The Republic Militant.
The dominant idea expressed in the in-
augural ceremonies, according toa most
capable aud entertaining writer in the New
York World, was militarism. ‘‘An over-
whelming demonstration of the personal
power of WILLIAM McKINLEY, of his love
for the military idea, the Republic mili-
tant,’’ he declares ‘‘fairly sums up this day
in Washington.’’” The military spirit was
everywhere. ‘‘Whichever way one look-
ed,” continued the writer in question,
‘‘the view ended in tossing plumes and the
even lines of caps or helmets.”” There
were soldiers on every hand, ‘‘soldiers—
resplendent uniforms, eager faces, machine
like movements, the methodical, unthink-
ing, clockwork tramp, tramp, tramp.”
To this complexion have we come at last.
The pride in our statesmanship no longer
appeals to the hearts of the people. The
achievement in mechanism, agriculture
and commerce is no longer an aspiration to
our minds. It is the tiiumph of force, the
pomp and circumstances of war that wins
the favor of the people and the President.
In the procession the soldiers alone chal-
lenged his admiration. To the officers in
gold lace and silver spangles he bowed
graciously. Like Napoleon who arose in
the crisis of France, like Caeser who re-
sponded to the imperial ery of Rome, the
legions challenged his admiration and their
march and movements was music to his
ears and joy to his heart.
Yet we are entering upon a new century
with a pretense of love for the Republic.
We are beginning a new administration
with professions of respect for the traditions
of our country. But such pretenses are
fraudulent, such professions hollow and
false. It is the military upon which the
faith of our President, and it is to be fear-
ed our people, is bestowed. The pageantry
of the inauguration cost vastly in money
and infinitely more in the sacrifice of prin-
ciples. But probably we have acquired
what we want. Maybe it is, in fact, the
Republic militant that the people yearn
for, but with it will come inevitably and
inexorably the tramp, tramp, tramp of mil-
itarism.
Mitten 1 Takes Oath of Office.
Simultaneously Theodore Roosevelt, of New York,
Becomes Vice President of the United Siates.
Rainy Day in Washington. Mr. McKinley Raised
His Voice in a Resounding Phrase for "Free Cuba”
and there was a Mighty Shout of Approval—The
President Smiled and Lifted His Hat Repeatedly in
Acknowledgement of the Cheering Crowd,
WASHINGTON, March 4.—William Me-
Kinley, of Ohio, to-day was inducted into
the presidential ‘office, being the eighth in
the illustrious line of Presidents of the
United States thus honored by the Ameri-
can people with a second and consecutive
term. Simultaneously, Theodore Roose:
velt, of New York, became Vice President
of the United States.
For the first time in a quarter of a cen-
tury, the President rode from the White
House to the capitol without a successor
beside him in his carriage. Grant was the
last of the Presidents of the United States,
up to this time, to occupy a similar posi-
tion. President McKinley had for his com-
panions in the carriage members of the
committee specially chosen by Congress to
take charge of the inauguration, headed by
Senator Mark Hanna, himself a national
figure.
It was just 1 o’clock when the official
party came through the main doorway of
the capitol. The presidential party did
not appear until all had assembled and
everything was in readiness to administer
the oath.
By this time the hail bad turned into a
steady drizzle of rain, making the officials
and the viewers shift uneasily under the
downpour.
MOMENTARY LULL AND SILENCE.
The special guests had been ushered to
their seats. There was a momentary lull
and awelike silence fell upon the great con-
course, as it strained to catch the first
limps of the President.
As President McKinley ste out upon
the portico in full view 4 phy. pd

ec and re: il the _huge stand
fairly trembled ¥ with aE sound.
The President bowed his acknowledgments
of the greeting. His face wore a look of
calm dignity and contentment. ‘He pute
his hat as he stepped into the open and his
overcoat was buttoned high up to keep off
the beating drops. He moved across the
portico and then pausing at the top of the
high marble stairs, again waived his sal-
utations to the continued hurrahs.
With him was Chief Justice Fuller, pre-
pared to administer the oath.
Through the lines of Senators and offi-
cials, all standing to do him honor, the
President proceeded to the central pavil-
ion, going forward to the railing and facing
the vast assemblage at close range, again
and again bowing his acknowledgment to
the tremendous chorus from 40,000 throats.
