LIBERTY’S LIGHT.

Unveiling of Bartholdi’s Colossal Statue at New York. A Gala Day In the Metropolis— A Parade With 30,000 Soldiers and Civilians in Line, Reviewed By the President, Members of His Cabinet and Our French Visitors. The Naval Parade, Ceremonies of the lsl. and and Final Winding Up With a Grand Pyroteehnle Display—The Statue and its Dimensions. Nkw York, Oct. 28.—The rain, which fell almost continuously for thirty-six hours, did not cease until about daylight this morning. The sky did not clear, however, and the thousands of anxious sightseers who begau to pour into the streets at an early hour met a damp, foggy atmosphere, which threatened a renewal of rain at any moment. The storm greatly Interfered with the work on Bedloe’s Island yesterday, but as little was left to do, it did not matter very much whether it rained or not. The workmen tore down the old, narrow steps that led up the embankment and replaced them with a wider and more substantial stairway. Thmr also laid a broad wooden walk leading to the ground entrance to the front 1 1 of the fort. The plat

jin in tutu Jins stuou in one of thp north* yf western angles of the r inclosure was remov^*cd and the platform I for the speakers | made ready for their ' reception. A handI some slik French flag wifi be pla.ced over the face of the statue. A At a word from Fres- "" ident Cleveland it

' win oe drawn, unventhk kack. ins the head ol the goddess. Between 8 and 9 o’clock all thoroughfares showed signs of unusual activity. All trains were crowded to their utmost capacity with people hurrying to advantageous points to view the grand procession. In the vicinity of Fifth avenue and Filty-seveuth street, the point at which the procession was to form, all was bustle and commotion as early as eight o’clock. Civic and military companies arrived faster than they could be assigned to their proper places. At a few minutes past ton o’clock the head of the column began to move down Fifth avenue, led by the Fifth United States Artillery and Military Band. Then followed the United States Naval brigade, Uultfed States Army brigade, Second regiment New Jersey National Guard and a detachment of Massachusetts volunteer militia. These composed the first division. The second division was led by Gilmore’s famous band. Then followed the First Brigade, N. G. S. N. Y., acting as escort to the French column. The Freach column contained the Soclete Colmarienne; Union Alsactenne; Societe Alsace-Loiaine; Mardl Gras Association; Soclete Do Philanthropic; Union Chorale De Newarks; Union Francaise, of Elizabeth; Le Prevyame, of Boston; L* Anutie, of New York; Le Soclete Cnlinaire Cosmopolite; L’ Helvetienue; L’ Alliance and I. Union Fraternelle. Then came another fine band of music, which was followed by nearly a dozen more French societies. Behind the Frenchmen came the United States Judges and other high officials of the Untied States in carriages, and Governors of States and Territories and other high dignitaries, also in carri age%wtrbt> rbiight up the rear of the secoudiJivlston. The third dtvlsloiK was headed by Sheriff Grant as mpfshal, aud was comprised of mayors of cities; a battalion of Philadelphia police; Brooklyn police; veterans of the war of 1812; veterans of the Mexican war, and the military order of the Loyal Legion. The fourth, fifth and sixth divisions were composed of military organizations. Then came the educational division; then more military; Washington’s carriage, drawn by nine horses, escorted by the i Continental Guard of Washington, and the old Washington Continental Guard, mounted. Firemen, Kulghts of Pythias aud other organizations all helped to make up the other four divisions. As this brilliant column passed down Fifth avenue it was received by the enormous crowds, which flanked it on either side with mighty cheers As the procession approached the reviewing stand at Madison Square, where President Cleveland and members of his Cabinet were in waiting, a slight drizzle of rain began falling, not enough, however, to disturb the crowd or spoil the spectacle. After passing through Madison Square the column moved on down Fifth Avenue to Washington Square, where it turned

into Broadway, thence down Broadway to the open space behind the post-office, called Mall street, into Bark Row under the triumphal arch In front of the World office, and back Into Broadway. This detour was more In order to pay a compliment to the enterprise of the World, In raisins the sum necessary for raising Bartholdi’s great work. From Bark Row the route was again dowu Broadway to Courtlandt street and Malden Lane, where most of the military, turning to right or left, made their way to the river. — The head of the processiou reached the City Hall at noon. At the same time, whenever the music of the bands ceased, the chimes of Trinity Church could be heard playing National airs of France and America. 1‘resident Cleveland, accompanied b^' Secretary Bayard, drove to the reviewing stand at Madison square. He was followed by Secretaries Whitney, VB.sa ta.i\ Lamar and Colonel Lamont. After leaving Broadway at Cortlandt street and Malden Lane, nearly all the military and civic companies made their wav homeward. At this hour hour (1:1a p. m.), the procession is still wending its way past the United Bress office, 187 Broadway, having been over an hour In progress. All the vessels in North river are gailv decorated with flags, the Great Atlantic liners being particularly noticeable as they lay at their docks, one mass ol color alolt. The naval parade, which forms another marked feature of the day, was set for one o’clock. The sound of the preparatory gun, which should have been tired at 18:45 p. m., was not heard until one o’clock, and there was considerable delay In getting the vessels which were to take part into line. Twenty minutes later the signal for tho start was given, and the vessels moved slowiv in double line from Forty-tlfth street down North river, past a fleet of war vessels, toward Liberty Island. This procession was in charge of Lieutenant-Commander Rich, and consisted of two divisions. The llrst division was headed by the United States coast survey steamer Gedney, and consisted of all the larger vessels. The second divisions consisted of tugs and miscellane. ous cralt of all descriptions. The vessels presented a beautiful sight as they steamed down the Hudson. On reaching Liberty Island, they passed astern of the mau-of-war anchored below the islaud then up between them aud the island, till they came to abreast of the statue head on tide, where they remained at anchor until the end ol the ceremonies at that point. The crowd in Mad

