people began 10 gather early and by the time

The first touch OF magic given the night set

strips OF light which sprang TO life on all parts
of administration building The entire structure
was gilded with seams Of light running around

The effect was one of surprising beauty and
was created with great applause. Much disap-

The opening exercises were followed
by tour of inspection of the buildings
and grounds and general rejoicing.
Later in the day the formal opening of
the Woman's building took place, pre-
sided over by Mrs Potter Palmer, at
which were present the leading spirits
of the enterprise and many foreign
notables. On the afternoon of Satur-
day. April 80, at four o'clock the last
nail was driven in the building by Mrs.
Palmer, the nail being of gold and the
hammer of silver, and an elaborate pro-
gramme was carried out. The women
are very proud of their achievements in
the great enterprise, and well they may
be, for they were the first to build,
their building being nearly completed
before many of the others We're started,
and their exhibits are the nearest to
completion of any at the fair. Much
credit is due Mrs. Palmer, who has so
ably directed the movements of her sis
ter labOrers and so nobly filled the eX-
allied office to which she was called.
Now that the worlds fair season has
fairly begun there will doubtless be a
large influx to our population, but as

vet there is not much perceptible in
crease. Every fine day since visitors
were first admitted to the fair grounds
the South side car lines have done
great business, and since the arrival of
the strange people from distant lands
in Midway Plaisance, there has been a
perpetual outpour of people in that di-
rection. On Sundays the crowds at
Jackson park have been especially
large. the tickets taken at the gates

ent time there has been no difficulty in

and it is the opinion of railway and
street car officials, hotel keepers, lead
ing merchants and all who have given
the matter any attention that at no
time during the fair will there be any
inconvenience felt by visitors or resi-
dents of the city.

Nonsense About Tomatoes.

An idea has gained currency during
the past few years that the tomato as
an article of diet is liable to produce OF
encourage the terrible disease of cam
Ger, and not long ago it was also stated
that the use of this vegetable had been
forbidden at the Cancer hospital. SO
widely spread has this notion become
that DIR. Marsden, chairman of the
medical committee of the Cancer hospi-
tai, London, has thought it advisable
to give it official contradiction. He
says that his committee has been mum
dated with letters on this subject, and
he begs publication for the following
statement, which we hope viii settle
the matter once for all. 1t is the opin-
ion of the committee that tomatoes
neither predispose to nor excite cancer
formation, and that they are not in.

ease, but, on the contrary, are very
wholesome article of diet, particularly
SO if cooked. "-Chambers Journal

declared by Gov. Altgeld legal holi
day, and there was u great rush for
the fair grounds.
The exercises before the Administra-
ton building were witnessed by an i'm
mense concourse of people, prominent
among whom were the high dignitaries
of the United States. The scene was
one never to be forgotten by those who
were present and one not easily de-
scribed. The immense plaza and all
the approaches thereto were densely
packed with people of all conditions of
life and every race under the sun. The
lagoon was alive with launches and
gondolas, all gay with flags and colors,
and all the buildings were handsomely
declled with banners and streamers of
every description.
The programme of exercises as pre-
pared some time ago was carried out,
Director General George Il. Davis max
ing the Introductory address and being
followed by President Cleveland. who
in a stirring speech of some length de-
clared the great fair opened. Other
speeches followed by worlds fair Off

being the duke de Veragua, Il descend

But Chicago pluck has overcome all OBJ
stacles, and in spite of all drawbacks
the day set for the opening found the
great exposition in sufficiently pre-
sentable shape to receive all visitors.
1t cannot be said that the fair is COM
pleted. There is much to be done yet,
in the way of placing exhibits and add
ing details, but the buildings are near
ly all completed and in few weeks
everything will be thoroughly settled
and the great fair will be in full blast.
The buildings of the different states are
in better shape for visitors now than are
the fair buildings proper, and among
them are some which are veritable
palaces. The buildings of foreign
nations are also very well along
toward completion and but a
few touches remain to be added
to place them in readiness for the re-
ception of the people whose countries
they represent.
The whole city has been in hutter
of excitement for several days. Many
of the large business buildings are
decorated and a general holiday feel
ing seems to have taken possession of
the people. Very little business was
transacted on the opening day, it being

of Madrid as a lawyer, became affili-
ated with the liberal party, and in 1871
was elected as the representative of
Arevallo in the cortes. In 1874 he be-
came a member of the municipal coun-
ell of Madrid, but soon resigned his
Office On account of n change in the
government and devoted himself to ag-
riculture and cattle breeding. He has
since held many public Offices, includ-
ing that of the minister of the interior,
vice president of the senate, councillor
of the Monte de Pedal and royal com
missioner of agriculture. He is, COM
raratively speaking, rich man, and is
highly respected throughout Spain. He
now holds the Office of chief of the
Spanish worlds fair commissioners.
since his arrival in this country he has
received much attention from New
York society and has been presented
