If, as Mr.. Bailey stated at
Holland, our wealth increased
more rapidly from 1910 to 1860

ccivcd the people of the great city which
he systenIatiZed and adorned, last night
ut Willard Hail.
The reception to Mr.. Shepherd was the
idea of the Board OF Trade and that body
made it worthy OF the friend of the city.
The hall was rendered free OF charge by
the management of ,Willard's Hotel, and
IL was beautifully decorated with banners
by the courtesy of Mr.. NJ q. Copel1Dd.
THE Messrs. Snialls sent n whole conserva-
tory of plants and flowers and, what with
flags, tropical plants, roses, the crowd,
and music the hall was a thing of beaut y
and of enthusiastic life.
The stage was screened off from the
auditorium by splendid array of palms
and other rare plants. The occupants
OF the stage were Mrs. Shepherd and the
daughters of the Governor, with them be-
ing Judge Bradley and Mrs. Bradley. See
ing and unseen, the stage party noted
about six or seven thousand of the best
citizens OF Washing ton pass in review
before the stage.

composed the comnmitiee of the recep-
tion. These gentlemen, in full evening
dress, stood in front of the stage with its
gorgeous setting as background.
On the Governors left was Mr.. Warner
who made the introductions. When the
hall was full the proceedings were opened
with a grand burst of music. after which
Mr.. Warner made brief address.
Mr.. Warner then introduced Commits
sioncr Truesdell TO welcome the Governor
on behalf of Tie city government.
Mr.. Shepherd when about to respond was
greeted with hearty demonstration of
good feeling and appreciation. He ac-
knowiedged with becoming and charac-
tcristic modesty all the good things that
had been said about him in an equally
courteous and eloquent way.
The reception then began I'm earnest and
hegovernor was kept busy for an hour and
a half shaking hands with the thousands
who followed each other in nterminable
succession.
A part of the Washington Light Infantry
escorted him from the hotel, and when the
first corners had been received the other
members of the battalion marched in with
great applause and passed in review, sh3k-
ing hands on the fi;. The other bodies that
Were received We're the National Rifles

Every now and then as some favorite
officer or head of department stopped to
chat one or two seconds with Mr. Shepherd
the crowd would break out into applause.

to he popular thing on the programme. T
No sooner had the reception closed than
arrangements were suggested for n banquet

Opening of Hospital and Training

Philadelphia, Pa, Nov. s.-The Fred

held at the Zion Wesley A. Al. E. Church,

Charles a. Dickey, president of the Presby-
terian Hospital, making the principal ad-
dress.
To-day the hospital will be prepared
to receive accident and medical cases.
The hospital represents the successful
outcome of a movement begun among the
colared people on June % of the present
year. The guiding idea at first was to
establish an Institution where young coli
| orcd women could receive thorough
training.
In order tn accomplish this result it was
seen that 1t would be necessary tn equip
hospital, and the fact was brought out
that, save possibly for one institution,
there were no established institutions where
cOi"red persons were received as students.
A number of wofnens auxiliaries carried
on the work, with the result that the
present elegantly appointed three-story
brick building was secured and fitted up
as hospital.

Significant Statement From Senator
Quay's Most Trusted Lieutenant.
Philadelphia, Nov. S.-Just before taking
the train for Florida early yesterday morn
ing, Frank willing Leach, cha irnan OF the
executive committee OF the Republican n
State Committee, openly and emphaticaiiy
declared himself in favor of a Philadelphian
FOR United States Senator.
Thisdeclaration, coninga such lime and
in such way, will be looked upon as
significant by the politicians and is reason
ably sure to be regarded with favor by the
people. Although the election OF United
States~ Senator will not take place until
January, 1S9I. a deep interest has already
been manifested in the subject.
Mr.. Lea cll' eclaration comes with greater
force by reason of the hard work he has
done not only in the fight for Senator
Quay, but in the active management OF the
State campaign.
\ little incident which occurred day or
two before the departure of Senator Quay
indicates the esteem in which that astute
politician regards his lieutenant. Quay's
room was crowded and a newspaper man
who was preseDt said to the Senator
"Senator, now that you are through
with the hard work, what do you think
the ma iority will be?''
why" was the quick reply, "you will
have to ask Leach that question. He is
the man who has done the hard work and
lie ought to have the knowledge. He has
been running this campaign"
When asked directly his opinion in regard
to the Senatorship Mr.. Leach replied:
Il can only say this: Philadelphia
should demand and should receive recogni-
tion. This city has never been represented
in the Senate, / believe. We have one
fifth of the entire Republican vote OF the
state, and we should make a strong fight
for the place. i have no personal choice,
