Father Curran in welcoming the President,
said:
Ladies and gentlemen: This gathering of the null

After the speaking on the stand the President
was driven about the city for some time, and
then taken to the Wyoming monument where
several hundred school children and several
| thousand people welcomed him. He made no
address there and after a few minutes stay
was driven TO his train. which left here at I
o'clock this evening.
Before his coming ten thousand temperance
workers paraded the streets of the city. and
reviewed by Cardinal Gibbons and other
distinguished clergymen present. Aside from
this, the visit of the President at the in
stance of the mine workers and the temperance
men lost sight of entirely, and it a

officers of the union were far more prominent
on the grandstand than the officers of the tenn

The Use Of His ExceiIency."

II, a letter 10 the editor Of the i'idde-
ford Journal i. r. Wether;,ld OF B"S-
I,,n says:
II notice in your edition of January
|, YOU ar" asking questions about what
states are called commemorative.
There arr four omlnonwealths in the
Union. namely: Massachusetts. Penn
syivani;. Virginia and Kentucky. Ii is
presumed ti:at when the CONSTITUTIONS
Of these. commemorative were adopted
they elected 10 call themselves COM
nlonwcnitls instead of states. in;;Smuch
MS the two words mean exactly the
same. Perhaps. how ever, as you are
askii" questions Of your readers you
might ?Sk why the above four states
are called commemorative instead Oh
states. and also ask why the governor
Of Massachusetts is the only governor
i'm the Union who is given the title of
His f,Nvrleny.'
The last question in the above COM
munication may be answered by the
statement that the governor of Massa-
cEIisettS is not the only governor who
is given the title of Ills ENcelltilcE.
This :itl. has from thu first been the
usage here in Maine. When IL member
nr the Council rises to speak during Il
session OF that body he always adj
dresses the governor is Your Excel

the attorneys during pardon hearings or
whenever any matter is brought before

Ills I'Ncellency'' is also used when
communications arc exchanged be-

ta,Iments, and in general on all formal
occasions. or course. il is no. COM

We cannot say what the custom Is
in other states but this formal manner
Of addressing the Governor and refer
