- RE SR SE INSTALLED IN OFFICE, Benjamin Harrison and Levi P. Morton Inaugurated. A Great Parade and Imposing Cere- monies in the Rain, —————— PRESIDENT BENJAMIN HARRISON, Benjamin Harrison and Levi P. Morton have been installed at Washington as Presi, dent and Vice-President respectively, The following is a detailed account of the impos. | ing ceremonies connected with their inaugu- | | keepers, ration: THE DECORATIONS, The gayest features of the inauguration scenes were the profuse decorations on every pillar and houss front on the line of march, Every stand and available space were cov- ered with the Stars and Stripes. Pennsyl- vania avenne, from the Capitol to the White House, presented the appearance of two huge banks of coiored ribbon with bows and fringes fluttering What little of the Naval Monument at the foot of Capital Hill that could ba seen was coverad, with a log cabin of the days of “40 built about it as a ticket office for the seat speculators. From every cornice between this point and the projecting corner of the Treasury building. fifteen blocks away, the various colors and neariy every facade were coverad with bunting or made gay with streamers. From the great hotels and dry goods palaces to the beer saloons and tobacco shops, there was the same display. The smaller the house the more flags and gayer the streamers. The huge Treasury building showed to better advantage in its bright bunting than any along Pennsylvania avenue Every pillar was entwined with the Stars and Stripes. The decorations on the State, War and Navy buildings were very handsome. The north and east fronts were draped with flags and bunting and the whole preseuted a bean- tiful effect. On the Navy frouat the flagstaf? was surmounted by one of largest American flags obtainable, while from the point from which the time ball drops each dav were fastened four sets of halyards, each running to a corner of the balcony, The one on the southeast corner contained four fags reading, in the language of bunting: ‘The President will arrive.” Pictures of Harrison and Morton shone everywhere and in every form, but their portraits carved in blood and tallow ou the backs of two butchered sheep hanging at Solaris's door, just above Willard's Hotel, attracted more attention than the most finished productions of less original artists Neariy all the decorations were coufined to Pennsylvania avenue and thas portion of the interesting streets in sight from the line of march of the inaugural procession. —————— THE WEATHER ASD CROWDS ' All Sunday night the rain fell as it had been falling since Saturday afternoon. Spe cial trains with excarsionists arrived at in. tervals of a few minutes throughout the night, and the music of water-soaked bands seemed to keep all Washington awake ns they paraded the wet streets to their quar ters The front of the Capitol had been fos. tooned in red, white and blas, and the plat. form erected on which General Harrison was to take the oath of office and receive from Girover Cleveland the trust which be bas had in his keeping for four years Monday morning these colors of the nation were be draggled and limp, like everything else, from the constant flow of rain since Saturday morning. But « fits the weather there were thronged thousands of strangers in the city, most of them decked out in military or gala dress, Every train brought a crow], and the streets and aveaues were moving masses of bumanity, One of the most notable features of the vast gathering was the prevalence of the simple uniform of the Pennsylvania Nationa: Guards, of which 132 companies of infantry in 1% regiments, 31 light batteries and threes companies of artillery, under command of General John F, Hartranft, took part in the parade, as they did at the inauguration of Cleveland and Garfield, Huge stands were erected at every place of vantage along the route of the parade, and despite the driz.ling rain which was falling At an early hour these stands had already begun to fi] up with people who cared to se cure seats thereon at from 50 cen s to £3 each. By 9 o'clock there wers thousands of peo- | ple perched on these rough pedestals. and the | bands accompanying the paraders. THE PROCESSION TO THE CAPITOL, ten A. XN. the firs division, !

President Cleveland's face was grave. His i coat was buttoned closely: his silk hat rested squarely on the massive head.

It eats clover and grass seed, snd those farmers who sow these seeds on the ground without cover ing them will look in ain for the young plants. These small birds come in flocks of sometimes 8 hundred or hundreds, and lighting on the fields are unnoticed, while each one will pick up the seed from a square yard of ground. It is easily calculated how soou 8 hundred of these birds will clear an scre of land of seeds; forty-eight visits will do it with. out leaving one seed. No wonder there are poor catches of seed, evjecially of timothy, sown in the fall, when these pests have a whole winter to work in or swarm on the ground in the spring. The only safety from this loss is to gover the seed by the harrow snd put ft safe in the ground, where it ought to be put by every good farmer, If these birds are needed to teach farmers a good lesson, thut grass and clover seed should be | sown in the most careful manner and not | scattered upon the snow or the bare hard | surface of the ground, they will not have | lived in vain, ~New York Times.
