Mr.. and Mrs. Cleveland arrived at the
Pension Office building, accompanied by
retinue Of friends. Without going to
the rooms reserved for them, the Presi-

the ballroom. The President led the
way on the arm Of General Schoneld,

escort of Justice Gray, of the supreme

THE INAUG URAL BALL.
A Scene OF Dazzling Observation-Disclosures
nt Twelve,

WASHINGTON, March 4.-By long Gus
tom, The Inauguration ball has grown TO
be almost as much part of the regular
ceremonies Of inauguration day as the
inaugural address. 1t is the quadrennial
tribute paid by politics to society.
Whatever changes OF administration
may occur. II seems likely that the Pen
sion building will be the national ball
room of the future. Clevelands first in
auguration and Harrison's election were
each celebrated by most successful balls
held within this building. but neither Of
them could compare in splendor to the
ball held there tonight. Much of the
spectacular success Of the affair was
doubtless due to the modern develop
ments in the use OF electricity, Of which
full advantage was taken.
The scene was fairylke. The scent OF
flowers, combined radiance OF myraid
electric globes, the dainty blending OF
green and gold. white sparkling fountains
of tinted water, perfect harmony OF mus.
zeal instruments. and what was to mans
the most interesting feature OF all-toi-
lets Of surprising taste and magnifcence-
all combined TO make a spectacle that
will be carried for many years In the
minds OF those who witnessed II In its
fulness. Fancy a chamber nearly one
hundred yards In length, more than forty
yards In breadth and nifty yards from
floor to ceiing-for such are the dimen-
sions of the great court OF the Pension
Office building, where the ball was held.

time before the presidential party arrived.

Electrical wires Of all descriptions should. SO
far a. possible, be beyond the reach Of the nom
expert, Of the people who have nothing to do
with them and who do not want to establish in
innate relations with such dangerous but neces-
gagged in retailing the illuminating or engine
moving AuiG allege at all times that they are
extremely careful; that the heavily charged
wires arc generally insulated and that under
ordinary circumstances nothing untoward can
possibly happen And yet hardly day goes
by that has not on its record the death or tor
ture Of some unfortunate man or woman who
purely through accident comes in contact with
the mysterious force. The latest Of these vic
Tins was George Gamble. a robust young col
ored man. At the corner Of Greene and Fay
cite streets, Baltimore, loose wire, 50 small
that IL would be barely visible at night, dangled
and touched the ground, and this wire Gamble
caught hold Of as he was walking past at about
/ o'clock Sunday morning. He screamed once
and was dead The apparently harmless wire
had crossed an electric light wire which was
carrying q current Of something like 1000 volts.
How long that piece Of murder-laden metal
hung there before Gamble touched and died no
one seems to know. the non-essential proba-
bility is that it was broken by the storm on
Saturday afternoon, but the certainty is that it
killed human being who was walking quietly
along q public thoroughfare. Such a fate may
come to any one, for while many people would
be thoughtful enough to refrain from touching
any wires, no one can be sure that an accidental
connection may not be brought about. Human
life il cheaper than conduirs It's true, but the
financial phase Of the problem il not profit
killing. Put the wires underground.

While there are undoubtedly one or two dis
advantages connected with the proposition to
redeem the various kinds Of paper money now
issued by the treasury and to circulate in their
place treasury notes of ons description, it is
generally held by those who are competent to
express opinions on finance that the movement
first outlined in The SrAR-would result
benedcially. At this time there are six kinds
Of promises TO pay in common use, and they
vary in desirability as they do IN appearance;
they are parts Of q patchwork system which is
far from satisfactory in several respects. All
these notes, with the exception Of the silver
certificates. are redeemable in gold, and with
that condition apparent there doesnot seem to be
any solid reason why one form should not sup
plantfive. II has been suggested that such re-
form would leave in the treasury the vast store
Of silver dollars and silver bullion that has been
accommodating for 80 long, but very much Of
that objection falls to the ground when it is
remembered that a large proportion Of the
white metal would be taken out by the redemp-
tion Of silver certificates. Whatever balance
might be on hand would, Of course, be simply
30 much silver to be sold ut the ruling rate An
effort to sell would naturally bring about tenn
porary depreciation in prices, and such a posi-
bility would be fought strenuously by the mine
owners But there is no reason why any one
should become unduly excited; the coutem-
plated changes are not likely to be made in a
hurry; they will not come until the eyes of the
blind have been opened or are declared to be
forever sightless.
