PARKER, Assignee. 8 T EVERYTHING at HERMAN WISE'S, The Reliable Clothie and Hatter, A Card to the Public, My attention was this evening called to the following item In thte Budget: It will bo a good thing for the town when the old bankrupt stock of Dins more is gotten rid of, and the whole out fit leaves town. It has been no god from the start. It is about time the people shut down on these outside penny-catch concerns. In reply to the above, I wish to state that I object, most emphatically, to any blackmailing scheme. Regarding' ad vertising as a business proposition, I shall advertise only where I know It will bring good results. Mr. Dunbar kept quiet from February 22d until March 22d, during which period I ad vertised in his paper. On the. latter date I discontinued my advertisment, having found that the Budget-was de ficient in circulation, and consequently useless as an advertising medium. Since then I have repeatedly refused the solicitations of his agents for patronage, and thinking to coerce me he now tries the blackmailing method. The following shows for itself: . Astoria, March, 1893. M. Dinsmore Bankrupt Sale; To the Astoria Budget, Dr. to adver tising from February 22d, to March 22d, $24. . Received payment, Astoria Budget, per L. E. S. The -bargains given at the Dinsmore bankrupt' sale speak for themselves, and no blackmailing newspaper idiots need apply for advertising patronage. LEE KOHN.

THE FAIR IS FORMALLY OPEKEO dresiflent fclani Aitecs Mast THE PEESSINQ OP THE BUTTON Is the Signal for a Soena of Cnparalled Grandeur The Enthoalaam Un checked by Bain, Associated Press. Chicago, May 1. The electric age was ushered Into being In the last decade of the nineteenth century today, , when President Cleveland, by pressing the button, started the mighty machinery, rushing waters, and revolving wheels in the World's Columbian. Exposition, No exhibit oY the fair that is to at tract the thousands to this city for the next six months can be more marvelous than the majestic effect following the solemn opening of the fair today. Of the" multitude of visitors some estt mate the number as high as 200,000 probably not one fully realized the full import of the effect that was to come from the arrangement so cleverly de vised in the opening of the expositln, It was known in a vague way that the president was to presa the golden key and that electric communication with the machinery was to start the fair, but' no one realized how intricate was this machinery; how Infinite the rami' fications of this electric spark, until the great fountains threw up their gey sera seventy feet Into the air, and the rumble and hum of wheels in the man factories buildings and the clatter of machinery In all parts of that area -of a mile square or more, told the story of the financial consummation of set entitle thought The lifeless started In to being at every hand, draped Btat uary shed Us veil, and revealed to the world the artistic labors of the past eighteen months, and in a moment all that had been apathy, and Inert, and inactive through the long hours of the morning, sprang into animated exist' ence and thrilled the multitude and crowned the triumph of the exposition. In previous expositions the possiblll ties of electricity had been limited to the mere starting of the engines in the machinery hall, but In this, the won derful force made thousands of ser vants do Its bidding, and from the great Corliss engine and the mammoth foundations down to the minutest acts where power and touch were requisite, the magic of electricity did the duty of the hour. FOR THE WHITE CITY. The Great Procession to the World's Fair Grounds. Chicago, May . Jupiter J'luvlus held uplifted his threatening list over Chicago this morning. The skies weri sodden, and bleak and thll'y mist filed the atmosphere. But to Chicago, weather conditions counted for nothing and at an early hour people were astir. The great circle of events which today makes Chicago as a festal city, the first monies began with Professor J. K. torlum Hotel, where large numbers gathered for a glimpse of Columbus' descendant, Duke De Veragua, who, with members of his family and com mittees, and prominent officials of the nation, state and municipal, took car riages about 9 o'clock, and under a mil itary escort, drove to the Lexington Hotel, at Michigan avenue and Twen tieth street, at which were President Cleveland and the members of hi3 cab inet, and from which point . the pro cession to the park was to start; The ducal party were arrayed in all the glories of the Spanish court costume. Meanwhile the city at large seemed going in a body to the White City by the lake. Soon after 9 o'clock Presi dent Cleveland and associates appeared at the entrance to the Lexington Hotel and were conducted to carriages. When all was In readiness, the pro cession moved in the following order: Platoon mounted police. Two companies United' States Cav alry. A troop of Hussars. Illinois National Guard. The World's Fair officials occupied the first six carriages, in the seventh were President Cleveland and the chair man of the Columbian commission and the president of the World's Columbian Exposition. Then the Duke De Vera gua and party In Ave carriages, fol- Schofleld, Admiral Gherardl, Governor Altgeld, and Mayor Harrison bringing up the rear. The cavalcade proceeded to the ad ministration building, where the cere monies were to take place. Passing through the building, the notables came out on a platform on the east Bide, looking out upon the grand plaza and court of honor plaza, black with peo ple, the