Day "a Notable one-DetaiIs of the
Ceremonies.
Washington, March 6.-From spec
tacular point Of view the event of Mon
day eclipsed anything hitherto seen at
a presidential Inauguration. 1t Is esti-
mated that not less than 10000 men
were in line.
Al 10 o'clock in the morning the civic
and military escort which accompanied
the president to the capitol began to
form in the vicinity of the executive
mansion. This escort was of impressive
proportions, consisting of the grand
marshal and his staff, Troop of
Cleveland, the Union Veteran legion
of the department of the Potomac,
Grand Army of the Republic, and the
first division of the military grand
division, which included the regulars
of the United States army. the naval
battalion, the cadets of the United
States Military academy and the naval
cadets from Annapolis.
Troop A received the president as he
entered his carriage in front of the
executive mansion. AS the president
passed the other organizations of the
escort they stood until the flank of
each was uncovered and then wheeled
into position, each In its proper place,

"THAT's OLD SAM PATCH, AND HE'S AFTER
MEl"
an hours notice. He had been found
to be a man who thoroughly knew his
business, and 1t was understood that
he was an old whaleman. He had spun
no yarns of his adventures, however,
and now for the first time, as the whale
kept pace with us and the frightened
crew tiptoed about the decks, the mate
gave us a brief outline. He had been
whaling In every sea, both in sail and
steam vessels, and had been ashore aft
er his last cruise only a month when
joining ps. Three years before in a
whaler out of London they had lower
ed for monster whale off the Madei-
ras and fought him for four hours. The
leviathan had smashed two boats and
killed five men. Davids In his boat had
got him fast, but the whale sounded
so deep they had to cut the line and
let him go. Three months later 700
miles to the north the whaler encoun-
tered the same fish and had another
boat destroyed and two men killed.
Again Davids got fast, but after being
towed Is miles to windward had to cut
loose. Six months later, down off
the coast Of Brazil, he had his third
fight with the same whale and got In
third harpoon.
During the next two years Davids
sighted that whale, which had come to
be known as Sam Patch, off the Cape
of Good Hope, off the coast of Peru
and off the coast of Mexico, and on
each and every occasion at least one
boat was smashed and some one killed,
and the mate also made fast and had to
let go again. The whale had scars by
which he could easily be identified. He
had always been known as wild fish,
and that he should rise so near our
bark and keep company with us for
hours was more than mystery to the
mate.
I'm tell you what it is" he said after
leaning his elbows on the rail and TAX
ing long look ut the vast bulk almost
rubbing our starboard side; that
whale Is after me. He knows I'm
aboard here. Six of my harpoons are
rusting In his carcass, and though I'm
not after him on this voyage he wants
revenge"
We laughed at the idea, but the mate
chung to 1t. He was an intelligent,
fairly educated man, and 1t was evil
dent that he fully believed In his own
words. Perhaps 1t was his earnestness
that made us also come to believe that
there might be something In 1t, al
| though 1t looked absurd at first sight
When the whale had been keeping
| company with us for three hours, we
| let the bark go four points off her
course, thinking to quietly steal away
from him, but he changed his course
and kept with her. Then we shortened
sail, but he slowed up. For an hour
we worked to part company, but he
was up to all our tricks. For seven
long hours he hung to US, and then Of q
sudden he sank out of sight without SO
much as a splash. We argued that he
had gone for good, and 1t was weight
off our minds, but Davids shook his
head In a mournful way and replied:
"Sam Patch came here after me,
and he won't leave for good till he gets
me. He's only of to feed"
| We reached the island without hav-
ing seen more Of him, however. AS we
came within q mile OF the north shore
the bark Was .thrQKn Into the Wind.

During a summer vacation the rare
opportunity was given me of studying
the nest building habits of small fiat
in Lake Sunapee, N. III.
My fish had selected quiet cove
within a few. feet of the shore and
quite near row Of cottages. Pre-
sumably they We're less In fear of man
than of the finny tribe. Their nests
were circular In form and about the
size of q bushel basket. They were
followed out in the center like a saucer
and were kept In perfect shape and
motion of the tail fin of the fish, held
In q perpendicular position. The bot
tom of the lake being of a dark color
and these nests made of white sand,
you could easily see what neat house
keeper this little fish was. Each nest
had its owner, who fought for her
hearth and home" with great valor,
chasing off every intruder and seldom
being vanquished In the fray.
This pugnacious creature was es-
sentially q home body, seldom leaving
a nest except TO uart OH q Few In quest
Of food or In hot pursuit of an invader.
This little fish is a bold robber as well
as valiant fighter. l noticed one of
the largest specimens drive a smaller
one from her nest again and again
and then take possession of it, spend
ing her time between her own nest and
the one she had robbed. counted
three dozen Of these nests, not more
than u foot apart. Some of these fish
were beautifully colored.
/ went down to the lake very early
one morning to take look at my pets.
The water was very calm and clear.
Nearly all of the fish were lying per-
fectly still in the center of their nest,
apparently fast asleep. - Interstate

OLD TUNES.

