work of years, through events and not
through the efforts of the statesmen of

terworth was signalized with outbursts OF
applause as the several dignstaries were
recognized. An eloquent prayer was of.
by Rev. George R. Thayer, of Cincinnati.
Gov. Foraker made the welcome address.
He began by naming the Governors and
Others present who were on the platform.
Each Of them received applause, but when
last on the list he named, That illustri-
Gus son of Ohio, Senator John Sherman, /"
there waa tempest of applause that bid
fair to interrupt the proceedings.
Mr.. Sherman's dignified countenance
showed that the tribute touched him.
Gov. Foraker made but a brief address,
making the point that his exposition was
national in its character, intended to be
illustrative and commemorative of the
grogress of Ohio and the central States
within the past century.
1t was now but few minutes OF II
o'clock, and President Allison announced
that they would wait for the signal from
Mrs. Polk to start the machinery. Sud
denly a gong in the hall sounded and a
ripple of applause answered the signal,
and Governor Foraker explained to the
audience that the gong had been sounded
by electricity touched by the finger
Of Mrs. Polk at her home in Nash
vile. He proposed three hearty
cheers, expressive of the appreciation Of
the estimable women and her psrticipa-
ton in the ceremonies. The cheers were
given, men rising and waving their hats
Then little Mary Allison, the ten-year-old
daughter of President James Allison,
stepped to the side of the stage and press
ing an electric button, gave twelve sig
nails on the gong and put the machinery
in motion.

PHILADELPHIA, July A. Life insur-
anoe circles of this city and New York
have been rippled with excitement during
the past few days by an event Of unusual
Importance. This event is the reaching

placing of risks on human life all to talk
ing. John wauamsker, the merchant
prince, has succeeded in desire which has
long been his ambition of placing the enor-
nous amount OF 1000, 900 upon his lie.
This gives to Mr.. Wanamaker the distinc-
ton of carrying the largest individual IN
surance Of any man in the world. Up TO
this time John B. Stetson, the wealthy
hat manufacturer of this city, has had this
honor, which has given him both repu-
tation in this country and in European
insurance circles, while he has been the
subject of many newspaper articles. MIR.
Stetson hss been jogging through life cas-
ilg with a line OF insurance aggregating
$3.50, 900.
