Pageant-Mrs. Logan Gives n

Chicago, July 23.-Thursday the Gen.
ter of the west was a little mound In
Lake Front park. Past its base for
hour after hour swept rank after rank
of men who had been defenders of their
country throughout days which are at
once the brightest and the darkest in
its history-rank after rank of fighting
men of to-day-and rank after rank of
boys who are to be the soldiers of the
future. From three o'clock until six.
the broad eXpanse of Michigan avenue
was swept from curb to curb by a
marching host. From end to end it was

X. q. Dun & Co., in their weekly re-
view of trade, say:
THE end of uncertainty regarding duties
on imports gives greater alike 10
those who have opposed and those who
have favored the change. The great
strength In stocks. particularly in those
of the granger list, reflects assurance of
heavy crops. The remarkable rise In
wheat. Notwithstanding that assurance,
is based on heavy buying for export and
belief that foreign demands will be large.
To these must be added another element
of confidence scarcely observed a week
ago. The heavy increase in receipts OF
gold. whether from one side OF the Alaska
border or the other. swell deposits at the
mints and in the banks of this country,
and If the yield from new regions answers
current expectations, II may have an in
huence akin to that Of the gold discoveries

The saIutcs Fired.
A feature of great interest in the eel
cbration was the firing of salutes. AT
the moment when little John A. Logan,
grandson of the general. pulled the line
which threw aside the draped flags, a
salute of 13 guns was fired, the army
leading with boom of cannon, the
revenue cutter Gresham following, and
shore batteries then alternating with
government boats till the significant
13 had been counted. The second salute
came as Gen. Brooke gave the command
TO march and the great parade started
north in Michigan avenue.

BEES IN BATTLE,

The Contest as Viewed by Spectator at
Safe Distance.
The movements of the combatants are
so rapid in battle that it is difficult to
follow them through all of their evolu-
tions, but the plan Of battle seems to be
very simple, says The Chautauquan.
Two bees from the hive are sent to kill
one intruder, and the latter always tries
to force all entrance, even at the risk Of
it's life Once inside, it makes room for
others Of it's companions to enter and
then, gathering up it's abdomen in as
small a space as possible, it assumes the
defensive Two of the hive bees pounce
upon it and collaring it fercely they
seek to find vulnerable point between
the rings Of its body to sting it to death.
The attacking bee just as determinedly
struggles to cover every unprotected
spot. If sufficient time can be gained
and the attacking swarm is large enough
to force an entrance the badly mauled
bees that have not been stung to death
will suddenly assume the offensive and
pursue the tactics Of their enemies. The
contortions and evolutions of the vari-
Gus fighters are interesting to the OBJ
server
Should the battle go against the at
tacking body, the balance Of the swarm
flies away to seek safety, and the dead
carcasses Of their companions are thrown
contemptuously out of the hive.
But in the event Of an opposite ter
mination of the struggle the poor in
habitants are slaughtered. When their
fate has been practically decided, many
Of them turn traitors to their cause,
and in order to save their own lives
they join the forces of the attacking
party and display great vigor in killing
their former companions. But there is
honest patriotism even among bees In
every hive there are some who fight to
the last and prolong the struggle for
hours.
