LOWER CALIFORNIA.
a Project on Foot to Add 1t to the Couns
try by Purchase.


Many people in the southern part OF
The State of California are interested
In a project to add to this Republic by
friendly purchase from Mexico the
territory Of Lower California Mr..
Vandever, one of the Representatives
Of California in Congress, has sug-
gssted plan for such an annexation.
He is of the opinion that, for the sum
Of, say twenty million dollars, Mexico
would be quite willing to part with
Lower California, as it puts the region
to very little use, and has already
granted large portion Of it to an
American commercial and colonizing
company.
Lower California has not, indeed,
received any development worth men
ton under the rule of either the Span
iards or the Mexicans. 1t has always
been regarded by them as almost val
ueless. A great part of this peninsula.
which extends for more than seven
hundred miles along the western coast
of Mexico, is mountainous, and other
parts are arid and sterile. There is,
however, on the other hand. much
land that might be rendered product
i've under enterprising Development,
and unquestionably certain wealth in
minerals exists. The climate of the
greater part of Lower California is
said to be quite as delightful and sa-
lubrious as that of Southern Cali
tornia, and the occupation Of SO much
of the land in the latter section by set
tlement has attracted attention to the
great peninsula to the southwark.
But Americans do not like to settle
in foreign land. They are excellent
colonists, but only under their own
flag. II is not at all likely that citi-
zens Of the United States would settle
in any large numbers in Lower Cali
fornia unless that territory were made
part of this Republic. Our people
have no disposition to possess them
selves OF this reg ion, or Of any other,
for that matter, except with the
friendly consent of the power to which
it is now subject. Having this fact in
view, it is stated that the representa-
tive from California named above,
Mr.. Vandever, will, at the next ses-
sion of Congress, present q resolution
looking to purchase.
II appears strange, beyond doubt,
that so vast country as Lower Cali
fornia should have remained for cent
uries undeyeloped and almost
fit is indeed region capable.of profit
lble development; but it is to be re-
membered that nearly all the territory
we have acquired from Mexico, in
cluding California itself, was pfacti-
cally an unde veloped wilderness until it
came under the influence Of American
enterprise. 1t is not at all probable
that Lower California would ever be a
second California or Texas. 1t does
not appear to possess more than a
fraction of the natural resources OF
either of those great States. 1t
might, possibly, make promising
new Territory if it could be acquired
under advantageous circumstances;
but the project will be far more inter-
esting to the people of California than
to those of any other part Of the coun-
try.-Youth's Com panion.

WASHINGTON'S INAUGURATION
From profusely illustrated series o.
articles on the Centennial Inauguration
in the April Century we quote the fol
lowing:
Washington was dressed in a full suit
of dark brown cloth manufactured il
Hartford, with metal buttons with an
eagle on them, and "with a steel-hilted
dress sword, white silk stockings, and
plain silver shoe buckles. His hair was
dressed and powdered in the fashion OF
the day and worn in bag and solitaire >
Chancellor Robert R. Livingston, one
of the committee of five to draft the
Declaration of Independence, thirteen
years before, was dressed in full suit
of black cloth and wore the robe of of
fee. Just before the oath was to be ad-
ministered it was discovered that no Bi-
bic was in Federal Hall. Luckily Liv-
ingston, a Grand Master of Free Masons
knew that there was one at st. Johns
Lodge in the City Assembly Rooms neal
by, and messenger was dispatched to
borrow the Bible, which is to-day the
property of st. Johns Lodge No. l, the
third Oldest Masonic lodge in the Uni
ted States.
Secretary Otis of the Senate held be-
fore him a red velvet cushion, upon
which rested the open Bible of st. Johns
Lodge. "You do solemnIy swear" said
Livingston, "that you will faithfully ex-
ecute the office of President of the Uni
ted States, and will, to the best of your
ability, preserve, protect, and defend the
Constitution of the United States" 81
do solemnly swear" replied Washing
ton, "that 1 will faithfully execute the
Office of President of the United States,
and will, to the best of my ability, pre-
serve, protect, and defend the Constitu-
tion of the United States" He then
bowed his head and kissed the sacred
Book, and with the deepest feeling utter
ed the words, $50 help me GOd!" The
Chancellor then proclaimed, "Long live
George Washington, President of the
United States" The instant discharge
of thirteen cannon followed, and with
loud repeated shouts and huZzas the peo-
PIE cIlou. 'UOU DIeSS our w dSnlnSIOn;
long live our beloved PreSidentw The
President bowed to the people, and the
air again rang with acclamations.-
Washington, followed by the campany
at the balcony, now returned to the Sen
ase Chamber, where he took his seat and
the Senators and Representatives their
seats. When Washington arose to speak
all stood and listened with eager and
marked attention"
After delivering his address the Pres
ident, accompanied by the Vice Presi-
dent, the Speaker, the two houses of
Congress, and all who attended the in
auguration ceremony, proceeded on foot
to St.Pauls Church. The same order was
preserved in the procession from the
Presidents house to Federal Hall. The
military "made good figure" as they
lined the street near the church. The
services in the church were conducted
by the Senate, the Rt. Rev. DR.. Samuel
Provost, Bishop of the Episcopal
Church of New York.
After prayers had been read and the
"Te Deum" sung, Washington entered
the state coach and was escorted home.
