LOUISIANA PURCHASE EXPO.
Buildings Were Formally Dedicated
Recently.

Recently.
The buildings of the Louisiana Pur-
chase exposition were recently for,
mally dedicated to their purpose with
all possible pomp and cersmony. In
every way save one the exercises were
an unequivocal success-and this one
circumstance was the weather. It
would be difficult to imagine a more
|uisagreeable day. The wind blew fierce
ly from the west, sending great clouds
of dust whirling into the faces of the
troops as they marched past the pres
ident, and at times so nearly binding
the president that it was well nigh
impossible for him to see across the
street upon which the troops were
marching.
Added to the discomfort of the wind
and dust was a temperature which
sought for the marrow and generally
reached it. The ladies, who, on the
strength of the warm weather of yes
terday, came in summer dresses to the
reviewing stand, suffered keenly, and
but for the thoughtfulness of officers
commanding the guard thrown around
the reviewing stand, who provided
them with Blankets, many of them
would have been compelled to leave
the place.
Both President Roosevelt and ex-
President Cleveland remained in the
reviewing stand, exposed to the icy
wind until the end of the parade, al
though their faces were blue and their
limbs stiffened by the cold.
Building Cold and Damp
Conditions in the liberal arts build
ing, where the dedication ceremonies
proper were held, were little better.
There was no wind but there was
manifold drafts which, added to the
dampness inseparable from newly
erected buildings, produced penetrat-
ing chill that was uncomfortable, to a
degree. The effect of this was evident
in all of the speeches, as the speakers,
commencing their speeches in clear
tones, were without exception given
ever to catarrhal infections as they
finished Despite this heavy handicap,
however, the ceremonies proper were
splendldly handled, and the program
was carried out to the letter The pc
lice work was excellent, and the pa
trolling of avenues and passageways
by the First Missouri infantry was ably
done, and all possible consideration
shown to the great crowd, which num-
hered in round figures about $4,000.
