ET SHOULD BE WITHOUT A BOTTI of Angoatura Bitters, the South Auerfean appe- tizer. Bens Manufactured ‘by Dr. J. Ask your druggist. G. B. Siegert & Jed antauges of Itineranc; From the New York Independent. Some of the most energetic and hard- working pastor in the Methodist Church say that the limitations of the itinerancy are such that, in the great centers of pop- ulation, they cannot take a commanding position and gain the influence and the leadership which are necessary to the i he est success. The inexorable law of the time-limit takes them out of their pastor- ates just when they have begun to lay foundations for permanent prosperity. Those who are most in demand go from city to city like bright particular stars, without the possibility of acquiring a pe manent habitation or becoming leading cit- izens In any of the great cities. It is not so in other denominations, and there seems to be no good reason why {t should be so in Methodism, Such modifications of the itinerancy as Are hecessary could be made without destroying the system, but the gen- eral conference refuses to make them. There is danger, that this conservatism will cripple the church in the great cities. Nobody can doubt that it has been the cause of great losses hitherto, and these losses will Increase as time goes on, and it appears that there is little hope of a rem- edy. +408. Virginia Records Found. From the Boston Glebe. The Rev. Arroti McTitus, the genealo- gist, kas rece? tly. found among the older volumes of the Tufts College library at Somerville, Mass., the accounts cf the state treasurer of Virginia for the revoluticnary year, 1777. “How, these original reports, containing nbtes of money expendefl for wages, produce, Ammunition and supplies for the continental army, .besides auto- graph receipts for pay frem thousands of revolutionary soldiers and officers, became the property of Mr. Tufts is not known, but they have been in the college library for more than thirty years, and their great value was not suspected, if they were ever even examined. Mr. Titus saw that they were really the property of the state of Virginia. Tne trustees df the institution were notified of tho fact, and a vote was taken looking to the restoration of the volumes to the rightful possessors.

TENNESSEE'S CENTENNIAL The Newspaper Expedition That Visited Nashville. Carrying a Greeting From the Na- tional to the State Capital— Incidents of the Trip. Written for The Evening Star. “She hag rounded the cycle—the tale is told; ‘The circlet fron, t sp is gold, And the leaves of ‘a wonderful past unfold ‘The garland of Tennessee, As her garments gleam in the sunlit years, Abd the songs of he children fil her eare, As the listening heart of the great world Lears ‘The paeans of Tennessee!" Notwithstanding I write pretty good poetry, myself, and it gets into print some- times, I am quite willing on this occasion to give my muse her evening off and begin this article with the closing stanzas of Mrs. Frazer-Boyle’s stately and stirring centennial poem, which was read at the opening exercises of the celebration of Tennessee's completed century of state- hood on Monday, June 1, 186, at Nash- Ville. It was to this celebration that the capital of the nation sent its delegation, consist- ing of a commission from the District of Columbia; an array of newspaper talent, seldom equaled and never excelled; the Marine Band; and no statesmen, as had been expected, owing to the fact that Mr. Cleveland, having forgotten the ‘centen- nial in the rush, vetoed the river and har- bor bill, and the statesmen remained tn Washington to show the chief executive that he could not treat Tennessee's cen- tennial in any such manner with impunity. P. 8.—It isn’t necessary to say that he was showed. The visiting delegation left Washington Saturday night at or about midnight, on a finely appointed train of sleepers, over the Southern railway, in charge of Le!and Rankin, chief of the exposition board of Mrs. Van Leer Kirkman. publictty; of Archie Butt, Washington cor- respondent Nashville Banner, and of Rep- resentative Washington of the Nashville district. The train was in the hands of Conductor Beck, who took out the Atlanta party last year, and who is making a repu- tation in that line. Suffice {t to say that each and ev one of these gentlemen worked harder than the Southern ral!way locomotives that pulled the party, ani Joe Washington was heard when he thought nobody was near him, to sigh and r; “Well, thank heaven, these centen- things come only once in a hundred travelers breakfasted at Roanoke, cne of “he Virginia cities that started with a boom ind kept it up, which several hun- dred of others did net. At Bristol, Tenn., a city which is half in Virginia and half in Tennessee, the band played in honor of ercesing the state llre; at Rogersville tion dinner of the good .oid souther: was serv at Chattanooga su; feature, A Rainy Morning. That was the morning we re ville, and everybody was so disappointec, for the city had spent a hundred thousand dollars on having the finest parade ever seen in the state, and that downpour of rain actually squelched faith, hope and charity, for a lot of very nice Nashville people spoke of the weather in the most hed Nash- disrespectful manner, some even saying things that could rot be printed. H ever, by 1 p.m. the gray in the sky con cluded to give the blue a sh and it wasn’t long until the blue and the gray were on omicable terms and the procession was moving. And such a procession! Standing, as we did, at a high point inj West End avenue, with the sweep of the valley for a mile before us, filled with an ever-moving pageant resplendent in color and gorgeous in deccration, the splendid sight was one that could not fail to inspire the beholder with the same enthus which has Inspired these Nashville people to this supcrb effort. ‘The rain had done the parade much in- jury, but it wes well perhaps that it di not show up to Its full