Anniversaries of Incorporation of
City as a Village, Which
Took Place in 1S0S.
MAYOR PROPOSES THE DATE
Movement Planned by Exposition
Officials to Have Two Spe-
cial Days of Local In
pOrtance at Fair.

Mayor Wells has sent letter to Presl-
dent D. r. Francis OF the Worlds Fair
suggesting that November 9. 1904, be set
aside for tSt. Louis Day. at the EXPOSE
ton. The date is the anniversary of the
Incorporation Of the original village Of st.
Louis, which took place November !, 1895.
1t is thought likely that this date will
be selected. but owing to the fact that
it is so late in the year there may be two
St Louis days. President Francis be-
lieves that it would be well to have the
first some time in the spring. shortly after
the Exposition opens.
A search will be made through the his
tory OF St. Louis to find some event, the
anniversary Of which may be commemo-
rated by the first st. Louis Day. The diff
difficulty so far has been in deciding upon
a day which comes within the Exposition
period.
A conference will be held within the next
few days between Mayor Wells, President
and members OF the Exposition's Commit
tee on Ceremonies, at which the various
days suggested will be canvassed and a
selection made
November Q. from a historical stand
point" said Mayor Wells. 'fs as good as
any day that could be decided upon The
anniversary of the day on which the hardy
citizens of early St. Louis incorporated
their little settlement is certainly worthy
OF celebrating. The event was one OF
great significance TO this city and IS typical
OF the history OF the Louisiana Purchase.
There are other events in the city s
history and the history of the territory Of
much greater Importance than this. but
unfortunately they nearly all took Llacc
on days the anniversaries of which are
either before or after the Exposition
period. Among these events. for instance.
are the landing OF Pierre Lacledc and the
transfer OF the Louisiana Purchase. Both
OF these events are barred BY the time OF
year in which they took place"
Many of the Worlds Fair officials favor
having two St. Louis days. They could be
separated by a period OF two CT more
months. they say. Days assigned especial
