the handsomely furnished apartment pro.

large room formerly used by the
Secretary Of State. When P!csl.

those elegant chairs, gazed at the light

proud OF the fact that they had done 1t
well and that every one was praising the
complete arrangements that were every
where apparent.
President Woods called Mr.. Delbrugge
to the chair, and taking the floor offered q
resolution rendering to Mr.. Reymann the
sincere thanks OF the Board for hls costly

generally agreed that the speech was a
happy effort.
The resolution was then adopted.

example Of the courts, an order be drawn
up to the effect that the Board had moved

created some discussion but finally Messrs,
