OPENING SESSION.
Interesting Gathering Last Even
ing in the Peoples Church.
Evening session was held in the Peo-
pies church, and the entire seating
capacity was occupied. 1t was an i'll
spring sight the multitude of hand
some and intellectual faces, the bright,
tasteful summer attlreS, and the ami
mated scene of oscillating fans. 1t was
late audience, and the organ solo was
not PLAYED by S. A. Baldwin until 8:15.
No business was transacted further
than the announcement of committees
and the like. The address of the even
ing was delivered by Prof. b. l.. Wig
gins, of the University OF the South,
SeWanee, Tenn. 1t was an able address,
and fraught with especial interest to
the 1000 teachers present. Bishop
Gilbert made the opening prayer, and
President Garfield congratulated the
association upon the good fortune that
attends its session in the great North
west. The association has a great deal
to be congratulated upon, he asserted.
One of the principal things for congratr
ulation. he essayed, was the handsome
and commodiouS auditorium OF the
Peoples church. Indeed, he felt no
hesitancy in pronouncing it the best in
which the association has ever met.
The welcome in st. Paul had been OF
the most cordial nature. The asst
ISOLATION had been more than well
comed-thrice, ten times welcomed

troduced Supt. Bradley, of the Minner
apoIis schools, and in so doing created
considerable laughter by announcing
that Supt. Bradley was from ''the else

Supt. Bradley was in happy frame,
and facetious Withal. He touched upon
the relations of the Twin Cities with
rare tact and good humor. His office,
of course, was to extend an invitation
to the thousands of teachers to visit the
Flour City, and he promised the most
Generous Hospitalities
and most considerable attention from the
gailants of that city. He said:
If you have friend who has pair Of
twins. YOU know that both of those twins
must be seen. They are always on exhibit
ton. Now if goods are to be shown it can
be accom- lished by exhibiting samples Not
so with twins: they must both be seen. One
must see the whole lot.
Further on in his remarks he declared
that Minneapolis has one distinguishing
feature-a feature that is not enjoyed
by any other city in the entire universe.
1t is near st. Paul! He proceeded:
Some people may tell you that Minnie ana
Paul have their spats. but l don't want you
to believe too much of these. have lived
here four years. and / have known of but
one, and don't think that it is going to be
very serious. Minnie is No longer baby;
she is a large girl now, and she IS always
proud of her brother Paul.
Mr.. Bradley then continued his adj
dress of invitation, explaining many OF
the arrangements that have been eff
fected for the reception in Minneapolis.
Supt. Deufel, of Duluth. was uext in

Zenith City of the Unsalted Sea. He
