A sensation has been caused by the arfest at Albia, Iowa, of a woman who has for several months been supposed to bo a man. being employed on tho railroad as a laborer.

DULY DEDICATED.

Are the World's F&ir Building's at Chicago,

Scenes of the Great Event—'The Audience Ever Assembled Under One Roof— A Monster Celebration at Indianapolis.

The great white city at Jackson Park is now the property of- the nation. In the presence of the greatest audience that has oyer assembled under ono roof in the history of the universe—for the Coliseum ol Rome was open to the sky—an audience stupendous, astounding, overt* hslming, nay, more, absolutely appalling in its immensity, tho structure designed for the World's Columbian Exposition in commemoration of the quadri-centennial of the discovery of this continent by Christopher Columbus, were formally tendered to the World's Columbian commission and accepted by the Vice-President of the United States in behalf of the Republic Mind connot conceive nor eye picture the scenes presented Friday afternoon, when the tall form and benign features of th® representative of the administration appeared upon the edge of tho rostrum and faced the multitude. The painter has not ,yet been born whose brush and palette could do justice to the moment. Nearly two hundred thousand souls—men from •the work shops in home-spun garments men who live in omarble palace8 and measures their wealth in many millions beautiful women, the pick and pride of the belledom of tho Soth cand the North women whose days are full of toil, and who came with their infants in their arms, that their eye8 might look upon a sceno the like of which may never again be repeated men of many climes whose names are indissolubly linked with the "world of diplomacy princes of the church, the representatives of the classes and of tho masses—a tfifth of a million of them, carried away by the enthusiasm, tho sublimity of the occasion and the hour, and as with one mind and one voice paying tribute to the Na" tion in extending a welcome to its Vice President. Such a roar of applause, start. Ing simultaneously in the far off comers of the vast structure and sweeping down toward the center like a tidal wave, such a stamping of countless thousands of feet, such a waving of white handkerchiefs^ tintil it seemed as though monster snowflakes were quivering in the air over every head, the patriotic impulses of seventy millions of people finding vent through their cho?oa representatives, a paean of triuipph over the successful inauguration of a stupendous National enterprise and amid such a sceno was the marvelous achievements of little more than a twelvemonth dedicated to the progress in art, in science, in agriculture, in manufactures, in humanity of the old world and of tho new.

The parade, as a popular spectacle, was disappointing because of the shortness of the route and the distance from popular centers. In itself the demonstration of military precision and discipline was all that could bs desired. The feature of tho day lay not, how ever, in tho military display as such, but tho great center of interest and wonder was the vast building in which the dedication ceremonies occurred. The far reach of walled and roofed space, with nearly 200,000 people moving, swaying, seated and finally silent were impressive to a degree not hospitable to marching processions. Tho spectacle of nearly six thousand people, half of whom were children, congregated in the stand of the singers was in itself a display uncommon. And when on their feet, led by full orchestra and accompanied by two brass bands, these six thousand throat? lifted up songs of patriotic spirit and hymns to tho Creator of all men and things, there came into ail properly con" stituted hearts a thrill that is good for mon to feel. There came, too, with this volume of melody, softened by space and distance, a wetness to the eyes and a quiver to the lip, which does credit to men, not less than to women. When, too, with the thousands upon thousands of waiting spectators turning their white faces upward toward the executive official as he came upon the platform, these six thousand singers in their elevatod place, fluttered aloft each a white handkerchief of a silken banner, there came a new sensa. tion to those who witnessed it

The spectacle of a railway president and orator of the day chatting in a genial mood with the highest prelate of tho Catholic Church in America wa? in harmony with the spirit of the occasion. The respectful attention of Cardinal Gibbons whilo Bishop Fowler, of the Methodist Church, offered prayer seemed in tun with the time, and when tho Cardinal, in his crimson robes, lifted UD his voice in deep devotion to God, tho Methodist Bishop and others of various sects in turn lent to him thfir respectful attentionThe sterling sentiments uttered in th* oration by Mr. Watterson challenged almost at his every breath applause from his hearers. There was in it the ring of the nineteenth century and the spirit and token of the newer times in wnich tho people stand with their faces toward the morning of progress and light. As was said by Gen. Palmer, should there never bean exhibit in the great hall, humankind, by witnessing the achievements of men, would have groater respect for Us fallows and for its Creator.

We regret that space will not permit us giving any part of the speeches of Mr. Morton, Mr. Depew nor Mr. Watterson, nor the Columbian ode.

AT INDIANAPOLIS.

The celebration of Columbia Day at In' dianapolls, Friday, was the greatest spectacle Indiana has ever witnessed. The parade, consisting of military.civic, secret and religious societies required more than two hours to pass a given point, marching rapidly in platoons of from ten to, fifteen abreast. This was followed by floats representing various pursuits. Hundreds of thousands of people lined the street, and not an unpleasaut occurrence marred the celebration. At night another very fino display was made, consisting principally of floats and fireworks, the floats representing different periods or epochs in the history of the country from Its discovery down to the present time. The crowds on the streets were even greater than in the afternoon. Washington street was literally packed from one side to the other. The decorations of the eity #ere the finest and trtut elaborate ever seea here.

