THE PRESIDENTS ADDRESS.
The Worlds Fair Formally Opened
by President Cleveland His Talk
Brief but to the Point.

When President Cleveland arose
foreigners and natives alike joined in
the acclaim to the highest representa-
tive OF the sovereign people of the re-
public. There was futter of white
handkerchiefs from the ladies' side Of
the platform, and instantly it was
taken up by the thousands of the sex
that occupied the gondolas and
launches on the water far in the dis
tance. At last, when throats and
arms alike were tired, and semblance
Of quiet had once more come over the
throng he commenced his address.
He said:
81 am here to join my fellow citi-
zens in the congratulations which befit
this occasion. Surrounded by the
stupendous results of American en-
terprise and activity, and in view of
the magnificent evidences of American
skill and intelligence we need not fear
that these congratulations will be ex-
aggerated. We stand oday in the
presence of the oldest nations of the
world and point to the great achieve
ments we here exhibit, asking no al
lowance on the score of youth.
"The enthusiasm with which we
contemplate our work intensfies the
warmth of the greeting we extend to
those who have come from foreign
lands to illustrate with us the growth
and progress of human endeavor in
the direction of higher civilization.
"We who believe that popular edu-
cation and the stimulation of the best
impulses Of our citizens lead the way
to realization of the proud national
destiny which our faith promises gladly
welcome the opportunity here afforded
us to see the results accomplished by
efforts which have been exerted lon ger
than ours in the field of man S improve
ments, while in appreciative return
we exhibit the unparalleled advance
ment and wonderful accomplishments
of young nation and present the
triumphs of vigorous, seli-reliant and
independent people. We have built
these splendid edifces, but we have
also built the magnificent fabric Of a
popular government, whose grand
proportions are seen throughout the
world. We have made and here gather
together objects of use and beauty,
the products of American skill and
invention, but we have also made men
who rule themselves
{" 1t IS an exalted mission in which
we and our guests from other lands
are engaged, as we cooperate in the
Inauguration of an enterprise devoted
to human enlightenment, and in the
undertaking we here enter upon we
exemplify in the noblest sense the
brotherhood of nations.
"Let us hold fast to the meaning
that underlies this ceremony, and LEI
us not lose the impressiveness Of thi:
moment. AS by touch the machinery
that gives life to this vast exposition is
now set in motion, so at the same in
slant let our hopes and aspiration:
awaken forces which in all time tt
come shall influence the welfare, The
dignity and the freedom OF mankind.

Was He Buried Alive

Last week, in order that a certain
lot in the cemetery might be cleared
and arranged for the interment of a
body, it became necessary to exhume
two corpses that were buried there.
One Of them was the scout, member
of Capt, Ashby's Company which
encamped near Clinton. While here
he sickened and died and his remains
were inferred in the cemetery. When
his grave was opened last week, it was
found that the pillow which had been
placed i'll the casket was in perfect
condition but the strangest thing was
the position of the corpse which was
lying face downward.-Clin Dem

The Rel;.e,V ct Hepieus for May, without
pretending for moment to invade the
special domain of the elegantly illustrated
monthly magazines, may perhaps claim
to surpass any OF them in a certain
quality of original and timely interest
in its pictures. 1t contains, all told
about one hundred illustrations. They
pertain to the Worlds Fair, to the naval
review, to the fiag-raising on the Nave

tees, including perhaps a dozen of the
most important new foreign ministers
and the principal commissioners and

WINSTON AND DURHAM.
The Largest Tobacco Markets in
North Carolina

A Raleigh correspondent reviews
the industries and products Of North
Carolina, and sets forth its wonderful
In the article the fol-
lowing is said regarding tobacco:
But the capstone Of this industrial
pyramid is the tobacco industry, which
far exceeds that of any State in the
Union. There are II2 chewing tobac-
co factories, nearly half OF which are
located in the city Of Winston. There
are only ten smoking tobacco factories,
but one of these, the " Bull Durham
is the largest in the world. The town
of Durham last year sold II,ooo,o 900
pounds of smoking tobacco, four hfths
OF which was made by the Bull Dur
ham factory. All the tobacco used
for both cewing and smoking is grown
in this State, and great deal more
besides, which is shipped to outside
factories. Durham and Winston pays
over s1,ooo,ooo year for revenue
stamps.
These are the two principal tobacco
towns, but there are number ol
smaller markets where the weed is
largely handled, such as Reidsville
Oxford; Henderson, Greensboro, Raj
eigh, Asheviile, Salisbury and othe,
towns, in all of which there are tobac-
co warehouses and factories,

