¦4* Chi e a sr o Celebrates the Opening of t he World' s Fair Buildings. J/Go utiu uuiii u i . uio x o iauoti * the Dedication Eierois e s DftRr.rintion of the Parades and The dedicatory ceremonies of the World' s Columbian Exposition began at Chicago with the reception, and entertainment of prominent -visitors by the various commit- tees cm their arrival in the citj, followed in the evening by the formal inaugural r s cep- tiatLby t fre c i tizsns of Chicago to the guests of honor. A prelude wa3 the \Columbus Day \ celebration during the afternoon by thousands of school children throu g hout the city. The city was gay with countless banners fluttering a hearty welcome to the thousands of strangers who were elbowin g each other in an endeavor to see as much of the city as possible while at her best. All the flags were unfurled , nearly all the festivals , burgesses , rosettes and shields in place , and Columbus was smiling down on the peop le in the streets from thousands of nooks and corners. la many instances a decidely harmonious effect was produced in the business blocks. The First National Bank was a p icture in itself , and the Auditorium was so deftly dealt with, that immense crowds were con* s tantiy admiring the happy blending of col- ors and the numerous inganious devices. The City Hall and the County Building •were resplendent with terra cotta , the Na- tional colors and portraits of Columbus , \Washington and Grant , while the giant polished granite columns were gorgeously decorated ~ with bunting, streamers and b urgess. The numerous bridges over the Chicago River were resplendent with decora- tions , and the ships in the stream sent aloft all their standards and signals. The Palmer House seemed a home of fairies. Everything was golden , flowery and g littering. At the Victoria an imita- tion of Queen-Victoria ' s crowa was sur- rounded by a dear arrangement of Ameri- can and English flags and looked a grand challenge flaunting in the face of its neigh- bors to surpass it if they can. Terra cotta , which was selected for the munici pal color for th a Columbus celebra- tion , was not used as extensivel y as had been expected. Italian and Spanish flags were much in evidence and helped to relieve tiie sameness resulting from the lavishn e s s with which the patriotic spirit of the peop le moved them to flin? to the breez e from every possible point th a red , white and blue. Of all the downtown streets State street was the gayest. There most of the mer- chant princes have their stores and the dis- play was corresponding l y superb. The first event of the day was the c e lebra- tion of \Columbus Day \ by the school chil- dren of the city, and youthful enthusiasm was given the widest p lay. The rooms were all decorated appropriatel y to the occasion. The first exercise was , the reading of the President' s proclamation. This was followed by a flag-raising, and the pupils saluted the colors, pledging their allegiance to the flag, sod singing \America. \ In beualf of other patrons and of the pa* tronesses of the ball , .Major-General Mies , Mayor Washbnrne , and Marshall Meld in- ¦ntod 400Q citizens of various S s ate3 to par- ticipate in a reception tendered to the Presi- dent, Vice-President and ex-Presidents of the United States , the representatives of foreign Governments , Governors of States and Ter- ritories and other distinguished guests. The affair , wtrich was a brilliant social event , took placa at the Auditorium. A t midnig ht the supper rooms were opened and the genial pleasure of the ball was in- creased by viands and delicacies. The second day of Chicago - 3 grand cele- bration was given over to the civic parade. Of Chicago ' s population , one in twenty inarched in the parade , and the other nine- teen , reinforced by i half million visitors from out a de points , stood on the sidewalk , packed the streets, perched on roofs and window alls , ana jammed the various stands along the line of march to see him do it. | fc i . _ . It was estimated that at least 1 , 200 , 000 { people viewed the parade , and after it was over \ a n d do n e , the majority of the down- town restaurants were compelled to close their doors until they could attend to those _ _ who had already gained admittance. . ' ' ThB parade was reviewed by Vice-Presi- dent Morton , in the absence of President Harrison, who was unable to attend because the illness of his wife detained Mm ' at her bedside. Ex-Presidait Cleveland , for whom a consp icuous p lace in the reviewing stand had been reserved , was also absent , he having declined to come when be learned that his rival for the Presidency was forced to remain away owing to such distressing circumstances. During the parade Mr. Morton , at the centre of the dais , had President Palmer , of the World' s lair N ational Commission , on bis right hand , and President Higgm- botham , of the World' s fair Directory, on bis left. After President Palmer , in the order named , Secretary of State Foster , Attorney-General Miller , Postmaster- General Wanamaker , Secretary Tracy, Secretary Noble and Secretary Rusk.

