Public Gaze.

to See the Magnificent
Work Of Art.
Ada Rehan, From Whom the
Statue Is Modelled, De-
clined to Attend.
Decoration Day Attendance
the Largest Since the
Opening Day.

CHICAGO, May sO.-Montana's solid
silver statue of Justice was un-
yelled in the mines and mining build
ing today. 1t IS the statue for which
Ada Rehan, the actress, sat as the
model. The unveiling was the
event of the day at the White
City, and the great building in which
the statue stands was thronged with
people eager to see the magnificent
work of art. While the crowd was as
sembling, the Cincinnati band played
number of national airs. The
opening address was made by Maj.
Martin Maglnnis, of Montana, who
spoke in glowing terms of the brilliant
future before that territory, of her up-
told wealth, of the enterprise of
her citizens, and of her wonderful nat
ural resources. When he had finished
Mrs. Richards, of Montana, stepped
forward a little from the crowd, and
taking up small Silken cord, gave it
gentle pull, and the stars and stripes
which had embodied the silver image
of Justice fell away and exposed
the statue for the first time to
the public gaze. The crowd gave
vent to wild cheers, while the band
played America" When the applause
had died away Hon. j. M. Quinn, editor
of the Bate Miner, made the closing
address. He spoke of

of how it came to be made and how it
represented the wealth, the enterprise
and artistic tastes of the citizens of that
far-aWay state. At the close of the eX-
ercises, the Montana commissioners en-
tertained their friends and number of
exposition officials and representatives
of foreign nations at luncheon. The
statue is the largest silver figure in
the world. 1t is about twelve feet
high, and is the lifelike figure
of woman poised on large globe,
which rests on the outstretched wings
of gigantic eagle. The silver, which
amounts to 1851 pounds, was furnished
by two Montana citizens-W. A. Clark,
of Butte. and ex-Gov. S. L. Hauser.
Miss Ada Rehan, the model of the
statue, was invited and urgently re-
quested to be present. However, the
famous actress did not come, objecting
on the ground that she would be
an object of curiosity and comparison.
She has deferred her visit to more
opportune time. Gov. Richards was
not present, being detained III Montana
by duty connected with the location of
state educational institutions. With
the unveiling of the statue the
Montana mining exhibit was opened
for public inspection. 1t con-
tains some handsome collections
of silver crystals, rich silver and gold

and nuggets is expected to arrive in a

EAU CLAIRE. Wis, May 80. Before
an immense audience in the opera
house this afternoon ex-senator John
c. Spooner delivered an eloquent
memorial address. Towards the close
OF his remarks decidedly sensational
incident occurred. An old soldier,
wearing a uniform of the G. A. R.,
arose in his seat and interrupted Col.
Spooner, asking him if it was true, and
if so why a New York Grand Army
post had been mustered out of the
Grand Army of the Republic. Col.
Spooner flashed areply that was startling
in substance and brevity. He said: "The
post in question has been mustered out
for its pronounced hostility to pensions.
and this could only happen in city like
New York, on the Atlantic, surrounded
by money and amid the dangers of the
influence of foreign wealth; city that
had to call upon the whole country to
help raise monument to Grant; city
whose commercial surroundings had so
influenced an army post that it was no
longer worthy Of fraternizing with the
Grand Army of the Republic"

Columbia club, at 9:4915. A bright day,
gentle breeze and dry roads pade the
race the most successful of the series of
seven yet run. About 300 Wheelmen
participated, and the crowds of spectators
at The start and finish WSre faI up III the
thousands. AS the course has been
changed since last year, comparison is
difficult with preceding records. An in
cident resulted directly i'll J.F. Gunther,
a black horse from the Lincoln Cycling
club, losing the race all but well won.
Gunther was leading Nelson by about
four wheel lengths when he was seen to

shouted, but Gunther leaped from his
wheel, thinking he had crossed the line.
Before he realized that the tape was two
rods further on, Nelson whisked by and
captured first place. Gunther was mo.
toned to by Trainer Stockpole, and
thought he was beckoned to alight. In
stead the trainer was waving his nand

The greatest surprise of the day came
when the judges, after several hours Of
figuring, announced Martin Nessell, of
the Columbia club, the time winner.
The time was officially declared to be

EXCHANGED OPINIONS.
The Pension Question Causes a
Sensational Incident.

CHICAGO, May 30.-Memorial day ex-
ercises at the art institute tonight
were rendered sensational by an ex-
change of opinions Oh the pension ques-
tion between Gen. John G. Black, ex-
United States pension commissioner,
and Maj. William Warner, of Kansas
City. past grand commander of the
Grand Army of the Republic.
Maj. Warner spoke first, and in touch
ing upon the pension question said that
the men who were the friends OF the
soldier, and WHO had enacted the pen
sion laws, could be relied upon
to deal justly with the pension
matters, and that it belonged to the
friends of the soldiers and to no one
else to remedy the evils which may
have crept into the pension system.
Gen. Black, who sat upon the stage,
grew uneasy while Maj. Warner was
talking, and when his turn to speak
came he said:
1.-The pension rolls are polluted with
the names of towards, daserters and i'm
posters, and no true soldier of 1861 to
1865 would object to measures calcu-
lated to remove the disgrace"
Both sneakers were wildly applauded.

will endeavor to find pinhead secreted
in some obscure corner in Wind cave,
near Hot Springs. He will be blind
folded. The cave has been explored
over sixty miles. Beyond that people
are afraid to venture. The passages
are difficult and dangerous. There are
places where passages go over thirty
five-foot precipice. Other places 1T is
necessary to crawl on hands and knees
through holes. The trip will be attended
with great dangers. Washington Irving
Bishops feat of reading names on a
hotel register cannot compare with this
feat which Johnstone will attempt. A
committee of most prominent men OF
Hot Springs will accompany him to pre-
vent fraud. The authorities have at
tempted to deter Jonstone from attempt
ing the feat, but he persists. Friday is
the date set for the test. He thinks it
will consume two days to find the pin
head. When he finds it he will board a
train to Chicago direct, without remov-
ing the bllndfold, and deliver the article
to the Psychological society at Chicago.