Ison Square when the \ President reached the f reviewing stand was vast; the streets were choked up and ?'p Broadway was clog- | ged with vehicles and ■ cars above and below the intersection of the line of march. Whan 11 til

M. surtholdi. mounted theplaUorm he was cheered, but wheu Bartholdi, the sculptor, appeared and was easily recognized by the mass, who had Seen his portrait on programmes and in the illustrated pa|>ers, a shout went up from those nearest the stand. The cry of “Bartholdi” was then caught up by both the reviewing and grand stands. The crowds on the avenue curbings up and down heard the name and passed it to the people in the pafk ami side streets until the heavy air was shakeu with a roar of cheering that must have gladdened the heart of the Alsatian, who bowed his acknowledgments. And then, in carriages driven to the rear of the stand, came Mr. Cleveland and his party. Instantly he was recognized, and again the crowds shook the welkin with their shouts, and from the housetops and windows of hotels came shouts and sounds of clapping hands to swell the sound that like a wave broke over the park and flowed down the streets and along the avenue, where, in the misty distance, the trappings and pomp of the head of the column was seen moving. The Signal Service operator at the Twenty-eighth Street .station made known the fact to the throngs by a waving flag, and the pressure increased toward the avenue and the people became packed more closely if it were possible.

The failure of Congress to provide money for a fitting display of fireworks on the occasion of the unveiling of the great statue ted Mr. Clews and tho other gentlemen named to agree to fumlsli the uecessary money provided the displays be given by James Fain, of Manhattan Beach, under the direction of the New York IFbrM. When Mr. Pain was spoken to 4n regard to the matter he generously offered to double whatever sura was raised by the patriot!** friends of the statue and give a programme that would fullv realize their expectations. The ground had been gone over by an agent ol Mr. Paiu, and no trouble or expense was spared to make the displays the grandest ever witnessed In this couutry. The vast materials for the fireworks had been specially prepared for this occasion by Mr. Pain, aud several new effects In pyrotechnics were Introduced. The displays were begun with the lighting of the great torch for the first time', and were given simultaneoualy on Liberty and Governor’s Islands, Including some sixty separate pyrotechnic pieces. With slight variations ttse fireworks were the same on Liberty island and in front of old Castle William, on Governor's island, and were set off by maroon signals from tho statue. The displays were largely

ible from all parts of the harbor, although the best positions were the Battery and Brooklyn Bridge, or from the decks of exenrsion steamers midway between t(je two islands. The war ships wete anchored about Liberty Island, the French men-of war on tlie north and • the American squad

Brilliant calcium lights burned irotu the extremities of the yards and fore and aft on deck, while the men stationed in the rlggingaud along the decks were supplied with colored tire. The displays on the tnen-of-war took place at intervals. General Scholleld had given orders for a Die of one hundred

arranged that the French colors were given first, followed by the red, white and blue of the American ensign. This change of national' colors was repeated several times and ended with a variegated display of colored fires. After this the salute given by the Board of Aldermen was fired at the Battery. THK STATVB. The famous statue, by Bartholdi, of “Liberty Enlightening the World” was received at New York, June 2t>, 1885. The French vessel Isere, with the statue on board, was escorted up the bay to Bedloe’a. Island by a number of United feates men-of-war and other vessels. The Matue stands on Bedloe’s Island—hereafter to be kuown as Liberty Island. At the entrance to New York harbor, Bartholdi, it is said, conceived the idea of rearing a colossal statue to synypolize America’s message of liberty to the world white salting up New York bay on his visit to this country in 1871, with heart depressed at the ruin and wretchedness in his native land after her defeat bv Germany. Ou his return to France lie suggested to his friends fits idea of such a statue to be presented by tiie French nation to the United States. The idea was received with great favor, and so rapidly did subscriptions come in that tn 1876 the sculptor began work upon his great statue. M. Bartholdi supervised every step of the work which was not only A 7