Chev- alier de Tavera , Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary from the Vatican; Alfred de Clapar e de , Swiss Envoy; Enrique Depuy de Lome , Envoy Extraordinary for Spain; Alfred La Ghait , Belgian Envoy Ex- traordinary; T. de Souza Boza , Portuguese Envoy, and Camille Krantz , Deputy of the Vosges , Commissioner-General of the French Government . On the tiers of seats directly behind the President' s dais sat tha members of the le- gations , including the picturesque figure of the Chinese Minister. There also were the Brazilian Worltf s Fair Commissioners , the French Commissioner and a host of other notables. It was exactl y at 12:23 o ' clock when Chief of Police McClaug hry at the head of the parade brought his baton up to salute Vice- Presid e nt Morton. As the different Governors of the States passed the reviewing stand , some on horse- back and others in carriages. - each was greeted with a succession of cheers which kept bim bowing for many minutes: After them came the rank and file of the parade , and in a formation of ten-file wide in double rank they rolled like a human wave past the reviewing stand for almost three hours. As each, snccassivp body reached the east side of the Federal Building it was greeted by one thousand little g irls arranged in the ^ - shape and draped in the colors of the Amsr- ^ ca n flag. ' The Indian boys from the Industrial School at Carlisle , Penn., created enttusi- ; a s tic cheers as they came by. They car- ried long yellow poles , upon the end of which were fastened models of various tools emblematic of the different trades. It is estimated that there were 75 , 000 men in At the head of the parade , following the mounted police , came Sonsa ' s Marine Band , acting as escort for the Mexican National Band. The visitors from the Bio Grande were giving a royal welcome. As quickly as the last strains from one bani died away, the other took it up, and from the beginning to the end of the march there was continuous martial music at the head of the procession. At the heels of the Mexican band was Major-General Miles , the Grand Marshal of the parade , resplendent in full military attire. Behind him clattered a score of aides de ca mp. The Chicago Hussars , in black with white trimmings , and accompanied by their bugle corps , was the escort to the Mayor of Chicago and the City Council in carriages. Then came the Governors. Delaware ' s contingent was first in the line of State dig- nitaries , and her Governor , B, \W. Reynolds , received an ovation. Governor Patt s sos , of Pennsylvania , came in for warm greeting. As Governor Russell , of Massachusetts , came slowl y up Adams street , mounted on & spirited gray charger , the enthusiasm was redoubled. New Jersey ' s Governor was not present , buc a brilliantstaff represented the State , a Major-Ganeral mounted leading a staff, of seven officers and five carriages following. Governor Bulke l ey, of Connecticut , was the first executive to appear with a military es- cort. This was the Governor ' s Foot Guards , of Hartford , headed by Coates ' s First Regi- ment Band. The Guards in their uniforms of the last century looked quaint but hsnd - some , and their marching was perfection. Maryland proudly hung her banner to the breez y and the folds g £ $ j b handsome silk standard nearly enveloped the occupants of thecarriage. \ The Maryland staff, occu p iol Virginia ' s E xecutive was not present , but Colonel \Joe \ Lane Stern and Captain Eg* erton S. Rogers ,. First Virginia Cavalry, represented him. North Carolina had two carriages and New Hampshire four. Rhode Island was next , and then come the Execu- tive of New York , Governor Wower/ with his Adjutant-General , General Porter. The staff occupied twelve carnages.

