BABY HORRIBLY BURNED
BY Boiling Grease-Skin All Came of

Thought Her Disfigured for Life.
Used cuticura: No Scar Left.

my baby was sitting beside the
fender and we were preparing the
breakfast when the frying-pan full of
boiling grease was upset and it went all
over one side of her face and head.
Some one wiped the scald with
towel, pulling the entire skin off. We
took her to a doctor. He tended her
a week and gave me some stuff to put
on. But it all festered and / thought

Good Newspapers Influence.

The influence of the right kind of a
newspaper must be corrective. Evils
and abuses, some small, some great,
grow up on every hand. The rights OF
individuals and the rights of the pub
lie are constantly being undermine5
through ignorance, and assailed by
graft and greed. The newspaper with
a he:isful policy must ever be vigilant
to warn and ready to fight against
these attacks.-From the Philadelphia

Parade In the Snow.


The paraders in the afternoon had a
hard time of it, but manfully pushed
their way through the snow and slush
Maj. Gen. J. Franklin Bell was the
grand marshal
The military division had the right
of way after the presidents escort.
At it's head were the West Point ca
diets and the midshipmen from the
naval academy at Annapolis. The
cadets of both schools were cheered,
as they always have been cheered at
every inaugural parade in which they
have taken part. Immediately behind
the future officers of army and navy
came the regulars of the military serv-
ice In the line were the $500 men
who had formed the Cuban army Of
pacification.
In the waters of Hampton roads for
ten days the fleet which had made it's
record-breaking journey around the
world had been assembled. The bat
tleships, the cruisers, the destroyers
and the torpedo boats were drawn
upon for "jackies' to give the sea
service an adequate representation In
the inaugural ceremonies. There were
5000 sailors from the Connecticut, the
Illinois and the other ships of Sperry's
fleet in the parade. The marines fol-
lowed the sailors.
National Guardsmen There.
Next came the National Guards
men from various states of the union,
and their excellent marching and evo-
lutions elected enthusiastic applause
In the rear of the military division
came the civic organizations. There
were in line more than 100 clubs and
political associations from all parts Of
the country, nearly all of them wear
ing some unique and distinguishing
uniform.

toric Pennsylvania avenue was ablaZe
with light from end to end. Not only
were all the business houses brilliant
~ Illuminated. but across the street
were stretched numerous electric fes"
toons. The Peace monument, for the
first time since it's erection soon after
the civil war, was put TO the use for
which it was originally intended-that
of fountain-and powerful search
lights were turned on the great vol
ume of water that was thrown into the
air.
On the ellipse south OF the White
House display of aerial fireworks be-
gan at 80 O'Clock, and for hours was
watched by a most delighted multitude.
The display began by the discharge
of 101 aerial guns, the national salute,
and was followed by the lighting Of
ESQ prismatic fires which changed
color a number of times. The illu-
mination was superb and the effect
of the changing tints on the towering
marble shaft of the Washington mon
ument was extremely beautiful. Then
came the fight of $50 rocket bombs
fired from several positions so as to
blend their various colors, and then
in rapid succession the discharge Of a
battery of magnesium balloons fol-
lowed by marvellous "sun cluster
and batteries of fiery cobras, and the
burning of great quantities of ruby
fire, which gave it's red tint to every
object within a radius of many
squares.
National Shield in Bombs.
"The Star Spangled Banner" excited
the admiration of the great throng OF
spectators. 1t was produced by the
electrical discharge Of many large
bombs picturing the national shield in
it's true colors, suspended among the
clouds. One of the great features OF
the display was the wonderful Pillar
of Light" rising 100 feet into the air,
arranged in five tiers and lighting up
the whole southern section of the city.
Nearly the last and the greatest
sensation of the whole exhibition was
set piece: "The Battle in the Sky"
showing a city with it's spires and lofty
buildings, some Of them 100 feet high,
and filling a space on the ground SOC
feet long. An airship is seen passing
over it, followed by others. These turn
and are met by an opposing aerial
