great significance and. as is well known.

making extensive preparations for the ceIe-
brdtion OF the opening of the new century
ny holding an exposition. For some time
past the attention of citizens of the Dis
trict has been called privately to the i'm
portance of properly celebrating these
events in this city. and the idea has met
with so much favor that a large number
of representative citizens have agreed to
lend all possible aid Such favorable pro-
gress has been made that 1t is expected
meeting will soon be called, when plan
of celebration will be considered. and if It
Is so decided some organization will be eff
