SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 2s, 1887

According to astrology this last day of the month is unimportant in planetary direction. The sway encourages interest in churches anc those who head congregations. Again it is forecast that young men will turn to the ministry anc will lead the people from high ec- clesiastical positions. Again it is lprognosticated that a great relig- ious organization will establish in the United States a seat of gov ernment which will gain great pow CT among the people. Warning is given that liberal ag- encies will seek to undermine the churches of every creed. Therefore no prejudice should be harbored within Protestant and Roman Ca- tholic ranks for they will have cause to unite on many public issues.

 Good news of some sort may be expected before tomorrow, but ex- cept in the United States there may be threatening forces that are of sinister power.
 Girls now may prepare for a springtime of many ardent swains and numerous amusements. Gayety will be general in this country while in far places chaos is immi- nent.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of fair fortunes. There may be a tenden- cy to spend rapidly, but there will be increased income.

DOGDOM'S ELITE.
NOW BARK Sims
IN BEST HOTELS
Only Big Ones Barred
By D. C. HosteIries
BY ELIZABETH oLDFIELD

This is a story about dogs-and
We don't mean your feet.
1t includes only the elite Of dog.
dom-those who live in luxurious
hotels and eat steaks from silver
platers. That last is no idle re-
mark, as you will see before this
tale is told.
A recent canvas Of Washing
tons best hostelries disclosed some
interesting and amusing facts
about their canine guests. Not
that hotels object to such guests.
AS long as a dog is well-behaved
and not too big, he is welcome to
stay as long as his master or mis-
treSs.
NOT A BARK IN A RIPPLE
But there are times when the
dog situation can be embarrassing.
AS. for instance. when wire-hair'
ed fox terrier pup decided to 60
fishing and dived into the gold
fish pond. BY the time his mis-
tress, the management and the
help disSuaded him, everybody
was wet, including the poor fish.
And once waiter nearly
tainted with shock when he was
told to feed the Sirloin steak he
had delivered on a silver platter
to a couple of poocheS-one a
cross-breed at that. It took 81
worth of food to satisfy their ap-
petites, but their mistress paid 1t
without batting an eye.
Room clerks. too, have their
problems. Consider the case Of
the clerk who graciously assured a
prospective guest and his wife
that his hotel welcomed dogs. But
he didn't mean three Great Danes
with lolling tongues and friendly
tails. Things were pretty hot for
a while, with the guests insisting
the Great Danes share their room,
but the clerk remained firm.
TWIN DOG BASSINETS
Now, what would you do If a
single lady hired two bedrooms,
one with twin beds, and insisted
her dogs have the latter all to
themselves? And the beds to
sleep in?
Here was a situation that called
for tact. It ended with the lady
compromising on two bassinets, al.
Though she insisted-and gothic
separate bedrooms.
But when it comes to real dog
service, listen to this. From Flor
ida came wire requesting a Ger
tar hotel to send a bellboy to
meet the train stopping for 20
minutes ON its way to Maine. The
sender wanted her dog to get an
airing. would the hotel see to
it? The hotel Woodland did
and the lady cheerfully paid the
bill.
Perhaps one Of the few objec.
lions hotels have to dogs is when
their owners insist upon snug

City Makes Out Well

Waterbury will play an increasingly
important part in the doings of the 1887
Legislature by virtue Of committee as
signments announced yesterday in Hart
ford. With the democrats dominating
the Senate committees and the rcpubli-
cans those of the House, Waterbury's
four legislators, all democratic, managed
TO secure advantageous committee seats
and will sit in on the very vital reforms
and rcvisiOns that much Of necessity be
considered by the General Assembly this
year. y.
The much-discussed fight over joint
committees failed to materialiZe as pre-
dicted in the Democrat news columns
last week. Yesterday was day OF quiet
so far as lnter-party rumpuses are con-
cerned. Democrats were gathered In hud-
dies all over the Capitol, but there was no
furry OF excitement noticeable when the
presiding officers Of both houses made
their selections public. 1t Is to be hoped
that this state OF affairs will continue, al
though we do not expect democrats TO
accept the situation sitting down.
Both Senators LaWlor and Culhane
are presiding over committees before
which will come up important legislation
this term. And furthermore they are
members OF equally important commit
tees which will be busily occupied with
the legislative doings throughout the en-
tire session In the House Representa-
tive John d. Thoms returns TO the very
important judiciary committee on which
he has served SO we'll previously. Repre-
sentative Daniel J. Mahaney Is on the
equally important appropriations COM

Around Table

The sit-down strike becomes sit-up
conference around big table. This is
sensible and hopeful situation. The strike
has to be settled sooner or later anyway.
1t has continued now long enough to
define the issues and show the relative
strength and merits of the two sides.
Also to show the dangers to the public
welfare of industry itself
The nation as whole is pretty we'll
agreed now as to the relative rights OF
capital and labor, and also as to the para
mount rights of the general public. Capt.
tai is organized, and labor has as good a
right to organize as dollars-a right both
moral and legal. But the public which
includes both groups, and is superior to
both, cannot stand by idly while they
carry their arguments about organiza-
ton, representation, wages. hours and
working conditions to a point that pros
trates reviving industry and dumps
vast, new and unnecessary relief problem
into the lap of the government.
The employers may have to concede a
good deal in a real settlement. Half OF
what labor asks would seem to them a
good deal. Any rational arrangement will
seem, to both sides, less than they should
have. Time is the best judge of that. A
long deadlock and another business col
lapse would be worse for both employers
and employees than anything foreseen by
them now.

