twenty i've years Of fasting. were sup
posed to have reached the highest point in

lions of the earth were as
nothing compared to the crush
OF well-dressed men and well.fed
citizens already here who feel that their
association with the Republican party
merits recognition at the hands OF General
Harrison. Most of the Republicans who
feel themselves entitled to recognition
have the advantage Of their Democratic
brethren OF four years ago in being adopts
In the art Of getting there. Many have
been there so often that 1t comes as natural
for them to seek an Cfilce as 1t does for
ordinary men to Ok their meals.

Thousands OF Dollars worth Of Material
Ends In smoke.

Ends in smoke.
WASHINGTON, March THE display Of
the deferred fireworks from the Monu.
ment Grounds last night was undoubtedly
the most brilliant ever witnessed In Wash.
ington. The exhibition began with an II.
Elimination Of Pennsylvania avenue, from
the Treasury Department to the Capitol, q
distance Of over one mile, by means Of
magnesium suns, and for the space Of Ave
minutes tho entire avenue glowed with
q rich and varied light At the
conclusion Of this illumination the
display at the monument began. First
. Presidential salute OF pyroiechnic
bombs fred from mortars and ex-
ploding with heavy reports high In the air
and then a bewildering flight Of rockets.
The night was uncommonly dark, and the
great white shaft Of the Washington mon-
ument afforded a back ground, the peer of
which can hardly be found in the world.
The lrst set piece displayed was large
portraits OF President Harrison and Vice.
President Morton framed In brilliant col.
ors, resting upon an easel. So life-like
were these portraits that at the distance Of
mile each was readily recognized. Fol.
lowing these came marvellous fountains
Of electric stais, myriads Of fly.
ing rockets in every conceivable
tint bombs which, bursting hun.
dreds Of feet in the air, discharged thou
sand smaller shells which in turn ex.
ploded, producing a grandly beautiful
effect and then bonflres OF colored light,
which, rejecting its rays upon the great
white ob,lisk, transformed IL into q shaft
OF FURNISHED brass, and again into one Of
garnet and then Of emerald or sapphire,
the whole towering ST. ucture vividly out
lined against a sky Of intense black.
Another set piece pictured the south front
Of the. White House, every detail OF pillar
and capital. window and caivei cornice
appearing with perfect distinctness. Tho
last Of the set pieces represented the Cap
itol, the closing scsne Of the exhibi-
tion was indeed a gorgsousy brilliant
one. Tens of thou sands Of blue rockets
exploded by electricity shot up from the
base of the monument to it, very summit.
Thousands Of other, In yellow. scarlet,
green, purple and garnet follow, d in quick
succession until the whole sky was nfame
with scintillating stars OF wondrots hues
This great erup ion con inued for some
time, Illuminating the who heavens with
its strangely beautiful light
