There is nothing conventional or
perfunctory in the following ac-
acknowledgement, by Editor Stiles, of
the Springfield Reporter.
my friend, John l.. Bacon, the
State treasurer, has sent me his annual
report for the year ending June 30,
1904. 1t appears, and as John" is
pretty careful, guess it is right, that
the grand old State of Vermont did
more business last year than some
whole families. The receipts were
81, 474, 594. ID, and the most of our news
paper fellows would have been glad of
as much business including the thir-
teen cents, nor thought it unlucky
i-ther. But the expenses have called
for 1888, 342. 80, and that leaves $412,
562- 80 as cash on hand and in the
bank.

The American college athletes now
stand supreme on the athletic field.
The victory for America at the inter-
national meet between the two lead

and of England was SO decisive that it

were good losers.

AS the recognized democracy is
not counting much on the West, it
matters little, no doubt, what the

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 22, 1904.

Chases Theatre, this city, during the pres
ent week. On Tuesday afternoon they
laid the corner stone of memorial hall
on 18TH and d. Streets, Northwest. Mrs.
Chas. w. Fairbanks is the president of
the D. A. II. Her four predecessors in
that Office were Mrs. BENJAMIN Harrison,
Mrs. Adlai Stevenson, Mrs. John w. Eos.
ter and Mrs. Daniel Manning. 1t will
thus be seen that only the wives of famous
statesmen have thus far been elected to
the office of president of this society. The
speech Of President Fairbanks will proba-
bly rank with the best of contemporaneous
dedicatory addresses. About fifteen hun
dred members called at the White House
on Wednesday where they met the presi-
dent. Many of the visiting Daughters
hail from distant states, and they are
avaiiing themselves of this opportunity to
do the city. The sightseeing automo-
biles, recent inventions of monstrous pro-
portions and capable of carrying score
or more of people. are now busily making
the rounds of the city.
The weather at this time is ideal, and
with parks already mantled with grass and
flowers. the magnolias in bloom and the
trees almost in leaf the capitol is rapidly
assuming very attractive appearance.
The public grounds of Washington are
propably unequaled in beauty by parking

iety to the scene, are now in operation

step toward long cherished plan to un-
dertake the improvement of Washington

more nearly to the dreams OF imaginative
architects and engineers who have contri
buted plans and suggestions in the past.
The city of Washington possesses certain
natural advantages which readily lend
themselves to the enhancement of urban
beauty. And the political significance of
the place should argue strongly in favor Of
special adornment and beauty.
