on the occasion of the unveiling of the
great statue led Mr.. Clews and the other
gentlemen named to agree to furnish the
necessary money provided the displays be
given by James Pain, Of Manhattan Beach,
under the direction of the New York
World. When MIR. Pain was spoken to
in regard 10 the matter he generously Of
fered to double whatever sum was raised
BY the patriotic friends of the statue and
give programme that would fully real
ize their expectations. The ground had
been gone over by an agent of Mr.. Pain,
and no trouble or expense was spared to
make the displays the grandest
ever witnessed in this country. The vast
materials for the fireworks had been spe.
cially prepared for this occasion by Mr..
Pain, and several new effects in pyfO.
technics were introduced. The displays
were begun with the lighting of the great
torch for the first time, and were given
simultaneously on Liberty and Govern

rate pyrotechnic pieces. With slight va

A PECULIAR CASE.
An Interesting Law Point Which Excltes

An Interesting Law Point Which Excites
the People of Arlsansxw.
An appeal in a rather peculiar case
has just gone before the Supreme Court
of Arkansaw. John BogwortE, who for
many years lived in the village of Rip
vile, Washington County, Ark. came
to Little Rock some time ago and enter
ed into business. Recently he went
back to his native village, having re-
placed his slouch hat for a rather high
crowned Derby. When the companions
of his youth saw him wearing the hat
they provided themselves with bean
shooters and began to shoot holes
through if. Finally. one buck-shot,
ranging trifie too low. plowed fur
row across the top of Johns head.
Bogworth had the fellow arraigned be-
fore a justice of the peace.
'1s this tine hat you wore?" the JUS
tice asked.
'Yes, SIR"
''And the buck-shot that made this
hole is the one that plowed you, eh?''
Eyes, your honor"
Tha justice, after few moments re-
fection. said: '.lt is the opinion of this
court that the plaintiff in this case laid
himself liable, and that if he had net
pulled his hat down so far. the buck
shot would have simply gone through
the hat without hitting him.
An appeal to the Circuit Court re-
suited in . confirmation of the decision
of the court below, and then an appeal
to the Supreme Court was taken. The
final result is awaited with much in
terest.-ArEdns.:: TrGreLex.

called Mail street, into Park Row under
the triumphal arch In front OF the World
office, and back into Broadway. This de-
tour was more In order TO pay cOmpli-
nent to the enterprise of the HOrld, in
raising the sum necessary for raising
Bartholdi's great work.
From Park Row the route was again
down Broadway TO Courtlandt street and
Maiden Lane, where most OF the mill
tary, turning to right or left, made their
way to the river.
The head of the procession reached the
City Hall at noon. At the same time,
whenever the music OF the bands ceased,
the chimes of Trinity Church could be
heard PLAYING National airs of France
and America.
President Cleveland, accompanied by
Secretary Bayard. drove to the reviewing
stand at Madison square. He was fol-
lowed by Secretaries Whitney, Villas and
Lamar and Colonel Lamont.
Alter leaving Broadway ut COrtlandt
street and Maiden Lane, nearly all the
military and civic companies made their
way homeward.
At this hour hour Gals p. ny, the
procession is still vending its way past
the United Press office, 1S7 Broadway,
having been over an hour in progress.
All the vessels i'm North river are gaily
decorated with flags, the Great Atlantic
liners being particularly noticeable as
they lay at their docks, one mass OF color
alOit.
The naval parade, which forms another
marked feature of the day, was set for
one O'Clock. The sound of the prepa-
raiory gun, which should nave been fired
ut l2:45 p. m, was not heard until one
O'Clock, and there was considerable delay
in getting the vessels which were to take
part into line. Twenty minutes later the
signal for the start was given, and the
vessels moved SLOWLY in double line from
Forty fifth street down North river, past
Il feet of war vessels, toward Liberty
Island. This procession was in charge
of Lieutenant & Commander Rich, and con-
sisted of two divisions. The lrSt division
was headed by the United States coast
survey steamer Gedney, and consisted of
all the larger vessels. The second divi-
slons consisted of tugs and miscellanc-
Ous craft of all descriptions. The YES
sels presented a beautiful sight as thev
steamed down the Hudson. On reaching
Liberty Island, they passed asiern of the
man-oi-war anchored below the island
then up between Them and the island. till
they came to abreast OF the statue head

N suggestion winch should lie TalKeu
Over I'm Rural Communities.
A country-bred woman living in
large city gave lessons in cooking to
half dozen working girls. She found
them ignorant of the simplest details of
work. because they had never seen 1t
done. If they had grown up in country
homes she would have found them al
ready familiar with the theory of cook
ing and only in need of practice.
Washington GLADDEN. believed that
country boys made the most successful
men. so he sent letters to hundred
successful business men in all ranks of
city life, asking them where their boy
hood had been spent. and how their
time, out of school hours. was used.
The replies showed that most of them
We're from country homes, where out
of-school duties trained their hands and
gave them habits of industry. In many
large cities there are now schools where
little girls can learn to cook, set
e table neatly, sew, darn, mend,
sweep and dust, and their broth
ers are taught to use carpenters
tools, and to model in wood such things
as houses. fences and furniture, and SIS
their lessons advance, TO make things
of value and beauty. of suitable sizes
for use. The ChItlren's Industrial Ex-
hibition. held in New York City, showed
the work from such schools (and some
work done out of schools) by children
ali over the county. And there is a
stir and fiuttcr of little han Is in the
cities rs they busy themselves with these
new lessons. The country children al
ready know many things these little
folks are studying out w;th active fin
gers; why can they not be helped to
learn still more? Are there not posi-
bilities for cooking, sewing and car
pentering classes in the country?
A class of six or more little girls
might meet once a week under the
guidance of n grOwnup sister. auntie
or mother. and cook the meal they eat
together. each one bringing share of
uncoOked materials and doing a share
of the work, the teacher watching and
directing all the work. but doing
none. Setting the table and
table manners would come in for a
share of her care. n workshop for the
boys might be organ; ;ze'i during the sea-
son when there is the least farm-work,
and some farmer. handy with tools.
could greatly benefit the boys of the
neighborhood by giving them lessons in
simple work with the hammer, saws and
nails. Studying books is good; train
inc the hands to make the study practi-
cal is better.
The advantages of such classes would
be many: first of all. the children would
feel that good work is important, and it
would become interesting, and. instead
of hurrying through their out-of-scbool
duties in the most careless way, they
would find a pleasure in doing them
well. Then, in a class. if only three or
four. the sense of companionship and
the efforts made by each one to work as
well as the rest would add charm for
the children. Try something of this
kind and report the results.-Atice

OF the intended statue. Another plaster
statue four times as large as the first, and
a third one, of the full dimensions of the
finished work were made. The last
model had to be made in sections, and a
wooden framework was constructed OIL
which the plaster was spread. When
these sections were completed, wooden
models were used, exact copies of the
plaster in size and modelling. These
were carefully cut out by hand, and in
them were shaped the hammered brass
work which forms the outside of the
statue. Eighty-eight tons of brass were
used in the structure, and the entire
weight of the statue is $50, 900 pounds.
In 1876 NJ. Bartholdi, with the extended
right arm of the statue-the first part
that was completed-came to America
and placed the arm and torch in

removed to Madison Square, New

those nearest the stand. The cry of
"Bartholdi" was then caught up by both
the reviewing and grand stands. The
crowds on the avenue curbings up and
down heard the name and passed it to
the people in the park and side
streets until the heavy air was shaken
with a roar OF cheering that must have
