They owe it to the good name of the

In the discharge of manifest duty

FALL FESTIVAL.
Chicago's Celebration Opened Aus
piciously Last Night.

CHICAGO, October 4.-With music,
streams of light and patriotic enthusi-
asm, Chicago's fall festival was for
mally opened this evening, in the pres
ence of a vast throng. At 6 o'clock the
cords binding the banners lining both
sides of the court of honor were cut
and $4,000 yards of red and white
bunting were released. Ten minutes
later the festoons connecting the vene-
tan masts decorated with II 900 mean
descent bulbs, were glowing with light,
and State street. between Van Buren,
and Lake streets, presented a brilliant
picture.
At s o'clock a promenade concert was
given at Madison and State streets.
The court OF honor was packed with
an immense throng of curious sight
seers until midnight.
Thousands of people came down town
to hear the Mexican band play, but went
way disappointed. Through a misun-
d~erstanding the Mexican organization
did not participate in the promenade
concert in the court Of honor as had
been announced, and a local band was
substituted.
The electric light decorations on
State street are beyond anything in
that line ever attempted in Chicago and
although not all Of them were in work
ing order tonight, the effect was beau
tifuL. The evening concerts and illum-
ination will comprise the festival pro-
gramme until the arrival of President
Mckinley on Saturday night. when the
first parade, that OF the bicyclists, will
be held.

in Order to Save Himself and Family.
NEW YORK, October A cable dis
patch has been received in this city
from Caracas to the effect that Presi-
dent Igancio Andrade has engaged pas
sage for himself and family on the Red
d line steamer Philadelphia, which
leaves La Guayra on the 10th for Ponce,
Porto Rico, and New York. 1t is gen
orally believed he will go to Ponce.
If this dispatch is authentic, it means
that President Andrade regards himself
defeated by the insurgents under Gen.
Cipriano Castro, and will leave the
country to save himself. Latest adj
vices received here say that Gen. Cas-
tro and his advance guard are at Ell
vale, which is only three miles from
Caracas. Gen. Castro, however, has
declared against entering the capital, IS
a battle there would entail the loss of
the lives of many disinterested persons.
He wishes, therefore, to engage the gov
eminent troops just outside the city.
The latter, however, show no DISPOSE
ton to meet the rebels in a decisive
battle.
The revolutionary forces have been
augmented by the followers of Gen.
Jose Manuel Hernandez, who is now in
prison in Caracas. Thus far the latter
have fought independently Of the Cas-
tro forces. Gen. Samuel Acosta, one of
Gen. Hernandez's leading officers, has
been appointed military governor of the
rebel hands. Gen. Acosta is the person
who killed President Crespo in battle.
There are nov said to be nearly 1000
political prisoners in Caracas. The
news of i%nsurgent success, it is assert
ed. has done injury to the credit of the

Admiral Dewey no Longer on Sea
Duty--An Early Start for Yes
terday's Work.


WASHINGTON, October Admiral
Dewey made an early start to-day to
fill a number of engagements. After
breakfast he Joined one of his associ-
ate officers for a stroll out Connecticut
avenue, and on returning proceeded to
the Navy Department accompanied by
Admiral Farquhar, the new commander
of the North Atlantic station, and Capt.
Lamberton, his chief of staff, and a
Chinese body servant. Few people
were aware of the admiral's coming, so
there was o much OF a demonstration
when he entered the department.
The admiral went to see Secretary
Long and talk over his plans for the
immediate future, and as to these Sec
rotary Long promptly gave notice that
the department was willing to give him
perfect liberty to do as he pleased. The
admiral was, therefore. at his instance,
detached formally from the Olympia as
of this date. He will telegraph the
executive officer of the ship at Tomp-
kinsville to haul down his flag to-day
and thus will terminate his connection
with the cruiser which for more than
two years has been his home.
In accordance with projects already
planned the admiral will go to YER
mont Monday as the guest Of w.
Seward Webb, S%helburne farms, near
Burlington. After a reception at the
State capitol, on the 18th inst, he will
go to Boston, to attend the reception.
there in his honor on the 14th inst.
The Olympia will meanwhile have ar
rived at that place, for her orders, is
sued to-day, are to proceed at once from
New York to Boston, to be put out of
commission and be extensively repair
ed.
After the Boston ceremonies. Admiral
Dewey is expected to return TO Wash
ington to meet his colleagues of the
Philippine commission. Secretary Long
to-day said that the Admiral's time
would be fully occupied in the delibera-
tons of the commission for some
months TO come, and meanwhile in or
der to leave him free for this work he
will not be assigned to any naval duties.
Further than this point the department
has not yet undertaken 10 define its
plans for Admiral Dewey's future.
When all of these details had been
arranged, the Admiral walked over to
the White House to keep an appoint
ment made with the President to dis
euss the Philippine situation.
The Admiral remained with the Presi-
dent for an hour. President Schur-
mann, of the Philippine commission.

ed Admiral Dewey as be left the Presi-

Captain Lamberton. OF the Olympia,
also called upon the President by ap-
pointment and remained some time.
The captain went to New York this
afternoon and from there he will go to
Boston, where he will put the Olympia
out of commission. He viii then take
a short rest preparatory to any assign
ment which the department may give
him.

Special TO the Register.
ALLIANCE, Ohio, October A de-
cidedly unique organization, to be
known as the Widows Aid and Bene-
fit Society,"" has been formed at Marl-
boro, a village eight miles from this
place. The officers are Mrs. Esther
Thomas, President; Mrs. Louisa France,
Secretary, and Mrs. Henrietta Wean-
stler, Treasurer, and the object of the
society is to promote the social welfare
of the members. Membership is limit
ed to widows, grass-widows being ex-
cluded.
News Of the meeting was noised about
the village, and not to be outdone by
the women, the bachelors and wild
overs hastily called a meeting and
effected an impromptu organization,
after which they drafted resolutions
which they sent to the widows. The
resolutions expressed sympathy with
their condition and the object of their
organization, and suggested a union Of
the two societies for the Advancement
and protection of matrimonial oppor-
tunities." Though the suggestion met
with warm approval from the widows,
formal action was postponed. The pop
ulation consists of less than 290 souls,
forty of whom are widows and ten
grass-widows.
