the throng. The review began immedi-
a5ely after the presidents arrival. and
was indeed a beautiful spectacle.
Gen. Beaver, chief marshal. headed
the line. with Gen. Hastings as chief of
staff, followed by a great number OF
aides. AS they approached the stand
they barred their heads and gave the
president a marching salute. The pres
ident and Mr.. Morton returned the
compliment by removing their hats. At
the same time the band played Hail to
the Chief and the crowd cheered
vociferiOusly. The first division pre-
sented a splendid appearance. 1t was
composed of United States troops,
marines, naval apprentices and National
guards of the District. The president
recognized the salute of each command
ing officer by raising his hat. and he
also uncovered his head as each flag wa
dipped in salute. He spoke freely to
Mr.. Morton in commendatiOn OF the
marching of the different regiments.
Owing to the lateness of the hour, at
this time a number of organizations
dropped out of the line and did not pass
the reviewing stand, consequently the
programme of the procession was sOIne-
what broken. The cowboy club OF

and wore the picturesque dress of the
far west. They were accompanied
by the band Of the F1ambeau
club of Dodge City and bore
two unique banners surmounted by
enormous horns. Continuous rounds
of cheers greeted them all along the
line. Last of all came the contingent
of the colored Harrison and Morton
clubs from old Virginia, winding up
one of the grandest civic and military
pageants ever'seen in Washington, Just

procession turned into Pennsylvania
avenue on the maych to the White
House and interest in all else ceased.
Gen. Beaver rode in advance with his
head uncovered q great part of the time
in acknowledgement of the greeting of
the great multitude. Long lines of
troops and militia and civilians with
banners and guidOns flying in the north
ern wind, completely filled the vision.
Over all was heard the continuous roar
made up of the voices of the thousands
and thousands of spectators as they
cheered the presidential party or greeted
seine particularly fine looking body of
troops. Wh.n the head of the process
sion reached the treasury a halt was
called and the presidential party in its
own carriages turned OFF and drove rap
idly to the White House. When a hasty
luncheon had been taken the with

Olive Sclrciner, the author of "The
Story of an African Farm" was the
ninth in family of twelve children.
Her father was German missionary,
her mother the daughter of an English
Presbyterian minister. Where she OBJ
tanned her singularly unorthodox views
1t is hard to determine gcnealogically.
She was born on lonely mission sta
ton in South Africa, peopled entirely
by blacks, and found In this somewhat
dismal situation the material for her
dismal book. She is singular woman
and possessed Of strong, determined
character and an investigating mind
which, II is said, has led her to dip
deeply into nearly all the experiences
possible TO woman. She spent many
years of her life at this mission station
and was n grown girl before she ever
saw n town. Deep in her heart has lain
the determination to make London her
home ever since She was four years old
when she began saving all of her pen
MES in the hope of some day having a
pound-a tremendous sum, which, at
that age. she fully believed would de-
fray her travelling expenses from South
Africa to Great Britain Although she
outgrew this fond illusion, she con
tinued TO save her pennies, and she has
lived In London for the last seven years.
She constantly contributes to English
periodicals, and her work Is always
characterized by a certain mysticism
and an indefinablc, but quite pcrceptivc,
element of gloom. Into the african
Farm she is said TO have crowded the
result of her varied experience, and
this book, which was her first, is proph
csied by those who know her well, to
be, also, her last. Il Current Literature

The subject discussed was the slngle-tax
theory, and was opened by j. H. Ralston.
the essayist OF the evening. Mr.. Ralston
made an interesting argument, and indeed
painted very pretty picture. He was
vigorously opposed by W. A. Croirutt, who
strongly maintained that single taxation
meant infraction Of land, and that, II car
lied out, would result in socialism. Colonel
Hinton took the same view as Mr.. Croffut,
while General Mussey and Professor boo
