THE INAUGURATION.
Standing upon a platform erected, on
the steps of the east front of the Capi
tol at Washington, Theodore Roosevelt
took the oath of office as President of
the United States for four years more,
beginning at noon of Saturday last, and
then made a short address to the mnlti
tude present, that reads more like a
Thanksgiving sermon that a public
speech.
The day was fair, bnt windy; the
President was escorted from the White
House to the Capitol that morning by a
company of Rongh Riders, and with the
Senators, leaders of the House, Supreme
Court, army and navy officers, foreign
representatives and others assembled in
the Senate Chamber, where the Vice
President was sworn in; and than he
headed the procession to the platform
ontside, where he repeated the oath
after Chief Justice Fuller, and made
his short but worthy address.
Immediately afterwards he descended
the steps and entered his carriage, and
again escorted by the rough riders,
headed the procession, which had form
ed by divisions in the aide streets aronnd
the Capitol, up Pennsylvania avenue to
the White House, where he left his car
riage and entered the reviewing stand
The procession was an imposing one
consisting of a division of the regular
army, cadets from West Point and
Annapolis; the signal corps and coast
artillery, a battalion from Porto Rico,
another from the Philipines, squadrons
Of cavalry, Penn'a National Guard, and
the same from Maryland, New York,
tad Ohio; cadets from the Indian
School at Carlisle, Americans Club of
Pittsbnrg with their umbrellas, a com
pany of the "President's neighbors"
from Oyster Bay, Republican or Tariff
clubs from several large towns, a com
pany of coal miners, the Cowboys of the
West," mounted, with lassoes and six
shooters in sight, and a company of col
ored men, followed by a great number of
rigs and automobiles. It was a great
procession; organized by Gen. Chaffee,
was in line for several hours, and was
not disbanded until after 0 p. m.
That ended the day's proceedings, bnt
that night a ball was given in the hall
of the Pension building for which every
body who attended paid |5.00 for a
ticket, and at which a few danced,
while the greater number looked at the
fancy dresses on exhibition, the "Simple
Life" being temporarily suspended.
We quote from the published accounts
—"Mrs. Joseph C. Sibley wore a superb
gown of white duchess satin, handsome
ly trimmed in point lace, dog collar of
diamonds, necklace of pearls and dia
monds, diamond ornaments in the hair.
Miss Gilbert Webber, light green voile,
trimmed in white lace.
Mrs. Huff, wife of Representative j
Huff of Groensbuag, magnificent gown
of white brocade aatio, with very long
train, bodice and skirt elaborately trim-,
aaed in point lace, tiara and necklace of
-diamonds.
Miss Caroline Huff, pale pink tulle,
embroidered in silver, with ruffles of
tnlle on skirt and bodice, pearl necklace
and star of diamonds in hair.
All the companies and clubs that took
part in the parade had bands, and these
filled the air with music, but the bands
from Ohio in respect for their late com
rades played hymn tunes.
The military organizations 1 rom Cleve
land, 0., left that town Friday, on spe
cial trains over the Fort Wayne R. R.
and as these trains were nearing Pitts
burg, that evening, one was held up by
a hot-box at Clifton station, the flag
man sent back was not seen, and the
•econd train crashed into the rear end
of the first, telescoping the cars, and
killing a dozen men outright, and
wounding about fifty. The broken cars
took fire from the gas lamps, and some
.of the dead were burned beyond recog
nition. The wounded were taken to the
Alleghenj General Hospital and to the
Hospital at Rochester, Pa.
It was one of the saddest railroad acci
dents that has happened in this country
for some time, and should enggest to the
railroad companies a better means for
lighting their cars than those now used.
That the President's ideals and pur
poses have not changed any as a result
of his growing power and popularity ia
manifest from the tone of his inaugural
•ddress, a deliverance which is surpris
ing to many because of its being of an
Academic nature Instead of bristling
with forcasts of executive action.
It was short and began as follows ;
"MT Fellow Citizens.
"No people on earth have more cause
to b« thankful than oars, and this ia
said reverently, in no sprit of boastful
ness in our own strength, but with
gratitude to the Giver of Good, Who
was blessed us with the conditions
which have enabled us to achieve so
large a measure of well-being and of
happiness. To us as a people it has been
granted to lay the foundations of our
national life in a new continent. We
are the heirs of the ages, and yet we
have had to pay few of the penalties
which in old countries are exacted by
the heavy hand of a bygone civilization.
We have not been obliged to fight for
our existence against any alien race;
and yet our life has called for the vigor
and effort without which the manlier
awl hardier virtues wither away.
"Under such conditions it would be
our own fault if we failed; and the suc
cess which we have had in the past, the
success which we confidently believe
the future will bring, should cause in
us no feeling of vainglory, but rather a
deep and abiding realization of all which
life has offered us; a full acknowledg
ment of the responsibility which is ours
and a fixed determination to show that
under a free government a mighty
people can thrive best, alike as regards
the things of the body and the things of
the soul. "
And this followed by a few sentences
regarding our duties as individuals and
as a Nation, and a reference to Wash
ington and Lincoln
The County Auditors Report.
The County Auditors finished their
work, last week, and a synopsis of their
report, as filed, can be seen on another

