immense multitude occupying the
street, the windows, and even roofs OF
the adjacent houses. The balcony
formed a kind of open recess, with
lofty columns supporting the roof. In
the center was a table with covering
Of crimson velvet, upon which lay q

velvet cushion. This was all the
paraphernalia for the august scene.
All eyes were fixed upon the bal

House of Representatives He was clad
in full suit of bark brown cloth OF
American manufacture. with steel

was dressed and powdered in the fash

solitaire.
His entrance on the balcony was
hailed by universal shouts. He was evil

After a few moments Washington
Adams, the Vice-President, stood on
his right, on his left the Chancellor of
the State, Robert r. Livingston. The
chancellor advanced to administer the
oath prescribed by the Constitution
and Mr.. Otis, the Secretary of the

son cushion. The oath was read
| slowly and distinctly, Washington at
the same time laying his hand on the
open Bible. When it was concluded, he
replied solemnly I swear-sO help me

Bible to his lips, but he bowed down

Washington again bowed to the
people and returned into the Senate

Houses of Congress, his inaugural adj

TAKING THE OATH
Inauguration of Washing.
ton as First President.
New York Then the Seat of Co
Vernment-lrving's Close Des-
cription of the Event.

George Washington was inauguarted
first President of the United States on
April 80, 1889. The ceremonies, uni
que for their simplicity and lack of
ostentation, followed closely the adop-
ton of the Federal Constitution, and
the election Of Washington as Presi-
dent under it's provisions. Since the
close of the war, Washington had lived
in retirement at Mount Vernon where
he hoped, as he wrote his friend Lafay-
cite, to tread the paths Of private
life with heartfelt satisfaction"
But the young Nation needed his
services, just as the great crisis
through which the 13 colonies had
passed demanded the wise counsels of
the great general. The constitutional
convention was called. the Constitu-
ton was adopted, the erection was held
and on April IA, Washington was noti-
fed by Congress of his election. He
Immediately set out for New York, the
seat of Government. These events are
graphically described by Washington
Irving, who continues.
1.-THE inauguration took place on the
10th of April. At 9 o'clock in the morn
Ing, there were religious services in al
the churches, and prayers put up foI
the blessing of heaven on the new
Government. At IL o'clock the city
troops paraded before Washington
door, and soon after the committees OF
Congress and heads of departments
came in their carriages. At half-pas
IL the procession moved forward.
about 200 yards before reaching the
hall, Washington and his suite alight
ed from their carriages, and passed
through the troops, who were drawn
up on each side, into the hall and Sen
ate chamber, where the Vice-President
the Senate and House of Representa-
tives were assembled The Vice-Presi
dent, John Adams, recently inaugur
ated, advanced and conducted Wash
ington to a chair of state at the upper
end of the room.

THE BALkY HORSE.
8 Simple Scheme of the Aiotornaan
That Made Him Co..

-
! That Made HIM Co..
People near the New York entrance
of the bridge saw balky horse frus-
| trated with delightful ease the other
day by a man who openly confessed
that he had no practical or theoretical
knowledge of craftsmanship. He was
the motorman of Fourth avenue car
bound toward the terminal at the
| bridge. The horse was one of those an
| gular, cockeyed. ungainly beasts that
no amount of currying and feeding
could make respectable.
| 1t had stopped square in the middle
f, of the track and had spread its feet
apart as though its mind was made up
| to hold the street against the world. In
a few minutes four trolley cars were
backed up behind the cart and more
were in sight down Center street. Mo
! tormen. conductors, truck drivers, as
sorted citizens and a policeman stood
around and gave the usual advice. The
| driver kicked the horse and two or
| three men called to the policeman to
stop him. Then they in turn made hui
| name suggestions about starting fire
under the beasts stomach. A woman
said that it would be easy enough for
any one to coax him along with lump
| of sugar.
The motorman of the fifth trolley
car, which had by this time reached the
| end of the blocked line, walked up and
surveyed the situation.
Whose car is this % he asked, point
! ing to the first car that had come up
behind the wagon to which the balky
horse was attached.
Its mine " said another motorman,
| who was lingering a brass motor handle
as though he would like to brain the
horse with it.
The motorman from the rear hoisted
the cars front fender and strapped it
in place, folded against the dashboard.
Now" he said to the motorman
who had claimed the car, Ego ahead,
very easy" Then, turning to the dis
consolately profane driver of the horse
he said, "'Get up and take hold of the
reins.
The car ran forward until the fender
reached the tailboard of the wagon.
'NOw," said the self appointed master
of ceremonies to his fellow motorman,
''start up as fast as you durn please,
and don't stop until you get to the
bridge"
The car started. The wagon started.
The horse in the shafts simply had to
start. He slid and showed back for a
few inches and then broke into help
less gallop. The car came banging along
behind, giving the horse no chance to
change his mind and balk again. The
spectators cheered. The ingenious mo-
torman looked the assembly over with
a sheer.
"Sayl" he said. "Sayl Some people
are dead slow, ell ?''-New York Sun.

