WASHINGTON, March 1.-The stately
bomp and pageantry OF the day has
been succeeded by a scene of enchant-
ing beauty. The great court OF the pen
sion building is tonight ablaze with
light and color, and to the seductive
music of the great orchestras thousands
of fair women and brave men glide
through the Sinuous movements of
the dance, or stroll in the
long corridors and promenades, adj
miring and contributing to the
marvellous beauty of the scene.
The court of the new pension building
is undoubtedly the largest and grand
est interior of its kind on this continent,
and in respect of symmetrical beauty it
has few sUperiorS in the world. The
$1,000 square feet, or very nearly an
acre. The court is divided into three
sections by two transverse screens
of four immense columns. each
eighteen feet in circumference
ut the base, and nearly ninety
feet in height, surmounted by
elasSically beautiful corinthian capitals.
These columns support wide, high
arches, upon which rest the roofs.
There are four entrances to the build
Ing, one on each side. The galleries,
which extend around the four sides of
the court, are supported by $50 gold
bronzed pillars of the Ionic and
Doric orders. and are reached
10y four broad staircases of
easy ascent. Opening upon the
main floors of the court and upon the
first and secohd galleries are the offices
and work rooms of the 1900 clerks now
employed i'll the pension bureau. Four
years ago, when the first Inauguration
ball was held here, the then unfinished
condition of the building rendered
highly effective decoration exceedingly
difficult, and in some respects impos-
sible. But tonight the perfection of
decorative art seems to haue been at
tained,

THE COLORS WERE NOT FAST
The Rain Plays Havoc With Red.
White and Blue Muslin

True it is that where, from economi-
cal motives, cheap-colored muslins en-
tered largely into decorations, the
plenteous washing of the rain had
caused the colors to flow. Eagles, orr
ginally white, flushed an angry red at
the treatment. and the portraits of the
next president and vice president as
sumed bilious blue tinge. But not
withstanding the draperies took on an
aspect never expected by the decorator.
the effect was not diminished, as
hard lines were broken up and
hid subtly where they met. The
first idea of the average Washing
tonlan as he stepped from his house this
morning and one that seemed almost a
fair inference from the volume of sound
that filled the air was that every visit
ing militiaman had brought with him a
musician possessed of an enthusiastic
devotion to 4 brass horn or drum. The
sun may have risen but for the drum
majors, but they were sufficiently
numerous in the early morning hours
to divert attention from all less COR
geous objects. Before the dawn, the

MORTON TAKES THE OATH.
An Impressive Scene in the Sen.
ate When the Vice President Is
Sworn In


WASHINGTON, March 4.-The regular
business of the senate proceeded with
out much show of interest. Meantime
the members of the diplomatic corps
had assembled in the marble room, and
at 11:15 the senate was called to order
by Senator Ingalls,, and the senators
rose as the diplomats entered. Many of
them were in military attire, the Chi
neSe in their Silken robes and the Co.
reanS with their funny bird-cage hats.
The members of the corps were shown
to the seats in the, first two rows on
the west side of the chamber.
Shortly after they were seated,
The members of the cabinet, accom-
panied by the retired general of
the army, the major general of the
army commanding, and the admiral of
the navy entered. They were received
by the senators standing and were
shown to seats arranged in the semi
circle in front and to the left Of the pre-
siding officer. The members of the SUI
preme court, clad in their black silk
robes, and led by Chief Justice Fuller,
took the corresponding seats on the op-
posite side of the chamber. The vener-
able Hannibal Hdmlin, the only living
eX-vice president, occupied seat at the
right of the presiding officer and the
committee on arrangements sat
on the left. Shortly before
IL O'Clock the members of
the house of representatives and MEM
bers-elect, led by Speaker Carlisle, en-
tered the senate chamber by the main
entrance and took seats on the right of
the chair next to the diplomatic corps.
The governors of states, eX-senators of
the United States, judges of the court
of claims and of the supreme court of
the district, and the commissioners of
the District of Columbia, were assigned
to seats on the east side of the chamber,
behind those occupied by the senate.
Among the familiar faces present were
those of ex-senator Window, of Mime
sofa: ex-senator Feary, of Michigan;
Gov. Rusk. of Wisconsin, and Gov. For
aker.

