man of rdmost Inconceivablo power is
held under certain restraints set out in
tho unwritten laws of tho land re
straints which to a man of independence
of character and habitual freedom of
personal movement must indeed Iks
found nt times most onerous.
I
From tho moment of his arrival in
"Washington President Harrison wnc al
most ns much under tho shadow of theso
conventionalities ns If ho had been al
ready inaugurated. Ho was forbidden
to return calls and to sit nt tho dinner
tablo of his friends. It wna incumbent
on him to call on nobody, but on every
body who wished to havo relations with
tho future president to call at his tem
porary residence and lcavo thoir cards.
Tills done, tho coming president exer
cised tho bovereign's prerogative of send
ing for thoso persons whom ho wished to
Boo, To dlsoliey such a summons would
bo considered an ntTront to tlio president,
while his failuru to send fev perbons who
had left their cards is of no couscqucuco
or significance.
President Harrison cannot return any
call except tho first call of n visiting po
tentate or member of n royal family or
tho executive authority of n foreign na
tion or state. Ho can glvostnto dinners
indeed, must but ho cannot accept in
vitations in return except to tho houso of
ono of his cabinet ministers. His friends
he can invito to dlno or luncheon with
him at tho executive mansion, but ho
cannot go out to dlno with them. This
has reference only to his 11 fo at tho cap
ital. Away from tho seat of govern
ment ho becomes again an individual,
and may govern his personal movements
in accordance with his wishes. At the
capital ho la forbidden freedom of Inter
course with persons In ofilclnl or social
life, lie is practically n prisoner of stato
in tho Wlilto I?i "iso, restrained by tho
bars of conventionalities mid usages set
there long before ho was born.
1 For four years Benjamin Harrison
undertakes to repress himself, almost to
Ium hk identity. No lowjer U ho Bon-
Jnl Ilnnlnoii, nor Clon. Harrison, nor
-J.,,,. llH.I.,,.. nnllll.. .,,!,-
cx-Suiiator Harrison. Olllclally speak
ing, ho Is not President llnrrison. Ho Is
not tin "Hon.," nor nn "Kso,,," but
simply "The President." In conversa
tion ho must always Ira nddrensed as
"Mr. PiesldenU" This is the code, but
as a matter of fact, In our free Ameri
can way, with our fondness for military
and Judicial titles, he will lie often
ppoken tnjiy thoso who know him well
ns "(leni'ial." as (Irani and others wero
before him. This is u presumption, but
It is tolerated. All olllciat communica
tions nre addressed simply "To the
President," mid this Is the form which
all Idler urlters should lino. Do not ills
play your Iguoiiince mid bad tnsto by
wilting on j mir oiiM'lopo "Hon.," nor
"Ills IJxcelli'iuiy," nor "Benjamin Har
rison." " I'o tho Piesldcnt" Is willlulent,
The letter will be delivered, mid will
reach the pniHr hands. Prom Intimato
friends vnt iations of tho form iniiy bo
pardoned, but coiresHiudents should In
this exercise gieat caution. The safest
inlo Is to lollow tho precedent, That Is
ulways the safest way In Washington.
The Identity of our soveielgn's Indi
viduality Is so completely lost in tho en
vliomnentsof hisolllctnl cliaiaelcr that
even his wife mid other members of Ids
family upon It of him ulways In conversa
tion with nliors as "the president." A
vast majority of the wives of presidents
havo gone urtlier than this and habitu
ally mi-!" tiscd their nugnst husbands In
pifvato life, not by tliufmnilinr'MiimoH,"
"John" or "Abraham," to which they
had Ik'cii long acciiKtoined, but by tho
formal and easy "Sir. President," Thero
have been exceptions to this rule, ns, for
example. In tho cases of Mrs. i laves and
Mrs. (larlleld. Tho ono udilrctucd her
husband, oven In tho presence of guests,
Hi "Ituthcrrord," mid Mrs. llarlleld habit
ually spoke to her liushund us "James."
Mrs. Grant was frequently heard to ad
dress tho general uu" Ulysses," and i,o mu
tinies if "Ulys.," but all llireo ladles,
whllo speaking to their husbands in this
and other familiar ways, Invariably
spoko of them ns "tho president."
