President cIeyel ana,s sp,ec,.

1t was now the turn of the president
to present himself, and as lie slowly
rose from his seat he swept his eyes,
q st over the occupants of the platform,
and then over one of the greatest audi
cnces that ever man faced. There
went up a cheer that seemed to shake
the massive dome on the building be-
hind him and which reverberated
through the grounds like the rattling
of musketry. All the while Mr.. Clevc-
land stood erect, his left hand behind
him, his right pervously lingering the
button of his frocls coat. At last when
semblance of quiet had once more
come over the throng, he commenced

The French Gen. de Ricard relates
In his memoirs how lie publicly ans
nounced his patriotic sentiments when
he was child travelling with q nurse.
His father, who was royalist, had
been a naval officer Mt the port OF Tou..
Ion and after Toulon had yielded u
the republican army he had emigrxtsd
to Spain. ~ 4
After passing some months Ia Spain
NJ. de Ricard ventured to return To-
France with his wife and their littls,
son and Spanish friend. Political;
feeling was still strong in the country
and royalist emigrants were not we'll
treated. were not even out OF danger
Of imprisonment.
The Ricard party took great precau.
tions to conceal the fact that they
were returning en.igrants, but nj. do
Ricard was impulsive and could harIly,
refrain from joining in the vehement
discussions that were carried on and
expressing his opinions.
One day the siege of Toulon was,
spoken OF. Ono Of the travellers dining
at the table had been in the republican
army at the siege and boasted OF rams
sacking several houses himself.
4 destroyed everything in the house
of the official De Ricard,a he said. Il
threw his glassware out of; the win-
dows, broke the furniture and burned
nil the house linen. It was magrif-;
cent! If that emigrant has ever gone
back to his home how delighted ho
must have been!"
M. de Ricard declared that such cor-i
duct was despicable. A vio' mt. dis
cussion began. Nine. de Ricard and.
the Spaniard were terribly frightened.
They feared that this was not a coin-
cidence, but a trap of an agent Of the
police.
At that moment, by some happy In.
spiration, the little De Ricard seized
his glass and shouted: 40 the health
of the republic, ono and undivided!s
Then he jumped on a chnir aud sang
at the toptof his voice, Gallons. enfants
de la patrie!"
Every one joined in the aMarseill-
aisc," the national song, and no ono
suspected that the father Of such res
publican small boy could he a royalist.

An interesting Civil Suit.

SIOUX FALLS, s. D., May 4.--The
Sioux Falls. Improvement company is
the defendant in an interesting civil
suit now on trial here, In 1890 the
company gave notes aggregating
$4,000 in consideration of certain
patent machinery which was to have
been shipped from Chicago to fit up the
chain nortising works. The notes ran
to A, T.. Geer, of Chicago, and were put
in escrow with D. NJ. Hills. When
the machinery came it was not as
represented and was rejected. Mean
while the notes were sold to the plain
tiff, who represents that he is an ;nno-
cent purchaser The defense is that
there was no value received and that
some one has forged q material change
on the Endorsement. On the back of
the note are the names of G. w. Ward.
o. A. Hayward and j. b. Watson, all
responsible signatures. These in
dorsers claim that they signed a para:
graph which began: "We5 hereby
agree" etc. As the note now stands
the names are attached to a paragraph
which begins II hereby agree" etc.
The United States court held that these
changes We're material and threw the
case out of court All of the remain
ing notes, amounting to $4,000 have
been gathered in without considera.

A Busy and Successful Man.

It is better to be at the head OF aj
commonplace calling than at the tail;
of a distinguished one. A tiptop1
auctioncer, for instance, has good
deal better hold on success than a low-
grade lawyer or doctor. 1t is said
that an East Buffalo auctioneer, who
lately broke the record by selling 345
horses in one day from one auction
block, receives $500 year tor two.
days work i'll each week at East Buff
falo. This is $3.50 week or $75 a day.
The same man receives 5000 a year,
for two days work in Philadelphia.
and because he can't stand any moro
travel he has refused $4,000 a year to
add to his labors one day in the week
at Chicago. Thursdays he has to him-
gelf, and that day he runs a horse anc.
tion of his own in Richmond, Va. He
seems to be type of the busy and
successful man. How many Buffalo
doctors and lawyers are doing as wellp

Higgnbotham Appeals to the Crowd.
WORLDS FAIR, CHICAGO, May a.
No sooner had the opening ceremonies
commenced than the bad police ar
engagements were shown in an lnfortu-
nate manner for many people. A
handful of Columbian guards had been
detailed for duty to keep the inside
border OF the mass of humanity from
encroaching on the press seats which
We're arranged below the grand stand
on either side. Not even rope was
strung along the line of the grand
stand to keep u passage way clear for
the newspaper men and ambulance
corps. The pushing and crowding at
the northeast end of the administration
building soon became so severe that
many women tainted while others be-
came SO sick that they had to be lifted
bodily over the railing into the press
seats. The police mingled with the
guards and endeavorcd to quiet the ex-
cited, swaying mass within bounds of
personal safety. The crowd in attend
ance was variously estimated at 100000
to 1T5,O0O. Before the ceremonies
were half over twenty women
and half as many men had
been removed to tho hospital. A mum.
ber were suffering from internal injuries
received in the jam and it was feared
that fatal termination might ensue.
President Higginbotham realized the
gravity Of the situation and while the
orchestra was playing he arose from
his seat advanced to the edge of tile
platform and raised his hands above his
head in mute appeal to the assembled
thousands. He cried out ut the top of
his voice, stFor Gods sake keep cool!'
But his words We're not heard far. His
appeal had a salutary effect, however,
rs the center and rear of the wedged-in
mass refrained from pushing toward
the frail bars. During several minutes
it looked as though horrible catastro-
phe could not be avertcd With tho
view of facilitating the disposal of
the throng President Higgin-
botham escorted Mr.. Cleveland and
the ducal party from the plat
form with all possible haste,
but this did not suit the temper of the
spectators and they yelled Como
back ''lVe want to see more of the
president. Finally by breaking into
the throng from a half dozen points
the guards succeeded in turning them
into half as many channels. but not
before the section of the platform oc.
cup:ed few moments before by the
president and his party had been
turned into harbor of refuge for no
less than twenty-siX sick or unconscious
women and children.