Drew Pearson and Robert S. Allen Of
fered information in their Washington
Merry Go-Round column last Saturday
on the number of widows of the former
United States presidents still living.
There are still six of the former
first ladies" alive. One of them has since
remarked. To this writer these facts are
as intriguing as the number of ex-presi-
dents who remain alive long years after
their administrations are over. Right now
we have only one ex-president alive-Her-
bert Hoover. But there have been many
times in the nations history when there
were two, three, and even four former
chiefs OF state active after leaving the
White House. However, if you check the
list pretty closely you'll find that long
evity in our presidents is missing.
Whether it proved to be the cares or worry

years the late william Howard Taft was
the only eX-president who seemed to

A Thought for Today
The Center of Attraction

Washington will be at its best tomor-
row. Washington, OF course, is always at
its best, but never more so than when an
important function that combines both
the government and social sides Is taking
place. The thousands OF American peo-
pie who have descended on the nations
capital in the last few days will be aug
mented by millions who through their
daily newspapers and the radio. service
will be centering their eyes and ears on
what will transpire there tomorrow. The
inauguration of President Franklin d.
Roosevelt for his second term bids fair to
eclipse any previous inaugural held in
Washington.
Whether or not it is the convincing VIC
tory that was his last November we don't
know. Oftentimes the second inaugural
of an elected official is not as important
as his first But the public eye is focused
on Roosevelt and he will be the central
figure in that great spectacle which is to
be unfolded tomorrow There are several
outstanding facts which we are apt to
overlook. Primary among them is that it
will be the first time since George Wash
ington was inaugurated that the official
date was not March 4. There have been
presidents inaugurated on other dates to
to which he had been elected.
Washington was sworn in on April 80
3 In 1899; John Adams on. March 4, 1887.
Then down through long line it con-
tinued; every president presenting him
self to be sworn in duly on the fourth OF
March as ordained by the Constitution.
There were exceptions, such as John Ty-
Jer, tenth president, who was sworn in on
April 4, due to the death of William Henry
Harrison, who had been sworn in just one
month to the day before he died. Millard
Fillmore was sworn in on July 10, sue
ceeding Zachary Taylor, Andrew Johnson
started his term on April Is when Abra-
ham Lincoln died Chester A. Arthur
went into office on Sept. 20, succeeding
James A. Garfield.
The late Theodore Roosevelt also be-
gan his first service as President on Sep
TENDER IA, 1901, driving miles over
Adirondack Mountain roads to be sworn
In when word was carried to him that
William H. Mckinley had Succumbed TO
an assaSsin's bullet. Calvin Coolidge was
the last president to 90 into office on
date other than March 4, being sworn in
August in the Coolidge homestead in
the hills Of Vermont by his own father.
On February 6, 1888, sufficient states
had ratified the so-callcd Norris lame
duck amendment which changed the
terms of President, vice-president, and
national legislators, but it did not be-
come effective Immediately. Thus to
President Roosevelt goes the honor of be-
ing indicted into office under the revised
constitutional rule governing presiden-
tial terms. This may not have anything
to do with the influx of distinguished Wis
itors in Washington. We prefer to think
that it is the presidents popularity
throughout the nation and the general
belief today that the hopes of the nation
are centered in the activities and conduct

hostility. This came 10 q head
q few days ago with the discov-
cry of an unpublished speech
that Morgan made December
30. 1886, before the American
Economics Association.
The address was carefully
guarded from the press. No copies
were given out and requests for
1t were refused at Morgan's Office.
Morgan mentioned no names In
his speech, but the numerous
dcfoRatory references In II were
taken by his iva colleagues and
Norris to be clearly aimed at
them. Some OF the caustic express
sions used by Morgan were: "em-
Uttered and prejudiced PERSONS"
"the socially irresponsible Napo-
leonic complex which dominates
some so-caIled reformers," para
sites" and impractical enthu-
siasts."
Morgan also took some slaps at
the holding company act, rural
identification, public ownership
and the ability OF the government
10 manage great projects.
These statements were viewed
by the White House group as d.
rect criticism OF the presidents
power policy. The president said
nothing publicly. but Norris came
out with a hot blast.
Plain Talk
Henry Wallace took no chance
OF there being slip-up In his
radio speech the other day, IN
which. he turned a candid and
critical spotlight ON rural resettle-
ment, inherited from ex-Brain
Truster Rex TugwelI.
Nobody knew what Wallace was
going TO say until two hours be-
fore he went on the air. Contrary
TO his usual practice, the agricul-
tural chief wrote the entire
speech himself, consulted none Of
his editorial aides.
The radio hour was one o'clock.
At eleven In the morning. M. e.
