The ceremonies of the day took plnco In
the administration building. Passing
through the building the no tables came out
\ipon n platform nt the east , sldo , landing out

Orrmunlnt of tlio ll.iy.
Probably .100,000 thousand pcoplo were
nssemblod when , at 11 o'clock , the advance
ftuani of the cortege signaled the approach
of President Cleveland and the dignitaries
of the day to the World's fair grounds.
After entering the ground , the journey to
the Administration building wns made with
all possible dispatch , the presidential party
not stopping to acknowledge nny of the
popular ovations extended to Iho chief ex
ecutive. Of course , thu cheering was tre
mendous when President Cleveland faced
the greal multitude assembled tha largest
audience ever faced b.v an American citizen.
Following the president nnd the director
general , wcro the members of the presiden
tial cabinet , under t'lc ' escort of Iho World's
/air official.1 * ; Duke do Veragua and his
family ; members of the diplomatic .Topi ;
members of congress ; senators ami oilier
prominent dignitaries , who had seats on the
grand stand.
The ! ! ,000 Columbian guards who sur
rounded the Administration building made a
futile effort to keep back the crowd , but
they were swept back by the resistless ivnvo
nnd jammed against thu railing until they
themselves became an unrecogni/.ablo part
of that Incessant , struggling , but good
naturcdund cheering area of humanity.
Opened ivl/h I'niyur.
At lliHO , to Iho minute , Ihe program
opened with a blast from the orehestiu ,
which rendered the martin ! olr of thoColum-
bian march of John K. Paine. The music
lasted for fifteen minutes , and at its con
clusion Director General Davis stepped to
thu front of the platform , waved his hand
mippllcalimly two or three times 10 Iho
vast audience , and then announced in a
tone which was lost In the hum of voices
that Huv. W. II. Milhurn would pronounce
the innovation. The blind chapluin of the
United States house of representatives
slepncd to the front , guided by a woman s
hum ! , his adopted daughter , Miss Louie
Gemlo.y , escorting him. and faced the multl-
tudo , which he could not even see , but whoso
presence hu felt by the very animation that
permeated the atmosphere.
After .1 brief pause , when the murmur of
voices had ceased , the blind chaplain offered
prayer.
"Thn Prophecy , "
"The Prophecy , " an ndo written oy W. A.
Crofut in honor of Iho exposition , was next
on the program. II was road by Miss Jessie
Coulhui , a dellcalo young woman , whoso
enunciation wns perfect , but whoso voice
was , of course , lost to all except the Immedi

