WASHINGTON.
i our Ki'RUlar Correspondent.
Washington, March 5th, 1S97.
The inauguration of the million
aire's President was pulled off in a
manner gorgeous enough to be in
keeping with the cost of electing him,
which is said to have exceeded $16,.
000,000. Everything was conducted
on the most lavish scale, from the
personal escort from Cleveland, Ohio,
with their black horses, for which
$10,000, was spent, to the ten thou
sand electric lights of variegated
colors used in illuminating the costly
decorations for the inaugural ball in
the big court of the Tension building.
It was a millionaire's event from start
to finish, and the talk of the million
aire's agent, otherwise known as
King Hanna, indicates that it is to be
a millionaire's administration, notwith
standing the platitudes of McKinley's
inaugural address. Never before
were there so many private railway
cars in Washington at one time and
never before was so much money
spent at and upon an inauguration.
It is very evident that the million
aire's expect McKinley's administra
tion to bring them prosperity, what
ever it may do for the poor. When
they invest their money, they always
expect, and they usually get, return
in dollars and cents.
Hon. Wm. J. Bryan, who spent two
days in Washington this week, divid
ed his time between conferences with
pleading democrats and social inter
course with his extensive circle of per
sonal friends, but declined to remain
for the inauguration of his successful
rival, said to those who proffered him
their support for hat he was not
thinking so much about the next
Presidential campaign as about the
condition of the people, between now
and then. He also expressed his
sincere regret that the promised
McKinley Prosperity " had not
come to the country. It is a remark
able fact about Mr. Bryan that his
hold upon Democrats has increased
since his defeat, instead of diminish
ing, as is usual in the case of defeated
candidates of all parties.
The silver men are not surprised at
the failure of the Fifty fourth Con
gress to admit Arizona, New Mexico
and Oklahoma as states, and they
expect no betiet from the Fifty-fifth
Congress as the edict has gone forth
from the Republican bosses that none
of the territories shall be admitted,
because it is known that they would
all send silver senators But the sil
ver men expect to control the House
that will be elected in November
1898, and as they will certainly retain
control of the Senate, to have the
territories all admitted to statehood
before the opening of the campaign
of 1900.
Ex-Postmaster General Wilson left
the fraud charges again at John
Wedderburn & Co., and the National
Recorder, their paper, which were
filled wilh the Post-office Department
a few days ago by fifty-five of Wash
ington's leading patent lawyers, to be
acted upon by his successor. The
head of the firm of Wedderburn &
Co., is the man who started the Ex
aminer Claims Bureau and the Press
Claims Co., both of which, during
their existence, had extensive dealings
with newspaper publishers and figured
in suits in Court.
Senator Teller thus stated his opin
ion of the relations of Mr. McKinley
toward the monetary conference bill,
which passed with the House amend
ments : " If the new President has
my sympathy for an international
agreement it must be judged from his
votes in the House, and not from
uiything he has said since his nona
aation, for, excepting the prefurictory
acceptance of the platform, his every
utterance has indicated that he has
one over to the gold standard, and
ill remain there."
Senator Tillman was the central
igure in the most dramatic incident
jf the closing week of Congress. He
harged in impassioned tones that
c two corporations which have a
nonopoly of making armor plate for
he Government have agents in the
Senate and when Senator Hawley, of
Jonn., protested against the charge,
e repeated it, and intimated very
plainly that Hawley was one of the
agents. There was a time when such
a- charge would have resulted in
(rouble outside the Senate chamber,
but Senators no longer fight with any
other weapons than their tongues.
Mr. Cleveland vetoed the Immigra
tion Bill, on the ground that it was a
departure from our national policy
hat would impose hardships upon
deserving people. The House passed
is over the veto, but the Senate did
jot try.
It is noteworthy that the harshest
criticisms of the manifest weakness,
both from a business and political
point of view, of the men in McKin
ey's Cabinet, have come from those
vho are classed as Republican leaders.
Of course this'criticisin is as yet only
privately expressed, but it indicates
that nnless McKinley walks the chalk
.me he will soon find himself confront
ed by formidable Republican opposi
tion. Mr. McKinley'. Utile bluiT abo.it

ments for a month or so, intended to
keep some of the office seekers away
from ashington, did not work worm

swarms and are making things lively
for King Hanna as well as for Mr.
McKinlev. The only prosperity they
see ahead lies in the public trough.