DEATH OF MRS. HARBISON-

The President's "Wife Succumbs seas to the Fell Destroyer.

Her Life Slowly Ebbed Away—The Presldene in Constant Attendance at "Her Bedside.

iiSiiii

Mrs. Harrison, wife of the President, died at the Whito House at 1:40 u. m., Tuesday,- Oct. 25. Mrs. Harrison met death with the patience and resignation of a devout Christian, and her last days were* comparatively free from pain. For twentv*our hours the President and family had been almost constantly at her bedside awaiting the end. Monday night was without special incident, -but late and early—so frequently that he could have slept but Jittle at all—the President was in and out of the sick chamber, and was never away any length of time.

All day long the physician and patient combatted death. At midnight the physician gave the family some hope. A half-

MRS. HARBISON.

hour later a change had taken place, and he announced that she could hardly survive longer than a half-hour.

Tho agitation of the family could no longer be controlled, and realizing his utter helplessness to longer cope with his formidable foe, and from consideration for the sacredness of such grief as this, tho devoted physician and friend bowed his head and i-assed out of the door. Outside of tho threshold he look his stand and waited. It was not along time. The minutes flew like seconds, and suddenly there was an expression of heart stricken woe# and the end had come.

The President was beside his dying wife, as be had been for nine hours continuously. and his was the last of the loved features her eyes dwelt upon. Her breath was labored and very slow. As tho hands of tlie clock crept toward the next hour it grew fainter yet, and whon the timepiece marked the hour of 1:40 o'clock there was an interruption of the foable breath, a resumption and then a stop, this time to bo eternal, and the life of Caroline Kcott Harrison had gone out peacefully, and quietly, and without pain.

All of the family in Washington

The funeral arrangements were completed as follows: Religious service will be held at the White House Wednesday morning, after which the remains will be taken to Indianapolis, where tho interment will be made at Crown Hill Cemetery Thursday.

Services will be held in the First Presbyterian Church, and from there tho funeral cortege will proceed to Crown Hill.

Mrs. Harrison was the daughter of RevJohn D. W. Scott, a Presbyterian divine, President of the Oxford, O., Female College, and was born Oct. 1, 1832. While in attendance at 4bis College as a student many years after, Benjamin Harrison met and loved Caroline Lovinia Scott. In 1853f Oct. 20, he married Miss Scott, and a happy wedded life has been theirs to enjoy. In 1854 they removed to Indianapolis. Aug. 12, 1854 a son, Russell Harrison, was born to the couple. In 1856 a daughter blessed the union.

In 1831 General Harrison entered tho Senate of the United States, and Mrs. Harrison became a member of a distinguished circle, the wives of Senators. In her Washington residence of six years Mrs. Harrison extended her sphere of usedullness.

vHer

name was associated with

noble charities and church work. The Garfield hospital owes its present success in a large degree to her active interest as one of its first director.

In appearance Mrs. Harrison was a typo of matronly beauty. In figure she showed the generosity of nature, and in mind nature's equal beneflclence, expanded by training in the acquirements of a liberal education, drawn from the broadest opportunities. A lavish growth of hair, silvered with the threads of a little over a half century of life, ajtd floating in curly waves over a welL-»h ipad head and end

ing in a graceful coil, her regular features aud dark, expressive eyes formed a picture of ripened wouiauhood. She had a voice softened bythelnstincts of a gentle nuturo. and a gift of conversation which, while animated, was thoughtful.

The tastes of Mrs. Harrison were in the direction of art. Her worss in water colors are the evidences of her gifts and application to her favorite recreation. Mrs. Harrison was by nature strongly domestic and shrank from notoriety. These traits were little, if at all, modified by her residence in tho Whito House and her proud position as the first lady of the land. For her friends she had always a generous welcome, but she did not relish tho scrutiny of tho critical and coldly curious, although this she was perforce, from her position, obliged to endure. She was always equal to every social demand, and by her winning manner and sympathetic utterances retained an unusually large number of warm friendships. But the calls of society were with her second in importance to tlie demands and duties of a wife, mother and daughter, and it was in the domestic sphere that she shone with the brightest light. She wished everybody around her to bo happy, and to that end she gave her best etlorts. She desired to earn and keep the love of her family and her personal friends, so her goodness, sympathy and strong home instincts were dominant characteristics.

A. MOOD OF THE HARBCR.

Its Aspect at Early Morning as Seen by the Few Folks Then Stirring.

Now York Sun.

