Welsh people Of the state for the ma

dedicated tonight. The seating capac-

was crowded. A chorus of 500 voices
and a number of prominent soloists
made up the programme. The fea-
ture was the dedicatory address deliv
cred by Senator Teller. AS the SEN
ator had been asked not to confne
himself entirely to the dedication, and
to speak on political topics, it was
expected that he would make some
definite statement as to his position.
In this the audience were not disap-
pointed.
The senator, on taking the platform,
received an ovation, the immense aud

him and cheering him repeatedly The
speech was frequently interrupted by

Queen jeans reign came 10 an end
yesterday amid the blare of martial
music and the tread of marching feet,
and this morning we are again ruled
by the sweet spirit of Liberty, who,
personated by Mrs. Harry Young Jen-
nings, resumed sway again in this
dear land OF ours.
We had a good time under the rule
OF Queen Jean, and should miscnance
ever befall the republic and the people
be compelled to submit 10 the domIn-
ion of a temporal monarch, which il
never will be, in all human probabil-
ity, then may the person who claims
the divine right to rule and direct The
actions of tie people, be as liberal as
she has been.
Carping critics have criticised the
fair young woman who has held the
difficult position for the past three
days-althoUgh they were few indeed,
and none of them 1--we in Salt Lake
city-and on the part of one nameless
creature, whose past career has been
such as to render him an object Of
disgust and loathing in the vicinity
where he is tolerated, some very un-
kind remarks have been made concern
ing her ability to earn a livelihood as
an honest and energetic young woman
should. However, the febrile express
sions he has INDUCED in has only
served TO intensity the admiration Of
the people here Tor her, and she leaves
the throne of festivity she has Graced
so Wei with naught but the good
wishes of the people where she has
her home, and those who have gath
cred to pay the cause she represented,
the homage so justly due.
For three days, under the dominion
of the fair young queen, this city has
been clad in gala attire. The strains
Of music have resounded from early
morning until the shadows of evening
fell, and the would-be sleeper, tired
with the eXeTtions of the day in seek
ing enjoyment, has gone to rest with
the tones Of sweet melodies to lull him
to repose.
Queen Jean, however, represents a
monarchy. and even though that mon
archy was called Carnival, and stood
for nothing except all the pleasures
in life which could possibly be at
tanned, the people of this nation tire
OF the dominion and sway of mon
archs and seek the better rule which
comes from the edict of those who
ito secure these rights. institute gov
ernments among men, deriving all
their just powers from the consent of
the governed"
And as this government was the re-
suit OF an appeal to arms and the
Lord of Hosts, it was fitting that

Queen Jean should see, first, the ar
mics which, trampling over her do
mains, informed her that her reign had
come to an end, the warriors being
followed by the sweet spirit of Free
dom. in all her pristine beauty.
Vale, Queen Jean. Hail and fare
we'll. We are the better for your short,
but eminently successful triumph. AS
the years come and go, there will be
hundreds and thousands of hearts
which will beat in loving remembrance
Of The time when you were their SOW
ereirn. and will unite in one grand
responsive pulsation that your fancy's
mirror will hold up to you as beauti-
ful q picture as they beheld.

PAYSON,. Utah. July 4.-Payson's cele-
bration of the national holiday today was
a success in nearly every particular, not

tai. The arrangement committee did hard
work. A large representation Of unions
and trades composed the parade from 8
o'clock until Ii a. m. Mss Dora McBeth
was Goddess of Liberty in A float repre-
senting the industries of farming and min
ing; Miss Nellie Douglass was queen Of
Utah, Silver Star State" while the thir-
teen colonies were represented by car
of thirteen of Payson's young ladies. A
car carrying forsy-five small girls repre-
senting the Union was a beautiful spec
tacle. The town council led the procession
followed by Payson Champion Silver

were marching in the long column of car
riages followed with citizens.
Eorsemen and Odd Fellows were in the
parade. The assembly met at the city

was had during which many salutes were
fired in honor of the Union.
Many people came from adjoining towns
and the city is alive.

of the executive committee followed in
carriages and were in turn followed
by number of city and county Of
fcials in vehicles.
GODDESS OF LIBERTY.
To William Roilo Grant, commanding
the third division, fell the honor of
commanding the division, the third,
which had the float of the Goddess of
Liberty. This was preceded by Held S
band. The float was a beautiful affair.
1t was decked with the national colors
and the fair goddess herself, a perfect
picture of the ideal Columbia, both as
to face and dress, with the ever pres
ent emblem of the shield which is
Americas strength-the stars and
stripes-at her side, and surrounded
by young ladies representing the
various states, made pictur2 never
to be forgotten. The national troops
and the National Guard were honored
greatly by the multitude, but the ova-
ton the liberty float received was such
that the others fail to be worthy of
mention, when comparison is made.
All along the line she was the recipient
Of a tumult of genuine, old fashioned
enthusiasm and applause.
The old veterans were honored too,
when they came along. They were a
grizzled lot of old warriors, some of
them appearing in the uniforms which
were worn during the dark days of 81
to '65, with Harper's Ferry muskets
and Hardee bayonets, and they bore
their honors as bravely as they endured
the fatigues Of the Wilderness, or the
awful charges made by Longstreet,
Lee and Pickett on the heights at
Gettysburg. Aaron S. Post, one of the
company, was kept busy doing the old
'sergeants salute" in response to the
many rounds of applause which the
float received, until weary and worn
of standing at attention" on a wab-
bling wagon, he procured a substitute
CROSSING THE DELAWARE"
The float, washington Crossing the
Delaware, was very clever concep-
ton OF that historical painting every
one IN America is familiar with The
Washington of the float was a. clever
imitation of the man who was "first
in war, first in peace and first in the
hearts of his countrymen, and the de-
signer of the same was exceedingly
happy in his details of the work. This
float also created a profound sensation.
and was warmly received.
KNIGHTS OF THE MACCAREEs
The Knights of the Maccabees an
peared mounted in much stronger
force than they did on the first day
OF the carnival. The members of the
order have a very neat uniform and
their fine appearance was commented
upon very favorably by all who viewed
the parade. The order is growing in
this city and its interest in the sue
cess OF the carnival will assist it ma
terially.
AMERICAS MAGMA CHARTA.v
A group of men in float, dressed in
old Continental style, and representing
the signing of the Declaration of indie
pendence. was received with cheers all
along the line. In fact every float
which contained the mere suggestion
of patriotic sentiment was roundly APP
pdauded. This float was especially
good, the representation of John Han
cock and Benjamin Franklin being so
true to the portraits we have of those
notables as to be at once recognized.
