President Edwards opened the post
prandial exercises with some humor
ous, pointed remarks relative to the
bravery and courage possessed by the
speakers who wero to follow him, and
welcomed the guests on behalf of Hob
ert Jloriis lodge. Incidentally, ho out
lined the policy and principles of the
order and added that they are "tho
people."
In a very complimentary vein Jlr. Ed
wards Introduced Prof. George Howell,
superintendent of tho public schools,
as "tho Oliver Wendell Holmes of Hyde
Park," who was toastmaster ot the
evening. Jlr. Howell temarked that lie
was not n poet or a saint, but he wag
highly honored In being selected as the
toastmaster of such an assembly. With
out entering Into any extended re
marks, the professor Introduced John
J. Davles, who was assigned the toast
"St, David." His remarks were ac fol
lows: J. J. DAVIES ADDUEP.
Thero Is no gainsaying tho fact that the
celebration ot this day by the Welsh peo
ple Is somewhat of an anomaly although
ll can bo Just as truthfully said that
anomalies of this kind arc such as the
world Is fast learning to admire both m
nation and Individual. We almost unl
crsally a Protestant people so much so
that wo aro almost as universally a non
conformist pecplu find ourselves today
honoring ono who In his day and coun
try was tho chief exponent of a form of
religion which our forefathers renounced
centuries ago. lp other words St. David
was :i Catholic and wo aro Protestants.
They say polities muku queer bedfellows
and If puro politics nnd luvo of country
are after all merely synonyms then this
apparent anomaly Is Indeed a happy one.-
it certainly speaks well for St. David
and for us, his ptoplc, that tho bigotry
and intolerance so common among men
on matters of religion bavo not in tins
case, at least, triumphed over lovo ot
country and a proper appreciation of
that which Is good wherever It Is found,
t'ni'ortunately wo know very little about
St. David so llttlo that tho conscientious
historian Is willing to give much moro
than a pai-slng uotico but this much Is
certain, namely, that ho lived dining the
sixth century, thnt he was possessed of
great eloquence, that he was very zeal
ous In tho chuso of Christianity ami that
la recognition ot tills latter quality ho
was made a saint, In fact the patron
saint of Wales. When we consider the
limes In which ho lived, tlje extreme lg
noranco of tho masses, tho jealousy and
hatred of Idolatrous wot shippers, and
that Chilstiunlty as a s.'itcm was in its
Infancy, we can partly tniaglno the enor
mous zeal by which be was moved.
Another thing to bo placed to David's
credit was that In taking up a religious
life lie mndo unusual sacrifices, lielug
a. son of a priueo ho was no duubt well
supplied Willi the food tilings of earth
nnd his self denial must havo appealed
strongly to the simple minded peoplo of
his day and Imbued them with a conll
denco In his sincerity which they might
not otherwlso havo held. Fifteen hun
dred years luvo como mid gouo slneo
David mingled with his people. Wales
after many lclssltudes has finally cry,
tallzed as n logical part of tho great
English empire, she still worships the
same God and emulates the.samo Christ.
Her preachers now 111! pulpits of every
Christian country, her scholars (111 chairs
hi the world's great universities and her
missionaries have carried the work of
O oil to the heathen In every land. How
much ot this Is duo to St. David ho onn
but God knows, but none will deny tho
powerful and continued lutlucnco' of ono
good, zealous and methodical man, such
as St. David surely was.
The quartette followed with a splen
did rendition nt Protheroe's "Tell Jle,
Thou Pretty Bee," which was liberally
applauded.
jI.VYOP. JIOIP. INTRODUCED.
Mayor Jlolr.tho next speaker, was In
troduced by Toastmaster Howell, who
referred to him as "a man who has the
courage of his convictions and who
rules the city with a sovereign sway."
His honor spoko In his usual happy'
ana witty vein, interspersing his re
marks with several of thoso choice
anecdotes of which ho has a store.
He said ho knew very, llttlo about
municipal government and what ho
didn't know would. 1111 several volumes.
