stincts of Il people who escorted to the
executive chair their twenty-sixth Presi-
dent in a little more than a hundred
years of national life--a library which
takes first rank in all the world of beau
ty of architecture and adOrnment.
Surrounding this building, the pride of
the national capital, and in every direc-
ton as far as vision goes, could be seen
the CLINT Of steel. the flying name Of cav
airy horses, the simmer of the uniforms
of the troops, federal and State. alike

but waiting in patience to do escort hon
or.
The most imposing, if not impressive
portion of the inaugural ceremonies I'M
doubtedly took place in the United States
Senate chamber and was witnessed by
1000 people. This was the swearing in
OF the new Vice-President and the in
auguration of the Senate for another
term of Congress. These ceremonies
were very simple in themselves, but the
formality with which they were invested.
their eXclusiveness and the gathering of
distinguished men made it an occasion
Of peculiar interest.
There were gathered all that is con-
sidered great in a republic. There were
the representatives of the highest legis-
lative bodies in the world, the Senate and
House of Representatives of the United
States; there was the highest tribunal
in the world, the Supreme Court of the
United States; there were men who
would hold the highest elective offices in
the world, the President and Vice Presi-
dent of the United States Of America.
In addition there were the representa-
tives of every civilized government on
the face of the earth gathered to do hon
or to the administration of the United
States.
The galleries filled early. and it was
select gathering that witnessed the
scene, select, however, only in the ia
voritism of those who controlled the tick
cts of admission, for there were as dis
tinguished citizens out on the street and
in the great throng in front of the cap
itol as there were in the Senate galleries.
1t could not be otherwise, when two hun
dred thousand came, and only one thou
sand could be admitted.
At night came the ball, the great social
function of the day. This took place in
the pension building, which has been
used regularly for the purpose since it
was first erected, the spacious court in
the center of the building surrounded by
galleries and balconies having been prov
ed to be an admirable scene for great
national reception and dance. Balls have
been the regular thing ever since James
Madison was indicted into office, except
for the fact that Franklin Pierce was
passed by because nobody cared to get
up a ball for him. Thus ended the regu-
lar events of inauguration day, but for
the purpose of amusing the hundreds of
thousands of visitors divers concerts
were arranged for a day or two after
ward, which more or less in the
nature of the side show to a circus, but
which nevertheless contributed material
iy to the receipts of the big show.

eXtravagant of scales-dimmed the glo-
ries of all its predecessors. 1t was the
dream of thousands crystallized into life
and light, color and rhythm. 1t filled
many fair woman's cup of ambition
trimming full and running over. 1t dow
cred many a blameless man with a hap
Ply, eyer-present boast for all his remain
ing days. ..
The scene of these splendors was the
great pension building, which is generous
enough to encompass city: square and
tall enough to swallow a sky scraper
In its center is a court large enough to
hold a church, spire and all. and the court
is surrounded by endless colonnades ris-
ing tier above tier.
This hall, with gigantic proportions be-
fitting the great republic, was draped
with wilderness of flowers and greens
and flags and gay stuffs, and the whole
flooded with the dazzling radiance of a
myriad of electric lights. The walls of
the court were hidden under endless
stretches Of white draperies, spalshed
with golden cloths in sweeping loops and
graceful circles.
On this background of white and gold
labor had spread the wealth of the world
of flora. Southern ivy ran riot in deli
cate traceries. Evergreen ropes ,circled
the hall in ervving pendants. Palms of
many kinds reared their fronded heads IN
lofty pride above ferns. bays and lesser
plants, while genestas lent, their yellow
blossoms and spyrea japonicas their
white plumes to the maze of color.
The music vas continuous. The Ma
rine band Supplied promenade music,
while Haley's orchestra of 125 pieces
played for the dancers. The musical pro-
gram embraced selections of the highest
order. The ball program was repeated at
FIVE concerts, to which the public was ad-
mitted for a nominal admission: together
with selections by a picked orchestra of
600 voices supported by both band and
orchestra. These concerts were expect
ed to help in large measure TO defray
the COST of the ball

The second Inauguration of William
Mckinley was even more grandiy impress
sive than the first. For more than three
months the Inauguration committee, of
which the Hon. j. ]. Edison was chair
man, had been industriously at work on
plans and details. While preserving all
the time-hOnored features of inaugural
ceremonies, they introduced many new

The situation in the Balkans has be-
come so threatening that on Thursday
10000 Turkish troops were concentrated
on the Bulgarian frontier. This move
ment does not necessarily mean an inva
sion of Bulgaria, although events are
rapidly drifting toward Turkish occupa-
ton of that principality, but when that
point is reached the rest of Europe will
have something TO say. The present
trouble is caused by the revolutionary
Bulgarian committee in Macedonia. The
Bulgarian people, actuate1 by hatred Of
the Sultan, as well as by religious inn
pulse, are unquestionably determined that
Macedonia shall be freed from Turkish
rule The Macedonian revolutionary COM
mittee dominates the population of Bull
garia. The time is apparently coming
when Turkey must interfere in Bulgaria
or else lose Macedonia. Already the Bull
garian revolutionary party has been in
conflict with Turkish troops. Turkey can
cope with the situation easily enough If
left to herself. But Germany, Austria.
Russia, nor, for that matter, Great Brit
ain. will hardly consent to Turkish occu-
patton of Bulgaria. The Sultan is thus
confronted with a seSious dilemma. He
cannot apparently save Macedonia with
out making virtual war on Bulgaria, and
this the powers will not permit.

