ED. MOTT AS A FARMER.
He Develops a Self Peeling Potato
A Rival of Burbank.
In the matter of startling results from
intelligent culture and development of
products of the vegetable kingdom, Ed.
Mott, literateur and agriculturist, of
Goshen, has the New England man
beaten to a frazzle, when practical util
ity is considered.
Shortly after Mr. Mott settled down
with his lares and penates at Dandelion
Hill a friend gave him a self-sharpening
lead pencil one of the kind wherestrips
of paper taketheplace of wood, and sec
tions of which may be loosened at one
end and peeled off as desired. Mr. Mott's
ingenious mind at once grasped the
possibilities of the idea as applied to
potatoes, and last summer in his famous
garden he set to work to develop and
perfect a self-peeling potato. He has
continued his experiments indoors dur
ing the present winter, and his potato is
now practically perfected.
The potato resembles the ordinaiy
product except that a ridge begins at
the point where the tuber is attached to
the vino and runs spirally to the other
end. By loosening the skin at the point
of beginning it may readily be removed
by a gentle pull, in a long spiral, along
the line marked by the ridge.
That there will be a great demand for
these self-peeling potatoes is bevond
question, and countless thousands of
housewives who have spent weary hours
in removing the skins of potatoes by
means of a knife will rise up and call
Mr. Mott blessed. Goshen Independent

Presidential Inaimuratio
From Washington to Linco;:i
All the. Way From "Jeffersonian Simplicity"
to the Pomp and State of Modern Times.
DURING the early years of the
government, before the capital
was moved to Washington, tho
Induction of n president, al
though a ceremony of great dignity
and solemnity, was a very small and
select affair.
In New York for nearly a fortnight
preceding the great day of April 30,
1780, every tavern and boarding house
bad been thronged with visitors, and
on the day before the Inauguration
every private house was tilled with
guests from all parts of the Union.
In the center of the procession, pre
ceded by the Benate nnd followed by
representatives, walked George Wash
ington. On reaching Federal hall the
troops formed a line on each side of
the way, through which the president,
with his attendants, was conducted to
tol by the militia, nnd the ceremony
took place In the senate chamber,
which Is now the supreme court room.
As the day for the second inaugura
tion of James Monroe fell .on Sunday,
the ceremony took place the following
day, Monday, March C.
John Qulney Adams was Inaugurated
on March 4, 182.", and the day was one
of great demonstration and display.
Fresldcnt Monroe called at the resi
dence of the president elect, who'then
resided on F street, opposite the Kb
bltt House, and here they were Joined
by tho military escort, and the proces
sion, headed by the cavalry, moved at
once to the capttol.
The Inauguration of "Old Hickory"
took place on March 4, 1820, and wax
a memorable one. The friends of
Prcsldeut John Qulncy Adams had

son as an escort, and he rode to tho
capttol In an open carriage.
Th second Inauguration of Andrew
Jackson was very simple. There was
no military escort, no outward display
and no procession.

