THREE DAYS OF GLORY.
Notes on the Washington Insugu.
ration Centennial.
RELICS AND REPRESENTATIONS.

New York's Proudest Day-Oyer Half q
Million People Come from Afar-An-
other Half Million from the Near vicin-
ity-Bsttle Relics, Washington Pictures
and Other MemoriaIs-Ths Military Pa
rade. Industrial Show. Banquet and
Dance.
The Washington centennial Is thing
Of tho past. For three days the city Of
New York was In q continuous blaze of
glory and patriotism, and the general
verdict is that all went well. The pa
raiders have returned to their homes, the
smoke OF the Examinations has cleared
away. the decorations are mostly remov.
cd, patriotism has been wonderfully re
viviiletl cad now we shall have no more
centcnnials-that Is. none Of such mo.
mentous importance-till 1915. Out OF
tho bewildering variety of three days
display only few points can be noted
in this brief report.
Aside from the main centennial dis
play, many interesting exhibits preceded
AMI followed the principal day, Of which
the most interesting was the centennial
loan exhibition at the Metropolitan Opera
house, to which articles were sent from
all sections Of the United States. II
gave opportunity to tens Of thousands OF
visitors to see the relics, which consisted
largely of busts, medallions, portraits,
specimens of the silverware Of the period,
old letters, magazines and papers and a
great many other objects illustrating the
art of the Eighteenth century and the
daily life of the great men of the revolu-
tionary era. OF course portraits of
Washington were the chief attraction
and some were here exhibited to the
public for the first time.
The Peales, the Trumbulls, the Stuarts
and other portraits which have made the
features Of Washington familiar to
Americans were, Of course, numerous,
and by an arrangement according to the
age ut which they were taken, the OBJ
server gained o very accurate view of
tho changes. Though John Trumbull
painted him In military guise and Gil
bert Stuart in statesman's attire, the diff
ference is very slight, but In the two
Pcalc portraits there Is quite variation,
especially in the lines about the mouth,
confirming the statement that as the
great hero grew older his mouth as
s,me,l a rigid or compressed appearance.
or the several busts exhibited, that made
by Ceracchi at Philadelphia in 1895 is
the one most familiar to the people, being
used as the standard on account of its

mitted, and for two hours passed in rapid
march before the president, but with no
shaking of hands. 1t was some consola-
ton to the disappointed to know that
there was no handshaking at Washing
toms reception in 1889, and that at least
one In fifty Of those who wanted to get
near the president succeeded in doing 30.
All this time the crowd In the city was
rapidly growing and the enthusiasm
mounting upward. It Is supposed that
half million people entered the city for
the three days, filing every hotel and
lodging house, and through all the morn
ing hours of the three days the rapidly
succeeding trains coming in on all the
roads were jammed with people from a
circuit Of C hundred miles or more
around-people who preferred to go
home each evening-and all overlooking
with the widest enthusiasm. Sight
seers who visited the main depots at the
early and late hours describe the scenes

The Northwestern Agr,cutlturalist tells
some very homely truths in the follow
ing remarks. 1t says that, probably, no
country ever experienced such a real
estate boom as California, and in no
country has the reaction been more Sc
we're. The real estate sharpers reaped
rich reward, as they sold practically
for cash, their terms being generally
one-third cash, One-tbird in sixty days,
and the balance in ninety days. They
expected the crash and stood from un-
der, and yet the drop was so sudden that
many victims had not made their de-
ferred payments. The whole country
where speculation ran wild is being fore
closed on, and hard times prevail, such
as the Northwest has never had taste
of. People who counted themselves
rich, are now bankrupt, and cannot pay
their grocery bills. Those who could
have left the country. No money is in
circulation, and none is likely to be
brought in for years, as the memory Of
the "boom" and the "bust" will not die
out in this generation. The lesson Of all
this is that the man who is content to
follow legitimate business and take leg
itimate profits ID the safest and happiest,
and in the long run the most successful.

st. Paul Globe: Ayoung, smooth-look-
ing gentleman, wearing shining plug
hat, q large diamond and a lurking smile,
registered at the Hotel Brunswick last
week as F. G. Taylor, and represented
himself to the clerk as the advance
agent of Adam Forepaugh's circus. He
dressed very nicely, talked very smooth
" and spent money very freely. He
made a contract with the hotel people
for ninety-six members of the circus
company, which he said would be here
in May. He also made contracts with
one or two printing houses for poster
work, and sold to some of them quanti-
ties ola chromatlc ink which he sold
from samples cas- side speculation.
He also placed contract for bill-post-
ing with Mike Breslauer, and was APP
parently about ready to play his little
game when Mr.. Breslauer, suspecting
that all was not right, telegraphed to
Bob Campbell, Forepaugh's manager,
and discovered that Taylor was an inn
poster, being in no way connected, with
Forepaugh's show, and that he had
made a handsome thing in Sioux City,
Dubuque, Des Moines, Clinton, and
other towns, making contracts and then
borrowing money on the strength of
them. He made no attempt to obtain
money here, and soon after Mr.. Bres-
lauer heard from Campbell, Taylor
seemed to catch on" and left town.
The police were watching him here, and
waiting for him to do something to war;
rant his arrest. Taylor is understood to
be playing his game in Huron, Aber-
deem and other Dakota towns at present.

Muscle Without Meat.

MT. J. Williams Thorn, Blackhorse, Penn, now past three score and ten, has been strict vegetarian y-five years-living mostly on whole wheat bread and fruits. Alcoholic liquor and tobacco are never touched, ''even as medicine" He is still consistently busy doing more of the hardest farm labor "than any two fesh- eating workers to gether, young or old" He can walk twenty miles In half day without in- convenience or fatigue. Another wit ness appears in the we'll preserved per son .of Henry L. Fry, who, though just entering his eighty third year, is still an active principal in the Cincinnati School Of Wood Carving, and because of fine physique,a wonder to many. He is not so rigid as to eschew eggs and butter, but main reliance is on frui ts and vegetables of his own raising, and Food, Home and Garden says he is al- ways ready to give reasons for absti- hence from the worlds meat and drink, and argue for it's advantages.
