THE PRESIDENT SPEAKS.

The president spoke in Chicago
theatre, the greatest in the world, costing
$4,000 ,000, After the applause had
somewhat suhsiled President Harrison
advanced slowly to the front, and bowiug
to the great assemblase, spoke as folcws:
"Ladies and Gentlemen: All of my
newspaper friends have been ruzz(ing
themselves IN order to discover the reason
why | left Washington to be present
here tonight. do not think I need,
on view OF the magnificent spectacle pre-
senred to Us here to night, to state the
motives which have impeled my presence
Surely no loyal citizen Of Chicago who
sits here tonight under this bewitchug
and magnificent scene will ask for any
other reason than that which 10 here
presented. l DO most heartily congratu-
late you upon the completion and naugu
ration of thismasnificent building, with,
out an equal in this country, and, so far
as / know without an equal in the
world. We have here about us to night
in this magnificent architecture and in
this tasteful decoration that which is an
education and an inspiration. 1t might
well tempt one whose surroundings were
much farther removed from this scene
than is the capital city to make a longer
journey than have done, and stand for
an hour in view Of such spectacle Of
magn licence and granduer and archtee-
tural triumph as this.
And if that be true surely there is
reason enough why the president may
turn aside for little while from public
duty to mingle with the citizens in cele.
braing an event so high aud so worthy
of commemoration as the triumph to-
night. No speech, certainly not the
careless words of an extemporaneou,
speech, can adequately express alt the
sentiments feel in contemplating the
elimination Of the deed. Only the voice
Of an immortal singer can cause to ring
in these arches those echoes which tell us
1.-THE true secrets and architectural triumphs
OF their construction.
"You will permit me to thank the
mayor, to thank the president Of thn
association, and all those good citizens
with whom I to day have been brought
in personal contact, for the kindness and
respect with which you have received me
and you will permit me to thank you
my fellow citizens, for the cordiality will
which you have kindly received me herr
tonight. 1t is my wish, and may it b.
the wish Of all, that this great buildin.

The navigablc waters Of the Columbia
and its tributaries are second only in the
United States to those Of the Mississippi
river. This system drains an extensive
valley, rich in agricultural and mineral
wealth.
Its wheat growing industry alone,
although but partially developed, is re-
garded as base from which largo
part of the supply Of foreign markets is
obtained. It rivals that Of the Dakotas,
and in time will surpass the output Of the
upper Mississippi country.
Along the lino OF the upper Columbia
there is an extensive mineral belt, rich in
gold, silver, iron, copper, granite, lime,
marble, lumber and potter's clay. Coal
has also been discovered recently and
pr misses to become an important feature
Of the mining industry Of this region.
In tact, the resources Of the Columbia
valley sle numerous and varied, and
promise to furnish a constant source ol
shipping whenever the river is made
available to commerce. IF estimates
could be made by supervising engineer
and presented to congress as basis fol
an adequate appropriation, the neal
future would develop river commerc'

A certain gentleman, who keeps
boarding house for the accommodation
of actors not far from Union square,
has resolved that he will never again
accept the manuscript Of a play as Sc
curity of an unpaid board bill. An au-
thor manager, whose name is quite well
known in theatrical circles, lived at
this boarding house something over a
year ago, and when he was ready to
depart he was financially embarrassed.
So he stated his case to the landlord,
and left with him as collateral seal
ed package, which he said contained
two manuscripts of well known
play. Boniface was good natured and
lenient He thought the play was
valuable and that the author would
in time pay the bill. The package re-
manned for year. Then the landlord
called a theatrical business agent into
council and they broke the seals. The
contents were $50 property plots" Of
the play, but there was no manuscript
in the package. The property plots"

Tho Silent Teamster.

1.-THE teamster, as one of the types
of tho frontier, is seldom introduced
in print without allusious to his ingen-
ious and picturesque profanity where
as it is his silence, rather than his utter
ances, that gives him, among his
brethren of the way almost the dis
tinction of a species.
1.-THE sailor has his 'chanty,' the
negro boatsman his rude refrain; we
read of the Cossack's wild marching
chorus of the begging song, of the
Russian exiles on the great Siberian
road, of the Persian minstrel in the
midst of the caravan, reciting, in q
high, singing voice, tales of battle and
love and magic to beguile the way
For years the parlor vocalist has rung
the changes upon barcaroles and Ca
madam boat songs, but not the most
fanciful of popular composers has ven
tured to dedicate note to the dusty
throated voyager of the overland trail
He is not unpicturesque; he has
every claim that hardship can give TO
popular sympathy; yet, even to the
most inexperienced Imagination, he
pursues his way in silence along those
Hateful roads, the names of which will
soon be legendary. AS a type he was
evolved by these roads to meet their
exigencies. He was known on the
great Sante Fe trail, on the old Ore
gon trail, on all the historic pathways
that have carried westward the story
of restless and q determined people.
The railroads have driven him from
the main lines of travel; he is now
merely the link between them and scat
tered settlements difficult Of access.
When the systems of feeders to the
main track are completed his work
will be done. He will have left no rec
ord among songs of the people OF
lyrics Of the way, and in fiction, oddly
enough, this most enduring and silent
of beings will survive-through the
immortal rhetoric of his biographies

curses. Mary Hallock Foote in Cen

Spruce Wood for Pulp.

