How "a Panic Was Averted.

How "A Panic Whs Averted.
 It was unfortunate that this part of the days proceedings should have been marred by what might have been a serious panic, but what proved to be only momentary surge of the great mass of humanity which beat against the platform in front of the Administration building
 Officers sprang into the crowd, but it was some minutes before their efforts were successful and when the dense mass of people had been in some degree separated 20 per ons were taken out in a fainting condition. Fortunately, however, no one was seriously hurt and a great calamity was averted.
 After dinner the president wearily took up the line of march for the Manufacturers building where he did the courtesies to a throng of foreigners anu officials. Then he was hurried over to the Womans' building where he listened to the dedication speeches by Mrs. Potter Palmer and others. The Irish village next claimed his attention and after that he embarked in a naphtha launch and made n flying trip through the lagoons. Having thus made the grand tour of the exposition he was thoroughly tired out, and the rest of the time until his special train started for Washington was spent in his car chatting with friends and visitors who could pass the colored Cerbe- rus at the door.
 Meanwhile the great American public was having the full run Of the grounds for the first time, and was enjoying itself thoroughly The crowd did not mind the mud and from uoon till the last gate was closed the broad avenues were alive with throngs moving from one to another of the big buildings and sweeping through the Midway plaisance in an unbroken current.
 The Electrical Display.
 The splendors of last night outshone the llories of the day. Electricity was dis played in all it's brilliancy, and rivalled for supremacy the only gleam of monday sun that graced the opening ceremonies. The center of attraction was the Administra- tion building and its court of honor, and thither the masses flockcd in multitudes.
 The grounds bore a deserted appearance until nearly 6:3o. Notwithstanding the shilly air as the evening grew people began 10 gather and by the time darkness had .ncircled the whole city multitude filled the plaza from Administration building to | lhe peristyle.
 The first touch of magic given the night setting of the great scene was fringe of | lncandescent lights which surmounted the columns of the peristyle running from Music hall to the Casino. This was fol lowed a moment later by strips of light which sprang to life on all parts of the Ad- p''astration building. The entire struc- was gilded with seams of light run nin.s around the top of the pavilions and to the dome. The effect was one of sur passing beauty and was greeted with great applause. Much disappointment was felt later, when it was made known that the piece de resistance of the evenings dis play-ths Macmonies fountain--would not | bs illuminated. Its two companions were

silence gradually spread out over the sway ing, straining crowds, and hardly one of the many thousands present but realized how big was the moment about to come with historic events.
 So marked was the hush that the closing sentence of the presidents address, the larg- est part of which had been lost to all ex- cept the army of newspaper men who sat on either hand, were heard far out in the crowd.
 Then, just as the hands pointed to the hour, the president grasped the ivory knob of the telegraphic key of solid gold and pressed it down. The scene was s remark able one.
 When the Key Was Pressed.
 What the spectators saw first as a result of that pressure was the instant unfurling of thousands of flags on the fair buildings. From center to circumference of the park the stars and stripes broke forth and hut- tered in the breeze as if by magic-not alone Old Glory, but flags of all shapes and colors. Huge streamers of red white and blue, fantastic banners and pennants of many hues unrolled and enlightened out. But Old Glory predominated. It al- most seemed as if the sky was blazing with fires that caught their tints from the pa triotic spirit of the day.
 The next thing the crowd saw was the springing into life of the big fountain in front of the Administration building.
 The first thing to be heard was the boom ing of the cannon from the revenue cutter Andrew Johnson, for as soon as the gum ners saw the flags break out they began firing the national salute of 21 guns. Then came the cheers. The people seemed to have gone wild sud they shouted and hurrahed in frenzy of enthusiasm. When the cheers died down came the low but penetrating hum of wheels, which

Nor only has the Chicago police

signs of a literary awakening among

Capt. Bynre would have said: This

Is good. "Loathsome and pestilen-

Prof. Henry A. Hazen, expert mete-

proposes first to make a thorough
study Of upper air currents by means
OF series Of balloon ascensions. BY
this method he expects to solve the
question whether there are stable
high altitude currents, as is generally
believed'by persons who have studied
the subject. Prof. Hazen's plan for
air transit is not novel, like that of
his friend, Prof. Langley, secretary of
the Smithsonian Institution. The lat.
tor is constructing an air craft on
the propeller plan, which is to act
independently of air currents Prof.

In the death Of Lucy Stone the
cause of woman, in all its branches.
has sustained a loss. She was not
simply suffragist, but she sought in
every way equal justice for women.
Nurtured in typical New England
family she early resolved to devote
her life to the removal of the disa.
bilities Of her sex, and she never
once wavered in loyalty to that
cause. Carrying her principle to it's
utmost logical verge, she retained
her maiden name in marriage. She
maintained that her husband could
with equal fairness take her name as
she his. In this and in everything
husband and wife were agreed, and.
although she became the wife of Mr..
Blackwell and the mother OF children
taking the name of Blackwell, she
always remained Lucy Stone. We
know of no other case. But she was.
with all her radicalism, a model of
the domestic graces.

IT is curious thing that two re-
publics - France and the United
States-should be the only really
warm friends that Russia, the DIES.
potism, can count. The friendship
of France and Russia is plant of
hasty growth, and springs from the
soil OF politics, but the recent ovation
to the Russian fleet shows that both
sides are sincerely in love. AS for
the United States, the obligation
dates back to the civil war, when a
Russian squadron, OPPORTUNITY dis
patched to our shores, in all prob
ability saved the Union by its mere
presence-fOr it did not fire a gun;
did not even make warlike DEM
onstration. The people of this coun-
try have never forgotten the good
offices Of the Bear, and a certain fond
ness for the land of the Gear has te-
come traditional. II the Russians
shall be able to inspire the French
with like lasting regard they will
have two powerful friends The
great republics, both flying the red,
white and blue, are allies not to be
despised either in peace or in war,
and as In both cases the friendship is
OF the people rather than of cabinet
ministers there will be no fear of
broken treaties or perjured alliances.
