Notes.
Incidents of the Chang

Special to the SIGNAL.
Your correspondent, at great troub-
lie, has been able to take a few side
observations during the inaugural GER
emonies that have not appeared in the
telegraphic reports. Of course it was
great day,a great time was had, and
such a great crowd participated that
one could take but little pleasure in
the great crush and scramble. Many,
even with the most persistent effort,
failed to get glimpse of the main
performance it was so much different
than when good old Jefferson rode up
and tied his pinto to the hitching post
in front of the White House. 1t was
by bare accident that your correspond
ent managed to catch sight of Mrs.
Cleveland over Growers shoulder as
she reached partly around his neck, as
far as she could and exclaimed,
sOh, you dear old hubby, you'll" and
smacked him right out loud there in
front of all those people. CHANGED
to hear Mrs. Mckee remark, "Just
look at the stuck up thing, she's doing
all that for show and effect; and
, declare, her bustles on crooked She d
J better see to fixing herself up lit
tle!" But l was in a good position
e when the band began to play "Ge'
y there, Eli, ;" and little Ruth tot
s tied up to the window with hel
little childish eyes swimming witt
e delight, and l felt as if the bant
8 could play on forever. 1t made on'
It feel real good to see her clap he
n little hands and cry with unaffected
it emotion, "Oh, mamma, duss lookee
Is duss see all de pity menl and it's al
,e for papa Oh, mamma, | do feel s.
,e hatteredr 1t came right out fror
le the soul, and Baby Mckee, the littl
is rascal, was sitting across the stree
IN on dry goods box making faces
ce Why, it is even said he tried to sla
a little Ruth as he was going out throug
a. the hall with his wee grip in his hant
n The great occasion also brought OIL
many grave things which will be use
w with telling effect in the next can
of paign. One instance | can mentic
of was when Harrison had started @
he with his duds but came back and to
no Grover that he had forgotten cC
he pipe which was laying on the burei
he in the bedroom; it was his and
cir would like to get it. Grover jump'
he like he had just got bite from bl
is bass and drew himself up with tn
cir great dignity which so well becomes
nd rotund form like his, and in as cal
nd voice as he could command und
Tho the circumstances, informed our frie
nd Ben that "That pipe, sir, was he
ith when | left four years ago; yes,
i'm was here when Arthur went out, a
under the circumstances | can't all
'' you to take it. Why, you're wol
Use than the Idaho Legislature of 8
hat There's no telling how many thin
the you've taken that don't belong to yC
for / must look around and see what
,uo missing, and don't fear, sir, but Il
wv | shall hold you to strict account
giy everything that ought to be he
rit- No, sir, couldn't think of letting t
the pipe 90. Harrison said he co
ical keep the old pipe, it wouldn't dr
7. good anyway; but 1t is thought t
~ it will be boomerang to the rep
OF lican party, this attempt of the adm
of istration to appropriate articles
snts longing exclusively to the WI
,noo House. AS Harrison turned to gC
.:o. spied Ruth playing with bro
Wv" bladed Barlow knife, and said
lt is while he could let the pipe 60 for
eeds sake of saving trouble, he must
AVE tect Baby Mckee, and as that k
was his and the little fellow p'
great store by it, it being birth
present, he must have it. So Cl'
land let him take it to get rid of b
is IN but Mrs. Cleveland was awful ]
yeen when little Ruth came crying to
ERIK They do say that after having tur
wav the clock back to prolong his te
Harrison wanted Cleveland to
him out of his own pocket for
extra time, and on Growers ref
he threatened to sue him for the e
, are wages, but it is thought to be on
to,,ts political canard. In fact,it is ali
certain there was no differences
ming money matters, as Grover loaned
2 an rison So for fear he wouldn't
money enough TO get home on.
