Il e estimated that $1,000 men were in
line of the Columbian parade in New York.
It took fully six hours to pass given point
The parade was over fifteen miles long. The
troops which led the column had reached
Fity-ninth street and disbanded and Ne
turned to the lower part of the city before
the last four divisions of the parade had
started.
After the military pageant was over, the
crowds directed their steps to Central park,
where the Columbus monument was IN
yelled.
Hardly had the last strains of the music
died away .frCm the neighbo.hood of the
Columbus monument at tbs Fifty-ninth
street entrance to Central Park, than New
York and her half million or more visitors
we're again packed along, ana about another
line of parade and eager to witness another
pageant. TIE scenes of the morning at the
side streets and along the route of the pa
rade, ON the grand stands, house tops and
,toops, in windows and on balconies, were
repeated. It seemed as If 100, 600 instead
of g, OOO, 900 people had gathered to watch the
last great sight of tho three days series of
of evens, celebrating the discovery OF
America.
The parade was remarkable from the fact
That it made the wonderful showing of the
use of electricity could be put to, as power
and rs q light.
First came the platoon of mounted police
escort, followed by the body of bicycllsts,
1000 strong, each bearing flag and lantern
and led by Champion Zimmerman. After
the wheelmen came twelve heralds, mounted
on white steeds, and preceding Colonel John
g. Garnett, grand mHrshal, and his aides.
Following the grand marshal came the twenty
historical cars, or floats. The last float was
"a Car of Electricity" This masterpiece
was labelled 1.-THE Hydra of Lightning
Controlled by the Genius of Edison" It
was thirty feet long and drawn by ten horses
and Illuminated by 5000 electric lights. By
the words mentioned, Hydra of Lightning,
Controlled by the Genius of Edison" ap-
peared giant monsters head, illei with
electric lights. By lines of miniature inca
descent lights winged woman refined in the
monster. Thirty b. autiful young girls in
metallic costumes stood on a revolving dlsc
and reflected the thousands of lights on the
float. In the center of this group was q
globe with long, latitudinal lines, marked in
electric lights. 1t is safe to say such mag
nific.n float had never before been seen,
and the applause with which it was greeted
showed it was appreciated.
Indians to the number of 5000 closed up
the p .rade.

LONDON, October 14.-.rhe Star makes .
covert attack on the Prince of Wales absence
from the funeral services of Lord Tennyson.
It was announced that the prince would be
present, but he did not attend. The Star
prints a letter saying the Prince of Wales
prefers to 60 shooting or to attend the New
Market races to attending the funeral of such
a man as Tennyson. The writer protests, as
patriotic taxpayer. that the Prince of Wales
finds the popping over of helpless birds more
congenlal employment than attending the
funerals of great men, and urges his derelic-
ton ON this occasion should not be allowed
to pass without official protest.

Judge Paxon's Charges to the
Grand Jury.


PITrsBURG, Pa, October 12.-The unusual
court of the state sitting as Judge in the
court of oyer and terniner of a county in the
state, was witnessed by large crowd in the
criminal court room, when Chief Justice
Paxon charged the grand jury as to what
constitutes treason against the members of
the Homestead strikers advisory committee.
His presence here in the case is because this
is the first case of the kind in the state.
He detailed how the authority of the sher-
if had been denied, the arrival of the Pink
ertons, the riot following and finally the
mobilization of state troops, adding: "We
can have some sympathy with mob driven
to desperation by hunger, as in the days of
the French revolution, but we can have none
for lnen receiving exceptionally high wages
in resisting the law and resorting to violence
and bloodshed in the association of imagi-
nary rights and entailing such vast expense
upon the taxpayers of the commonwealth.
It was not cry for bread to feed their fam
ishlng lips, resulting IN a sudden outrage,
with good provocation; it is deliberate at
tempt by men without authority, to control
Others IN the enjoyment of their rights. The
men had a right to refu.e to work. and to
persuade others to io,n them. but the mo-
ment they attempted to control the works and
resorted to violence, they placed themselves
outside the pale of the law.
If we were to concede the doctrine that the
employe may dictate to his employer the
terms of his employment, and upon the re-
fueal of the latter to accede to them to take
possession of his property and drive others
away who are willing to work, we would have
anarchy. No business could be conducted
upon such a basis" The justice then de-
fined as treason the organization of large
number of men in a common purpose to
defy the law, resist officers and deprive any
portion of their fellow-cltizens of their rights
under the constitution and laws. ''It is
state of war;" said ne, ''when business
plant has to be surrounded by the army of
the state to protect it from unlawful violencs
at the hands of former employees. Every
member of such associated government,
whether it be an advisory committee, or by
what name it is called, if it participated in
such usurpation, was engaged in defiance of
the law and violation of the rights of other
citizens, and has committed treason against
the state.
IF you find from the evidence that the de-
PENDANTS have, or any of them has COM
mitted, participated or aided in any of the
acts which have defined to you as cousti-
tuting the offense of treason ii will be your
sworn DUTY to find true bill against the
party or parties so offending"
