Monroe, who was also an aspi-
rant for the office, to wait.
All of the presidents had
followed the custom of wearing
so far as possible, clothes made
in this country. John Adams
on the eventful day appeared
in light drab. Jefferson's garb
was in the eyes of the feder-
lists ostentatiously simple. But
it was left to James Madison to
so dress as to be described as
"a walking argument in favor
of American WOOL" At his first
inauguration in 1909 he wore a
coat made on the farm of Col.
Humphreys. The rest of his
costume was made of homspun
from the farm of Chancellor
Livingston. The wool all came
from American sheep. The
ceremony Of taking the oath
took place in the house of re-
representatives., which was crow
ded. Dolly Madison was a
charming hostess at the inaug-
uration ball, the first since the
time of Washington.
James Monroe having heed
ed the advice of the father of
his party, received his reward
in 1917. The oath was admin
istered to him on a platform
under the unfinished portico of
the capitol. This place had
been chosen to end the wrangle
over seats. At his second in
auguration the weather was so
bad the exercises had to be
held inside.
ADAMS AND JACKSON.
John Quincy Adams, chosen
by the house of representatives
to be president because no car :
didate had received a majority
of the electoral votes, was a
disappointed man. He wanted
the presidency as the gift of
the people. In his diary he
wrote: "The year has been the
most m3mentous of those that
have passed over my head, in
asmuch as it has witnessed nv
elevation, at the age of So, to
the chief magistracy of my
country, to the summit of laud.

INSTALLING WASHINGTON.
Washington left Mount Yer
non for New York City,
the temporary capital of the
young republic, bearing with
him a deep sense of his new
responsibilities. The people
converted his journey into a
triumphal march. There were
no railways in those days, the
roads were heavy, the way was
long, and horses cannot travel
as swiftly as steam cars, ard
though the first Wednesday ct
March, which happened to be
on the 4th of the month, had
been appointed for the day of
the Inauguration, it was April
IL, 1889, before it took place.
On that day George Wash.
ington went in procession te

in the senate chamber arc

LOVED AND UNLOVED
To fill the place which Wash
ington held in the hearts of the
people was not possible for any
man. John Adams succeeded
him as president. Even during
the hours Of his Inauguration,
in 1895, Adams was made to
feel the distance which the
masses had established between
himself and his predecessor.
Washington was present. The
attention instead of being ceE-
tered on the new president was
fixed on the great man wi o
had said farewell to public S r.
vice. Adams felt this keenly.
Writing to his wife, he spoke
of the streaming eyes, express
sing a hope that the tears were
shed in grief at the loss of a
beloved rather than in sorrow
over the advent of an unbelov-
ed. He was almost as much
hurt at thus being second in
the great hour of his life as
was his son, John Quincy
Adams, who had his triumph
marred by the the thought
that though he had won the
presidency, he had not won it
through the suffrages of a ma
jority of the people. Father
and son both tasted bitter in
their cup of success. Each
wished to enjoy a second term,
which was denied. Each was
succeeded by a man bitterly
opposed to him the father by
Jefferson, the son by Jackson.
Neither accompanied, as has
been the custom, the president
elect to the capitol to see him
indicted into office. The first
Adams and Jefferson quarreled
over the twelfth hour appoint
ments made by the retiring
president. Jackson attributed
to the son, John Quincy Adams
the scandalous statements
made about Rachel Jackson
during the campaign of 1928
and did not call on Adams, who
left the White House March 3.
There was no inauguration
ball when John Adams became
president. His wife was not
not present at the ceremony
because of a death in the fami.
lily. The was administered by
Chief Justice Oliver Ellsworth.
HOW JEFFERSON CAME IN
Thomas Jefferson was the
first president to be Inaugural
ted in Washington city. Ira
dition asserts that he rode on
horseback to the capitol and
tied his horse to a nearby fence
while he took the oath. A bet
ter authenticated story has it
that he went on foot and was
escorted by a company of mill.
tia artillary. One of Adams
distasteful appointments was
that of Chirf Justice Marshall,
who administered the oath. Be.
sides these two, Jefferson and
Marshall, so strongly opposed
to each other, was the new vice
president, Aaron Burr. who
had come within one vote of
receiving the presidency in the
vote taken in the house of rep.
resentatives. If Jefferson felt
chagrin at the moment, his
compensation during the sue.
cessful eight years of his presi.
dency was ample. He could
probably have had the honor OF
a third term, but declined
though he practically named
ibis successor, Madison, advising

