Houses Rent Readily

ALAMEDA, July 23.-Wfth the re-
turn of Alamedans from summer va
cations the number of houses to rent
fn the city is gradually decreasing
Owing to the fact that there have been
many houses, mostly old style dwell

essary to lower rents in order to Sc
cure tenants. There is no difficulty
experienced in finding tenants for
modern houses, according to the
agents. Attractive new homes are
often leased and rented before COM

poets activity in the construction line
to continue until wet weather.

Scarcely a mont, later Vice Presi.

The Inauguration of President Polk
was, 10 an extent, a personal disnp'
pointment to him, as the weather was
execrabJe. Polk WINS fond of display,
although his tastes wer not specially

therefore. was somewhat heterogene-

Pl:rce and Buchanan were inaug,,r-
ate'l In no distinctive fashion, although
the ceremonies in'both instances were
attended with great demonstrations.
When Lincoln came into the presl.
dency the countr:" throughout was
trembling with apprehension. For the
first time in the history Of the Unit.
ed States, regular troops had been or.
dered to Washington, not for display.
but for protection. Although Lincoln
himself expressed no fear. extraordl.

and held his hat. Following the for.
nal inaugural ceremony, Lincoln ten
