Tho gayest of nil thoroughfares In America, just now, Is tho famous Pennsylvania avenue, which leads from tho executive inaiihion to the Capitol. Already it is a sea of bunting. Its broad, smooth pavement will booh re sound with tho tramping feet of a imilti tudoof soldiery and civilian organiza tions. If thero is nny thoroughfare whoso very ground Booms full of tho echoes of tho republic, it is this. George Washington trod ita earth, though it was then simply a path across tho fields. All tho elected presidents, save Wash ington and John Adams, rodo up tho avenuo to tako tho oath of ofllco. In 1811 tho British vandals marched down this thoroughfare after burning tho Capi tol. This was tho first and last tlmo that an nrmed foo set foot upon tho soil of tho Federal City. Tho earlier inau gurations were not accompanied by such pomp and ceremony as havo marked tho later occasions. But a fow hundred troops, or at moat a thousand or two, accompanied tho earlier presidents on their triumphal journeys. Probably tho Inauguration of Gen. William Henry Harrison in 1811 was uioro strikingly celebrated than usual in that era. In that day tho newspapers were not as prono as thoy aro now to stir tho pcoplo up to activity and display. Tho arrival of President Harrison tho grandson has within a day or two been chronicled in tho newspapers in columns of special telegrams, not tho smallest detail of his journoy being omitted. Har rison, tho grandfather, camo to Wash ington unaccompanied by special corre spondents, and Ida arrival hero, tho Sun day preceding tho inauguration, was an nounced in Tho National Intelligencer tho only dally paper In tho city tho fol lowing Tuesday, in a five lino paragraph with no mention of his stopping place. Tho arrival of tho vice president was stated in a singlo scntenco of a dozen words: "At tho same tlmo tho vlco president-elect, Mr. Tyler, also arrived." In tho samo issuo was a seven-column speech an eloquent commentary upon tho chango that has been wrought in newspaper methods during fifty years. A half century ago our nowspapcrs were full of speeches, essays and long editori als. Tho art of personal gossip, of descrlptivo writing, did not como till tho war of tho rebellion mado it a necessity. On tho morning of tho Cth of March Tho Intel ligencer prefaced its brief account of tho inauguration with this surprising statement: "It cannot reasonably bo ex pected wo shall lay before tho public a very detailed or nccurnto account of yes terday's interesting proceedings and cer emonies." Tho old nowspapcr, there fore, contented itself with printing n fow sketches of tho scenes and incidents of TU, 01U.ND ItEV'ir.W OP Till: AUMY. tho ctuv. t Is curious to note that tho one reporter assigned to this task began )ii.i tw -ount as follows: "Occupying a f.ivoruolo position in front of Hrown'a hoU'l wo noticed the procesbion n.i it p.w!ed along tho most public part of i'ennsylvania avenuo to tho Capitol." Tills id enough to bring Binilea to tho lips of tho modem reporter, but it would not bo just to coneludo tho nuwsjiapora of Ml wore utterly devoid of enterprise. Wliilo tho president wan still speaking on tho Capitol portico a special engiuo left tho ISaltlmoro and Ohio station, and in a little less than two hours reached Balti more, enabling The Sun to issuo an extra in tho afternoon. At 0 o'clock tho in augural was in Philadelphia, and ap peared next morning in Tho North American, though unaccompanied by any account of tho inauguration. Tho entorpriso of tho editors of that day was i i- i 3 .n J! JP H'lnfiiii Srr iilL''"- iftv, jrVi'vi: CAPITAL CITY COURIER, SATURDAY, MARCH 2, largely devoted to tho early securing of copies of messages nnd speeches. At 11 o'clock the inaugural reached Now York, and wim printed in tho uownpnpcra thero next morning, but the story of tliu in auguration did not npponr till several days Inter. Of course in these times tho inaugural and pngo after page of descrip tion will go to nil the leading papcro in tho country by telegraph, but it is wortli noting that the railroads have also made progress in tho llfty years, regular trains running from hero to Baltimore In forty live minutes, nnd to Philadelphia, M0 miles, In three bourn. Up to tho beginning of tho rebellion tho most stirring sceno Pennsylvania avenue had over known was a rovlow of the troops returning vlctorloun from tho Mexican war. In 1801 the volunteers from the north liogau ourlng into tho capital city, nnd for llvo yeara tho great thoroughfare was never free from tho march of martial hosts, tho clinking of sworda and tho shimmer of bayonets in tho sunlight. Soon long trains of am bulaneo wagons bearing iuuumerablo wounded men began coming over tho long bridge from tho Virginia shores, fllllug 0110 side of the broad avenuo with groans and tears, wliilo on tho other fresh rcgimcntH were marching eagerly to the front. In that epoch Pennsyl vania avenue was tho gateway of war, tho pass through which history marched to and fro. And when nil wuh over this thoroughfare, on which tho eyes of the nation