After luncheon the President and the
x-Vice-Presldent left the Capt.
tol by the Senate entrance, followed by
the Vice-PresideDt and ex-Vice-Presi.
dent. and the Committee of Arrange.
ments, and proceeded at once to the
carriages awaiting them. President Nc.

the seat OF honor in the first carriage,
and on his left was seated ex-Presi-
dent Cleveland, while in the second
carriage Vi6e-President Hobart had
ex-Vice-P President Stevenson on his
left. AS soon as they were seated
the order for the march was given
and the procession moved mp the avenue.
Following the Presidential party
came the great parade. Instead of go
ing to the White House, as in former
years, the President was driven at once
to the reviewing stand in front of the
| White House and the procession filed
by. Ex-President Cleveland did not &c
to the stand, but was driven to the
White House, where he was met by
Mrs. Cleveland.

other form of genius, and some women

cause those who constitute 1t, the great
army of American wage earners, are
without the work and wages they for-
merly had.
The loss of earning power alone In
this country in the past three years, ne
asserted is sufficient to have produced
our unfortunate business situation. III
our labor were we'll employed and EN-
ployed at as remunerative wages as In
1892 in a few months every farmer IN
the land would feel the glad change In
the increased demand for his products
and in the better prices which he would
receive.
Mr.. Mckinley declared that we are
not a nation of classes. He eulogized
the seventy millions under his rule as
sturdy, honorable people, who Will
never be dominated by demagogues.
Washington and Webster were quoted
as giving similar views warning the
workingmen against the play OF pas
Sions and the destruction or liberty
fruits in the name of liberty.
Silver was given very friendly assur-
ances Free coinage was not approved,
but demand for double standard
with international concurrence was
earnestly made. Civil service reform
was declared the position of the party
for twenty-four years past.
President Mckinley congratulated
the country that sectional lines no
longer exist. He insisted that the era
of reconciliation, so long and earnestly
desired by General Grant, and many
other great leaders, north and south,
has happily come and the feeling of dis
trust and hostility between the sec
tions Is everywhere vanishing, never
to return. Nothing is better calculated
to give strength to the nation at home,
increase power and influence abroad
and add to the permanency and security
of free institutions than the restoration
of cordial relations between the people
of all sections and parts of beloved
country.

$4,000.

It is confidently expected by the ex-
ecutive committee in charge or the ar
rangements that the receipts from all
sources coming into the hands as rev.
enue will not be far short OF $SO,OOO.
This sum will be realized by the sale
Of privileges, ball tickets and other con-
cessions. AS presidential inaugurations
have grown more and more elaborate
.he committee has found continually
diminishing surplus remaining after
settlement of all accounts. 1t has be-
come the custom to devote the excess
of receipts over expenditures to charit-

years ago was left with but $4,000 when

son attending must pay $5 for the priv

$500 incandescent burners were used.

an American flag in colors, composed

For the last month or more Proprie-
| tor Burch, at the Ebbitt House, mas
| been preparing the apartments to be oc-
cupied by Major Mckinley and his par
ty. During his Congressional life the
President-elect lived at the Ebbltt
| House, occupying a modest suite OF
apartments on the third floor of that
well-known hostelry. Mr.. Burch, re-
membering, this determined to fix up
the old rooms and let them be part
of the floor taken by the Presidential
party. So it happened that Major and
Mrs. Mckinley occupy their old rooms,
but they are so changed and beautiiied
that the McKinleys hardly recognized
them. They look out on Fourteenth
street. AS there are some fifty or sixty
persons in the immediate party, almost
the entire floor is given over to them.
The Expenses of Inauguration.
The expenditures of all kinds made
necessary in preparations leading te
the pageant of March and the follow
ing festivities in the shape of the in
augural ball, supper and promenad'
concerts were not less than S5O,ooO
and will vary between that figure ant

Ravens Are Passing Away.

The whole domains, the large timber,
and the ancient families survive, but
the raven has vanished, says writer
In Longman's Magazine. 1t occasional
ly takes a young rabbit. But the hui
man ravens of Somerset, to wit, the
men and boys who have as little right
to the rabbits-do the same. l do not
suppose that in this way fewer than ten
to twenty thousand rabbits are annual
ly "picked up." or 'po0ched"-if any
one likes that word be tern the coun-
ty. Probably larger number. The
existence of pair OF rabbits on an es-
tate of ten to twenty or forty thousand
acres would not add much to the loss.
No doubt the raven kills other crea-
lures that are presented for sport, but
it does not appear that its eXtermlna-
ton has improved things in Somerset
Thirty years ago, when black game
| was more plentiful than it is now, the
raven was to be met with throughout
| the county, and was abundant on Ex'
moor and the Quantocks. The ole
headkeeper on the forest Of Exmool
told me that when he took the place
twenty-five years ago, ravens, carrioi
crows, bu1zards and hawks of various
kinds were abundant, and that the wa
he had waged against them for quar-
ter of a century had well-nigh extir
pated all these species. He had kept
careful record of all birds killed, notin
the species in every case, as he wa
paid for all, but the reward varied, tn
largest sum being given for the larges
birds-ravens and buzzarSs. His boo
shows that one year, tWenty-thre
years ago, he was paid for fifty-Iwo ra
yens shot and trapped. After that u
number annually diminished rapid!
| and for several years past not one Ia
wen had been killed. L----.-A---aL /

structure is the great American public,
all anxious to witness the solemn cere-
mony. 1t is an impressive, but simple
affair, and after the multitude has ceas-
ed cheering, President Mckinley
advanced to the front of the stand, and
beside him was Chief Justice Fuller,
who administered the oath OF office.
Mckinley has always prided himself
On his consistency, and he carried into
his inaugural speech the plain, con-
seryative sentiments which he has pro-
claimed for years in Congress and on
he stump.
He is a mild-mannered man, who OBJ
serves the amenities, and there was no
rancor. no abuse of Cleveland's admin
lstration, no reflection on Bryan and
yhe Democracy. Ever and always, Will
liam Mckinley has avoided harsh crit
lcism.
President McKinley's attack on Dem
ocratic ideas was in mild language, put
none the less emphatic in meaning. he
did not draw a happy picture of bust
ness conditions. He said that our for-
eign trade has been diminished and oui
domestic trade has suffered incalculablt
loss. Confidence in home enterprises
has almost wholly disappeared. Oul
shops are closed, or running on hai
time. Our men at home are IDLE, an'