Then he turned and shook hands with Vice
President Roosevelt, while another great
cheer went up as the two central figures,
McKinley and Roosevelt, stood out above
the crowd. :
DEEP HUSH FELL UPON ASSEMBLAGE.
Now, again, a deep hush fell upon the
assemblage as the President and Chief Jus-
tice advanced to the centre pavilion. The
President removed his hat and then he
raised his right hand. In the intense still-
ness, faintly ' could be! heard the solemn
words of the Chief Justice, and then the
measured res, of the President, taking
the oath to maintain inviolate the ‘con-
stitution and laws of the United States.
He spoke in a strong voice, easily heard by
those near the front of the stand. His face
looked he: as the oath was pro-

more distinct until he was heard by all
those on the stands and most of those in the
front ranks of the crowds. He kept his
hat off while he spoke. Occasionally he
used gestures to emphasize some salient
point of his address.
As the President spoke the pent-up
clonds gave out their full force and the
pelting rain came down in sheets, throw-
ing a water shower over the large mul-
titude. Under his pavilion the President
was well protected and there was no falter-
ing in the address as the downpour con-
tinued.
As he raised his voice in a resounding
phrase for ‘‘free Cuba’’ there was a mighty
shout of approval and frequently he paused
to allow some well turned sentence to re-
ceive its tribute of popular approval.
ROOSEVELT GRASPED M’KINLEY’S HAND.
As the President closed his address, the
Vice President and many others grasped
his hand in congratulation. Then he re-
turned to the capitol, proceeding to the
senate wing, where a luncheon had been
spread in the committee room of the com-
mittee on military affairs. Here the Presi-
dent was joined by the Vice President, the
inaugural committee, the officers of the
army and navy. and a number of Senators
and other invited guests. Half an hour
was spent in taking refreshments, and then
the President was escorted back to his
carriage to join in the parade to the White
House. :
THE GREAT PARADE.
Soon after 2 o’clock, the booming of can-
non and the blare of bugles announced that
the President was ready to proceed to the
White House and the time had come for
the marching hosts to move. Column af-
ter column of the uniformed rank swung
into position. The band from Governors
Island broke out in inspiring strains and
the long lines took animation and motion.
At the head rode Major General Francis V.
Greene, grand marshal, astride a superb
charger and surrounded by his brilliant ar-
ray of mounted aides and staff officers, and
Lieutenant General Miles in command of
the army. Back of them rode Major Gen-
eral Brooke, chief marshal, with line on
line of staff officers. Heading the rank and
file of the military division came Major
Genera Ludlow and another group of offi-
cers. The rain kept pelting down and the
great coats of the officers were turned up
around their ears. Leading the first bri-
gade marched the gray coated cadets from
West Point, stepping in military precision
and with well kept lines and after them the
naval cadets from Annapolis vieing with
the West Pointers in perfect formation and
soldierly bearing.
The President and his party went direct
from the room of the senate committee on
military affairs to carriages which were
waiting and to the archway to the east side
of the senate wing, his escort accompany-
ing him as the Vice President’s escort did
that officer. A line of admirers lined the
passageway through the senate corridors
and hoth Mr. McKinley and, Roosevelt
were kept constantly busy acknowledging
the salutions which met them at every step.
The President with swinging step, glane-
ing and nodding to the right and left, but
never stopping until he reached his carriage.
Senators Hanna and Jones, of Arkansas.
and Representative Cannon, entered the
carriage with him. The Vice President
was accompanied on his re-trip by Senator
Spooner and Representatives Dalzell and
McRae.
It was 2:20 when they took their place
in the procession which had straightened
out, started fairly for the White House.
The rain ceased falling as the presidential
party turned into Pennsylvania avenue at
the peace monument.
The procession from the capitol was
practically in the same order as the trip
from the White House, except that the
contingent of civil war veterans who acted
as the gnard of honor. in the first. parade,
were omitted in the return. The weather
which bad been exceedingly bad for about
two hours, improved slightly soon after the
parade started, but rain drizzled intermit-
tingly during the afternoon. President
McKinley followed the Ohio troop in his
open carriage with a cloud of steam rising
from the glossy coats of the four horses.