trict yet owes $103,000 on Bonds.
The total expenses of the County
Home, for last year were $8,860.47, and
besides this the insane and feeble minded
at the State Hospitals cost ns $7,279.22;
outside relief $8,794 27, and small pox
cases $2,629.14, making the total ex
pense for the poor, insane and unfortu
nate, $27,563.11.

WAR NOTES.
The greatest battle of modern history,
one in which nearly a million men were
engaged, the lines extended from eighty
to a hundred miles, has been fought
during the past week, and is not yet
ended.
It began on Wednesday of last week
when Kuroki's army—the right or
eastern wing of the Jap army, at the
base of the mountains, attempted to
turn the left wing of the Russian army,
and made Buch headway that day and
the next that Kuropatkin was compelled
to heavily reinforce his left.
This was followed by Nodzu's army
making a vigorous attack on the Rus
sian Centre, immediately south of Muk
den; while in the meantime Gen. Oku's
army of the Jap left, reinforced by Gen.
Nogi's from Port Arthur, circled through
Chinese territory, turned the Russian
right and threatened their line of re
treat to Tie Pass.
This last movement is said to have
come like a "bolt from the blue" to the
Russians, and to have thrown part of
their army into confusion. On Tues
day the extremes of the Jap right and
left wings are said to have met to the
north <~l Tie Pass.
The fighting at different parts of the
long line was furious, the dead becom
ing so numerous that the living made
breastworks of them.
The fignting alone: the western line is
said to have resembled a thunder storm,
over a strip about twenty miles long
and several miles broad. Both armies
fought like madmen, whole regiments
being cat to pieces by the rapid tiring
guns, and men dropping dead from the
stifling gasses made by the smokeless
powder. Gen. Kuropatkin and a hun
dred officers held a council at Fnshan
to the east of Mnkden, and that night
the latter city was reported to be burn
ing.
Yesterday the Russian army was re
ported in full retreat, having abandon
ed their lines along the Shakhe river
during the night.
HARItISBLRG.
On Monday Gov. Pennypacker vetoed
the concurrent resolution creating a
commission to the Oregon Expo, on con
stitutional grounds, and sent it back
to the Legislature top correction.
This wa3 to have been a busy week at
Harrisburg, because us on® member in
nocently stated, "Penrose will be here
and we'll get our orders."
The Birth of St. Patrick.
On the eighth day of March it was,
sotqe people say
That St. Patrick at midnight he first
saw the day,
While others declare twas ti»e ninth iiv
was born.
And 'twas all a mistake between mid
night and morn;
For mistakes will occur in a hurry and
shock.
And some blamed the baby and some
blamed the clock:
Till with all their cross questions, sure
no one conld know
If the child was too fast or the clock
WAS too slow.
Now the first faction fight in old Ire
land, they say,
Was all on account of St. Palrick's
birthday;
Some fought for the Htb, for the ,9th
more would die,
And who wonld't see right, sure they
blackened his eye.
At last both the factions so positive
grew
That each keep a birthday, so Pat then
had two
Till Father Mulcahy, who showed them
their sins,
Said no one could have two birthdays
bat twins.
Says he, boj's don't be fighting for 8 or
for 9,
Don't be always dividing but some
times combine,
Combine 8 with 9 and 17 ia the
mark,
So let that be his birthday. Amen, said
■ the dark.
If he wasn't a twin sure our history
will show
That at least he's worth any two Saints
that we know;
j Then they all got blind drunk, which
completed their blis=.
And we keep up the practice from that
that day to this.

A Strange Case.
Mrs. Jane Stanford, aged 80 years,
and widow of ex-Senator and ex-Gover
nor Leland Stunford of California, died
at a hotel in Honolulu, Hawaii islands,
from poisioning by strychnine, which
had been mixed in the bottle with the
harmless medicine called bicarbonate
of soda, and which Mrs Stanford was in
habit of taking before retiring. The
two powders or substances resemble
each othet in appearance and the mix
ing or substitution is said to have been
done in San Francisco, as the bottle
used that night had not been opened
from the time she left that place, a
month before.
An attempt was made to poison Mrs.
Stanford at her home in San Francico
a few weeks ago, and for that reason
she left home, and went to the islands
where she seems to have had goodhealth
and to have been enjoying herself; and
as she had already given away the
greater part of the large fortune left
her,o ne wonders what the motive could
have been. Bnt Mrs. Stanford seems
to have been followed by some im
placable enemy, that she
should not die a natural al?th.

