THE CENTENNIAL EXPOSITION.
Inauguration Ceremonies at Phila-
delphia-EnthusIaSti and Patriotic
Demonstrations.
PHILADELPHIA, May 10.

PHILADELPHIA, May 10.
IN the memory of every citizen of Phila-
delphia this day will remain forever green,
and also red, white and blue, for never has
there been such display of bunting along
her streets as on this 10th Of May. For miles
and miles, from housetops, from windows,
and in windows, from doorways and car-roofs,
and even from the heads OF numberless
horses, our National standard has been dis
played, while flags OF other nations were also
floating in the breeze.
The citv was crowded with visitors, and
the number OF people in attendance upon
the opening ceremonies of the Centennial EX.
position Is estimated to have been In the
neighborhood of 10000.
At the Exposition grounds spacious
platform had been erected at the side of Me-
mortal Han, north of the center Of the Main
Building, and seats were arranged on the
platform for official and other invited guests.
AT eleven o'clock President Grant and his
party, accompanied by numerous Govern
ment officials and other prominent individ-
uals, proceeded to the platform, the Presi-
dent having been escorted to the grounds
by Gov, Hartranft, with division of the
military. AT the right OF the center Of
the platform were seated the President OF the
United States and the members Of the Cabi-
net, and further to the right were the seats
of United States Senators, members OF the
House of Representatives, the Govern
ors Of the various States, with their
stafis, the Governor of Pennsylvania and
State officers, the State Supreme Court
and the Legislature, and representatives of
the army and navy, the Smithsonian Insti-
tute, United States Judges officers OF the
Executive office and the bureaus and mem
bers Of the Woman's Centennial Committee.
On the left of the center were the seats OF the
United States supreme Court, and further TO
the lelG the seats of members OF the Diplo-
matte Corps and members OF the Centennial
Commission, the Board OF Finance, the
Womans Executive Committee, Foreign
Commissioners, the Mayor, Council and other
officials of Philadelphia, Mayors OF other
cities, State Centennial Boards, the Board OF
Award, and along the front OF the platform
were seated the members Of the press.
The orchestra OF $50 pieces and a chorus
Of 1000 voices, under the direction OF Theo'
dore Thomas and Dudley Buck, were sta
TONED directly in front OF the platform, at the
side of the Main Building.

The King or Portugal,

Dom Louis, the King of Portugal, still
young man Qhirty five or forty years Of
age), with anything but an intellectual
face, is the last male scion of the Euro
pean branch of the celebrated house Of
Braganza, and strange TO say his tastes and
habits are so unlike those of his prede-
ces ors for centuries past that the people
of Lisbon call him " o Novo," (the new
one, or the eccentric one). Although
married to an ambitious and restless wife,
Doria Maria Pia, the favorite daughter of
Victor Emmanuel, and, Notwithstanding

ment which he had especially since the
dethronement Of Isabella II. of Spain, the
present King of Portugal, with the blood
of Maria da Gloria and Dom Miguel in
his veins, has led an almost pastoral life,
devoting almost his whole time TO litera-
ture, and whenever he has to decide po-
litical question, invariably decides il in a
liberal sense. His principal source Of
delight is his private library. TO its en-
largement he devotes most of his in
come. Familiar with all the Latin Ian
guages, he has collected within the past
fifteen years 30, 900 volumes embTacing the
choicest works of Spanish, Italian, French
and Portuguese authors. In 1869 he visited
the French Academy in Paris and had a
regular debate there with Messrs. De
Sacy, Barante and other savants eminent
in their knowledge. To their astonish-
ment they found that the King knew far
more about the subject discussed than they
who had devoted their life and studies to
it; and, to cap the climax, His Majesty
completely perplexed them by submitting
four knotty passages from "The Spirit
of Lusad, " which they were unable to in
terpret correctly.
The Queen has different tastes. She
lives apart from her husband, at the
cOuntry-seat of La Tarta. The King
has hardly any companions but his
old tutor. Dom DR.. Dunar is the first
living scholar in Portugal. He lives,
like his King, for the latter's library. He
has published valuable work on Latin
biography, entitled "The Treasures OF
Lusitanian Literature, great portion Of

The Art Of Killing Made Easy.

The Paris correspondent of the London
Standard says: The art of killing made
easy has made great progress of late years,
butnowhere, perhaps, more than in France.
The guillotne is already very different
object from what it was when it left the
hands of its learned inventor, and it prom
ises in time to become such a complete
and attractive piece of mechanism that
condemned men may ultimately embrace
it, if not with Joy, at all events with a
kind Of curiosity and confidence. That
high and mighty parsonage IN France
known as t'erecuteltr des hnites- RuorCS -
in palmer English the public executioner
has just added another important modi-
fication TO the fatal French instrument of
death, by which it will be entirely self
acting. He has invented few mysterious
grooves which so work that as soon as the
sufferer falls or is pushed on to the bdseule,
his head runs into the luaette, and the
knife comes down the next second. Real
ly, French criminals cannot complain Of
the kind attention shown to them by the
powers that be.

Freezing Plant Juices.

