The lumber yards of the city have been taxed
to supply lumber for the viewing stands that
have sprung up in every open space
along Pennsylvania avenue. Even the
Cogswell fountain has been hidden for a
time beneath a mountain of boards, and visi-
tors to the city will be denied the pleasure Of
studying this work Of art. The arrange
ments for the procession are rapidly
being made. Tomorrow the marshals
of various divisions will meet here with the
grand marshal Gen Beaver At this meeting

civic and military, that have reported and
asked for place in the line. After this con-
sultation the final order of procession will be

A CLERayMANs NEW TITLE.
One result of the preparations for the
Inauguration has been liberal distribution
Of military titles among persons hith-
erto innocent Of such distinction. This
has come about partly through the fact
that so many persons with military titles are
connected with the committees. that to be on
the safe side, persons addressing anyone around
headquarters, if in doubt. usually begin with
"Colonel' or Major" Then persons in other
cities writing to the committee have addressed
Chairman Britton as governor" or general"
and applied titles Of a lower grade to other
persons connected with the committee. One
somewhat comical thing has occurred.
Rev. Rush R. Shipper, the pastor Of
All Souls church, makes no pretensions
to military fame or to q warlike disposition.
He il q member Of the reception committee.
and in the list Of that committee just pub
lished he is put down as "Col R. r. Shipper"
He sent a mild protest to headquarters to-day.