LINCOLNs TRYING DAYS.
When Abraham Lincoln came
to Washington the country was
on the verge of civil war. Spec.
ial precautions were necessary.
The regular army was called
upon for duty of more than an
ornamental nature. Sharp
shooters were stationed on the
roofs and in windows of houses
overlooking the line of march.
General Scott had in the city
two batteries, a few companies
of regulars 653 men, exclu-
sive Of some marines-and the
corps of picked Washington
volunteers. President Bucha-
nan left the White House in an
open carriage, escorted by a
company of sappers and miners.
At Wizards Hotel the presi-
dent-elect entered the carriage
and the two passed through
Pennsylvania avenue to the
capitol. General Scott with
his regulars marched thanking
the movement in parallel
Streets" His two batteries
controlled the plateau extend
ing before the east front of the
capitol. Lincoln was introduce
ed by Senator Baker of Oregon
and Senator Douglas held his
silk hat while he made his adj
dress. Al its close Chief JUS
tics fancy administered the
oath of Office.
In his second Inauguration
there was shown a working
model of the Monitor with it's
turre5s revolving and its guns
firing at intervals. The Color
ed Typographical society was
represented by a printing press
on a wheeled platform. It was

VAN BUREN's COURTESY.

March 4, 1884, these two,
jackson and Van Buren,, rode
together from the White House
to the capitol in a phaeton made
from Oak timbers taken from
the old frigate Constitution, a
gift from New York democrats

to the retiring president. AS
John Adams had been second
in the eyes of the multitude at
his own Inauguration because
of the esteem felt fer Washing
ton, so Van Buren, was second
to Jackson. But Van Buren, { c.
!cepted the situation more
gracefully than had Adams.
He returned from the Inaugural
ton, at which Chief Justice
fancy administered the oath,
to his own residence, insisting
that Jackson should remain in
the White House until his de-
parture for Tennessee.
When General William ii.
Harrison was inaugurated in
184l his admirers presented a
carriage to him, but he rode to
the capitol on a white horse.
For the first time a great dis
play of marching clubs which
had played an important part
in the campaign was made.
Log cabins, barrels of hard
cider, loom in active opera
tion-these were some of the
floats in the procession. At
the capitol General Harrison,
who was 68, older than any
man who had preceded him in
the office, stood an hour without
a hat or heavy coat. He ce
tracted a cold and died within
a month-the first president to
die in office. He was succeeded
by Vice President John Ty Ter,
who, like the Adamses, declined
to take part in the inauguration
of his successor, General James
K. Polk, in 1916.
THE FIRST DARK HORSE.
James K. Polk was the first
dark horse to reach the presi-
dency. The popular cry at his
Inauguration, as during the
campaign, was, "Who is James
K. Pclkw The exceptional
thing recorded of his Inaugural

BARNUM AND

Final arrangements have Just been
completed for the visit to this city Oh
Monday, Nov. Is, Of the BaTnum and
Bailey Greatest Show on Earth. Add
ed glory attaches to this circus this
season because Of the wonderful i'm
preston It has made since its opening
early in April.
One of the reasons of the added in
terest is an absolutely new equipment
throughout and the most expensive it
has ever had. Then the performance
has been increased in strength, a
great company Of European perform
ers new to America has been en-
gagged, and better still, the street pa
rade is again given at the customary
time in the forenoon and on 8 scale
more elaborate than ever
For several generations the Barnum
and Bailey circus has expressed TO the
minds Of all the superlatiye degree of
everything that pertains to the amuse-
ment business. II has moved steadily
onward and upward year by year and
within sight Of 1t Though an Amer
lean institution, it Is OF the world, and
OK all times. II Is known and has
been enjoyed by millions in every
land on earth. crowned heads, royalty,
pOtentates, the middle classes and
the peasantry, and its magnitude and
bTtlliancy have never ceased to be a
source Of wonder
The organization of this year num-
bers 1,500 people, 700 horses and
thousands of other animals. The
canvas covers fourteen acres of
ground, and the main tent seats $4,000
people. To haul the vast equipment
from town to town requires five long
trains of double-length cars that cover
nearly two miles Of track.
The circus performance is intro |
duced by q new and more than usual |
ly brilliant spectacle. the various acts
that follow are given in three rings, |
on two stages. in the dome of the |
tent, and on the immense hippodrome |
track. and for 8 climax the program |
ends with the sensational act of Des-
perado, who leaps from the dome of |
the tent, landing on his chest on q |
chute three feet above the ground. A |
second later and the man is standing |
on his feet bowling to the audience. |
As a thriller nothing has ever ap-
preached this act.
For a second thriller there is the |
act of Jupiter, a magnificent horse, |
which, ridden by a beautiful girl, goes
up In balloon and deScends amid a !