apootioa today. I may bn p rmltuxl , how-
OTW , to iay a word la praise of and In gratl-
tudo to my co-ofllcers nnd oulclal staff , who
form the great organl/.atlon which nmdo
this coiisummatlon | > os3lblo. The exposition
is not the conception of any single mind ; it Is
not the result of any single effort ; but it Is
thu grandest conception of nit the minds and
the best obtainable results of all the efforts
put forth by all the people who may In any
manner contribute to Its creation ,
Who Worded Out tlio DetnlN.
The great commanding agencies through
which the government has authorized this
work to proceed are the national commission ,
consisting of IOS men nnd their nltcinutcs
selected from the several States and terri
tories presided over by Hon. Thomas
W. Palmer of Michigan ; the eoriwratlon of
the state of Illinois known i\a the World's
Columbian ex | > osltlon , consisting of forty-live
directors , presided over by Mr. II. N. Hlj-
glnlKitham of Chicago ; nnd the board of
lady managers , consisting of 115 women nnd
their alternates selected from the several
states-presided over by Mrs. Potter
Palmer of Chicago. To these great agen
cies , wisely selected by congress , each per
forming Us special function , thu gratitude
of the people of this country and the cordial
iccopnitlon of nil these friendly foreign
representatives are duo.
To perfect from these agencies an cfllcient
organi/a lion wns our tlrstdutymid it wassuc-
cessfullyaccomplishedat thootitset through
committees , subseipientl.v by great execu
tive departments ; and throuph these depart
ments the systematic , vigorous and effective
work has progressed. Through the depart
ment of administration , the department of
llnance , the department of works and the
great exhibit department , the plan and
scope of a grand international exposition
have been worked out.
The department of finance , composed of
members of the Illinois corporation , has ,
with a disinterestedness remarkable , with
courage undaunted , successfully financed the
exposition and has provided for tlio great
work upwards of f''O.WO.lXM ) .
The department of works nnd its many
uurcEitis of artists , architects , engineers nnd
Its builders have transformed these grounds ,
which twenty-ono montl s ago were an un
sightly , uninviting and unoccupied stretch
of landscape. Into the beauty and splendor of
today. They have conspicuously performed
their functions , and these grand avenues ,
tlipso Venetian waterways , the finished
landscape , thu fountains and sculptures and
co'onnades ' , and these grand palaces , stand
out as a monument to their genius and their
slnll , supplemented by the laborof tliat t.1-oat
army of skilled artisans nnd workmen , all
clti/.ens of this republic.
The chiefs of tlio great departments who
have exploited this mighty enterprise and
gathered hero the exhibits form
ing the picture that is sot in
this magnificent frame have confirmed
the wisdom of their selection. No state or
territory of the union has escaped their
voice ; no laud on thcglobo that has a lan
guage hut has been visited and the invita
tion of the president of the United States
personally presented. Kortunatclj , at the
inception of this enterprise , our government
was and is still at peace with the whole
w6rld. Commissioners were sent to Europe ,
to Asia , to Australia , Uritlsh North America
and to the Islands of thu .seas , so that today
the whole world knows and is familiar with
the significance of the great peace festival
we are about to Inaugurate upon this campus
and all the nations Join in celebrating the
event which it commemorates.
All the World Gathered Together.
This inclosurc , containing nearly 700 acres ,
covered by more than -100 structures , from
thu small state pavilion , occupying an ordi
nary building site , to tho. colossal structure
of the manufactures and liberal arts buildIng -
Ing , covering over thirty acres , is tilled and
crowded with u display of the achievements
and products of the mind und hand of man ,
such as has never before been presented to
mortal vision. The habits , customs and lifu
of the people of our own and foreign lauds
are shown In the variegated plaisancu ; those
stately buildings on the north a TO tilled with
thu hi.storlc.il treasures and natural products
of our several states. The artistic , charac
teristic and beautiful devices , the headquar
ters of foreign commerce , surromullng the
gallery of line arts , which In itself will be an
agreeable surprise to the American beholder ,
constitute the grand central scen'o of social
and friendly amenities among the deft peoples
ples of thricarth.
Surrounding this grand plaza on which wo
stand , and reaching from the north pond to
thu uxtrcmu south. Is the great mechanical ,
scientific , industrial and agricultural ex
hibit of the resources and products of the
world. These have been secured from the
four quarters'of the globe and placed in
systematic ordur under the supervision of
these great departments , and while all the
material upon the grounds is not yet placed
I am gratified to bo ublo to point to tlio
president of the United States , at this time ,
the official catalogue containing a descrip
tion and thu locution of the exhibits of 4OX )
purtlclpuntu In the exposition. The number
of exhibitors will exceed (10,000 ( when every
thing is In place. Thu citizens of our coun
try are proud and always will bo proud of
the action of the congress of the United
States of America in authorizing and di
recting this contribution to take place for
appropriating more than 5,000,000 in its aid
ami for unswerving support and encourage
ment of the oniccrs of the government.
All the Aid Appreciated.
To the states of the union wo are largely
indebted for active and substantial support.
A sum In excess of f4 > ,000OOU has been raised
and expended by the states and territories
for their onlciul USD lu promoting their own
interests conjointly with the general success
of the exposition.
To the foreign nations who have a repre
sentation upon these grounds , never before
witnessed at any exposition , as shown by
thu crund exhibits they have brought hero
und the hundreds of official reports of foreign
governments who are present on this occa
sion , wo bow in grateful thanks. Moro than
$ ii,000,000 has been ofllcially appropriated
for these commissions in furtherance of their
participation in the exposition. The great
nations of Europe nnd their dependencies
are all represented upon these grounds. Tlio
governments of Asia and Africa and of the
republics of the western hemisphere ,
with but fcwoxceptions.nrohoro represented.
To thu citizens und the corporation of Chicago

To the women of Chicago nnd our great
land , whose prompt , spontaneous and en
thusiastic co-operation in our work turned
the eyes of the world toward the exposition

ation for womanhood everywhere wo ex
tend our cordial nnd unstinted recognition.
It is our hope that the great exposition
may inaugurate a now era of moral and ma
terial progress and our fervent aspiration is
that this association of the nations may secure
not only warmer but stronger friendships
throughout thu world.
The grand concerted Illustration of modern
progress which is hero presunted for the en
couragement of art , of science , of Industry ,
of commerce , has necessitated an expendi
ture , Including the outlay of our exhibitors ,
largely In excess of 5100,000.000. Wo hnvo
given It our constant thought , our most de
voted scrvlcn , our best energy ? and now , in
the central city of this great republic on the
continent discovered by Columbus , whoso
distinguished descendants are present as the
honored guests of our nation , it only remains

