THE FIRST INAUGURATION.
Second Induction of Thomas Jeffer-
son Was the Initial One at
Washington.

No midnight frivolities marked the
advent of the aristocratic John Adams,
nor did the people SO indulge upon
Jefferson's inaugurations, the second
of which, in 1905, is. memorable as hav'
ing been the first Inauguration held
in Washington, says the National Mag
azine.
Hospitality and gayety reigned SUI
preme from the first moments of Mad
,son's presidency. After the cere-
monies incident to administering the
oath of Office, the president and his
escort were lavishly served, by ladies,
at the white house. Ex-President JEFF
terson assisted in the service 1t
would be interesting to know whether
ne was in his accustomed neglige.
More interesting, however, is his
cordial welcome to his successor in
comparison with John Adams escape
from the city in private conveyance
at dawn of Jefferson's inauguration
day. Later presidents, too, have
shown less noble spirit than Jeffer-
sons on similar occasions. John
Quincy Adams is said to have ridden
on horseback about the city, within
earshot of the salute announcing Jack
sons succession, unwilling to witness
he ceremony, and Tyler FASTENED to
the river and embarked in the early
morning of his retiring to private cit
izenship.

TUESDAY EUCHRE CLUB.
All of Its Swell Members Hooked
Up the Back.

Mrs. Stanley's euchre party was
scheduled to begin at $3.50 in the aft
ernoon. Ten minutes after that time
she rushed madly down the stairs to
seek aid in the kitchen. Her silk gown
opened in the back and no matter how
supple and athletic woman may be,
she cannot hook up gown that opens
at the back. The second girl stopped
spreading sandwiches when her mis-
tress backed up to her. do hurry
now, Martha" Mrs. Stanley painted.
''it's past time and the people are liza
BILE to arrive at any minute"
Martha hooked up the waist by main
force and then discovered that she had
not begun right at the neck. Then
she did her work over again and this
time the two edges came out even at
the belt. Then Mrs. Stanley hurried
into the drawingroom, glanced into
the mirror, pulled curl in place and
sat down, trying to look as if she
had been serenely waiting for some
time to receive her guests. 1t was
three o'clock before Mrs. Murphy
burst into the room in a feverish way,
then looked around, surprised to see
that it was empty save for her hostess.
II thought 1 was Late" she gasped.
"But couldn't get maid to hook
up my dress. I sent a bell boy about
forty times after one, and they didn't
come, and I was afraid would keep
the whole party waiting. Isn't it aw-
full to have clothes that open in the
back?"
Before Mrs. Murphy had finished the
tale of the troubles of woman who
lives alone in a hotel and has her
waists button at the back Ella Wylie
came in. Her usual aristocratic COM
posture was sadly married by flush on
her cheek bones and an angry spark
in her eyes. 81 hope I'm not late" she
said, 'but I'm just ready to kill my
young brother. The maid had to go
off to the dentists to have tooth
pulled and mamma went to her club
and, of course, papa is downtown at
business, and 1 told George that he
must be sure to stay around the fiat
this afternoon so I could have him
button up my dress. He wanted me
to dress before lunch so he could go
over to the park to skate, but I wasn't
going to sit around two or three hours
before time. I did my hair and got
all dressed and slipped on my bodice,
then I put my head out of the door
and called to George. He didn't an
swer. I called louder and louder, but
he didn't come. Then I hunted all
over the place-no George. Finally 1
saw him skating down on the sidewalk
in front of the building with some
other boys. I put my head out of the
window and I commanded him to come
upstairs and button my dress. He
laughed and said he'd come if prom

reach the middle hooks. We haven't
any near neighbors, SO 1 telephones
for a cab and I started over"
"Why, Mrs. Blewett, your dress isn't
hooked up now!" Madge Stern said.
She sat where she commanded rear
view Of the belated guest.
"Why, no, of course not!" Mrs
Blewett answered. 81 was just going
to say that when the cab came I put
my cloak on over my dress and
thought I would get hooked up here.
I couldn't think of anything else to
do"
Mrs. Blewett was made presentable

A TOWN IN TWO STATES.
And n Railroad That Has One Rail
in Tennessee. the other
in Virginia.

A Washington dispatch to the Chi
cago Record says that certain change
in the boundary line, as agreed be-
tween Virginia and Tennessee, has just
been ratified by congress. This re-
calls good story. For years the town
OF Bristol, in east Tennessee, has had
the unique distinction of being in two
states. There are two separate mu-
nicipal corporations, one under the
laws of Tennessee and the other I'M
der the laws of Virginia. They are
known as Bristol, Tenn, and Bristol,
Va. The corporation of Bristol, Tenn,
extending to the east curbing of Main
street, the principal business thor
oughfare of the twin cities. Both cor
porations wished to pave this street
that is, they considered it necessary
but how to go about to divide the ex-
pense attached was the question to
be considered.
The city of Bristol, Tenn, did not
care to pay for paving the entire thor
oughfare up to the sidewalk on the
Bristol (Va.) side, while the corpora
lion of Bristol, Va, could not step
across the imaginary line and expend
city funds in Tennessee. This was
tangled proposition for the fathers
of the two cities. 1t was suggested
that the matter be taken to the legis-
lature and have the Tennessee general
assembly cede one-half of Main street
TO Virginia. The sister state was
tickled to death to accept the propo-
sition, as Gov. Tyler told Gov. McMillin
over the telephone the other day. The
Tennessee solons passed the bill. 1t
s,vas engrossed and sent to the Virginia
general assembly. These lawmakers
accepted the gift, and then congress
was asked to ratify the action of the
two legislatures.
The result of the work is that the
boundary line between Virginia and
Tennessee is in the center of Main
street. There is now an electric street
car line on this thoroughfare, with one
rail in Tennessee and the other in Vir-
ginia. Each state will collect one-half
of the taxes on the street railway
property. The car line runs along for
a mile and half in the two states.
Many interesting stories are told Of
complications in the past caused by
the boundary line.
