tended. The exercises were of a most in
teresting character. Miss May BLY, pre-
sided at the organ.
Judge G. F. Stones readings from Whit
tier on the subject of Thanksgiving were
excellent, both as regards the selections
and the delivery.
Mrs. Hale's essay on the subject Of "The
most important event of the year" was a
very unique and original production. She
descanted on the subject of fsmarriages, as
well as the births in Olympia. One gentle
man in the audience was SO well pleased
when the lady referred to his little cherub,
that he laid his mite down at the readers
side, on the little stand in front of the
president under the drippings Of the sane
tuary.
The feature of the occasion was the
very able and interesting remarks of the
Rev Thomas Nan Ness, who held his
appreciative audience spell-bound for one
hour and fifteen minutes. He began by
describing the entrance of the steamer in
which he took passage into the harbor Of
st. Petersburg, how it appeared that there
were two suns in the distance, that a for
eigner going to the czar's domains does not
find it near as difficult or annoying to pass
inspection as one would coming into the
United States, that newspaper reports
coming through British channels on this
subject are exaggerated and sensational,
because the English do not Like Russians
andreporters for the press Of that country
have desire to send sensational news
abroad. Mr.. Van Ness described very
graphically the place where Alexander II.
was assassinated in 1880. The speaker gave
a good description of the czars stables and
said that it cost about million Of dollars
annually in American money to keep
things up. The account of the visit to the
Tolstoi residence was exceedingly enter
tanning. After the lecture vote Of thanks
was rendered to the speaker The session
