FOURTH AT THE FAIR

How Independence Day Was Celebrated at Jackson Park.

A5 EN0R0M0DS CROWD IS PRESENT.

Patriotic Ceremonies, Speeches And Con* certs interesting Sceues on th« Plalsanee—Gorgeous Display of Fireworks.

A BEMA.TtlU.BLK CELEBRATION. CmiaAQo, July 5.—The turnstiles at Jackson park on the Fourth showed that 874,917 persons paid for admission tc witness the grandest celebration of

Independence day th6t was ever hold. Daybreak was announced by the booming of cannon across the waters from the revenue cutter Mlohigan. This was answered by a salute from the British battery on the shore. By 7 o'olock the city began moving falrward. By 8 the vanguard had formed in line at every ticket booth en the western edge of the park: The booths opened on the click of 8 and the inward rush began. From then until nearly thirteen hours later there was no ena to the tramping army that came to contribute to the suooess at

the oelebration. The grand stand and speakers' platform were built just east of thu terminal station. On either side sat half the chorus of 2,000 voices. As early as 0 o'clock people were sitting just eutalde the heavy ropes strotched before the stand, and an hour later so veral thousand patient men and women occupied the little red folding ohairs. Two bands In the terminal station alternated in playing patriotic airs for an hour before the exerolses began on the platform. Every few minutes the yellow express trains brocjht crowds of people to the turnstiles ef the station.

Opening of the Exercises.

At 11 o'clock the vast square was erowded and all the surrounding galleries filled. At that hour the band eame upon the platform and opened the ceremonies with a medley of Amerioan airs, beginning with "Rail Columbia" and ending with "Yankee Doodle." Soon after Mayor Harrison and the city aldermen filed through the erowd to the stand. Vice President Stevenson was enthuslastilly welcomed.

Testing the Wire.

In the center of the platform, just baok of the speakers' stand, was a table draped with the American flag. It •erved a double purpose, for besides lte office as a desk for Director Oeneral Davis, president of the exercises, it held a Morse telegraph key. From it dlreot yrlro led to tho bell foundry at Troy, N. Y. Just before the presiding officer took his seat Operator Frank A. Hemphill oalled up Albany and was answered with an "0. K." from Operator Thomas F. Gary.

Tho Speaking.

It was almost 11:80 o'clock when Director General Davis rapped long and loud for order. He made no speech, but si in ply introduced Rev. Dr. Canfleld, who made the opening prayer. At its conclusion Vice President Stevenson delivered an address. While he was speaking Silas G. Pratt, the leader of the chorus, was preparing his 2,000 singers for the next thing on tho programme. The chorus was divided in four parts, each with a leader. Mr. Pratt stood upon a chair at the end of Mr. Stevenson's speech and indicated tho time for singers 500 feet away. At the signal the band struck up "Columbia, the Gem of the Ocean." When it came to the ahorue the crowd, joined in and "Hurrah for the red, white and blue" came with a will.

The Rotating of the Flags.

Promptly at 12 o'clock Mayor Harrison gave the signal and Mrs. Madge Morris Wagner, of California, a lineal descendant of the man who took the old liberty bell from Philadelphia to Alleutown, Pa., in 1777, when the English threatened Philadelphia, aud Miss Minnie F. Miokley, of Micklcys, Pa., touched the key which sent word to Troy that it was noon in Chicago. At the same instant the Paul Jones flag and the flag of universal peace were hoisted. Between them stood Mayor Harrison with Andrew Jackson's sword in one hand and the flowers from Jefferson's tomb in the other. Cannon boqmed OD the lake and the mocking-bird whistle sounded in unison with the hoarse notes of deeper-toned steam whistles. The little flags flutterel in the crowd, handkerchiefs and hats waved and the roar of thousands of voices swelled the ovation. When the tumult died away Mayor Harrison spoke briefly.

Hampton L. Carson, of Philadelphia, followed Mayor Harrison. He delivered the oration of the day, "Tho Old and the New Liberty Bolls."

New Proclamation of Ll'^rty, While he wae speaking th*. following telegram to Maj. W. O. McU iwell from the office of the Clinton H. Meneely Bell company, Troy, N. Y., was reoeived by the operator on the platform:

The Columbian liberty bell tu sounded the Instant you touohed the button at noon of thlt grand Independence day sod this ringing was followed by the playing of national and patriotic airs on the grand chime made by us for 8t Patrick's cathedral, New York city. Thousands upon thousands of patrlotlo citizen, have oallod to see this historic bell, many oomlng long distances The glorious day, bright and dear, seoms to have bees greeted as a speolal favor to liberty lovers. You can announce to the 250,000 friends who have made sueh splendid offertugs to this bell that their gifts have orystalllied Into grand form and that the new liberty bell has been set ringing to aid peace and good will throughout the wbole world. "CLINTON H. MIHIKLY."

