drawn by four handsome horeea tlrlvo
him to tho Capitol. 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

one reporter assigned to this task began

hoU'l wo noticed the procesbion n.i it
p.w!ed along tho most public part of

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

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

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.

PitliDKi.i'iitA, Feb. 28. 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.
