gift 20 he human race. In the navl-
gators imple christian piety he kneit
and kissed the virgin soil. Then
turning to those brave men who had
come with him across the unknown
sea, he said. 1t is not we who have
discovered, but God who has given this
land to the oppressed" Then they
sang the Te Deum, Il song of praise.
Thus the travail of the ages was to
produce man, and the incessant work
of man has been to discover or devise 4
form of government best adapted to
his necessities and development. 1t is
our boast that the American Constitu-
tion is the grandest product of human
wisdom known to history. When
Gladstone pronounced it 'the most
wonderful work struck off at a given
time by the brain and purpose of man."
he paid fitting eulogy to its trainers.
When that constitution was adopted not
many of the statesmen in the old world
belived that 1t would survive the eight
eenth century. The shores of time
have been strewn with the wrecks OF
nations. Few are the dynasties
that nave endured one hundred
years with 50 little change, except
i'll the way of development, as has
been experienced in the United States
since the adoption of the constitution.
Looking back upon the long century
we see that the thirteen small colonies
of England that bivouacked along the
shores of the Atlantic have become a
mighty family of independent States,
stretching from ocean to ocean, and
from the line of the st. Lawrence TO
the Gulf of Mexico. The colonial pop
ulation of 1900, 900 has been increased
to g., 900, 900. The republic is no
longer an experiment. 1t has with
stood foreign war and survived civil
strife. The development of national
wealth has been beyond parallel. Ag-
riculture. manufactures, commerce, in
dustry, have grown to stupendous pro-
portions.
In 1900 railroads and telegraphs
steam navigation and lightning COM
munication were unknown. Public
libraries had not been instituted, and
the yearly almanac supplied the want
of the daily newspaper. The nine
teenth century will cover the grandest
achievements in science, if not in art
and literature, that the world has ever
known. Even the last half century
has produced, in America, the greatest
ls bor-saving inventions of civilization
the mower and yepner..thp. >se's"ine
horseshoe machine, the grain elevator,
the telephone, the electric magnet.
Scores of cities have sprung up, dot
ting the face of the country, and be-
coming magnificent centers of busi-
ness within a score of years What
will the twentieth century see? The
Worlds Columbian exposition may an
swer the question in part. 1t will in
all its grandncss of conception tell MS
what our posterity will see one hum
dred years hence, whether the consti-
tuition will still live, whether progress
is perpetual.

Columbian exposition by William Har-
rison Bradley, United States Consul AZ
that city. Touching its history Mr..
Bradley writes, as follows: I'm De
Bry's Grands Voyages, Part V, ap-
pears an engraving of Columbus of
which De Pry says that it was engraved
from copy in his possession, of the
portrait painted during the life Of CO.
lumbus under the instructions of Fer
dinand and Isabella. This original
picture, afterwards stolen from the
Casa de las Indias and taken to the
Netherlands, was copied by an artist
of De Bry's acquaintance, and from
this copy the engraving appearing IN
the Voyages was made, toward the end
of the sixteenth century. At this
time, as later, France was the great
art collector of Europe, and the picture
went where so much of artistic and
historic value was being collected, for
we find Imbert de Lonne, a man Of
letters and the trusted physician OF
the royal family, facing the terrors of
Paris during the Revolution Of 1889 to
purchase, at a sale of royal effects,
keepsakes of the family he had served.
Among the articles purchased by him
was this picture of Columbus. and the
person from whom purchased it had
received the painting from the grand
daughter of De Lonne."
The origin of the other portraits are
as follows: =. Portrait of Columbus,
by CogoletO. 3. Portrait of Columbus
donated in 1862 to the municipality Of
Genoa by the sculptor Giambattista
Cevasco. (. Portrait in oil of Column

dadt of the Grand Admiral. 5. Por-

OF July, and the citizens of Austin
joined en- masse to do honor to the oc-
casion. Many of the business houses
closed all day in order to give their
employees much needed rest, while
the balance Of them closed up
at noon. Fun and amusement was
the order of the day, and
picnics, excursions and pleasure par
ties held their sway supreme. The
largest event of the day was the
picnic and barbecue given at Hyde
Park under the auspices of the
Butchers association. All day long
the electric cars were crowded to
their utmost capacity carrying people
to the park, it being estimated that
there were between six and seven
thousand persons on the grounds
in the course of the day.
The amusements were varied

| CouuGy treasurer Eu Anderson was
selected as the time keeper for all the
events, it being said that as long as
he had not run off to Canada with the
county's funds, he would be honest
enough to keep the time fairly and
squarely for all parties concerned.
The best time made was that of East
land, So seconds, it being somewhat
slower than the best time made at
the picnic one year ago, that
of j. B. Moore who had
his steer down and tied in AZ 1-2 sec
onds. In this connection The STATES
MAN cannot refrain from referring to
the chivalric conduct of Mr.. Will Nc.
Clintock. In few seconds after Ieav-
ing the pen he had his rope over his
steers horns. The animal, how
ever, ran in among the car
riages massed around the field
and to have thrown it, as
he could easily have done, would have
been to endanger the lives of many
people. He therefore let his steer run
on and roped him after he had lost
considerable time.
THE BALL.
At night the festivities of the day
gave place to a grand ball on the plat
form at the park, in which all the
butchers, their wives and daughters
and many friends participated. The
pleasures thereof were protracted un.
til late hour, and proved source of
lasting enjoyment to all.
THE AUCTION SALE.
The sale Of lots by the Missouri.
Kansas and Texas Land and Town
company proved most successful. but
the crowd present at the bidding was
not as large as might have been ex-
pected, owing to the many other at.
fractions in the park. The sale
lasted only an hour, but dur
ing that time eighty-four lots
were sold, aggregating about $4,000
One hundred dollars in cash pre-
nimums was offered for some of the
lots bid off at the sale and another
party was offered 500 advance on two
ots bid off at the sale. There were
also several private sales made during
he day, one to a party who
will build good residence at once.

barbecued meat, bread, fish, pickles,
water and coffee were
spread in profusion. All of
food was prepared lin the most excel

by the immense crowd. After dinner
the visitors scattered all over the
spacious grounds and amused them
selves in various ways until o'clock
when the event of the day, the cattle
roping contest came off. The sport
was of the most exciting nature pos
