St. Louis. Mo-. May 3.zYesterday
was the last day of the dedication eX-
ercises of the Exposition, and in many
respects it was more successful than
any that preceded it. The beautiful
weather of Friday was continued and
the dense crowd that jammed the turn

that lined the streets in solid rank to
watch the great civic parade, compared
favorably in point of numbers. with
the multitude of the opening day. Yes
terday was state day" and aside from
the dedication of the various state
buildings, which took place in the af-

magnificent representation of the arts

OF the military pageant were absent,
but the great outpouring of the men
of brain and Drawn who marched to-
day was no less impressive.

Santa Maria Volcano Active.

San Francisco, Cal, May 4.-The
Santa Maria volcano, in Guatemala,
has broken out again. The news was
brought to this city by the steamer
San Puan, which left Champerico on
the afternoon of April 18th, the day
the fresh eruption is said to have TAX
en- place. Couriers from the interior
brought word that the volcano had
broken out, that storm of ashes was
falling, and that the inhabitants of the
surrounding country were panic-strick-

were in line.
In st. Louis Saturday is observed as

business houses, and the multitude of
employees, mingled with the throngs
from the residential sections of the
city, were swelled by the masses of
visitors, few of whom had left the
city. and this vast assemblage. stretch
ing on both sides of Lindell boule-
ward, formed an avenue through which
the cavalcade advanced. led by a
squadron of mounted police. Car
riages containing the visiting govern
ors and accompanied by their staffs,
aggregating 1SS mounted men, swept
ahead of the procession and stopped at
the reviewing stand, where the gov
ernors took their seats to await the
passing of the parade.
The vehicles of the governors were
followed by line of forty-five car
riages, containing the Worlds Fair
commissioners from states and foreign
countries.
Among the distinguished guests on
the reviewing stand were Governors
Dockery of Missouri, Peabody of Colo
RADIO, Odell of New York, Van SAINT of
Minnesota, Mickey of Nebraska. Heard
of Louisiana; Senator Fairbanks,
Senator Hanna, Hon. Thomas N.
Carter and John II. Thurston.
The most unique division in the
parade was the thirteenth. 1t was
formed by the men from Indian Terri
tory and Oklahoma. The Frisco sys-
TEN cowboy band. clad in character
istic costume, led the division, and be-
hind it came fifty cowboys, forty lndi-
ans and 300 additional representatives
of the two territories. AS they rode
along the cowboys and Indians gave
exhibitions of daring horsemanship
which rivaled anything seen in any
circus. The delight of the spectators
was extreme, and the passage of the
division was a continuous ovation.
AS soon as possible after the last of
the parade had passed the reviewing
stand, the crowd entered the Liberal
Arts building, where the formal exer-
cises of the day were held.

The Judgment of Year..

A significant bit of wisdom, to be
pondered over by the very young
whose griefs and Glisappointments seem
so tragic. was that uttered by Mrs.
Dolly Madison when she was over
eighty years old and near her death.
Her life had been fortunate and beau
tifalI not only because circumstances
had proved kind TO her, but from the
brightness and buoyancy of her tenn
permanent.
She harbored no bitterness over past
experiences, but life lad taught her tire
unimportance of most trials which
loom so gigantic in approa Ching.
Not long before her death one of her
nieces went to her for sympathy in
some slight trouble.
My dear" she said, do not trouble
about it. There is nothing in this
world really worth caring for. Yes"
she repeated. looking intently out of a
window, 81 who have lived so long re-
peat to you that there is nothing in
this world below really worth caring
forr'
