used and but few nails; the
hand-axe, the locust pin. Webster's
immortal blue back is the text book.

they stand, and which is covered with
wild . forest, rattle weed, fern and
golden rod.''

NEWS BY WIRE.
ST.
Locis, October 3. Till this
morning tne iresiaent nas Deen xne
guest of Mayor Francis, but today
and tomorrow he belongs to the peo
ple. Fairer weather could not be
asked." The skies are clear and the
gentle north winds are - sufficiently
cold to make light overcoats desira
ble. The streets, cleaned' by last
night's shower, are free from dust,
and everywhere along the line of the
President s ride to the fair grounds
the sidewalk- are crowded to their
utmost capacity. The President's
carriage, drawn by a quartette of
richly caparisoned, high-stepping,
black horses, and' followed by five
other carriages, provided for his trav
eling companions and the local com
mittee in charge, reached the Francis
mansion in Vandeventer Place a few
minutes before 10 o'clock. At 10.15
the President and Jlrs. Cleveland
appeared at the door of the mansion
and were applauded by a crqwd
of ladies and children that had gath
ered in the park in front of the resi
dence. There was a noticeable ab
sence of men and the dresses of the
people indicated a preponderance of
the better classes Major C (J. Kain-
water entered the;-' carriage with the
President and wife, and in a few min-
u , i . ii and disadvantage to our body politic,
the fair grounds, escorted by a 6q uaP? T , f. i
of mounted police and the citizens'
committee in carriages. Hundreds
of vehicles, crowded with people,
waited on Grand Avenue at the en
trance of . Vandeventer Place and
joined the procession, which was
strung out along the avenue for more
than a mile. There was no noise what
ever along the route, except the clat
ter of horses hoofs on the roal and the
tramp .of thousands of feet upon
thejbeaten walks. No mishap or in
cident occurred to mar the pleasant
morning drive ana at lU.io tne party
arrived at the gate oi tne fair grounds.
The drive to the fair grounds was
made at a trot. It was : "children's''
day arid the youngsters were out in
great force. They, with their moth
ers, nurses and friends, packed the
seats of the amphitheatre and the
surrounding, promenade to the num
ber of sixty thousand., A brass band
in the pagoda in the centre attempted
to make itself heard,' but the shrill-
voiced congregation made everything
but the bass drum inaudible. The
visitors did notalight. After driving
round the amphitheatre track a halt
was made and Mrs. Cleveland was pre
sented by the lady superintendent of
the kindergarten schools with a hand
some bank of flowers. The children-,
led by bands, sang "Hail Columbia'
and tie cortege, after a drive through
the fair grounds, made its way back
to the city, where they went directly
to the Merchants Exchange. Mrs.
Cleveland did not accompany the
President to the Exchange, but was
left en route at the residence of the
mayor, whejice she went to that of
Mrs. Scanlan, one of society's leaders,
where the ladies of St. Louis had an
opportunity to pay their respects.
On arriving at the Merchants 1.x-.
ange the President was taken to
the directors' reom, where a large
number of representative citizens from
the interior of the State were intro
duced to him by counties. When this
ceremony was ever the re&ident was
escorted to the mam hall of the t,x-1
change. . j , ;
The immense room, whica is zlo
feet long and 150 wide, was jammed
to its utmost capacity with people,
and the President had difficulty in
getting from the reception room to
the1 platform. On the hrst appear
ance of the President loud cheers
went up from, the entire multitude,
and as he ascended the platform the
enthusiasm was intense. Mr. Frank
Gaienne, president of the Merchants'
Exchange, introduced Mayor Francia
arid declared this the most auspicious
day for St. Louis within her history.
Mayor Francis then welcomed tne
President to the city and State, and
after another explosion of cheers the
President responded as follows:
If. I am expected to make an
extended speech on this oc
casion, I am afraid that I
shall disappoint you; and this I
should be sorry to do after Laving
succeeded at last, through much trib
ulation, in standing face to face with
my St. Louis friends. The tribula
tion of which I speak has arisen from
the extreme kindness of a vast num
ber of American peoplend the cor
dial invitations they Mave terdered
me to stop ana see tnm on my way
to you. x our city was the objective
point of my travel , in this direction,
but it nas sometimes, seemeu to me
that every town between Washington
and nere nas oeen represented as be
ing directly oh my route, and it has
been hard to convince these kind and
and enthusiasticjcitiensthat it would
not be entirely easy, within the time
at my .disposal, to pay them
a visit. My own inclinations
leading me in the direction of their
desires it has been a difficult matter
to resist their importunities, but I
have made up my mind that the peo
pie of St. Louis are to blame for tho
entire perplexity and disappointment
which this niattor has caused, for it
was through them that I was induced
to leave home at all. I expect that
any thing I might say concerning your
J State. or city in:the way of laudation
or congratulation would hardly equal
your own estimate of these subjects.
I believe there' was a time when St.
AfjOuis was jealous cf Chicago. I don't
I Sow whether this condit ion continues
or.n6t but I hope it does. While
you can hardly expect lookers
on to take ; sides in such a
contest we - are interested to the
extent that such, a struggle adds to
thfe growth and; improvement of the
country at large. Both of these
citaes exemplify in a wonderful de
gree how completely and how speedi
ly 'American energy and bustling in
genuity utilizes every available ele
ment of municipal growth and how
every useful type of - the world's pop
ulation is assimilated to the grand
purpose of American expansion. I
am here reminded of what I suppose
to be a fact, that more than one-half
of 1 your voters are of foreign birth
ami parentage, i The growth and in
crease of your city in every way indi
cate, 1 think, tbas tne condition oi
your population thus, made apparent
isly no means to be deprecia
ted, and my ' observation during
a long residence in a city similarly
situated has ;led' me to know
thswralueto any community of the
industrious, frugal and thrifty men
and women who come from foreign
lands to find new homes with us, who
invest themselves with our citizen
ship, and who are satisfied and con
tent with the freedom of our govern
ment and with our laws and institu
tions. The linel is easily drawn be
tween them and.thex non assimilating
emigrants ho seek our shores solely
for purposes involving disturbance
I hope I may without impropriety
say this much in recognition of what
hafs been done ! for St. Louis by its
naturalized citizens -as well as in re
membrance of raanykiad and valued
frfends . and associates of former
diys. I . deem myself especially
fortunate in I beiag with you
at a time when the manufactures
and products of yourj city and the
surrounding country are on exhibition
at, your fair, one' of the largest in the
country. Those! who seek the best
and surest evidence of your substan
tia pro&pects may well be satisaed,
Here I see things which are conclu
sije proof of thrift and wealth and
comfortable homes. , 1 'hope to see
besides while here certain features of
your city's life which just at this time
are uusually displayed and which
establishes the fact that the people
of St. Louis, with .all their business
encrasemeEts and with all their toil
and stirring trade, are not averse to
pleasure and enjoyment. I hope that
you will find, your visitors interested
sight-seers and of all things you
may, be assured -i-ho we ver much you
may impress us with- the greatness of
y&ur city, we aire certain to have our
hearts filled with, a grateful apprecia
tion of the kindness and hospitality
of
ycur people.
