Efforts.

After rather stormy career the
Governors BILL establishing central
board to direct the agricultural work
OF the State, was favorably reported
last night from the House committee
on Finance The Committee on AErl..
culture and Mining previously reported
this measure with a recommendation
that It do not pass, although all e!e-
n.ents had apparently been satisfied.
Several men in favor or the plll
presented II to the committee yester-
day morning. Mr.. Page, one or its
patrons in the House, said that It was
to save people from going over the
same ground two or three times When
he left the bill with the other conf
mittee, lie thought all was fair sailing,
but an unfavorable report had been
the unexpected result He had never
been able to find out the reason. There
must be. he said, some fault In 1t
had been unable to discover.

LEE ST At UE FOR
FIELD OF BAT TIE
Senator Edmondson Makes Flo
quent Address on Gettys-
burg Monument.

II want General Lee riding on
Traveller to look right in the faces
of those people, just as he did in life,
said senator Edmondson yesterday. in
speaking of the monument to the Nir-
ginia troops to be placed on the bat
tlefeld of Gettysburg, in speech OF
true and touching feeling. The SEN
ate had under discussion the bin to
renew the appropriation for that mon
ument, and while it was not contested,
the gallant old Confederate took the
floor to make some explanation of the
work and aims OF the commission APP
pointed to execute the trust reposed
by the General Assembly Senator
Daniel, Former Governor swanson and
others are colleagues OF Senator Ed
mundson on the commission
THE monument is to be placed right
where General Lee formed his army
on July 3. 1863, at Gettysburg at the
head of Armisteads Brigade" said
Senator Edmundson, mot far from the
Bloody Angle We wanted to put it
on the crest of the hill where Pickett
and his immortal followers went down
in death. but the government had or
dered that no monument shall be placed
at that spot. Twenty years ago the
concession of Confederate monument
at Gettysburg would not have been
thought of. but time, as II rolls on.
seems to have melted the hearts of
both the North and the South.
Yes, they tell us we lost there at
Gettysburg. but it was a drawn battle.
We returned in peace. We were not
molested. They did not try to follow
us or engage us further. They just
said to us: Go in peace.
Now. upon that great arena Of a
mighty conflict. hundreds Of statues
perpetuate the Federal generals and
men who fought there. There, facing
the South, are General Meade, General
Hancock and a legion of others and
want to put General Lee there on
Traveller, right in front of them, fac
ing them just as he did in that battle.
1 want him to sit there and face them
for all time to come
Senator Edmondson spoke straight
from his heart. with the simple elo-
quence of sincerity and loyalty to the
days that were. His speech was not
expected, and its welcome was as spon-
taneous as its origin, for feeling ap-
plause interrupted several times. With
the reverence which one who wore the
proud gray coat of a Confederate major
might use to "Marse Robert" he paid
his eloquent tribute to him. There was
a mist in the eyes OF many of the
members of the Senate when he con.
cluded. and many said openly that it
was the most eloquent speech of the
session.

Practically what Epictetus. had TO

that he should never make himself

II seems that modern life has added

which led MariUs to take as his motto

fecit;" kind of tender susceptibility
to the necessary sorrow and desola-
ton of human life which led him to 60
softly all his day in fear OF hurting
others. The final quality. not once
limited at in the earlier ideals. is that
of self-effacement. which Browning

Beauties of the Marble Building.

With three-quarters of a million dol
lars provided by Mr.. Carnegie for
building. the Pan-American bureau
was enabled to devote the s25O.000
on hand to the purchase of site. and
a most admirable tract of several
acres was secured N an ideal location
south of the White House and over
looking the Potomac river. Here a
surprisingly beautiful marble palace
has been reared from the prize de-
signs submitted in the competition
which was entered by architects in all
parts of the country-and. indeed. of
the continent There is a distinct
touch of the Spanish in the architec-
ture. markedly in the introduction OF
tile roof and the provision of
patio" or inner court such as consti-
tutes the most distinctive feature of
the typical Latin. American mansion.
The whole architectural policy in the
case of this building has been to pro-
vide a structure more suggestive of
palatial private residence than a pub
lie office structure.
The patio" or picturesque court

while the quaint pavement. white

Spanish atmosphere. Much space in
the rooms which open from this pa

mortal library, the great collection of
books on Pan-American subjects
which is one of the principal features
of the bureau. There are stack rooms
for 10000 volumes; a fireproof vault
for valuable documents and a reading
room 40 by 100 feet in size.
Offices occupy most of the second
floor of the new building, the princi-
pal apartments being designed for the
