Anderson, to whom was referred the case
of certificate holders against the broken
endowment order named 1.-THE Annual
Friend" has made his report OF findings
on the evidence taken before him ~ mas
ter. The report was made to Mayor Hick-

DeCourcey of Lawrence; attorneys repre-.
senting the exsupreme officers, and B. ID.
O'Donnell, the attorney for the certificate
holders.
Master Auderson's report was made in
private, but one of the lawyers present
says that the finding was that the manage
ment of the affairs had been unfaithful
and bad The supreme officers took un-
duly large sums ior salaries. The sureties
on their bonds were worthless. Some OF
the officers bought up certificates In their
private capacity for $40 each. and voted
themselves 500 on each one out Of the
treasury. In this way thousands Of doi-
lars disappeared.
After hearing the arguments on the re-
port Mr.. Anderson will make his report to
the superior court. 1t is quite likely that

Among all the centuries IL stands alone.
With hearts filed with gratitude TO the
God OF our fathers, IL Is well that we re-
call something OF the progress o. the young
Republic since the masterful hour when
Washington laid bis hands upon the foun
dation stone OF yonder Capitol.
The seven years OF colonial struggle for
liberty had terminated In glorious victory.
Independence bad been achieved. The ar

FELLow CITIZENS OF THE UNITED STATES:
The exercises of today are fitting. close
OF the series of centennial celebrations of
the most important events In our revolu-
tionary history.
Celebrations which have presented viv.
idly to the present generation the courage
of our ancestors in winning our liberties,
and their wisdom in forming a system Of
government which as proved q safeguard
of the invaluable possession. From the
skirmish at Lexington on the 10Th of April,
1775, TO the Both OF April, 1889, when
Washington was inaugurated as the first
President under the Federal Const tuition,
the most important events have been made
to pass In panorama before our eyes And
now il becomes us to celebrate the hun
dreth anniversary OF the laying OF the cor
ner-stone of this magnificent capital, the
permanent home of the government of this
great nation, aud thus TO complete the
roll-call OF the events which established us
among the nations OF the earth.
For more than a century we have dem
onstratrd as no other people have ever
done before, our capacity for self-govern-
ment. Our Federal system has been tested
In peace and in war, and by violent forces
from without and from within, yet every
n bre has stood the strain, and It's perfect
adaptation to our needs under all circum-
stances has been demonstrated.
"God Bas Blessed U.s.
When we consider the enlarged extent of
our territory the increase of our popula-
ton, our progress In the arts and sciences,
In commerce., in wealth and in knowledge,
we are forced to exclaim: "Godha blessed
us, and has made His face 10 shine upon
us"
When we remember the great men who
have shed lustre ON this Capitol during the
past century, as Prcsidents. legislators and
jurists, we can justly claim an eminence
Tor our republic which has not been ex-
celled, II ever equallcd, by any other nation
OF this or any other age.
Filled with the patriotic spirit OF our
founders, may those who administer the
government come year by year TO this
Capitol, and by wisdom In counsel do con-
