MI hopkihs regretted that he had not
been called upon before Mr.. Payne had

He spoke warmly and heartily Of the city
and was Enthusiastically applauded.
Mr.. Hicks VIII Join Hands.
Councilman Hicks OF Pennsylvania was
the next speaker, and expressed his appre.
citation Of the delightful entertainment
which these gatherings afforded He said
that anything which would tend to beautify
the national capital ought to meet with a
response from every true American He
Ieierred TO what President Noyes said as
70 the influence OF Washington In unifyinG
the national life. and he said the thorough
Americanism OF that speech reached his
heart, as ne was sure IL did the hearts OF
an ne spoke OF the great stress now upon
tne american people. and their calmness
IN waiting for a certain verdict before so-
ing ahead. In conclusion, he said tho ma

Mr.. Thurston n Alderman.
Senator Thurston OF Nebraska was in
troduced by President Noyes as Alderman
Thurston. and the latter responded with
a. very effective speech He said he had
been accustomed to hear many speeches
al both ends of the Capitol, but for the
nrst time last evening he had sat patiently
Wmie addresses were being made. He said
ne belonged to the branch of the common
council OF the city of Washington which
never cuts down an appropriation, whether
~ was Tor Washington or ANYTHING else
by simply asking. he said. an amendment
Tor any amount could be put on the appro-
priatfon bill I'm the Senate
amid much laughter he said the parsi-
monious. niggardly men the citizens OF
Washington had TO deal with are the mem
bers OF the common council The member.
OF that body seemed to imagine he
added, that they. of all the represcn-
tatives OF the people. are sponsors for
public enonomy. He added that perhaps
one explanation of the generosity on the
part of the aldermen Is the belief that The
amendments which they grant will never
get through the common council
In more serious vein the senator said
the people throughout the country are I'm
favor of q more liberal appropriation for
the city Of Washington. They have come
to love their national capital. He said that
there was No truer lover OF Washington
than himself. and none more willing TO do
what was just and fair for the city. He
looked upon the nations capital the
typical American city.
Excites the Pride Of All.
The last speaker OF the evening was
Councilman King OF Utah. He said that
the youngest state in the Union felicitates
with the oldest states over the grandeur
and magnifcence OF this city. He referred
in humorous way to what Represents tive
Payne had said about members OF Con-
gress talking too much, and said IL Mr..
Payne belonged to the minority I'm the
House perhaps he would not be of that
mind. He then went on to speak of come
OF the dangers which threaten the future
n he try
lation OF wealth, which had proved so fatal
to nations in the past, and said care shos I'D
be taken to see that the rights OF the peo-
pie are protected. In conclusion he said
this city was the pride of the east yieil
as Of the west.