firt'eteil Clevrllllldovlth u Cheer.
As President Cleveland stopped forward
to deliver his address ho was greeted with a
mighty cheer and \vas frequently Interrupted
by applause. Ho spoke as follows :
I am hero to join my fellow citizens In con
gratulations which befit the occasion. Sur
rounded by the stupendous results of Ameri
can enterprise and activity , and In-view of
thu magnificent evidences of American skill
and intelligence , wo need not fear that these
congratulations will bo exaggerated. Wo
stand today lu the presence of the oldest
nations of thn worhl , and point to the great
achievements we here exhibit , asking no at-
lonancu on the score of youth , The en
thusiasm with which we contemplate -
template our work intensifies tha
warmth of the greeting wn extend
to those who hora coma from , foreign , lands
to Illustrate * with us tha growth and
progress of human endeavor In the direction
of higher civilization. Wo who bellovothat

which our faith promises gladly welcome

results accomplished by efforts which have
been exerted longer than ours tti the Held
of man's Improvement , whllo In appreciative
return wo exhibit the unparalleled advance
ment and wonderful accomplishment of our
young nation nnd the present triumphs of n
vigorous , self-reliant nnd independent pee
ple.
rromloit ol All Our Work.
Wo have built these splendid edifices , but
Mo have also built a magnificent fabric of
popular Rovernmcnt , whoso grand proportions
tions are seen throughout the world. We
have niiidu nnd hero gathered together the
products of American skill and Invention ;
wo have also mndo men who rule themselves.
It Is an exalted mission In which we and
our guests from other lands are engaged as
wo co-operate In the Inauguration of an en
terprise dovotcd to human enlightenment ,
and in the undertaking wo hero enter
UIKHI wo exemplify In the noblest sense
the brotherhood of nations. Let us hold fast
to the meaning that underlies this ceremony ,
and let us not lose the Imprcsslvencss of this
moment. As by tlio touch the machinery
that gives life to this vait exposition Is now
sot in motion , so at the same instant let our
hopes and aspirations awaken the forces
which in all limes to come shall influence
the welfare , dignity and freedom of man
kind.
Then thu Wheel * Went 'Kolllld.
As the president closed the golden key
which sent the electric current coursing
through the Immense buildings the whirr of
the machinery was almost nt once heard
und was greeted with a tremendous out
burst of enthuhism , ami the World's fair
was reall.v and truly Inaugurated.
The scene nt the moment the nation's
president reached forth his hand to awake
awake tlio great fair from Its , sleep ,
was ono of historic Interest , and
nnd onu which thrilled the vast assembly.
At that instant thu men at the halyards nt
the foot of each great Hag staff laid hold
with a vim. The monstrous American Hag
unfolded at the top of the ccnter | > ole broke
forth and broadened out In the air. . At each
corncrof the Administration building great
banners , blazoned with the arms of Custlle ,
were simultaneously thrown out from
every llafr stall upon all the buildings , whllo
the city banners , representing various
nationalities , was given to the breeze. The
great fountains gushed upwards and out
upon Lake Michigan , the revenue eutter
Andrew Johnson Loomed a salute and every
craft In thu neighborhood set its whistles to
scrceening. The great mass of people on the
plaza swayed like an ocean wave and roared
to heaven Us appreciation of the event. The
olllcials and dignitaries on the stand caught
the spirit and felt the infusion of patriotism
and national good-fellowship.
Inspected the Ground * .
As soon as the ceremonies attendant upon
the formal opening of the exposition were
over , President Cleveland , Ciovernor Alt-
geld , Mayor Harrison , the duke of Veragua
and other notables were conducted to the
dining hall on the third floor of the Admin
istration building , where they were enter
tained at dinner b.v the World's fair ofllclals.
When tlio dinner was over the party , with
President Cleveland and Director General
Davis in the lead , was conducted from thu
Administration building and was driven
around the grounds. At tha Manu
factures building , which was the
first place reached , the presiden
tial party alighted at the main
entrance and walked from one end of the
monstrous edifice to the other. From hero
they drove to the north end of the grounds ,
among the state buildings and back along
the main drive , past the horticultural build
ing to the south end of the grounds.
After having thoroughly inspected the
White City President Cleveland and his
party were driven to Grand Crossing , where
they took the train for Washington.
WOJIAN'S HUILOING.
Eloquent Addrcsn of President 1'nliner nml
Konpnnso of I.ndy Aberdeen.
The opening ofu-tho 'woman's-.building oc-
cnrred immediately after the general openIng -
Ing exercises had'closed. . The opcnin 'ad-
dress was .delivered by Mrs. Pottor'Palmer.
Mrs. Palmer s'aid , in part :
The moment of.fruitlon has arrived. Hopes
which for moro than two years have grad
ually been gaining strength and dcfinitcncss
have now become realities. Today the expo
sition opens its gates. On this occasion of
the formal opening of the woman's build
ing , the board of lady managers Is singularly
fortuiiato in having the honor to welcome
distinguished official representatives of many
of'the notable foreign committees and of the
state boards which have so effectively co
operated with it in accomplishing the re
sults now disclosed to the world.
Experlenco has brought many surprises ,
not the least of which is an impressive
realization of the unity of human Interests ,
notwithstanding differences of race , govern
ment , language , teni ] > crument and external
conditions. The people of all civilized lands
are studying the same problems. Each suc
cess and each failure in testing nnd develop
ing now theories is valuable to the whole
world. Social and industrial questions are
paramount , and are receiving the thoughtful