nro again centered, became tho sceno of an event that still Uvea in tho memory of all who witnessed It. Tho gnvml rovlow of tho armies of tho north returning from the battlo fields filled Pennsylvania avenuo with thousands upon thousands of marching veterans, carrying aloft their colors riddled with bullcta ilred by men ns bravo as them selves. To thin day in all the shop win dows of Washington, nmong all tho cost ly pictures in thonrtgallerleaor hanging on tho marble walls of tho Capitol, there is none that approaches in spirit, ncntl ment or pathos this old and still Kipular photographic view of the victorious vol unteers marching homoward through Pennsylvania avenue. Other presidents were escorted down tho avenuo with much pomp nnd cere mony, but tho procession which accom panied President Cleveland was tho largest over seen in Washington. Ho was tho leader of a party which had been out of power for nearly twenty-flvo years, and it was but natural his follow ers should wish to celebrate their restora tion to power with unexampled festivi ties. Four years ago tho marching men from tho south were seen hero for tho first tlmo slnco Buchanan's inauguration, and tho procession thus took on a charac ter distinctively national. Tho perfectly drilled -companies, tho bright and showy uniforms of the southern companies, mte&2. &'2?'& ci.uvi:i.a::d takino ti: oath. their dash and display, their admirablo exhibitions of tactics, and, nbovo all, their handsomo commander, Gen. Leo, will bo missed from tho parado of noxt week. Yet without tho south tho Re publicans havo determined to mako it tho greatest of all inaugural events, Thoy, too, aro returning to power after sufTer Ing tho bitterness of defeat, and nro quito as jubilant at were their friends tho enemy four years ago. It is now ex pected tho number of men in lino will beat all records. Tho tendency con stantly is toward making tlieso demon strations larger nnd larger, and it is not easy to foretell what thoy will como to if tho spirit of rivalry long continues. Tho Inaugural parades grow oven faster than tho country, nnd already it lias been found necessary to extend tho lino of march to a point two nnd a half miles from tho Whito House. Still tho column will bo nearly twico as long as tho routo, and It is doubtful if tho last company will disband before darkness has set in. A larger procession than this it would be almost imoosslblo to lmnilln lintimnn 1 o'clock or 1:U0, tho hour at which tho president-elect concludes tho delivery of lib inaugural address, and tho closo of thb day. Yet it is likely tho procession of '03 will bo longer than that of '8a. Tho samo wonderful growth has been seen in tho inaugural balls. An inaugu ral ball seems ns much a necessity as an inaugural parade. It is ns well estab lished in tho precedents of history. Con trary to tho Btatemcntsof somo historians, Gen. Washington's first inauguration was commemorated by a ball. It was given In tho old City Assembly rooms in Now York city, where tho inaugura tion took place. Curiously enough, on that occasion aroso tho samo question which is now disturbing tho serenity of somo young men. Tho criticism was mado that tho managers of tho Washing ton ball were altogether too particular as to tho dress of tho guests for a simple, plain republic. On that occasion tho costumes to bo worn by tho gentlemen were minutely prescribod. Tho men were required to dnnco with small swords on, and on taking a partner to dancoto lead her in front of tho sofa whereon Gen. and Mrs. Washington were seated, and to bow low to them. This ceremony of respect had to bo repeated before each couple took their Beats. Gen. and Lady Washing ton on this occasion danced tho btatelv minuet. Tho fin,t inaugural ball held in thb city was given in honor of President Sladlson. in 1800. It was contomnnm. neously chronicled that tho attendanco ti 11 . -uxceoueu tour nunureu," not a very largo party, to bo sure, nnd of Sourso not altogether "select," notwithstanding tho significant number.

John Wana maker, tho merchant prlncoof Philadel phia, is a stalwart pillar of tho Presby terian church, and his favorlto hobby is neither Ills gteat store nor his magnifi cent country place nor any other of his many possessions, hut rt Sunday school. At 10 yeara of ago Mr. Wannmaker, n plain country boy who had como to town rather to mako a living than with any Bottled Ideas of seeking n fortuno, was converted under Dr. Chambers' ministry and Joined tho church and Sun day school. It was not many weeks before ho wtia given n clasa to teach, but lie felt shy and out of place, and hearing one Sunday nn eloquent appeal for tho establishment of homo missions on tho outskirts of tho city, ho thought to liimsolf,"Now hero is tho thing for mo to do." Full of this Idea he applied to the board of homo missions for further information ns to where the greatest need was felt. Sev eral localitle.1 were mentioned, tho most degraded being tho southwest portion of the city, along tho Schuylkill from Upruco to Christian street, and from Twentieth