As Mr. Beveridge entered the hall the band played "America" and the large audience standing gave, cheer after cheer which the Senator ac knowledged by bowing. In a very few remarks Chairman Gardener of the County Committee introduced the senator to the large audience. In part the senator said: " Theodore Roosevelt is not the t the j man of Avar that he is pictured to be ; by the people ot the opposition, lie is more a man of peace. lie has done more to prevent more serious bloodshed in the far East than any other man. Look at some of the phrases of all of our war presidents and they were not called men of war; they were called men of peace. A few days ago President Roosevelt told a number of English -parliament members that he would do all in his power to gee that a meeting of the peace commission should be held at the Hague in the near future. He is regarded by all of the foreign members of this commission to be a man of peace and as such is held in high esteem by them," said Senator Beveridge in regard to the peace question at the Coliseum last night "I wish first of all to congraulate the .Young Men's Republican Club and its drum corps and its glee club.

CONGRESS OF ART AND SCIENCE

SESSIONS HELD IN CONGRESS HALL AND ELSEWHERE ELIZABETH L. HORNEY Writes About the Important Gather-ing-r-Man With a Past Notes of the Fair. Correspondence Palladium: St. Louis, September 29 Last week all intelligent persons attending the Fair who could do so divided their time between visiting the buildings and going to the International Congress of Arts and Sciences. The opening and closing session were mass meetings, held - in '.Festival ..Hall,' but the intervening sessions were held in sections, most of Avhich met in the Hall of Congresses. ' ; W Presiden t Francis in h is opening . address said in part: "Thi Congress is the most, comprehensive in its plan and scope of any ever held and is the first of its kind. May the atmosphere of this universal exposition charged as it is with the restless energies , of every phase 'of human activity and permeated by that ineffable. sentiment of universal brotherhood engendered by the intelligent sons of God, inspire you with even higher thoughts to the end that by your future labors you may be still more helpful to the human race and place yourvfellowman under yet deeper, obligai turns" ; ' ; . - -' rr f. It is refreshing , to know that tjiis, the, great est hi v the world 's educa-. flnalHing rn'choosirig presiding officer was not half so concerned about securing an "up-to-date" man as it was to get one who "had a past" and so that venerable and venerated astronomer, Simon Newcomb, Avas selected and his masterly address closed the first meeting. If the Globe Democrat could honor him by printing .his speech entire, I will quote for your edification a portion of his words. "Gentlemen and scholars, all ! You do not visit our shores to find great collections in which centimes of humanity have given expres' sion on canvas and in marble to their hopes, fears and aspirations. Nor do you expect institutions and buildings hoary with age. But as you feel the vigor latent in the fresh air of these expansive prairies; as you study the institutions, which we haA'e founded for the benefit of humanity; as you meet the men, Avho in the short space of one century, have transformed this valley from a savage wilderness into what it is today, then youmay find compensation for the AA-ant of a past like yours, by seeing with prophetic eye, a future world power of Avhich this region shall be the seat. We hope that Avhen, after your all toofleeting sojourn in our midst, you return to your own shores, you Avill long feel the influence of the air you haA-e breathed in an infusion of increased vigor in pursuing your varied labors. ' ' Tn the meetings of the sections were heard the utterances of some of the Avorld's intellectual giants and among those Avho drew the largest crowd Ave re Presidents Hadley and Jordan, Professor Loeb, Felix Adler, Dr. Wm. T. Harris and Bishop Spaulding. The last named, the Rt. ReA John Spaulding, Bishop of Peoria, AArho talked upon the "Development! of Educational Ideas in the Nineteenth Century." Avas immensely popular for he is a noted pulpit orator. He is an adocate of public schools and a belieAer in the independence of Avoman, and in his" remarks, especially upon the atter subject, he Avas cheered to the echo. "Faith in education gave the same rights to men and Avomen. In nothing is the present age more superior to all others than in the education op its women. The Germans Avere leaders in deAeloping educational ideas, but the Americans were the first to perceive that there can not be a free and fair minded people Avhen the women are not free and fair (Continued on Page Five.)