James S. Norton, of Chicago, was the last speaker. The rain was falling briskly, but no one seemed to mind It. After his address Mr. Norton read the declaration of independence.

Everybody Sings.

The exercises closed with everybody singing "My Country, 'Tis of Thee" and the "Doxology," not, however, before Mayor Harrison had called for "Three cheers for America." It was a real old-fashioned never-to-b -forgotten Fourth of July cheer that broke the clouds and brought out the sun for the first time

during the day. When it died down the band struck' up tho "Suwanee Biver," and the crowd joined in. This was followed by other songs of like character, and 'or an hour the impromptu oonoert oontiaucd.

Afternoon and Night.

More than a dozen different concerts were in progress during the afternoon, Including one by the exposition orchestra in Festival hall. There was another patriotio assemblage in the grand court at 6 o'clock, and then came the glories of the night In the buildings many of the American exhibitors had draped their displays with bunting and the government buildings were decorated elaborately, but comparatively few made tours of inspection through the struotures, for which reason much of the decorative effect was not appreciated properly. The usual Illumination of the court of honor was given and was thoroughly enjoyed by all.

The Fireworks.

Fully 100,000 people gathered along the plaza between the Manufactures building and the lake to witness the pyrotechnic display, which began promptly at 0 o'clock. Search lights on the battleships and surrounding buildings threw their strong rays everywhere. At 9 o'clock a large hot-air balloon, to which dangled a big and sputtering fuse, rose from in front of the Government building. Sailing majestically out over the lake at a height of 1,000 feet the fuse suddenly burst with a loud report, and from it there dangled the American flag floating in the heavens, every stripe and star marked in blazing perfection. Then aroee a mighty eheer from 150,000 throats, while the whistles of tho 100 or more steam vessels anchored out on the lake added to the noise. When the stars and stripes faded away toward the Michigan sands the display along shore and on the barges became delirious. The rockets and bombs swished upward a dozen at a time.

Three large wheels whirled in designs of woven gold away out in the lake. Nearer shore the water was full of floating things that hissed as they threw out fountains of live sparks. Then there were three large fountains, one 80 feet high, whioh tossed little spit-devils tbat out somersaults in the air.

Tho Masterpiece of Fire.

Then came the master-stroke, a set piece against the peristyle. George Washington, in massive proportions, had laurel wreaths drooped over his head. The letters spelled: "First in war, first in peace, first in the hearts of his eountry men." When it appeared the patient thousands cheered again and all the boats lying off shore opened their noisy whistles. By that time the people were starting home and a few goodnight rockets went up as'they began the awful crush toward the gates.

In Midway Plaisance.

It was a unique spectacle which the Midway Plalsance presented to Fourth of July sightseers—a spectacle which never before was and never again may bo seen in this country. The queer people of the Plaisance had their own celebration. The avenue was decorated with a continuous row of steamers, flags and lanterns on each side, and every turret, dome and minaret was gay with little streamers.

About noon a long cavalcade of Bedouins, the Wild East show, mounted on camels and spirited horses, gayly caparisoned, moved toward the west end of the plaisance. They were followed shortly by a procession of Turks with tho star and crescent intermingled with the stars and stripes. vigorous pounding of drums announced a deleg ation of donkey boys, swordsmen, jugglers, wrestlers and dancers, as well as bronzed Soudanese from the Cairo street. Richly robed Chinese followed them and then Dahomeyites with their wild music. A"" procession of painted stolid Pottawatomics stalked along in a dignified manner uttering occasional whoops. After the queer people had takes their stations in the open grounds at the west end the Tattersall British artillery came galloping in just on the edge of noon. At IS o'clock the stars and stripe.' were unfurled from a lofty pole to the salute oftthe British artillery. The various nationalities vigorously cheered in a score of tongues, and fifes, drums, tomtoms and gong* saluted the stars and stripes.

