1OOTH ANNIVERSARY.
Celebration OF the Corner Stone Lay
Ing Of the National Capitol
The Presidents Speech.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1S.-The celebra-
tion of the Tooth anniversary Of the lay
ing of the corner store of the national
capitol took place to-day. Tho weather
was fine.
The day was ushered in by the ringing
of the Centennial chimes.
THE PROCESSION
started at 1 O'Clock, headed by the presi-
dent and cabinet, who we're loudly cheercd
all along the route and was an hour on
the march. Ceremonies at the capital
began at 2 o'clock, and opened with
prayer by Rev. VIM. Paret, bishop OF
Maryland.
PRESIDENT oLEvELAND's ADDRESS.
The president spoke in clear voice
and said:
II accept with much satisfaction the
part assigned me OH this occasion. No
thinking man can escape tho sober refiec-
tions which these ceremonies suggest
Those who may suppose We are
simply commemorating the begin
ming of this magnificent structure, de-
voted to important public uses, overlook
the most useful lesson of the hour. Our
celebration is chiefly valuable and
significant because this edlfice was de-
signed by great men as a place where the
principles of free government should be
developed in patriotic legislation for the
benefit of a free people.
II believe our follow citizens have no
greater or better cause for rejoicing al
this centennial than is found IN the as
surance that their public servants will
guard the sentiment and traditions thai
gather round this celebration; that il
days to come those who shall again com
memorate the laying Of the corner. .ston'
of this capital will find in their recital o
our performance of this public duty M
less reason for enthusiasm and congra
tulations than we find i'm recording tn
wisdom and virtues of those proceeding
u.s." W
After the presidents address there wa
music by the band and speech by Wm
Writ Henry, orator OF the day. Vic
President Stevenson made a historica
address, followed by Speaker Crisp; tn
closing speech being by Com. NJ. NJ
Parker ON behalf of the District of Col
umbia.

DecoitfuI Appearances.

Twas chatting with Montague street
real estate man in his Office few days
ago, when woman entered who attracted
the attention of both Of us. She was
middle aged, very plain in face and fig
ure and wore black dress which was
patched and ripped in many places. Her
entire appearance denoted poverty and
misery and indicated that she had q
great struggle to keep the wolf from en-
tering at her door. Instinctively feeling
that the woman was beggar. we were
about to offer her some money, when she
astonished us little by saying she had
some private business with the real estate
man.
They went into his inner Office and
were engaged for about fifteen minutes
in earnest conversation. After she had
gone and my friend had ceased to gaze
in open mouthed amazement at her van
ishing figure, he enlightened me as to her
object in the following manner: "Well,
I'll be darned! That woman wanted to
buy a $40 900 piece o. property have for
sale, and she had So 900 in her pocket to
pay down to bind the bargain. O Lord,
think if had offered her ten cents and
told her to clear out"--Brooklyn Eagle.

Early in the present century two
brothers Of the peasant class were labor
ing in the fields when their tools struck
against metallic substance, which
proved to be massive chain many
pounds in weight which they took to be
of brass and carried away with them,
thinking it might be useful as n plow
chain. On reaching their humble cot
tage the weight and luster of the metal
aroused their attention. A link Of the
chain was detached and taken to the
nearest town, was tested and proved to
be fine gold. The fortunes Of the men
were assured could they have kept their
own counsel, but boasting Of their pros
poets and spending money lavishly on
the strength Of them, curiosity and sus-
picion were aroused. Wives and chill
dren chatted about the wonderful find,
and at last the officers of the crown de-
scended upon the scene. The treasure,
which proved to be worth several thou
sand pounds, was snatched from its find

atrocious crime was committed in Cleve-

secured for him time and again. About
a year ago | concluded to change my
residence and put an advertisement in a
morning paper Of Cleveland for fur
nished room. Among the replies was a
letter from tho missing murderer. writ

Cleveland man had room he desired to
rent and answered my advertisement,

one intended for me. learned from the
letter that the man wanted was night
