hours to 60 from Pensacola to Miami.
The man who makes this remark would
think he was travelling on flyer if he
made the trip from Pensacola to Chi
cago in the same length Of time it would
take him to go to Miami. But there IS
very little difference. a land trip from
one end of Florida to the other is az
long as from the Lakes to the Gulf.

he hass done this he has taken no long
err ride than he could have taken BY
an equally direct line from one Florida
town to another, and there are some
men green enough to think they are
making poor time when they find it
takes them longer to 90 from Pensacola
to Miami than from the eastern to the

Presidents Inauguration Address viii
Be Very Brief Some Of the
Sights and Incidents Of
Preparation.
INAUGURATION SMILES

Washington, d. G., March 3.-The
Presidents inaugural address win be
very brief 1t is intimated by those
who have talked with him that he will
not occupy more than 10 or ~ minutes
in its delivery. One Of the reasons for
this is that the day may be extremely
unpleasant and it win endanger many
lives ii the thousands are kept standing
in the cold while the President makes
long address. The address of Vice
President Fairbanks will be also very
brief, taking but few minutes of the
time of the Senate.
The sun came out bright and warm
yesterday, the snow melted, and thou
sands of workmen resumed their ham
mering and painting of grand stands.
Five thousand flags We're distributed
from the war department and were soon
futtering in the crisp and sharp March
breeze; the Rough Riders galloped their
ponies up and down Pennsylvania ave-
nue., to get their mounts used to the
asphalt; the weather man ventured to
say that if there were no nasty, naugh-
ty storms in hiding, as there We're four
years ago, all would be well Saturday
The enterprising restaurant that has
cornered the oyster market said the
price would not be raised any higher,
and all this combined to make Wash
ington very happy.
1t was very miserable city last eve
ming. The wind was cold and raw In
the early day there was snow and rain

the strangers in town were made most
uncomfortable.
1t is feared that the reports Of the
exceedingly bad weather would keep the
crowds down The hotel men kept their
nerve and this morning they are pleas
ed over their courage. Tuesday one of
the big hotels wanted $I70 for two
rooms; Wednesday the price was $270,
the money in advance This morning
the price was raised 500, and thinks
if the sun continued to shine he will
get the money
The decorators have been re-enforc-
ed by assistants from Philadelphia and
Baltimore and there is every prospect
that the mechanical arrangements will
be ready for the day.
There are not many visitors yet in
the city. The big hotels are now crowd
ed and the streets, which are usually
streaming with strangers the entire
week before Inauguration, now are not
more occupied than usual
The missing element is the political
one. The ofEice-seeker il not here
The state chairmen are here, but not
conspicuous. The few offices to be Civ
en- are promised. The political chang
es are 50 slight that they cut no fea
ture in the change of administration.
One Of the popular features of the in
auguration has been furnished by a
man from the West. He sent carload
of big hickory sticks. They are about
two feet long and ! liz inches in di-
ameter. They are called "Teddy's Big
Stick" and half Of Washington is al
ready armed with them.
Up to date there are more women |
than men in the city. They come in
clubs and companies of their own, leav
ing the men folks at home. Apparently !
the President has a following Of his own |
among the women folk of the country. |

This class of diseasesis caused by germ or
