NEW YOIIK , Oct. 9.-Columbus week hat
coma at lost , a week of pomp and pageantry -
geantry , and It Unds the great city ready for
it. T o streets are swept and garnished ,
the buildings are resplendent. Masslvo
arches and lofty columns have ooon reared
In our proudest avenue and our famous street
and all things made ready for the marching
hosu , whose footsteps will ring out the
name which gave our country Its oravest
title Columma.
You might bavo known it early In the day.
You certainly had no doubt of It If you
mingled in the surging crowds which ran all
day and far into the night , between the
blocks ot red , white and blue , with hero ud
there a streak of Spanish yellow , which
narked the outlines of coming parades.
You know It If you were real good nnd went
to church You knew U If > ou notoo. the
complexions of the crowds upon the streets
and saw how many thcro were who were
strangers within the gates who had come to
tee how well the Empire city could niako a
holiday.
It was Just the most whimsical pretense of
bad weather which ushori'd In the festal
week. It took the dust out of the air and
toned up your constitutions , and did not do
the decorations a baltueuiiy worth of harm.
After spouting lor awbho in the morning ,
tbo day got suddenly good natured , the sun
came out , and tbcro was u cool ureeie.
Uiip.tlrlntlc N.ibjbu.
How gay the avenue looked , and how pro
cessional.
The onlv marring feature was the miles of
raw planking , In which the stops and bun
nlsters of rich men's homes bad boon
sheathed. But this , lu u mc.uuro , was a
necessary evil. You would read the char
nclcrs ol the owners in those sbeathlnss.
Borne , llko the VundorUiltE. had inndo plat
forms for the crowd , with guard rails for
protection ugilnst uccidcit Other rich
men had made ridge uotes on their oflices
and boarded up their steps. They seemed to
think their possessions were only for the
rich. Ono prominent clergyman said that
bo would not blnino the people If they tore
dowu tbeso unpatriotic burier .
Bofoto other houses high torts ot nlani :
were roared. 'Jheiowas room on top for
tbe ownci's particular friends , but none I6r
"tho common herd. " Scoie * of other stands
were bullion speculation , with seats ranging
from $3 upward for each day of the parade.
Bomo of the churches engaged in this busi
ness. The proceeds will uo to charity.
But In spltu of the raw carpenter work ,
which will be partially covered with human
ity when the urocosslons go by , the uvenuo
was a cay spectacle , and the thousands and
tens of thousands who turned out upon it ,
found , plenty to do in dod lni ; the medal
tellers and studying the earnest efforts of
the man who decorates.
Prom tbo Battery to Central park there
wai u ceaseless proctssiou all day long.

Wherever God was worshiped in the city
of Now York , thanksgiving was uttered for
Columbus uud for the vuyngo which led tbe
way to the birth of tbo land of light and lib
erty. From a hundred altars the song of the
"To Doum'1 wont up to huavcn , tbo church's

In tbo uig steeples teen up the glad retrain
and the voices of ether boils which have but

could. It was tbo tu-imi which groelcJ
Columbus when his caravels had borne him
tafo several hundred years ugo. Many
pupils were taught the pregnant Icssou of
Columbus' life , the lesou of bis faith and
courage and steadfastness of his purpose
which never faltered umld the storms , waves
of dit ippomtment and perplexity.
Cunning bunds have Leon at work the lost
day or two puttlag holiday attire on ruutiv
church edttlces. All tbo loved colors the

blossoms of autumn. But iho star spangled

aud rejoicing. With tboir cross which he
planted on the island where be first landca ,
the Island to which be give the name of Holy
Savior and the grout eburch united In paying
tribute to the man who bad been so exulted
in name and faith. Wherever the cross of
Homo was raised thcro wus sung the anclont
Gregorian chant , ' -To Ueum Laudutnus , "
thereby following tbo example of the ruat
navigator himself.

