Preparing for inauguration.

The preparations for the inaugural eere- monies are progressing very satisfae- torily. and it is believed that in many respects the affair will be the most re- markable of the generation. The commit tee is receiving applicatlnos for all sorts of organizations for places in the line, and one of the most interesting features will be the appearance of number of the most famous living Indians. They are to ride Indian ponies and wear their tribal robes and war paint, and will be about the most gorgeous part of the pa
 rade The Indians who are coming are: Ouanah Parker, of the Comanches; Ger onimo of the Apaches: Buckskin Charley representing the Utes; American Horse of the Cheyennes; Hollowhorn Bear of the Sioux; and Little Plume of the Black feet The chiefs will be accompanied by eix interpreters and attendants. They will assemble at the Carlisle Indian school and come her with the Indian school cadets. The committee is very anxious to make this feature perfect,

Washington, February 11.-(Special)- No bit of legislation for long time has caused the comment or created the in terest that has been brought about over the rate bill now pending in Congress For the past month Washington has been the gathering place for the repre- sentative railroad magnates of the coun- try, and their presence has had much to do with the delays in the consideration of the measure. The railroad lobby is here in full force also and members of Congress cannot turn in anyl direction but the face of some railroad president or railroad attorney is seen,
 The bill as it stands does not meet with the wishes of either the majority or the minority, and some of it's features will be eliminated before it is finally acted upon. Of course there is very lit- tie in the bill that pleases the railroad n- terests and they will be pleased to see it hacked to pieces and rendered as weak as possible. The railroad lobby seems confident that the Senate will undo what ever the House does, should 1t adopt the bin in anything like its present form, and the measure will be stripped of any feature that will injure the railroads. Opponents of the bill do not hesitate to say that the bill as it now reads does not conform to the wishes of the Presi- ident and does not strike at the situation as the President proposes. It is also claimed that there will be endless liti- gation and it will be years before the courts will be able to finally decide its legal strength. MT. Townsend does not want the bill changed in any way. The bill, bad or good, has caused the railroads np end of worry and they are deter mined to stihe it as heavily as they can

l rom the New York World.
 The turf or the stage? That is the mo- mentous questions pugilists ask them selves when fortune places them on the top round of their calling in life or sends them adrift to shift for living in some other walk. The problem to eat is a ser ious one to most knights of the padded mitt" and they are forced to seek another line to earn a livelihood when they have lost their cunning and skill and are no longer factors in the strenuous life of the squared circle.
 Many pugilists without ability of any sort except brawn and the science of the kind to protect themselves from punch and to deliver hard blow, are forced to take to the turf as a means to secure bread and butter. The majority of them have, during their devotion to the sport of the manly art of self defense. accumu lated a few thousand dollars and with this money they dream of winning a for tune by backing the thoroughbreds.
 There are others who follow the turf from choice and to gratify their desire to speculate. There are still a few a very few-who wish to tread the boards and some day hope to cry out Lay on, Macduff." but these are in the minority, and they seldom get beyond a part that calls for plenty of action and very little thought.
 Pugllistic Stage Stars.
 It is a curious fact that three leading pugilists-Jeffries, Corbet and Fitzsim mons-have never had much of a desire .l., tc trin to be Thespians. It is among the middle weight and lightweight class of fighters that the recruits for the turf are usually to be found The little fellows enthuias- tic and ever dreaming of a fortune to be made qui ,kly and without much effort, wend their way to the race courses and strive nightly to succeed.
 Where more tnan a hundred go to the tracks each year with plenty of dollars in their pockets, there are scarcely more than one of two who come out of the game with the money they put into it. not considering the greenbacks belong ing to the bookmakers
 For wears Corbet and Fitzsimmons have made a handsome living during the win ter months by acting or what they called such. Corbet as every one knows, is as clever a monologue artist While Fitz- simmons drifts through play which calls for such action on the part of an honest blacksmith. Recently Jeffries took up and elevated the stage by playing the part of Davy crockett.

PATRONIZE THE HOME MER.
CHANTS.

1t is pleasing to note that the
State press is crying down the
practice of some people in patro-
nizing the distant mail order house,
and is pointing ont the many in
stances where the customers are
not only working an injury to the
town, but are themselves losing
money by it. A Gulfport paper
recently noted the fact that a citi-
zen of that town ordered a stove
at what he thought very low
price when the stove came it was
just as represented in the catalogue
but lacked about 100 pounds of
weighing the same as the same
sized range in a local hardware
store which was selling for little
more. And he was cured of the
mail order habit.
The Columbus Commercial has
been making a little canvass along
this line and found four ladies
who had lost altogether $l2.5 OF
four dress patterns, by ordering
from q mail order house instead
of patronizing a local merchant.
In one instance lady had spent
$14 with the mail order house for
dress pattern, when the merchant
could have matched the goods and
charged SO for the pattern. OF
course the lady was cbagrined at
the discovery.
Not long since an editor at lau
rel, after expressing his views to
party of young men on this subject
was presented by one of them with
a six bits Sears 4 Robuck shirt as
substantial testimony from his
point of view that the shirt conld
not be duplicated in the city for
less than one dollar.