standard of splen- dor, because if it had vis would have concluded that there could be nothing fine and other things would have been a disa pointment. As it was, it was the finest parade ever seen In Tennessee. The centennial exercises were continued at the exposition grounds in the auditor- jum with orations, music, addresses—hi torfcal and otherwise—and other ceremonies by prominent and well-known citizens, The Exposition, And here let me talk of the exp: When it was proposed to celebrate Ten- neszee’s completed century of statehood, It was natural enough to feel that the most fitting form of celebration was an exposi- tion, for by that means better than by any other could the progress of the state be shown; so the exposition was determine? upon. It went a bit slow at first, for N ville people are conservative, but the spirit grew, and within the past year an imme: amount of work has been done, not only in actual construction of park and buildings, but in the development of the idea among the people and the dissemination of infor- mation concerning it. The site of the exposition {s the West End Driving Park, which comprises about 200 acres of land beautifully adapted to the purpose, and already more than $200,000 have been expended in Improvements upon it. The administration building has been completed, six others are nearing corple- tion, six ‘others have be@n designed for completion during the summer, and when the entire complement 1s done, there will be twenty large buildings, with a vast colo- ny of the smaller buildings necassary for private exhibits, restaurants an] that sort of thing. All the usual exposition adorn- ments and amusements are promised, and the Midway of the Chicago show will be the Vanity Fair at Nashville. The buildings will be of wood and ctaff, and colorless, making this the “waite city, as its predecessor of ‘03 was. ‘The art building, which is an exact copy of the Parthenon, is, of course, handsoner than any other. The woman's building is an adaptation from the Hermitage, by a wo- man architect, Mrs. Conley, whd ft 1s a most creditable structure, not only In point of ornament, but of use. The grounds lie near the western gates of the city, with the great capitol building looking down upon them; they are beaut!- ful in location, and when the landscape gardener has touched them with his magic wand they will be transformed into a scene of fairy splendor, of lakes and flow- ers and terraces and walks and vistas, and all that charms the eye and satisfies the sens The exposition will be formally opened May 1, 1897, and will continue until Octo- ber 31. Now, tg continue with the visitors from Washington. Mrs. Kirkman’s Reception. Somehow, the exercises of oratory and things like that were not so attractive as | a reception, from 5 to 7, given by Mrs. Van | Leer Kirkman, president of the woman's board, at the handsome house of her sister, Mrs. Drouillard, and the Washington fo! were seen there in force, making their first appesrance, so to speak, in Nashville so- ciety; and I am free to confess that some of the bachelors of the party forgot all about the 5 to 7 mit of the reception, and overstayed their time dreadfully. But, of course, it wasn't thelr fauit. If Nashville women “are so extraordinarily attrac surely the poor bachelors can do nothing but surrender unconditionally. The next day, being less like rain, Leland 6. Rankin hitched up a procession of tally- hos and carried us all over town, and showed us what a big town Nashville has grown to be. It is a picturesque, rather than an elegant, city in appearance, but it 1s quite attractive, and there is almost as great a diversity of architecture as there is in Washington, which claims first place in that respect. Standing like a citadel on a hill the large capitol building is really the center of the city and its location is exceedingly striking. A replica of the Washington statue of Andrew Jackson adorns the park in front, and over at one side is the tomb ot James K. Polk, renewed, since its removal from the grounds of the old Polk home, not far away. A Visit to Belle Meade. In the afternoon the party went out by rail to Belle Meade, the famous stock farm owned by Gen. W. H. Jackson, and saw more fine horse flesh than they can sec anywhere. I might say anywhere outside of Kentucky, but Tennessee stock raisers really beileve they can raise better stox than Kentucky can, and as I am just 1 in Tennessee I Won't dispute the point. In any event, Belle Meade is one of the finest stock farms in ali the known world, and General Jackson is just the kind of a man to own it and extend its hospitality to. visitors, After Belle Meade there was a sham bat- tle, which was not fought to a finish, ow ing to the wet ground, and late: Major Stahiman of the Banner opened bis house for an informal reception from 7:30 until {t was Ume to take the train home. The reception wes the result of a moment, but Major and Mrs. Stahlman were equal to the moment, and the evening was spent ghtfully with another surrender by the chelor contingent. Here took place most of the partings from the Nashville people, but they were not as sad as might have been expected, for it was alw: 1 revoir and not bye, with a solemn promise that would ail come to the exposition next y Leland Rankin, who had been carry us in the palm of his hand, was at train to tell us farewell and to us to the keeping of Archie Butt, who w: to take us home. In addition to Leland, there was a contingent from the Hermitage Clyb also, who came down and had a few reminiscences with the boys at 1 a.m. At that hour the train pulled out and Nashville, with its centennial celebration, its exposition, its beauty and {is friendli hess, Was not given up as a thing that but was held in front of us beacon and a We break morning with whom some 0d- they the commit asa the next governor of Tennessee, i went up on Lookout mountain with him; then we hied ourselves to Kknoxy th Maj.
