Chicago & Alton Road Will Connect
All Stations by Telephone.
The Chicago and Alton Railroad has
entered into contract with the Bell
Telephone Company providing for the
construction of complete telephone
system covering the entire lines of the
Alton road. Fifty exchanges are TO be
installed as beginning, and the work of
construction will commence at once. East
st. Louis will be the location of the CEN
tral exchange, from which point the lines
will radiate and ultimately will be Op-
Grated over the road north to Chicago
and west to Kansas City, with lines ex-
tending to the different branches. 1t is
said that it is not the present intention
of the management to use the telephone
service in the operation of trains, al
though it is thought likely that such use
will come eventually. The principal value
of the telephone at the outset will be
in the transmission of messages which
will facilitate the handling of the Atoms
great freight traffic. The success of the
New York Central-Lake Shore telephone
has caused the management to consider
its extension to cover all lines of the
Vanderbilt system-AIichigan Central,
Big -Four, West Shore, Lake Erie and
Western, Three "I's" and other roads.

l will faithfully execute the office OF
President of the United States, and, to
the best of my ability, protect, preserve
and defend the Constitution of the United
States"
This oath is slowly repeated by the
President-elect after the chief justice of
the Supreme Court, in the presence OF
the public, upon a platform erected In
front of the main door on the eastern
side of the capitol. After the President
has taken the oath he delivers his inau-
gural address. While the oath is being
repeated the President-elect and the chief
justice face each other and hold with
their right hands, between them. a Bible,
furnished by some person interested or
especially procured for the occasion,
becomes the property of the President
after it has been appropriately inscribed
and sealed by the chief clerk of the Su-
preme Court. President Cleveland. at
both inaugurations, took the oath upon
a little red pocket Bible which was given
him by his mother when he left home as
n boy. President Harrison used Bible
that had been presented to him by a
Sunday school class in indianapolis.
At the close of the oath the President
elect bows his head and kisses the open
page of the book, and it has been Gus
tomary for him or for his wife or a
friend to select some appropriate pas
sage at which the book shall be opened
and the verse upon which he shall press
his lips. Sometimes, when those inter-
ested forget or neglect to choose a pas
sage, the Bible is opened at random, but
the clerk of the Supreme Court is al

ly Ill at Honolulu and Dies in Agony.
The tragic death of Mrs. Jane Leland
Stanford in cOnvulsiOns at Honlulu Tues
day night, crying, Il am poisoned is ex-
pected TO develop a most remarkable
mystery. Fleeing from poisoning which
almost took her life Mrs. Stanford.
among the wealthiest women in the
world, famed philanthropist and benefac-
Tor of education. expired in her apart
ments in the Moana hotel after drinking
soda water.
Not one motive can be ascribed for
the supposed murder of Mrs Stanford.
but her sudden death came after she had
appeared in perfect health and following
an equally mysterious poisoning of the
philanthrpoist in her San Francisco pal
ace.
Physicians first called diagnosed her
sudden fatal attack as ''tetanus of the
respiratory organs" An examination af-
ter her death confirmed this diagnosis.
but the scientists confessed themselves
unable to furnish any Ieason for the sud-
denness of such an attack. An inquest
was held. and an autopsy reported the
discovery of tetanus.
Mrs. Stanford was found moaning in
her death agonies but conscious and in
telligent. She died in less than an hour
after she drank the medicine. though she
had been in active health and high spirits
all day.
She told her servants and the persons
who had rushed to her bedside of the
medicine she had taken. and then. as the
cOnvulSiOnS grew worse, she seemed to
come to full realization that she was
about to die and exclaimed: Il have been
poisoned This is a horrible death to
die,'
Her own physician, DIR. f. II. Humph-
reys, and another in the hotel. DIR. II. V.
MURRAY, did all in their power, but in
vain, to alleviate her piteous cOnvulsions.
She died within forty minutes.
Two months before in her bOudOir in
her San Francisco mansion she had been
stricken with similar convulsiOns after
drinking a bottle of imported mineral
water found to contain strychnine, which
resulted in her flight toward the Orient
for an extended tour.

with her mistress at each poisoning, al
most swooned as Mrs. Stanford was dy-
ing. The secretary said she had pur-

No motive is conceivable for the muir

who has given S3S0O0.0O0 to free educa-
tion and a woman noted and beloved for
her unselfish solicitude for others.

