' C. HOLMAN,
Chairman of the Comfaittee on Pro
, grarnme.
NVaSa progressive chap, though, and
will long be remembered Z1-5 the best
century that ever lived up to date. He
raced along under the impulse of steam
and charged with electricity, and put
a girdle around teh earth in forty min
tiles, as Puck promised to do the cen
tury before him
He conjured up railroads. ocean grey
hounds, telephones. typewriters bi
cycles, baby carriages, barbed wire
fences, messenger boys, expansion and
imperiailsm. He found El Doradoes,
lEimberloys and Klondikes
But all this was very trying on the
old gentleman. It undermined his con
- atitution, and he could not stand the
Etrain that the last decade of his five
score years imposed upon him., When
found that Lé was surrounded on
. every side at every minute by the dead
ly microbe he became palsied with fear.
The tongues of ,people lashed and prat
tled continuously, and, as if the tele
phone of the previous decade had not
put. an extra burden of listening' to peo
ple all the time upiin his already sto.o.p
ingc shouiders.. the phonograph was
brought out to keep him ever writhing
in the steady currents of hot air. In

ing armor a,nd cloth of sheen, in the
stately court into which the Auditorium
had been transformed. .
The boy came out of the southeast
wing, crept around the orchestra, perch
ed on its broad dais. and stood on a
chair on the brink of the Stage tba,t
looked out over a great level shining
square. Before the squires and their
gentle dames had trodden the space at
an, it was white as with the gleaming
sliver crystal bands that Jack Frost had
Woven over the windows. Now it shone
smooth and treacherous with its waxen
gloss. '
don't 'like the looks of that," he
might -have said. just stand here
and examine the surrounding-a." He is
seaposed to be a -very :blare aand uneon
ventional youn,g chap, thia new century,
brit this is the first tirne he ever saw
such a, scene and it would be little wdat
der if he were transported by it. Ho
let the old century do all the talking
and was speechless !himself, as a, matter
of fact.
Around the sides of the open square
were ranged the gallant men and fair
women who had gathered there to bid
him welcome. Adoring femininity
smiled most graciously at him and look
ed radiant in their bright and shimmer
ing gowns. The men, suppie and strong,
in their modish and conventional diless,
were attentive and merry and but few
wished. they were somewhere else. And
in and out among the throng moved
martial figures in the blue and gold of
the Topeka City Troop. -
In the great balcony that overhung
the real scene of activity many auditors
still remained to view his debut from
the advanta,ge ground of height. A few
moments before his entrance the gallery
had emptied the greater portion of its
crowd to the lower floor. on invitation.
Starry and crimson-streaked flags were
hung and drai ?!.,1 everywhere. They be
gan at one corner of the gallery parapet
and swung around the three sides of the
hall to the other opposite corner. A
fringe of small flags were thrown into
another continuous line that depended
from the under side of the balcony also,
stretching, from post to post. The pillars
of gleaming white garlanded with
spirals of evergreen, were suggestive of
marble Raman columns decked out ia
celebration of a great Roman triumph.
lachind the astounded representative of
the new century another mass of flags
bluzed on the east wall. At his feet
stretched around the arc of the mam
moth stage, like a fringe of palms on a
coral isle, a semi-circle 'of ferns .and
lilies made a bank Of verdant foliage
over which he peeped. in a curious way.-
NEW CENTITRY USHERED IN.
Led by the hand by the venerable old
century the little fellow had thus been
ushered before the world. Robert Sem
ple impersonated the time-honored
patriarch. a,nd Master Paul Raymond
Varner, t years ola. typified the century
just born. Old Time carried a, scythe
and his voice was hoarse and deep as it
pushed its way through his patriarchal
beard in reciting the following poem
composed for the :occasion by Eugene
Ware:
I am the Century. I nm Old Time
I've visited every land and clime.
on sea. on shore, on mountain or on plain,
I've brought to all both happiness and
pai n.,
I used to have a scythe, and I mowed
down
The high and low in country and in town.
Ilve downed the rich, and then I've raised
the poor;
I've made the pauper greatthe great ob
scure: Bye stubbed out slippers 9-nd made
threadbare coats;
I've ripened whisky and I've outlawed
notes.
Much good. much ill, I've done in my
brief day.
, But now I'm going for to go away.
l A new man takes my place. I kope

IAnd make things lively, as I did. for 7,-ou.
And' sa farewell, Topeka, fare you well,
The nicest, dearest tovi-n in which to
Idwell,
Good-bye, Old Town; good-bye--my race
- is run:
My year has gone, and', like it, am done.
Nco sootier had he uttered the word
"Done." than every light In the house
went out and, the hall was left in com
plete darkness. At the same instant
the bells began. pealing, the guardsmen
banged off a thundering salute, whistles
shrieked afar off and the orehest ra
. drummer rolled a. solemn dirge. It was
a surprising and NVVird effect. Where,
a- moment before, all had been light and
gayety. and to the. strains of a dreaMY
waltz they had danced the old year out
and the new year in, and brought in
their representatives to fulfill the alle
gory. now darkness covered all with a.
chilling- gloom and a profound silence
fell on the assemblage.