Cooking Small Fish.
Mrs. Rorer Tell How to Best
for the Table.
Prepare Them
In the March Ladies' Heme Jour
itil Mrs. S. T. Rorer, in telling how
to fry the small fish, quotes the old
saying : "Small fish should swim twice
once in water, and once in oil."
"Smelts, trout, whitebait, perch and
catfish," she says, "are, perhaps, more
palatable fried than broiled. Small
fish may be stripped that is, the in
testines may be pushed out under the
gills, so that the fish may retain their
shape. Wash and dry, then dust with
salt and pepper, dip in egg and roll in
breadcrumbs, or they may be rolled
in cornmeal. Have ready a good
sized pan with sufficient oil to cover.
Put the fish in a frying basket, then
into the oil at a temperature of 3600
Fahrenheit, and cook for about min
utes. Drain on brown paper and
Where a small quantity of fat is used,
and the fish cooked on one side and
then turned and cooked on the other,
the method is really not frying it is
sauteing ; the result is more indigesti
ble than real frying. Catfish are fre
quently fried in this way without be
ing dipped in crumbs. Sunfish may
be rolled in flour or cornmeal and
carefully fried in dripping, oil or lard.
A mixture of dripping and lard makes
a better frying material than lard
alone. A pure vegetable oil is freer
from danger of disease germs than
either. Never use butter for frying
fish ; it boils at a low temperature,
consequently burns quickly ; the buty
ric acid softens the fibre of the fish,
destroys the flavor, and causes it to
become soft as soon as taken from
the pan."
The Heart Must Not be Trifled
with. Where there are symptoms of
heart weakness, there should be Dr.
Agnew's Cure for the Heart, it's a
magical remedy, gives relief in thirty
minutes, and there thousands who
testify that it cures permanently. Mrs.
W. T. Rundle, of Dundalk., Ont.,
says : "I was for years unable to at
tend to my household duties. I used
Dr. Agnew's Cure for the Heart, the
result was wonderful, the pain left me
immediately after the first dose, and a
few bottles cured."
Power in a Pound of Ooal.
A curious and interesting calcula
tion has been made by Professor
Rogers of Washington on the " dyna
mic" power of coal. According to
his deductions, a pound of good steam
coal has within it dynamic power
equivalent to the work of one man for
a period of 10 hours. Three tons of
similar coal represent a man's Jhbor
for a period of several years. One
square mile of a seam of coal having
a depth of only 4 feet represent power
aqual to that expended by 1,000,000
men ten hours each day for 20 years.
Such calculations as these made by
Mr. Rogers mav serve to remind us
how very wasteful our methods of
burning fuels must be, in spite of all
that has been done in the fuel saving
line by the inventors and economists.

A Point to Eemembtr.
If you wish to purify your blood you
should take a medicine which cures
blood diseases. The record of cures
by Hood's Sarsaparilla proves that this
is the best medicine for the blood ever
produced. Hood's Sarsaparilla cures
the most stubborn cases and it is the
medicine for you to take if your blood
is impure.

The Duty of Fathers to Portray Him In
Hit True Light.
In the March Ladies Ikmt Jour
nal Edward W. Bok writes of the
" fast " man, and the duties of fathers
to their daughters in placing him
where he belongs and warning them
against him. Mr. Bok believes that
if it is said of a man that " he has
seen the world," in other words,
is " fast," thtre is instantly a singular
glamour about him in the eves of
young girls girls as good and pure
as were ever created. There is a
scent of danger about such a man,
and there are girls for whom danger,
even of this sort, has a singular fasci
nation. " The girls know that these
rrjen are bad. But so long as they
respect me and treat me as a lady
where's the harm ? ' savs the young
woman when she is called to account
for her company.
" As a matter of fact, the exatt
things which a man does to eam the
reputation of being 4 fast ' are neither
known nor dreamed of by the girls for
whom such a reputation has this
glamour. The trouble lies in the fact
that our girls are brought up under a
system which hesitates to call a spade
by its right name. We are afraid of
offending or of shocking certain
fancied sensibilities, whereas, in real
ity, we make the greater mistake of
making diamonds out of spades and
giving our girls a wrong idea of actual
things. " It is all very well
to be tender in our regard for the
feelings of our girls, but there is a
limit, a point at which discretion be
comes a crime. And that point has
been reached when girls are allowed
to know and associate with such men
all unconscious of the danger. When
every mother or father, or person with
whom the duty may rest, classes the
fast' man where he belongs, and por
trays him in his true light, it will be
better for our girls. It is high time
that some of them should know that
the man who leads anything but a
pure -life buys, in every instance, that
experience at a distinct sacrifice to
himself and at a tremendous cost to
the girl who marries him."

Increasing Towing Power.
On some of the French water
courses a system of chain haulage has
been adopted to assist steam tugs in
towing barges up the river against the
stream. Briefly, the chain, which is
fastened at each end, lies at the bot
tom of the river. It passes' between
guides at the stern or bow of the tug,
over rollers or guides and round nearly
the whole of the circumference of the
haulage pulley or drum, which is driv
en by gearing from the enzines.
Leaving this pulley the chain passes
over a similar series of rollers between
breaking pulleys and is then permitted
to fall again into the river.
With a view to increase the sneed
of the tug, a system of magnetic ad
hesion has been devised by M. Bovet
and has recently been tested on the
Seine. It consists essentially in com
bining in the hauling pulley a magnet,
the upper sides of the groove forming
powerful pole pieces, which are short
circuited when the chain engages in
the groove. By this means the pull
on the chain and therefore the speed
of the boat ae increased. One of
the towingpompanies on the Seine is
said to haVe adopted this system.
