Phila. Will Have
To Settle Unpaid
Bills SesQui Show

Philadelphia, Nov. 30.--lH)-FOrmal
observance of century and a half
OF. American independence came to
an end tonight with the official close
of the sesquicentennial exposition.
Viewed purely as celebration of
great event in American history
the 150th anniversary of the signing
of the Declaration of Independence
the exposition was regarded by many
as having accomplished its patriotic
purpose.
Financially like some other EXPOSE
lions the sesqui was not a success.
The city of Philadelphia will have to
foot the unpaid bins.
Conceived as worlds fair of gig
antic proportions but reduced in size
and grandeur when many foreign
countries and American states failed
to participate, the exposition was
financed by the city of Philadelphia
with the exception of comparatively
small appropriations by the federal
government and the state of Pennsyl-
vania.
Counsel tonight had on their
desks bills aggregating more than
100000, to pay which bond issue
was authorized at the election early
this month. 1t has been estimated
eAiRt viz o'iOW SOoI IiC City VI MA -
delphia approximately 1000, 900 not
including 100000 contributed
by citizens through the purchase of
participating certificates.
More than 100000 persons visited
the exposition In the sixth months it
was open.
One of the largest crowds that ever
gathered in one spot in this country
to participate in a religious rite as
sembled on a Sunday in October
when Cardinal Dougherty celebrated
mass in the vast stadium. Also the
largest crowd that ever paid to see
prize fight was within the confines
of the same stadium in September
when Gene Tunney won the worlds
heavyweight crown from Jack Demp-
Sey.
The end was marked by the final
booming of cannon and shrilling of
bugles over the grounds as city of
metals, augmented by Governor
Trumbull of Connecticut and his staff
reviewed the final maneouvers of the
military units at the exposition.
Today was both Connecticut Dav
and Directors Day. The Connecti-
cut executive was met on his arrival
by Mayor kendrick and his aides and
was escorted under the big illuminat-
ed Liberty bell guarding the en-
trance, while cannon from Camp
Anthony Wayne sounded his salute.
The final review took place from a
special stand on the court of honor

was sounded on the bugle, while the
national colors were lowered from tbe

American Tourists
Subject Fine Speech
Before Forty Club

Some of the difficulties encounter
ed by American tourists in European
countries were referred to by Hon.
Charles A. Knight of this city who
spoke at the regular meeting and
luncheon of the Gardiner Forty Club
at American Legion hall Tuesday
noon. Mr.. knight told the members
that the country which he enjoyed
the most was Holland where he
found many customs of especial in
terest to modern Americans. He said
that there were practically no labor
saving devices, that most of the
work was done by man power even
to the hauling of heavy loads, work
that is done by automobile trucks in
this country. He spoke of the many
canals. and bikes, and the general
outline of the country.
Mr.. Knight made mention of the
troubles Of Americans to make them
selves understood in European coun-
tries, even in England where al
though the language Is the same the
accent is SO different that misun-
derstandings are frequent. In sum-
ming up his trip he told how glad
he was to get back to the United
States, quoting the story of re-
turned traveller who upon viewing
Inc lace OIL the STATUE OF Liberty In
New York harbor remarked that If
he were to that face again they
would have to turn her around"
meaning that he would not be leav-
Ing America again.
At the business session 1t was vot-
ed to retain the sum of $32 realized
from the recent dance until suf-
ficient additional sum could be Sc

purchase a surgical dressing table

Recall Annulment
Similar to ROta's
By Episcopal Bishops

New York, Nov. S0-tP)-In con-
nection with discussion of the an
nulment by Roman Catholic tri-
bunal of the Episcopalian Marl-
borough Vanderbilt wedding. the
New York Times today recalls that
in 1891 four Episcopalian bishops
annulled wedding under similar
circumstances.
Bishop William T. Manning of the
Episcopal diocese of New Yor.
criticized the Catholic annulment as
an invasion of American civil rights
and an affront to his church.
The annullment of 1891 dissolved
the marriage, as far as the church
was Concerned. of Almet F. jerks,
prominent Brooklyn judge, to
Maud E. Littlejohn. daughter of
Bishop A. n. Littlejohn. who off,
ciated at the wedding of the Duke
of Marlborough and Consuelo Van
derbilt in 1905.
The jerks Littlejohn wedding
took place in 1873 and was a so.
ciaf event of the day. Bishop John
Williams of Connecticut presided
and Walker Blaine, son of James g.
Blaine was best man. The wedding
gifts were valued at $4,000.
In March 1891, after nearly 10
years of married life, Mrs. jerks got
a divorce in Newport, r. l., charg-
ing abandonment and non support
which were not grounds for divorce
in New York nor recognized by the
Episcopal church. The divorce
caused much comment and the fol-
lowing month Bishop Littleiohn
called meeting of four bishops
who issued a decree declaring the
marriage null and void.
Between the time of the divorce
and the annullment, Mr.. jerks
married again and died in 1924 be-
ing survived by his widow and two
children. The second engagement
of Miss Littlejohn to the Rev. Mr..
Charles A. Jessup, rector of the
Episcopal church at Hollis, L. L.,
was announced in 1892, but the
wedding did not take place. In
1895. when she was SO years old, she
married the Rev. William Parke
Bird, then 20 years old. who had
been secretary to her father. The
ceremony was performed in New
york Episcopal church with the
father and mother of the bride as
the only witnesses.

Extensive changes have been made
in the workroom at the Gardiner post
Office which greatly increase the eff
cheney of the office. The sorting trays,
cancelling machine and pouches have
been brought to the front of the work
room while the sorting cages have been
moved from ting left hand side of the

er and lighter. That portion formerly
used by the carriers is now devoted
to the parcel post section, a depart
ment which has been greatly increas-
