CHARLES J. BELL

Chairman Of the Inauguration Com.
mittee.
cnstration. 1t had been arranged that
q company of militia should receive
and escort the president up the
avenue, but Mr.. Mckinley vetoed
this program, so that the only formal
reception he received was the greeting
of a small committee of prominent
residents of Washington. There was,
of course, an informal demonstration
by the public.
Arrival of the Mckinley Train.
Only few persons had been admit
ted within the enclosure at the station
where the Mckinley train was to stop.
There was Chairman Bell of the exec.
0tiye committee, with Reception Com
snitteemen Barrett, Parker, Glover,
Norris, Lowell and Britton, specially
designated as subcommittee to re.
Aceive the presidential party in place OF
the full committee.
Just minute after the schedule time
the train rolled into the station. The
reception committee at once escorted
the party to carriages and they were
driven to the Ebbitt House as fast as
the crowded condition of the streets
would permit. Notwithstanding the
aong journey and the broken night,
nearly all of the party looked fresh and
bright. The president-elect in particu-
lar. appeared to be in the best of spirits,
and those who gazed in his face for
signs of the illness from which he has
suffered very recently, looked in vain
for any sign OF distress or impaired vi
tality.

In the evening President and Mrs.
Cleveland entertained the president
elect at dinner. The invitation, which,
while not novelty, is not always
usual, was extended through Secre-
tary Porter several days ago, but up to
q late hour in the afternoon it was
doubtful whether or not it could be
carried out, owing to the indisposition
of President Cleveland. Word came to
Mr.. Porter, however, about O'Clock
that the president had so far recovered
from his rheumatic attack as to be able
to carry out the engagement, which
was renewed in pressing form. It was
expected that Mrs Mckinley would
accompany her husband to the dinner,
but, owing to the exhaustion that fol-
lowed the exciting events of the jour.
ney from Canton and the day in WASH
fngtOn, she was unable to do so.

Timely Friend.

With perfect propriety may we call
that excellent remedy, Salvation Oil,
a timely friend. This liniment rapidly
cures rheumatism, neuralgia and pains,
when other remedies fail. Mr.. Jno.
M. Hall, Ashland, Va, writes: Il
suffered with rheumatism in the ankle
and the muscles connected Herewith.
Salvation Oil at once relieved the sore
ness, reduced the swelling, and cured
the pain. No other liniment that ever
used did me so much good"
