subject was: Resolved, that statesmen.
and diplomacy have done more for the
civilization of the world than soldiers
and a The High school repre-
seutatiyes had parceled out the field
Of history and in well composed
set speeches, delivered in fine voice
and With fluent elocutiou, they pre-
sented the endless-chain style Of
argument. The Academy represen-
tatiyes were not prepared for this.
In their society they had evidently
practiced extemporaneous debating 10
which each debater goes it alone.
Attorney Clarence Vivion presided
at the meeting. Judge j. P. Chinn,
Horace Black well and E. n. Hopkins
had been selected as judges of the
debate, who after conference rendered

day, March 2. is without doubt one of
the very best of the season. This is
the first trip Of the company through
Missouri and therefore We wish to ex-
plain the nature of the entertain

previously played Lexington. In
addition to his work the company
carries five transformations, respect

given, such as juggling, balancing,
Japanese balancing. a beautiful
flock Of trained ring doves and the
world renowned school of trained
dogs never fail to bring forth applause
from the little folks. All in all it is
an evening that will long be remem-
bered with pleasure by all who attend.
The stage is made a paradise with the
eompany's elaborate settings.

B. F. c. Senior Reception.

On Monday evening, February %, a
large number of the friends OF Baptist
College gathered at the invitation Of
the Senior Glass. 1t was a patriotic
affair, IN color scheme at least, the
familiar ''red, white and blue' being
used In effective decoration. A
picturesque little page, whose charm
ilg appearance made one guess, at
first sight, whether he were Dan
Cupid or a Colonial Son, ushered in
the visitors. The cordial welcome
always received at the hands of the
ladies Of the college was a most
pleasant send-off. Though Mrs.
White was not in the receiving line
on account of illness, Mrs. Cook and
the ''fair seniors" doubled their cor
dial greetings. The faculty and
underclassmen helped to create that
atmosphere OF genial, southern hos
pitality so priced by Lexingtonians.
A great many admirers were plloted
into the ''senioF ROOM" where bril-
liant oriental rugs, tapestries and
charming nick-nacks made a most
inviting place for a tete-a-tete.
Punch Of a refreshing nature was
served In another room. The time
passed very quickly until the supper
hour. The dining room looked very
pretty with II flowers, palms and soft
oriental light The senior table de-
serves especial mention. Its colors,
purple and white and gold, we're
carried out in fragrant punches of
violets festooned gracefully at the
corners OF the table by broad gold
and white satin ribbon. A mass Of
the same purple flowers and an
abundance Of smilax made the center
decoration. The refreshments were
as follows: salad, salmon c%roquettes,
Saratoga potatoes, beaten biscuit,
waters, pickle, frappe in orange cups,
neapolitan cream, several kinds Of
cake. In evidence Of the enjoyment
Of the good things the guests sat long
at the tables enjoying as well the
charm Of conversation 10 jokes old
and new and choice bits Of the
--latest news" 1t was with great
reluctance that each, some time later,
said good night TO their genial hosts
and hostesses.

DR.. NANLY'S FAREWELL
UNION SERVICES AT THE FIRST
BAPTIST CHURCH.
Resolutions Of the Ministers Alliance
---All Denominations Regret
His Departure.

10 honorof DR.. Charles ManlY,Of the
the Baptist church, who left Tuesday
to begin his new work in Lexington,
Va, no services were held in the other
protestant churches of this city Sun
day night, aud the several congre-
cations assembled 10 worship with
the Baptists. A special music pro-
gramme had been prspared-two
songs by the quartette consisting Of
Messrs. Chiles, St Clair, Xix and
Professor Savage, and solos by Mrs.
Teyis and Miss Gibbs.
The pastors Of the other churches
sat in the pulpit and took part IN the
service. After the sermon by DR..
Manly from a text found 10 the bless
ing pronounced upon the tribe Of
Joseph 10 Moses farewell address to
the hosts, Rev. D. Buchmueller, Of
the German Lutheran church, with
fitting introductory words rea1 the
resolutions Of the Minister'S Alliance
upon the resignation Of the beloved
and honored brother. DR.. E. @.
Gordon, Of the Presbyterian church,
then in behalf of the Minister'S
Alliance and of the people of the city
expressed to DR.. Manly the sentiments
of affection and esteem In which he
is held by the ministers organization
and by the people Of all denomina-
tions. After a brief acknowledge
ment and a few touching words OF
farewell the congregation was dis
missed and dispersed with a heavy
feeling of the distinct loss which the
removal Of DR.. Manly and his family
entails upon this community. For
some five years the mere presence
of this good man upon our streets aud
10 u homes has seemed a benedic-
tiOn, and the affectionate interest Of
the people Of all denominations and
of no denomination will follow him to
his new field of labor.