Behind him in the next carriage came Vice
President Roosevelt: ~ Both he and the
President were greeted. ish vogiferous en-
thusiasm all along the line of parade and
the miserable weather did not stop it.
The portion of the parade which had not
taken part in the escorting march to the
capitol came next, headed by Governor
Stone, of Pennsylvania, mounted on a mag-
nificent white charger. At his left rode
Brigadier Thomas Stewart, his Adjutant
General. He was in civilian clothes and
wore a silk hat. The Governor was in-
stantly recognized by the Pennsylvanians,
and he was obliged at short intervals to
bow his acknowledgements right and left
in answer to the admiring cheers of his fel-
low citizens. Governor Stone was marshal
of this, the second division of the first
grand military division, so he was separat-
ed by a short interval from the troops of
his own State, the First regiment of infan-
try of Delaware. coming in between. The
Peach Tree State’s contingent was succeed-
ed by the Pennsylvania Nation Guard, rep-
resented by fourteen regiments, numbering
8,000 men in all. There was nothing fanci-
ful about the equipment of these troops.
The detail that did catch ‘the military eye,
however, was the fact that these men car- |
ried the old time Springfield rifle, dating
back twenty years in pattern. Though
presenting an appearance of uniformity to
the casual observer that made it somewhat
difficult to maintain interest in the hours
of march of these troops, there was some-
thing about them that gave great comfort
to the critical old soldier. Each regiment
had its own band, and very good bands
they were, and they enlivened tue proces-
sion with patriotic airs and patriotic music.

The third brigade was headed by Briga:
dier General Metcalf as marshal. Gover-
nor ‘Benton McMillan, of Tennessee, for
B. H. Warner, of Washington, was Mar-
shal of the civic grand division, with an
escort composed of the American club. of
Pittsburg, an organization well known in
Washington. The second brigade included
some unique uniforms. notably the Roose-
velt Marching club. of Indianapolis, and
the Syracuse escort, both clad in khaki.
The second grand division was composed
of two brigades, also made up of Republi-
can club nnder the lead of Marshal D. E.
Cochran and headed by the Frelinghuysen
lancers of Newark, N. J. The 8t., Paul
contingent was made up of the Roosevelt
Republican elub. They were clad in
khaki and were favorably received.
The third and last division of the civic
division which was headed by Major Gen-
eral 0. O. Howard, as Marshal was the
last in line. This division, save the Union
League of Maryland, was composed of
marching clnbs from the colleges and uni-
versities of the country. Some of them
were uniformed prettily and they gave a
tasteful finish to this portion of the parade.
There were about sixteen separate educa-
tional institutions represented.
INAUGURAL BALL MONDAY NIGHT.
The culminating event of the inaugural
festivities was the inaugural ball, held to-
night in the vast auditorium of the pen-
sion office, with the President and Mrs.
McKinley leading in the grand march, and
with men and woman distinguished in
every walk of life touching elbows, dan-
cing and mingling with the plain Ameri-
can citizen.
As a spectacular event, it was unparal-
leled in the history of inaugural balls, in
the sumptuousness of arrangement, in the
bewildering splendor of decorations, in the
marvelous electrical effects and in the
countless throngs taking part in the spec-
tacle.
When the doors of the great structure
were thrown open at 8 o’clock an eager
crowd besieged every entrance and lines of
carriages stretched into the surrounding
streets and avenues. Platoons of police
officers, mounted and unmounted, guarded
the outer entrances, keeping back the rush
of curious spectators and bringing order
out of the tangle of carriages.
Through the long arched entrances hung
with bunting and vines, passed the merry,
pleasure-seeking throng, the women in
luxurious gowns with the flash of jewels in
their hair and at their throats.
Soon the vast interior of the building be-
gan to take on life and animation. The
presidential party was not to arrive until
9:30 o'clock and the early comers busied
themselves in. viewing the exquisite
beauties of the scene.
For Breach of Promise.
Duke of Manchester in a Pretty Pickle if Reports are
True.