Somewhat ota new sound swent through
tbo vaulted aichcs of tbu great wblto marble
cathedral. The sound of national airs plaxod
by a master touch played on the great'or
gan and by Iho enhancing orchestra und
mng by f > ,000 vokes with all the fervor of
tplrlts hlghwroughl by the splendor of a
tolcrnn high mass and un eloquent nud fer-
\id sermon.
The American colors were draped artist
ically about tbo conductor's box , und over
tbo cover of the pulpit was a solid and mag
nificent muss of ( lowers. Tbo American
khleld found a rcsllnc pluco lu iliu sanctu
ary. It IM a rare thing for Iho Catholic
church to allow national colors upon Its
walls , aud the compliment paid was Intended
to be n very high one. Outside and In front
of tbo cathedral was u rainbow , wbllo the
apostolic residences were also decorated.
High mass was sung ut 11 o'clock. The 1C
o'clock mass was omitted In order to concen
trate all the forces of the cathedral upon the
festival services. As soon is the doors wen
opened the rcoplo poured In floods into the
building , tilling all the nvailaulo pows am

God , thanking Him for all His rruclous mer
cies to us for the discoverv of this , our coun
try , 400 years oeo. We all do honor to the
memory of Christopher Columbus , a man of
Mcillng worth and Integrity of character
with a strong will , a determined faith , a
buoyant hope a man who exalted not him
self , but stood oven In the presence of a
human monarch bound In chains. We honor
his memory , not because of hlm cif , but be-
c&uso of what he was , underGod , the Instru
ment of doing.
" 1 feel tbat I am not going outof my way
to sound n nolo of wurnlne to the press. I
am speaking now of the dally press the
ni-wsDBpcrs. I would warn the press ot Its
decadence In its hold upon tbu people and
the weakening of lu power to mould and
gu < do public opinion. I do not say this
power bus been lost , but most surely there
Is ereat danger of It. How can It he other
wise when the press panders to vicious
tastes and Is recognized as u partisan lu
national matters.
"I trust that what I have said may not be
deemed an allacK upon tbo press. 1 onlv
sound this note of warning because I do not
want the press to lese power ever iho na
tional conscience. I want It to be fair , honest ,
true , Just , clean and unsensatlonal.1

until It husc perwendlcularly In the air A
little more work and it stood on its destined
place on the base of Ihu statue. Then there
arose n shout of satisfaction from all sides
from the hundreds gathered to see the xxork
progress. This shaft Is a single stono. It
Is twenty-seven feet in height , nnd four feet
in diumeter at the base. The weight Is
thirty-six tons. It stands on a base that Is

