THIRD DAY.

The great event of this day of the
Washington centennial celebration
was the civic and industrial parade,
for which the weather was clear and
cool. AS on the preceding days Of
the festival, the crowds thronging
the streets and filling the stands
were immense. Originally it was
intended to have 100000 men in the
civic parade, but as such a nam
moth procession would be unwieldy
and too long in passing the re
viewing stands, orders were issued
reducing the parade 20 per cent, so
that in all the number actually
marching was $4,000. The route Of
procession was just the reverse
of the military parade.
The start was from Fifty seventh
street, down Fifth avenue to Seven
teenth street, to and around Union
Square by Fourteenth to Fifth aven-
ne, to Washington Square, to Waiver
ly place, to Broadway, and down
that thoroughfare to Canal street,
where the dismissal took place.
Gen. Daniel Butterfield, the chief
marshal, was assisted by a staff of
100 mounted aids AS early as s
o'clock the sidewalks along the route
were fringed with awaiting throngs,
and the stands filled up rapidly.
The open space in the vicinity of the
Presidents reviewing stand, Madison
Square, was packed with people.
This parade included every variety
of American industry, representing
a Kaleidoscope of the transition of
100 years and the progress made in
that time
And so the celebration ended. 1t
showed how much more patriotic
the American people are to those of

of the country were proud that they

NUMBER 3
A GREAT PANIC IN CHICAGO.
Many People Hurt, and Some
Likely Killed.
The Trouble Caused by Fireworks Dis
charged Into Vast Street Crowd.
Which Seeks to Escape, and
aDeadly Panic Ensues.

CHICAGO, April 30.-One hundred
thousand men, women and children
were tossed in waves about the big
lake front park tonight. Half a
hundred people are known to have
been seriously hurt, a number per-
haps fatally. Scores of others suf.
fered painful injuries. The people
were massed in walls as solid as the
frowning stones of the auditorium
against which they were hurled
when the first strong blow of excite
ment broke the great mob into a
stampede. Under the glare of the
fireworks, which the throng had
gathered to see, the faces of thous.
ande of women showed white and
pleading.
The shrieks of children trampled
under foot could be plainly heard
above the booming of the big bombs
and tho cheers of the unaffected
parts of the vast assemblage. First
the pressure on the west side forced
the crowd against the auditorium,
Studebaker's building and the Art
Institute Then the reaction came,
and with great roar the mob was
forced eastward almost to the lake
side. The Illinois Central suburban
trains were forced to stop, powerless
to get through the press of people.
Aside from the presence of the great
crowd itself, the excitement was the
huge serpentine fireworks.
Many of them shot out from the
stand and squirmed through the
people, scorching everybody in their
course. Others followed a moment
later, seeming literally to rip the
crowd in two. Women tainted every
where, and were brutally trampled
upon as they lay in the grass. A
movement of the crowd away from
the threatened horror of wholesale
panic was met by the movement in
the opposite direction, and the result
was a terrible convulsion of the
whole body.
Seventyfye policemen sent by
Captain Bartram to keep order were
tossed about as they might have
been on billowy sea. But the
worst was to come. Congress street
is narrow alongside the auditorium.
and when the greatest jam came, as
it soon afterward did, when the fire
works were over and the people
started westward encountered the
multitudes who had been unable to
see the pyrotechnics, the collision
was frightful
Men fought and cursed and bore
each other down, the women and
children meantime getting the worst
OF the struggle. They were knocked
under foot and ground by thousands
of heels, their cries going unheeded
in the din. The policemen in de
spair threatened to shoot the men
who were pressing resistlessly over
the unfortunate women. Some off
GERS did draw their revolvers and fire
into the air to brighten the mob into
quiet, but apparently nothing could
stay the outbreak.
1t was not until the west bound
thousands at last forced their way
into Wabash avenue that the wild
scene ended The victims were hur-
riedly gathered and carried to their
homes and the hospitals. No time
was consumed in asking names or
keeping records. 1t is impossible
to give the number of persons hurt
in the jam. One estimate places it
at not less than 1000.

A Railroad the Train Sinks in Earth.

A remarkable freight wreck occur
red on the Cairo Short Line, two
miles from Belleville, ILL.,, Sunday
morning of last week A freight
train was running toward Belleville
The track was clear ahead, when sud
denly, without any warning, the road
bed began to sink, and the engineer
and fireman felt themselves rapidly
dropping below the surface of the
surrounding country. They jumped
for their lives, and both escaped with
a few bruises. The engine and train
went down distance of ten feet, and
a terrific wreck occurred The cars,
engine and freight were smashed and
destroyed in the earth. AS soon as
the frightened trainmen could recov.
er their wits they learned that the
train was over Marsh's coal mine
and that the mine had cayed in
Along the track for distance of loo
feet the road had sunk from eight to
ten feet. Two brakemen went down
with the wreck and were seriously
hurt.

