A Great American Tour.

AS showing the possibilities of American
travel by rail, the tour which Dr. W.
Seward Webb, president of the Wagner
Sleeping Car Company, and a party of his
invited guests are about to take is probably
unequaled This trip, which begins this
week, win occupy three months, and cover
route $1,000 miles long. The party will
start in fnely-equipped special train
from New York, stopping in succession at
Niagara, Chicago, Omaha, Kansas City,
Denver, Colorado Springs, Santa Fe, El
Paso, Vera Cruz, Mexico.
Thence returning to FL Paso, the party
will go on to Los Angeles over the South
ern Pacific Road, visit Santa Barbara, Santa
Monico, San Diego and Monterey, where
they Will stop a month in cottage, max
ing excursions to the Yosemite Valley, &c.
Then the route will take In Portland Ore
gon, and Tacoma, W. T. Then eastward
on the Northern Pacific to Helena, Mont,
to St Paul and Winnipeg, and West again
TO Vancouver Island.
Time will be taken for fishing and hunt
ing and from Vancouver finally a straight
run will be made over the Canadian Pacific
Road through to New York. The excur-
sionists will comprise family party aud
include ladies and children. The trip, II Is
thought, will be the longest ever made by
rail; II viii certainly comprehend the see
ing OF such sights and experiencing such
varieties of climate and scenery as no tour
OF the world can match.

SOME PERSONAL MATTERS.


The most sensational item In the current
literary news of Paris is to the effect that
Alphonse Daudet has had his hair cut.
Mr.. De Bensaude, who was married TO
the notorious Violet Cameron, is making q
fine fortune in the London tea trade, while
his rival in his wife's affections, Lord
Lonsdale, is coquetting with polar bears
and icebergs.
Governor Francis of Missouri has per-
formed the rare and tlifiicult feat OF com
plimenting both the blue and gray by ap-
pointing an Adjutant-Generai who, II is
said, went into the war with one color and
came out in the other, having served under
both flags before the war was over
Colonel Elliot F. Shepard, the editor Of
the New York; Mail and Express, carries a
tortoise shell handled cane. On the broad
gold band dividing the handle OF the cane
from the stick the following suggestive
text is engraved: "a soft answer turneth
away WRATH
The Duke Of Dino has been plunging
heavily at Monte Carlo. He went there not
| long ago with few francs in his pockets.
Luck was In his favor, aud he made 800, 900
francs. Heis now dropping this by degrees

Very pale tints will run this spring.
The twice-round has not made hit.

Novelties in cameo stone for umbrella

Nature has to pave the way for the man
who would look well in knee breeches.
Velvet collars on dress suits, London
fad in small way, has not caught on here
Furcollars and cuffs for overcoats are
sold by New York outfltters at from IS up
per set.
Some of the new scarfs make fellow as
conspicuous as a highly polished name
plate on shabby front door.
The clothiers all over the country report
a decided increase in the demand for ready
made swallow-tail coats.
White effects in full-dress jewelry con-
tinue in great demand, though the plain
gold is by no means losing its popularity.
Detachable cape overcoats made up In

Match boxes, cigar cases, gentlemen's

one-third Of their original cost by we'll

Sailor knots of moderate size are worn by
many of the most fastidious drcssers in

ruE rNAuouRAL ADDREss.

President Harrison's inaugural al.
dress was what was expected of the
man, a clear exposition Of what were
his views upon the condition of the
country and the best policy for the
future. 1t was, as contemporary has
well put it, sensible American talk, T"
and what should be desired from a
President. t.elect.
OF course an inaugural address does
not determine the character Of an Ad-
ministration. 1t is one thing to recon-
mend, another TO execute, but the course
of the President thus far in his political
career has not been such as to indicate
him lacking in any of the courage of
his convictions. We are likely to have
an Administration with properly
sized "A"

AlpAuon,s--MARY ANDERSON.

