to utilize the religion Of
the people in forwarding their own po-
litical ends, Hence, rs Moscow is the
religious center of Russia, the rulers
have often given an unusual weight TO
their DEGREES by issuing them from
Moscow. The cznr, in declaring war
from the Kremlin instead of the COM
paratively new capital founded by Pc
ter the Great, will endeavor to fro the
religious enthusiasm of his people
and call forth every energy OF the EN-
pire.
Moscow is worthy of the distinction it
enjoy of being the religious center of
the Greek faith. The Greek church
has three popes or metropolltans, but
he of Moscow is the first and hole st Of
the three, and his decisions are re-
ceived rs gospel by the Greek
faithful everywhere, The city may
be described as half church and most OF
the other half fortress, for the principal
part OF the town is the famous Krem-
lin, the old citadel, which comprises
cathedrals, churches, arsonals, palaces
and fortresses, the whole surrounded
by stupendous walls. In the kremlin
Enclosures are the cathodrals where all
the Russian emperors have been
crowned, aud where the ancestors ofthe
present car lie buried; the church
which contains as It's chief relic a piece
OF the true cross, and the monastery

that many of tho men, both here and at

The city was founded in the twelfth

yicissitudes that comparatively few
buildings OF great antiquity remain.
MOI including the Kemlin, there are

Inc Kital Gorod, or Chinese town, is
the business quarter, and has been for
over 300 years. 1t is crowded with
bazars holding the products of Europe
and Asia, and as Moscow occupies an
intermediate point between the two
continents, most of the commercial
intercourse between Russian Europe
and Siberia Is carried on in the
dark, dirty and crowded streets of this
quarter of the city. The Bell Gorod, or
White town, is between the commercial
portion of Moscow and the Kremlin. 1t
is crowded with churches, theatres and
palaces, and has many colleges aud pri-
Yate residences. Among tho churches,

city is still further emphasized by the
great university of the empire, which is

Chicago's New Board of Trade Building
Occupied.

CHICAGO, April 29.-The splendid
structure erected for the use of the Chi
cago Board of Trade at the expense of
$1,000 900 was formally dedicated this af-
ternoon. The exercises were
very simple and partook of the form OF
number of addresses, interspersed
with orchestral music. The day was
perfect, and long before the beginning
OF the programme large crowds were
thronging about the great building, or
proceeding up the broad stairs into the
main hall or trading room, kthe largest
one employed for The purpose in the
world. Here, in tho galleries, was as
sembled an audience of about 5000.
Nearly every exchange In tho union
was represented ia the audience, in
cluding delegates from England and
California. AT O'Clock Rev. Clinton
Locke, of this city, inauguI ated the
proceedings with prayer, and was fol-
lowed by John II. Bensley, chair
man of the building committee,
who formally turned over the building
to Il. Nelson Blake, president Of the
board, who responded in u short speech.
The chief address was then delivered
by Emory A. Storrs, who was followed
in short speeches by representatives of
the visiting bodies.