Arizona closed the first d ivision. The second grand division was led by the Independent Order of Foresters , 13 , 000 strong. In their rear was a big float repre- senting \Columbus discoverin g America , \ and showing the Santa Maria approaching a rock bound coast upon which a number- of Indians stood eagerly scanning the approach- ing vessel . Behind the float tramped 309 Grecians , wearing the decorations of then* Nation ' s flag—blue and white. Eight thousand men of the Patriotic Or- der Sons of America were over an hour in going past. Then in close , even ranks came the descendants of the men who had won the battle of the Boyne , their persons and banners bearing knots of their favorite orange ribbons. Three thousand five hundred men of the Chicago Turners? Society, headed by th e National Commission of their order , looked exceeding l y well in their neat uniforms of gray shirts , trousers and hats. They were followed by 709 men of the Bohemian Turner societies , and these by 500 German veterans , who marched beneath the red , white and bl ue of then* adop tion and the red , white and black under which they had marched in less peaceful times. There was a strong reminder of the heather ss 1200 Scots hove in sight. The bagp i pes , which were many throughout tbeir column , shrieked- shrilly, and the men in tartans were a feature of tha parade. The 250 representatives of the Royal Scots Regiment , clad in the royal Stuart plaid , called fourth loud cheers of approval Fifty men , wearing the uniform of the famous Black Watch Regiment , who were next in li n e , were followed by a seemingly endless string of p l aids. The black and gold of the Sons of St. George followed the Hi g hlanders. Then came rank after rank of Creation and Po- lish societies , in all about 2000 men. After them came ten times as many ranks , ea c h with its proportionate number of men , and every man a Swede. In four carriages were sixteen pretty girls , representing in their at- tire the various National female costumes of Sweden and Norway. The next division was made up of 2030 boys from the . grammar and hi gh schools of Chicago. Then tramped eight repre- sentatives of every Grand Army Post in Chicago and Cook County, rein- forced by numerous delegations from nei ghboring cities. The veterans were about 890 strong and at their rear was a float representing the Monitor as she ap- peared before fighting the Merrimac. The Sons of Veterans , Modern Woodmen of America , uniformed ranks of the Royal Ar- canum and Knights of Pythias , 2000 men in all . closed the division. The next division , under the command of Chief Marshal Cahill , was led by the Mar- s hal , surrounded by a large staff , in whos a wake came the mounted members of the uniformed Knights of St. Patrick. and Cardinal Gibbons , consuls of foreign Governments , the commissioners and Board of Lady Managers of the Exposition. B s present ing thB thirteen ori g inal States were that number of women elad iu tha colors of their respective States. The Board of Directors , Board of Go v ernmental Man* ~ a s rame-> V department chiefs and other officers o? the Fair followed , the rear being brought up by the Board of Aldermen of Chicago. The parade moved at a brisk trot to Thirty-fifth street , where it was met by the army sad militia. . Then the speed was slackened , and the military formed in line quickly and took up the march to Washing- ton Park. The cavalry headed the military column , followed by the artillery aud infantry. The famous cavalry band mounted furnished music. On the left of the line was the ma- rine battalion , four companies, and its band of fif ty pieces. The State militia , headed by the Delaware troops , came next in line, and the State troops followed in rotation in the «fc>rder the States were admitted into the Union , Wyoming bringing up the rear.

