"WEDNESDAY, March 4, 1879, the day
OF the inauguration, was heralded
BY blasts Of cannon. Streams Of people
turned out In the Springlike weather.
Zine coaches, wagons and dirt carts
with their passengers touched each
other as they rumbled down Pennsyl-
Vania avenue, where crowds hurried to-
ward the Capitol. At that time there
were 10000 Inhabitants in, the city.
Some accounts say 10000 people crowd
ed the east front OF the Capitol, In adj
dition to those who lined the streets.
II that Is true, all Washington must
have joined with the visitors In the
days demonstration.
BY noon the porticos, steps and large
yard, then inclosed, east Of the Capitol
were thronged. The setting for the oc-
casion, the central east portico, which
was used for the first time by o Presi-
dent In delivering his inaugural ad-
dress, was considered unusually grand
with Its new columns. Just outside OF
the door OF the Capitol which led from
the rotunda there was q small table
covered with red cloth. When the por.:
tai was opened procession composed
OF John Marshall ana judges Of the Su.
prerne Court preceded the white-haired
jackson.
when he bowed to the well d.esce4
multitude before him q deafening shout
went up. Many tried In vain to hear
his inaugural address, which was read
IN . low voice. The aged John Mar
shall, who did not approve many Of the
policies OF the Presidents then ad-
ministered the oath Of ONCE which
made Andrew jackson the seventh Pres
ident OF the United States.
After the President had kissed the
Bible and laid it down, his admirers
swarnied about him. They rushed past
oficials In their clauor to grasp his
hand Finally, after many difaculties,
he made his way to one Of the Capitol
gates, where he mounted his horse and
rode TO the White House, escorted by
9 few survivors Of the Revolutionary
War and BY some Of the officers who
had served Under his command at the
battle. Of New Orleans.
AS he had requested that there be no
festivities, out Of respect to his wife's
memory, he was not prepared for what
followed. Throngs followed him UP the

house, ard naohs STRAINED into the

supreme control of things here at that
time became quite indignant and
brought the matter to the attention OF
the President without delay.

"A matter even more serious than
this and which caused the dismissal Of
L'Enfant about February ~, 1872, was
his failure to have engraved plans in
readiness for the advertised sale Of lots
which were scheduled TO begin on
October II, 1871. L'EnfantB reason for
refusing to turn over the plans to the
Commissioners to be engraved was his
belief that II published the plan would
be made use OF by spectators to pur-

then that Washington dismissed Mai.

was secured by the Government after
the lattter's death and now is safely
stored In the Congressional Library.

with visitors until we left at 10 o'clock
at night"
WHEN the party arrived at Wheeling
w there was another large gather.
ing to honor the distinguished traveller.
, There the party of the President-elect
took coaches to travel over the old
Cumberland road and on to Wash
ington.
That old pike between Wheeling and
Cumberland, built by the Federal Gov
eminent at cost Of seven million, was
the pride Of the Nation as far as roads
went. 1t was the highway over which
the products of the South and the
then Southwest were brought East. II
was the only path by which settlers
were already moving from the Eastern
States to the Western lands known
today as Ohio, Tennessee, Indiana, H.
inois Michigan, Kentucky and Miss ouri.
Droves Of cattle from beyond the
Allegheny Mountains were drive- -
Eastern markets over 1t, and PR
Of covered wagons were takir
and their household goods } then
new homes in the West over the great
wide trail. Coach drivers do thriv-
ing business conveying passengers East
and West, and those who ought such
men as Henry Clay, Thomas Benton
and Davy Crockett to Congress took
pride In the "class" Of their patrons.
Tradition relates that James Reside,
who owned several wagons and coaches
on the road, had won q new coach
Of the Troy patent by q bet on Jackson's
election. It was the flrst Of its kind
on the old pike.
As Reside was DESTROYS Of having
the new President ride in It as It's
first passenger, he had It waiting at
Wheeling. According TO the custom
with presidential coaches, he had had
the name Of the President, whom, he
had hoped, would ride In It, painted
In bright, bold colors on the sides. Jack
son, however, felt that he could not
vary his rule Of refusing gifts, 30 he
rode In another coach, In which he
paid his passage Nevertheless, as Mrs.
DoneiDUfl and the children occupied
the Troy coach, Reside had the satis-
faction Of serving the President In
directly.

