All old Parisians remember q queer fell
low with yellowish beard who more than
20 wears ago used to give rat shows. He
would put his fiat basket down at the street
corners. With his cage of rats in reach of
his hand he would hold up two rods fastened

Closing Ceremonies.

CHICAGO, Oct. 22.-The last of the
Colum bian fete days in Chicago has
closed The buildings in which the
worlds fair of 1898 is to be housed have
been dedicated to the progress of art,
manufacture and science; and so, to the
progress and elevation of humanity.
The formal transfer of the great
structures in Washington park has been
consummated and Uncle Sam is tho pos
SCISSOR of a new piece of property. Vice
President Morton, upon the platform in
the great hall where the dedication
ceremonies took place, acted in behalf
of the federal authorities in receiving
from the hands of the men who had
pushed their construction the practical
ly completed piles in which the nations
of the earth shall contend for friendly
rivalry.
1t was just half past ~, when a burst
of cheering that swelled into vast
volume of sound announced the arrival
of the vice-president. The hall at this
moment was a wonderful sight The
hackneved expression "a sea of up
turned faces" was in this case literal
ly correct, for forty-four acres were
covered with eXpectant couutenanceS,
turned toward the northern entrance,
over which band was playing "Hail
COlumbi The music came but faint
ly, however, to those in the center OF
the hall, being drowned by the cheering
and the booming of guns from the
United States steamer Michigan, lying
off the exposition grounds, and the vol
ley firing of light battery stationed al
the north inlet.