They Pause at the Balcony Rail
and Survey the Throng.
Before retiring to their rooms the
president and vice president, at the
request of Gen. McCammon, came
to the railing Of the balcony
overlooking the ball room,
and for several minutes watched
the gay throng moving below. Another
brief reception was then held, and at
11:50 O'Clock the presidential and vice
presidential parties, escorted by the re-
ception committee, left the building.
Cheers greeted them necessarily as they
descended the stairs and walked out
of the ball room. The arrangements for
this grand finale of the Inauguration
celebration have been admirable. The
attendance ESTIMATED at 1000 has ex-
ceeded that of any previous ina ugura
ton ball, but with keen foresight into
the possible emergencies that might
arise, and with absolute thorough
ness of method, everything seems
to have been done necessary for
the comfort of those attending.
Large numbers of people left the build
ing immediately after the departure of
President Harrison, and by midnight
the floor was sufficiently cleared for
dancing. At that hour the picture pre-
sented from an upper gallery was in
deed one of imposing grandeur and
surprising loneliness. The brilliant
toilets of the dancers, the thousands of
silken banners, flags and streamers,
the stately garlands, wreathed columns,
the rich shadow of the heavy damask.
satin and velvet hangings, the odor of
the flowers, the music, the flood of radi-
ance from thousands of colored lights.
the great canopies of color overhead, all
united to charm the senses and fill the
mind with wondering admiration.

din began. Belated troops cames into
town, filed out of the railroad: stations
and took up their hungry march
to breakfast to the STRAINS
OF the Boulanger Quickstep and
other military airs. Organization
from Baltimore marched gaily to their
rendezvous with flying banners and
playing bands. The air was filled with
sound; it throbbed with the cadence Of
marching feet of thousands; it quivered
with the shrill pipe of the fife and the
! snare of the kettledrum and it rung
with the blare of the brass horn. The
horn particularly seemed to be every
where, and they all seemed to be of the
family of that French postillion, which,
as Munchausen relates, when hung in
generous warmth gave out with undi-
unfinished force all the notes frozen into
1t during long periods of time. To
swell the din, an army of fakirS gave

THEY ALL DECORATED. II

IHEY ALL DECORATED. II =
Government Buildings, Private
Houses and Hotels Alike Cow
cred With Bunting.
Few indeed were the houses along the
avenue, from,the capitol to the treasury,
not arrayed in holiday attire. The
hotels and other buildings of public
character were Ornamented with a
layishness never before equaled, while
from every window and cornice of the
business places and shops the national
colors were displayed in streamers, ban
ners, flags and lines Of beauty. Here
the decorator achieved his perfect
work. Where all of the bunting came
from was mystery. 1t waved
from lofty poles in banners. of
imperial size, it dangled from
slender ropes and wires in thousands
of little triangles and pieces of fantastic
shape: it ran riot like the eyolutionS of
giant creepers across the vast eXpanses
of brick, and everything it touched it
glorified. Viewed from the eminence of
Capitol hill, the general effect was as if
the spectator looked into some giant
Kaleidoscope, so warm and rich and full
of prismatic coloring was the scene.
And that impression was further borne
out if one changed his point of view, for
at every step new combination was
effected, the first picture van
ished and the pieces rearranged
themselves in new and even
more admirable designs. A notice
able feature of the day was the profuse
decoration of houses on side streets and
avenues. remote from the line of march.
Discrimination would seem to be almost
invidiOuS, but it is only just to say that
of all the squares on the route those on
Pennsylvania avenue, between Seventh
and Thirteenth streets, showed the
most elaborate decorations. Here was
grouped number Of the largest bust
ness houses in the city, which honored
the day with particular Iiberality. 1t
would be impossible to give correct
idea of the adornments of the avenue in
detail beyond those of few of the pub

A PROMENADE.
The Presidential Party Make q
Tour of the Ball Room.