LiveErpoorn, March 6.—On his arrival
here to-day on the steamship Oceanic from
New York, the Duke of Manchester, who,
with-his bride, was a passenger thereon,
was served with a writ for an alleged breach
of promise at the instance of Miss Portia
Knight, of London.
LoNDON, March 7.—The Manchester
sensation promises to rival the Westmin-
ister scandal. Although the Duke of Man-
chester asserts that the writ has not been
served upon him for the suit for alleged
breach of piomise, this is quite immaterial,
as the writ has been issued and proceed-
ings have commenced. - This entirely -un-
expected sequel to one of the most interest-
ing marriages between American heiresses
and representatives of the British peerage,
had its inception shortly after the Duke of
Manchester so suddenly made Miss Zim-
merman a duchess. Miss Knight's allega-
tions are not yet obtainable, but it is evi-
dent that she is in earnest and the suit was
brought without any idea of gaining pub-
licity. She is about the same age as the
Duke of Manchester, possibly a trifle older.
Their acquaintance began, a reporter of the
Associated Press is informed, when Miss
Knight was living in Stirmin’s mansions
say the acquaintance opened to a stage
where they quarreled frequently, and that
the visits continued only until six months
ago, when the duke no longer called there
and Miss Knight took a flat elsewhere. She
is now living in London among friends of
“position and ‘means;
Miss Knigh ight is, a pronounced. pom nette,
with an ol ive ‘complexion.

GENERAL BEAVER AND JOHN M. DALE
IN CuBA.—The advent in Cuba of Gen.
James A. Beaver and John M. Dale Esq.,
the distinguished Bellefonte gentlemen who
departed for the ‘‘Pearl of the Autilles’’
several weeks ago has caused more than a
passing flurry in governmental circles there.
While the WATCHMAN was under the
impression that their trip was almost en-
tirely one of pleasure the Cubans have
looked upon their arrival as of considerable
significance. In commenting upon it La
Lucha, one of the leading dailies of Havana,
on the morning of Feb. ie had this to
say :
“Gen. James A. Baaver the distinguished
soldier of the American Civil war, twice
elected Governor of the great State of Penn-
sylvania, and at present Judge of the Su-
perior court, with his former law partner
John M. Dale Esq., is now at Havana, en-
joying a short leave of absence.
General Beaver is McKinley’s intimate
friend, and he had the honor to be one of
the commissioners appointed by the Presi-
dent for the investigation of the great scandal
caused by General Miles’ declaration that
during the Spanish-American war the troops
were given rations of embalmed beef.
: These distinguished gentlemen e joyed the
Carnival yesterday, witnessing the great
demonstration of the school children, visiting
the palace of the Commandant of Marine, the
residence of Don Cosmo Blanco Herrera, the
palace of the Governor General, the Union
club, ete., being cordially entertained wher-
ever they went.
They also visited the balls at the “Centro
Asturiano’ and at Tacon Theatre.
The Havana Post in its last issue says that
General Beaver is here on an important
public mission.
La Lucha joins in greetings to and wel-
comes those who have. been so cordially
welcomed by Cubans and Americans.
Whe hearty, greeting {to General Beaver and
r. Dx
Of course La Lucha’s surmise might be
true enongh, but the majority of the friends
of the gentlemen in this place are of: the
opinion that their visit to Cuba is, as ‘we
said before, one of pleasure and a large
portion of it is being measured out by Col.
W. R. Teller, who is located in Havana
now and has entree to every place of inter-
est there as well as a steam launch to haul
his friends around over the barbor and an
automobile to whirl through the parks and
plazas of the Cuban capitol.

Irv WALKER DROPS DEAD. — One of
the most startling deaths that have occurred
in this community was that of Elijah
Ervin Walker, who fell forward on his
face in front of the Brant house about 1
o’clock Monday afternoon and in all proba-
bility was dead when picked up.
