Congress Will Make the Ceremonies
Attending the Inauguration of Presi-

Washington, D. C.-The joint COM

purpose to make the ceremonies at
tending the actual Inauguration Of
President Taft and Vice-President
Sherman as solemn and iignifed as
BELTS so important an event. Joy
and music and the spirit of festivity
will mark the inaugural parade, and
the scenes along the streets will be
as brilliant as ever, but in the Capitol
and on the Inaugural stand erected on
its east front solemnity and dignity
will dominate. The details are al
ready perfected, and every official,
every empoye understands the part
he is to play.
The Senate will complete the work
OF the last session of the Sixtieth
Congress about 1890 a. m. on March
4, and will then take a recess so that
the scenery may be set for the i'm
portant act in the great drama Of the
Republic so soon to take place.
Shortly before noon the Vice-Presi-
dent will call the Senate to order.
The Secretary of the Senate will an
nounce the arrival of the Speaker and
the House of Representatives, and
they will file into the Senate Cham
Der and take the places assigned to
them. Next in order will come the
Supreme Court of the United States,
headed by Chief Justice Fuller, and
then the ambassadors and ministers
plenipotentiary of the foreign nations.
Following the heads of the diplomatic
corps will come the heads of the ex-
ecutive departments, who will take
their places Immediately back of the
seats assigned to the chief figures in
the drama.
Following the Cabinet the Vice.
President-elect will be formally an
nounced, and will enter, accompanied
by his escort, Senator Frye, president
pro tempore of the Senate, and Rep
resentative Young. THE President
elect" will be the next announcement,

blage will rise and remain standing
until the person so announced is
seated. Y

rived, the Vice-President will deliver
his valedictory and will then call to
the rostrum James S. Sherman, to
whom he will administer the oath of
the Vice-President of the United
States, after which he will declare the
Senate adjourned without day. Hav-
ing been sworn, Mr.. Sherman will as
cend the rostrum, and, taking the
gayel, will call the Senate to order
for the new session, and will ask that

1t is becoming apparent to the
farmer that the telephone is not an
expense as he has hitherto believed,
but a saving, perhaps Of a life in i'll
ness, perhaps OF help when food or
fire comes or something else.
The great benefits Of a telephone
to a farming community can hardly
be exaggerated.
1t is one of the greatest time saw
ers ever invented.
Modern business methods would
become antique without its use.
1t enlivens social intercourse and
makes neighbors Of and cements
friendship between families living
miles apart.
A farmer with a phone does not
have to go to the nearest market to
find the price Of various agricultural
products. Neither is It necessary for
him to blindly send his products to
market only to find prices at a low
level.
To the farmers wife the phone is
friend that does not fail. The in
convenience Of marketing and shop
ping is done away with. To her It is
an all-round necessity as well as an
aid to social enlivenment.

New York City. - Patents having
been obtained on it in twenty-four
countries, Hiram Percy Maxim gave
a demonstration and explanation of
his silencing device for rifles before
large number of representatives Of
newspapers and scientific publica-
fions. BY the use of a sandbox tar
get the inventor made a series Of ex-
periments by firing a variety of rifles,
ranging In power from a 20 calibre
up to the new Springfield 80 calibre
military rifle. They were fired both
with and without the "silencer," and
the spectators-or perhaps It might
be better to say auditors--marvelled

is said scientific tests show that nine
ty per cent. Of the noise of explosion
Is eliminated.

Maxim Fits the Muzze OF ANY

Until the Ear No Longer Recognizes Them as Noise.

The tests were made in the offices
of Redding, Greeley & Austin, coun-
sci for Mr.. Maxim, on the eighth floor
of the Potter Building, in Park row,
and 1t was cause for wonder among
those present that the noise made by
the explosion of the rifles without the
"silencer" did not arouse the other
tenants in the building.
The "sllencer" is metal tube
about seven inches long and an inch
and a quarter in diameter, which can
be fastened quickly to the end OF a
rife barrel which has been provided
with a thread for that purpose.
It is declared that the velocity Of
the bullet is not lessened in the least
degree, as the gases have done all
their work on the proiectile before
they reach the ''silencer."

when they have arrived at the front

Taft the oath of office; following
which the new President will deliver
his inaugural address, which is un-

the stand the President will descend
a flight of steps to his carriage and
drive Immediately to the White
House, where he may snatch a brief
luncheon before taking his place in
the reviewing stand erected in front
of the White House grounds, from
which he will view the great parade

Ex-President Roosevelt, on leaving

will drive Immediately to the Union

There will be a slight change this
