THE INAUGURAL BALL
MAGNIFICENT AFFAIR ON
AN IMMENSE SCALE.
VIII BE Held in the Pension Building,
and Attended by $4,000 People
The Marine Band and a Chorus of
600 Voices viii Be the Principal
Sources OF Muslc-An Festivities
Promptly Called Off at Midnight

Washington, d. c., March S.-A
small army of artists and florists,
painters and decorators were busily
employed in the pension building to-
day putting the finishing touches to
the work of preparation for the in
augural ball. The decorations are on
the most elaborate scale ever at
tempted here. The wall and the col
umns and the windows and every
nook and corner will be filled with
green's and cut flowers, palms and
ferns, flags and banners and bunting.
Tiny electric light bulbs have been
grouped in arches, circles. semi-cir-
cles and squares, and designs of every
conceivable description and shields
and coats-of-arms of the various
states hang in conspicuous places.
The committee on arrangements re-
ports that fully $4,000 people will
gather in the great ball room to do
honor to the newly inaugurated presi-
dent. The chief attraction, of course,
will be the presidential party. Sec
ond will come those prominent in the
affairs of the nation, such as cabinet
officers, members OF the diplomatic
corps and senators and representa-
tives. The third class will include all
not mentioned in the first two.
The Marine band, reinforced by
several other organizations of almost
equal fame. will furnish the music.
AS an additional attraction there will
be mixed chorus of 500 voices that
will sing patriotic songs in greeting
to the new chief executive and the
guests of the evening.
The president will be officially re-
ceived at 9 o'clock, and from then
until midnight he will receive infor-
mally. The day being Saturday in
Difference to the religious scruples of
the American people, 1t has been de-
creed that the Sabbath shall not be
desecrated. Hence all of the fes-
tivities will come to an end promptly
at midnight

DETECTIVES AT WASHINGTON.
VIII Neut-alize the Crooks and Pick
pockets.

Washington, D. c., March S.-De-
tectives have been brought to Wash
ington from all the principal cities of
the United states for the protection of
the tens of thousands of inauguration
visitors.
Many of the visitors here to see
President Roosevelt take the oath of
office are simple minded people from
the rural districts of the countryside
very kind the crooks and pickpockets
of the large cities follow. 1t is well
known that several of the most dan
gerous confidence men of the country
have been attracted to Washington.
Besides these there are the usual as
sortment of hotel thieves, pickpockets
and other varieties of the light-fin
gered fraternity. The detectives from
the cities know these crooks on sight,
so several have been brought from
New York to look out for the New
York crooks, Chicago detectives to
keep an eye on bad men from that
city, and so on. There are more than
100 of these sleuths here.
Whenever a professional crook is
recognized he will be arrested. He
will be put in Jail at once and kept
there until the Inauguration is over.
1t will not be necessary for him to
commit crime before he lands be-
hind the bars. If there are any old
charges on which these professionals,
many of them eX-convicts, can be held
they will be punished to the full ex-
tent.

WHAT CUTICURA
DOES FOR WOMEN

Too much stress cannot be placed
on the great value of Cuticura Soap,
Ointment, and Pills in the antisep-

faces, and of the blood and circulating
fluids, thus afording pure, sweet, and
economical local and constitutional
treatment for weakening alterations,
inAammations, itchings, irritations,
relaxations, displacements, pains, and
irregularities peculiar to females.
Hence the Cuticura remedies have a
wonderful influence in restoring
health, strength, and beauty to weary
women, who have been prematurely
aged and invalided by these distress
ing ailments, as we'll as such sympa-
thetic Affections as anamia, chlorosis,
hysteria, and nervousness.
Women from the very first have
fully appreciated the purity and sweet
ness, the power to afford immediate
relief, the certainty of speedy and
permanent cure, the absolute safety
and great economy which have made
Cuticura the standard humour rem

Washington, D. c., March S.-All
roads lead to Washington and from
present indications the Inauguration
of President Roosevelt tomorrow will
be witnessed by the largest crowd that
ever attended a similar event. Pas
senger trains by the score rolled in
today. and miIitiamen and regulars,
governors and governors staffs, pour
ed through the gates in what seemed
a never-ending stream. The visitors
who wore no gold lace and come
merely to see, arrived by the tens Of
thousands. 1t was a rush for fair,
and it came like tidal wave.
The governors and other distin-
guished guests were met by escorts
and conducted to quarters previously
set apart for their comfort and en-
tertainment. Those of the multitude
who had made no previous arrange
ment for rooms were compelled to
hunt for what they wanted, as the
hotels were crowded to their utmost
capacity, and the late arrivals had to
take-to the boarding houses.
In addition to the troops from Fort
Myer and Washington barracks, the
following troops arrived during the
day: The Fifth Artillery band from
Fort Hamilton, the Second battalion,
Eighth infantry, and band from Fort
Jay, three companies of the Eighth
infantry from Fort Slocum, one COM
pany of the Eighth infantry from
Fort McHenry, one battalion of the
Fifth infantry from Plattsburg bar
racks, one battalion of the Porto Ri
can regiment from San Juan and
Henry barracks, two companies of
coast artillery from the artillery dis
trict Of Maryland, two battalions of
artillery and the Fourth Artillery
band from Fort Monroe. In addition
to these regular troops large forces
of militia and other military or semi
military organizations have arrived
from Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York,
Massachusetts, Maryland, Tennessee
and a number of other states. The
West Point cadets arrived today and
the naval cadets will come over from
Annapolis in the morning in time to
take part in the Inauguration parade.
The feature of tomorrow's parade
which will distinguish 1t from previ-
Gus spectacles of its kind will be the
unusually large representation of the
Southern states. Never before has
the Inauguration of a republican
president been marked by such large

A MATTER OF OPINION.

some days ago We referred 10 the
fact that occasionally complaint was
made by readers that our opinions on
various matters didn't suit them.
Some have objected because we ad.
yocated q change IN The jury law
others have taken exception TO the
attitude Of The paper %fayorlng the
Winters street crossing law Objec-
ton has been expressed because we
have said that we would accept any
kind Of statehood that could be Civ

advocated the enforcement Of the
laws on our statute books. It ia quite
natural that readers who have tho

ACTIVITY.

In the course OF his weekly letter on
financial conditions In America, Hen.
ry Clews says:
General conditions continue very
satisfactory. Bank clearings testify
most emphatically to the activity Of
general business. In the second week
Of March clearings at seven principal
cities Increased over 80 per cent com.
pared with last year, New York show.
ing a gain of 20 per cent, Boston 20
per cent, Philadelphia 80 per cent,
Baltimore 20 per cent and Chicago 80
per cent The gains, It IS noteworthy,
are widely distributed over the entire
country, no section falling behind.
Speculation may have something to do
with the heavy Increase at New York,
but not much, and certainly has not
been an important factor elsewhere.
These figures prove beyond question
that a very heavy volume Of legitimate
business Is being transacted I'm all
parts Of the United states. Thus far
there are few signs of OVERRIDING or
ovorspeculation. and It seems quite
likely that, II the country be favored
with another good harvest, we shall
enjoy another good business year.
