After ihe banquet, which was an elabor: affair, had been well looked after toasts w in order, and the wine flowed freely as the praises of bonuie Scotland were sung.

Upon being presented to the audience by the chairman, Judge James C. Craw ford, Mr. Rosewater was receivod with hearty’ wp- plause. He said that he felt that any man J¥ho was luboting to buld up tho industries and aevelop the resources of this great state had the sympathy and tho appreciation of the people. He thon started on his Europoan trip, toucting bricfly on his landing at South ampton, England, and then on his visit to London, the Babylon of the modern world. England’s Underground Rallronds. He contrasted the underground railway system of London with the elevated system of Now York, somewhat favorably to the latter. His doscription of St. Paul's cathedral and the London Tower was especially fine. He bumorousiy contrasted the habits and customs of London with those of this coun try. Among other things he said that during his stay in London he receivod a cara from Mr. Lincoln which coatained the following: “Mr. Lincoln will be at home after 11 o'clock, mentioning the day and date, He interprated the 11 o'clock to mean 11 o'clock a. m., and nccordingly sallied forth at that hour. Mr. Lincoln was surprised at re- ceiving a caller bofore breakfast, but matters were soon explained and he made his second call at the proper time—Il o'clock p. m. “Imagine my surprise,” ho said, “when dur- ing my second call I heara a gentleman ex- cusing himself at 1 o'clock 0. m,, on account of the earliness of the hour and still_another at2 o'clock a. m. for the roason_that he had half a dozen other calls to make.” Interesting Scenes Deseribed. The British museum, Stratford-on-Avan, tho parish church and old school house at Stratford, Red Horse tavern, Kenilworth castle and the tomb of Shakespeare were each described in turn and in a highly inter- esting manner, From London he went to Manchester, which city he said had the finest municipal organization in the world. He based his opinion on the fact that not a sin- gle franchise had been grauted by the city, and that all the city appliances and conveniences were owned and operated by the city authorities. Ctossing the chan- nel he landed at Rotterdum and spoke of the magnificent decorations there, the occasion bemng the visit of the (German emperor to thiteity. Journeymg thence to Amsterdam he described the country asbeing the land of wind mills, dykes, canals and ditches, “Travelinyg by vail,” said he, *'in this coun- try is very uncomfortable ’ ‘Passing on to Antwerp he spoke of the decline and rise of that city. “What disgusted me,” said he, “was the fact thatall tbo old builaings of historic valuo were being torn down avnd re- placed by modern structures,” Going to Brussels he gav description of the great hall in which the English, all-confi- dent of victory, held their grand ball on the night before Waterloo, also of the courthouse there which, be said, was tho finest temple of justice he hud ever seon, -Parls was nogt considered, and its boulevards, hotels, cenie- teries, its national boliday lasting three days, all received tneir sharc of attention. He said ho had witnesse! a roview of French troops and of German troops and he was of the opinion that the German troops were far superior in everything excepting artillery, in which, he said, the French were superb, At the Tomb of Napolcon, Mr. Rosewater’s visit to the tomb of Na- poleon I. was then related, and said he: “When I asconded from the tomb I noticed that & number of peasants near it. were in tears, thus indicating that they longed for the day when the flag of ' Napoleon waved over most of the civilized world.” Switzerland, with ber grandeur of scenery, was then finely pictured, and from that coun- try he passed to Vienna. The white house at Washington, he said, was not to be compared with the palaces of the kiugs of KEurope but he was Tmu 10 sec that we are retaining our simplicity and that our rulers did not embellish their palaces at the people's expanse, Coming to Prague, the capital of the land of his birth, he said: “Prague, & city that has seen a hundred battle ficlds, pillaged by the Fronch and Swedes, around which the nations of the carth had made their battle fields, s today enjoymg & period of great prosverity. Iis oitizens are making advancement along every lwo und their activity is truly remarkable. Their sciool exhibits were particularly tine, and wo are far behind them in the matter of manual training and all that pertains to tho practical in education.” Mr. Rosewater held the closo attention of audience for two hours, and his conclud- ing santence was heard. with regret. His quiet, dignified, unassuming manner and his splendid lecture won him many friends. He will go'from this place leaving behind many pleasing and profitavle thoughts, USE OF OIL AS A FUEL.
