FIFTY-EicHrH CONGRESS.
Regular Session.

Washington. April 2S.-Serate-The
attention OF the senate was devoted
wednesday to consideration Of reports
or conference committees set speech
es, passage OF bills to which there ia
little or no objection. and an execu-
tive session. The session began at IL
O'Clock in the morning and continued
until in the evening. Final confer.
ence reports on the sundry civil. gem
erai deficiency. post office and the r,il,.
tary academy appropriation bills were
agreed to. practically without opposi.
ton. n resolution authorizing the cor
tinuation during the recess OF the in.
Quiry into the right OF Mr.. Smoot TO his
seat i'm the senate was favorably con.
sidered during the day.
House-In the presence OF crowded
galleries and OF almost a fun member.
ship. Messrs. Littlefield (Me) and vii.
hams (Miss) made speeches intended
Tor tho coming presidential campaign
The two speakers were wildly applaud.
ed by their respective sides. but there
was an absence of personalities such
as characterized the clash between
Messrs. Dalzell and Cochran. Indeed.
the hest OF humor prevailed.
Washington. April 29.-Senate-With
brief announcement and a sharp rap OF
ms well worked gavel President Pro
fem Frye adjourned the senate sino
ole at p. m. Thursday. the hour fixed
oy resolution OF the two houses of con.
gress. The occurrence was devoid of
unusual incident and the final close of
the session was but slightly different
from the end OF an ordinary DAVIS sit.
ing. The senate began it's days work
AT 1880 a. m. but the greater part of
.he time was devoted to n political de.
bate. participated in on the republican
SIDE oy Messrs. Allison and Aldrich.
and on the democratic side by Messrs
Gdrman and Culbcrson. The discus.
sion was based on n statement nv Mr.
Allison of the appropriations for the
session. comparing the figures for this
year and for the administration of
president Roosevelt with those OF 9th.
er years and other administrations.
The president and his cabinet were
among the most interested listeners To
the criticism and defense of their CHIEF.
House-The closing OF the second
session OF the house OF the 5Sth con-
Sress was made notable by the demon.
stration which was evoked by n reso-
luton offered by Mr. Williams. the mi.
norlty leader. tcstifying to the cour.
tesy and impartial manner in which
speaker Cannon had presided over the
mousse The resolution was not OF the
prefunctory kind. but was expressive of
tne kindly feeling which men in tho
mousse OF all parties entertained toward
him. In graceful speech the sneaker
declared his appreciation of the reso.
luton. Many conference reports were
agreed to on bills which had been in
dispute between the two houses. Tho
only debate OF any Importance was on
the bill providing for tho restoration
to the naval academy OF three cadets
who had been dismissed for hazing
the house voting overwhelmingly
against 1t. The members. after tho
speaker announced final adjournment
joined in singing patriotic airs. and
slowly fied out of the hall after shak-
ing hands with the speaker.

surpasses all others in beauty, so. also
does ii in size. One thousand two hun
dred and forty acres. literally covered
with the treasures, the productions, the
curiosities of &C world. tell the story
of the fair in a sentence. No one Wis
itor will ever see 1t all, though he
spent the full time the exposition Is
open at the task. An exposition which
cost $50,O00,000 before It's gates were
opened to the public: an exposition
TO which 81 nations from all cor
ners OF the world have sent their
best for the people OF the world
to look upon; an exposition two miles
long and one mile wide; an exposition
that is twice the size of any other to
which the public were invited: an ex-
position that is larger than the three
previous large American expositions
combined. Such is the exposition
with which st. Louis celebrates the
centennial of the Louisiana purchase.
But the men responsible for the ex-
position do not wish that 1t should at
tract by it's size alone. They have
builded for beauty, as well as for big
ness. and who can stand in the center
OF the great panorama without being
aroused to pitch OF enthusiasm by
the beauty that surrounds him? 1t is
the beauty. rather than the size OF the
fair, that first appeals to him
Another thing that appeals TO the
American. the man who loves his coun-
try. is the sentiment the exposition
stands for. 1t Is a sentiment that is
fully exemplifled in the imposing he
rOic statues Of the states that stand on
either side OF Festival hall. These
statues typify. not the states OF the
east, but those of the west the states
carved out of the Louisiana territory
the states that stretch from the gulf
TO the Canadian border. from the Mis-
sissippi TO Puget sound: states that
have within a century Of time been
builded out of the wilderness. H. Is
for these the exposition has been build
ed; II Is these again that have made
the exposition possible The lesson
they teach is written deep in the his
tory of the nation.
To attempt an itemized description
r the wonders this exposition has
brought to the doors Of the people OF
space Of newspaper article. Twelve
thousand car loads Of exhibits found
space within the great palaces II Is
almost impossible TO realize what such
a statement means until one has gone
from building to building from ex-
hibit to exhibit. Nor is the space in
the building wasted Every niche is
filed with Something Of interest. and
the demand was for almost double the
amount at the disposal OF the author
files. Some idea OF this may be had
from the statement that the breakfast
food manufacturers alone asked for
more space than would have filled AL
the Agricultural building. covering 10
acres Of ground. and with four miles
OF aisles.
To pick ever the more interesting ex-
hibits Is almost an impossibility.

