THE INAUGURATION BALL.
An Event of Great Brilliancy and Prom
ise-GarfieId's Relations.

An Event of Great Brilliancy and Prom
ise-GarfieId's Relations.
WASHINGTON, March 1.-The great fsa-
ture Of Inauguration day is supposed to be
the bah This has been advertised far and
wide as a social event Of great orilliancy and
promise. People who are unfamiliar with
Washington and who are coming on here
to visit during the Inauguration period need
not expect too much in the way of enjoy
ment. The bail is delusion and q snare
for any one but rural country people. The
character Of this ball does not seem to be
well understood, however, for the town is
now thronged with the agents Of New York
dressmakers who have come here TO make
fortunes selling costumes for the great
ball. They are already in dis.
pair. They have sold bat few
dresses and find but little demand here for
special aStires upon the occasion. The ball
is really nothing more or less than . prom
enade concert given under great disadysu-
tsges so far as personal comfort is concern
ed No lady possessing any information
would dream Of wearing sn evening dress
at such a place unless It was some old one.
Those who go out of curiosity as a general
thing wear the plainsst of dinner dresses
or calling costumes. There is no limit in
the number OF guests aud no restrictions
upon their character. The happy possessor
Of 50 can buy ticket Itis the one occa-
sion upon which colored people are
permitted to so in the society of their
white brethren. The ball socalled
is generally attended BY iour or FIVE thou
sand people. There is very little pretense
even 70 dancing. There is generally one
quarter in the ball room rejerved for the
President and his friends Here he is
obliged to stand as long as his patience will
permit and receive the people who have
paid IS TOR the privilege OF looking at him.
In realty the inaugural ball is the Presi-
dents first public reception. The enter
tainmentis always given under the greatest
possible disadvantages. There is no regu-
isr building in the city large enough for en-.
tertaining four or five thousand people
which is procurable. As general thing a
temporary barracks is patup or some nearly
finished public building is secured.
Garfelds Relatives
When Garfield was inaugurated the ball
took place in the newly finished National
Museum. This was the best place for an
Inauguration bah that Washington has had
since the custom was established. Bot
even there, while il was vel heated and
lighted, the fresh board floors soon became
so covered with dirt IS to quickly ruin any
evening dress. Gen Garfield endured q
good deal during that evening he vas
thoroughly fat;gued with the excitemsnls

and lsbors of the day, and while he was in
the museum building was at the mercy OF
great crowd. BE was required to
Of open the ball by formally parading with
his wife on his arm at the head Oh
his family followed by q tribe OF relatives
who had come on to Washington TOR the
FIRST time. Garfield looked thoroughly de-
iected and miserable and well he might.
There was no man who has ever reached q
high place who has bSeeh obliged to make
such parade as that. The long line fhis
relatives was enough to depress any one.
Outside of his own immediate family, the
uncles, cousins and aunts were some OF the
sorriest most uncouth and. wild
looking people that one could i'm
sgine. Some of the younger cousins
looked as if they had been lassoed right
out of the bushes and suddenly brought IN
to the light Of civilization, with nothing to
hide their native simplicity but q suit OF
hand.me down cottonwood clothes. Some
OF the fervid admirers Of Garfield used this
line of Darwinian types to magnify Gar
field. Pointing to some of these strange
creatures, who were physically and mentally
dwarfs, they would use them to show how
wonderful it was that Garfield could have
fought his way up from such surroundings
and such. relatives to the highest Piaee-ln
the land.
The Place. ..- -
The place where the inaus suration ball is
to be held this year is in the new Pension
building. This building is not as near com
pletion as was the Museum building four
years ago. 1t is not possible for any com
mittee to make out OF the quarters where
the ball is to be held anything more than
barely tolerable place. If the weather is at
all cold, as it now promises to be, 1t will be
impossible to heat the building properly.
The attempt to cover the building with
canvas root has proved a dead failure.
The first high wind tore the canvas into
strips. Now the roof is being made
of pine planks with felt covering.
If there is a storm it must leak.
The committee has had some trouble in the
decoration of the room. Senator John
Sherman, who is Chairman of the Senate
Library Committee, has been suddenly
seized with scruples. He .hss refused to
permit the plants in the Botanical Garden
TO be used for decorating this ballroom.
He saws that there is no law to permit 1t.
Col. Casey, under his direction, has also re-
fused the loan OF plants from the conserva-
tories of public buildings and grounds.
There is no law permitting it, to be sure;
neither is there any law forbiddiug it. 1t
is hard to understand what these conserva-
tories are established for, if they are not to
furnish ornaments for just such occasions.
The Botanical Garden is really an excres-
cence. 1t has no real right to existence.
1t is no earthly use except to furnish
bouquets for Congressman. 1t should be

Proposes to Create a New Cabinet Port
folio.
WASHINGTON, March If the House bill
to make the Department OF Agriculture one
of the executive departments of the Govern
ment is ever taken up by the Senate Mr.
Kenns proposes to offer an amendment to
the measure which will radically enlarge its
provisions. Mr.. Kennas amendment Is
virtually q substitute for the present bill
It creates new executive department, to
he called the Department of Industries
the head of which is to be the Sec
rotary Of Industries Included IN the
department are to be Division Of Agricul.
ture anda Divisioa Of Commerce the head
of which shall perform the duties now de-
volviDg upon the Register of the Treasury.
A number Of bureaus now attached to the
treasury Department are to be transferred
to the Department Of Industries, ipcluding
the Bureau of Statistics. 1t is believed this
feature of Mr.. Kenna's proposition will be
its greatest strength, as the Treasury De-
partment is overloaded with bureaus whose
work is not of the same nature as that of she
department proper, and the transfer Of
which to some other department
10 Secretary OF the Treasury woulp
be apt TO oppose. In commenting on this
substitute the New York Times says: Mr..
Kennas proposition to establish a new exc
cutive del partment to be called the Depart
ment of Industries, is decided improve
ment upon that for which il is o9sred as
substitute, which would elevate the Agri-
cltural Bureau to the dignity Of an inde-
pendent department. If there is to
be in the Cabinet a Minister Of
Agricultural way should there not be also
a Minister of Commerce and Minister Of
Manufactures? A Department of Indus
tries would cover wide 6eli and furnish
an appropriate place for number OF bu-
reaus which have been attached to the
Treasury. Department for want Of better
place, but which do not properly belong
there. If a new department is to be estab-
lished, it should cover more ground than
Commissioner Loring's bureau, and should
be made more useful.
