tHE EVENINGS PROGRAMME.
The closing ceremonies IN the evening
were magnificent display of fireworks
by James Payn, given on Liberty and
Governors islands, together with a
grand illumination of French and Amer
lean men, Of war. The pyrotechnic dis
plays were the most wonderful and
elaborate that have ever been witnessed
in this country. The funds for the fire.

CO, The failure of Congress to provide
money for a fitting display OF fireworks
on the occasion of the unveiing of the
great statue led Mr.. ClCwS 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 Mr.. Pain was spoken to
in regard to 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-
cally prepared for this occasion by Mr..
Pain, and several new effects in pyRO.
technics were introduced. The displays
were begun with the lighting of the great
torch for the first time, and were given
simultaneously on Liberty aud Govern
ors islands, including some sixty sepa-
rate pyrotechnic pieces. With slight va
riations the fireworks were the same on
Liberty island and in front of old Castle
William, on Governors island, and
were set off by maroon signals from the
statue. The displays were largely

A Skep:IcaI OmeiaI.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 29.-The Indian
Bureau is little skeptical over the
alleged magnificent offer about to
be made by a. New York syndicate
TO the CherOkees for their lands
in the Indian Territory. An official said to-
day: "Three dollars per acre would GER
tainly be IA magnificent price for those lands,
but can not conceive that any firm would
want such a quantity OF laud of one kind
in one locality as 6,000, 600 acres. NY pri-
vate opinion is that this story is sensation
lately put up by The Cherolees themselves
to induce the Government to buy Their lands
At an early day for public entry"

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
Bawar and Colonel Lamont.
After leaving Broadway at Cortlandt
street and Maiden Lane, nearly all the
military and civic companies made their
way hUmeward.
AT this hour hour O:l5 p. M, the
procession Is still vending its way past
the United Press office, lS7 Broadway,
having been over all hour in progress.
All the vessels in North river are gaily
decorated with flags, the Great Atlantic
liners being particularly noticeable as
they lay at their docks, one mass OF color
alOtt.
The naval parade, which forms another
marked feature of the day, was set for
one O'Clock. The sound OF the prepa-
ratory gun, which should nave been fired
at II As 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
a fleet of war vessels, toward Liberty
Island. This procession was in charge
of Lieutenaut-C Commander Rich, and con-
sisted of two divisions. The first division
was headed by the United States coast
survey steamer Gedney, and consisted of
all the larger vessels. The second dlvi-
sions consisted of tugs and miscellane-
Gus craft Of all descriptions. The yes
sells presented beautiful sight as they
steamed down the Hudson. On reaching
Liberty Island, they passed astern of the
man war anchored below the island
then up between them and the island, till
they came to abreast of the statue head
on tide, where they remained at anchor
until the end of the ceremonies at that
point.

Work on the Broadway under
ground railway will be commenced in
the fall and completed in two or three
years. A new road will be constructed
under Broadway, from curb to curb. A
brick wall, with iron pillars on each
side, will be the only wall of separation
between the front cellars and the new
road. and correspondent thinks it will
not take long for the owner of corner
store at one of the underground stations
to see that store there will pay him
better than coal cellar.-N. Y. Iri6-

he was chcered, but when BarthOldi, the
sculptor, appeared and was easily rec
ognized by the mass, who had seen his
portrait on programmes and in the IL
lustrated papers, a shout went up from
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 Il roar of cheering that must have
gladdencd the heart of the AlSatian, who
bowed his acknowledgements. And then,
in carriages driven to the rear of the
stand, came Mr.. Cleveland AMI his party.
Instantly he was recognized, and again
the crowds shook the weIkin with their
shouts, and from the houSetOpS and win
dowS of hotels came shouts and sounds
of clapping hands to swell The sound
that like a wave broke over the park and
flowed down the streets and along the
avenue, where, in the misty distance, the
trappin@S and romp of the head of the
column was seen moving. The Signal
Service operator at the TWenty-eighth
Street station made known the fact to
the throngs by 4 waving flag, and the
pressure increased toward the avenue
and the people became packed more
closely if it were possible.

THE STATUE.

lHE SlAlC
The famous statue, by Bartholdi, of
"Liberty Enlightening the World" was
received at New York, June 20, 1885.
The French vessel Isere, with the statue
on board, was escorted up the bay to
Bedloe's Island by number OF United
States men of-war and other vessels. The
statue stands on Bedloe's Island-here-
after to be known as Liberty Island. At
the entrance to New York harbor,
Bartholdi, it is said, conceived the idea
of rearing colossal statue to Symbolic
Americas message of liberty to the world
while sailing up New York bay on his
visit to this country in 1871, with heart
depressed at the ruin and wretchedneSS
in his native land after her defeat by Ger
many. On his return TO France he sug-
gested TO his friends his idea of such
a statue TO be presented by the
French nation to the United States.
The idea was received with great favor,
and so rapidly did subscriptions come
in that IN 1876 the sculptor began work
upon his great statue. NJ. Bartholdi

What Animals to Breed to Grow
Rich

Rich.
Chicago Times,
The prospect for making money by
keeping cattle on the open range and ranch
is not as good as it was few years ago.
The best locations have been secured, and,
with rare exceptions, the natural supplies
of water are controlled by parties who use
them as they do private property. The
action of the national Government in re-
lation to grazing lands in Indian Territory
and the erection of wire fences on public
lands has been unfavorable to the interests
of many ranchmen.
Hog raising is less profitable than it has
been at any time since the beginning of
the civil war. Our pork is excluded from
several countries where it was once extern
sively sold. There is more risk from dis
ease in keeping hogs than any kind OF
domeSticated animals
@The outlook for large gains in keeping
sheep is very poor. Wool and ordinary
mutton are both very low. While many
are not inclined to sacrifice their flocks of
sheep, few desire to increase them. AL
sheep raisers are hopeful of favorable
turn in their business.
The prospects for making money in
breeding and raising horses and mules
were never better than they are now.
Horses of all descriptions command good
price,. AS wealth increases in large cities
there is an increasing demand for horses
that will make fast time on the race
course, for fine carriage horses, and for
riding horses. The demand for heavy
draught horses for use on drays and trans
fer wagons was never better. The de-
mand for middle weight horses is also
good The increase of street car lines in
all large towns calls for a large number
of horses suitable for drawing cars. Street
railways make demand more than ordi-
nary railways ever displaced. At present
prices there is more money in draught
animals than in those raised for supplying
meat. That such state of things will
continue for considerable time seems
likely. The demand for horses in all
countries increases as wealth and ciyili-
cation increase.
