SPEAKS FOR THE HOUSE
Representative Tawney's Address on
Behalf Lower Branch of Congress.

st. Louis, April 80.-At the dedicatory
exercises today, on behalf of the house
Of representatives Co@Sressman Taw-
ney spoke as fOllows;
Those who conceived and accomplish
ed this marvellous result as a means OF
celebrating the one hundredth anniveI-
Hary purchase of the territory of the
Louisiana may well feel proud Of their
magnificent success. As member OF
the congress of the United States that
authorized and aided It and speaking IN
behalf of one branch of that body l
will say that, not only as members OF
congress but as citizens of the United
States we share with them their just
pride and are profoundly grate1ul 1oE
their efficient effort and labor in the
work they have accomplished.
For the first time in the worlds his
tory men stand here today in the
presence of a spectacle the like OF
which has never been conceived by the
mind or wrought by the hand of man.
In design, in execution, in the beauty
and grandeur of its full completion, Il
Eurpasses anything of the kind the hu-
man eye has ever looked upon. In a
word is the worlds exhibit of 10 CEN
turtles of human progress. 1t has been
gathered from every land and every
part of the habitable globe to commem-
crate that matchless and patriotic
achievement wrought a century ago by
Thomas Jefferson, who as the president
Of a feeble republic, taking adVantaSe
of the necessities of Napoleon and the
aggressive designs of Great Britain
wrested from both an empire greater
in area than in the territory plucked
from the British crown by the revoiu-
tionary war.
The declaration of July 4, 1776, gave
us national independence and political
liberty. The acquisition of the terri
tory Of Louisiana safeguarded botn
and in addition gave us international
freedom and the power to protect our
selves and the republics to the south
of US from foreign aggression or terri
torial ACKNOWLEDGMENT.
When measured by the life of ma
lions. it has enabled US in the snort
space Of one century to grow and ex-
pand from infancy to full MANHOOD
and commanding Importance until TO-
day we are not only a. world power
but in peace and war, in the arts ana
sciences in productive industry ana
economic organization, in the Wlsoon
and benehcence of our laws ana IN
situations and in all things essential to
national leadership. we have justly
won, and proudly though modestly, &C
cupy a foremost place among our SIS
ter nations. In no country, under no
government, by no people on earth
could this marvellous result nave Deen
achieved save by the American people
under the freedom of their institutions,
the inspiration of liberty, and the IN
,auenres of Christian civilization.

STAHL MAKES A MOVE.
One Policeman Discharged-Four
More to Go.

Chief OF Police Frank Stahl this
afternoon announced that he would
tonight dismiss George Stoneking
from the police force. and that four
more would go next week, two patrol
men and two detectives, whose names
he refused to give out just now. H P.
Smith, who was removed from the
position of first sergeant by McCollum
and then reinstated as a policeman
will be made JaiIer in the place of
John Lucas who will join the detective
squad. tBill" White will continue as
day patrol driver, and another man
will be employed at night. White has
been serving "a hours a day for the
last six months.
These changes and disrnissa1s will
be all to be made for some time, and
the names Of those who will make up
what the chief calls his permanent
police force,'' will be with the excep-
ton OF the two to be discharged: Al
lison, Asher, Duncan, Charles Smith,
Hutton, Small, Woodward Hart, Hen
bricks, Mildfelt, Henderson, Douglas,
Noiles Barnes. Walker, James, Brodis,
PARCELS and Bundy.
The detective force at the present
time consists of four men. Two of
these will lose their heads under the
execuuoner's ak. The four are: Lucas,
Ross, Gardiner and Dusenberry
The chief would assign no reasons for
the dismissaIs beyond the stereotyped
expression, For the good of the force -
I'VE do not need four detectives he
said, Il think that two are enough -
He also felt that the police force was a
little too large.
Next Tuesday night, Mayor Bergund-
thai, the police committee, and Chief
Stahl, will call the entire force togeth-
er and give them regular ''good-ad-
vice-feast."
4 shall have them all here" said
the chief this afternoon. THE mayor
and the police committee and myself
will take turns in telling them what
we think. They will hear from the
powers that be. We want a good force
and we shall have it. The men will re
made acquainted with what their du-
ties shall be and they must act up to
the standard
The policemen are considerably wor-
ried as to which two of them will re-
ceive the knockout blow next week.
The detectives share the anxious seat
with them. The sergeants are happy,
they will not be changed. At the pres
ent time, and ever since McCollun' S
first big shakeup. Darby has been first,
and McElroy second in command.
John Gardiner, who has been on the
police force as detective for a great
many years, this afternoon rendered his

effect at once

"OId Man Friday. ;,

The older residents of this city, re-
member "Old Man FrIuay," who sold
fruit in and about the capitol for many
years. He carried his wares in a large
market basket, and his patrons includ-
ed number of senators, representa-
tives and other men of note. One day
Friday was sitting on the coping near
the main entrance to the Capitol park
west, with his basket of large rosy ap-
pies before him, when he was ap-
preached by two men who were on
their way to the big building on the
hill. One was a senator, the other q
man with dark complexion, a military
mustache, tightly waxed at the ends,
and who wore a tight fitting dark suit.
The latter approache Friday and with
a miSchteVOuS twinkle in his eyes beck
oned his companion to do Iilzewise.
How much are your apples, old
MANI" he asked.
Five cents a piece, and they're nice
ones"
The man with the military mustache
bought one and with a significant wink
at the senator produced his pocket
knife, and as he cut the apple in two
he remarked:
Il have reason to believe these ap-
pies are valuable"
Friday gazed at the apple with blank
establishment as the stranger extract
ed apparently from the very center of
it bright $40 gold piece.
Let me have another apple he said,
and here is 10 cents for it."
Friday grudgingly handed him anoth-
er, and the stranger repeated the opera
ton of extracting a $40 gold piece from
it's center. The old fellows eyes We're
bullying and his mouth was wide open
with establishment when the stranger
said:
TN take the entire basketful. What
Will you charge me for them? Name
your price,
Friday slowly gathered up his bas-
ket, and as he started away he said:
Il guess 1 won't sell any more of
EN-; want 'em to make pies"
He proceeded to a quiet nook in the
capitol park and with his pocket
knife cut every apple into pieces with
| the hope of finding some of the gold
coin, but not a one did he find. Sc
great was his disappointment that he
was not seen at his accustomed places
about the capitol for several days
The man who played the trick on him
was Hermann, the magician, who was
on his way to the capitol to give a prt-
Vate performance in one of the senate
committee roomS.-Washingto Star.

TALK OF FIRE TEST.
Mayor Doesn't Know When 1t VIII
Be Made.

Mayor BergundthaI has not fixed
any time for the test of the water
pressure which the city can depend
on for fighting fires, but says it will
take place some time next week. The
committee from the Commercial club
called upon him Friday, and found
him willing to arrange for test.
But it has not been decided whether
the exact day and hour will be made
public. The mayor will talk it over
with Fire Marshal Wilmarth, and see
what he thinks about it. It may be
decided to turn in a fire alarm unex-
pectedly, and take the water company
unawares, or it may be decided to
give the company warning, and allow
them to get everything ready for their
best possible work