Hn told of his troubles as mayor and
wittily remarked that "If I live
through my term of ofllce I am sure
thnt when I reach the end of my earth
ly pilgrimage a stone enn well be laid
over my grave beating tho Inscription
'Here lies one who has como through
great tribulations. "
He referred to the fact that the rea
son for poor municipal government
was duo largely to the public Ignorance
of economics and proper methods of
sanitation. He said municipal govern
ment Is ono of thu greatest moment
to tho average citizen nnd that before
It stntn and natlonnt questions lose
their Importance. "The only way to
Improve municipal government," said
he, "Is to base our future actions upon
experience and a practical knowledge
of tho errors ot tho past."
Jlrs. George Howell then recited
"Cambria" In a most clever manner,
nfter which Miss Thomas and Jlrs.
Hundie sang with charming effect a
barcarolle by Chnmanlde.
In introducing W. 11. Lewis, who
spoke on "Welsh Loyalty," the toast
master referred to the fact that above
all other of the Welsh characteristics
loyalty was predominant.
Jlr. Lewis spoke very briefly and
stated that thero was no page of his
tory that had upon It the record ot a
Welshmen being disloyal to a right
eous cause. Ho stated that back of
tho beginning ot tho Christian era,
when tho continental people of Europe
were plunged Into the deepest despair
nnd the darkest wars, the Welsh peo
ple had customs and traditions that
would be a credit to any nation at the
beginning of tho present day. "And,"
said he, "that spirit of loyalty Is stilt
fresh today In this country."
SPEAKEll PARK'S REMARKS.
Hon. John K. Fnrr was the next
speaker, responding to the toast
"Every JIan a Legislator." In Intro
ducing him, Prof. Howell spoke of him
ns "a believer In free speech, free news
papers and free passes."
Jlr. Fnrr dwelt upon tho fact that
the people of this country are the real
legislators and said that a greater In
terest Is now being manifested among
people In the Importance of being
American citizens. "The people are be
ginning to realize," said he, "thnt they
command; that they aro the masters
and the men they put In office the ser
vants. Let the thinking men of this
country never miss the opportunity to
Impress upon tho peoplo the responsi
bility that rests on their shoulders. If
there are bosses In politics. It Is be
cause of tho Indifference of tho people
and If there aro factional differences
among tho member? of a great party,
ns there are now in this state, It ts
because of the apathy ot tho people."
After the quartette had rendered
"Banks of Allan Water" and "There
Was an Old Woman Who Lived In a
Shoo" In ni delightful manner, Profes
sor Howell Introduced W. Gnylord
Thomas, who spoke on "The Lights In
tho Court House." Jlr. Thomas made
only a few brief remarks and said
among other things:
"Tho lawyer Is needed to take care
of the rest ot mankind. I say it with
all earnestness that the lawyers as a
class aro oqunl If not superior to nny
other class of citizens in their efforts
to uphold the lights and liberties of
all tho peoplo. at all times, and In all
places. Even-handed in Justice Is tho
cord that binds all civilized people to
gether, and I wish that every child
in this land could be taught to always
revere and honor the temple of Justice
and to remember the men who have
built up the system ot law now pre
vailing." THE LADIES TOASTED.
Attorney C. E. Daniels was Intro
duced to toast the ladles. He said:
Jtr. Toastmaster, Ladles nnd Gentle
men: Had Adam died before he lost tho
lib which became woman, the makers of
banquets would for apes have been In a
sorry plight. Tho memory of man run
neth not back to the time when diuiiis
halls have not risounded with praises
or tingled with cynicisms for more of
that ono lib than of all that wero left,
rndoubtedly the ladles around this festnl
board tonight will dgreo that the poet
Mooio had the neuralgia, thu gout or th'j
mitten when bo wrote what has been
made tho post-prandlal text for me:
"My onlv books
Were a woman's looks.
And folly's what they taught me."
Who can detino a woman! The wisdom
of u Solomon or tho tongue of a De
mosthenes falls. Says ono writer: "Somo
men nro different. All women are alike."
Says another, more sentimentally In
clined: "Woman Is a delightful musical
Instrument of which lovo Is the bow und
man the artist." Woman Is always most
cbarltablo to woman, even though It 1ms
been written, "Friendship between tW3
women is nothing but a conspiracy
against a third." They aro a reticent,
conservative people, saying llttlo though
they may talk much. They, weave, no
tangled webs by learning thu art of de
ception, socially or otherwise. They dis
dain (lattery us meat or drink though
ono writer has dared to think that "Tho
bust way to flatter a woman Is to speal:
III of her rival." They caro not for man's
companionship, and throw to tho winds
of tho four corners of the earth tho
soundness of tho dnctrlno that "Mar
riage with women Is tho truo road to
Paradise."