BEE.J The trial of William H. Irvlno for
the murder of Cbarle * H. Montgomery ,
xvhlch begins in the district court in tbls city
tomorrow moruini ; , gives promise of being
one ot the mast noted trials In the criminal
annuls of the slate. The prominence of the
parties , Iho wealth of the victim , the high
character of the prisoner , Ihe causes which
lad up to Ihe shooting , and finally the sensa
tional circumstances of the f-footing itself ,
all combine to make th : case mult Interest
ing and Important.
The crime for which Irvine xvill tomorrow
bo placed on trial for his life xvas committed
al Iho Hotel Lincoln In Ibis city on tbo
20th of lust May. The day xxas Ihe silver
anniversary of tbo admission of the sluto of
Nebraska , and In : citizens of Lincoln had
arranged an elaborate celebration of Ibe Im
portant event. The city ivas croxvded wltu
visitors , the streets xvero In gala attire and
everything betokened a holldax- . The shooting
occurred a foxv minutes before 3 o'clock In
the dining room of the hotel. The room xvas
crowded xvith guests of both sexes , and some
of the most prominent people of Nebraska
xvero quietly enjoying their mornlne repast ,
all unconscious of the fearful tragedy about
to be enacted In their presence. Suddenly ,
xvlthout a xvord of xvarume , tbo report of a
pistol shot rcug through tbo room and then
another. A gentleman sluing al the table
nearest the dojr xvas sean to arise from his
cbalr. stagger blindly around the table out
Into the corndor and fall at the foot of a
divan , xvbero be xvas picked up a few
moment * later In a dj ing condition. The
man xvho tired the shots xx'as W li Irvine
aud bis victim was C E Montgomery ,
Del.ills iI thu rr.iimly.
Mr. Irvine xvas seen to walk up the stair
way loading from the oRlce in the dining
room on Ihe ssoond floor and pause at the
entrance. Ho glanced hastily around the
room , evidently In sbarch of so-ne one. Mr.
Montgomery xvus seated at the tirsl lable al
Ihu right of" und half facing the door , quietly
cuatune wilh B. S Smith Ho looked up-
xxard and bis eyes rested upon Irvine as tbo
latter IOOK a step toxxard him Moutgomerv
half laisod from bis chair and extended his
right hand , either in greeting or fear.
As ho did so , Mr. trvina cxcluimcd. "D n
youl You've ruined my xvifel" and in-
slant ly fued two shots at his victim , x-ho
stood but a few feet away. Montgomery
siuRpered around tbe table toward his mur
derer , out of the dining room anor , and fell
xvith a gasp to the lloor at the foot of a cir
cular divan several fuel from Iho entrance
He was at once picked up and curried into
pa-lor C near by , but life xvas already ex
tlnct. Ho aid not utter mora than u gasp
after Ihe bullet had entered bis heart
Irvine took Montgomery's llfo because he
believed thai Ihe taller bad debauched his
wile. Al Ihe time of ihosboollug Declaimed
to hs.vo positive proof of Iho fuel. The
papers be held In hi& hand when the guests
of the hotel crowded around blm ou tbo
morning ot the treaedy xxheu his victim l y
dead almost at his feel , contained a confes
sion sisnod by Mrs. Irvine , In which she ad-
milled her cullty connection with the mur
dered man. At least Irviuo bad claimed lhal
the papers contained such a confession , The
tragedy xvas enacted ou Thursday morning
and the Sunday before Irvine bad arrived
from Salt Lake City on his xvay to Join his
wife , xvbo was then visiting at her olu home
at Marion , Ind.
Mhcu Inlnr Heart ! the Story.
When Irvine started eait from Suit Lake
City to Join bis wife bo had Iho mosl Implicit
faith In her. He arrived In Lincoln Sunday
afternoon at 2:15 o'clock , inlenoing lo stop
over with a friend until the next day. As
be lettlbe depot to wait to His friend's home
be met an acquaintance on tbe street xvno
thoughtlessly , und xvlth no Idea of the ter
rible consequences of bis words , poured into
his ears tno first inUmn'ion no bad over
beard against bis xvife's honor. Without
xvailing to see lh& friend he went al once lo
tbo telegraph office and sent n message to
hlswlfo asking her whore sue had stopped
xx ben al Chicago Tbo unsxver came bucit
"At the Grand Pacific. " Another telegram
flashed over the wires , this time lo Ihe man
agement of ibe Grand Pacific. Again ihe
answer came t > ack Ibal no such lady baa
slopped at that hotel ou the day named.
ThU xvus enough lo confirm Ihe suspicions
that bad already been raised in the mind of
tin husband and , armed xvitn tbo telegrams ,
ho look ibe first train for Chicago. He bad
telegraphed his rrlfo to meet him at Chicago
and she did so. He at once questioned her
closely concerning her relations with Monl-
comery. LIule by little tbo unhappy woman
related the story , reluctantly admitting the
facts in answer lo her husband's questions ,
until al last tbu xvhole terrible truth lay
bare.
She admitrad that she had come to Chicago
on tbe same train with Montgomery , that
they occupied u suite of rooms at the Hotel
Grace and that on February U Montgomery
had accomplished her ruin. Tbo story xvas
reduced to xvi Iting , the xvlfo's inotb r sign-
Inc tbo confession as a xvtlness to tne un
happy daughter's signature.
Toe xvronccd husband lost no time in re
turning to Lincoln. He gave up a pleasure
trip , xxnlch bis xvifo xvas to have xbaicd
xvlth him , ana , xrltb the written and attested
proofs of her infidelity in his pontcet , he teen
tbo first train bick lo the home of h r be
trayer. He arrived at Lincoln at 5.20 on
Thursday morning , and at ( t o'clock hid

the faul that thorc buvo boon communica

kept ported on the movements of the other.
I had along talk with old American Horse ,
who scorns to think the , situation is serious
enough to warrant careful consideration.
'Ono trouble at present , and ono of the

" the fact that the agent at Pine KUge ,

posted on the reliable and untrustworthy In

amount of information concerning the cuur-
aclor of the men no has to deal with in Ihu
short loncih ol time he has been iccro , and
if hi : appointment was made permanent or
for the term of four years it would go u
great way toward settling the difficulty.
Bui the urmy represents force to the Indian
and as long as there is HII urmy officer tem
porarily in control the Indian will be suspi
cious and hold aloof from tbo government. .
'It U dinicult to got a civilian who has had
cufiicient experience to control the turbulent
chaiacters he Nas to deal with utPinu Hidgo ,
and that is probably tbo reason there has
been no appointment made at that agency.
But tbo government owes It to the to til era
to adjust this matter spcedilv , before next

"It may bo that no trouble at all will oo-

war , and he will seize on a slight pretext us
an excuse to go out. The battle of Wounded
Knee and Its horrors IK still a topic for ear
nest conversation among the bioux at and
around Pine Hldge , and they wool want
much coaxing to give the soldiers plenty of
work next summer.
"But the Indian is like a steer ; ho Is vary