whistle call from the "Knobs o' Ten

a match. This was not enough, though.
Finally, the riglit idea streaked through
the brain of a musician, and he called
out, as if frighteend a,t his own temer
ity, "Happy New Year!" That was the
bugle call, and the chorus swelled stead
ily exchanging. the compliments of the
glad sea-son in the dark. The orchestra
struck up "A Hot Time," the lights
came on, and all the dancers whirled
away in a. lightsome, roystering two
step. The early hours of the evening, which
were the last for the expiring century,
v,"ere made as comfortable and lively as
possible for the old gentleman. A COn
cert was given by the Hoover family
orchestra of four, the clarionet solo by
Pearl Hoover, 8 years old, being espe
cialy appreciated. Two Spanish sere
naders from Lawrence twa,nged the dul
cet mandolin, guitar and banjo, and
Miss Fay Shreve did the ,serpentine
dance with calcium light and picture
eff ts.
The grand march was begun at 10
o'clock. The leaders were Air. Dean
Low, arid Alis Net le Scott, of Earned;
Mr. and Mrs. Charles L. Holman, Mr.
and Mrs. A. W. Dana, Mrs..I. E. Crock
ett and Mr. Albert T. Reid. They trav

Dancing to the music furnished by Wat
son's orchestra. sped the minutes fast
away until the tw3 centuries made their
appearance hand in hand and the strik
ing ceremonials described were enacted.
There was a sense of immensity about
the Auditorium hall and a void that was
not tilled. But the society folk that par
ticipated and the onlookers enjoyed the
spectaele, nevertheless.
For the New Year's cotillion pretty fa
vors of papier mache animals and toy
bleyeles and ornaments were given. Re
freshments were served behind the bank
of palms on the stage between the dances.
GLIMPSE OF THE BEAUTIFUL
GOWNS.

-Bright Outlook For Opening of
the New Century.
Topeka Will Do Its Part Next
Spring.
For the year which opens parallel with
the new century today the greatest in
cleetrial enterprise which Topeka will
see is the building of the new shors of
the Atchison, Topeka. & 11;:i. Fe rail
way. And for a. New Year's greeting'
comes the definite announcement tnat
tl,e Santa 1'e company intende to have
the simps fully constructed befere the
year is ended.
This means a great deal to the city of
Topeka. A large a,mourit of work re
mains to be done on the part of the
city in fulfilling its 'end of the agree
ment towards the establishment of thig
immense industry in its new and en
larged quarters. Seven principal build
ings comprise the new shops, the con
struction of which will cost the Santa
Fe over one-third of a, million dollars.
In furnishing the land upon 'which to
locate the shops the city pledged itself
to an expenditure of $70,000.
It is the understanding that an en
abling act must be secured from the leg
islature to issue bonds in the amount
of $70,000 to meet the obligations that
securing the necessary land entails. Al
ready $25,000 has been raised by sub
seription. dne plot orlatel two blocks
in length and one block wide has been
secured, cleared and the foundations
for the blacksmith shop are now laid.
The structural material for this build
ing is promised to be here on February
and the work is to be pushed from
then on.
Out of this $70,000 bond issue is to be
returned to those who have a,dvanced it
the $25.000 that has made possible the
work thus far accomplished. With the
remaining $45,000 the second plot of land
that is required is to be purchased and
cleared of the buildings that now oc
cupy it. '
This tract of land has now been
called for. The company has given no
tice to have it ready for them to build
upon within the year.
The company's intention to prosecute
the 'work as stated is evidenced in the
following communication which came
into the hands of the community's rep
resentative in the matter today:
"Ain M. C. Holman, President Commer
eial Club, city:
"Dear SirReferring to the under
standing. we had with reference to fur
nishing land for shop pureextes at To
peka., I beg to advise you that in addi
tion to the blacksmith shop, on which
work has already been started, we will
erect machine shops at Topeka during
the year Doi, and require therefor the
additional ground which the Commer
cial club was to secure. The work on
these shops will be given precedence
over other new work to, be done in 19el,
and therefore it is important that the
land be secured as early as practicable.
"Yours truly,
' (Signed) M. U. MITDCE.
"General Manager."
The tract of land which the commu
nity's agents are now directed to secure
and prepare for the occupancy of the
Santa. Fe with its additional shops lies
east of the tract that has been already
cleared and beginning- to, be occupied on
the eastern side of the long car repair
sheds. It is bounded on the east by
Branner street and its north and south
length is two blocks in extent.
On this tract of land is to be built the