Why speak harshly or cynically of wo
man? Not a man ever snw tho light of
Geil's glorious sun but that his whole
life was Influenced by woman. Wo open
our oyei on a hnilon limited by n moth
er's love. Wo battlo through life against
enemies whom dnrts lose their stlug
when our wounds uro soothed by wo
man's caressing hands. Wo closo our
eyes hi eternity's slumber to the lullaby
of u religion taught us at our mother'
l:nce. It M woman whose hltlucnce has
made American manhood fearless. U Is
the presence of woman that has gar
dened the earth as with roses from
heaven.
CLOSING SOXQ.
The quartette then sang with splen
did effect Plnsutl's "Good Night." after
which the delightful evening was closed
with the singing of "Heu Wlad Fy

TREASURER KELLY
NEED NOT WORRY
ELECTION CONTEST RESULT
MATTERS LITTLE TO HIM.
Time for Filing Requests with the
Examiners Is Again Extended.
Interesting Question That Would
Arise if Mr. Langstaff, of Ohio,
Was Declared the Winner Green
Ridge Presbyterian Church Files a
Remonstrance Suit Against tho
Trolley Company The Peck's Had
a Short Married Life.
Another extension was granted yes
terday to tho time nllnwed the attor
neys In the Langstaff election contest
to fllo their requests with tho examin
er for findings of fact and law.
The original time set was January
20, 1000. When the day came 'Mr. Hoi- '
gate, of counsel for tho contestant,
asked that an extension bo granted on
tho ground thrtt he wns left alone In
the c.io by tho death of his associate,
Jlr. Hamilton, nnd had not had time
to prepare tho requests. An extension
was granted for two weeks, and when
the two weeks were up another tw.i
weeks' extension was granted. Again
the attorneys were not prepared an't
court further extndcd the time to
Jtnrch 1, yesterday. When yesterdaji
arrived tho requests wero still unpre
pared and another twenty days' ex
tension was necessary.
It Is now a certnlnty that the contest
can not bo decided until after license
court business Is all attended to, aril
as tho treasurer's ofllce from that time
on Is conducted at u very small profit,
if not a loss, Mr. Kelly Is not nt all
concerned In the outcome except in so
far as success would give htm some
personal gratification.
In case Jtr. LangstafC should win the
county would possibly bo without a
treasurer, ns ho has moved out of the
county and state nnd is nt present a
resident of Ohio. H the contest should
show that Jlr. Kelly was not elected
he of course would have to vacate and
then the court would bo called upon
to deal with the nice question of who
is county treasurer. It might be that
Jlr. Schadt would be called upon to
go back Into the office under the pro
vision of law that ho shall hold office
until his successor Is duty qualified.
This, however, Is hardly worth dis
cussing, as there Is nmall possibility
of It ever coming to pass, for In the)
first place Jtr. Klly s majority Is
quite as likely to bo Increased as de
creased by the result of the contest,
and In the second place there Is faint
hope of the contest being ended before
Mr. Kelly's term expires.
Church Makes a Protest.
Remonstrance No. 4 was tiled yester
day against the granting of the retail
liquor license application of Charles
Kalne, who wants to locnto a hotel at
the corner of the Boulevard and Oly
phnnt road.
The Green nidge Presbyterian church
In the latest remonstrant. Rev. I. J.
Lansing, pastor; Kev. U K. Foster,
assistant pastor: W. G. Parke, E. B.
Sturges, M. C. Carr, P. I Hitchcock
and T. P. Wells, elders, representing
the congregation, set forth. In a lengthy
petition, that the church has estab
lished a mission chapel at the corner
of East Parker street and Olyphant
road, and that the location of the pro
posed hotel Is only 703 feet from tho
chapel, and that the establishing of n
drinking place thero would be preju
dicial to the welfare of the mission.
Attorneys F. U Hitchcock and T. F.
Wells will represent the petition when
it comes before court next week.
Altogether there are 647 applications
on file. This would Indicate that thero
are at least half a hundred new houses
applying for licenses, as there were 612
licenses granted last yeaf.
Suit Against Railway Company.
Through Attorneys r. W. Gallagher