consideration of statesmen , studeuts , polit
ical economists , humanitarians , employers
and employed.
Cnuturlen of Injustice ( a Women.
Of all existing forms of Injustice there is
none so cruel and inconsistent as is the
position in w'.iich women are placed with re
gard to sclf-nmintcnnnco ; the calm ignoring
of their rights and responsibilities which
has gone on for centuries. If the economic
conditions are hard for men to meet , sub
jected as they nro to the constant weeding
out of less expert and steady hands , who arc
thereby plunged into an abyss of misery , it
is evident that women , thrown upon their
own resources , have a frightful struggle to
endure , especially as they have always to
contend against a public sentiment which
discountenances their .seeking industrial em
ployments as a means of livelihood. The
theory which exists among conservative
people that the sphere of woman Is her
homo ; that It Is unfumlnlno , oven monstrous
for her to wish to take a place beside , or to
compete with , men in the various lucrative
industries , tolls heavily against her , for
manufacturers and producers take advant
age of it to disparage her work and obtain
her services for a nominal price , thus pcollt-
ing largely by the necessities and helpless
ness of thulr victim. That so many should
cling to respectable occupations , whllo starv
ing in following them , and should refuse to
yield to discouragement and despair , shows
a high quality of steadfastness and principle.
These are the real heroines of life , whose
handiwork wo are proud to install in the ex
position , because It has been produced In
factories , workshops and studios under the
most adverse conditions nnd with the most
sublime patience and endurance.
KnlHrCBiiient of Woman's Sphere.
The absence of a Just nml general apprecia
tion of the truth concerning the position and
status of women has caused us to call special
attention to it , und to make a point of at
tempting to create , by moans of the exposi
tion , a well defined public sentiment In regard -
gard to their rights ana duties , nnd the pro
priety of their becoming , not only self-sup
porting , but abla to assist in maintaining
their families when necessary. Wo hope
that the statistics which thu board of lady
managers has been so earnestly attempting
to secure may glvo a correct idea of the
number of women , not only of these without
natural protectors or these thrown suddenly
upon their own resources , but thu number of
mechanics , laborers , artists , artisans nnd
workmen of every degree , who are forced to
work shoulder to shoulder with their hus
bands in order to maintain the family , with
out noting tha number forced to support
their husbands in idleness and vice.
Realizing that woman can never hopo. to
receive the proper recompense for her serv
ices until her usefulness nnd success are not
only demonstrated , but fully understood and
acknowledged , we have taken advantage ot
the opportunity presented by the exposition
to bring together such evidences of her skill
In the various industries , arts and profes
sions as may convince the world that ability
Is not a matter of sex. Urged by necessity ,
she has demonstrated that her powers are
the same as her brother's , and that Ilka en
couragement and fostering care may develop
her to an equal point of usefulness.
The board does not wish to bo. Understood
as placing nn extravagant or sentimental
value upon tha work of any woman because
of : hersex. It willingly acknowledges that
the Industries , arts nnd commerce of the
world have been for centuries'In the hands ;
of men who have carefully trained them. ,
selvoi for the retponalbllltle * devolving upon
them , and who hnyif , consequently , without
question , contrlbutpj vastly moro than
women to the valudiildl thought , research ,
Invention , science , art nnd literature , which
have become the rlcli h rltngo of the human
race. NotwltlistniidLnT their disadvantages ,
however , a few glued -women have made
their value felt anil have rendered excep
tional scrvlco to the cause of humanity.
Oriiml llcl'u from Abronit.
When our Invitation asking co-operation
was sent to forelcn ftlrids the commissioners
already npiotntcd rrpllutl doubtfully and ex
plained that their women were dome noth
ing ; that they wouldTnoTfeel Inclined to help
us , and In many casf s sUUcd that It was not
the custom of thclrjcountry for women to
take part In nny pubriti effort ; that they only
attended to social dnllts , drove In the parks ,
etc. Hut ns soon as these ladies received
our message , sent In a brief and formal lat
ter , the Free Masonry among women proved
to bo such that there needed no explanation ;
they understood at once the possibilities.
Strong committees were immediately formed
of women having largo hearts and brains ,
women who cannot selfishly enjoy the ease
of their own lives without giving a thought
to their helpless and wretched sisters.
Our unbounded thanks are duo to the ex-
oltcd nnd Influential personages who l > ecamo
In their respective countries patronesses and
leaders of the movement inaugurated by us
to represent what women are doing. U hey
entered with appreciation Into our work for
the oxjiosltion because they saw an oppor
tunity , Which they gracefully nnd delicately
veiled Dchlnd the mairnltlccnt laces forming
the central objects in their superb collec
tions , to aid their womou by opening now
markets for their wares , This was the
earnest purpose of their majesties , the cm-
press of Hussla nnd queen of Italy , both so
noted for the progressive spirit they
have displayed in promoting the welfare
of the women under their kingly rule.
They have sent largo collections of the
work of peasant women through organiza
tions which exist under their patronage for
soiling their handiwork. The collection of
her personal luces , sent by Queen Margherlta ,
will be ono of the most notable features of
the exposition.
The committeeof , Belgian ladles was kind
cnouph to take special pains to comply with
our request for statistics concerning the in

