matter was thoroughly appreciated. After
the applause which Indicated the approval
of the audience had died down, President
Moves introduced with few pleasant pref
atory remarks Mr.. r. Ross Perry to speak
on the subject of the centennial celebra-
ton in 1900, and the construction or per-
manent memorial structure to commemo-
rate the event. Mr.. Perry made an ex-
tremely interesting speech, which was not
only thoughtful, but was expressed IN elo-
quent language. He said he thought bet
ter word than centennial celebration would
be that of memorials, which would pre-
serve the memory of the great men and the
noble deeds in our national history.
He said last year, when the nation was
electrified by the news of Dewey's victory,
men said that it was worthy of the best
traditions Of our navy. The spirit which
made such a victory possible, the speaker
said, was that which had animated John
Paul Jones, ID Preble. and Hull, and Law
renee and Perry, and Farragut and others
The names and deeds of these men, he said
would always live In the hearts of the
American people. So, too, with the army
which last summer made the glorious
charge up San Juan hill. 1t was, the speak
err said, the blood of Bunker HILL of LeXing-
ton, of the Wilderness and of other glorious
deeds coursing through the veins of Ameri-
can soldiers which enabled them to add
another victory to the gories of the past.
The spirit which inspired these deeds is
a part of the history Of the nation, which
should be found in memorials. In the
churches the central object of the worship
is a memorial of life which binds it to

signs as may from time to time be appoint
ed. He went on to speak of the beauty
of Washington, and said he was proud of
the city, and he added that his associates
in Congress were as proud of the city as
he is.
He spoke of B. H. Warner as the dele
gate of the District in Congress, and said
he had no doubt that the city was full of
such people, but some of them, he added,
were too modest This latter remark ex-
cited the greatest laughter.
Representative J. Hamilton Lewis.
The last speaker of the evening was Rep
resentative James Hamilton Lewis of the

weave into a beautiful rhetorical whole
several humorous stories. together with
some thoughtful observations suggested by

Representative Mercer's Remarks
President Noyes went on to say that
there was no one whose cooperation in Ii
brary matters was more whoIe-souled and
efficient than the chairman of the House
committee on public buildings, Representa-
tive d. II. Mercer. This introduction, fol-
lowed by Mr.. MERGERS appearance on the
platform brought out enthusiastic rounds
of applause, and when he could make him
self heard Mr.. Mercer gave one of his char
acteristic speeches. full of the snap and
breeziness of the west He said that he
had come to the reception as humble
member of the city council, expecting to be
scolded for what he had not done and in
strUcted as to what he ought to do. He
referred in words of communication to the
speeches to which he had listened and said
he had found that he had not been lectured
as to his duties, but had been given much
to think about
Coming to the subject of the public IL
brary he said that when a public-spirited
man offers to give to a city $250,000, with
the suggestion that he might double the
dHouit, lOi puIluliS, IL buS III liOl
to take twenty-four hours to decide wheth-
er to accept the gift. Atlanta, Ca, he said,
had, since the offer made to Washington,
received proposition from the same citi-
zen to erect a library building in that city,
and they had accepted with such alacrity
that no doubt by this time they had the
money.
Mr.. Mercer went on to say that the fault
lay not with the citizens, but with the
city's council Congress. He gave an anus
ing account of the recent experience of his
committee the floor of the House. and
aroused roars of laughter, especially from
his congressional associates, by referring
to Unanimous consent a back alley
lined with thugs and malicious persons.
Then, in more serious vein, he made the
prediction that the library bill would be
passed at the present session, and that the
proposed building would be on Mount YER
non Square. He advocated the plan of hav-
ing wide parkings on Pennsylvania avenue
with public buildings fronting on them, and
the erection Of a structure on the ground
north of the Library of Congress building,
which he termed the Palace of Justice,
which could be the home of the Supreme
Court, the Court of Claims and the Court
of Appeals of the District, with room for
the sessions of such government commits
