which tradition credits to Jefferson. Each
had q military escort. In 1888 jackson
rode to the capitol with Van Buren, in
phaeton made OF wood from the old Con-
stitution.
Only the Inauguration Of Hayes was I'M
eventfuI compared with those which pre-
ceded and have followed it. Mr.. Hayes
came into town quietly, took the oath on
Sunday (which was the 4th of Maroh) and
went to the capitol to deliver his address
Monday. There was no ball to mark his
inauguration - only torohlight process
sion.
President Elect and Mrs. Mckinley say
goodby to their two story frame house In
Canton, where they have spent many happy
days, with touch Of regret. In that house
have come to them their greatest triumphs
say their triumphs because all that Major
Mckinley has belongs to both of them in
the fullest degree. 1t was In that house
that they received the news of Mr.. McKin-
ley's nomination, and there the news of his
success at the polls was flashed to them
over the special wires.
Until Major Mckinley is inaugurated
his home will be at he Ebbitt house. With
his party, In addition to his wife, are his
mother, his two nieces, his brother, Abner
Mckinley, and probably Mark Hanna and
his family. Quite likely his inaugural I'D
dress will not receive its finishing touches
until just before the inaugural ceremonies.
Making an inaugural address is very
serious matter, for, however poorly pres
ident may carry out the policy which be
announces at his inauguration, the Ameri-
can people always take his utterances seri-
ously
Major Mckinley will see few visitors ex-
cept the members of his cabinet to be. All
Of them are expected to be here. And then
his great and good friend, Mr.. Hanna,
will be In and out of his rooms at all hours
no doubt, But the Office seeker will be
kept at the outer gate.
General Porter, the marshal Of the in
augural parade, will call and submit the
plan Of that display for Major Mckinley g
approval. The senate committee which
has charge of the inaugural ceremony will
call to notify him what will be expected
of him Thursday. Some Of the senators
and representatives who knew him when he
was in the house will be admitted to his
reception room.
There is no likelihood that he will leave
the hotel at all until accompanied by Mrs.
Mckinley, he takes a carriage for the
White House Wednesday evening, to be the
guest of Mr.. and Mrs. Cleveland at din
ner. This is not in accordance with slime
honored custom, - as has been said. Adams
and Johnson, as I told you at the begin

speak the press associations will send bull
letins flashing over the country to say that
it is released. Five minutes later the
! newsboys will be crying it on the streets of
almost every city in the United States.
When the address is completed, and not
before, that immense throng will melt
away from the plaza and go to pack the
sidewalks and fill the wooden stands which
have been built on all the public reserva-
tiops along Pennsylvania avenue. Gayly
decorated these stands will be- and from
the windows of the buildings on the broad
avenue Sc 600 flags will fiaunt in the
breeze On all the side streets around the
capitol men in uniform will await the sig
nal to start. First the presidents escort
will move Ahead Of it will ride Grand
Marshal Porter, in full military uniform,
with particolored sash, and his glittering
aids. Behind will come the carriage drawn
by four horses in which the president and
Mr.. Cleveland will ride. Then will come
the troops of the regular army, the nation
al guard, the organizations Of veterans
and finally the political clubs. Forty thou
sand men will march if present promises
are fulfilled, and, at the rate of 10, 600 men
an hour it will take them hours and 20
minutes to pass the presidents reviewing
stand, in front of the White House.
At this reviewing stand the president
and Mr.. Cleveland will part. President
Mckinley will take his place at the front
of the stand, and, raising his hat in re-
Spouse to the salutes Of those who pass,
will review the whole of the parade, from
the grand marshal to the last Of the Mo-
Kinley and Hobart clubs. Then he will
go to the White House TO rest until the
hour for the ball. 1t was dark four years
ago when the review was completed.
There have been inaugural balls since
the day of Washington. The only pFesi-
dentswho failed to celebrate their induction
into Office in that way, 1 believe, were JEFF
ferson and Hayes. Three of the balls have
been held in the pension building, where
the ball next Thursday will occur. They
are gorgeous, glittering, glaring frauds,
these inaugural balls. They are not balls
at all. They are promenade concerts, for
the crowd is so dense that movement.of
any kind is difficult, and dancing is i'm
possible. But they are splendid as specta-
cles Ten thousand men in black and
women in gorgeous gowns will crowd the
pension building next Thursday night.
Brilliant lights, bright draperies and thou
sands of beautiful flowers will make the
great hall splendid. Two big bands will
fill the air with harmony, and at II
O'Clock the closely packed crowds will
catch feeting glimpse of the president
and vice president, with their wives, as
they make the tour of the ballroom. A
supper for any one who has the dollar TO
spend on It, and the attractions of the ball
have been exhausted. But they will hold
many Of the men and women who attend