standing the fact that the collecting of
statistics Is not In Europe so popular as with
us. It has sent complete reports , very at
tractively prepared In the form of mono
graphs ami charts , giving details which
have been secured only by great personal
effort. These figures have never before been
obtained in that country nml the committee
itself is surprised at the great amount of
novel and valuable information it has suc
ceeded in presenting.
OueeiiH , Not Above Work.
Her majesty , tbo queen of England , has
kindly sot an exhibit of the work of her own
hands , with the message that , while she
usually feels no Interest in expositions , she
gives this special token of sympathy with
the work of the board of lady managers be
cause of Its efforts for women. That the
English committee has included in its ex
hibit and In its catalogue a plea for the
higher education of women is In itself a sig
nificant fact.
Her majesty , the queen regent of Spain ,
has kindly promised to gratify our desire by
sending some relics of tbo great Isabella ,
whoso name Is so closely associated with
that of the discoverer of our continent.
The orient has not been behind in its ef
forts to co-operate wUlvus , although It has
succeeded in doing sn'Qiilji on a llmitcdjscalo ,
and , in many cases , unofficially. Wo have
received thu most /jiuthntic appeals from
those countries in wh qli women are only beginning -
ginning to learn that thqrc is n fuller de
velopment and n hUchor liberty of action
permitted their sex elsewhere.
Japan , under the guidance of its liberal
and intelligent empresxj | ias promptly and
cordially promoted our plans.
Her majesty ttio qupcu < tf Slam has sent a
special delegate wUU.dlrcfnions that she put
herself under our lea crsljiip and learn what
industrial and cduoiUlonul advantages are
open to women in other countries , so that
Slam may adopt such measures as will elevate -

