the $4,000 men expected III line on
the 4th Of March. One of the
parade will be the presence of $50
Indians from the several tribes in
their own distinctive dress, with
all the paints and feathers and or
naments they are wont to wear on
extraordinary occasions. These
are to be followed by the Indian
students from the school at Hamp-
ton. 1t is designed in this way to
show the great progress made by
the young men at the Carlisle
schools.
Another interesting feature OF
the parade will be the blue jackets
from the vessels of the White
Squadron. Many of these vessels
will not be able to reach Washing
ton because of the shallowness of
the Potomac river, but they will
send their men up to the city IN
smaller boats. 1t is a shame that
congress does not provide sufficient
funds to keep the river open so
that one or more of our best ships
could be at the city during an
event of this kind when there are
so many visitors from the interior
who would like to get sight of
! one of these $4,000,000 beauties
for which they help to pay.
Civil organizations must number
at least so in order to secure
stated place in the parade. It is
expected that at least $4,000 mem
bers of the Republican league climbs
will be IN line.
The decorations for the ipaugur-
al ball are to be most lavish; in fact
everything is to Sc done on an
elaborate and costly plan. The re-
viewing stands along the line. of
march are to be rooted over to pro-
vide some protection from the rain
we are almost sure to have on the
4th of March. Mark Hanna has
bought 175 seats in the front row
of the stand across the avenue from
and facing the presidents stand
for himself and his friends. These
are considered the very best seats
along the line of march,
An important matter which the
town officials must struggle with
is to corral the pick pockets and
thieves who always follow the cir
GUS The local detectives are at
present aided by the best men from
from the detective forces of the
large cities of the country and they
together with the large anmber of
special police employed will give
the crooks warm welcome. In
spector Hollinberger has all his
traps laid and the chances are that
well known "shady people" will
be corraled before they get fairly
into the city. There will be a |
score of detectives ON the presi-
dents stand in front of the White
House, dozens Of them in the capt.
tol building. slews of them scattered
along the line of march of the pa
rade, and battalion Of them at
the Inauguration ball, and with all
these lines out it is expected that
there will be corraHing of soft
voiced crooks such as the country
never saw before.
1t is expected that there will be at
least $4,000 visitors in town during
the Inauguration and to bring them
in and take them home again is no
small task for the railroads. From
now until after the 9Th or 9Th of March
the traffic will be very great and all
trains will be delayed. The train IA
cilities here are very poorly adapted |
for handling large crowds and it is
more than probable that people who
plan to leave the city on March 4th
will find it difficult task.
Congressman have things pretty
nearly their own way here in Wash
ington, but they are exempt from the
servant girl problem Representa-
tive Ellis of Oregon recently confessed
ed that "Our greatest trouble has been
to get servant girl who has not lived
with the British ambassador, or cook
ed for the German minister or been
