seats were assigned to distinguished people in
y!ted to witness the ceremony The Supreme
Court, members of the Diplomatic Corps, Sena-
tors ana Representatives heads of Departments
and newspaper correspondents all had places
assigned them. In the rear, seats were devoted
to members of the families of Senators and
representatives, local officials and people who
were fortunate enough to obtain tickets of adj
mission to the Capitol
President Harrlson's determination not to dis
appoint the people assembled to witness his in

address from the stand of the east portico
When the procession reached the head of the

1000 people standing in font of and on either

kerchieIs and umbrellas were waved and for
several minutes it was impossible for the Presi-
dent TO proceed. Chief Justice Fuller took his
seat on the lett of Harrison, and Vice President
Morton on his right. The President sat in the
chair which George Washington occupied when

seemed very pale and nervous. Before him

The Justices of the Supreme Court took the
seats assigned them, holding umbrellas over
their heads, but the great number of chairs
placed in the rear for occupancy by invited
guests were vacant.
TAKING THE OATH.
AS the President and Chief Justice arose, Har-
rison placed his hand on the Bible, and both
faced the crowd ith uncovered heads. In clear
tones OF voice Justice Fuller read the oath, and
Harrlsons response, Il do,' was equally en-
phafic. The PRESIDENT replaced his hat. Ser
geant-a Arms Canaday stepped to the front and
held an umbrella over General Harrison's head.

THE GREAT PARADE.
The Most Magnificent Parade Yet Seen
at the National Canital

When General Harrison had concluded this
delivery of his address the military line wa.
reformed and the parade proper began. bat
terry OF artillery fired salute to the new CHIEF
Magistrate, who re-entered the Capitol and pro
ceeding again to the Senate wing accompariied
by Mr. Morton, and the committee entered,theiI

avenue and street.. 1t moved out promptly
and was followed by the third, fourth and NTH
divisions. which were massed on the streets
acjaeent to the Capitol grounds.
THE PENNSYLVANIA TROOPS
The second division attracted more attention
than any other feature of the parade It was
composed exclusively of the National Guard of
Pennsyivania, 5000 strong, commanded by Ma
Jor-General John F. Hartranft. This militia was
the feature of the Garfield and Cleveland inau-
gural parades.
The procession was of great length and EN-
braeed many notable features. 1t was by all
odds the greatest display of the kind ever wit
messed here.

White House, was escorted, in company with

The INAUGURAL
President Harrison's Address HIS
Pledges to the People.


My Feiio,o-citi-ens. There is no constitutional
or legal requirement that the President shall
take the oath of office in the presence OF the
people. But there is so manifest an appropri.
ateness IN the public interest in the chief ex-
ecutive officer OF the nation that from the be-
ginning of the Government the people to whose
service the official oath consecrates the officer
nave been called to witness the solemn cere
mony. The oath taken in the presence of the
people becomes mutual covenant The officer
covenants to serve the whole body of the people
by the faithful execution OF the laws SO that
they may be the uniailing defense and security
OF those who respect and observe them, and
that neither wealth, station nor power of COM
binations shall be able to evade their just penal
ties or wrest them from benefcent public pur-
pose to serve the ends of cruelty or selfishness
My promise is spoken, yours unspoken, but not
the less real and solemn. The people OF every
State have here their representatives. surely

may reyerently expect the favor and help of
Almighty ood that he may give TO me the wis

spirit OF fraternity and love of righteousness
and peace.
This occasion derives peculiar interest from the

THE INAUGURAL BALL
A Scene of Beauty and Splepdor-The
Finale of the Inauguration.

WASHINGTON March 4th-The great court Of
the Pension Building is tonight Illuminated
with light and color as to the seductive music OF
the great orchestras thousands glide through
the moveme nts of the dance or stroll in the cor
ridors aad promenades admiring and contribut-
lug to The marvellous beauty of the scene. The
court of the new Pension Building is undoubt
edly the largest and grandes interior of its kind
on this continent, and in respect to symmetrical
beauty 1t has few superiors in the world. The
area of tassalated floor is about q, 900 square
feet, or very nearly an acre.
Four years ago, when the first Inauguration
ball was held here, the then unfinished condi-
ton of the building rendered highly effective
decoration exceedingly difficult, and in some
respects quite impossible, but tonight the per
feetion of decorative ait seems to have been
attained.
GORGEOUS SCENE
The ballroom is indeed a picture of fairyland.
A thousand 1ncardescent lights flooded the
building with softened radiance. Choice flow
|, ers pertumed the air and delighted the eye,
while strains of music fell sensuously upon the
ear. The decorations were finer than ANYTHING
ever attempted before at an inaugural ball The
most conspicuous feature of the interior was the
two-story Japa pagoda in the center of lthe
hall. The lower part of the pagoda was grotto
built of rock and ferns around the fountain, a
picturesque retreat for the dancers. where they
could rest surrounded by the glamor of flowers
soft lights and running water. On the second
floor OF ta5 pagoda was string band of 100 per-
formes,. playing the music for the dance
Above them, on the third gallery, was the Ma
ripe Band, which conducted the promenade
concert. The structure was covered with flags
and bunting, here and there illuminated with
sparks from electric lights. Portraits of Har-
rison and Morton were placed on the front, and
running entirely around the structure, Just
above the first story, was line of shieles, each
bearing the name of State or Territory. On
the top of the pagoda the word Constitution
blazed forth in letters of fire.
The eight massive columns supporting the
lofty roof were twined with laurel garlands and
palm leaves. The decorations of the room

Life is crucible; we are thrown

Quarrels would never last long if
the trouble was on one side.
The man who can support himself

any more than insoIence is briIliancy.
Our greatest glory is not in never
falling, but rising every time we fall.
That action is hest which procures
the greatest happiness for the great

originality is simplicity, which no

Some one has well said. that while
we can not control our circumstances.
yet we can control what we shall do
in the circumstances.
Pride. like the magnet, constantly
points to one object, self; but, unlike