Wo rejoice in the possession of this beauti

building to an elevated womanhood , know
ing that by so doing wo shall best servo the
cause of humanity.
Lady Aberdeen' * Itcapanse.
Lady Aberdeen replied to Mrs. Palmer as
follows :
It'is a great honor to bo allowed to take
part in the opening ceremonies of an enterprise -
priso toward which the eyes of all who take
an interest in the work of women and the
position of women throughout the world are
turned with hope and confidence. Mrs.
Palmer has told us of what she and her col
leagues desire to attain through this frcat
undertaking. The objects which she has
put before us arc calculated to arouse our
utmost enthusiasm. I am sure that the
women of other countries represented here
will novcr forget the deep debt of gratitude
under which she and her fellow workers
have placed us ; and we can assure her that
she will over rocolvo the most loyal support
that wo can each render In our measure
throughout the course of this exposition.
I take it that the one supreme subject for
friendly rivalry and emulation existing be
tween us hero will bo to show how much the
women of each country have served that
country , and have thus raised it high in the
civilization of the world by their devotion ,
their skill , their talents , their Influence for
good. And , taking this as the standard by
which wo are to test ourselves , I am proud
to think that 1 am hero as the representative
of the two countries in which I can claim a
share of nationality Scotland and Ireland.
Women have counted for much in the his
tories of both these countries , and I think
wo can show by our exhibits that our peas
ant women do much for our national indus
trial reputation in botn instances. Wo hope
to show in the Irish village in the grounds
( in which Mrs. Potter Palmer takes so kind
an interest , nnd which President Cleveland
has honored by a visit ) the work of Irish
peasants in the process of being made ; and
hero in these buildings wo show specimens
of their finished work , thus bringing homo
to the minds of the visitors the fact that all
these beautiful baud-made laces and em
broideries which adorn the garments nnd the
palaces of thb wealthy are manufactured In
Irish cabins ns well as the ordinary linen
and woolens which are needed.
( Ireat IlenulU Will Follow.
We expect much good to come from this
splendid opportunity of exhibiting our goods ,
which you In the now world have afforded
us , nnd wo know you will rojolco In the
thought of whatever prosperity you may
thus bring into lowly homes and lives full of
pathos , of poverty , but to whom Just a very
little sunshine will moau perfect happiness ,
amidst the hills nnd itho vales which they
love so well. " ' " '
Hut our expectations-l5y no means rest
hero we are looking with onger expectation
to the results whlch Ul ( low oat to all
nations of the world from the arrangements
you are making , from the meeting of the
representative women ot > ill countries. It Is
much when the women At ono country will
thus meet ono another , face to face , nnd
learn to know ono itfiothcr and to realize
what Is being done tiieli ( > forward the com
mon cause of humanity r but when now wo
see before us the women workers nnd think
ers of the world , coining together from all
climes , to prove thclrs'lsterhood , and to find
new and rich sources of common strength
from which they maj * gather Inspiration
wherewith they may.render higher and
holler and moro fruttfuKs4rvlcu to their own
homes nifd to the world than has yet been
dreamt of , how can Wo1 b'ut linger on the
threshold In expectant awe of what wo feel
may yet prove the discovery of a now world ,
moro potent in possibilities for the raca than
oven that wonderful now world whose dis
covery wo celebrate today.
Will this not Indeed be so , If the women of
the world , stimulated by what they will see
here of what has been accomplished by their
sex under Imperfoot.condltlons and perceiv
ing the grandeur of their vocation ana thu
splendor of their opportunities'go forward ,
united In spirit and fir d with a common devotion -
votion and faith to serve their day and generation -
oration with a service-with which past ages
have never been blessed.
At the close of the addresses by the ladles
of foreign nations , Mrs. J. E. Eckards of
Montana presented Mrs. Palmer with the
nail which that state had chosen as a sym
bolical gift to the president of the board of
lady managers. She said ; "I beg to present -
sent Montana's contribution to Mrs , Potter
Palmor.honored president of this grand sym
bol of the progressive ages the i. Woman's