In the front rank was the Seventh Cavalry, General Ouster ' s regi* ment. The troops massed in review nttm* bered 15 , 000 men. The guests and officers resumed their car* riages and continued the drive to the park, As the Vice-President' s carriage entered the gate to the grounds the President' s salute was tired. Luncheon was hastily served and the Vice-President and party drove to the Manufacturers ' building to hold the dedica- tion ceremonies. Fully 125 , 000 people filled Manufacturers ' Hall aud crowded around the buildin g , while the streets outside the park were jammed. Only those holding tickets were admitted to the grounds. After the opening prayer by Bishop Chaa Fowler of the Methodist Church , the task of making the formal announcement that the work of preparing the buildings and gro un ds h a d ' been completed was assi gned to Hon. George R. Davis , Direct t General. After his speech, a hearty welcome was extended in behalf of the citizens of Chicago by Mayor Hemp- stead Wa9hburne. Mrs. Le Moyne then read selections from Mrs. Harriet Monroe ' s dedicatory ode. The choir of 6000 voices then sang Haydn ' s chorus , \The Heavens Are Tallin:* . \ Mrs. Potter Palmer then spoke of the work of the Board of Lady Managers. President Higginbothatn followed and presented the buildings to President Palmer , who in turn presented themto Vie s -Presi- dent Morton. A round of applause greeted the conclu- sion of his address , and enthusiasm prew in- t o a tumult when Mr. Morton was intro- duced to dedicate the buildings in behalf of the United States. The conclusion of his address was the si gnal for loud and long-continued applause , and when the Vice-President stepped for- ward to bow his thanks one-eighth of a mil- lion men and women rose to their , feBt and gave him a salvo of applause. The \Hallelujah Chorus \ was rendered at this point, A recaption of cordiality was extended to Henry Watfcerson , of Ken- tucky, when he came to' the front of the stage and delivered the dedicatory oration. When the eminent Kentuckian had resumed his seat ani the applause that greeted his p a roration had subsided the choir rendered the \Star Spangled Banner \ and \flail Columbia \ with orchestral accompaniment. Scarcely, had the strains of music died away when * Dr. Chauncey M. D s pew , of New York , arose. Deafening cheers greet- ed him as he stood for a moment and sur- veyed the brilliant assemblage , and then in impressive fashion delivered the Columbian oration. The first to greet the distinguished New Yorker as he concluded his oration was Henry Watterson , who clasped his hand and congratulated him warmly upon his eloquent words. The twilight of app roach- ing dusk was stealing through the building as Mr Depew concluded. Prayer b y his Eminence Cardinal Gib* bona . Archbishop of Baltimore , followed , and \In Praise of God\ w as sung, after which the Rev. H. C. Gook , of Philadelphia , delivered the benediction. - , At ni g ht the peop le , by tens of thousands , stood in Lincoln , Garfleld and Washington parks looking at the fireworks. The most interesting displays were the p ictures , in fire , of the Santa Maria , with the Pinto and the Nina , a representation of tha landing of Columbus , and an American flag in colored flames afloat in the sky a thousand feet above the ground. There were also inaugural ceremonies of the world' s congress auxiliary at the Auditorium , where Archbishop Ireland de- livered the oration. Observances Elsewhere.

The greatest day of Chicago ' s festal week was the third day, when the World' s Fair was formally dedicated in the presence of 100 , 000 people by the dignitaries of the Na tion. The scene presented by the vast assembly in the building where the ceremonies took place was one not to be forgotten. The hall —the Manufactures and Liberal Arts build- ing—is the largest structure ever erected , and in it was gathered the largest crowd ever assembled beneath a sing le root In the audience were probably more distinguished Americans than have ever been seen together on any commemorative occasion in the history of the Republic. Learned jurists from the bench , Cabinet officers , Governors of States , Senators and Congressmen , admirals and generals in their uniforms , cardinals . in tbeir robes , scientists who are fast wresting from nature the problems of all ages—all these assembled to do honor to the great silent student of 400 years ago who in his way was the pio- neer of them all ; who gave the world a new continent and to posterity an imperishable reverence for Christopher Columbus. The first gun of the Dedication Day salute was fired at four o ' clock in the morning. About 10 o ' clock the carriage parade be- gan to form on the lake front park and Michi gan avenue.

