and manhood Of Mr.. Kenna was but an
illustration OF this truth. His magnii-
cent physique; his vigorous intellect;
his courageous and independet spirit,
were not the results Of OF a condition OF
luxury and ease, but the development
OF these characteristics, which were so
marked in our deceased friend, was
stimulated by the necessities by which
be was confronted.
Left fatherless, by one OF those in
Scrutable diSpenSations Of Providence,
at the early age Of years, he realized
even then that on him would soon de-
vOlve the care and support of loving
mother and two younger sisters. In
1S5S; Mrs. kenna and her three children
removed TO the State of Missouri, resid-
ing on the farm Of Mr.. Lewis, a brother
Of Mrs. Kenna, where they remained
until after the breaking out Of the late
civil war. IL was upon this farm, and
at the early age Of IL years, that he
commenced to contribute to the heSupport
of the family.
Frequently have his associates In this
Chamber heard him, with almost boy
ish gayety. tell Of his experience In re-
claiming from its natural condition, one
Of Mssouri's finest plantations, when
his uncle held the handle of the plow
and be controlled the four yoke Of oxen
attached 10 il.
Although at this period Of his life he
had the advantage Of the tutelage Of
governeSs, yet we are told this did not
prevent him from becoming an expert
teamster."
He was pasSionately devoted to his
mother, aud being an only boy and the
eldest child, he soon assumed the posi-
tion 20 her of an advisor. counselor. and
companion. This responsibility rapidly
developed his character, and fitted him
at an early age TO grspple successfully
with the stern duties Of practical life.
AT the age Of 16 years he enlisted in
the Confederate Army, and surrendered
with his command at Shreveport, La, in
June. 1865.
In youth, as In manhood, one OF his
most striking characteristics was his
frmness and uncOnQuerable determine
tion Of purpose, which was illustrated
at this period OF his life when, though
severely wounded, be refused TO retire
FROM active service, choosing TO endure
the hardships and privations Of diSas-
trOus campaign rather than seek the
rest and safety Of hospital couch. At
the close OF the war Mr.. Kenna returned
to Kanawha County, w. Va, where the
rest Of his family had preceded him.

ration for the inauguration. Everybody
experts that the attn of March Will be a
NICE. sunny day. Cleveland luck calls for
fine weather. Seats on stands erected IN
the open air are selling at prices ranging
from 80 cents to $40 each. Windows IN
houses on Pennsylvania avenue can be
rented at enormous rates. Ine demand

"Good morning."
This brief but pointed conversation took
place between a reporter and man VINO
had a room facing Pennsylvania avenue.
From First street 20 Fifteenth street
along Pennsylvania avenue, aye, ana
further westward still, every other mousse
along the line of march OF the inaugural
parade offers front rooms, front wlndoWs
and front balconies for rent on the 4th OF
March.
This limit is usually sl5 for secodd or
third story window 10 accommodate four
persons and from 500 to $500 for an entire
room. Three hundred dollars seemed 10
be the limit.
Even the storekeepers, have become pos
sessed with the idea thata harvest is to be
reAped from window letting. A great
many stores on the avenue offer to rent
spaces in their show windows to people to
view the parade. They propose to erect
platforms in the windows, whereby tnelr
patrons can be elevated above the heaus OF
the crowd that will line the sidewalk ana
at the same time be inclosed within glass
case, secure from possible lnclement
weather.
The prices of these windows range, ac-
cording to their capacity, at about the rate
of SO per head. One has converted room
into a reviewing stand and expects
crowded house.
The hotel-keepers expect to fill every
nook and Granny for at least three days anu
have an unusual run of business Tor
week or more. The larger hotels arepretty
well bought up already, although each is
reserving some space TO be given TO persons
coming in at the last moment and begging
for accommodations. There has been
pronounced increase in prices.
The average rate is s. per day for each
person, but from six 10 ten people will be
placed in a room. The man who wants
board and lodging for himself and wife IN
a room that will otherwise accommodate
four persons will pay SO per day, and the
room will not be given him for less than
four days.
The lone wayfarer who applies at
Washington hotel the night OF March Ior
shelter will deem himself lucky to set
cot. for he won't get room unless he can
stand $40 or SIS day for it, and he may
not get it even at that rate.

WASHINGTON, D. c., February 27.-Both
houses did good days work and took a
long step in the direction Of winding up the
business so as to lessen the danger OF an
extra session. Few members OF the House
anticipated the smooth sailing that was
met with to-day, and when the Senate
amendments to the suudry civil bill

sent TO conference there was sigh OF re

that there would be a stubborn fight on the

that it was dispose Of so expeditiously was
a matter for general congratulation.

involving an expenditure Of about $l67, 600,