T*?j*e

present' at the death bed except the fchree little grandchildren and tho venerable Dr. Scott, the father of Mrs. Harrison. They were President Harrison, Mr. and Mrs. McKee, Mr, and Mrs. Russell Harrison, Lieutenant and Mrs. Parker, Mrs* Dimmick and Mrs. Newcomer, In addition. Mrs. Harrison's faithful maid Josephine and Miss Davis, the trained nurse, were in the room. Tho members of the family spent a few moments around the lifeless clay, and let a veil be drawn over their deep grief. When they emerged with sorrowful faces, tho President retired immediately to his own room and closed his door. The other members of the family, respecting his evident wish, allowed him to remain unmolested to contemplate his great bereavement and commune with his Maker. They also retired and gavo place to Dr. Gardner. One glance of his eye told tho story, and he knew that science had once again yielded to nature, and that all of man's efforts have been in vain. Ho passed out and then the last sad offices for the dead were performed by the nurse. Miss Davis, who composed tho remains for tho hands of the undertaker. Tho doctor went homo, the last of tho many questions put by the lot of newspaper mon were answered by Mr. Halford, the lights were dimmed.and the quiet of the grave lay upon the great white mansion.

Although New York ha3 succeeded in transforming most of this once green islo into a stony desert, the city has in vain essayed to expel nature from the noble and beautiful harbor. The restless waters fit into themselves whatever is built upon their shores. A formal granite dock is decorated with beautiful sea vegetation the stiffly aligned spiles of a prosaic ferry slip are hammered into graceful curves by the patient waves and glorified by sunrise, sunset and moonlight a massive bridge is etherealized into a wire-woven miracle of the heavens, and the ugliest of utilitarian craft are made beautiful in certain moods of the changeful harbor.

The harbor is above all a thing of moods. Each of these moods are charming, but the least charming are those most familiar to the mass of New Yorkers. Perhaps the harbor's most, delightful and elusive mood is that of the early morning hours, when the triple city sleeps its uneasy sleep and even the monotonous roar of Broadway is stilled so that the rattle of a single truck seems a noisy impertinence. The sun is still hic.den behind the Long Island hills, Fifth avenue is a wan, gray waste, bare to the colorless sky, but expectant of the coming throngs, and the faithful purveyors of many thousand breakfasts are making their hurried rounds with a din that seems an insult to the otherwise silent and empty streets. There is everywhere the refreshing coolness that" breathes out of open cellar ways on hot summer noons. The work-a-day world stirs uneasily in its sleep. Here and there a man shuts a street door with an echoing bang, hastens down his stoop and hastens toward business. Ferryboats bear a few workmen with dinner pails, cutty pipes and upturned coat collars. The chill morning air that overhangs the water evolves a wavering plume of vapor about the nostrils of every breathing creature. Men are dumb with the memory of sleep or the anticipatory burden of business. There is a cold light upon the water beneath the slightly lifted mist, and a belated star finds moist reflection here and there. At rare intervals the bowed back of a porpoise shows among the waves like the edge of an oxidized silver dish.

Staten Island is a long bank low on the horizon. The trees of Governor's Island, a tangle of mist in their branches, show like gigantic cotton balls. The great bridge, airily poised aloft, looks like the creation of spiders over night, and the moving speck of the train might be the insect architect who wrought this marvel of grace. So strong is the illusion of insect lacework that one is half prepared to see revealed by the rising sun a my rid of dewdrops on the seeming tenuous warp.

Liberty's torch is quenched in miSt but the red and green light of the nearer ships show pale and strange in the dawn. Somewhere out of the fog comes the husky toot of a salt water craft, and presently there looms large the crab-like form of a ferryboat from some point on Long Island, its deeks peopled with pale faces, that seem to look from a single garment of gloom, so dull is the general clothing and so little are individual figures differentiated. Far down the bay is a mysterious region of fog, whence is thrust out here and there mast or spar or keen black bow. Far up the Hudson is a more populous fog, thridded with moving objects, and soon tinged with the fire of dawn. Soon at the broadest space between Staten Island and the Battery a splendor burns through the fog, and outlined in black against the red of the new risen sun are the top masts and tenuous spars of an old fashioned man-of-war. The truth and the secret of Turner's dusky splendors are revealed in the glorified mist and gilded spars of the bay. Beyond the furthest ship, where mist and fog are still intrenched, one imagines the hidden white caps.

Further on the fog is burned away by a consuming fire, and lo! where before was one ship are twenty ferryboats by the score have begun to weave their intricate woof, linking the tributary towns to the island of Manhattan every visible elevated railway stairway is pouriug an inky river of humanity into the streets a fresh wind is stirring the grepn and crimson and golden leaves of Battery Park the noble facade of the Produce Exchange is outlined against a perfect sky, and New York is awake to the glories of an autumnal d^y.

Legislation like that we, ai now-Gon^VoH^gL^v^f? is a departure from the long established and approved practice in this Stato. It is plainly in contrast with tho organic law, and is, for that reason, void."