Then there ww silcnce for a moment and a Mohammedan priest in gorgeous robes made a prayer with sonorous voice to the accompaniment of amens as fer^erently uttered as if it were a camp-meeting. Commissioner Burton, the orator of the day, made a short cosmopolitan speech of welcome. Those who could understand were too far away to hear and those who were near enough to hear could not understand, but at signals from an Interpreter they punctuated the speech with applause in the right place as lustily as an American audicnce would have done, and at the close they cheered the flag and the speaker in en thusiastic Orients! fashion. A band on the stand played patriotic airs, but the interest of the audie*oe was centered In the monotonous and wailing minora of the Orientals and their incessant drum-pounding. During the address the rain began falling and the ceremony was brought to an abrupt close, it was witnessed by an immense throng of people, and as a spectacle was unique. Such a Fourth of July has not been celebrated in this country since it achieved its independence, and such a congregation of strange nationalities may never get together again on the liberty anniversary.

States Celebrate.

The crowd did not confine itself to the exhibit buildings, but spread all over the north, end of the park, and fairly jammed the state buildings as well. In all of these they found enough to entertain them, and in some of them extra attractions were provided.

THE CALL FOR THEIR CONVENTION.

President Warner's Statement of What the League Expects to Accomplish— Hopes of Bllverltos Centered

In the Senate.

CALL FOB SILVER MEN.

WASHINGTON, July 5.—The following call for a national convention of the American Bimetallic league, signed by A. J. Warner, president, and W. M. Barrington, secretary, was issued from the national headquarters of the league Tuesday afternoon: "The culmination ef evebts of the greatest moment to the people of this oountry calls for wis. council and determined action en the part of all patriotic cltltens. A concerted purpose Is manifest to seize upon tl,G present opportunity to destroy silver as money and to establish finally and forever the single gold standard, and at one stroke to ohangn all debts to gold debts, with a never-ending rise of gold and fall of price* "A financial disturbance, largely artificial and needless, has been created as an 'object lesson,' and falsely attributed to the present silver law, In order out of It to create a manifestation of publlo ser.tlinsnt, under cover of which the greater crime of overthrowing the money of the constitution and sstabllshlng the single gold standard may b* consummated. AD a part of the same great conspiracy the mints of India have been olosod, and the shock felt around the world. "Congress has been called to meet In extra session on August T. It at this session the money standard of the constitution is overthrown and the single geld standard Is finally established, to be extended over the world, an economic revolution will have been Inaugurated more disastrous to the welfare of mankind, and especially te the producing and laboring classes, than any in the history of the world.

To Meet In Chicago.

"In view, therefore, of the threatening conditions that have arisen and In answer to numerous appeals for action the executive coco, mltteeof the American Bimetallic league has deemed It proper to call a national convention, te be held at Chicago beginning August 1 and to continue as long as tho convention may direct "All members of the league are urged to at. tend, and all who are In favor of maintaining the money of the constitution and opposed to the establishment of the single gold standard In the United States without regard to party are Invited to attend and participate In the deliberations of the convention. All economic associations and all industrial organisations are requested to send delegates to this convention. A speolal Invitation Is extended to membors of oongress and members of state legislature*. Governors of states are requested to appoint as many delegates as they may deem proper."

The idea of the silver people is to meet at Chicago and adjourn to Washington. Here the convention will reassemble at about the time when congress convenes and will probably continue in session until after the organization of that body.

Gen. Warner's Statement.

Gen. Warner made the following statement Tuesday evening: "A thorough pell of the silver forces establishes the fact that tho Sherman law cannot bo repealed without a substitution which Kill bo satisfactory ta the sllverltes. This canvass of strength has been In progress slnoo the day after the Issuance of the president's proclamation. It has been pushed actively by means of personal consultation, mall and telegraphlo communication. When the canvass was begun the Ilrst effect ef the antl-sllver bkvir was still felt,, and there was a manliest fear on the part of the silver men that the Sherman law world be repealed. Gradually this fear gave way t. hope, and In turn this has been supplanted by defiance."

This statement of Gen. Warner reflects the sentiments of the free silver men here, and there can bo no doubt that within the last twenty-four hours they have gained renewed confidence in the belief that the Sherman act cannot be repealed without giving the silverites something equally as good or better. This hope is in the senate, and they boldly announce that they will never give up the Sherman law unless they oan be conciliated with a measure that is more friendly to silver. With the determination of such men to repeal the present law may be a difficult mutter.

A FAMILY DROWNED.

BUZZARD'S BAY, Mass., July 5.—Mrs. Cleveluud announced to the press representatives Tuesday morning that she had received word from President Cleveland that the party was safe and in excellent health, and that they would cruise slowly along and reach Gray Gables in a day or two.