LIKE A FAIRY's DREAM.

and Grandeur.

inauguration Ball Scene of Wonder
and Grandeur.
Democratic pomp reached its dazzling
climax at the Inauguration ball. Such
scenes of magnifcence are beheld rather
less than once a lifetime, and then are
generally conjured up by the magic Of a
fairy tale. It's splendo-s shamed the SUI
perlatives of admiration as weak, beggar-
ly and worthless. rs trappings were
worthy the munifcent efforts of those
omnipotent genii who transform bubbles
into diamonds with Lreath.
Its bewildering beauties would have
satisfied the most eXacting exquisite of
the fairy world, whose dreams always
come true. Its display of lustrous stuffs
and glittering gems would have excited
the envy of that ancient Mr.. Croesus who
set the fashion of being so rich that no
one could disprOYe it.
The only incident to throw Il shade over
the general festivities was when Mrs.
Mckinley suddenly became indisposed.
The President would not leave her, and
so the grand march, for which all was
ready, had to be abandoned.

The inauguration did not lack for mu-

CARNATIONS in attendance. The famous
Marine band had to divide honors with
Fanchullis noted organization of New
York and with lines celebrated body of
MUSICIANS. The Grand Army band of
Canton, Ohio, 100 pieces, was one of the
most conspicuous, and Beldstedt's Con-
cert band of Cincinnati, one of the most
popular organizations east of the Missis-
sippi had a prominent place in the cere-
monies. Among others We're several In
dian bands that have reputation for ex-
cellence, of which that from the Indian
training school at Chamberlain, S. D., is
perhaps the best known.
There were regimental bands galore,

one of them, the Second Brigade band
from Maine, having wide reputation in
the New England States. Mace Gays
celebrated band of Brockton, Mass, was
one of the most attractive. its reputation
for martial music having been establish

As a result of the changeable climate,
catarrh has become one of the most
prevalent and universal diseases known
to man. Nearly one third of the people
of the United States are afflicted with
catarrh in some of Its many phases and
stages. Add to this the fact that catarrh
rapidly tends to become fixed or chronic,
also the further fact that 1t is capable
of producing a great many other dis
eases, and we begin to realize the true
nature of this dread disease.
So formidable has catarrh become
that in every city or town of any size
numerous doctors are to be found who
make the treatment of catarrh a spe
claity. OF course a great deal of good
Is accomplished in this way, but as yet
a comparatively small number of the

The student of events in the old world
cannot fail to be impressed with the
gravity of the crisis row confronting the
Austro-Hungarian empire. Probably no
government in Europe has so precarious
Il footing. Certainly no government in
Europe faces so many complications.
parliamentary government has been sus-
pended in Austria since Feb. l, 1899.
The government since that date has been
carried on under the provision of article
ii of the constitution, an emergency
clause giving the Emperor and his cabi-
net advisers absolute control in default
OF legislative action. The government
has made persistent efforts for more than
two years to return to parliamentary gov
eminent, but without success. Racial
and religious disputes have engrOssed the
attention of the population to the exclu-
sion of all else. For weeks the Reichs
rath has been the scene of disgraceful
personal encounters between the MEN,
bers. Treason is openly avOwed and the
man who claims to be loyal to the dual
empire is denounced in so many words
as fool The difficulty of maintaining u

Austria is made up of 100000 Ger

THE NAVAL DISPLAY.
Light Draft but Powerful Vessels
Were Present.

Were Present.
The naval display at the inauguration
was limited only by the depth of the Po-
tomac. AS is well known, the river is
not deep enough. to permit ships of the
line to approach the city, but has sniff
cient depth to allow monitors and tornado
craft to come clear up to the docks. Com
sequently the ships taking part in fbe
ceremonies were the monitor Puritan
several torpedo boats, and some swift
cruisers and tugs These vessels wnra
ranged along the whsrves at the navy
yard, where they were easy of access for
visitors, who were allowed to examine
them and see what powerful vessels
Uncle Sam has, which are capable of
sailing up the rivers of this or any other
country when occasion demands.
The vessels lent their guns to the sa-
lutte fred when the President took the
oath of Office, and with those of the forts
and batteries made the city shake. Their
marines and sailors took part in the pro-
cesSiOn, which contained nearly 1900
men from the several branches of the
