and cleans lamps, opens the shutters and the

WashinGton's Inauguration Oath.
From the New York Commercial Advertiser
In an article recently published in the New
York 1sibsas the statsment il made, ON the au-
thority Of the late Col. James Watson Webb,
that his father, General Samuel B.
Webb, - grand marshal of the in
ausuration Of Warrington on April 80,
1859, held the Bible upon which he Cwashing-
toni took the oath of Office % president.
Every student Of American history knows the
inaccuracy of this statement, and have
waited TO see it contradicted by some one more
interested In the question than the writer.
The marshal ON the occasion was Colonel
Morgan Lewis, and the Bible was held by the
secretary OF the senate, Samuel 8. Otis.
copy Of the ofncial program Of the exercises,
sill preserved in the archives Of the New
York historical society, where IL may be seen.
Irving, In his life o. Warrington, thus re-
cords the solemn peocoeding:
'The chancellor Livingston) advanced to
administer the oath prescribed by the consti-
tuition, and Mr.. Otis, The secretary Of the Sem
ate, held up the Bible on the crimson cushion
the oath was read slowly and distinctly; Wash
ington at the same time laying his hand on the
open Bible. When il was concluded he replied
solemnly: 4 swear, % help me God Mr..
Otis would have raised the Bible to his own
i! but he bowed down r'v'rsn'ly and kissed
Special interest attaches to the accuracy OF
this statement, from the near approach Of the
April next for which great preparations are
making. and every fact bearing upon the origi-
nal Observance should be indisputably estab.
lished.

A New Kind of Pail Factory.


A pretty good story was heard yesterday
concerning well-known stock broker, whose
autograph IL familiar on several of the hotel
registers. The gentleman in question does
business in the city, and is the owner Of beau.
tiful home in suburban town. When he
erected this magnificent house it set all the
village neighbors to gossiping. 1t was won.
dered what business the owner was engaged in
in fact, there we're many anxious inquiries Oh
this score. One evening one Of the interested
ladies asked her husband:
"What business is Mr.. engaged in?'
'Why, he has a bucket shop in the city," was
the reply.
"Oh, yes.'
A few evenings later tea party was given at
q certain house, and the ladies'. of course, be-
gan to discuss the affairs Of their neighbors.
Suddenly one of them said:
II would like to know what Mr.. -, who
built that new house, does for a iving?''
This was q chance for the wise lady, and she
replied: "Oh, know; he has a pail factory in
Cleveland, and does big business"
This was satisfactory, and the story has been
going the rounds ever since

Edison On Aerial Navigation.


In connection with aerial navigation recall
o conversation which had one evening with
Mr.. Edison. do not remember his exact words,
but his idea is submitted. He believed that
the time would come when transportation
through the air would be the order of
things in that line. Many persons in talk
Ing Of this sort Of transportation had the err
roneous notion thatan air ship, or car, or what
ever it would be, must 90 up a mile or more.
This was not necessary. II it were no higher
than the ordinary building that would suffice.
when the time comes for it to be put in
operation" he said, "there will be one draw
back to it, and that II the ease which it will
afford criminals in making their escape from
whatever point their crime was committed.
There will be no danger Of their being inter-
cepted by wire, a. is the case now. It may be
that the same science which will give US this
sort Of navigation will provide something else
by which criminals, who make their escape
through the air, will be overtaken. But this
will take time. In my opinion when we shall
have aerial navigation We shall see more
crime"

PERSUASION.
An Omaha special to the New York World
says: A remarkably bold and sensational case
Of abduction came to light here to-day. Last
Friday night the Rev. DR.. Duryea, then stopping
at the Murray, was sitting in his room when
young woman came to him and told q most
extraordinary story. She had just escaped, for
the first time, she said, from a man who was
lying in q drunken stupor in another room.
Her name was May Minsrd, and her home was
in Elgin, Ill. The man who had held her captive
OF Providence, r. !. Miss Minard SAYS she
met him in society while visiting in Providence
several months ago. He became infatuated
with her and proposed, but was rejected Last
week, when she returned to Elgin, he followed
and mistakenly continued his suit One day he
found her alone at the house Of a relative and,
drawing revolver, threatened to kill her un-
less she accompanied him. They then took
the train for Omaha. On the way here Nc
Adams fell in with convivial companions and
became very intoxicated. He was still in that
condition when they arrived in this city last
Friday evening, and were driven to the Muir
ray in cab.
Shortly after they retired to their room he
fell asleep, and Miss Minard, slipping out,
sought the clerk and asked him where she could
find o minister. She was referred to Dr. Dur
yea, to whom she told her story and appealed
for assistance. She was kept at the house Of
Mrs Henry until to-day, when she started back
to Elgin. McAdams in the meantime had en-
Henry's house. McAdams then demanded pos
session Of her, alleging that she was his wife.
A policeman was called, but made no attempt to
arrest him and he escaped.
