The chiet objection to u down-town parade was the elaim that the distance would bo too great for the troops to march. Tho final ob- jection to a long route was that even under the plan ofiicially put forwara, it would be a hard mattec to_start the ceromonies at the grounds by 12:30 and fiuish by sundao United States troops went into Jackson park, nfantry, cavairy, artillery and marines, to the number of 2,700, The quar- ters provided for them are in the mines and mining building.

Columbus Was No Hero, w Havew, Conn., Oct. 17.—Rev. J.

Columbus found the dirt on whicn America stands, but he did not mean to, America as a blessing to herself and to the ola world was discovered by the Puritans. Columbus was a great man, but so is Jay Gould, the railroad wrecker. [f robvers aro Christians, he said, Columbus is a saint. He put up the'first cheats on the gentle worship- ful natives. He loaded the frst slave ship.