How to Dress The Baby-The Nurse,

Quite all Innovation in Servants

because only foreign nurse will
allow herself to be dressed in anything
like uniform, and of course a swell
nurse must wear distinctive dress.
Quite the most correct thing is a serge
or beige gown of dark brown or dark
blue. A very fine and stiff white
apron covers all of the skirt not hid
den by the big cloak. The latter is a
round cape affair reaching to the hem
of the dress, and of material and color

and collar of cloth of darker
shade. The nurses hair is combed
straight back from the forehead
imagine native nurse submitting to
that and on her head is big, very
white and very stiff cap, with long
strings down the back. The baby
wears very long cloak of white
cashmere or silk, embroidered with a
fora! design in white silk. The cloak
has a round cape that comes down
half the length, and is edged with a
ruffie, also embroidered, of the silk or
cashmere. On baby's head is a won
derful fine hood and cap in one. The
hood is of white silk, and the cap
shows in front by lot Of very fine
lace ruf1es. 1t is tied under baby's
chin by white ribbons, and you find
baby somewhere between the cap and
the cloak, as nurse carries it aloft on
steady strong arms, SO that the beauti-
full cloak hangs straight and increased
to the full length of it. A baby car
riage is very bad form! Muscle,
foreign muscle, is the thing.
Jackets with velvet sleeves, and
three-quarter capes are displayed in
endless variety. Naturally, the favorite
purple is to be found wherever it is
possible to introduce it, and there are
mantles and sleeves of it galore. A
very pretty model is in petunia cloth,
three-quaTter length, with a deep cape
over the shoulders, and a collar OF
black plush, ornamented with jet, and
having cords and tassels of jet down
the back. Some Bengaline capes are
marvels of cheapness considering their
value and the stylish appearance they
lend. A few have intermediate
shoulder capes of mauve or green
velvet, and an edging of jet to finish
off the capes. Another model of the
same silk had a novel style of shoulder
cape of black velvet, which reached to
the waist. Some beautiful jet passe'

There will be no European tour ON BIZ

of Mr.. Frank A. Elwell of this city.
The attractions of the Worlds Fair
would make such an undertaking haz-
ardous of success. Instead, Mr.. Elwell
is arranging for a grand tour on this
side of the water among the wonders of
oar own country in the far West. Some
of the places to be visited are the won
derful Canyon of the Colorado, Southern
California, San Francisco and vicinity,
Salt Lake City, Denver, Colorado
Springs, etc. A special Pullman car
will be used for the railroad part of the
tour, which will necessarily be consider
able on account of the great distances
between attractive localities. The party
will be limited to twenty. The start
will be made from Buffalo April oath

WAS 1T A ROBBERY?
But Pays Howard Bros. the Money
Owed Tf,sm.

1t will be remembered that about a
fortnight ago Hebrew peddlar by the
name of Simon Dorfman or Dorfman,
who halls from Portland, claimed that,
he was assaulted by highway robbers in
Oxford county, between Gilead and
West Bethel and plundered.
Yesterday, MI Howard. of the firm Of
Howard Bros. of Welchville, othing
dealers, and Sheriff Wormell of Bethel,
arrived in town with Dorfman and went
to Dorfman's house, where that person
paid over to Mr. Howard the sum of $240
ond expenses, OF about $500 in all.
We are informed that when the re-
ported robbery occurred Mr.. Dorfman
claimed that he was approached by
man who W nted to look at overcoats,
and that Dorfman showed him some.
While exhibiting the goods confederate
of the mans threw pepper in Dorfman's
eyes and before he could get the use of
them, the two men robb. him of $240
money he had in his possession. The
men escaped and Dorfman went to
place called Masons, where he left the
wagon and goods. He then returned to
Portland and notified the Howard Bros.
of the affair.
When Howard heard the story he had
a suspicion all was not exactly as Dorf-
man would have him believe. He there
fore employed Wormell to look the mat
ter up. Dorfman told conflicting stories
to he sheriff. Further a well known re-
spectacle farmer came along close to
the time when the robbery was said to
have been committed and was just be-
hind Dorfman all the way to Mason's
and he neither saw any suspicious per-
sons or heard anything that would tend
to confirm Dorfman's story.
As result of Wormelrs Investigations
Dorfman was sent for by Howard and
when he arrived at Welchville, Wormeli
took him in charge and told him square
ly that he was satisfied no robbery had
taken place. Dorfman strongly disputed
Wormell and claimed sthat his original
story was true, but he agreed to refund
the money that Howard SBros. had lost.
So Messrs. Howard, Wormell and Dorf-
man came to Portland yesterday, as
stated and the money was passed over.