Mrs. Benjamin Harrison , wife of the President , expired at 1<45 o ' clock a fe # mornings ago in the White House , at Wash- ing ton. She had been ill since last April with pulmonary disease , resulting from an attack of the grip. Those at the bedside were the President , Mr. and Mrs. McKee , Me. and Mrs, Russell Harrison, Private Secretary Halford , Lieu* tenant and Mrs . Parker , Mrs. Dimmick , Dr. G ardner , Miss Davis , nurse , an d Mrs. Har- rison ' s maid , Josephine. Dr. Scott retired before midnight j, and did not witne s s the death scene. From 1 o ' clock Mrs. Harrison ' s breathing was hardly perceptibl y and her respiration gradually decr e ase d until 1:45 , when she passed away. President Harrison was at the rig ht side of his wife in a reclining posi* tion from 1 o ' clock , when Dr. Gardner no- tified the family that the end was close at hand. In this position he remained until 1:45 , when life was thoug ht to be extinccr , and Lieutenant Par- ker , who was at the bedside , called in Dr. Gardner , and the experiencel eyu of the p hysician soon detected that Mrs. Harrison was no more . The President gave way to an almost audible outburst of grief , butsoon suppressed his emotion and endeavored to console Mrs. \McKee , his daughter. All the members of the famil y remained in the room for probably fifteen or twenty min utes after the death . The President passed the entire day a t the bedside of his wife. He did not enter the office portion of the building. In tne morn- ing, during the two hour a \when it seemed that death was imminent , he stood over ih o bedside , holding the hand of his stricken p artner , and breath b y breath they fought back the invader together and won a few more hours of earthly companionship . Mrs. Harrison ' s Lite. Mrs. Caroline Lavina Harrison was \ pretty Carrie Scofct , \ second of the three daughters of John Witherspooii Scofcfc , a pioneer Presbyterian minister . Sue was born in 1833 , in Oxford , Ohio , where her father was then President of a college for youn g women. Mrs. Harrison was thor- oughly educated at this school. She was a favorite in the simple , but cultivated , so* ciety gathered around the institutions of learning for which the town was then famous. At Miami Universit y in Oxford , Benja- min Harrison was a student , Onl y a fe w months older than the charming: girl who subs e quently became his wife . It waspur e ly a love match . After leaving tha University, young Harrison studied law in Cincinnati , returning to Oxford for his bride as soon as those studies were comp lete ! . They Were married oh October 80 , 1 853 . The honey- moon was passed at the residence of the groom ' s parents , North Bend , Ohio The future President had only a capital oC $ 2 00 , given him by hie father.; T he young couple lived in a boarding house for several month? , until their income warranted the renting of a home. They had moved to Indianapolis in Afarcb , 1854. Russell Harri- son , their eldest child , was born in the sum- mer following. The young wife and mother was bravely and hopefully struggling to asr s ist her husband. During the war , while her husband was at the f ront , Mrs. Harrison , though remaining at home , was still his constant helpmate. After the war , wi ty i General Harrison ' s professional and political advancement , their home became a social center. Mrs. Harri- son was prominent in charity and church work. She painted in oil and water colors , aud directed personally the thorough educa- tion o: her children. In 1881 , upon joining the circle of Senators ' wives in Washington , Mrs. Harrison made her mark immediately. As wife of the President her social duties of last -winter were unusuall y severe , and when spring came her health was failing rapidly. During Lent there were so many visitors that she set aside certain afternoons in each week for reception purposes. On several of these occasions s ha ¦w as unable to be p resent . in- person. The last recep tion was . held on the 6th of April. . . Mrs . Harrison received in person . The doors and windows of the Blue Parlor were thrown opeu , for the day was warm. That night Mrs. Harrison coughed continually, aud her suffering was obvious. This was the beginning of her last illness. ¦ She has steadily grown worse until , when she was finally . carried from Loon Lake back to the White House a month ago , a fatal termination of her illness was only a matter of days and hours. Her name is identified prominentl y with dozens of charitable enterprises in Indian- apolis , Washington and elsewhere. She was one of the first directors of the Garfleld Hosp ital; _and was - prime mover in the organization known as Daug hters of the Revolution , of which she became the official head. Mrs. Harrison had onl y two children— Russell Harrison and Marr . Scotfc Harrison , the latter now Mrs. W. R. McKee , of Indianapolis . Mrs. Harrison was never what is called a \dressy \ woman. She never ori ginated a fashion. Black was her favorite color. Last Election ' Day she wore one of her usual house dresses. For evening and party dresses she deferred largel y to Iashion , but never adopted extremes. In the matter of jewelry she was particularly modest. On State occasions she wore a small bar of diamonds at her thrq a t. Her earrings were of black pearls , and her only ring was a wedding ring. ; Each detail of the management of the White House was familiar to her and came under her personal supervision.