The Washington correspondent OF
the Louisville Cou1ier-J ouTndl says:
John w. Mason, Commissioner of
Internal Revenue, has been less than
five weeks in office, but during his
short incumbency he has found
time to ask for the designations
of every Democrat in the bureau,
from chief of division to laborer. In
other words, he has dismissed them.
His predecessor, Joseph 5. Miller,
made no removals and appointed
Democrats to fill vacancies caused
by death only.

town and never grew much until
the past two years when the Achison
Topeka & Sante Fe r. R. Co. built
an air line road through there to
make the shortest line between Chi
cago and Kansas City They built
large round house and bought
more than a thousand acres of land
and are trying to build town. They
are succeeding to some extent, for
their agents are getting people to
buy lots and build houses, and max
ing them believe that by so doing
they are on the road to fortune. But
their imaginations will cease as soon
as their money is gone. Then some
man with capital seizes the property
paying half, third or even a
fourth of what it cost, and there is
no remedy for it. A great many
honest men are taken in, this way.
They get excited over the represen-
tations of land agents and go beyond
their means.

Dancing ut Eighty.Five.

The island of Nantucket is off the
track of the modern world. The
people and their customs are very
unlike those in any other part of the
world--the "of-island part" as the
Nantucketers are wont to call it.
Old fashioned customs and habits
prevail. They know but little about
the new tangled manners and meth
DDS of modern social life. They fol
low the beaten paths of century
ago, live simple, thrifty, laborious
lives, and furnish little business for
the doctors.
They thrive financially and physi-
cally.
A visitor at an evening gathering
on the island, not long since, tells
how one lady, aged ninety -one, pre-
sided at the piano, and another, aged
eighty-fv danced "And you may
take my word for it, adds the visi-
tor, "that the dancing was sure
enough dancing, if one might judge
from the lady's swapping eyes, nerv
Gus speech and decisive character"
Locality and climate would seem
to have comparatively little effect on
health and longevity if people lived
simply as nature dictates, and when
ailing built up with natures simple
remedies, like Warmers Log Cabin
Sarsaparilla, instead of pulling down
the system by using poisonous min
eral drugs.
People who hasten to the physi-
clan every time they have head
ache, or experience any of the minor
evidences of natures sure revolt
against disobedience of her laws, will
not be found dancing at eighty five.
The mineral poisons of the apothe-
cary lead to early physical decay.
The long-lived, rugged Nantucket
ers, who enjoy life's pleasures when
octogenarians, illustrate what the
''off-island'' portion of the world may
experience if they live by natures
law and use old fashioned log cabin
remedies of roots and herbs for the
ordinary ills that flesh is heir to.

Value of Experiment Stations.

Some interesting statements were
made by Prof. Geo. Ii. Cook at a
Bellefonte institute last year, and
published in the proceedings Of the
Pennsylvania board of agriculture,
from which we gather the following
items: More than forty thousand
tons of commercial fertilizers were
used in New Jersey in 1887, which
were sold for over one million dol
lars Prof. Cook thinks that over a
million tons are sold in the United
States annually. Farmers cannot
judge correctly of the genuine or
spurious character of these fertiliz-
ers by the color, smell, taste or APP
pearance. The published accounts
of the analyses are Of great value to
both honest manufacturers and to
purchasers; in one case, the expert
ment station analysed fertilizer
which was sold for $45 a ton, but
which could have been made for So.
The station has been the means of
driving all the impositions out of the
State, and saved hundreds of thous-
ands of dollars to farmers.
Some varieties of wheat will yield
five, ten or even twenty bushels an
acre more than others. Growing
side by side under the same circum-
stances, with the careful weighing
and measuring of the experiment
stations, will reveal remarkable diff
ferences. A case occurred where a
farmer was induced to buy seed of a
new and Landed variety. 1t grew by
the side of his good old sort, with
the same treatment. The new kind
looked better while growing than
the old one, the straw was taller and
heavier, and the farmer intended to
save it for the next years sowing.
But when he thrashed the crops he
found the new wheat yielded %
bushels to the acre and the old kind
A bushels. That was the end of
the new sort. Many questions like
this could be settled by experiment
stations. The wheat crop Of the
United States is from 400,0O0,000 to
500, 100000 bushels year. When
the question is properly answered as
to which are the best kinds for profit,
the answer will return to the coun-
try more than all the experiment
stations have cost. If by the diffu-
sion of such knowledge to a tenth
part of the wheat growing farmers
in the Union, one tenth of the whole
amount could be gained, the aggre-
gate would be $40,000,000.
