A THOUSAND DOLLAR HAMMER,

Tool With Which Mrs. Palmer Will Finish
the Woman's Building at Chicago.
Before the Woman's building at the
Worlds Fair is dedicated next month there
will be pretty ceremony, during which
Mrs. Potter Palmer, President of the
Woman's Board, will drive the "last nail, F"
to mark the completion of the structure.
The nail will be made of gold. silver and
copper, set with gems, and will be the gift
of the women of Montana That 'last ma il"
will be driven by hammer in the natural
course of events, and the women of Ne
braska secured the privilege of furnishing
the hammer. OF course, they determined
it must be rich and beautiful and the de-

Neb., promises a hammer of which the
women of America may be proud. 1t rep

Many of the inmates of the Yoshiwara

TERRIBLE SUFFERING OF SAILORS.

Mate Sullivan and Ten Men Spend Twenty.
 five Days in an open Boat.
 SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 20-Full details are received of the wreck of the American ship W. S. Campbell, and the terrible sutferings of the mate and ten sailors in an open boat for twenty five days. Mate A. R- Sullivan and six men arrived on theHonolulu steamer yesterday.
 Sullivan is a young American of con- siderable literary ability, and told an admirable story of the wreck. He re- hearsed the details of the coming of the hurricane off the coast of Mexico when the lumber laden ship ran before the wind.
 1.-The Captain before he left the cabin sat down at the piano and played Down went McGinty.' He decided to set fire to the ship for fear she might wreck other vessels, so as they showed off the torch was applied and soon afterward she blew up, as there were explosives on board
 After staying together two days" added Sullivan, ''I decided to push on, as my boat was the swiftest. All hands were put on short allowance, half-con- densed milk and water and three biscuits day; canned meat at morning meal and in the evening one tin of fruit was used.
 ''On the tenth day our water gave out and l put the men on the same allowance of wine. On the fourteenth, signs of weakness were noticeable in several faces. Twenty days out and all our liquids were exhausted. The men be- haved we'll with the exception of three Chilian sailors. The men noticed that the ChiEans seemed to stand the short allowance better than themselves and it was decided to ascertain the way they did 1t.
 "Watch was set, and during the night they were discovered eating from the ra- tions of the supposed sleeping sailors. It was all 1 could do to save the lives of the Chilians, as several of the men drew their knives and swore to kill them. Finally, as was stronger than they, overpowered them and threw their knives overheard. Just before we sighted land these men became very weak, and would have died had not help come that day."
 No tidings have been received of the missing boat, which contained Capt. Havener, wife and child, Second Mate Alexander Murray, Third Mate Percy E. Turner and eleven men. It is thought that they were picked up by a vessel go- ing round Cape Horn, or perished.

LIBERAL ARTS.

ble pillars, were the Stars and Stripes in profusion almost beyond the arithmeti- cian's art of calculating or guess work.
 Twenty five boxes were occupied by the Executives of States, commencing with Governor Page, of Vermont, and concluding with Gov. Markham, of Cali fornia. All of the Chief Executives were accompanied either by their staffs, or by their respective families. Conspicuous in the tier of boxes were Governors Nc Kinley, of Ohio, Boies, of Iowa, Peck, of Wisconsin, and Boyd, of Nebraska.
 The Vice President was escorted to position in the eastern corner of the hall and the reception was at once inaugu- rated. The guests passed over the floor in procession, being first introduced to the managers, then to the Committee Of Arrangements, next to the patronesses, and finally, after running this gauntlet, to the Vice President and distinguished guests
 The crush in the ballroom was some thing terrible, and dancing was practi- cally out of the question.
 New orkers who were present here last night drew sorrowful comparisons as they gazed at their tattered garments with the notable Centennial ball, when Ward Mc- Allister managed to make 1 1000 guests com fortable in the Metropolitan Opera House, and he announced that ,000 was the utmost limit of any successful ball. At the conclusion of the reception an d which continued until nearly II o'clock, the Vice President was escorted to the loge on the immediate right of the stags followed by the remainder of the distin- guished guests.
 Although Chicago did not provide any | thing like the great parade of school | children at the Columbian celebration in | New York, public exercises oe some kind were held in all the grammar and high | schools in the city and were well attended | by the parents of the little ones.

 Wallace J. June, administrator of the estate of James Butler, who was killed by falling off a bridge some months since, has brought suit against the town for $5, 900 damages. The attorneys in the action are Wooster, Williams and Gager and H. c. Baldwin.

They will form on Church street at 1:30, right resting at Town hall march over good portion of the towr and be dismissed at St Francis church where William Weary will deliver the address.

At times this morning the tide of hu- manity poured itself out of the Union and Grand Central depots as if it never intended to stop.
 When Gov. Futile of New Hampshire, with his staff and party, reached the city, carriages on hand were barely sufficient for the accommodation of the ladies, and so the Governor headed the procession on foot to the Wellington.
 There was large crowd at the Union station to extend welcome to Gov. Nc K1nley and the delegation from the Buck eye State. They came in force, over 25O of them; members of both branches of the Legislature, representatives of the Judicial bench, officials of the vari ous State Departments and the members of the State Board of Worlds Fair Man agers.
 The Buckeye train had barely been gotten out of the depot when that having the delegation from the Keystone State rolled in. Gov. Pattison was one of the first to ahght from the front end of the second car, while from the rear end peered forth face that has become gen erally known to newspaper readers within the last few weeks-that of Chief ustiee Paxso whose charge to the grand jury in the Homestead treason cases is still ere ating so much of a national sensation.
 Close behind him alighted Maj. Gen. George w. Snowden, who had command of the troops at Homestead.
 The remainder of the party, to total of nearly one hundred, was made up of the Governors staff, State officials and mem- bers of the State Worlds Fair Commits

Three Hundred Children Fall Fifteen Feet
 atH Columbus Festival Rehearsal.
 WEST TWISTED, Conn.,, Oct. 20.-Eight hundred pupils of the public schools, with principals and teachers, yesterday marched to the rink to practice chorus sinsin.; of national airs for the big Colum. bus celebration. Temporary seats were erected in tiers to the height of fifteen feet to hold 1000 pupils.
 They were being seated on the upper seats, and the first 400 had been seated, when the five top rows collapsed. Three hundred children fell to the floor in a heap, and the wreck and their screams caused panic among the others, who es- capped, while several women tainted.
 A crowd was quickly on the spot to rescue the children, some of whom were pulled out with broken arms. legs and collar bones, or otherwise hurt, some be- Ing unconscious.
 All the town doctors were summoned and many teams were pressed into serv- vice to take the children home. None were fatally hurt.
 The smallest children, those from to 12 years of age, occupied the top seats, which had evidently been carelessly con structed. The community is excited and indignant, and there have been threats of lynching Carpenter Curtis, while there are said to be many law suits in store for him.
 The children were to be the feature of the Columbus celebration, but the acci- dent has greatly interfered with tha t part of the programme.