street to the river. Forewarned that thoy did bo nt tho risk of their lives, tho zealous young convert nnd n veteran member of the Sunday School union, Ii II. Tolinul, with much experi ence as a city missionary, hired a room, nnd 011 tho first Sunday in February, 18.18, tried lo open a Sun day school at Twenty-fourth nnd Pino Btroets. Tho meeting drew it crowd, but as Mr. Wanamaker said in a recent address as Bethany, "not of the kind thoy wanted." About twenty of tho neighborhood roughs, "heelers" and " bouncers," us thoy called themselves, camo in with clubs and ordered them to "get out or bo killed." "Wo hadn't any clubs, and wo didn't wnnt to bo killed, so wo got out that time, nnd tho Sunday school wasn't born just then." But it lias novcr been John Wnnn maker's way to givo up anything ho un dertakes, and he left only to htroll through the neighborhood looking for n more promising location. At aioo South Btrect thoy saw on Irish girl with her head out of tho window where n small pieco of white paper loro tho legend, "Itoom to Kent." Thoy asked tho terms ($0 11 week) and secured tho refusal of tho room until tho noxt day. Hero on tho second Sunday In February, 1858, Bethany Sunday school had Its first lieglnning, with Messrs. Wanamaker nnd Toland ai teachers and twenty-soven pupils. Tho school grew steadily in spito of nil predictions to tho contrary. Another room in tho samo house fell va cant; thoy rented that and filled it, then tho school overflowed into tho entry nnd staircase. Mr. Wanamaker feared lest his landlord might object, but Instead tho people of the house camo to tho school. The neighborhood was a terror to tho city; no rospcctablo woman dared venture there alone oven In daytlmo, no well dressed man with a dollar in ids pockets was safo thero after nightfall. "Your life isn't safo," pcoplo told him. "My life belongs to God," was Ida nn Bwer. "And in all theso thirty-one years," ho bald recently, "I havo been ofrercd but one indignity. It was a bit ter cold day. nnd I was on my way to a funeral in tho worst part of tho neigh borhood. As I passed a knot of men nnd boys standing near a corner saloon a hugo snowball struck mo violently in tho back with such forco as to mako mo stagger for a moment. Nono other followed, nnd I walked on, thinking best not to notlco it. Somo weeks afterwards, at tho samo place, a rough, awkward looking fellow sidled up to mo. 'Please, Mr. Wanamaker,' ho stammered, 'I hit you with a snow ball once. I'm sorry I dono it. I didn't mean it for you, and and plcaso may I como to your Sunday school?' And bo," added Mr. Wanamnkor, "I was really glad tho thing had happened." By sum mer tlmo tho school had outgrown its quarters and was attracting attention outside, and somo help had como to tho earnest missionaries. They hunted nlong tho river front, found somo old salla for hire, and put up a tent on a vacant lot. Hero thoy met until cold weather camo, when thoy were ablo to hire tho old car depot of tho Gray's Ferry Passenger Itallroad company, wliilo, somo friends aiding them, thoy raised $3,800 and put up a little building on tho Bite of tho tent. By this timo tho school began to bo felt as a jwwer for good in tho neighbor hood and all active opposition to it had well nigh died out. Ono of Mr. Wana maker's most efficient assistants was his Bister, now tho wifo of a zealous homo missionary in tho southwi-st. Sho had a class of a hundred laborers from tho gas works and brick yards, somo of whom camo barefooted and in their working clothes they had no others. People, officious but well mean ing, good Chribtian people many of them, held up their hands in horror that Miss Wanamaker bhould venture to teach such people. But novcr wns bIio treated by one of those rough men with other than tho utmost respect, and thero is no doubt that many of them would havo laid down their Uvea In her service. "I could show you tho children of thoso men today," said another coworker In tho Sunday school in those days, re cently, "men nnd women occupying positions of trust hero in tho btoro, well bred, well dressed nnd ns thoroughly ro spcctablo as anybody, and this is only part of tho good that Bethany Sunday school has dono." In 1805 tho first tuitding on tho pres ent muo of Bethany church and Sunday school was begun, Mr. Wanamaker be ing, as always, tho mainspring of tho movement. Ho put in every dollar ho 1889. could raise, nil of his own otttnldo of w lint was actually invented in his busl ncMt (which then yielded him nu Incomo of about $1,000 u year), and all he could bog. At last, being determined not to run In debt, ho wns forced to tell tho cnutmctorn that thoy must Htop work, alnco he hud no more money for them, The rumor nt once was started by tho enemies of the Sunday rchool that his business had failed, and that ho had sus pended payment. Such a report might naturally havo boon expected to ruin him, but Instead it actually helped him. Strangers came lo him from ovory where, saying that thoy had heard he was in dllllcultlcH, that he had ruined hhuHclf trying to build it