CHICAGO, Oct. 20.-Last night society
set tie glittering seal of her approval
upon the worlds far. Today 1t was
the turn of the people to express their
appreciation. and they did it in man
ner that will become historical. OF
Chicago's population. one in twenty
marched in the parade. The other
nineteen, reinforced by a half million
visitors from outside points, stood Oh
the sidewalks, packing the streets,
perched on roof and window Sills and
Iammed the various stands along the
line of march 10 see him do it. And
they saw him, toO-15,G0 of him. The
gigantic procession passed through the
streets without an instant's delay, al
ways moving swiftly, and 1t owned the
street from curb TO curb. despite the
desperate crowd of spectators who
pushed and showed in the desire to see
as much as possible of the pride and
pomp of the civic societies.
The Crowd
was something feal full. Chicago has at
different times handled throng of
visitors, but This one was away and be-
You'd anything she has ever dealt with
before. 1t is estimated that at least
100000 people viewed the parade. and
after it was over and done the majority
of the downtown restaurants were COM
PEELED to close their doors until they
could attend to those who had already
gained admittance. 1t was not steady
flow, it was congregation that created
the temporary difficulty in the matter
Of obtaining eatables.
In the main. however. Chicago was
equal TO the OCCASION. Her parade, i'm
mense as it was, never for all instant
got away, and in all that drawn-out
marching horde every man went by the
reviewing stand. and he went at good,
swift pace. Naturally there were ac-
cidentS, fainting women. children tram
pied upon; and here and there man
dropping from roof, but these are the
aftermath OF every gathering such as
was seen on ChicagO'S streets today.
Bue 10 the Police.
That the parade was handled III the
almost perfect manner in which it was,
that it was permitted to finish its march
without let or hlndrance, was due 10
The efficient work of Chicago'S police
force. 1t managed the crowds with dis
INlItll. llidue lew diitStS. diil. VI dli
The features Of great day for this city,
their excellent work stands high on the
list.
The parade was scheduled to start
from Michigan avenue and Van Buren,
street at 1915. This would bring it
past the reviewing stand at the Federal
building thirty minutes later, but de-
spite the utmost efforts of Grand Mar
shall Miles and his aides it was exactly
tWenty-three minutes after II O'cock
when Chief OF Police McLaughrey, at
the head of the parade, brought his
baton up to salute vice president Nor
IN. who viewed the parade on taste
Z Ivy decorated stand, where he was
surrounded by the members of the diff
ferent legations, and throng of bril-
iantiy dressed ladies.
CFleered ti,c Governors.
AS the different governors OF the
states passed the reviewing stand, some
on horseback and some in carriages.
each was greeted with succession of
cheers which kept him bowling for many
minutes. Delaware'S contingent was
first in the lire of state dignitaries, and
her governor received an ovation. Gov.
PattiSon. of Pennsylvania, came i'll for
a warm greeting, and behind his car
rage was his escort, more numerous
than that of any other in the line. AS
Russell, CT Massachusetts. came slowly
up Adams street. mounted on spirited
grey charger, the enthusiasm was more
than doubled, and the governors fiery
horse reared. plunged and turned af-
fright, but his rider sat him well. and,
quickly bringing him down as he passed
before the vice president, he Saluted
gravely and passed on.
The crowd was impartial in politics
and yelled as Justify for Flower, of New
York. whose iron gray hair was barred
to the breeze during the greater portion
of his ride, as it did for Mckinley. of
Ohio. Just before reaching the review
ing stand Gov. McKinley's carriage was
compelled 10 halt, and
a Listie GaElaIn,
clinging to lamp post shouted ''stand
up, Mr.. Mckinley, so we can see gOu."
A roar Of laughter followed the shrill
toned suggestion, and broad smile
went over the governors countenance
as he gracefully took the hint and rose
to his feet to bow his acknowledgment
of the cheers and applause of the
crowd. They came more quickly. Routt,
Of Colorado, short. stout and grey
haired; Weir, Of Washington, hand
some man with light brown side whisk
ers; the bIack-browed Markham, of
California; Fifer, of Illinois. on horse
back, slender, soldierly figure; and
white haired Boies. of Iowa. Each and
Ill of them received warm aud cordial
greeting.
After the digniiarieS had gone came
the rank and file of the parade, and in a
formation of ten files wide. i'll double
rank. they rolled, like q huge human
wave. past the reviewing stand for al
most exactly three hours. AS each sue
ceSSive body reached the east side of the
federal building it was greeted by 1000
little girls arranged in the shape and
draped in the colorS of the American
flag.
Each little Tot
carried in her hand Il dininutive ban
ner. and, as the sweet childish voices
arose to cheer the marching men, those
little pieces of bunting would fiutter
wildly. 1t was a beautiful and inspir-
ing sight, ard not once did the little
ones fail to receive an acknowledge
ment of their kindly greeting.
The Indian boys from the industrial
school at Carlisle, Pa, created enthuSl-
astic cheers as they came by. They
carried long yellow poles, upon the
ends of which were fastened models OF
various tools, emblematic of the differ
ent trades. The copper-colored lads
marched exceedingly well. and their
neat gray uniform showed them off 10
advantage. The German Turner's. a
mass of Sinewy. stalwart young fellows
in gray coats. trousers and soft felt hats,
