Twenty years ago an investigation by the
Department of Labor showed that 828,716 d.
vorces had been granted in the United States
between 1867 and 1886, and that divorces
were increasing two and onehalf times as
fast as population The recent census for
1ss7-190s brings to light 945,625 divorces, and
demonstrates that the movement constantly
gains in velocity. At present one marriage in

IRRIGATION IN oLDEN MEXICO.
BY President Diaz,

- With view of benefting properties that
!;
M are susceptible of irrigation, the National
Ml Geographical Exploration Company made a
WI | survey Of the Santiagullo lake, in the valley
i III | Of the Guatimape river, OF which the waters
| II | can be diverted to the rich Nazas region, and
II | made reconnoisances OF the Tunal, Conchos
IN | and other rivers looking to the use Of their
- waters for the encouragement Of agriculture
by irrigation Increased interest is constantly being
manifested in the utilization Of water courses subject to
federal jurisdiction stimulated during the last six
months by the ample resources which the important
financial institution known the Bank for Loans to
Irrigation Works and for the encouragement OF Agr
culture has been able to furnish to our agrcuturists
and by assigned out Of the treasury
the promotion of irrigation works wherever they are
possible
As consequence of these new facilities concessions
granted such that to the San Diego River
Company the Sautena Company and the Chapala Com
pany and others with subsidies, which 1t is hoped will
accelerate the progress agriculture and make it
the basis Of our national wealth. In the first half OF
the fiscal LAP applications were received
for the utilization different of federal water
courses.

were held indoors, but with Jackson the
outdoor feature became permanent.
When "Old Hickory" went In the boys
from the back counties all came TO en-
liven the occasion and walked all over
the White House furniture to show
their joy. Remembering these devaS-
tating experiences, the second Jackson
installation was more subdued. Van
Buren's induction into Office was more
generally attended than any that went
before. The nation was growing, and
the railroad was coming into vogue.
In some aspects the Inauguration of
William Henry Harrison was the most
spectacular ever seen in Washington.
Log cabin floats were conspicuous in
the parade. Although siXty-eight years
old and despite the fact that the
weather was worse than the usual
March 4 brand, the old warrior insist
ed ON riding white charger ON long
and circuitous route. Nor would he
put on an overcoat. The result was a
cold that ended his life in little more
than month. There was nothing es
pecially notable in the inauSurals OF
Polk, Taylor, Pierce and Buchanan.
The first installation of Abraham
Lincoln took place under the impend-
ing shadow of civil war Though
there was little outward sign of the

BY JAMES A. EDGERTON.

Ut Is not every man that gets q
chance to be inaugurated presi-
dent of the United States or even
to see the thing pulled off by
somebody else, so it is not surprising
that when one does receive call to
go through this greatest of Invitations
he and his friends and the onlookers
want run for their money and try to
make the occasion worth while. The
Taft Inauguration will be all that and
more. In fact, it win Guido anything
in its line, making the induction of all
past presidents seem like those near
performances that fail of reaching the
mark. There will be more troops. more
ceremony and more solemnity than
ever before. The only features that
will be cut short are music and ora
tory. The brass band industry will be
discouraged. and Taft will make his
speech brief The country will not
lack for those cynics who will hail
both shortcomings as improvements.
No Inauguration would be complete
without the quadrennial squabble be-
tween the supreme court and the dip
lomatic corps as TO which shall take
precedence. Now that this has put in
appearance everything is as 1t should
be, and the ball can go merrily on.

ence of the military and the precau-
tions TO protect Lincoln's life. yet ev-
erybody felt the tension and feared
the outcome The second Inaugural
ton of the martyr president came I'M
der happier auspices. The war was
ending. The noteworthy feature was
Mr.. LincoIn's address. 1t was one Of
the shortest and altogether the great

Prodigious Cheering For Grant.
With the induction into office of
lnony as ii is known in our day prop
erly came into vogue. The change
from the old way did not consist in
the forms Of the ceremony itself,
which remained substantially as be-
fore, but in the number of marching
| organiZa lions, the military display, the
great crowds, the enthusiasm and the
payment of fabulous sums for posi-
tons of vantage along Pennsylvania
avenue. The function was married by
the usual weather, which was rainy
and disagreeable, and by President
johnson, who did the John Adams act
by absenting himself The cheering
for Grant was prodigious. For him
peace indeed had "her victories no
less renowned than war" On the sec
ond Inauguration of the old hero the
mercury was but degrees above zero
in the morning and hung below freez-
ing all day. 1t drove sightseers in
doors and chilled the marching pa
raiders to the bone. Many deaths oc-
Cured from colds contracted on that
day. A movement was started In
consequence to change the Inaugural
ton to more civilized and sensible
season, but nothing came of it.
Rutherford B. Hayes was sworn In
twice. His supporters evidently want
ed to be sure that he was fastened to
his seat. The precaution was for a
double reason. One was that the 4th
occurred on Sunday, and the second
was the fear that the supporters Of
Mr.. Tilden might try to make trouble
at the last moment. In consequence
Mr. Hayes was sworn in secretly on
Saturday, March 8, and again publicly
on Monday, March 3. Owing to the
bitterness of the contest there was
great partisan enthusiasm for the new
president. For once the weather was

chrysanthemums selected to escort the
new president ought to assure wait
ing world that this Inauguration is
going to be pulled off right.
Start Of Inauguration Habit
The Inauguration habit has now got
Ito be an old thing with Us and has
never lacked for those willing to play
the star role. 1t started with General
G.. Washington 100 years ago, who
was supposed TO get on the job on the
4th of March, but showed his proven
bal wisdom by deferring 1t until he
could have decent weather on April 80.
Washington was sworn in the first
time in New York in the region that is
now Wall street. 1t Is startling how
respectable localities may degenerate.
Wall street has made some presidents
since then, If political wisacres are to
be credited, but has never seen any OF
these actually take the oath of Office.
The second time the Father of His
Country passed through the inaugural
ordeal was In Philadelphia, which also
saw that of John Adams Adams aft
eTWdEu Oiiiy
second fiddle at his own dance, as the
people made Washington the hero OF
the occasion. Any one can understand
the reason who has ever taken Adams
true size. -Four years later, when JEFF
ferson came into power, Adams dis
courteously ran away, which made
him seem smaller than ever.
The man that get up the story about
Thomas Jefferson riding to the capitol
and hitch1ng his horse to the palings
belonged to the sshorter and uglier fam
lily. Mature takers are not the only
sort. There are also history takers. 1t
was an Englishman who wrote the
sicrse episode of Jefferson's Inaugural
tfon, and he said he saw 1t with his
own eyes. although It was afterward
proved that he was nowhere near
Washington at the time Jefferson
really marched to the capitol OH foot
with number of his friends. Ills SEC

incident. as were those of Madison.

The Chess Automaton.

Baron Kempelen of Hungary began
to astonish the civilized world of Flu.
rope about 1860 with his chess auto
maton. This was apparently Il figure
controlled by mechanical devices and
which was able. Notwithstanding the
fact that apparently no intelligence
was concerned in its movements and
decisions. generally 70 beat its human
antagonists. The cabinet connected
with the automatOn appeared entirely
too small to contain q hidden operator
And yet it did conceal Il man who was
an expert chess player. He was a
Polish patriot who had lost both of his
legs-perhaps in the recent war over
Poland. This man. Woronsky by
name. was an expert player With
him hidden in the cabinet and yet
really on the spot the rest was easy.
