Worlds Fair Dedication.

Probably the largest crowd that
ever listened to a president of the
United States, certainly the largest
that ever gathered beneath a roof to
hear the words of any chief magis
trate, packed the huge Liberal Arts
building to attend the dedication ex.
ercises of the Louisiana Purchase
Worlds fair at st. Louis.
Thirty thousand persons were in
sight, If not sound, of the president
when he made his speech accepting
the half-completed structures in the
name of the government; 10 governors
of as many sovereign states, the gen.
eral commanding the army, the gen.
eral who manages the army, regiments
of regulars, regiments of citizen sol
ders, bands without number, repre-
sentatives of 20 foreign powers and
plain people to the number of quar-
ter of million, attended the exercises
as participants or witnesses.
The only living ex-president, Grover
Cleveland, the only American prince
of the church, Cardinal Gibbons,
Bishops Potter and Hendricks, Presi.
dent Francis of the Exposition com.
pany and ex-senator Carter, head OF
the government building. took part
with the president in the program OF
dedication.
Several governors were Obliged to
stand or seat themselves on steps,
ledges or even on the floor; one of
the latter was Odell of New York
who, after standing until his legs
grew weak, pumped himself down in
front of Senator Hanna.
The weather. which turned bitter
cold over night, marred the pleasure
of the parade for most of the people
who stood shivering, blue-faced and
wretched, while the bands and regi.
ments went marching by.

Or. Mckee Details Ethel Dinsle's Own
Story of Her Downfall.

Rochester, May 5.-A great deal OF
sensational testimony was heard yes.
terday afternoon in the Kent case
The most important witness was Dr.
Thomas H. Mckee of Buffalo, a prac.
ticing physician and surgeon.
DR.. Mckee told on the stand in the
presence of a crowded court room the
tragic story of Ethel Dingle's downfall
as related to the doctor by herself
DR.. Mckee was inferno at the River
side HOSPITAL during Miss Dingle's
residence there.
Witness said Ethel was a bright
child and was apt in her studies. She
sometimes prepared patients for Dr.
Mckee before surgical operations. This
preparation required the use of the
razor. Miss Dingle, he said, when he
first knew her was bright and viva
cious, almost like a child, impulsive
and affectionate, but a thoroughly
good girl. This was during the Pan
American year. Later she lost much
of this brightness and became despon.
dent.
Witness described an excursion
which he took with the nurses of the
hospital in August. He went to the
dock landing about $3.50 at night and
saw Ethel there standing by the
waters edge talking with group OF
nurses. Jack Mckay, Kents friend
was with them. DR.. Grant joined the
group in about five minutes, but Ethel
would net speak to him. Miss Dingle
asked witness to take her home, say.

Witness said Grant was about two

Grant followed Ethel and eXpostu,
lated. pleaded, and threatened to make
her go with him. Ethel said she
would not return to the hospital after
being made such an exhibition of and
went home to her sisters.
Witness told Ethel Dlngle's story
as related to him by the girl the next
morning after the excursion and upon
her return to the hospital. She was
very bitter against DR.. Grant, who
she greatly feared would kill her.
The story of the girls downfall as
related by Dr. Mckee laid all the
blame ON DR.. Grant. She related how
he, during the Pan-American exposi-
ton, got intoxicated and took her to
a house where they spent the night
together. Afterwards he detained
her three days at Niagara Falls
through intimidation. She accused
Dr. Grant Of slashing her with pen
knife. She threatened at that time
to end all her misery. Witness ad-
vised her to finish her studies and
then go out of town.

Trade Conditions Satisfactory.

Weather conditions and labor dis
turbances, actual or threatened, have
been temporarily unsettling elements
in the trade and industrial situation
this week, but great basic elements,
such as general business and crop con-
ditions, remain largely favorable.
Cold weather and snow in the West
have checked farm work, interfered
with retail distribution and retarded
recorders. The exact opposite, how
ever, is noted at the East, where the
weather has been spring-like and
much needed stimulus to retail distri.
button has thus been given.
All the usual measures OF trade vol
ume testify to the generally satisfac.
tory conditions ruling.