Such items but give the general idea
of the entire fair. IL Is all big. it is
all beautiful. 1t Is all interesting.
The exposition management is not
boasting OF the pike" They wish
the visiting public to remember the fair
by what might be termed its legitimate
portion. its wealth of educational px-

Besides a mooern coming press.
from which drops a bright medal az

1913 and used at that time to stamu

improvements made In the last 100

First OF the series OF devices com.
posing the plant Is furnace which
supplies heat OF 1000 degrees +. for
the melting OF metal alloys. Here the
metal Is cast into ingots and washed
in dilute solution OF suphuric acid
to free the surface from copper oxide.
The ingots are then run through the
rolling mill and reduced in thickness
from one-half an inch to eighty.fve
thousandths Of an inch. This mill Ia
operated by 80 horse power motor.
After rolling the strips are heated
in the anneaing furnace TO soften
them for the cutter.

Beauty, Size and Sentiment
Of the Worlds Fair
IL Is Larger and More Beautiful Than ANY Other
Exposition Ever Given.

When President Roosevelt touched
the electric key at the white house in
Washington, which set in motion the
machinery of the worlds fair at St
Louis. he not only opened to the
world the greatest display of the arts
OF peace the world has ever known. but
he gave To the nation nj climax of a
century OF growth of that vast territory
west of the Mississippi-the Louisiana
territory.
When. at the swing of a lever. 81. 600
sa'Ions OF water per minute was re-
leased to flow over the beautiful cas-
cades in front OF Festival hall. there
was completed the most beautiful ex-
position picture the world has ever
seen. picture that will live in the
mind OF every visitor to the great fair.
chicago had its Court of Honor. its
stately palaces set against n back
ground of the blue waters of Lake
Michigan: Buffalo had its wonderful
illumination, its dusk of evening
Frightening into day again as the
countless thousands OF twinkling
lights brought back the effect of the
rising sun. but these pictures, beautiful
as they were. have been surpassed by
the glory of the cascades. the foaming
waterway. rushing downward from the
colonnades surrounding Festival hall

father, he had great opportunities and
possibilities before him. At the mature
age Of II he began his reign. but 'he for
sock the law of Jehovah. and all Israel
with him. and within five years time
the Judgment of God had fallen upon
him By the hand of Shishak. king of
Egypt, who came up against Jerusalem
with an immense army, and captured all
the fortified cities of judah and looted
the treasure city Jerusalem. The mag
niiicent temple which Solomon had
builded and furnished with its golden
vessels and gold-covered furniture was
stripped of its treasure. The kings pal
ace did not escape in the raid, and all
that was precious was carried off
Among the things specially mentioned
as being seized by Shishall and his army
were the 800 shields which Solomon had
made of beaten gold. Three pounds of
pure metal had gone into each shield.
These shields were in the hall of the
house of Lebanon. and were carried by
the guard which attended the king when
he went from his palace in state pro-
cosslcn TO the temple TO worship.

DJT you need not be without the
- shields you have lost through sin
Rehoboam never recovered his shields
of precious gold. They went into
Egypt never to return. He could never
get them back. But. thanks be to tho
gracious and merciful Heavenly Father,
He will replace the lost golden shields
with others as precious and genuine as
those we have lost He will give us
back the purifying presence of the
Christ. He will shelter us about with
His blessed three-fold protection But
not if we dare to- resort 20 spiritual
counterfeiting Not If we put brass of
pretense and deceit for the precious
pure gold of His coinage Away WITH
the brass shields, Cast them aside as
the peril of your very soul. Give up
the glitter and display and sit alone in
the desolate chamber of your heart
God will come to the penitent heart
and forgive, He will come to the heart
that has lost but that longs for the
genuine irStead of the counterfeit. and
He will hang upon the palace walls Of
your heart the golden shields OF His
purity and protection Perhaps you
have been coUlterfeiting without being
really conscious of the deceptive work
The heart Is deceitful above all things
and leads astray so often. Many a dear
soul perhaps has fallen into tho mis-
take Of Rehoboam without being really
conscious OF IT, without the purpose
of being a hypocrite or deceiyer. But
let me warn you to examine yourself
and see whether they are the gold
shields God has given you which you
are bearing about, or whether they arc

substituted for the genuine when you

dead and useless branches. He puryes

OF 800 gold shields. But the day came
when he lost them He was stripped
OF his treasures. His house was left

Sin, as in the case of Rehoboam. has
crept up. and up. and up into the life
until the enemy has come and stripped
us OF the purity of the presence of
Christ and carried off into far country
the sense of the protection of God. The
gold shields lost. Rehoboam forsook the
law OF his God. and the entering wedge
| am inclined TO believe. was n mere
perfunctory discharge OF his religious
obligations. He lost sight OF God. he
forgot the meaning of those shields of
gold and sloried only in their external
beauty and richness. He delighted in
the magnificent procession To the temple
only because the glitter and show of the
golden shields went with him And from
the hollow pretense OF Journalism is only
a step into positive and destructive sin.
He forsook God in spirit. and he soon
forsook the law of God as well
