butte of the orthodox Sabbath. The en-
thusiasm aroused by the quadrennial
political revolution, peculiar only to the
American republic, continues. When
the serious work of introducing new
administration was completed and the
hosts of good-natured visitors who have
captured the federal capitol proceeded
to consult tifeir personal experiences
as to ways and means of enjoy
ment, civilians and those who
wore the uniform of militia, guards
and artillerists, emphasized their
exuberance in every way imaginable.
The desire to yell seemed infectious,
and this was later supplemented by a
longing to carry torches. In the early
morning hours which preceded daylight
the celebration became more individual
lied. but scarcely less demonstrative.
The roll of drums and
BIare of Trumpets
were heard less frequently. The hotel
corridors were filled all night with men
who strolled about tired out, but un-
willing to admit the fact. Pennsylvania
avenue was crowded until morning
with men who believed that such en-
joyment could not again be found until
another four years should elapse.
1t was amazing how men who
had waited previous to the
parade and had tramped in the teeth of
an icy wind, could still uubottle suffi-
cient enthusiasm to cover many miles
in marching after nightfall. But a
majority of them appeared fresh and
contented, while the variety of forms i'll
which they expressed their emotions
was without limit When the Pullman
band struck up son the Bowery," the
New York men, including many Tam
manyites, seized each other around the
waists and went through the gyrations
of the "Boom-de-ay" dance. When
the same band played the "Cdnnibal
Song" from "Sinbad," the Iroquois
men chanted the refrain. The friends
of dignified gentleman attached to the
staff of Fitzhugh Lee had to hold him

played. A favorite form of amusement
was "cracking the whip" and it was an
odd sight to see such solid and dignitied
citizens as belong to the Duckworth
club. Of Cincinnati, trying to hurl the
unfortunates, who, being at the wrong
end of the line, to serve as ''crackerS,''
into infinite space. In marked contra
diction to the daybreak of inauguration
morning, the Sabbath dawn was almost
irreproachable. The violent wind had
moderated to gentle breeze, the gloomy
clouds had vanished, revealing an ideal
winter sky, the sun condescendiugly
smiled and the frigld temperature, so
slowly yielded to this favorable cOnjunc-
ton of the elements. The brightness of
the day seemed to infuse new lite into
the hosts of visitors, who appeared de-
termined that such an opportunity for
sightseeing and pleasure should not be
neglected. Throughout the day the
streets were thronged with pedestrians,
and every thoroughfare was enlivened
with more or less brilliant equipages.
Clubs and bands paraded. groups OF
Guardsmen PrOmenaded,
many visited the various favorite points
of interest, and each stranger enjoyed
himself in his own way. While the
noise and confusion was entirely foreign
to the customary quiet of Washington
Sabbath, the demonstrations of enthus-
iasm were generally kept within reason

ing disorder were of infreQuent
occurrence. TIE first day passed by
President and Mrs. Cleveland
in the executive mansion was of the
most quiet character. The public en-
trance renamed closed, although con-
stantly besIeged by visitors, whose
curiosity prompted them to seek admit
tance. The various walks through the
grounds adjoining the White house were
constantly thronged with strangers, who
quietly inspected the exterior OF the his

the premier of the new administration.
The Judge called shortly after midday,
paid his respects to e-preSidentan re-
mained to luncheon. Soon afterwards
he returned to his apartments at the
Arlington. Later in the afternoon the
president and Mrs. Cleveland tooka
Driye in the Suburbs,
carefully avoiding the crowded thor
Oughfares, so as to prevent any possibil-
ity of demonstration. A small bantam
rooster, which was conspicuous in the
inaugural procession yesterday, was
presented to little Ruth Cleveland, and

ment to the child. Private Secretary
rhurber was at his desk in the White
house nearly all day, and Clerk Pruden