nnd with the fervent prayer that U may add

for the sisterhood of the world. I now have
the honor to present the nail. "
The committee on federal relations of the
board presented Mrs. Palmer with n mlnin-
turo silver wreath ns a token of their appre
ciation of her work.
This concluded the exercises nnd the doors
of the building were then thrown open.
SCKNICS AND IN
Ilnppoiilng * DtiHng the Opcnlnc Hour * of
tlio ( Ireut Cxpo'lllon ,
Half In clotidlnnd was the white Colum
bian city by the lake when diffused and
sourcoless the slow daylight crept upon the
earth this morning. The eastern horizon had
no moro of color than had the western hori
zon. Eastward , where the dawn was breakIng -
Ing , drifting banks of mist brooded down
upon the waters of Lake Michigan so that
cloud and waters mingled into a gray Held
that baffled vision nnd perspective.
Northward' , southward everywhere , a pal
pable , leaden veil trailed from aloft to the
horizon. To ono who early stood In the
midst of the great plaza , whcro the crowds
should later bo. the Surroundings , stupendous
deus In plan , ponderous In their extent and
soft white In the morning light , gave moro
than ov6r thu Impression that this was a
ghostly city that had been raised up in the
night , or that It may have been a deserted
city whence the citizens of sdino struugo
race had moved away to otticr shores.
Veiled In u Slmdotr of MIU.
The bases and columns of the surrounding
buildings wore softly distinct , but their
domes , towers and Hagstaffs were yet In the
cloundland. Even Columbia , In her ancient-
rigged ship out at the eastern edge of the
plaza , though relatively not high In the air ,
was in cloudland , as veritable goddesses aro.
Her handmaidens , straining at thu oars ,
wcro wet and dripping with the mists of the
morning , which chlelly constituted their rai
ment. Under the brow of Columbia's bark ,
stretching towark thu lake , the waters of
the grand basin were steely tiluo in their
hall light. Circling them abdut was their
setting of green turf between thu great
buildings of agriculture and manufactures.
Across tlio vistas , lakewurd. arose In deli
cate grill work the pillars of the colonnade.
under which the waters of the Iiika crept
Into the lagoons and basins.
Within her gyves of wooden scaffolds the
goddess of the republic at the lakoward end
of the srr.md basin rose up ponderous In her
might. Veiled she was by the curtain ,
which was so arranged that it would fall
away the moment the nation's president
should give the electric signal touch to open
to the world this great enterprise.
Towering above all tbo Administration
building dimly loomed. At Its front and
sloping upwards to the second story
stre.tchcd from side to sldo the grand stand ,
where dignitaries of the earth should later
sit.
Arrival of tlio Soldier * .
Between 7 nnd 8 o'clock , from somewhere
away oJT on the edge of the ground , the notes
of the band came softly through the misty
air. It was the first indication of stirring
scenes that should later occur in the great
plaza. The bugle notes wcro almost instantly
swallowed up In a burst of melody from thu
throats of brass instruments , carried by the
band of the Fifteenth regiment of infantry ,
ordered from Fort Sheridan for duty during
the day. Nearer came the strains of music
until , turning the Corner near the Transpor
tation building , the blue uniforms came in
sight , and behind the band-tOOrctrulars , car
rying each a musket on his shoulder. Lieu
tenant Colonel Overshlno was at their head ,
and led them to a position of rest along the
north sldo of the wall of Administration
building. Their muskets dropped with a
thud Into the soft mud , the sounds of other
bands nnd music was borne upon the air , and
soon tno Second regiment , National guards of
the state of Illinois , marched to position on
the south front Of the Administration build-
Ing.Meanwhile
Meanwhile , a loitering breuzulwd changed
the condition somewhat. The head of the
great supporting columns of thu building
had come to view ; the mists had lifted
ami the low dome on the Agricultural build
ing and the great figure of Diana , brought
from New York City , could bo discerned ,
pointing her arrow straight into the north
east. Away up " 00 feet on thu roof of the
Manufacturers building , the figures of n half
dozen men could bo seen , appearing like nnts
on an Iceberg , half concealed by mists and
half revealed against the dark iron work of
the structure.
Co in I UK of tlio Crowd.
Eastward in the sky the softening light
was growing. Somewhere In space the sun
was gaining power as the day Kr ° w older.
Then , soon after 9 o'clock , began the
incoming of the people , whoso great enter
prise had made the fair possible , at the
nortnorn entrance to the Administration
building , who found their way to seats In
dicated by their tickets upon the grand
stand. Rapidly the spuco there filled up.
The representatives of the press of the
country were huddled In pens upon the
ground level on cither side of the jutting
circle of platform. These quarters for the
lircss were protected against the crowds that
might come only by n slight wooden rail.
Meantime , the skies had again thickened ,
and whllo not obscuring absolutely , they
dimmed again the outlines of all the struct
ures round about. At 10 o'clock several
guards had placed upon the president's plat
form fi small square table , over which was
draped an American Hag. Two electric wires
were inserted from the floor and carried up
to the table. Upon the table was placed a
square , pyramidal stand , which was covered
with gold and plush. Up through this
little pyramid the electric wires were run ,
nnd were then adjusted to a golden telegraph
key , the button of which should bo pressed
by Mr. Cleveland ns a signal for the ma
chinery to start.
The diplomats of foreign powers had not
come to the opening In a body , but moro In
nn individual capacity. Down the broad
aisles of the grand stand a tall , white
haired man sought n place In front. It was
Huron Favu , Italian minister to the United
States. Fred Douglass next took a place ou
the stand. Minister Uomcro of Mexico
followed closely , and then , without particu
lar order or attendance , the consular corps
strolled down the aisles to their places.
At the base of the center flagstaff a man
in a white shirt , yellow sash and black
trousers took his position and seized the
ropes of the waiting Hag aloft. Two men
similarity attired laid bold of the ropes at
the other two staffs and there waited their
signal. Itupidly arriving trains and street
curs began to pour forth their freight at the
gates of the grounds.
Olevelnud'8 Kntriince.
Soon the entire space was black with
people , and when 11 o'clock had come the
spectacle thus presented was a notable ono.
Ton minutes later a great cheer went up
from these nt the rear of the grandstand ,
and white-haired Director General Davis
came up the main aisle side by sldo with
President Cleveland. As the familiar form
of the nation's executive was discovered
hats Hew in the air. shouts shook thu clouds
nnd echoed along tlio whllo facades of the
surrounding buildings. Hehlnd the president
came Secretaries Grcshum , Herbert , Smith
and Morton. Scarcely hud the party been
seated when a brilliant group of figures
appeared In sight and followed along the
aisle. The duke of Veragua and his party
wcro recognized instantly , and generous
shouts of welcome greeted them as they
sealed Ihemsolves u Ilttlo to the roar and
side of President Cleveland.
At twenty minutes pnst the hour the or
chestra , with a grand burst , opened the Co
lumbian march and rendered the hymn
which hail been , written by John Palno ;
then prayer by the blind chaplain of thu
house of representatives. The great space
of the plaza was now covered with people.
The bases of the lamp posts and oven the
buses ot the great columns and towers had
been climbed upon by eager sight seers.
Branching away to the loft and to the right
on either sldo of the basin the crowds extended -
tended away to the Manufacturers' building
and tha agricultural palaca , filling all the
standing room , and climbing up the mam
moth animal figures along the bridges.
-Men nnd Women ,
A llltlo before the president had been pro-
son ted , the sunlight came through , brighten.
Ing and warming tha entire scene. It was
during his speech that the shivering crowds
at ono tlma threatened , themselves with se
rious danger , and when women and mou
fainting nnd Insensible- were carried nwny by
officers and Hed Cross attendants.
Hut all that preceded had been tending up
to the culmination , which wns reached when ,
with the last wnrd of his speech , President
Cluvcland reached forth his .inn nnd pressed
down his forellnircr upon the button of the
golden electric key. At the Instant the dull
rumbling of machinery came to the ears of
thousands of the pcoplo from Machinery
hall. The man at tne base of the center
HagstafT uulckly released the American ban
ner , which ( lowed to the southwest , while
the corner flagstaffd and thu great banners
that lioro the arms of Caslllciund Arragon
were pulled and sprang aloft. Water gushed
from the great fountains nnd sprang aloft In
showers of spume. From every Hiigstaff'nnd
tower broke forth n lluttering bannerette.
Tlio revenue cutter opened Its whistles In
the basin and from the face of the statue of
the republic , near the .colonnade , fell away
the veil which had hidden her from view ,
nnd above all rose In the air the mighty roar
of i.HW.OOO voices , cheering the consummation
of their great enterprise and the turning
over to the people that which should now bo
theirs to study and enjoy.