COL. BAIN AT

YEARLY HE ENTERTAINS ABOUT 3,000 FRIENDS AND OTHERS WITH A FINE TALK Sessions of Friends Yesterday and Today The Important Happenings. "I am surprised at the ignorance of liishop Potter of New York in establishing a saloon" said Col. George W.- Bain of Kentucky in a temperanqe lecture before the Indiana Yearly Meeting yesterday afternoon. Mr. Bain; scored the New Yorker in very strdn& terms. Among other things he $said that the trouble with the Bishop was that he had. been associat ing" too much Avith the elite of New York and had not come in. contact wit n;-the common drunkard. All of the'remarks in regard to-Bishop Potteriwere received with' much applause by the large audience present. Col. Bain presented the limiior ouestioit in a Aery graphic manner! and kept the large audience of 3,5(10 people continually in tears or in bursts of applause. In part he sjiid: "The common drunkard you see on the street is not entirely res ponsible for his condition but he is jus a small link of a gigantic chain. ihifc chain is composed of the drunk ard himself, the licensed saloon, the licensed laAv, the license legislature and last of all you people who hold iirfyonr hands that ballot which gives freedom to the license legislature. If ry one of you would cast your baliou wnere it Dejongs on tne next election day, the liquor question would soon be a thing of the past. For thir ty fie years IhaAre voted what I thought Avere the right principles and every time people have told me that I have lost my vote. But. I. will con tinue loosing them until I die." Col. Bain gave some very vivid word illustrations of the crime that liquor is committing on young me. He gaA-e an illustration of how the Aoters of Kentucky Avere treated at the time of the election of William Goebel as pwernor. Mr. Bain Avas folloAAed by Mr. J. J. Humphrey's presi dent of the Indianapolis anti saloon league. Mr. Humphreys followed along the same lines as those set forth by Mr. Bain and gaA-e a strong plea for the cause of temperance and the dovfnfall of the saloon. y The fore part of the afternoon session was taken up Avith report-? of the work of the Home Mission Association. The executive commiUemade a very detailed statement of the work that had been accomplished in the different districts by the local association. During the past year the Association has distributed clothing and provisions of the value of $245.59 and money $1,469.87. Talks rela-tiA-e to mission Avork were made by Miss Mary White who is a missionary from IoAa to Jamica and Theodore Candler of this city. Julius S. NeAvby Avas made secretary of th? committee in place of Emma Hedges. Friday Morning. "What to do with the ministers Avho have groAvn old in the service of the church," aa.is the topic Avhich evoked the most discussion at the morning session of the Yearly Meeting today. Nearly all of the leaders of the Friends made speeches regarding this important subject. It was pointed out that churches of other denominations had made plans in resrard to keeping their ministers Avhen they became old except the Friends. It was also noted that this Avas perhaps what kept a large number of young men from enterng the ministery of the Friends church. The meeting decided to appoint a nominating committee which is to look into the matter and rejxrt at the next Yearly Meeting. Those appointed to the nominating committer? were: C. S. WinsloAv, J. A. Goodard, M. M. White. Mahala Jay, Caroline Edgerfon, Riley Garner, Elvira Woodard, Eli Jay, Margaret Hosea, R. Parker and W. A. Macy. Statistical Secretarv Lawrence

Rip Van Winkle Avas put on at the Gennett last night ta a fair-sized audi ence. The Beveridge meeting at the ! Coliseum kept a number of persons from attending. There are few plays that possess the enduring qualities of "Rip Van Winkle." The name of Jefferson has almost made the famous character of "Rip Van Winkle" a classic on the American stage. It's story is almost as familiar as a household word, but the Rip Van Winkle of Washington Trving's tale is only dim shadow compared Avith the ripe rounded serene humanity of the character as Mr. Jefferson portrays it. He has the exquisite art of bringing out all the loA-able qualities of the old vagabond, and making his audience think his poor hard-working Avife the sinner, instead of the graceless Rip. C.B.

NOTED SCHOLAR AND STATESMAN PASSED AWAY

HAD RARE ATTAINMENTS His Voice Heard Often on Great Public Questions Connected With Educational Institutions. Worcester, Mass., September 30. Senator George F. Hoar died here this morning at 1:49. He had been near death's door for some time and the end was not unexpected. Few men have filled a larger place in the public life of the country dur. ing the past half century than Senator George Frisbie Hoar. For many years his voice has been heard in the halls of congress and elseAA-here Avhe great questions of public nolicv Avere I up for discussion, and always he luv spoken wit lira re eloquence n: poAver for the highest ideals. SENATOR GEOKGK T. HO At. It is doubtful if any member of the senate, in the history of that body, AAas ever connected with so many learned societies or with so many educational institutions as Mr. Hoar. Here is a partial list : . An overseer of Harvard College since 1S74; president of the association of the Alumni of Harvard; formerly a regent of the Smithsonian Institution; formerly president and now vice president of the American Antiquarian Association; president of the American Historical Association; president of the board of trustees of Clark University; trustee of Peabody Museum of Archaeology; trustee of Leicester Academy; memler of the Massachusetts Historical Society, of the American Historical Society, of the Historic-Genealogical Society and of the Virginia Historical Society; felloAv of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences; corresponding member of the Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Sciences and trustee of the Peabody Fund. George F. Hoar began his life in Massachusetts.'" He was born in Concord, in that State, August 29, 1S25, His early bent for education made him a prominent pupil when as a boy he attended Concord Academy., He never had more means than was necessary for a comfortable living, and he is one of the man3T comparatively poor men of the senate today. He. was graduated from Harvard College in 1840, and from the Dane La School of Harvard University several years later. He settled at Worcester, married and began the practice of law. His equal aptitude for books and for politics is illustrated by the fact that in those first years in Worcester he was City Solicitor and President of the Trustees of the City Library.