Mr. Walker was a resident of Marsh
Creek, Boggs Twp., where he was engaged
in farming and lumbering. He was well
known in Bellefonte; being a frequent
visitor to the place. On the morning of
the fated day he arrived in town and was
in his usual health, apparently. He was
in company with John Iddings and Frank
Reese most of the time. Between 12and 1
o'clock the trio went to the Brant house
cafe and each had a sandwich but drank
nothing. After they had finished their
lunch Walker and Iddings started to go
out to attend to some business, when Reese
called them back to join him in a drink
before they departed. They returned, but
took only one, then started out. Both
men appeared to be all right and nothing
unusual was observed in the appearance of
either one of them. They left the cafe and
had just reached the top of the steps lead-
ing up to the pavement when, without a
word, Walker fell forward on his face.
Maurice Yeager, proprietor of the Brant,
was standing in the office above at the
time and, seeing the man fall, ran to his
assistance. Iddings re-assured him by stat-
ing that it was only a little trouble that
Walker was in the habit of having and
that if he could be laid down somewhere
he would come arcund all right in an hour
or so. Accordingly he was carried into a
back room and made as comfortable as
possible. Abe Armstrong, the bar keeper,
went back to look after him from time to
time, but finally came to the conclusion
that something was wrong with the man
and sent for Mr. Yeager. The latter went
at once and made an examination which
was anything but satisfactory to him so
he hurried for a physician.
Dr. Hayes responded to the call and
found that the man was beyond reviving,
thongh the strongest restoratives known
were resorted to.
He gave it as his opinion that death had
been due to heart disease and had occurred
when Mr. Walker fell. ;
His body was taken to the Naginey un-
dertaking rooms where it was prepared for
burial and taken to the late home of the
deceased on Tuesday afternoon.
Elijah Irvin Walker was born in Boggs
township 56 years ago and was a son of
Adam Walker, deceased. His home ‘was
at Walker’s Settlement, on Marsh Creek,
where he has been engaged in the lamber
business. He was married twice, his first
wife being Amanda Aikley, whodied about
thirteen years ago. His second wife, Mrs.
Mary Walker, survives him. B;
wife he leaves the following children :
Harry and Clarence, of Guyer; Stella, wife
of Harry Miller, of Yarnell; Wilber, Ches-
ter and Charles, of Romola. To his sec-
ond wife he leaves two children Ina and
Max, at home:
The following brothers and a sister also
survive : Andrew, of Washington, D. C.;

——Miss Elizabeth Coble, formerly” a
resident of Bellefonte, died at her home in
Pittsburg the latter part of lass mouth,
with ‘a complication of troubles with
which she had suffered more or less for
several years. When in ‘Bellefonte Miss
Coble will be remembered as having been
a seamstress, a woman of rare accomplish-
ments and universally liked. She left
here to become matron of the Phi Gamma
Delta fraternity house at State Coll ege,
where her gracious manner and womanly
tact soon won the love and devotion of
all the boys who were in the hou se.
Later she went to Pittsburg to take
charge of the home of a wealthy
iron maker whose wife had died, leav-
ing him with two small boys. Her
care of his children was such that when he
died, a few yeas later, his executors em-
ployed her at a handsome salary to con-
tinue in the care of the orphans and it was
thus surrounded with every luxury that
money could buy and comforted by the
solicitous care of her foster boys that she
passed away.

LICENSES GRANTED.—The license court
for Centre county convened on Tuesday
morning to hear the cases of the forty-six
‘| applicants for privileges of various kinds
in the liquor traffic and the session con-
cluded without developing anything to the
discredit of the men already in the husi-
ness.
During the proceedings Judge Love took
occasion to express a general admonition
to the dealers to close their doors promptly
at 10 o’clock. The Judge said that he had
heard of a number of violations of this
order of long standing, but as they had not
come to him in an official way in open
court he could not take cognizance of them.
At the request of Messrs, Zeigler, of
Philipsburg, and Gray, of Bellefonte, the
legal representatives of a number of the
applicants, the Court more explicitly de-
fined the requirements in this matter by
stating that the front doors to all business
places must he closed at 10 o’clock, but
that with the taverns any occupants of
“back rooms’’ at the time of the closing
hour may be. permitted to stay and guests
of hotels, arriving after that hour, may be
served thus privately, but in no case should
anyone else be admitted to such rooms, nor
those already there. be permitted to. re-
main, if their intention appears tobe to
carouse.
Of the forty-six applicants all were
| granted but nine, as follows :