The great inaugural parade was, of
course. the spectacular event in which
everybody was most interested. 1t be-
gan ct about o'clock, after the in
augural address had been delivered.
There are various ceremonies in con-
nection with an Inauguration which
the public is but little interested in,
because limited number can see
them. But the parade is for ALL Many
saw it from the stands which We're
erected along Pennsylvania avenue, on
which seats could be obtained at from
81 to S25 each. These stands were so
numerous that temporary sawmill
was built opposite the White House to
provide the lumber for them. One of
them had seating capacity of 5000.
But those who occupied seats on the
stands and In the windows were
small number compared to the thous-
ands who lined the curbs, and shouted
themselves hoarse. They had much
to look upon. Washington has seen
many splendid parades, but no such
variety of uniforms ever appeared on
the streets as was seen this year.
General o. o. Howard and staff rode
at the head. Next came Squadron A,
of New York, followed by the Presi-
dental party and the escort of Rough
Riders Then followed the military
companies, including regulars, militia
and Independent companies. There
was similarity of uniform in the mill
tia brigades and the regulars, but the
monotony was broken by the scarlet,
gold, white. blue and buff of the inde-
pendent companies. There were cadets
and midshipmen, the latter to the
number Of 100 comprising the battal-
ion from Annapolis. There were Fill
pinos and Porto Ricans in the uniform
OF Uncle Sam.

campaign clubs and organizations

WHEN FORKS WE'RE NEW
How Their Use Impressed a Lady the
First Time She Saw Them

How Their Use Impressed a Lady the
First Time She Saw Them.
A lady who saw forks used for the
first time at a dinner Of Henry III. of
France records her impressions" of
the occasion. Henry had in 1547 been
rendered a magnificent reception in
Venice. At this entertainment forks
were used. The royal guest observed
them with much interest and immedi-
ately introduced them to the French
court.
1t seems from the account OF the
lady, who had never used them be-
fore, that some others were in the same
predicament She writes:
'They never touched the meat with
their fingers. hut with forks, which
they carried to their mouths. bending
their necks and bodies over their
plates.
There were several salads. These
they ate with forks. for it is not con.
sidered proper to touch the food with
the fingers. However difficult it may
be to manage it, it is thought better
to put the little forked instrument IN
the mouth than the fingers.
''The artichokes, asparagus, peas and
beans were brought. 1t was a pleasure
to watch them try to eat these with
their forks, for some, who were less
adroit thar the others, dropped as
many on their plates and on the way
to the mouth as they were able to get
to their mouths
"Afterward great silver basin and
pitcher of water were brought. and
the guests washed their hands, though
1t seems as if there would not be much
scent Of meat and grease on them, for
they had touched their food only with
those forked instruments"

Standard OILS phenomenal Profits.

In the % years of its existence, the
Standard Oil Company has paid $780,
065, 900 in dividends on its $100, 100000
of stock. This $496, ,O65 900 is consid
erably more than One-fifth of all the

The S4S6, ,065. 900 hitherto distributed
does not represent the total profits of
the oil trust. What its surplus and un-
divided profits are no one outside of the
innermost hierarchy of the oil kings
knows. Nor is there any means of know
ing how much is spent each year in lob
bying and in influencing legislation, in
crushing competition and strengthening
the grip of the trust on its monopoly.
BY far the largest part of the Stand
ard Oil profits have been accumulated
in the last nine and quarter years.
Prior to 1896 the total dividends paid
amount to less than $130,OO0.O00. Since
that date the profits have been on such
scale that the total is astounding.
