CoMMENDs, THE EXHIBITION.

The Free Press is pleased to give
editorial space to the following letter
concerning the tuberculosis exhibition
which will be in Mankato all the week i:
saltwater MINI, May 0, 1905
Editor of The Mankato Free Press. My
Dear Sir: l feel that | would, not be
doing my full duty in the premises
did | not commend to your favorable
consideration the state tuberculosis eX-
hibition that comes to yur city next
week. 1t was my good fortune to
here and 1 want to say that as ben
eficent work it has never been sur
passed | surmise, unless you have
given the subject larger study than l
had, that you will be astounded at the
statements made by the lecturers, and
they are all true. Not less astonishing
is the fact that i'm the near future,
owing almost entirely to such move
ments as are now on in this state, con-
sumption, or tuberculosis, will soon be
on the decline, in fact is so, in some
states, not able Massachusetts where
the death rate from this cause has been
decreased 80 per cent in recent years.
Our exhibition here was the first of
its character in the state, l am told,
and necessarily we were obliged to
feel our way along. l am happy to
state. however, that we consider it
was great success, more than two
thousand people having attended the
exhibition, and the lectures. l am posi-
tive Mankato will do still better than
Saltwater and in doing so give great
er impetus to movement that isl
destined to do much to ameliorate
the condition of suffering humanity and
prevent untimely death from the king
of diseases. Very Truly yours, w. c.
Masterman, chairman county tubercu-
losis exhibition"
1t is hoped that the people of
Mankato will manifest deep interest
i'm the exhibition, and the lectures
which will be delivered by eminent
physicians who are thoroughly con-
versant with the terrible scourge of the
white plague and the means by which
the disease can be successfully COM
batted.

new LINE is IN OPERATION
EIectricsCar Service lnaugurated on
Main and Fifth Street.

FROM SdtuTudy ihiiS.
Street car service OH the Main and
Fifth street line was inaugurated this
morning, and the cars did good bust
ness. When people get used to them
and come to depend upon them it is
evident that there will be steady
patronage. A main line closed car runs
on the line, and an open motor car
was placed on Front street to take
the place of it.
The company will endeavor to meet
the demands expected to be made up
on it tomorrow, and several men are
at work getting the motors and trucks
adjusted to the. enclosed body that ar
rived several days ago. 1t is hoped
to have this in commission tomorrow.
Superintendent Lightfoot is still cor
resounding with interurban lines in the
east to get information as to their
business and the benefit that they are
to the farming communities through
which they pass. He has received the
following letter from the superintend-
ent of the Evansville Railways COM
pany, Evansville, ILL.,, dated May 5:
SIN regard to our freight business on
the Evansville & Mt. Vernon line, we
are doing very nice business; our
freight is of all kinds and we handle
anything in this line on our express
car. Most of our parcel business is
handled on passenger cars.
81 think we get ninety per cent of
the freight from Evansville to Mt.
Vernon. Will say this, in regard to
the farmers along our line, they are
all friendly with the road. We have
been doing a good car load business
this spring, most of this is house pat
terms for different farmers along our
line. / will have some of the farm
ers along the line write you, also bust
ness men from Mt. Vernon. Any
further information You may want ]
will gladly furnish. Very respectfully
H. A. Barbero. superintendent"

Canadian Election
In Progress Today

st. Johns, Newfoundland, Nov. 2.--
The quadrennial general election is
in progress throughout Newfoundland
today. Reports indicate that large
vote wil be cast, but this was ex-
pected, as the campaign was spirited.
The government forces are being led
by Sir Robert Bond, the premier, while
Sir Edward Morris, who, until last
year, was attorney general in the Bond
cabinet, is heading rhe opposition. The
former is a Protestant and the latter
a Catholic, hence religion is playing
an important part in todays election.
There are nearly 1000 towns and cities
with a total population Of about 275,-
900, but they are SO widely scattered
that several days are likely to elapse
before the result of today's election
will be known.

Memorial to Bishop Satterlee Planned

tiful mountains Of the wooded Cats
kills, 1900 feet above the plain which
1t overlooks. And one could say that
in its present stage it was almost lit
orally built by Bishop Satterlee with
his own hands, and its services Of
prayer, praise and sacrament carried
on by him for years.
Now 1t is proposed to enlarge the
structure, make it entirely of stone
and beautify it, as memorial to the
man who gave the inspiration for its
starting. 49,
The history Of the church dates
back to 1895, when the mission Of All
Angels was. established at Twilight
Park. For several years before that
time desultory services had been held
in small building in the settlement.
Bishop Satterlee made his summer
home there and he became interested
in the mission. Its first regular serv-
ice was held June 16, 1895, in the cot
tage where Bishop Satterlee and his
family lived. At that service there was
a celebration of the holy communion,
at which the bishop officiated During
the summer services were held in a
small building nearby, but in the fall
1t was decided to build a church.

w ARLINGTON Whatever the cap

lacked in the past In the way of park
accommodation for the comfort and
enjoyment Of the general public, such
condition will not exist after this sum-
mer, for rapid work is being done upon
the flats lying along the Potomac
frontage of the. city, and the waste
land is being transformed into gar
den spot that will make 1t one OF the
most delightful public parks in the
country. Instead Of the desolate
stretches Of swamp and tangled
thicket and neglected commons there
are now verdant lawns and trees and
shrubbery aud flowers, and, above all,
walks and drives and seats where the
public may view the river and the sur
roundings which have thus been Gre
sted.

when the topic Of the pleasures OF a
summer spent in Washington is dis
cussed with any enthusiasm. They

r CONSIDERABLE interest was
- aroused the other day by the re-
port that the president had given a
permit to man who wanted to see
with his own eyes the original copy OF
the Declaration of Independence, or
rather to see what is left of that
precious and venerated document
However, the permit must have died

but II such permit had been issued and
had been presented at the department

holder to have the first view of the
Declaration of Independence that has

Even before 1903 It had been kept
In the safe, but 1t was often brought
out for admiring citizens to scrutinize
and to exclaim over Since 1903 the

There had been too much light of

Guarding the Precious Declaration

too much folding, too much rolling, too
much handling, and, alas! too much
stealing of its immortal language by
wet press copying operation resorted
to in 1920.
For 80 years the Declaration of Inde-
pendence hung in the light, and the
longer 1t hung there the more neces-
sary the light became. for the ink that
was left grew paler and paler until It
was hard to make out any of the sig
natures, except the big black name OF
John Hancock. Finally it became evil
dent that If anything except the
parchment was to be left the docu.
ment would have to be kept in the
dark.
So 1t went into retirement in the
safe, being brought out only upon spe-
cial requests.
In 1903 the late John Hay, then sec
rotary of state, appointed commit
tee to examine the condition of the
declaration and to recommend what
should be done to preserve 1t. The
committee found 1t creased ard bereft
of its ink, but they were pleased to
find no evidence of mold or other dis
migrating agents" They recommend
ed that the document be kept dark
and dry, and their recommendation
has been religiously followed.
