THE RUTHERFORDTON, SUN, . THURSDAY MORNING, JANUARY 5, SJ905. GREAT ST. LOUIS FAIR HAS ENDED. Surplus Will Be Small-All Debts Against The Exposition Company Paid Attendance 18,000,000. ST. LOUIS, December 1. The Lonif iana Purcliase Exposition lias euded. The stupendous and magnificent exposi tion, whose tendrils of interest have ex tended into every portion of the civilized world and even into aboriginal recesses, bringing within the gates of St. Louis millions of visitors from throughout the entire world, has run its course, and now passes into history as probably having comprised the . most representative col lection of the resources, industries, art. people and customs of the world - ever assembled. The best order has" been maintained throughout; there have been a few fires, but all were of small moment with the exception of the dei t .-action of the House of Hoo Hoo, and the partial destruction of the Missouri Building, re cently. The former was immediately rebuilt. No loss of , life has occurred during the .exposition from accidents. St. Louis has proffered her most gracious Itospitality to the world, and it has been accepted. Throngs of visitors have poured in to attend the exposition with the expecta tion of being pleased and satisfied. They have departed amazed and gratified. The opinion has been expressed at all times, on all sides and withont reserve, that tha Louisiana Purchase Exposition has been a success. ' The man probably most prominently known in connection with the World's Fair is the president, David R. Francis, and it was deemed . fitting that, the final day should be designated as "Francis Day," in his honor. - "This exposition has been the work cf my life," said President Francis. "It has consumed my entire time for the past four years, but every hour has been an hour of pleasure to me. I have ex hausted my stock of adjectives in trying to describe this fair. It is as difficult to do it justice as it is to paint the lily." The closing exercises were held at the base of the Louisiana Purchase 'monu ment, in the plaza of St. Louis, where were held seven months ago the exercises that formally opened the gates to the world. The principal speeches deliver ed were by Governor Dockery, of Mis souri, and President Francis. President Francis, in his address, -spoke of the lasting influence of the fair, "which marks a new epoch in the intellectual and industrial advancement of the world and the dawn of a new epa in the international relations of govern ments and people," In conclusion, he said: "May this enterprise with which we have been connected for nearly seven ytjrs past bring into still closer brother hood all the nations and all the people who have participated in it. May it deepen our patriotism. May it strength en oiit love for a benign Providence that smiles upon us." . Promptly at 4 o'clock all the great ex hibit places were closed and visitors were excluded. In the melace of Agri culture onslaughts were made on some of the exliibits, where the settings were composed of straw and fragile material and for a time general demolition was threatened, but prompt action in affect ing a general ejectment put a stop to the threatened turmoil. As the night drew on, throngs concen trated in the main avenues to view for the last time the magnificent electric il lumination. One solid stream of human ity swept through the Pike from end - to end. The spirit of revelry was there. Steadily the ' white bulbs silhouetted the exhibit palaces against the night, periodically the illumination of the Ter race cf States surmounting Festival Hill changed from white to red, then to green and then back to white. Over on Agri cultural Knoll the great floral clock clicked off the minutes of the departing pageant. , And in the night rang out the tones of the massive .bell, as the mid night hour was tolled by the great clock. Instantly a hush seemed to pervade the entire" grounds. The glowing electric bulbs slowly began dimming, the pulsa tions of the great engines that drove the cascades gradually died down. The light" faded steadily, diminishing unt 1 but a faint glow was perceptible. Sud denly there was darkness,1 and the Lou isiana Purchase Exposition had passed! into the chronicles of history. SURPLUS WILL BE SMALL. ST. LOUIS, December 1. While it will be impossible to obtain the actual receipts and expenditures of the Lou isiana Exposition Company, before the middle of December Secretary Walter B. Stevens, of the World's Fair, made the following statement to the Asso ciated Press to-night : "From reports that have been sub mitted of the admissions to the grounds up to 9 o'clock we estimate that the at tendance on "Francis Day" will be a few thousands in excess of 200,000, and that the attendance for the exposition period will be in the neighborhood of 18,000,000. "In round numbers, fhe Exposition Company has expended $22,000,000 since the inception of the World's Fair pre-. . ject, and the expenditures of the several : States and Territories have reached a total of $9,000,000. The receipts since the opening day, April 30th, ' have amounted to about $10,000,000, consist ing of admissions and .concession royal- . ties: " :, v-.'r : - '-. : ! ' ; . While it is impossible to state exactly the financial condition of the company on this, the closing day, it can be author itatively announced that all debts against . the company have been paid,: with the exception of a few current accounts,' such ad salaries, etc;, and theses will, "it is thought, consume nearly all the sur plus, bo that there will only be a very small amount left for the stockholders."
