Spoke for Kansas City.

James A. Reed, prosecuting attor-
ney Of Kansas Cnty, made the opening
speech, presenting the claims of the
metropolis of the southwest. The in
vitation he presented, he said, came
not only from the citizens of Kansas
City, but from the unfaltering, tri-
uE,phant democracy of Missouri.
Kansas City has 80 lines of railroads
and her telegraphic facilities are ex-
cellent. Her hotels are more than
ample. Outside of the great hotels of
New York there are in Kansas City
seven hotels that will rank as high as
any in the United States. The COM
mittee, he said, should have the first
choice of rooms at these hotels, the
delegates the second choice. Hotel
rates, he promised, would not be raised.
Mr.. Reed was especially fulsome in his
eulogy of the convention hall, which
he said, would seat $4,000 people.
Mflwaukee's Claims Presented.
Mayor Rose of Milwaukee presented
the claims of the Cream City. He
opened with bit of pleasantly at the
expense of Mr.. Reed. He was not the
prosecuting attorney of MilW aukee, he
said, and therefore could not offer the
convention the protection of his office.

no city's needs, and no mans ambi-
ton, as politicians in the better and
the broader sense, holding in your
hands your party's fate, whether it be
not better politics to reward friend

better to recognize past services nobly
rendered than to pay in advance upon
a promise that will never be per-

THE LYOEUM COURSE
Last Lecture of the Season by Dr. Hem
 son of Chicago

The last entertainment of the Birming- lecture at Seals hall Tuesday night by Rev. P. S. Henson, of Chicago. Dr. Hen son has long been the famous pastor of the First Baptist church of that city, and Is noted throughout the United States as a lecturer and wit He gave a lecture here few years since at the South Side Baptist church, which will never be forgotten by those who heard him. His subject was "Fools,' and the admission tickets read, Lecture by P. s. Henson on Fools --Ad. init one" The lecture was full of wit, humor and philosophy. Dr. Henson's sub ject this time will probably be "The Better Half"
 The doors of Seals hall will be open at 7:90, and the lecture will begin promptly at SIS. No reserved seats will be sold, but both members and non-members will select their own seats they come Non-mem- bers can buy admission tickets for 30 cents at Seals music store tomorrow or Tuesday, or at the hall box office Tuesday night
 The lyceum course this season has been unusually brilliant, and the entertainments have been more expressive than for either of the two previous seasons. Only one lect- ure of the course has cost less than SlO0, and the Fadette Woman. Orchestra cost $SOO. The number of memberships did not increase over the two previous seasons, and therefore the number of entertainments had to be less for this season.
 No personal canvass for lyceum member ships has ever been made All who have joined have done so of their own seeking. This accounts for the small membership. H. K. White has plan to increase the membership for another course, and there by increase the number of entertainments without sacrificing anything in quality He is now sending out circular letter te this end, and hopes the responses will be en- couraging. The expenses of lyceum Of 400 members would be no greater than for a lyceum of 200 members, but the fund to obtain lectures and musicals would be twice as great,

 SPANISH CANNON
The Programme Has Not Yet Been Ar ranged-It Will be Placed in
 Capitol Park.

While nothing definite has been decided upon as to the time for bringing to this city the Spanish cannon taken by the United States from the Cristobal Colon, Congressman Underwood informed an Age Herald reporter yesterday that the trophy would be shipped. he thought, within the next three weeks. It is now at Norfolk.
 Mayor Drennen will have the gun placed in Capitol park. He has not yet outlined a programme of ceremonies for its recep- tion, but it is believed the event will be &C., companied by appropriate exercises, mili- tary and civil.
 It has been suggested that the cannon be mounted on the pedectal which was con- strueted in the park by the Sons of Con- federate Veterans. This pedestal cost about $15O0, and is very handsome and durable.
 Rufus N. Rhodes, commander of Clayton Camp, Sons of Confederate Veterans, will call meeting of his camp next week for the purpose of taking action on the lines suggested, the pedestal being the property of that body.