whole scene forming one o'f the most enchanting and remarkable In history, : Shortly after 10 o'clock the cere- monlesbegan with Professor J. K, Haines' "Columbia March," followed by a prayer by blind Chaplain Mtlburn, of the United States senate. Then Miss Jessie Couthoul, a dramatic reader, re cited "Rhymed Prophesy," by W, Crof ut, of Washington. After an or chestral overture, Director General Da vis, as master of ceremonies, made the opening address. The director general then presented President Cleveland, who was kept waiting several minutes until the applause should subside, when with bared head, he spoke as follows: I am here to join my fellow citizens jn congratulations which befit the oc casion. We stand today in the presence of the oldest nations of the world and point to the great achievements we here exhibit, asking no allowance on 1 the score of youth. The enthusiasm with whlcn we contemplate our work Is intensified by the warmth of the greeting we extend to those who have come from foreign lands to Illustrate with us the growth and progress of human endeavors in the direction of higher civilization. We, who believe in popular education and stimulation of the best Impulses of our citizens, to lead the way to the realization of the proud national destiny which our faith promises, gladly welcome the opportu nity here afforded us to see the results accomplished by efforts which have been exerted longer than ours In the field of man's improvement, while in appreciative return we exhibit the un paralleled advancement and wonderful accomplishment of a young nation, and present the triumph of vigorous self reliance and an Independent people. We hatwtouilt these splendid edifices, but we have also built a magnificent fabric of popular government whose grand proportions are seen throughout the world. We have made and here gath ered together the products of American skill and invention. We have also made men to rule themselves. It is an'exalt ed mission in which we and our guests from other lands engage as we co operate in the inauguration of an en terprise devoted to human enllghtment; and in the undertaking we here enter upon we exemplify in the noblest sense the brotherhood of nations. Let us hold fast to the meaning that under lies this ceremony and let us not lose the lmpresslveness o'f this moment, as by a touch the machinery that gives life to this vast exposition is now set in motion. Now at the same Instant let our hopes and aspirations' 'awaken forces that' in all time to come shall Influence the welfare, dignity and free dom of mankind. As he concluded, the vast throng saw him extend his hand to the button of the golden key which released the pent- up steam In the great engines, which set the chimes ringing and unfurled the myriad of flags from the great building, and the stupendous enterprise com memorating the 400th anniversary of Columbus' great achievement was in full swing. The president and officials were then entertained at luncheon and made the rounds of the building. THE FACILITIES FOR TRAVEL. Chicago, May 1. The transportation facilities today to and from the ex position grounds, were given the first trial, and proved eminently satisfac tory. The bulk of the down-traffic reached the ground over the Illinois Central road in. trains of eight cars each, which ran at three minute in tervals. " These facilities will be in creased toheni occasion demands, to twice the present capacity. The Illi nois Central handles an average of seven thousand people per hour. The Cottage Grove avenue cable line dis gorged crowds at the exposition gates at the rate of five thousand per hour, without great crowding. The -elevated system was not so fortunate as Its competitors, for its terminal system was not finished, and today it was lit erally swamped. The road carried about four thousand per hour, but could have doubled the number under more auspicious circumstances. Boats ran at thirty minute intervals, but the day was too cold and the lake too rough1 for the water route to be popu lar. 'Taking the day, which was con siderably heavier than the average will be, as a criterion, it is safe to say that the transportation to the exposition will be ample for all demands made upon it. GERMANY'S CONTRIBUTION. Chicago, May 1. The participation of the German empire In the inauguration of the big fair was an elaborate affair. Al the moment President Cleveland lmiriiMt .Via hiitirm that tutt th. ma. lowed by Thomas F. Bayard, ambas-1 chinery In motion, the chimes In the sador to Qreat Britain, Major Ccneral I chapel of Germany's building were brought into action, their beautiful and melodious tones filling with "Glory Hallelujah" In honor of the event. When the official ceremony was over, Commissioner Wermuth led the pres ident around to the interior section of the German exhibit in manufacturers' hall, where there was a reception by Commissioner Wermuth, and a lun cheon, with obligatory toasts to the success of the exposition, and the ex iitblt of Germany was a suitable finale to this worthy commemoration of the day on the part of Germany, WOMAN'S BUILDING DEDICATED. Chicago May 1. The most satisfac tory feature of the day's proceedings, from a feminine standpoint, was the formal dedication of the woman's build ing this afternoon. A great throng of women crowded into the building, to the imminent danger of silk, frabrlc, and frail bonnets. Mrs. Potter Palmer president of the board of lady man agers, delivered the dedicatory address, DISASTROUS FLOODS. FIC New Steamslilp Serrice Between Yai conrer and Australian Points.
