EARLY Saturday forenoon the council
chamber was filled with members OF the
Council and staff and large number
of members and officials. Governor
Powers was called in from his private
room, and while he was recovering
from the surprise of the occasion Mr..
Freeman on behalf of the council ana
Col. Stetson on behalf of the stan. pre-
scented him with the magnificent pastel
of himself, executed by Miss Flora f.
Cross of Hallowell, which has been on
exhibition in the rctunda. 1t was a
| most pleasant occasion, and spoke eio-
Quently of the cordial relations existing
between the Chief Executive and those
closest to him, and Of the high esteem,
and affection in which all hold Names
popular Governor.
In presenting the picture Mr.. free
man spoke as follows:
Your Excellency: The military staff
and the members of your Council have
wished to mark the close of this ses-
sion in some way to be pleasantly re-
membered by us all, and to congratu-
late you that these past months which,
not improbably, have entailed more

the day of the final adjournment.
The sessions of Saturday were not
filled with arduous work for the law
makers. Both bodies came to order at
10 A. NJ, with a fair attendance of
members in their seats. The halls pre-
scented a vastly changed appearance
from the previous evening. The desks

and all the debris of the mock session
had been removed. Only a few specta-
tors were present. The business of the
day was mainly the reading of lists Of
bills passed to be enacted. and resolves
finally passed, and then short recess
was on the programme until the en-
crossing department had caught UP.
Thus with several recesses. some long
and some short, the last session of the
6Sth Legislature continued until the

The anti-cigarette bill, which has
been so prominent a measure of the
session and for which 10000 petitioners
asked, was the last bill of the session
to be put through it's several readings
and passed to be engrossed. 1t re-
ceived its passage in new draft ap-
plying it only to miners, which is the
end for which it's opponents have
worked. as this takes all the teeth out
of it. 1t was introduced early in the
session, reported favorably after long
and largely attended public hearing,
and passed the House after an exciting
debate. The bill totally prohibited the
manufacture, sale or gift of cigarettes
in the State. 1t was on the table in the
House about a month. The Senate put
ION an amendment. which the House
had refused applying the law only to
miners. The House insisted on it's for
mer action. and a committee of con-
terence was appointed which reported
the bill, yesterday noon. in it's Senate
form. 1t was given passage without
any debate.

and in the Senate large part Of Sat
urday forenoon was devoted to similar
exercises. President Day, great
hearted. noble fellow that he Is, was
deeply affected by the sincerity and
earnestness. the feeling and afrection
displayed by the speakers. and when he
arose to reply to the presentation OF
the portrait he broke down completely
and could not finish his remarks. Later
after the resolutions han been adopted
by a unanimous rising vote, he was
able to express clearly and we'll the
depth Of his gratitude to his fellow
members. The resolutions OF thanks
were offered by Senator Savage OF An
droscoggin. and were seconded in able
end feeling speeches by Engel. Penob-
scot; Clason, Kennebec; Roberts, OK

Cumberland: Chamberlain, Lincoln;
arsons, Piscataquis Drummord,

The usual thanks were also offered the
secretary and other officials, and the
gavel used by President Day was pre-
scented him. A full account of the pres
entation exercises in both bodies and
of the farewell exercises In the Senate is
given in the stenographic report in an

Governor portrait Of himself at the
close of the legislative session, and it
is especially agreeable to me to be
present and take part while you are
occupying this position which is the
highest within the gift of the people of
the State. BY the largest plurality
ever given a Governor, the people OF
this State have shown their apprecia-
ton of your honesty and ability by
electing you to this high office, and it
is indeed a great pleasure to all the
members of the staff to serve with you
during your administration.
The doors of your executive cham
Der have been open to every one in the
state who may have applied to you
for assistance or information, and
your treatment has been gentlemanly
and courteous to all those who have
applied no matter from what condition
or walks of life they come.
On behalf of the staff, I wish to
thank you for the courtesies and APP
pointments extended to us all, and we
wish to thank you further for the dis
tirguished remarks you have made.