until the dawn begins to break. Long be-
fore that time the new president will be in
the White House sleeping off the fatigues
of the day.
Workmen have been busy in the pension
building for more than week preparing
for the ball. In the decorations of the ball
room finer results are achieved than ever
before. All spectacular effects have been
avoided and more artistic and harmoni-
Gus arrangement of flowers, lights and
bunting secured. About $18, 900 has been
spent by the inaugural committee in deco
rating the main ballroom and the private
rooms set apart for the use of the presiden-
tial and vice presidential parties. The great
height of the court of the pension building,
where the ball will be held, has been over
come by bunting festooned from the center
of each of the three divisions of the court to
the top of the second gallery. The bare walls

TIE TRIP TO THE CAPITOL.
Cannon Will Announce the TAX
ing of the Oath.

The Great Parade From Capitol to White
HOuse-Contrast Between the Present
Display and That of other Times-The
Great Ball In the Pension Building.
The first president Of the United States
TO take the oath in Washington was JEFF
ferson, and it is one of the traditions Of
history that he rode to the capitol, hitched
his horse with his own hand and went
without escort in to the senate chamber,
where he was sworn In. This story, though,
has another version, which is sustained by
some authority. 1t is said that Jefferson
was living In boarding place not far
from the capitol, and on the day of the
Inauguration he walked to the senate
chamber in very democratic way and en-
tered without escort. He went back to the
boarding house and sat, as was his custom,
at the foot of the table that evening" and
when some one offered to congratulate him
he said that he would rather be congratu-
lated at the end of his administration than
at the beginning of it. There is no doubt
of Jefferson's simplicity" in his official
relations. Though he had been accustomed
to the life of planter having small army
of slaves at his beck and CALL he refused
to observe the ceremonies which Washing
ton and his friends had thought should be
a part of the tribute to the great office of
president, and he was found b. foreign
minister one day backing his own boots.
Washington was escorted from his home
at Mount Vernon to Eli-abethport, spend
ing one night at Princeton, where he was
to be present afterward at a famous gradu-
alton day of the university; and at Trenton
young girls strewed flowers in his path.
From Elizabethport he went by barge to
New York, still under formal escort, and
his entry to New York was of a triumphal
character His Inauguration was a severe
ly formal affair, preceded by prayer and
followed by attendance on divine service.
He took the oath in the presence of the
people in front of the federal building, and

u companies, the hospital corps and the

The sidewalks of the streets through
which Mr.. Mckinley will pass on his way
to the capitol will be thronged. The streets
themselves will be kept clear and the
crowd will be kept In check by ropes
stretched breast high along the curb.

everywhere and all OF the smaller pillars
have been covered with bunting as back
ground for the flowers and greens which
are prominent features Of the decorations.
The bunting and thousands of tiny electric
fairy lamps have been used principally to
bring out in greater relief the floral de-
signs.
The president and vice president, with
their families, will be in charge of recep-
ton committee, of which Major General
Nelson A Miles is the chairman. The
cost of tickets to the ball is S. for each per-
son, and it is expected that the $50, 600 re-
ceived from the sale of tickets will pay all

The board OF state fair commissioners
met and organized on Saturday last with
all members present. Mr.. Joseph Bax-
ter was elected president, VIM. Lee,
treasurer, and 7. B. Gum secretary. The
following resolutions were adopted:
Resolved, that owing to the small ap.
preparation at the disposal of the COM
mission, il is impracticable to hold a
creditable state fair during the present
fall, but that it is advisable to husband
the appropriation for fair that will be a
credit to the state during the fall of 1898 (;
and
Resolved further, that this commission
apply its energies to the holding of fair
in 1898, at which all the counties OF the
state will be represented and which will
be benefit to the state and satisfactory
and profitable investment of the peoples

Resolved further, that an arrangement
be made as early as possible to hold a
farmers institute during said iair, at
which lectures will be delivered by the
leading dairymen, agriculturists, poultry
raisers, fruit raisers, fruit packers, bee
keepers, stock raisers, and the like; and
Resolved further, that this commission
interprets the object of the legislature in
providing state fair as having the fol.
lowing objects in view:
First-To benefit the producing classes
by the exchange of apt ideas in the var
ious fields OF industry, mining, agricul-
ture, commercial and mechanical
Second-To exhibit the capabilities OF
the state in all lines of production.
Third-To provide such incidental
amusements as will entertain, while at

viding, such fair shall be without cost or
other detriment to the state.
J. NJ. Baxter was retained superintend-
ent of the grounds for one year, without