AlbAiNh H---MAht ANDEh5ONs
Mary Anderson in "Pygmalion and Gala
teal and in "Comedy and Tragedy was
the attraction at Albaughs last night, and
1t filled the house, mostly with Inaugura-
tion visitors. Whether Miss Anderson has
improved or not since she was here last In
the same parts is not stated, but she GER
tainly received an amount OF applause
which was most gratifying. She was re-
peatedly called before the curtain, and at
one time II appeared that she was not going
to get away without making speech
Miss Tilbury, as Cynisod, also received a
call. Mr.. Barnes Pygmaiion was fair, and
Mr.. Joseph Anderson's Lencippe was quite
attic in It's breeziness. Miss Ayston's
Mwino was pretty, and Mr.. Taylor and
Mrs. Ellington, as Mr.. and Mrs Chrysor,
were pair to draw to- In both plays all
the support was very good. The enthusiasm
of the audience was violent Again to-
night.
NATIoNAL--PAuL KAuvAR.
"Paul Kauvar, which we have seen in
Washington was presented at the National
last nigbtbefore astandipg-room-only house
and once more justified It's claim to great
ness. II is put on in the best possible
manner and is In the hands Of most capa-
BILE company. Again tonight.
HARRIS BIJoU--MIxED pIoKELs.
j. b. Polk, in "Mixed Pickels," caught n
great big house at the Bijou last night and
shook all the buttons off It's vest. "Mlxed
Pickles" takes crowd by storm and its
funny business, bright dialogues and ticklish
situations never fall to stir the laugh out OF
the most solemn spleens. Miss Julia Polk
and q rattling good company assist In the
amusing ceremonies and the result is some
| tbtftn xynrth aQptnn Anuip tA.nfnlt and
! usual matinees.
HERNAN's--IEAvITT's NOVELTIES.
The novelty Of midnight performance
was attempted Sunday and Monday nights
| at Kernan's, and met with great success
the strangers in town coming down In
force. Last night NJ. b. Leavitt's European
| Novelties filled the house beyond its capa-
city, FIVE hundred people standing on the
| everything new and foreign The imta-
| tions, music, singing, dancing and other
! specialties are OF the highest order. Again
tonight and usual matinees.
GLoBE-<vARIETIEs.
The variety entertainment at the Globe
is, as usual, lively one, with every variety
of variety, and all good. For tip-top
| variety place the Globe is a hustler. Prices,
| 10, 90 and 80 cents.
sTODDARD LECTURES.
This evening at the Congregational
Church Mr.. John L. Stoddard will begin
his new series of lectures. The subject OF
the lecture is "Old England giving
glimpses of travel and life In the Mother
| Country. The illustrations will be very
beautiful. The same lecture will be re-

What did the baby see yesterday?
Nobody knows but the baby.
1t clapped its hands at the big parade,
But "goo-goo-goon was all IL said,
Though 1t thought of many things,
maybe;
For babies, before they can talk, some say,
May look down the futures misty way
And see what is coming to pass one day.
And perhaps somewhere in the pageant's
state
The child saw the next Chief Magistrate,
But never word the baby said,
AS II spatted its hands and tossed its head,
But ''goo-goo-goo"
What did the baby see yesterday?
Nobody knows but the baby.

Were you there at the ball last nightS
Egadl Twas beautiful sight!
Were you there at the ball last nightP
Did you catch the sweet strains Of the music
divine
When a shoe number Q and boot num-
Der o
Swept over the tile in rhythm complete
A waltzing tetrameter-dance of four
feet
In measures of ecstasy past all compare
Meath the brilliant festoon and the lamps
golden glare.
Gee whiz! Twas glorious sight!
Were you there at the ball last night?
Were you there at the ball last night?
Where the Army aud Navy, the Bench and
the State, .s
great
In wonderful current, which nothing
could stop,
Poured into the building and whirled in the
hop
TIL the gray lines of morning were drawn
'cross the sky
Aud the warmth Of their greeting was
chilled in good-by-
Great Scott Twas notable sight.
Were you there at the ball last nightV
Were you there at the ball last nightY
There was many striking and beautiful
There were billows Of shoulders and pillows
Of lace;
There were roses as red as the honey-bee
sips,
Not redder nor sweeter than thousands Of
lips;
Celestial aud saxon--all entered who'd
pay
There were maidens from Oshkosh and men
from Cathay.
BY Jove! Twas curious sight
Were you there at the ball last night
Were you there at the ball last nightP
There. might you divine what democracy
means,
For lesson was taught In its glittering
scenes;
The social stock market endured such Jar,
All went up or down until Just touching
par;
And a man was a man though he might be
''iD trade,n
SO long as he knew how to dance with n
maid.
Twas a charming quadrennial sight
Say, were you NJ the ball last nightp
Thank goodness the election is over at
last
The Inauguration having been success
fully accomplished, the blue sky will re-
sumo business at the old stand.
THE REPUBLICAN ADVENT.
