Ball and Parade Given.
Though the thousands of citizens
who had come here from all over the
country were denied the privilege of
witnessing the solemn ceremonies at
tending the administ ering of the oath
to the new president, the more spec
tacular features of the day were not
omitted. All who braved the storm
saw the great inaugural parade car
ried out substantially as 1t had been
planned; and in the evening the in

works were given with their brilliancy
undimmed by the adverse weather
conditions.
The ball. given in the Pension build
ing, was magnificent, as it always is.
1t was attended by a tremendous
throng. In the center of the great hall
which occupies the lower floor of the
structure, a space was roped off. The
visitors stood outside the open place
waiting the arrival of President and
Mrs. Taft and Vice-President and Mrs
Sherman. They came finally and
stayed on the main floor for some
time, and then retired for the presi-
dents box in the gallery above, where
they watched the proceedings below.
Unusual success attended the efforts
of the committee that had charge of
decorating the ballroom, and 1t was
generally admitted that such wonder
fully beautiful effects had rarely, If
ever, before been accomplished.
A vaulted canopy of bunting reduced
the great height of the hall by some
40 feet. The color scheme of this can
opy was a deep cream tint and this
was also carried out behind the two
stored colonnades which encircled the
court, forming a background to the
elaborate floral decorations.
Grand Fireworks Display.
For the benefit of the throngs who could
not attend the ball, there was an illu-
mination and fireworks display such as
Washington never before saw. His

The Correction of the Oath.

1t became known Saturday that
Chief Justice Fuller in pronouncing at
the Inauguration the oath which Mr..
Taft was to take, made a mistake. The
chief justice said:
81 do solemnly swear that / will
faithfully execute the constitution of
the United States" etc.
Senator Knox was standing near Mr..
Taft as the oath was being admins
tered. He noticed the mistake and
smilingly whispered to Mr.. Taft:
Don't do it,"
There was pause of a few Sec
onrs and then Mr.. Taft with appraised
hands spoke the oath in its correct
form: 81 do solemnly swear that l will
faithfully execute the duties of the Of
flee of president Of the United States
and will to the best Of ability preserve,
protect and defend the constitution of
the United States "

Eiqht Hours Work.

Senator Anhut has introduced a bill
providing that employees of street cleo
trio and interurban lines shall not
work more than eight hours day.
The bill Is designed to prevent the
overworking of conductors and motor
men, which sometimes causes them
to become careless or neglectful in
their duties. This bill, together with
the one introduced by Representative
Austin, to abolish running boards or
side entrances to street cars, are re-
garded as the most important of this
kind of legislation proposed up to this
time; the chief object of both being
the protection of life.

After the Loan Sharks.

The loan sharks and installment
houses have been under fire during
the past week. Representative Ogg
introduced a bill which provided that
when an installment house replevins
or takes back goods which they have
sold on installment they will have to
repay IS per cent of the amount they
have already collected on the pur-
chase price. It is stated that the in
stallment houses will make a vigor-
Gus protest against this bill, and a
hot fight is anticipated. The chattel
mortgage and salary loan members
appeared to be satisfied with a bill
allowing them to collect certain fees
and 2 per cent per month on loans
on furniture, salaries, etc. Members
of the Detroit delegation endeavored
to have this rate reduced to 1 per cent
per month and then ~ per cent, but
the house had been lined up in such
a way that the bill was passed in
spite Of them. 1t was then discovered
that the bill contained a joker, which
exempted the salary loan men from
its provisions, and the bill has been
recalled.

gan State Fair association have asked
for $4,000 for the same period, but
the feeling in the house seems to
prevail that the state can hardly af-
ford to foster more than one agricul-
tural society, and the fact that the
State Fair association at Detroit is
investing thousands of dollars and Of
fering liberal premiums and in every
way fostering agriculture and stock
breeding, increases the sentiment that
what assistance the state gives should
be centered where its benefit will be
most telling, and that the state cannot
afford to encourage the rivalry be-
tween the Grand Rapids fair and the
big show at Detroit.

School Superintendence.

The salary of superintendent of pub
= instruction was on Thursday fin
ally fixed at $4,000, but the rural in
spector was cut off, and the county
superintendent will have things their
own way. The salary of the deputy,
which had been fixed at $4,000 by the
bill, was reduced to $4,000, which is
the present salary. Mr.. Keeler, the
deputy, is a very competent man and
left a place at Mt. Pleasant Normal
school, where he was getting $1,000
a year, to take his present position.
It is claimed that he will resign and
give his attention to something more
profitable. The economy practiced in
pruning this bill was the work of the

Lansing, Mich, March s, $780,


While the past week has not result
ed in turning out the amount of work
anticipated, much of Importance has
been accomplished. In the senate
the Dickinson primary law, which en-
tirely reorganizes the primary election
law of the state, was thrashed out in
sessions which lasted nearly As hours,
finally passing with the much contest
ed point of electing United States SEN
ators by direct vote as part OF the
bill. The house has just begun con-
sidering the Colby primary election
law when word was brought that the
senate has passed the Dickinson bill
1t was then decided to suspend all
work on the Colby bin until the SEN
ate bill COULD be considered so that
unnecessary labor on the subject
might be avoided; the bill will, there
fore, come up in the house this week.

bill providing for two probate judges
in counties with population exceed

only to Wayne county, where the city
of Detroit is located, and is considered
neat way to evade the new consti-

.oric Pennsylvania avenue was ablaze

toric Pennsylvania avenue was ablaze
with light from end to end. Not only
were all the business houses brilliant
ly Illuminated, but across the street
were stretched numerous electric fes-
toons. The Peace monument, for the
first time since its erection soon after
the civil war, was put to the use for
which 1t was originally intended-that
of a 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 1880 o'clock and for hours was
watched by most delighted multitude.
The display began by the discharge
of 101 aerial guns, the national salute.
and was followed by the lighting OF
$50 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 flight of $50 rocket bombs
fired from several positions so as to
blend their various colors, and then
in rapid succession the discharge of
battery of magnesium balloons fol-
lowed by a marvellous sun cluster"
and batteries of fiery cobras, and the
burning of great quantities Of ruby
fire, which gave its red tint to every
object within radius of many
squares.
National Shield In Bombs.
1.-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
its 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
a set piece: "The Battle in the Sky"
showing city with it's spires and lofty
buildings, some of them 100 feet high,
and filling a space on the ground 500
feet long. An airship is seen passing
over it, followed by others. These turn

fleet, when a battle ensues. One air
