HIGH OFFICIALS
At INAUGURATION
Distinguished Gathering to Be
in Reviewing Stand With
President-elect Wilson.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 26.-Presi-
dent Wilson and Vice President Mar
shall, when they view the marching,
cheering cohorts in the inaugural
parade March will be surrounded
by a distinguished gathering in the
official reviewing stand erected in
front of the White House grounds.
In addition to the members of their
immediate families and their guests
they will be surrounded by members
of the Supreme Court. the diplomatic
corps, the cabinet, senators and rep
resentatives, members of the courts
of the District of Columbia, high Of
fcers of the army, navy and Marine
Corps, the commissioners of the Dis
trict of Columbia, and leading Of
ficials who had the inaugural cero-
monies in charge
The finishing touches are being
placed on the stand from which the
incoming President will review the
procession. The court of honor on
which much care and attention has
been expended, virtually has been
completed, while the capital already
is being buried beneath a wilderness
of flags and bunting. 1.-THE arrange
ments for the illumination are being
pushed and a test of them, it is ex-
pected, will be made Saturday.
Speculation as to the church at
which President Wilson may elect
to worship was revived today when
pamphlet describing historic spots
was issued by the inaugural COM
mittee. 1t was noted therein that
President Wilson. who is a Presby-
terian, had offlciated here before he
had entered political life. at the dedi-
cation Of the statue of John Wither-
spoon located in front of the Pres
byterian Church of the Covenant.
Witherspoon, besides being a signer
of the Declaration of Independence,
was one of the founders of Princeton
University. Whether President VIII
sons distant connection with this
church will lead him to take mem
bership therein is a matter of gem
eral conjecture.

BUSY DAY IN LEGISLATURE
DISPUTED Jobs UP
TO SENATE TODAY
Upper House Will Act ON Gov
ernor's Right TO Make
Appointments.

TRENTON, N. j., Feb. 26.-The
Senate will take action today on
the right of Governor Wilson to
make nominations and appointments
to State offices which do not become
vacant until after he quits as chief
executive of the State. This action
was decided ON in executive session
last night About fifty nominations
of the Governor were confirmed by
the Senate in executive session yes
terday afternoon.
The determination not to act
preciptately led to rumors that many
of the nominations were to be held
up The refusal to act on the NOM
nations last night was largely the
result of the fact that the attorney
generals opinion sent in last week
had not been printed in full and had
not been read by the Senators.
To further put a quietus on the
talk of holding up nominations Presi-
dent Fielder yesterday said that
if the Senate should hold as a legal
proposition that Governor Wilson
could not make nominations in those
cases where the terms began after
he had ceased to be Governor he
President Fielder, would, as Acting
Governor, send to the Senate the
same nominations as had been sent in
by Governor Wilson. Talk with
other Senator's elected the informa-
ton that there was no disposition of
any kind not to confirm Governor
~ -. 4 FC
mere delay of twenty-four hours was
for the purpose of affording an OPP
portunity for a careful reading of the
attorney generals opinion.
There are now only about a dozen
of Governor Wilson to
be confirmed and these include four
names sent to the Senate yesterday.
The nominations sent to the Senate
were those of ]. Frank
Van Noordt to .be a member of the
Passaic Valley Sewerage Commission.
P. " Van Doren, to be a member
Of the Somerset County Tax Board.
DIR. Jacob C. Price, to be secretary
Of the State Board of Health.
Oliver Kelly, of Middlesex County,
to be q member of the State Board
Of Health.
DR., Price is already a member of
The State Board of Health and, being
a former member of the Senate, his
promotion to the position Of secre-
-ary was confirmed at once,
Other nominations before the Sen
ate and not confirmed, include those
IF Senator Low, to be chief of the Blu
eau of Labor and Statistics, and AS
Marshall, of Mercer. to
be riparian commissioner. These
will not be confirmed
until the end of the session in order
hat these two legislators may retain
their seats until the end of the
session.
Action was deferred on the noni-
nations of Joseph Hinchman, as
Judge, and Charleton Read, as prose-
,utor of Norris County. because of
objections by Senator Fftzherbert.
There was a similar delay in the con-
irmation of Howard L. Miller, as a

PRIZE SERMON WAS DONE FOR
Presence Of Policeman Took the At
tention Of the Congregation From
the Words of the Pastor.

On a recent Sunday the pastor of a
New York church preached sermon
which he had hoped would be particu-
larly effective. Shortly after launching
upon his theme he found that the au-
dience, while not creating any real
disturbance. was by no means atten-
tive. All of his hearers kept turning
their heads every little while and
glanciHg furtively toward the rear Of
the church. Finally the pastor cast
penetrating glance of his own into
that vague region. He discerned a
policeman sitting in pew near the
door. Il knew then" he said, when
speaking of the incident afterward
that the prize sermon was done for,
so far as its hold on my congregation
was concerned. The policeman had
their attention until the end of the
service. 1t is a curious fact that no.
where does a policeman create such a
sensation as in church. He may go
into a theater. lecture room or po-
litical meeting and nobody except the
obstreperously inclined pays any at
tention to him; but just let him step
inside a church, and he causes a real
commotion. | don't know why. Ger
tainly nobody expects to be arrested
during the service"

For Nerves.

A case of nerves" is like a bad
habit. easily acquired and hard to
get rid of. Nervousness affects the
digestion. dulls the eyes, giving a
strained look to the muscles of the
face, and. if allowed its course. will
even make the hair thin. So the wo-
man who wants to be beautiful must
keep an eye on the state of her
nerves.
The best cure for nervousness is
rest. Resting is an art known to few
women.
The only way woman may re-
pose and relax the body and nerves
is by actual will power.
Carrots are prescribed by physi-
clans and beauty doctors alike as a
cure for nervous indigestion. You are
told to eat them three times day,
either cooked or raw.
Young onions or solutions are ex-
cellent eaten with plenty of salt; also
lettuce with salt and plenty of olive
oil, but no vinegar and red pepper.
Sleeplessness is the greatest men
ace that tired or overweight nerves
have for beauty and health.
Sleep may be induced by warm
milk; slipped slowly, or, if this is in
effective, by long draughts of COO
water and a cold bandage around the
brow.

London Bus VANISHING.

In view OF the inquiry now in prog
ress in London in connection with the
city's motor traffic, including the ques-
ton of the motor bus. il is of inter
est to note that while in 1903 there
were $500 horse 'busses plying the
streets of the metropolis this number
has now been reduced to 100, and il Is
expected that by the beginning OF 1914
the horse bus will have finally van
ished. Richard Filling, whose we'll
known firm started the famous Till
ing buses in the year OF the great
exhibition with a single one-horse ON
nibus, recently stated that there viii
not be a single omnibus horse seen ii
London by the end of this year Old
horse 'busses are now used as bunga-
lows and cricket pavilions. and though
the average original cost of each was
$500, they are now sold for about SIS
a piece.
