THE EXPOSITION OPENED.

A Grand Display Of Military Pomp Before
the Opening.
The Minneapolis Exposition opened
last Wednesday afternoon. The process
sion formed in front Of the West hotel
between 80 and 2 O'Clock. During that
time large crowds had gathered on the
four corners and lined Hennepin avenue
up to Tenth street while waiting for the
procession to move, the crowds in the
vicinity of the West hotel were treated
to an exhibition of equestrian skill by
none other than Grand Marshal W. E..
Steele. Mr.. Steele was mounted on a
cream colored charger, who champed his
bit, frothed at the mouth and pranced
around in the most spirited and hazard
ous style. But "Willie'' sat like a rock
in his saddle, proving conclusively his
claim to dis tinction as cavalier.
The command to forward march, was
given at 2:l0 p. m. The procession then
moved up .Hennepin avenue to Tenth
street, through Tenth to Nicollet and
down licollet to the bridge, and thence
up Central avenue to the Exposition
An admiring throng of patriotic citizens
made the sidewalks almost impossible
throughout the entire line of march.
Reeves band and the Minneapolis fire
department received the largest share OF
the applause.
After the mounted police and Reeves
band came the carriages. Seated in the
first carriage we're Gov. Merriam and
President s. G. Gale. Then came the
directors of the Exposition. In another
carriage, sitting side by side, were Thos.
Lowry and Bishop McGolrick. Behind
this distinguished pair rode the august
city fathers. Very dignided they looked
with their clean collars, shiny hats and
sober faces.
The militia, Flambeau club, Fort Smell
ling cavalry and artillery, the First regi-
ment and the fire department completed
the processicz

Charles Dickens.

A mind of the caliber of that of Chas.
Dickens, the matchless novelist, could
comprehend fully the magnifcence OF
this country and the enterprise of its
people. A brother to humanity, con-
scient1ous student Of human nature, and
. progressive writer, he was quick to see
what others of his countrYmen had not,
that the possibilities of this country
we're enormous. illimitable. What i'm
pressed him mos, of practical features,
were the facilities for travel and the re-
suits produced by our democratic rail-
way systems. Particularly did he note
how women could travel alone hundreds
OF miles and be assured of courtesy and
freedom from insult or annoyance, It
is regretted, however, that the great
novelist never saw the great Northwest

The sign of the striped pole, which can
be seen at the door of every barber shop,
was adopted as mathematical of the process
of blood letting, which practice was com.
mon remedy for nearly all diseases until
about fifty years ago. The patients arm,
usually the left, was made bare, he was
then given short, round stick to grasp in
his hand, the arm was then tightly wrap
ped with narrow bandage or tape to the
elbow. This was done in order to get all
the blood above the point where the lancet
was to be inserted. The red stripe on the
pole is symbolical of the arterial blood, the
blue stripe Of the veins or venous circula-
ton and the white of the arm. The brass
basin sometimes suspended from the bar
ber's pole quite common in Europe, though
rarely seen in this country was anciently