About half-past ten President Harri-
son was joined by the ladies OF his
party, and the reception committee,
forming line three and four abreast in
the front and rear of the party, a
procession was made up for a tour
Of the ball room. At the special request
of President Harrison that no police
should surround him. the pleasurable
ence Of the crowd was devolved upon
the committeeman. From the stairway
leading to the floor, the ball
room presented the spectacle of a
vast sea of faces apparently occu-
pylng every inch of space. President
Harrison expressed his doubts of the
possibility of opening passage way,

once said: ut cannot be that earth
is mans only abiding place. It can
not be that life is a bubble cast up by
the ocean Of eternity, to float a mo-
ment on its waves and then sink into
nothingness. Else why these high
and glorious inspirations which leap
like angels from the temple of our
hearts, forever wondering unsatisied?
Why IS It that the rainbow and the
cloud come over US with a beauty
that is not of earth, and then pass off
and leave US to muse on their lowell
ness? Why is It that the stars which
hold their festival around the mid
night throne, are set above the limit
ed faculties, forever hooking us with
their unapproachable glory? And
finally, why is it that the bright forms
of human beauty are presented to our
view and taken from US, leaving the
thousand streams of our affections to
flow Baek in Alpine torrents upon
our hearts? We were born for a
higher destiny than earth. There is

things that pass before US viii stay

Small on Prohibition.

Sam Small has been dealing some
telling blows at the saloon keepers of
Omaha. He addressed a large au-
dience IN that city Monday night on
prohibition. Sam speaks by the card
for he was seventeen years a patron
Of the dramshop. He is, therefore,
familiar with the methods Of the
dramseller. He is described as "a
tall, awkward man, whose clothes are
far from a fit, and whose long, bOny
face does not contradict the owners
oft repeated assertion that for seven
teen years he drank and debauched
more than anybody. A heavy, dark
mustache tumbles over an amply
sized mouth and ever and anon
switches among three or four black
ened stubs OF teeth"
The reverend gentleman talked
very plain English at Omaha, and
though given to bOmbast and rant,
he handled the saloon element with
out gloves. One statement Is worth
reproducing. He said:
Saloon keepers are the only men
whom the American people have al
lowed to organize against the law Of
America and talk about an anarchist!
You don't have to 60 to Chicago to
find a real live and kicking anarchist.
You can find an anarchist behind
every bar-saIoon BARN your own
city Of Omaha. Saloon keepers will
tell you that there is a law against
selling liquor but that public seRtI-
ment Is really against the law. There's
a law allowing coloFed men In the
South TO vote, but why don't they
Public sentiment is against it. Now,
Just as we bring out the United States
army to help the cOl0red man vote,
SO are We going to bring out that
same army to make saloon keepers In
prohibition states obey the liquor
laws. 1t may not be in your time
probably after you're dead-but il
you're up above you can look down
and see Il done, and If you're down
below you can hear It.

worse than Death

One day last week David Hills
hounds by their barking called his
attention to the old dugout on the
Benjamin ranch west Of town and up-
on investigation RIr. Hill discovered a
man in a condition too wretched to
describe. The neighbors and town
ship trustee, Joseph Waters, were
called in and everything possible was
done to relieve the sufferer. DIR.
Lawrence was called and from him
we learn that the man is sadly de
ranged. He says his name is De
l8ncy and claims to have worked near
Lenora and Red Cloud, Neb. His
toes and a part Of one foot are gone
and the same Is true of his hands and
fingers, which he says were frozen
off. His breast is one solid sore,
caused by blistering, which leads the
doctor to believe he has been under
medical treatment before wandering
to this place. He is past sixty and is
a powerfully built man with a finely
developed head At times he talks of
a wife and son and at other times he
claims that he has no friends or rel
atives.
LATER: -The poor old man died
Monday and was buried in the Logan
cemetery Tuesday. He was cared
for and buried properly. The body
indicates that for some cause the man
has been horribly treated before com
ing here, and one could hardly con-
ceive that sixty years ago he was the
pride of a fond mother. Who can
doubt that the sufferer has at last
found what the world has so long de
MED him, rest It is thought from
his talk that his son lives in Ness
county. His name he gave as w. H.
