THE CHARLESTON EXPOSITION.
Opening Occurs Today-The Pre1imi-
 mary Exercises.


 mary Exercises.
 CHARLESTON, $. C., Dec. 2-Im- pressiye religious exercises, intended as prelude to today's opening of the South Carolina Interstate and West Indian exposition, were held at the ex- position grounds yesterday.
 The naming of Dec. 1 as the opening day of the exposition was without con- sulting the calendar, and the fact that Dec. 1 was Sunday was discovered only short time ago. It was then decided that proper way to fulfill the prom ise made ill the resolution as to the opening was to hold exercises appro- priate 10 the day.
 Ellison Capers, Episcopal bishop of South Carolina, made the invocation. A dedication ode by George Herbert Sass of Charleston and set to music by Theo Saul was sung by large chorus, accompanied by the First Artillery band.
 Addresses were made by several min isters, and the benediction was pro- nounced by Mgr. Quigley.
 The exposition will be formally open ed this afternoon. The ceremonies at the Ivory City will be preceded by 8 parade composed of marines, naval re- serves, cadets, state volunteers and va rious civic societies under the command of Lieutenant Colonel Charles Morris, U. $. A. The city is handsomely deco rated, and there have been many ar rivals at the hotels.
 Hon. Chauncey NJ. Depew, United States senator from New York, who is to deliver the dedication oration, has arrived in Charleston and is being en- tertained at Summerville by +. W. Wagener, president of the exposition company.
 Governor McSweeney and staff. are here to participate in the exercises.

IN HONOR OF PATRON SAINT.
Three Days of Devotional Exercises ac
 St Francis Xavier's Church.


 At the masses at St Francis Xayier's church yesterday Father Curtin an- nounced the opening of three days devotion to mark the anniversary of the feast of the patron saint of he parish, which will occur next Tuesday. Solemn vespers will be celebraX I ah the church tomorrow night. TuAsday of this week will also be the sixtlNan- niversary of the formation of st Francis Nayier's parish. and few. # any. parishes in the diocese can show such marked progress in so shorf a period. Father Curtin came to Wa- terbury six years ago and met li's practitioners for the first time on tha following sunday at the Auditor.uni, South Main street. It was a fine con eregatiOn and those who attended and are still living cannot forget the main features of his sermon on that o.ca- sion. Among other things he said that he had not had much opportunity to see the field which had been aSsigned to him. but he had, passed through some of the streets and noticed large numbers of children, and this fact war ranted the conclusion that there must be quite a fair sized population of grown people in his new parish. lIe made a strong plea for the united snp- port of his congregation and assli-ed them of his best efforts as their pastor. Looking back at Father Curtfn's work for the past six years. no man can say that he has not made good the prom ise given to the people in the AnditOri- um and. we think would not be wide of the mark if lie should say that in a general way the people have been loyal to him.

 DETROIT, Mich, Dec. Flour thou sand Boer sympathizers attended a meeting in Light Guard armory yester- day afternoon under the auspices of the local Transyaal league and apz Dlauded the anti-B British sentiments of Commandant Jan Krige, who served under General Botha. and Congress man !. J. Lentz of Ohio. Resolutions denouncing the policy of this govern ment in allowing the exportation of horses and mules to the British in South Africa, denouncing the deten- ton in reconcentrado camps of Boer women and children and extending sympathy to the Boers now ill the field were unanimously adopted and will be sent to President Roosevelt with the request that he offer the friendly me- diation of this country to the combat ants.
 Commandant Krige s, d:
 'The British must now fight to the end, for if they give in the people in little India will say that they are tired of British rule and want their inde- pendence. Then Australia will be next to demand her liberty, and l believe now that the Boers' fight for freedom is but the stepping stone to the free dom of other British colonies As sure ly as the South African war killed the great old queen just so surely will the South African war sound the death knell of the British empire''
