the Densest Masses of the Whole Crowded
Day.
WASHINGTON, March The shifting scenes
of the great inaugural panorama eliminated to-
night in the brilliant ball at the new Pension
Building. No more glorious pageant ever
marked the mOmentous transfer OF the dcstinies
OF a Nation into new and honored hands. Aside
from all the patriotic sentiment which clothes
such Hn event us this in National importance,
the eye fcasted on a scene unparalleled
IN magnitude, splendor and social eclat,
Tho richly draped galleries corridors and
apartments. made artistic backgrounds for
the notable assemblage Of men and
women from all parts OF the country, who prom.
rIaded the stately lengths OF .he vast hall or
watched the gay scene from the Galleries. Aside
from the radiant pleasure OF such o picture,
and fOrgetful Of the decorations that seemed
so well harmonious part OF it, there was an
atmosphere Of refinement and OF beauty that
marked with an lndelible touch the progre IS OF
a great nation in those subtle arts that wealth
can not eyince without cultivation and taste.
The fashion and wealth, manhood and glrlnood,
youth and beauty, and-must il be said!-old
age, made up the tide of human life which
swept continuously about from one emu or the
vast court TO the other.
From the galleries the lights and shadows Of
all the swinging lights aud futtering draper!es
thrown upon this brilliant asscmblage, made
the attractiveness of the view the more pleas
ingly bewilderlng,
All brightness and all light was fitting ac

ard splendid gowns, observed on every side.
The simple splendor Of the Republican court
was forgotten in the preparation for such an
event
The foreign Ministers donned their court cos
tunes, resplendent with bullion embroidery
and the flashing OF jeweled orders and usgnias.
The fairest bellies at the Capital whose aug
meuted population may be said TO have
snatched a beauteous, graceful or manly form
from every great city in the country, outshone
one another in the dain tiness, the picturesque

Human Ingenuity Is more devilish
than angelic, and Is more alert TO de-
stroy than to create 1t Is q general
proposition that what n man may do
another can undo. II being easier some
vha. to mar than to make For years
lock-smiths and safe-builders have
racked their brains and employed
their cunning to devise a safe that
should be absolutely burglar us we'll
as nre-proof. AS tho builders have
improved their steel castings and com
b~inut.ons, time-locks. etc, the burglar
has bothered his tools or extended his
methods OF operation and it has
been found that, given q fair show,
the burglar will get into any safe that
can BIO set against him. In recent
years n high degree OF perfection in
the construction Of safes has been ar
rived ut, and many good men put their
money confidently into tho latest i'm
proved reccptacles, convinced that no
burglar hns tho art to penetrate the

getically and intelligently to work in

In Cincinnati tho other night no
operated upon Il safe that was obduratc
to tho usual methods OF persuasion.
Tho safe was not to DO opened with
tools, nor was there much temptation
to drill holes into it and blow 1t open
with powder or dynamite. Tho job
wal TO be done expcditiously aud noise
lessly. Ergo. the burglar. brought to
bear tho powerful clamp in general
use in safe factories. a simple and OF
fcctive instrument, by the aid OF which
the spindle was pulled entirely out OF
tho lock. tho tumblcrS OF the lock nj
lowed to drop down. utter which tho
safe bolts were drawn by the mere
turning OF the knob. Tho clamp is n
heavy bar OF steel bent in the form oil
q half square. with q threaded hole in

In tho House every Republican

their hands when they vote to make
Il Republican majority in Congress.

namely, that any nan in n silver

for Reed. II no did, tho people of