Persons living far from Washington
cannot understand tho sot iousuess with
which matters of form and etiquette aro
consilium! here. They think theso con
ventionalities which do bedgo tho king
about aro useless and ildlculous. Yet if
thoy will icllect n moment thoy will seo
that nil these testrictious upon tho presi
dent's personal mid social movements,
theso forms of speech and address, aro
wholesome and necessary. Thero can
bo no boverelgn, electlvo or hereditary,
without n court, mid thuio can bo no
court without order. At tho very be
ginning of tho republic nil theso ques
tions woro gono over nnd over. Kxactly
a bundled years ngo Washington found
himself nmru emlxirraHsed by social than
by ofilclnl problems. Then thero wero
no prccedciftn. mid tho people wero un
accustomed to boclal conventionalities
beyond thoso of tlio most u'unplo charac
ter. Washington himself has related how
his lioiujowns tluongcd utnll hours of
tho duy by curious crowds, nnd bow no
Kirt of his domicile, not oven Mrs.
Washington's bed chamber, was safe
from prying eyes. Washington felt tho
need of order, nnd though ho wna ublo to
manage tho government for II vo months
without n cabinet ho wna sorely per
plexed, by tho problem of forming a
court uuil laws mid regulations therefor.
In this extremity ho called on his friends
for advice, mid through their counsel tho
foundations of American court etiquette
wero laid, substantially ns they havo re
mained throughout tho century, b.ivo
during tho administration of Jelfcrson.
President Jelferson had boiho notions of
his own, nnd from his innovations havo
sprung thocommon phrase, "Jeffersoulnn
simplicity."
Jcirerson was tho only president who
had tho courage to niako a vigototts pro
test ngaiiibt precedents. The llrst thing
ho uiil was to riilo Ins maro to tho capi
tal, hitch her to tho fenco nnd walk into
tho bcnato chamber to bo inaugurated.
Then ho redeclared his famous principle
that all men Wero created equal, and pro
ceeded to rearrange his court on that
lino. Tho historians ngreo that ho madu
a pretty mess of it. With his own hand
bo wrote: "When brought together In
society all aro poifectly equal, whether
foreign or domestic titled or untitled, In
or out of olllco." "No tltlo being ad
mitted here, iboso of foreigners givo
no precedence." Differences of grado
among the diplomatic members givo
no preference. Ho requested his cabinet
ministers to practice these and otherslmi
lar rules, nil designed to level mankind,
nnd the result, oven in that early day,
when thoro was very llttlo society at tho
national capital, tho city itself being thon
simply a village, was not wholesome.
Society so nearly resembled a mob that
tho oxecutlvo ladies protested, ami as
soon as Mnutson became president tlio
old order of things was restored. Monroe
was tho last of the presidents to wear tho
short clothes and dress sword of tho con
tinental fathers, and is thus styled "tho
last of tho cocked hats."
President Harrison has already given
ovidenco of his dcslro to maintain nil es
tablished forms and conform to all us
ages. Ho has been known for many
years as n man who deeply resiiecls and
conscientiously practices tho proprieties
of life. Scion of an old nnd famous fa
mily, a college graduato, a professional
man throughout all his career, a Presby
terian nnd elder in his church, and,
abovo all, a former senator of tho United
States, his conservatism ho comes by na
turally, nnd oven ut this early day, be
fore ho lias Bcarco unpacked his trunks,
it is safe to predict all tho forms and
customs now well established will bo
carefully maintained, and that his court,
under the leadership of himself and Mrs.
Harrison, will bo dignified without ex
cess of formality, brijllant without fri
volity or unseemly display.
Mrs. Harrison, as llrst lady of tho
land, will enjoy greater latltudo person
ally than her husband, tho president,
i though, of course, eho takes his rank
and enjoys Ids prerogatives. As head of
. the society of tho Capital City alio is not
I required to return calls, but may go
''where alio liken, nnd ns much tut bIio

such ns gracing the state dinners witli
her presence, standing nt the president's
side on levee nights, and holding recep
tions of her own, She may with pro
priety I'liteitaiu guests ut tho executive
mansion, receive her friends ns infor
mally ns she likes, or bo entertained at
tho houses of others. She may givo her
patronage to charitable entei prises, nnd
is not by any menus a prisoner of state
or a slave to conventionalities. A re
markable Instance of this was lately seen
In tho join uey Mrs. Cleveland made to
Philadelphia, on Christmas shopping
bent. That tilp she made uhsolutclv
alone uuil unattended, just ns any otbei
fiee ami independent Amei lean matron
travels whither she likes without escoit
or oilier protection than that alforded h)
hur own character and tho cluuiicterlstic
gallantry of tho country.

