HE WHOLE COUNTRY
Is to be Pleased 10Th the General arrange
ments at The Inauguration merit month.
Hoo tie Sovereign Rulers arc TO be cared
for.
That the dominant party proposes
to make the Inauguration of Mr.. Gar
field the most brilliant event, of the
character, known in the countrys
history is no longer question, and
while, as matter of course, it is
mainly in the hands of the members
of that party, it is, nevertheless, to
be great national event in which
the people of all eections will unite to
do honor, not to the President of
one party, but to the Chief Executive
of the country. A conspicuous fea-
ture Of the inaugural ceremonies and
parade will be the participation Of
quite a number of military organiza-
tons from the South. Thus will the
blue and the gray intermingle, and
the pride of all the States in the
Union be heightened, and one and all
will feel that the Capital is indeed
that of the nation entire. To further
increase this era of good feeling, the
general committee proposes to erect
thirty eight grand arches on Pennsyl-
vania avenue, one for each and every
State in the Union. These arches
will, it is expected, indicate in some
way the distinctive features of the
different States. There will also be
grand triumphal arches erected at
other points throughout the city, TO
tably at the White House and the
Capitol. Basing their calculations
upon acceptances thus far received,
the committee calculate that the mil
itary organization in line will aggre-
gate to exceed twenty thousand men.
The question of affording ample ac-
commodation to the great number of
people who will be present has been
most satisfactorily settled by the
course Of the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad company in agreeing to run
fast trains every half hour between
Washington and Baltimore. The
regular schedule time of the Balti-
more and Ohio, it having the only
double track between the two cities,
is but one hour. The Washington
depot being just across the street from
the Capitol grounds, and the Balti-
more derot within few mon ents
walk Of the leading hotels, the chances
are that those who stop in the latter
city will be able to reach the centre
Of attraction in Washington in fully
as good time as those who make their
headquarters at tie capital. There
will be no increase in the rates at the
Baltimore hotels, and the railroad
fare from enc city to the ether will
not exceed sixty cents. At this nom
inal figure, and with the exceedingly
moderate rates at the best hotels in
Baltimore, the probabilities are that
those who make that city their stop
ping place will have no larger bills
to pay than if they remained in Wash
ington. The Baltimore and Ohio,
with its only direct line from Louis
vile to Washington, and it's schedule,
which is no less than seven hours
faster than that of any other road
reaching Washington, NATURAL 7 an
ticipating vely largely increased
business next month, has made every
preparation to handle it most effective.
The daisy Train" which leaves here
in the afternoon and teaches WASH
in9ton next day at noon will be run
in as many sections as are requisite
to meet the demands upon it. The
elegant new sleepers, built expressly
for the Baltimore and Ohio, will lie
attached to all trains, and every pos
sible care will be taken TO insure the
comfort and convenience ofall patrons.
The company has just issued very
handsome little circular giving a
brief sketch Of the different residents
from Washington's time to the pres
eat, ard also The official programme
of the committee in charge of til, in
aulural Ceremonies. ! his circular,
which will lie found very handy for
reference, can be had upon application
to any of the agents OF the Baltimore
and Ohio, or will be promptly for
warded by return mail to all who send
their address to @. X. Lcid, G. P. A.,