tiful day. and the Inauguration cere

The second Inauguration of Presi
dent Washington took place In Inde
pendence hall, at Philadelphia, on
March 4, 1702.
On March 4, 1707. John Adams was
inaugurated president of the United i
States In the old statehnuse nt Phila
delphia. Although the day was favor
able, there was no parade or gathering
of a largo ossemblage.
Although the generally accepted ac
counts of Jefferson's Inaugural ion
make it appear that he rode to the cap
ltol on horseback without attendance
and that the ceremony was of tho i
simplest kind, n newspaper of the day
states that "on this day President
Elect Jefferson was escorted from his
lodgings to the capltol by a body of
militia and a procession of citizens."
Jefferson's second inauguration on
March fi, 1803, was simpler. If possible,
than his first.
A Ceremonious Occasion. f
The Inauguration of James Sladlson
was the first ceremony which was
made n great occasion. The day was
ushered in by a federal salute, nnd at
nn early hour the volunteer corps of
mllltla began to assemble. So great
was the crowd that the oath of office
was administered In the old hall of
representative, now statuary hnll, at
the capltol. For the first time In the
history of Inaugurations the various
branches of the government were ush
ered Into the hall with ceremonious
pomp and parnde.
James Madison was Inaugurated the
second time on March 4, 1813. Ho had
a military escort, nnd-the ceremonies
In the houso of representatives wore
similar to those of his first Inaugura
tion. In tho evening there was an In
auguration bnll nt Davis' hotel, which
Is now tho Metropolitan.
The 4th of March, 1817, was a beau
tiful day, nnd there was n largo crowd
to witness the Inauguration ceremo
nies. The president elect and vice
presldont oloct left tho prlvnto resi
dence of President Monro?, attended
by a large cnvnlcnde of cltlzons on
liorsobaci.. Thoy wcro met at ttio cnpl-
live American citizen inaugurated
lid I lent, for all the others had been
Kr:: us British subjects.
A Notable Cc titration.
The Inauguration of "Old Tippeca
noe" was one of the greatest events
that ever occurred In tht? national cap
ital. After the furioiu campaign
which preceded ills election great
crowds gathered In Washington to
witness the Inauguration.
Exactly one month after this PresI'
dent Harrison died, and on April 0
John Tyler took the oath of office 'be
fore William Cranch. chief judge of
the circuit court of the District of Co
lunibla.
It was n cold, rnlny day when Presi
dent Polk was Inaugurated, but there
ivns n long procession of the military
as well na civic orca Jzatlons.
j Znchnry Taylor had lino weather,
unlimited noise nnd great ceremonies
Attending his inauguration. As the 4th
fell on Sunday, he was inaugurated on
Monday.
As President Taylor died on July 0,
one year nfter his Inauguration, Vice
.President Millard Fillmore took the
oath of office on Jnly 10 In the house
of representatives.
The Inauguration of Franklin Pierce
was unique In the fact that the vice
president elect, William R. King, wns
not In Washington to be sworn Into
(ilflee, but was on n mission to Cuba
nnd took the oath of ofilce nt n plan
tation on the hills nbove Mntanzas at
the same time President Elect Pierce
wis being sworn In In Washington.
'Hiero wns no inaugural ball.
Tho 4th of March, 1837, wns a splen
did day. nnd .Tnnies Buchanan was ln
nmrurnted with much pomp nnd cere-
, mony. After reaching the White
I House President Buchanan held n
public reception and nt night attended
llie Inauguration ball, which was held
l'i a building In Judiciary squnre erect
ed frr that purpose.
The Lincoln Festivities.
Abraham Lincoln had a bright, clear
1 tiny for his first inauguration, but It
wined nnd the streets were wet and
i muddy when he took his second oath
I of otlico. The martyr president went
' t the capital from Springfield by way
oMinliana polls. Columbus, Cleveland,
, Pittsburg and Philadelphia, and, al
' though lie was given receptions all
1 along the way. when he reached Har-
rlsburg. on account of threatened vio
lence, It was thought best to change
the plans, and he proceeded to'Phlla
dclphin In one of the public cars, and,
arriving there at midnight, he entered
the New York sleeper and. passed
through Baltimore undisturbed nnd ar
rived In Washington at 0:30 on the
morning of Feb. 2.".. He remained at
Wlllard's hotel until the Inauguration
day, when President Buchanan called
for him, and in an open carriage the
party proceeded to the capltol. In or
der to avoid threntcned violence the
president and president elect In their
carriage were preceded by a company
of Infantry, double files of the Dis
trict cavalry on either side and hi
fnutry and other military organiza
tions following. In the long proces
sion there wns a large car or float
representing the constitution and the
Union, each state being represented
by a little girl dressed In white. A
battalion of District troops guarded
the steps of the capltol. The cere
mony of swearing In the vice president
In the sennte completed, the entire
jjmrty marched to the east portico of
the capltol, where the great scene of
i swearing in Abraham Lincoln took
place.
The civil war was In progress when
Mr. .Lincoln was Inaugurated for the
second time. There were evidences
1 of the war everywhere, and gloom
nnd sadness covered the whole land.
The president went to tho capltol car-
ly to sign hills, and therefore the pa
1 rade marched down without him. The
procession, however, wns noteworthy.