The apparent phenomenon of plants
surviving after their juices have been
frozen has excited much research for an
explanation among botanists. The prob
lem has not yet been satisfactorily solved,
but some interesting testimony in the case
has been elected through the experiments
of Mr.. Tiftard, which are published in an
English exchange. Some juice OF cab.
bage-leaf, mingled with water, was placed
in a bottle and subjected to a low temper
ature, along with second bottle contain
ing pure water. The latter fluid froze,
but the mixture of cabbage-juice and
water resisted congelation. This result
goes to show that the juices of plants do
not freeze in temperatures which CONCEAL

Col Kane's driving is marvellous, but it
is an illustration of the influence of
aristocratic ideas upon the police that
they allow this coach and its four horses
to race through Fifth avenue at full speed,
every horse on a gallop, and the guard
blowing long and loud blasts upon his
horn, unnotced, while an ordinary indi-
vidual would be stopped on the first cor
ner for fast driving One of the charm
ing things about this new atfectation is,
that it is considered the proper thing at
the conclusion of the ride to hand both
driver and guard a fee-after the manner
of the English-and, TO make this the
more ludicrous, il is gravely announced
that silver quarter for each passenger is
the precise amount which etiquette de-
mands shall constitute the aforesaid fee.

say, we New Workers, celebrating an in

Dress in 1916.

Fashions changed hundred years ago
as they do now, and perhaps ii would be
impossible to give an exact picture of the
costumes of different classes at any one
given time. But, in general, it may be
said that gentlemen wore small-clothes,
knee buckles, and buckled shoes; coats
broad -skirted, wide-cufed, and lace
rutfied, and of brown, gray, claret, or
other color; long waist-cOats, with broad
flaps over the pockets, cooked hats, and
in many cases wigs and powdered hair.
The small sword was a common article of
full dress, whilo scarlet cloth and gold
and silver lace, with showy buttons, were
resorted to by patricians on important oc-
casions. The ladies made up their silks
and satins and brocades into sacques and
petticoats, hooped and trailed, set off with
ruffies, and variously patterned and be.
decked, according to the style of the hour.
They spent much time upon their hair,
and the arrangement of the head-dress for
the great party or grand ball was very
complicated operation. A6b0ttS

extensively patroni2ed.
Jackets cut by pattern out of the piece

wooden ones, as they are not only less
expensive, but can be fitted to the fgure

Tie Home of rennHsOn.

HERE is a little story told me by Gen.
Schenck: He was travelling with his
party in the Isle of Wight. Their guide
was extremely attentive, showing with
true insular pride the mansions of various
noblcmen, with their splendid grounds,
and dwelling with special emphasis upon
the number of retainers kept by each. At
last, coming suddenly upon picturesque
cottage whose climbing vines and nicely
kept lawn proclaimed the taste of its own
er, the visitors inquired who he might be.
"Only very plain country gentleman,
sir, as comes down ere now and then,
and lives very quiet-like; nobody you
would know anything about, sirl j be-
lieve as lis name is 'i'ennysonn' and the
cicerOne was hurrying on. Tennyson's
cottage Oh, stop! we must have a lookW
chorused the lady travellers. The carriage
was stopped, but the driver was utterly
unable to comprehend the sudden inter-
est. " Mayhap you know him ?" he said,
interrogatively, and his ignorance was so
delicious that the ladies delighted them
selves by drawing him out. They de-
clared they had heard of Mr.. Tennyson
in distant America, and insisted that he
who lived so near must know something
about him, :" He may be summat up in
Lunnun, but down ERE, sir, he makes no
show at all, sir; he lives mostly alone. :"
Then, as il to stamp Mr.. Tennyson's utter
insignltlcance, he added: g He keeps only
one man, sir, and he sleeps out OF the
'ouse." Such is fame!-AARd S. IL. en-,

THE House Judiciary Committee in
Washington began the Blaine investiga-
ton on the 18th, and the testimony of
John S. G. Harrison was given connecting
Mr.. Blaine with the $64, 900 in Arkansas
bonds. Other evidence was given, par
TALLY corroborative and partially contra
dictory. Col. Thomas A. Scott gave the
details of the transactions relating to the
bonds in question, and stated that he had
no knowledge nor belief whatever that
MIR. Blaine had anything to do with
them.
THE Conference of the Republican Re
formers assembled in New York, on the

About 300 delegates were present. A

"remedy existing evils and preserve the
National honor" and instructed to report
on the following day. Addresses were
made by Messrs. g. F. Adams, Carl
Schurz President Woolsey, Prof Seelye,
DR.. Osgood, Franklin MacVeigh and
others.
A SPECIAL dispatch of the 18th from
Sioux City, Iowa, to the Chicago Inter
Ocean says: From letters received here
to-day from the Trudell brothers and
others who went from here to the Black
Hills two months ago, it appears that the
situation there at the present time is any
thing but encouraging. AS warm weather
approaches, the Indians become more
troublesome, and those who could not do
prospecting on account of the frost be-
fore, and have been waiting for the
season to advance to give the country
thorough test, are prevented from
going a rod from their camps on account
of hostile Indians who hover around at
all hours, and kill all who venture out.
Letters also report great scarcity of pro-
visions, and say as yet no quantity of gold
has been obtained. They doubt the exist
ence of gold there in paying quantities. "

Strange Charge Against Operators.

Several of our citizens have sent their
families to the Eastern States during the
past year. The usual custom has been TO
instruct their dear ones TO, once a day,
after leaving Ogden, telegraph their prog
ress. Not one OF these dispatches has
ever reached Virginia City. One gentle
man, whose wife went to Chicago year
ago, sent dispatch after dispatch, and
finally telegraphed his mother in law,
asking how his baby was, as he could get
no word from his wife. And yet the
thoughtful wife had telegraphed him ev-
cry day after leaving Ogden. A gentle
man whose family started East twelve
days ago told us yesterday that he had not
heard one word from them, though his
wife was to have telegraphed from all
prominent points on the road. The eX-
PLANTATION is that the operators along the
Union Pacific and Eastern roads receive
the dispatches and the money, pocket the
money and destroy the dispatches, A
wife telegraphs her husband from
Cheyenne or Laramie: ave are safe
and we'll so far" The operator says
"That woman never could remember
me; what if she is safe and well? don't
care if she lives a thousand years" puts