The use Of spruce wood as pulp stock
has been good thing for Maine and
has wonderfully increased the value
OF many acres of our timber lands.
An instance is noted by The Somer.
set Reporter Before spruce was used
for pslp 5000 acres of land in Cara
funk plantation. that had been closely
cut for logs, were sold for sixty cents
an acre. The stumpage of the same
lot is now worth dollar per cord for
pulp wood, while the land has paid
for itself many times over. The Re-
porter remarks that timber land will
stand an astonishing amount Of cut
tingif fire is kept out Of it, and will
last for many years as a producer Of
pulp wood. The demand for this
stock must increase, as new uses
are discovered for pulp almost every
day, and our pulp manufacture is con-
stantly expanding. In some locai-
ties the refuse slabs and edgings that
were formerly thrown away or burned
up. now command high price at the
pulp mills. Lewiston Journal.

Early Tennessee History.

Tennessee became a state after
the war for Independence.
1t ranks with Virginia and Mas
sachusetts in producing national
men.
VIM. Bean began its history by
building a cabin in East Tennessee
in 1869.
The Cherokees, Chickamaugas,
and Creek Indians were driven
from the soil by the white men,
The Great-Trace ran through
East Tenn, and connected the south
west aid the North Fort Loudon
was the first-fort-built by English
speaking people on Tenn, soil. The
fort surrendered to the Indians who
killed all except a man nahled
Christie. Trappers, hunters and ex-
plorers gave names to many of the
mountains and streams.
John Sewer crushed the power OF
the indians in the east; James
Robertson did the same in the west.
Russell Bean was the first white
child born on Tennessee soil. En-.
igrants became the owners of the
land by paying for the same in hard.

his duty to say in letter that the

in it-some foundation for 1t. We

THE inventive genius in woman
ought to be superior to man because
she is much more imaginative.
The imagination is the prime origi.
native and constructive power.
Why then is woman not an inven-
tor? "Why was it not a woman
who invented the sewing machine :?
or the knitting machine? or the
spinning jenny? or the carding
machine ? or the clothes wringer !?
or the patent carpet-broom I? or the
safty.pin ? or the corset fastener !?
or the India rubber hair-pin ?" The
answer is that all inventions lie
close in their origin to inventive
opportunity. We suppose then
that woman's inventive genius will
not be utalized unless she be ad-
mitted to the laboratories and the
workshops. The practical machin.
list is the man to whom we look for
improved machinery. Will the
door Of opportunity be opened to
woman? Is there any one wise
enough to tell?

rhs Lawn renpi. PLAYER.

The professional lawn tennis player,
male and female, il also another gain
to society. We apologize most humbly
for the designation, for we are we'll
aware that happily there are no PRO
fessional" lawn tennis players in this
country. But the game has become
the serious occupation OF so many
young men and women Of leisure that
1t is difficult not 10 regard it as q dis
tinct caling. The player Of the high
est grade is q sad and earnest person
whose whole life is spent in trying TO-
get fifteen better" than anybody else;
and when he or she at length attains
that exalted position, sleepless nights
and laborious days are spent in the
effort to maintain it
Those innocent persons who look
upon lawn tennis merely as q pleasant
pastime would be met by smile Of
contemptuous pity from crack play.
err Morning, noon and night, all the
year round, the stars do nothing but
practice the game. In the summer
they move about from one tourna-
ment to another, winning all the best
prizes; and when autumn comes they
fly to Cannes, Nice or Algiers TO pur-
sue their favorite occupation. In the
case of ladies such devotion is the
more praiseworthy, because Of the
real sacrifices it entails. The lady
player who really means business has
to let her appearance go. She must
play, hail, rain or shine, her face
burned in the sun and freckled in the
wind, while all feminine prettiness Of
apparel is sacrificed to the stout, ser.
viceable garments, heelless shoes and
plain hats which alone are suitable.
A flutter of laces and ribbons about
her, tight shoes or hat perched inse-
curely on her head would put her off
her stroke" altogether. Of course
there are some who contrive to COM
bine play with prettiness, but they
are in the minority.-All the YEA.
