HISTORIC BIBLES
Used In Administering the Presidential Oath

WASHINGTON, March 4.-The BIZ
BILE on which Mr.. Mckinley took the
oath of office as president of the united
States is a handsome and costly book'
made especially for the occasion ana
presented to the new president by bisn-
on Arnett of Wherefore college. coll
ored institution in the Buckeye state,
ON behalf of the African Methodist Epis-
oopal church. The book on which ne was
sworn in to the highest office in the gift
of the people was matter OF quite ae-
cided sentiment with President CleVe-
land. Mr.. Cleveland asked the priVl-
eye of being sworn in on httle rso
Bible which had been given 10 MN ps

oath at the beginning of both of his pres

had been for the United states supreme
court to furnish the Bible on whicn the

verse which the president toucheo Win

this event to the president or 10 nIs
wife. The first Inauguration of George
Washington in the Federal building IN
New York on April 80, 1889, was delayed
by the failure to provide Bible. Just
as the arrival of Washington was an
nounced to congress, Chancellor Living

liant one The earth was snow-clad ane
the early winds were sharp and cutting,
though late in the forenoon 1t cleared
and the air was mild.
At Cleveiand's first inauguration the
weather was most auspicious, and not
for a long time had there been weather
so balmy and spring like. The sun shone
and just suspicion of frostiness which
prevailed in the early morning vanished
by noon.
One of the stormiest March days Wash
ington has ever experienced greeted Har-
rison when he entered into the office and
tn sidewalks of Pennsylvania avenue
were largely a picture of spread UNI
brellas and mackintoshes. Rain fell IN
torrents all day, and flags and bunting
hung limp from the pelting storm De
spite this. an immense crowd watched
him take the oath on the east portico.
At the last Inauguration, when Grover
Cleveland assumed office for the second
time. it was a cold. drilling day. Rain
had fallen pretty steadily throughout
the night and with the morning turned
into snow. The wind was strong and
clustering, and coming from all points
