FOR THE WOMEN.
Mrs. Potter Palmer Drives the Gold Nail

in the Woman's building.
Mrs. Potter Palmer, president of the
board of lady managers, welded the
solid hammer that sent the nail of gold
home, and is SO doing she made the fin
ishing stroke on the beautiful white
palace, which is the pride of American
women from one end of the country tc
the other. The exercises began with
the presentation of the Florida flag,
followed by the presentations of the
Connecticut room, Kentucky, California,
Cincinnati and New York rooms in the
order named, then the presentation Oh
the Knapp flag, after which the nail was
driven home. The swinging martial
chorus of the Battle Hymn OF the Re-
public" brought the meeting to a close.
The hundreds of ladies present sang
the grand old battle song with vim
and earnestness.
The golden nail which marks the
completion of the Woman's building at
the Exposition, required several weeks
of constant work to make. 1t is com.
posed of gold, silver and copper, and
a Montana sapphire is set in the upper
portion of the shield which is attached
to the nail near the head. The nail
itself is pure copper, silver and unal-
Logged gold and rests in slide back of
the coat of arms and shield of Mon
tana, which is in the form of brooch.
The shield is a perfect model of the
Montana state seal. The nail was i'm
mediately withdrawn and presented to
Mrs. Palmer.

stole Columbus Ashes.

An attempt was made to steal the
ashes of Columbus. Since its arrival
at the Worlds Fair the golden bound
urn has been viewed by thousands and
one of the visitors secreted himself
somewhere in the room until night.
Janitor Dunno before retiring started
for drink of water. Upon reaching
the corridor he heard a slight noise in
room X and went there 20 investigate.
When he reached the open door he saw
a man walk from the Columbus urn
TO the window. AS the unknown man
thrust the urn beneath his coat and to-
ward his pocket, Janitor Dunno
shouted, drop thatv" The thief did
not drop the urn but made a rush for
the door. Before he reached it Dunno
seized him and together the two men
rolled upon the floor. The urn was
dropped during the conflict The men
fought vigorously for the mastery for
several minutes, but finally the thief,
loosened from the janitor's grip, jumped
to his feet bounded out of the door and
made his escape. But he left the little
box of sacred ashes behind.

should come out of the national river

The Michigan building compares
favorably with those of sister states.

ton of two of the finest avenues. 1t

three stories in height and is intended
mainly as a comfortable and conven-
lent. hobre3o Michigan visitors. The
first floor Is devoted to the use of visit
ors, the second contains three large eX-
hibit rooms, one of which will be ar
ranged for meetings, lectures, concerts
or, social Entertainments. The third
floor is arranged for sleeplng-rooms for
employees The gentlemen's reception
room; 43x37 feet, on the first floor, is
finished and decorated by the city of
Saginaw at an expense of $1,000, and
the gentlemens reading-room, size
26X34 feet on the same floor, is fin
ished by the city of Muskegon at cost
of about 81, 500. The ladies' parlor,
size 33x42 feet, also on the principal
floor, is fitted and furnished by the city
of Grand Rapids at an approximate
outlay of not less than $4,000.
The exhibits in the state building do
the state full justice and a brief des-
cription could not convey an adequate
idea of their appearance. Suffice TO
say that no citizen of Michigan can
feel that the commissioners have been
lax in their duties to the state.

STICK TO TIT. POINT.

OS,. Louis i;epublic: Statutes for using
federal marshals at the polls were not
passed to secure fair elections but 10
take control from state and loca! author
tiles.
The difference between those who
would put the administration of elections
under the federal Jurisdiction and those
who would leave it to the p ople who
know the candidates and whose interests
are to be represented is the everlasting
difference between the liberty of repre-
sentative government and the tyranny
of centralized government.
Opponents of repeal in the house de-
bate cannot seriously pretend that cleo
tons were fair in the states which were
under absolute federal domination dur.
ing the wal and reconstruction period.
No state control has ever permitted the
flagrant outrages upon the rights of
voters which were universal in that
time.
Federal Intervention in state elections
does not conduce to justice in fairness.
The record is against it. And fair cleo
tons are not the basis of the opposition
to repeal. On the contrary, it is the ex.
perience Of the world that fair represent
alton for a people can only be obtained
when the Locality which elects controls
its elections. The presumption of fair
ness is therefore on the side of absolute
separation Of elections from centralized
interference.
III the people are to govern and all
interests arc to be correctly represented
the federal power must remain the
creature and agent, not the dictator, of
elections.
This is the reality Of the house debate
on marshals at the polls.

ITALIAN SILVER FAMINE.

Italy is suffering from a silver famine
in that the metal has almost entirsly
disappeared from circulation and the
people are res0rting to all kinds oil
schemes to fill the demand for subsidiary
coin. 1t demonstrates what a blessing
the white metal is in the ordinary usages
Of money especially to the poorer classes.
The following from Especial cable message
published in last Sundays Chicago Her
aid, a rabid gold bug sheet, shows how
d%eplorable the condition is in Italy be-
cause of the scarcity of silver. In a cold
blooded manner it suggests war as the
only possible solution OF the difficulty.
The most bigoted gold bug ought to feel
for those poor unfortunates who arc SO
completely in the grasp of the gold trust:
The fact should be recognized that It.
ally is an extremely dangerous element
in the present situation. The country is
in a pitiable condition. Things are so
bad that a catastrophe of violent nature
is inevitable un!ess relief comes speedily.
Silver disappeared from ordinary cir
culation months ago and even copper Is
now vanishing. The premium on silver
coin is now 10 per cent and on copper .
per cent. Even in postofiices it is i'm
possible to obtain change when buying
stamps. Church goers adopted the
practice of putting in sous and reieem-
ing them when they reach the amount
Of the smallest bank note.
The money famine will not be tolerated
much longer, and it is openly asserted
that there is only one desperate resource
which can save the present government.
If the idea OF war becomes tolerable to
Italians, as it already is to the French,
the situation could hardly be more
Ominous. The great factor for peace is
the course Of the financial power in the
different countries. This power was
never stronger in Europe except in It.
