partment OF the exposition. Considering
the throng, there were surprisingly few
accidents of \ serious character, however
ana the ambulances were seldom called
into requisition.
Most of the People Walked.
Inside the grounds the facilities for get
ting around are varied. Most of the peo
pie, OIL course, walk, but for those who
prefer to utilize other modes of locomo-
ton there are the wheeled chairs, which
convey the sightseers by land, or tho cleo
trio launches and other craft which cruise
through the lagoons and canals, passing
on the route all the principal buildings
anu points Of attraction. OF course such q
multitude is always hungry and thirsty
and the thousand and one restaurants and
refreshment bars scattered through the
grounds do a thriving business
Very naturally the first thought of the
sightseer is to look up the relics of the cell
ebrated mariner whose name is given to
the exposition. They are found i'm the re-
production of the Convent of la Rabida,
which is facsimile, as nearly as may be, of
the historic structure in which Columbus
sought refuge after being repulsed In his
efforts to gain the assistance of the Portu

the walls are almost bare of ornament but
in the model raised to commemorate the

Here the famous picture of the prior of

Beside it is the curious anchor said to be

An old bell from the church of Santo
Cerro, in San Domingo, the spot where
Columbus fought his first battle with the
Indians, is one of number of Interesting

chicngo's Bad Police Arrangements.


CHICAGO, May 2.-NO sooner had the
opening ceremonies commenced than tho
bad police arrangements ut the Worlds
fair We're shown. A handful of Column
bian guards had been detailed for duty to
keep the inside border of the mass of hui
manity from encroaching on the press
seats, but not even n rope was strung
along the line of the grand stand to keep
n passage way clear for the newspaper men
and ambulance corps. The pushing and
crowding at the northeast end of the Adj
ministration building soon became so Sc
we're that many women tainted The Co
lumbar guards We're not numerous
enough to manage the crowd, and the sit
uation every minute became more critical
While the poem was being read it looked
as though panic with fatal consequences
could not DO averted. The guards were
powerless and their work was no more
elfectual than child's play. City police
mingled with the guards and endeavored
to Quiet the excited, swaying mass within
bounds of personal safety. Before the
cerenlQnieS were half over 90 women and
half as many children had been removed
QHc94Acious to the hosdital, where corps
of physicians was in waiting. For several
minutes it looked as though terrible
catastrophe could not be averted. With
the view OF facilitating the disposal of the
throng President Biginbotham escorted
Mr.. Cleveland and the ducal party from
the platform with all possible haste, and
the section of the platform occupied few
minutes before by the president and his
party was turned into an harbor of refuge
for no less than &c sick or unconscious
women and children.

will be quite as much to the interest of
the people OF the District to have an

The Capital can hardly help being in

Everywhere at Once.

1t was great day for the rising genera
ton 1t seemed almost incredible that so
many children could be got together even
in Chicago, and the independent spirit of
young America was manifested in the fact
that most of the youngsters seemed to be
unaccOmpanied by their parents or older
persons. They swarmed through the big
buildings, got themselves tangled up in all
sorts of unexpected places and made the
lives of the Columbian guards miserable
from daylight to dark. They took the big
battleship by storm; they sacked the Con
vent of La Rabida, and they invaded the

that love was the perfection of knowledge.
At this point Of the lesson there were
many questions asked in regard 10 the re-
lglous ceremOnials. Mrs. Cooper said:
1--WE all need helps of one or from another.
The danger Is that We may lean on these
needed helps so loGg aud so heavily as to
become spiritual cripples. 1t is very
nice thing to know just when to take away
the crutches from one who has been cured
of long lameness. Paul lived in a
time OF grand transition. He had to deal
with a religious system that fairly bristled
with ordinances and ceremonials. A
transition was to be made toward some
degree of personal liberty. 1t was genu-
Inc problem in psychology how TO become
religious without These external per-
formances. How true it is that we may
feel far more console ntious in regard TO an
act which is visible than to the violation
of great principle which is invisible.
Consider other peoples consciences as well
as your own.
Do the thing that is kind Seek the glory
of God and the good of man. To glorify
God is to obey his laws in us. We cannot
make God glorious. We can honor him
through obedience. A parent is honored
by the filial obedience of bis children-not
by their running around and telling what
wonderful things those parents can do. In
all this there comes in the supreme ques-
tion of motives. Actions are external, but
motives are not. The closing thought of
the lesson was that strength ought to lend
itself to weakness; the rich to the poor
the great to the small; the good to the bad
for God make:h his sun to rise on the evil
and on the good, and sendeth his rain on
the just and on the unjust. If there is any
religion in US worth speaking OF we shall
stand by the side of every weak and suf-
ferlDg creature.
