Grand Civic and Military Pagean

Grand Civic and Military Pageant
Follows Nations Chief.
The ceremonies attending the laying Of
the corner stone of Chicagos new post
office building were followed in the after
noon by a pageant which surpassed all
similar civic and military displays in the
history of the city. 1t was viewed by
thousands who formed two compact walls
Of humanity miles in length. There were
no threatening skies to mar or conceal
the lavish decorations of the Court Of
Honor or to dampen the patriotic ardor Of
the hosts of people. Veterans of three
wars received their proper measure Of APP
plause. Gray boards of the Mexican war
and the aged warriors Of the civil con-
iict heard echoes of the bugle, fife and
drum which fEed their heroism at Buena
Vista, Gettysburg, Vicksburg and Rich
mond; the veterans of the strife yet fresh
in memory still showed the scars of bat
tie, while scores of semi-miHtary and
civic organizations gave additional weight
to the significance Of the parade. The
distinguished visitors from Canada, Mex
leo and from this country all received and
were made to realize that Chicago has
heart in proportion to its size.
President McKinley's appearance along
the line of march was attended by con-
tinuous wave of applause, while with
barred head he bowed to the throngs.
From the appointed place through the
maze of downtown streets to the review
ing stand the President looked into a sea
Of faces.
Vice-President Mariscal of Mexico, sur
rounded by cavalcade of horsemen in
brilliant colors; Sir Wilfred Laurier pre-
mier Of Canada, escorted by another cav
airy guard; distinguished generals of the
American army in their sashes and regi-
mentals, members of the Presidents cab
met in severe black, and scores of other
distinguished guests were paid for their
visit to the city by the greetings given
them. The concourse OF people which
witnessed this military pageant was
doubtless one Of the largest gatherings
in the history Of the city. The color ev-
erywhere, the bright, clear sky, the sol
diers passing by and the presence of high
dignitaries of this and other governments
all combined to make the military parade
a success beyond all sanguine expecta-
tons.
Mai Gen. Merritt, chief marshal OF
the parade, estimated that 1000, 900 per-
sons saw the pageant, and Chief of Po-
lice Ripley, who rode at the head Of the
column, said the thfong numbered 1.25O.-
600.
A banquet given at the Auditorium to
President Mckinley and distinguished
guests of the city was the ceremonial cli-
max of the day.

TO STANDBY KAuTz.
The AImiral,. Action In sap.oa In Sat.
isfactory and He IL Upheld
by the G0veFnment.

Washington. Apri: IA. - Admiral
Kautz' actions in Samoa, as far as they
are set forth in the official dispatches,
are approved. He was instructed by the
last mail steamer from Auckland to
avoid needless collisions, but to protect
property and life until the three treaty
powers decided how to deal with the
situation. No further instructions have
yet been sent to him, and if any go for
ward by cable within the next "a hours,
which is the limit of time available il
the outgoing steamer is to be caught
at Auckland, they will be simply rep.
etition of former orders. Department
officials point out that from accounts
SO far received the admiral appears to
have acted in conjunction with the
British forces only in pursuance of the
policy of defense of foreign interests.
1t is expected that he will not abate
his efforts to secure the restoration of
peace. and it is probable that when
the high commission arrives at Apia it
will find its work facilitated through
the suppression of the rebellion.
Washington. April 15.-After hearing
Friday morning from the British and
German embassies, the state depart
ment was enabled to announce positive
ly and finally that the three parties to
the Berlin treaty had agreed upon the
instructions to be given their Samoan
commissioners, and that it was certain
that the commission would leave San
francisco on the 25th inst. for Samoa
on the Badger.

Great Damage to Property.

Sheridan. Wyo.. April 1.-THE flood
has subsidized for. the present, but the
damage caused by high water has been
enormous. The people are trying to
figure up the loss of life and property.
AS far as definitely known all the dead
are Crow Indians, and the number is
placed at 90. The city has lost five
bridges, and has only three left. These
are of iron, and are located in favorable
positions. Main street is cut in two by
the loss of the bridge, as is Broadway
and Fifth avenue. The northern por-
ton of the city was under water, caus-
ing the Inhabitants of that portion to
vacate their homes, many of them hav-
ing to wade waist deep in water to reach
places of safety. No greater flood was
everknown in this country, and the foot
hills and mountains are still covered
with an enormous quantity of snow
that will cause high water during the
hot months

Johns Protestant Episcopal church in
Jersey City, N. j. Rev. DR.. E. L. Stod-
dard, rector of st. Johns, tabooed the
fragrant and beautiful flower for hv-
genie reasons. Experience, he says,
has taught him that when the Easter
lily is used. even in small quantities,
in the altar and chancel decorations,
the odor affects the members of the
choir, giving them severe headaches.
DIR. Stoddard says also that he received
complaints on the same score from
members of the congregation.

For many centuries it has been the
common belief that salt and much of it
is necessary to the human system. Few
people are aware that on an average
the food we eat contains sufficient Of
the mineral for all ordinary purposes.
Many physicians, on the contrary, are
now tending to the belief that salt is
moderately, if not highly, deleterious
to the system. 1t is true that certain
animals require it in large quantities,
but this does not hold for the human
race. Sailors, who are confined almost
entirely to the use of salty food, suffer
ills unspeakable on long voyages.

PARTISAN BARRIERS now cut hair by
electricity. An electric comb is used.
1t looks like the ordinary comb, except
that thin wire is stretched above the
upper portion of the teeth along the
handle. The wire is connected elec-
trically with storage battery. When
the battery is connected the wire be-
comes red hot. Therefore when this
comb passes through the hair the lat
ter is burned off by the red hot wire.
The whole operation is so rapid that a
heavy head Of hair may be clipped in a
few minutes. Not only this but the
ends Of the hair can not bleed, as the
ends become scared.