I bn: one full oi difficulty and detail The ! tyrst steps toward Its Construction were jmado in 1874, when The French-American muon was established, a banquet given and an appeal made to the people of France. In 1876 the sculptor began actual wort. First the artist made his model in clay, and when this was annroved a Blaster

statue was made; In f w dimensions It was 1 one-sixteenth thesize T,,i4 'orcii. ot the intended statue. Another plaster statue four times as large as the first, and a third one, of the lull dimensions of the finished work were made. The last mode! had to be made in sections, anti a wooden frame-work was constructed on which the plaster was spread. When these sections were completed, wooden models were used, exact copies of the plaster in size anti modeling. These were carefully cut out by hand, aud lu them were shaped the hammered brass work which lorms the outside of the statue. Eighty-eight tons ol brass were used In the structure, and the entire weight of the statue is 450,000 pounds. In 1876 M. Bartholdi, with the extended right arm of the statue—the first part that was completed—came to America and placed the arm and torch in the Centennial ExlnoiUon at Fhlladclphta, whence it was subsequently removed to Madison Square, New York. In February; 1877, Congress set apart Liberty Island for the statue, and a committee was chosen with William 51. Evarts at its head. The lace and head of the statue was completed In 1878, when It was placed In tho French Exposition, and on July 7,1880, the great figure was com- a*.

(iivtcu iu it was temporarily put together the following year in the presence of theUuit- i ed States Minister { and a gathering of prominent French £ people. This statue A is a free gift of re- 4$ sped- aud good will from the people of France to those of America. On the tab

FARMERS' CHILDREN. A Suggestion Which Nhoutil He Talked Over In Rural Communities. A country-bred woman living iu a ■large city gave lessons in cookiug to half a dozen working girls. She found them ignorant of the simplest details of work, because they had never seen it done. If they had grown up in country homes she would have found them already familiar with the theory of cooking and only in need of practice. Washington Gladden believed that country boys made the most .successful men, so he sent letters to a hundred successful business men in all ranks of city life, asking them whore their boyhowl had been spent, and how their time, out of school hours, was used. The replies showed that most of them were from country homes, where out-of-school duties trained their hands and gave them habits of industry. In many largo cities there are now schools where little girls can learn to cook, set a tablo neatly, sow, darn, mend, sweep and dust, and their brothers are taught to use carpenter's tools, and to mwfol in wood such things as houses, fences and furniture, and as their lessons advance, to make things of value and beauty, of suitablo sizes for use. The Ch’ldren's Industrial Exhibit ou, bold in New York City, showed the work from such schools (and some w ork done out of schools) bv children all over the country. And there is a stir and a flutter of little hands in the cities as they busy themselves with these new lessons. The country children already know many things these little folks are studying out with active fingers; whv can tjey not be helped to learn stiil more? Are there not possibilities for cooking, sewing and carpentering classes in the country? A class of six or more little girls might meet onco a week under the guidance of a grown-up sister, auntie or mother, and cook the nioal they* eat together, each one bringing a share of tincooktj) materials and doiug a share of the work, the teacher watching and directing all the work, but doing none. Sotting the table * and tablo manners would c >me in for a share of her care. A work-shop for the boys might be organ'zed during the seasoil when there is the least farm-work, and some farmer, handy with tools, could greatly benefit the boys of tho nc'ghborhood bv giving them lessons in simple work with the hammer, saws and nails. Studying books is good; training the hands to make the study practical is better. The advantages of such classes would be many; first of all, the children would feel that good work is important, and it would become interesting, and. instead of hurrying through their out-of-school duties m the most careless way, they would find a pleasure in doing them well. Then, in a class, if only three or four, the sense of companionship and the efforts made by each ope to work as well as the rest would add a charm for tlio ; children. Try something of this kind and report the results.—Afire Brown, in Burnt New Yorker. A PECULIAR CASE. An Interesting l aw Point Which Excite* the People of Arkanmw. * An appeal in a rather peculiar case has just gono before the Supreme Court of Arkansaw. John Bogworth, who for many years lived in the'Village of Ripvillc, Washington County, Ark., canto to Little Rook some time ago and entered into business. Recently lie went back to his native village, having replaced his slouch liat for a rathor high-crowned-Derby. When the companions of his youth saw him wearing the hat they provided themselves with bean shooters and ^ began to shoot holes through it. Finally, one buck-shot, ranging a trifle too low, plowed a furrow across the top of John’s head. Bogworth had tho follow arraigned before a justice of the peace. “Is this the hat you wore?” tho justice asked. “Yes, sir.” “And tho buck-shot that made this hole is the one that pi owes! you, oh?” “Yes, your honor.” f Tha justice, after a few moments’ reflection, said: “It is the opinion of this court that tho plaintiff in this case laid himself 1 ablo, and that if he had i pulled his hat down so far. the 1 shot would have simply gone tb the hat without hitting him.” An appeal to the Circuit Court suited in a confirmation of the decisi of the court below, and then an appeal* to the Supremo Court was taken. The final result is awaited with much interest. —A rka nsaw Traveler.