The ancients believed that rheuma-
tism was the work of demon within
a man. ANY one who has had an at
tack of sciatic or inilammatory rheu-
matism will agree that the infliction
is demoniac enough to warrant the
belief. 1t has never been claimed
that Chamberlain s Pain Balm would
cast out demons, but it will cure
rheumatism, and hundreds bear testi-
mony to the truth of this statement.
One application relieves the pain, and
this quick relief which it affords is
worth many times its cost. For sale

1T MADE A DIFFERENCE.

A man was sitting in an easy chair
at the Her Grand the other evening in
company with several others, and the
talk gradually drifted to the trust con-
ference that has been in session in
Chicago. After the matter had been
aired thoroughly from all points OF
view, this man settled back in his chair,
took two or three puffs at his cigar,
smiled little and then said:
gall this talk about trusts reminds
me of a man I used to know over in
Iowa. He lived neighbor to me over
there, and he belonged to the Grange,
the forerunner of the Populist party.
This man was dead set against trusts.
He hated the trusts worse than tramp
hates work, and he was always
haranguing upon the evils of monopo-
lies.
"Now, it happened that one spring
all the farmers in the neighborhood
had trouble in getting their seed corn
to grow They planted the corn as
usual, but hardly kernel of it would
come up. There was CONSERVATION
among them until it was found that
the man who hated trusts so savagely
had a peculiar sort of. corn that would
grow. As soon as this fact was bruited
about there was prilgrimage toward
this mans farm, and everybody bought
some seed corn.
"Of course, I was in the same boat
with the rest of them, and went over
one day to get few bushels to plant.
I had the stuff loaded into the wagon
and asked him the price. He replied
that it was S1.0O per bushel. AS corn
was selling in the market at 20 cents
that time, my eyes flew open in sur
prise, and 1 asked him if he did not
consider that little steep.
"Well, replied the trust hater, this
is all the corn in the neighborhood
that will grow, and can get S1.OO a
bushel for it,
~ hauled out the money and paid
it over; but as l did SO 1 slyly asked
him if he did not consider that he was
operating a monopoly. He looked
down his nose little, and then glanced
up, with the remark:
"tMaybe so, but l am interested in
the trust myself, and it makes diff
ference
"He never preached against trusts
to me after that. From the Omaha
Bee.

The M1ssIoNARY's LITTLE JOKE
A native Maori chieftain, the descend
ant of cannibal kings is now complet'
ing his medical education in Chicago
Cannibalism ended in his tribe, he says
when Bishop Selwyn converted his
grandfather; but he tells some stories
of it which have distinctly humorous
flavor. For instance:
1t is said that once chief captured
a missionary who was anything but q
toothsome morsel, as he was old and
thin and looked as if his flesh would
be tough. The missionary warned the
chief that he would not make good
dinner and pulling up his trousers, cut
q slice off the calf of his leg and offer
ed it to the chief.
The chief tasted it, said he didn't
like it and passed it to subchiet;
The sub tasted it, made a wry face and
passed it on. The next man who took
a bite of it spat it out. The misslona'
ry was released. After he had gone 1t
was discovered that he wore cork
leg.