Old tunes, old tunesi How memory croons
Their rhythm through my soul tonight
OF Joy replete or pathos sweet,
In scenes that charm my raptured sight
A form once loved, by fancy moved,
Enthralls me as In days agone,
And bright eyes beam with loves first dream
Lips warm unto mine own.
Hand clasps hand in friendships bond
Ger VOWS once broken, now restored.
And laughter low. with music's How,
Vibrate with one accord.
Oh, tender past; weird, mystic pasti
Fain would dream thy pleasures DER,
And tunes, old tunes that memory croons,
Thrill through my soul forevermore.

TEA-DRINKING SOUTH.
Formerly a Medicine, but Is Now

Formerly a Medicine, but Is Now q
Beverage.
'The increased consumption Of tea
is one of the interesting phases Of mod,
ern commercial life in the South" said
a drummer to a reporter, ''and you
would be surprised at the vast change
which has taken place in this respect.
The fact is that during the past few
years the changes in the tea business
has amounted to a revolution. l have
just returned from a trip on the road
and touched some of the most remote
places in Texas and Mississippi, and
while l have been out before in the
same territory, | was surprised at the
increased number of tea drinkers.
up to few years ago in the more
remote sections Of the country tea was
used almost exclusively in the sick
room. Tea had to be bought in the
country from the druggist. The man
who dealt in general merchandise rare
ly thought of selling tea, unless he had
a medicine counter in his store. Tea
was something finicky, to be given to

crackers, tasteless broth and things
of that sort.
This is not the case now. Tea Is
bought in rather large quantities by
country merchants and the country folk
use it for other than sick-room pur-
poses. 1t is extensively used through
out the country.
'There is a still more interesting fact
in connection with the growth Of the
tea trade. Negroes are now great tea
consumers. You would be surprised at
the amount Of tea consumed by this ele-
ment of the population. Using tea is
new thing with the negro element, but
since they have gotten into the tea
drinking habit they have vastly in
creased the consumption of the prod.
uct. Yes, they have about quit using
sassafras roots for tea-making purposes
and this rather primitive drink is now
used for it's medicinal purposes. 1t has
exchanged places with the other tea.
''These are some of the reasons for
the increased consumption Of tea
There are, of course, many other spe-
cial and general causes for the new de-
mand and altogether the changes form
a rather interesting subject SO far as
modern commerce is concerned. New

Boy seasick, but Game.

He was one of three diminutive mes
senger boys hired to remain aboard the
big ocean going tugboat that followed
the yachts. There was quite general
swell on when the tug got out about
the lightship and the wind coming up
strong, made a nasty sea.
The dipping and rolling of the boat
made this boy more sick than the
others. He lay on the after deck, IN
able to move and groaning at intervals
Once in a great while he raised his dull
heavy eyes to note the positions Of the
yachts.
All day he lay there, refusing to go
inside the spacious cabin. When the
tug pulled in at the pier he was so weak
he had to be helped ashore.
His face was haggard, and, supported
by his companions, he dragged himself
up the pier, eliciting sympathy from all
the yachting reporters.
Halfway up the pier he hobbled over
to the reporter who had been in charge
Of the boat that day, says the New York
Mail and Express, and placed two blue
and trembling hands on the wrist of
the newspaper man. His wan face was
raised, and he said in a hoarse, tense
whisper:
Hey, mister! If yer want boy agin
termorrer ask fur me, will yer, mister?''
He was game.

powers are adapted to it's instincts. It's
beak is feeble compared with that Of
the eagle. The toes are longer, feebler,
with huge hooked claws, and incapable
of grasping a heavy weight during
flight.
Where he finds his food, there he ban
quets, never attempting to carry it to
his haunts. OF a powerful and robust
build, he has neither the bill nor the
talons of the eagle, the former being
elongated and hooked only at the top
and the latter comparatively small and
feeble. Nor has he an exclusive appe-
tite for blood, carrion and putrid ami
mails being greedily devoured by it.
This rare bird attacks lambs, kids and
the weak and sickly of the flock. The
strong limbed chamOis is not secure,
nor, when rendered desperate by hun
ger, will the ravenous bird forebear an
attack on man. Children are said to
have often fallen a sacrifice to it's ra-
pacity.