JOE COSITY.
THE Commission and Engineers
have finally agreed npon a sea level cat a
across the Isthmus of Panama, the re
commendation being backed by convinc
ing data. The estimated cost is slight
ly in excess of $230,000,000, which is 434,
000,000 more than for a canal at the 30-
foot level: $52,000,000 more than at a 60-
foot level,and $79,000,000 above the cost
estimated by the first commission with
a summit level 85 feet above mean tide,
The advantages are economy in opera
tion, greater freedom of navigation and
oportunity to enlarge the waterway in
the future without interruption to ship
ping, and at much less cost than with
the canal at a higher level.
ORIENTAL PEOPLE.
trace of the Women and Claaale
Drapery of the Men.
Passing us occasionally, going to Je
rusalem with butter and eggs aud little
Jars of leben that showed their thick,
creamy throats as they were held up
to us, were small companies of women
In single ale. As one blue procession
went by the leader called to us: "Why
should you ride and we walk? Why is
your lot better than ours?" Given the
opportunity for leisurely argument, we
could not by any philosophy have made
satisfactory answer. We could only
admit the fact as they saw it and rec
ognize the universal world plaint of
discontent.
They carry themselves, these wom
en. like figures on an antique frieze. As
they stride along, holding in sure bal
ance on their heads their jars and bas
kets of homely produce, they tread the
stony paths with the grace and large
ness of action that we of the Occident
have grown to regard as belonging only
to tbe age of Praxiteles.
The men are also admirable in the
simplicity of their gestures, the big
lines of their attitudes, the swing of
their draperies. I saw a youth fliug his
mantle over his shoulder and fold It
about'him exactly in the manner of the
classic Greek sculptural in his finely
unconscious pose. God save the day

OPEN AIR TREATMENT.
Reasons For Its Good Results In
Cases of Consumption,
The advantages of the open air treat
ment for consumptives may be thus
briefly summarized: The patient ex
posed continuously to fresh air gains in
appetite, assimilates his food better,
sleeps more soundly and awakens more
refreshed. Free exposure to air la the
best antipyretic. Sweating at night,
formerly so common a symptom, usual
ly ceases. Colds are practically un
known among patients leading an open
air life. Secondary infection, on ac
count of the comparative freedom of
the air from micro organisms, is much
less likely to occur. Tolerance of out
side air is very quickly established, and
no one who has tripd tho opei* air life
will willingly go back to the former
conditions of stuffiness. I have never
seen any one made worse by exposure
to fresh air. Even during a thick Lon
don fog patients get on better lying in
bed on a balcony or In rooms with win
dows wide open and 0 good lire burn
ing than when attempts are made to
shut out the fog by keeping the win
dows shut.—Dr. H. W. G. Mackenzie
in London Lancet.
RELIGIOUS TATTOOING.
A Custom That Is In Vo*oe In Oue
Part of Italy.
In the "vanity" section of a museum
at Florence there is an interesting col
lection of blocks used for what is cull
ed "religious tattooing" among Italian
peasants of the district inclosed be
tween the Abruzzi, Umbria and the
Adriatic.
Feasants in these parts at work with
shirt sleeves rolled up display a Chris
tian symbol of some sort or a text tat
tooed in blue Ink on their brown skin.
This has been imprinted on the occa
sion of some special festival.
A wooden block is pressed upon the
tightly drawn skin to mark the out
lines of the design. This is then punc
tured, and a blue Ink is rubbed into
the wounds, which usually heal in
about twenty-four hours. The custom,
which is essentially Christian, is in
commemoration of the branding of St.
Francis, who founded a monastery
close to Loretto. —London Telegraph.
The Gentleman.
"The tme gentleman," said Cardinal
Newman, "carefully avoids whatever
may cause a jar or jolt in the minds of
those with whom he Is cast—all clash
ing of opinion, all collision of feeling—

Their Only Chance.
A party of soldiers was taken to the
shooting range for the first time.
The men first fired at a target 500
yards away, and not one hit it. They
were next tried at a target 200 yards
away, and still every oue missed. They
were at last tried at one Just 100 yards
away, but no one hit it.
"Attention!" thundered the drill ser
geant "Fix bayonets! Charge! It's
your only chance!"— Kansas City Inde