church, and that thoy meant to buy their clothes of him, In vnln ho told them they were mistaken, that ho was not In debt, and not on the verge of failure; thoy refused to believe him, and not only did his business Increaso, but subscrip tions came in for tho church fund, and tho work was thus enabled to go on. In 1875 the present building was erected. On this Mr. Wanamaker, not then tho millionaire that ho is now, spent over $50,000 out of his own means. "I havo always mado it a rule to attend to God's work as I have to my own," ho said to the writer ten years ago, "Tho promlso of increaso Is given to those who plant and water, not to thoso who do nothing but ask for It." Somo touching ntories aro told of the sacrifices mado by tho poor ooplo to build their church. Tho tower is a monument to tho zeal of a little Infant school scholar, who, longing to do something, gathered bones until sho had thuii earned a dollar, which shu brought as her offering. A young lady who heard of tho incident wrote a poem com memorating It, and enough copies of the poem were sold to raise tho money neces sary for tho spire. Uemonstrances were mado as to tho decorations, which it was urged were useless in view of tho class of pcoplo who attended tho services. To theeo Mr. Wanamaker replied that it was mainly for this very reason that ho wanted everything as beautiful as possible. "To many of these children tho Sunday bcIiooI Is their ono glimpse of beauty nnd comfort. I want them to associate it with their Ideas of heaven, nnd to ro memlxir when thoy seo it that tho chil dren of Israel were commanded to bring of their best for tho tabernacle, and that Solomon made the temple nil glorious that It might lie fit for tho Lord to enter." And so tho Interior of tho Bethany build ing is 0110 of tho prettiest, though by 110 means the most expehslvo, In tho city, and in hot summer days a cooling foun tain sends up Its spray lu front of tho superintendent's desk. In nddltion to tho money which ho gavo to tho build ing Mr. Wnnnmnker mado tho greater gift of buying two wholo blocks near by, whereon stood taverns, gambling saloons and disreputable houses, and rebuilding them with neat two story brick dwell ing houses which ho let only to decent tenants, an investment which, ns regards the world, has been, as ho expected when ho made it, decidedly a losing ono. Questions como from nil over tho coun try, "How do you get tho scholars?" "How do you keep them?" "How do you prescrvo order among so inany?" for the Sunday bchool luui 11,000 pupils. Thla last point la tho most wonderful thing about the school. Many nu ono of fifty scholars la by far loss orderly. A single tap on tho bell is enough to com mand instant silence, and every word spoken by tho superintendent la listened to in breathless sllcnco. Doubtleea much of thla ia duo to Mr. Wnnamakcr's won derful magnetic power, his ability toliold nn audience. Ho is a most successful Sunday school speaker, and novcr refuses Ins aid to other organizations. "Go to Mr. Wanamaker now," said a lady who knows him well, herself nn nctivo worker in charitable patlis, "and tell him you want him tn speak at any meeting for a really good object, and ho will answer at once, 'Certainly; how long shall I give you, fifteen minutes, twenty, half hour? and when tho timo comes, though every body elso dlsapiKiint you, Mr. Wana maker will bo thero." When ho was sent somo years sinco to Kuropo by his physicians nnd ordered absolute rest, tho first thing beard of him on tho other sido ho was addressing a Sunday school meeting in Liverpool. I asked him when ho camo back If ho called that rest. "Oh," ho replied, laughing, "that wasn't work." Ho sets nn cxnmplo to all Sunday school teachers and superintendents in tho matter of regular attendanco. Dur ing the past year ho has been absent from his post but ono Sunday. In tho summer especially ho makes it a duty to como back from country or seashore, wherever ho may bo, to attend tho school. "Everybody who can wants to bo away," ho bays, "so I am all tho more needed. But it ia no sacrifice. I enjoy it. Nothing else I have over dono or had has given me half as much comfort and satisfaction as my work in that Sunday school. I never had any idea it was going to bo anything grant whim I Ixnrnii it; it ju3t grow and grew. And I novcr had any great plans for my own future. All tho plan I havo had was always to do a full day's work, to do it as well as 1 could, and to work faithfully nt tho thing that lay nearest to my hand." Ho has an adult Biblo class of nearly 300. lnst year ho gavo them each five cents to invest on tho "talent plan," and make nil thoy could from it. Tho seed thus bowed harvested a thousand dollars. With this they havo bought a lot nt the benshoro, ami the fivo cents this year are to bodovoted to mak ing money to build a Bethany summer homo on the lot. Tho immenso clasa ia divided into working clubs, and has tithes men whose business it is, not only to collect contri butions, but to look after tho spiritual und temporal needs of tho pcoplo as well.