A good pun is rather uncommon. but
a joke that may be so described was
made recently by Andrew Carnegie. to
whom some advocates of an Anglo
American alliance had appealed for an
emblematic flower. Mr.. Carnegie
promptly suggested the dandelion, urg-
ing that the American dandy" In the
shrewd, Yankee, business sense of the
term, joined with the British lion"
would result in a blossom which must
rule the world. He was evidently not
thinking Of Yankee Doodle Dandy,
whose sentiments in the olden time
were not in agreement with those of
John Bull.

AS startling a case Of duplicity as has
ever been exposed is reported from
New York. Joseph Goldman, good hus-
band, fond father, reputable business
man, was also leader of band OF
thieves and receiver of stolen goods,
For many years he had led these two
lives without detection. Suddenly two
Of his accomplices, under fear of pun
ishment, turned upon him, and, in or
der to tighten their own sentences,
gave evidence that left no doubt Of his
guilt He was proved to be implicated
in a dozen clever rObberies which We're
carried out under his direction. In
fact, he seems to have devised the vii
lainies which his confederates eXecut-
ed. He was contriyer and manager.
The others simply carried out his in
structions. 1t was not that he was
exposed to sudden temptation and
yielded His guilt was darker than
that For years he had conducted
systematic robbing business. He had
a large loft in Water street where he
stored stolen articles, and from that
"fence" he distributed his plumber
through the city. It was necessary,
therefore, that he should live a contin-
ual lie, and that be should have been
able to do so for so long time shows
either a remarkable steadiness OF will
or else a total want of those moral
principles which, when they are vlolat-
ed. lead to uneaSiness and remOrSe. He
was tried, found guilty, and sent to the
penitentiary. His lawyer pleaded for
leniency on the ground that his life as
a business man had been irreproach-
able. The judge rejected the plea con-
temptuously. He refused to admit that
the man who is burglar by night
should be given a lighter sentence be
cause he is hypocrite during the day.
He thought such man deserved a
heavier sentence than one who did not
lead a dual life.

marriage Of Wilhelmina and Heinrich
of Mecklenburg- Schwerin. In the early
part Of 1900, Kaiser Wilhelm, having a
second son with no matrimonial entan-
clements, thought he saw way Of
uniting the royal houses of Hohen-
zollern and Orange. He invited the girl
queen and her mother to Potsdam to
visit him and his family. At the same
time Heinrich Of Mecklenburg-Schwe
in was there with his mother. He was
about pa weH-built, good-looking fell
low, with no end of uniforms and with
the reputation of being "a fine young
man. When the Hollanders arrived at
the Potsdam palace Of the Kaiser,
| Heinrich happened to be near the coach
door as they came up, and opened it
and handed the queen and her mother
out
| 1t was a little after that-two days,
it is said-that in opening an iron gate
for her as she was walking with the
Kaiser, Heinrich scratched his hand SO
the blood came. With a little cry, Will
helmina ran to him and bound it up
with her handkerchief. She and Helm
rich looked into each others eyes. The
Kaiser saw the look and was wroth,
and arranged to have the duke continu-
ally absent from her side after that,
but Wilhelmina and he managed to
meet in the garden Of the palace in a
shaded place, and there-the third time
they had seen each other-he confessed
that he loved her SO madly that he
could not live without her
''Well," said the young queen, &C.
cording to that tradition which, like
all royal traditions, is fixed to make
the queen as shy and humorous as pos
sible. ''What about Prince Frederick
OF Prussia? He loves me, too"
Well, Of course, Heinrich, either be-
ing wise or loyal, would not run against
the prince, so he begged the queens
pardon and started to leave, but she
put out her hand and detained him.
while she said: II want to know thee
better"
The love affair progressed smoothly
and the two were married, after which
they started for a honeymoon Of IN
d1IOSSu b1ISS DIT LOO, ucd1 Amsterdam.
They were hardly away from The
Hague, however, before there were ru-
mors Of quarrels because the queen re-
fused to pay Heinrich's debts So yio-
lent were these quarrels that the dow
ager, who tried to restore peace, was
made i'll by them. Wilhelmina had set
tied on Heinrich out Of her p&yate for
tune an annual income of $4,000. and
she refused to be responsible for any
thing he had done before marriage.
Heinrich took the money quickly
enough, with the title of Prince Of the
Netherlands which she gave him, but
when he asked for extra spending mon
ey and she refused 1t he grew wroth.
He was not pleased either to learn that
the queens husband was not recog-
nized In the Dutch constitution as Of
any more Importance than burgher.
Hefnrich's creditors had become clam
orous, and finally on May these usur
ers, who represented every CAPITAL in
Europe, decided to throw the notes into
the open market in Amsterdam and get
what they could for them. At that VII.