MACHINERY
To Cost About 100000 and be Completed
This Year.

The contract for the Machinery Building for the St. Louis
Worlds Fair was awarded April s to Smith g. Eastman for SAGE, 957.
The buildings main dimensions are to be 525 feet by 1000 feet. 1t
will contain the expostion's big power plant, and will be served by a
gigantic travelling crane, and by two tracks of railway running
through the building from east to west.
The ground allotted for the buildin il of peculiar shape, viz a
large parallelogram with a huge corner piece cut out of the southeast
angle. Wtdmann, Walsh & Bolsseer, the architect have furnished
the following statement in regard to the structure;
I'm a building Of this immense magnitude, it behooyes the
designer to apply symmetrical treatment whenever feasible, and we.
have, therefore, designed the four facades subservient to this prin-
ciple, la the south front towards the hill, the main entrance shows
a triple arcade, with thanking pavilons in the center. The north
form Of 1000 feet has an arcade Of seven arches as center feature.
The two axes of these central features are 100 feet apart, and in our
ground plan we have formed on each of these axes a crossasle and
nave of eighty feet in width. These two aises are connected by a
lower room, with lantern light above.

centered by two gables aud smaller entrance feature The re-entering

her to an additional field of literary
work The initial number of Gamer
lean Life and Health" published at
SOB Fifth Avenue, New York, has
just been presented for public pat
ronage with Miss Young in charge Of
the book and literary department..
Miss Young's faultless English and
charm Of style have made her a well
come contributor to such magazines as
the Atlantic, and she is a most fitting
person to occupy the chair assigned
to her in this new Journal. A finely
illustrated article on "The Climate Of
a Spanish Yankee City, which is San
Antonio, Texas, from her pen is
highly enjoyable, and an article from
another former Lexingtonlan, DR..
James Addison Quarles, thinly dis
guised as flames Addison" giving
the struggle and final triumph Of a
delicate but determined man against
the handicap Of a weakly frame and
constitution, is a literary treat as
well as a lesson on health The
journal is not a medical journal, but
one devoted to health outside of the
dogmas of medicine and will be an use
full as well as entertaining addition
to u magazine literature.

angle on the southwest corner will be very interesting in its develop
ment. The other corner features are each made with a triumphal
arch entrance taken from the principal motif, with two of the
principal pavilions 10 the line of the facades. AS a land mark, we
have used two large towers, raised in the center of the immense aisle
of the structure, and Immediately back of the large arcade feature of
the north facade. The towers will be safely built upon massive piers,
and will be a magnificent corner turning feature in the general
complex of exposition buildings the Machinery Building being the
end one OF the main group.
"The plan has been arranged with special reference to the
admission of daylight, which will be admitted through clerestory
windows to all the principal aiaes. These windows afford ample
ventilation, and are intended to be readily accessible for opening.
The lower portions of the building around the courts are entirely
open, and sheltered from rain by umbrella galleries, the spaces above
having glass screens.
1.-THE axal measurement Of unit in the building is 20 feet. and
the width of the various aisles are multiples of this unit, being 40, so
and 80 feet wide, respectively. The main aides are 65 feet in height,
aud the secondary aises 80 feet, aGording an abundance OF clerestory
light. The construction Of the building is OF the simplest and least
expensive kind, and is to be covered on the outer side with staff, with
enriched spandrels and other ornamental features, and surmounted by
occasional groups where desired"
This building will house the exposition power plant, the largest
power plant ever shown as an exhibit, and just west of 1t will be the
boiler house.
