Simplicity and Informality
Characterized the Cere.
mony Held Yesterday.
Dr.. W. ". FolVell Makes
the Formal Presentation
for the Donors.
"a WO events of unusual significance
to Minneapolis were combined

~ WO events of unusual significance
to Minneapolis were combined,
into one splendid festival yester-
day afternoon when Larkin G. Mead's
heroic. sculpture, the Genius of the
Mississippi, was unveiled and presented
to the city by group Of citizens and
the glorious marble entrance of the
courthouse, one of the most magnificent
in the world, was formally opened to
the public.
Despite the fact that either event
might warrant much display and cere-
mony, the exercises were Of the utmost
simplicity. The principal figures in the
event met in their workday clothes,
quite casually to all appearances. and
then without any ostentation a few re-
marks were made-most Of them of be-
ing impromptu-and then it was all
over.
And yet, in spite of it's informality,
the occasion, tho possibly not of his
toric Importance, may prove the be-
ginning of an epoch of civic advance
ment in art.
Edward G. Gale of the municipal art
commission presided. He commended
the inspiration supplied to art by the
ancient Greek myths, which invested
almost every locality with a tutelary
spirit or genius, and said that it was
peculiarly fitting that Minneapolis
should have the sculptured genius of
the Mississippi river, the. greatest OF
all. He extol1ed the donors for their
liberal public spirit, and particularly
praised Roy D. Hersick for the zeal
and enthusiasm with which he had con
ceiyed and carried out his plans of
bringing the great marble to Mime
apolfs. Without his zeal and efforts
the generosity Of the donors would not
have found expression. Many people
were entitled to thanks, but it was Mr.
Herrick after all to whom the chief
credit was. due. Mr.. Gale thereupon
presented Mr.. Herrick to the gathering,
which applauded most heartily.
How It Was Done. =
Mr. Herrick spoke at some length on
"The Purpose Of the Donors.' In be-
ginning he extended his personal thanks
to the donors and also to E. c. Gale. F.
| A. Chamberlain, R. Ernest Kennedy,
William M. Kenyon and W. G. Whitney.
He related how he had seen the uncom-
pleted figure in Larkin G. Mead s
studio at Fiesole, near Florence, in 1902
and had become so interested in the
| work that at it's completion he deter
mined that if it lay in his power he
would bring it to Minneapolis.
The effort to establish a civic center
at Bridge square, with the consequent
removal Of the old city hall and the
| placing of the marble in a little park
were recalled. Other uses were found
for the old building, but nevertheless
"The Father Of Waters' happily re.
| posed in as beautiful setting as he
could possibly have.

TIE THRoNG FoREsHADoWED
Great Crowd Downtown for Inspection
Of Decorations.

Of Decorations.
Foreshado downing the crowds which win
pack the streets both day and night all
thru the week, all Minneapolis was out
last night for its first taste of the ex.
element Of the G.. A. R. encampment.
Nicollet avenue was packed with
iostling, good-natured throng of sight
seers, bent on catching an early
glimpse Of the decorations in honor
of the visiting veterans.
: It was distinctly Minneapolis night.
The people who packed the sidewalks
showed, with rare exceptions, that they
were residents of Minneapolis, and
proud, of it. A few out-of town people
were in evidence, principally those
from nearby places. AS a rule, the
visitors kept to their hotels and rested,
preferring to do their exploring by
daylight. - ..@
Drifting with the Tide.
Drifting was the only easy means Of
progress between the hours Of and
10 pm. So long as the wayfarer ac-
commodated his pace to the leisurely
sauntering of the crowd, his progress
was comfortable. steady-and slow.
The man who was in hurry took to
the side streets. Men, women and
baby carriages flowed in steady streams
on the sidewalks, while the street looked
like a section Of an automobile parade.
except that the cars, big and little,
were down to their lowest speed and
the forward pose Of the drivers showed
that life was serious matter for the
man at the wheel.
Everywhere there were indications
that the crowd was not the regular
Saturday night crowd of shoppers and
pleasure seekers. The red, white and
blue bunting which .draped the store
fronts seemed to be reflected upon the

RUSSIAN INTERNAL SITUATION

The governments victory over the
revolutionists has been quite decisive,
although open revolt continues in
many places in the interior. Artillery
is employed mercilessly and the move
ment is gradually being stif1ed. These
fires of revolt, however, are smothered
but are not extinguished and the main
fear is that the government, encour
aged by success, will fall into the very
error of which the revolutionists were
guilty and attempt to press it's advan-
tage too far.
1t is impossible to ascertain the tota!
losses resulting from the ten days re
volt at Moscow, az many-of the dead
and wounded have not been reported
at the hospitals, public or private. and
some Of the bodies were incinerated.
But a personal tour of the hospitals
shows there were 54S killed and LOGS
wounded. One hundred and seventy
four of the injured taken to hospitals
have since died.
The devastation of estates by the
peasants in Esthonia proceeds furi-
ously. The authorities III dispatch
ing military expeditions with artillery
In all directions. In Courland no
mercy is shown where revolutionary
bands refuse to surrender. The troops
shellathe towns and villages. Several
of the latter have been set ON fire and
completely destroyed.
On account Of the serious. condition
Of affairs on the Siberian railroad,
many stations Of which are in 2 con.
dition of anarchy, seventeen districts
through which the line passes from
the Ural mountains to Lake. Baikal, q
distance Of 1900 miles, have been
placed under martial law.