they gave her against the Indians. II
was at this home that young Jackson
met Mrs. Donelson's daughter Rachel,
whom he later married.
During the next i've years the young
lawyer earned his share of the prosperity
which came 70 his state with the new
settlers. BY the time he was - years

r T was Just a 100 years ago that
Washington broke out in spon-
taneous enthusiasm over the hero
Of New Orleans. "durrah for jack
sonl" became the cry of the streets
from the time "Old Hickory" drove into
Washington on February IL, 1929, until
after the ceremonies of Inauguration
day.
In order to be sure of reaching the
Capital and looking over the political
field by the day that Adams term was
to expire and his own begin, jackson
had started from his home. near Nash
willie, Tenn, January II.
Perhaps the account OF Cne generals
trip to Washington as President-elect
emphasizes more than any other mar
rative the fact that he lived q century
ago. Then the population of the United
States was less than $4,000, 900. At that
time the horse and boat provided the
only means OF transportation: When
this Southerner left his beautiful home,
the Hermitage, in Tennessee, for the
first lap Of his journey his coach took
him to the Ohio River. where he and
his party boarded fat boat for Wheel
ing, w. Va.
Though he was enthusiastic over hav-
ing won the vote for the presidency,
his heart was sad when he left his
home, where he and his beloved wife.
Rachel, had spent 50 many happy years
together and where she had died less
than q month before. He felt his sor-
row all the more because 1t had fol.
lowed his election after D campaign OF
much personal bitterness.
As Jackson's devotion to the memory
Of his wife engendereo an a6ectionate
regard for all her relatives, he chose
her nephew, Andrew Donelson, for his
secretary. The latter's wife, Emily
Donelson, was invited to be mistress OF
the White House, 50 she and her two
young children accompanied the gen.
erai to washington.

BURDEN IMPOSED
BY EDUCATION

The educated person faces life witt
certain handicaps and burdens which
are the price of the knowledge he has
acquired. Along with the great value
Snau It brings, education brings in
70 life a great burden, and with the
burden, sorrow.
Even though a man has a large
s'ore of general knowledge there is
danger for him in the present day
tendency toward specialization. A
genuinely educated man must keep
MS mind on the whole human scene.
The insistence upon highly speciali-
zed training is turning upon the mod
ern American world educated men
and women with small minds.
There is a pitfall into which the
man falls who knows Just enough
10 lind flaw in everything, the tenn
ptatlon to retire into ones mind and
watch the world go by. As though
any knowledge is ultimate without
action! 1t is nothing without the
power to beget ideas. to beget action.
The habit of dealing in universal
concepts rather than realities. is \
handicap, too, in that it makes its
addiets forget that man faces con-
ditions, not theories
And finally there is disillusion-
ment. Unless they make their minds
the the aecomplices of their pre-
Judices,' the learned, even though
they would, cannot share the sooth-
ing convictions of the untutored. for
they look on history realizing that
man, though he had made material
gains, remained always Just the same.
The genuinely educated man rises
above "the burdens that education

UNEMPLOYMENT
FEAR BASEL ESS

Any great wave of unemployment
such as we hear about occasionally
Is impossible because the modern
era has created commensurate EN-.
pioyment in the luxury group of in
dustries. The automobile business
alone has absorbed 100000 workmen
from the basic industries in a. period
OF five years, Russell G. Creviston
states IN an article in the Chicago
Manufacturer.
The number of school teachers have
increased so per cent; the number Of
college students has doubled, and the
age at which a man goes to work now
is one and a half to two years later
than It was a few years ago. He is
busy acquiring better education
during that period.
The beauty parlor and the barber
shop are doing unprecedented bus
mess these days. There is another
example of more employment in the
luxury classification.
Instead of a wave of unemnlov-
Hent, men are rapidly being absorbed
IN newly created industries and in
the extension of the older ones.
There will be no loss of earning pow
erin fact, it will be increased as
this maligned age progresses. |