Ciuc.voo , 111. , May 1. The participation of
the German empire lu thu inauguration of
the big fair was mi elaborate affair , which
must bo accredited to that country and to Its
representatives. The opening of the World's
Columbian exposition was celebrated by
Privy Councillor Wermuth , special German
commissioner , and his staff In grand style ,
worthy of the occasion of the memorable
day and in n manner thoroughly befitting
that potent state which ho has tno honor to
servo ana represent ; In fact , it was
a gala day for Germany at Jackson park.
At the moment Prealden Cleveland pushed
the button that sot the machinery In motion ,
the chimes In the chapel of Germany's rep
resentative building on the border of the
lake were broi'.Rlit Into action. These beau
tiful and melodious chimes arc exhibited by
no less a uerson than her imperial majesty ,
the empress of Germany , Augusta Victoria.
Tlio bells came from Grace church In Horlln ,
where they will bo removed after having
served their noble purpose in Deutschen
liausu In Jackson park.
On the platform amid the dignitaries of
tlio fair was Commissioner Wermuth and his
staff tlio whole body comprising forty-four
men-attracted little . Hirr

muth , in his gala uniform ns privy councillor
of the German ininlstory of the interior and
Assistant Commissioner Uoty Frunzberg In
a naval uniform of the Prussian I indwehr ,
were in sharp contrast with other members
of the commission in civic dress , a dis
tinguished body of men were tlio German
professors who constitute the commission In
charge of Germany's educational exhibit.
These gentlemen were attired in black robes
similar to thosu worn by the Judges of the
United States supreme court. The official
ceremony over. Commissioner Worniuth led
thu president of the United States around
thu Interior section of the German exhibit
in manufactures hull.
During the day thousands of visitors In
spected the Interior of the building , with its
Gothic halls and its artistic fresco paintings.
German military music was furnished by a
band of 100 musicians undlr the leadership
of Music Director Uusehwe.vh. Theori-hestra
also gave a hourly greeting to Pi esident
Cleveland when he arrived at the German
section in the Mahufaetiu-ers building.
After this they marched to the Gorman
state building in a body. The program was
very elaborate. Among other features the
Gurman-Amorlcaii World's fair chorus ,
under the direction of Mr. Katzenberger ,
earned the recognition of all the invited
guests for their magnificent rendition of thu
songs of thu Fatherland. A reception by
Commissioner Wermuth und a lui\eheon with
obligatory toasts to such to such of thu
World s Columbian exposition and the ex
hibitors was the suitable finale to the
worthy commcmortlon of the day on the
party of Germany on American soil.

The building is located at the end of State
nvenuo on thu lake shore and is a beautiful
structure , built to represent no particular
thing , but is a good production of the prairie
house. At thu cast end is a large exhibit
room which is decorated with agricultural
products. After the opening ceremony an
informal reception to Iowa dignitaries was
hold in the club room of the building.
Immediately to the loft of the model of the

exhibition was going on. Several months

different parts of the state to send him
samples of the soil in their localities. These
have come In tin cylinders six feet in length ,
showing the exact strata of the soil to that
