FUN WITH BAILEY.
Stanley Tells the SchooIma'ams About
Next Years Welcome.

Governor Stanley had some fun with
Governor elect Bailey's state of single
blessedness in delivering the address of
welcome to the teachers last night and
incidentally he brought in Lieutenant
Governor d. ]. Hanna.
Il have been wondering" said Cover
nor Stanley, why l was called upon to
deliver this address of welcome when
the incoming governor of the state
would have been such an attraction to
the greater part of the audience And
if he were not equal to the task, there's
the lieutenant governor who might
have taken his place. A year hence
when it will deVolve upon him to deliver
this address of WELDON 6 1 hope he will
welcome you in the proper way, with
open arms. If he remains single an
other year, 1 bespeak for him the largest
audience of school ma ans that ever at
tended state association, and he ought
never to get away single and alive"
Governor Stanley forgot to say any
thing about welcoming the visitors, but
his address was a great tribute to the
school teacher and the teachers infiu-
ence.
This great commonwealth is largely
your work. he said. You are largely
responsible for the splendid fabric of
civilization"
Although Governor Stanley extended
no welcome to the teachers in his adj
dress, President Riggs of Ottawa uni
versity, who responded, spoke of "the
eloquent words of welcome to which we
have just listened"

BROUGHT THEIR CURIOSITY.
Two Schoolma'ams Wanted to See ga
Real, Live Governor"

Two pretty school ma'a spent two
hours yesterday in an effort to see Cover
nor Stanley-and they were successful.
They took in the state house as soon as
they reached Topeka, and having never
met a real. live governor, they deter
mined to take advantage of the oppor-
Stanley.
1t was about one o'clock when they
struck the governors office, but the gov
ernor was not in, and Secretary Ford
undertook TO entertain them until his re-
turn. After exhausting his other resources
he took them up to the State Historical
society and left them to look through
that interesting collection.
You are not going to lose this way
said one of them as he was leaving. We
are coming back pretty soon to see that
governor
And they did. They were back in half
an hour, but the governor had not re-
turned, and they sat down and waited till
he did come.

HILLS ADDRESS.
Takes Rap at a Former Governor
of Kansas

President Hill chose for the subject
of his annual address last night The
Growth of the Educational Ideal" 1t
was not long such addresses some
In it Prof. Hill took occasion to rap an
ex-governor of Kansas, for a recent ut
terance recommending that the a2pro-
priations for the states educational in
situations be cut down the coming year.
Prof Hill did not name the offending ex-
governor, but it is supposed that ex-Gov-
ernor Crawford is the one referred to,
as the recommendation quoted sounds
more like him than any other "ex' ex-
cept Leedy, and he is not writing any
recommendations at present
1T is a hopeful sign" said Prof. Hill,
that the school costs the community
more than it ever did before. Let the
man that grumbles al his school taxes,
if he wishes, rise and go out-for I am
about to add not only that it ought to
cost more, but that the educational pro-
gress of which l have been talking will
the idea that the school a civic and
social institutions is to be more and more
expensive to the state. The state is rich =
er, and it will continue to grow so-even
materially-only as it transmutes its dol
lars into those subtler, finer essences of
life for which education stands. Only
last week in a Topeka paper 1 read a
surprising utterance from a former chief
executive of the state of Kansas-Heaven
save the work-a man the greater part
of whose income for a. generation-indirect-
ly at least-has been derived from public
revenue, in which he suggested that the
next legislature should cut down our
higher institutions of learning and make
the taxes less burdensome for our public
schools
Il contrast that cry from the educa-
tional backwoods with the most notable

THE RECEPTION.
There Were Teachers Enough to FIJI
Several Overflow Meetings.

The senate chamber last night was the
scene of a terrific jam after the exer-
cises in Representative hall, when John o.
Frost as president of the Topeka Com
mercial club and other representative
citizens of Topeka were receiving" the
teachers. The receiving line was formed
on the right hand side of the senate
chamber just inside the door and it was
the plan for President Hill, W. NJ.
Sinclair, the retiring president; Superin-
tendent Nelson and John Macdonald to
introduce the visitors to the receiving
party as they came in, but within five
minutes after proceedings started the SEN
ate chamber and the corridor leading to
it became so damned with people that it
was not possible to carry out the pro
gramme, and only small per cent of the
visitors were really received"
They all had a good time, however. 1t
a very sociable crowd When a lot
of Kansas school ma ans turned
loose together they can manage to enter
tain themselves. But hundreds of teach
ers did not get into the senate chamber
at all, remaining out in the rotunda and
corridors and visiting with their friends.

ZOLA'S WIDOW.

Zola's widow, too it appears, possesses
