came the arrival of the diplomatic corps,
which was one of III" ve!y interesting
features, as every diplomat who had a

Many la lies of the legations occupied
the diplomatic galleries also. The next
to arrive were the Justices OF the Su-

Mr.. Stevenson's great moment had
now come, and all eyes were turned to
him as he walked up the aisle to the right
and took up a position on the step at
the right OF the desk, Of which, in an

the lawful incumbent for the ensuing
four years. Then Mr.. Morton said:

nouncing that the Vice President of the
United States is in the Senate. and. il

to him the oath OF office" 1t was, OF
course, agreeable to Mr.. Stevenson.

then occupied were never known to OBJ

All readers of Trescott's histories
must remember with pleasure his glow
ing description OF the successive zones
of vegetation that are encountered in
aSsinS from the sea coast to the cen
trail highlands of Mexico, and of the
as onishncnt of Cortez's soldiers when
they looked down from the cod noun
tain sopes into The flower decked val
!cys Glow. This ranging of vegetable
life arGunl mountains recalls the cir
ces of animal LIFE. varying in species
with the dei.th of water that surround
the islands o. tropical seas.
1t is Interesting 10 observe what
heights various kinds of trees and plants
attain. Of course these heights vary
with the lat ,ude and the prevailing on
ditioils of elm ate. But even in the
c .uatorial regions there are many
mountains, like kenia and kilimanjarO
in Africa, Or Chimtora o in South
America. that rise far into the region
of perpetual snow, where vegetation
practically ceases to exist.
There is not much d finite informa-
ton in the pages of travellers books
concerning the elevation which par
tcui.r varieties of plant life attain, and
what there is is proportionattly tho
more valuable.
The results reached by Doctor Hett-
ncr i'll his explorations OF the Cordillera
of Bogota. which forms a Iart Of the
Andean mountain system in Colombia,
have recently been published, and
among these are some interesting state-
mcnts about the tree zones on those
mountains.

The valuable cinchona trees, from
which Peruvian bark is obtained, show
considerable hardihood, their range o!
elevation on the mountain slopes run

are pretty big things, AMI this second
inauguration OF Mr.. Cleveland was a
aittie the biggest thing Of the sort ever
seen in this country. AMI that means,
.of course. the biggest affair Of the kind
sever seen anywhere, for no other coun-
try than ours, and no other city than
Washington, can boast among its at
fractions a quadrennial coronation by
an ontpouring OF the masses and an
pGteropping of intense partisan 10y.
Most countries have to be satisfied
with coronatiors at rare intervals or
'presidencies assumed by proclamation,
sans ceremonie. and the United States
is the only country in the world that
can be depended on for regular inaug-
urations every four years, conducted
with a pomp and eclat befitting party
,triumphs. While every Inauguration has
been conducted with appropriate dis
play, naturally great enthusiasm is
called out when the victorious party
has been out OF power during the clos
ing administration. 1t required months
Tor the people Of Washington to prepare
sor the event, even accustomed as they
~sIS 10 arrange Sucn ceremonies.
: The capital city for this occasion was
decked out as it never had been decked
out before. The decorations were
fnperbly brilliant. All preparations for
the event were on q great scale, and
the strangers who availed themselves Of
the accommodations provided were es-
7timated at over 100000. More would
have attended had the railroads been
more liberal.
These great inaugurals have three
principal, popular features. One is the
grand parade from the Capitol down
the avenue past the Treasury and the
White House. This occurs in the after
noon. second popular feature is the
fireworks and illumination in the even
ing, and the third is the inaugural ball.
These are the features in which the
great crowds OF visitors are in
'terested. The Inauguration itself is
not much to them, because SO few
are able to see the new President and
Vice President take the oath Of office.
Only ZOO people can be crowded into
the Senate Chamber, where Vice Presi-
dent Stevenson was sworn in, and after

Representatives., the Supreme Court, The
Army and Navy. the press and families

served as a signal for the hundreds of
thousands of people packed in the great
park before the Capitol to break forth
in one prolonged shout. Spread out
before the occupants OF the stand were
acres and acres OF heads. The vast
assemblage might be likened to a great
prairie grain field, but it was surging
wave OF human grain. AS far as one
could see the people were packed like

Eight people were crushed to death
and four others seriously injured at 1:15
o'clock Tuesday morning by the falling
of the st,sne ruins of John York build
ing at Isl South Halsted street, Chicago.
Iork's store was gutted by fire few
weeks ago and the blackened stone
walls were left standing. 1t was not
supposed that there was any danger OF
their falling Shortly after IL o'clock
Monday night, however, a brisk gale Of
wind was blowing and a sudden gust
caused the walls to topple and fall
bu: ying two frame houses which stood
just north of the ruins. The first house
was occupied on the first floor by one
kunz, jeweler, ard his wife and four
children. On the second floor lived the
family of John Smith with his wife and
three ch ldren. Smith was a saloon
keeper and With him roomed his bar
tender, who recently came from Syra-
cuse, n. y. His first name was George,
but the police were unable to learn his
surname. Smith and his family and the
bartender were all buried beneath the
ruins.
The York building was five stories
h gh and the walls were made II large
stones. The fo-cc of the wind which
toppled the walls must have been ter
rifle, as many of the large stones were
hurled clear across the street. Shortly
after the crash the ruins took fire and
the bodies of the mang.ed victims were
badly burned. An alarm was turned in
at 1:45 o'clock; this was quickly fol-
lowed hy second and third alarm. The
Ere department promptly responded,

The inaugural party left the Senate

platform in the order of precedence
adopted by tho Senate many years ago.

chamber had been ushered out was any
one permitted to leave the galleries.

the public could see the new President
read his inaugural address. Two or
three thousand were abe to hear MIN,
and 4O,00o or $4,000 were able to look
on, and those with sharp vision could
see his lips move.
A large proportion Of the organiza-
tions that were to take part in the pa
rade arrive the day and night before
hand and made gay night OF it. All
the morning new mlrching clubs were
arriving, and all the side streets were
filed with Democratic societies pre-
pared to shout Their throats raw for
Cleveland and Stevenson. Meantime
ing around, while marching bands
sounded the first notes of the coming
carnival. At the Arlington Hotel Prosi-
dent-elect Cleveland was an early r.ser,
and as soon as breakfast was out OF the
way he and party found Senator RAN
som and ono OF the Republican men,
bers OF the Senate committee on ar
rangements waiting with carriages to
conduct them to the White House.
There the President was waiting for
them. About the same time Vice Presi-
dent elect Stevenson arrived from the
Ebbitt House, where he was quartered
with his party. He was escorted by
the third member o: the Senate COM
mittee on arrangements.
During the morning the members Of
the cabinet visited the White House,
and for the last time had short confer
ences with the President in their CO.
pacity as cabinet officers before he de-
scended to the blue room to greet the
incoming President and party. The
house was filed with tributes in the
shape Of floral pieces, sent from all
Yarts Of the county.
