gested traffic would interfere with the
passage of the visitors carriages, to say
nothing of the public"
Chicago's Auditorium, the greatest as
sembly hall of the continent, was ablaze
with light and beauty last night. Lovely
women were there whose presence would
create a furOre at a drawing room in
Buckingham Palace, women in toilets
that would put to shame the greatest
creations of a Worth. And there were
men who have made their imprint on
the history of this and other nations,
statesmen and diplomats, warriors that
have faced the dusky foe in the jungles
and tried conclusions with the enemy on
the briny deep; men of letters and of law,
of science and of art. Patriotism was
the animative motive of the occasion and
the event. So far as the official pro-
gramme of the dedication week was con-
oerned, last nights reception had no
recognition, beyond the formal endorse
ment of the Committee on Ceremonies of
the Worlds Columbian Exposition
1t was a scene of almost indescribable
brilliancy that presented itself to the Wis
ion of the Vice-P President of the United
States when, leaning upon the arm of
President H. N. Higginbotham, of the
Worlds Fair Directory, he appeared upon
the floor of the ballroom. The steel cur
tain of the stage had been raised, and in
it's place nalf fluttered the Spanish royal
banner. To the right and left, above
and below, were banners upon which
were embroidered the initials of Queen
Isabella and her consort, the rulers of
Spain at the time of the great discoverer.

LONDON, Oct. 20.-The decision of
Justice Hawkins in the case of the al
legged poisoner, Thomas Neill Cream, to
permit the admission of testimony in re-
gard to other alleged poisoning cases, as
well as that of Matilda Clover, for which
the prisoner is on trial, is regarded as
lessening Creams chances of escape.
John Patrick Haynes photographer,
testified that Cream had shown him a
notebook in which were entered the ini-
tials of the women who had been poisoned
together with the date of their death.
Miss Laura Sabbatini, the girl who was
engaged TO marry Cream, testified she,
at Creams request, wrote the letters used
in the attempted blackmailing of Dr.

place to-day Innumerable societies are
to take part in the parade, which will be
reviewed by the Vice President, the
Cabinet and other notables.
This evening" at jackson Park, amid
myriads of electric lights and other dis
plays, a water pageant, the Procession
of the Centuries, will move through the
waterways of the Exposition grounds.
There have been few bitches in the
orderly procession of events, but nothing
that promises to interfere seriously with
the success of the celebration. The peo-
pie are anxious to see the big military
parade tomorrow, but the line Of march, as
far as things are settled at present, is to
be from Washington Park to jackson,
and every one who knows the geography
of Chicago knows how tar from the real
city those points are.
The citizens are signing petitions tc
have the soldiers go through the down

that he does not think that it will be
possible to take the troops through the

braces 633 acres of which about one fifth
had been improved as public pleasure
park. No more beautiful or convenient
site for a Worlds Fair could have been
found in the world,
The waters of the lake have been let

may be made in boats Landscape garden
ers have had almost carte blanche in the
matter of decoration and have kept pace
with the architects in making an entirely
beautiful and artistic site beyond the an
ticipations of the most enthusiastic Chi

There are thirteen main Exposition
buildings.
Along the western boundary of the
grounds are the tracks of the Illinois
Central Railroad, by which every Eastern
and Southern trunk line may run it's cars
direct to the grounds. Gable cars and an
elevated road also reach jackson park
from the heart of the city, insuring,

were true. He told me, however, that
he had gotten it in another way.
At one of the boat places in his coun-

Franklin's men had persisted, and their
skeletons, mixed with debris, were
found scattered around, this fellow,
then boy, secured small red flask,
filled with black sand, as he called it.
He had no use for the black sand, but
wanted the bright red flask, SO he poured
out the contents alongside of the lamp,
giving them a careless flourish that
threw them in the flames. His subse-

they were at virtual war with the Kin
derliks, or Copper Esquimaux, and they
killed each other whenever they met.
There is also legend on the Yukon
river, of Alaska, common to both In
dams and Esquimaux, that where they
have met and contended for the lands
the latter have invariably forced the
Indians back until the Esquimaux now
occupy some four hundred miles Of the
stream from its mouth. They are now
at peace, however, and the Makagan-
mute Esquimaux, the farthest inland,
live peacefully and associate with the
Anviks and Skagelooks. The same
statement of affairs can be made of the
Konskoquim and some other rivers of
Alaska and the British Northwest ter
ritory wherever the two races have
come in contact
To take it altogether the Esquimaux
are not quarrelsome set. True,
number of people who ought to know
what they are talking about have init
mated that the Netschilluks, the seal
eaters have just mentioned, probably
murdered Sir John Franklin's Inflated
party while endeavoring to escape from
ice bound ships in the arctic, but the
most that can be said against them is
that it is theory supported by only
few inconsiderable facts. Family
feuds, carried to the extent of killing
each other, are not SO uncommon as
war. and yet from our own standpoint
OF the civilized man they are extremely
few.
The Esquimaux are very slow and de-
iberate, and even in the rare cases Of a
feud existing it is often years before re-
venge is taken, which is made to atone
for some previous and almost ancient
murder.
When was with my party among the
Netschilluks Of King Williams Land
and adjacent mainland there came q
sullen-looking fellow of squat, "dumpy
stature, whose mission, so my Esquimau
found ont in some way, was to kill my
best hunter, Toolooah, who was an
lwillik, or walrus eater, as that tribal
name implies. Many, many years be-
fore, when this particular Netschilluz
was mere child, boreal brat in bear
skin breech-clouts, a relative of his,
sort of forty-second cousin by way of
Adam and Eve, had been killed by an
lwillik In their country and it had just
occurred to him that 1t was about time
to get even while the event was yet
within the memory of the oldest inhab-
liant. Toolooah knew nothing Of the
matter at all, but he was an Twillik,
and that settled it so far as the Nets
chilluk's revenge was concerned. just
about that time it occurred to me that
could not spare Toolooah's valuable serv-
ices, and l somewhat astonished them
by announcing that if Toolooah or any
other member Of my party was killed |

A HARMONlCON FIEND.
How He Flourished for . Season but Wa

This is the season when the young
man with the harmonicon is ripe. He
is now largely engaged in going to and
returning from picnics, and incidentally
nurturing profanity en- route by tortur-
ing elevated and surface car passengers
1t is a popularity of the harmonicon
habit that il deadens its victims to the
rights of others It is estimated that
only one person In every million, out
side Of the victim of the disease, enjoys
the alleged music of the harmonieon.
Yet it may be noticed by an observ-
ant person that a harmonicon fend
will throw all the force of his in,
variably robust nature into playing
''chunes" every time he gets into a
street car.