EIGHT HUNDRED men KILLED
Bloody Battle in Rio Grande do
Sui, Brazil.

Bile at Present. New Re.
public in Turmoil.

VALPARAISO, Chile, via Galveston,
Tex, May 4.-News of the bloodiest
battle which has been fought since the
revolution began III Rio Grande do Sui,
Brazil, has just reached here via
Buenos Ayres. The engagement was
fought near San Luis. General Terres
led the government forces and General
Tavarez commanded the revolutionary
army. Details of the battle have not
yet been obtained, owing to imperfect
telegraph service from the section
where the engagement took place, but
1t is reported tha. 500 men We're killed.
These We're divided nearly equally be-
tween the two armies. Victory is
claimed for each side, and the actual
result of the fight may not be known
for several days.
Dissatisfaction with the government
of Brazil is extending to other sections
than Rio Grande do Sui. Brazilians
who have rccantly arrived in Buenos
Ayres state that there is great uneasi-
ness in Pernambuco and other states,
and that revolutionary outbreaks may
occur ut any moment. 1t is believed
In Buenos Ayres that the revolntionists
OF Rio Grande do Sui will soon abandon
the siege of Uruguayana. The town is
SO well protected by gunboats that its
capture seems now to pbe impossible.
Troops We're sent dowts by the general
government, and Castilhista forces have
been sent to the frontier to reinforce
the three regiments stationed there by
the Uruguay government to guard the
latter's territory from raids by the
brazilian revolutionists. Small
bodies of revolutionists have
been disarmed near the frontier by
Uruguay troops. Troops belonging to
the national guard of Brazil invaded
Uruguay territory ut Garpinteris. They
killed the chief of police and stole
money. cattle and horses. The official
in charge of the town has asked the
government at Montevideo for assist
nnce. 1t is reported from u trust
worthy source that Admiral Nandel-
hollS, who commands four of the gum
boats sent down from Rio de Janeiro,
is in constant communication with Sill
veira Martins, the active leader of the
revolution. 1t is expected that the en-
tire squadron will go over to the revo-
lutionists. Should this report be we'll
founded it would materially change the
situation SO far as it concerns the pros
| poets for the success of the revolutions
| lists.

As the president was concluding The
hnal sentence his eyes wandered to the
table that was close Mt his left hand.
Upon this was the button the pres
sure upon which was to start
the machinery and make the
opening an accomplished fact. It
was the ordinary form of Victor tele-
graph key in use in most telegraph Of
ticcs except that 1t was of gold instead
of steel with a button of ivory instead
OF bone. 1t rested upon n pedestal up
holstered in navy blue and golden yel-
low plush, and on the sides of the
lower tier, in silver letters were the
significant dates, 14D2 and 1893. As
the last words fell from the presidents
lips he pressed his finger upon the butt
ton. This was the signal for demon
stfation--a series of demonstrations, in
fact, difficult of imagination, and in
Rnitely more so of description. At one
an the same instant tho audience burst
into a thundering shoatand the orches-
tra pealed forth the strains of the
"Halleluiahs chorus, the wheels of the
great Allls engine in machinery hall
commenced to reyolve, the electric
fountain in the lagoon threw their tor
rents toward the sky, flood Of
water gushed from the McMonnies
fountain and rolled back again into the
basin. A thunder of artillery came
from the vessels in the lake, the chimes
in manufacturers hall and on the Ger
man building rang out merry peal,
and overhead the flags at the tops Of
the poles in front of the platform fell
apart and revealed two gilded models
of the ships in which Columbus first
sailed to American shores. AT the same
moment also 1000 flags, of all nations
and all colors, We're unfurled within
sight of the platform. The largest was
a great "old glory which fell into
graceful folds from the top of the center
staff in front of the stand. 1t

played .'America," and tho exercises
We're ut an end.

to the nations of the world.
1t was precisely 1905 p. IN. when
Grover Cleveland touched the button
and thus declared tho opening an ac-

In the crou ,eIs,

Il
Less than an hour had been occupied
in the journey from the starting point
and the triumphant entry into the
great white city was now in order. AS
the head of the column emerged from
Midway plaisance it was met by a
detachment of tho Columbian guard,
accompanied by Colonel Rice and his
staff, and who from this point took. the
right OF line. Slowly the procession
moved around the woinen's building.
then south again past the horticultural
building and the lagoon encompassing
the wooded island, on past the choral
hall and the beautiful structure de-
voted to mines and mining. Here it
veered to the east and described zig
gag course to the west door of the adj
ministtation building. Two platoons
OF cavalry had meanwhile drawn up
between this structure and the
terminal station and between
these passed the guests as they ali
alighted from their carriages. Again
the procession reformed and now
emerging from the eastern entrance
moved toward the platform from which
informal ceremonies We're to be CON
