Mr.. Albert Florence, the Mayor
Extraordinary of Stanford, being alb
sent on this eventful occasion in the
Land Of the. Paduky, 1T gushing
oil well, appointed me II br 8 to o.
M, Mayor Plenipotentiary to repre-
sent him and gush ordtory for you.
He gave me the keys IF the City of
Stanford, the gates ara wide open, l
invite you to enter joyfully. If any
Of you are hot, the cold storage plant
is close by: if any of you thirsty, we
are a mile and half up the placid
and serene waters of the st. Asaph,
drink-drink freely; if any one is
hungry, the Princess awaits you on
Main street; if you are weary in
standing, brush your trousers and sit
on the beautiful sward; any one

JOY, the oil and spirits of consola-
ton; the pomegranate of plenty; any
of you sick, battle seven times in the
fathomless waters of the st.
Asaph and be healed, but take not a
blossom or leaf from the picturesque
stream but kodak the magnificent
views all you wish.

man, or enchantress, or Loreli Of the
ST. Asaph, called me by phone at 2

the sun. or to sunrise in the morn

the Enchantress, "cut it short, boil it
down-the fewest words possible"
Ladies and Gentlemen, your May

speech, that would have entertained
YOU for hours but, being under the
influence Of the Loreli of the St
Asaph, that production has evapora
ted, and I now speak from inspira

monument, unique from the fact
there is not another ike it on "ter.
"a firma," or beneath the canopies
of Heaven; beautiful because the

monument is massive, concrete
mass of ponderosity with an iron
face. but does not resemble General