New Yokk, March 7. On tho morn
ing of that blustering March day in 1831,
when Gen. Garlleld was Inaugurated
president, 1 was chatting in the lobby of
tho Hlggs houso with nn old Washing
Ionian, mi ox-member of congress, nnd
n man of veiy wldoncqiialntnnco nnd of
good roputo for political shrewdness.
Within half an hour there passed the
hotel n number of pernons who to fathers
or ginndfnthors weio tho central llg
uieslu tlio past In just such un event
us was to bo bolemnlzed that day.
First, thero strolled byntu leisurely pace
a man of !("), short and thick set, dressen
llko u l'Vcucliman of good breeding nnd
bearing tho manner of n man of cultiva
tion mid wealth. This young man and
his brother havo Iho ilchcsl political
heritage of any In this country. Ho was
Henry Adams, nnd his grandfather nnd
great-grandfather had been presidents
of tlio United States and pcrluqn 'twas
u nrfrrow cscapo that his father, Charle-.
Francis Adams, had from nomination
mid elcctfou.
Almost on tlio heels of Henry Adams
camo a tall, slender, bluo eyed younj,
man, auburn bailed and gentle man
ncred. His father, too, had been prcsl
dent, for ho was Dr. Tyler, tho bon ol
John Tyler.
Then there entered tho hotel ubtoul
full bearded young man, black eyed
black haired and suggesting neither In
npiH'urauco nor manner his illustiiou
father. He was Hob Lincoln, son ol
Abtnlmtn Lincoln, nnd nbout to bccoim
n member of Gnrllcld's cabinet.
, Then camo along a thin, spectacled
studious looking youth, who stopped j
moment upon tlio sidewalk that ho iuigli
point out to a companion tho brilllam
uniform of ono of tho companies of mil
Itary that was to take part in tlio parudi
which was to escoit Garlleld to tho plnci
of power held by his father. This oni
was young Hayes, bon of tlio president
whoso term was to expire in a fow hours
Thero went running and rolllckinr
through the toilet lobby two youngsters
looking out for fun, and bored becauw
they wero stopped and spoken to so ofte:
by men who know that they wero tin
llttlo Garfield boys.
Something was said about tho number
of tho offspring of presidents then in
town, and tho Washington gentleman
exclaimed: "Oh, thero nro Bovernl othei
children and grandchildren of president:
In town. Thoro la ono now," and ho indi
catcd n gentleman who was just coming
from tho hotel dining room complacent l
using n wooden toothpick, llko ono whi
had satisfied a good appetlto with n goou
breakfast.
'Ho was a short man, built something
llko Phil Sheridan or Gen. Butler, with n
big bead, set seemingly without tho sup
port or n neck upon stocky, square
Bhoulders, a generous abdomen, and
Bhort, almost puerilo legs, that seemed
to havo been stunted by reason of tin
generous gifts nature had bestowed upon
tho body and head. Ho had largo, gray
ish bluo oyes, with peculiar wi inkles at
tho outer corners that gavo him tho sug
gestion of possessing nnd enjoying hu
mor; ho had tho noso of a financier,
something llko Jay Gould's, but tho lower
part of his fuco was concealed by beam
and mustache. In which tho brown wa
rapidly turning to gray.
Ho v, ore a short tailed business coat,
and a pair of trousers of remarkable
color, and most prominently bagged at
tho knees. Thoy wero of clayey bluo, i
delicate but dangerous shade, because
they revealed tho slightest suggestion oJ
contact with things which will.
Ho strolled to tho cigar stand mid
spjnt u few minutes sclectittg a brand,
half a dozen of which ho bought, nnd
lighting ono lie wont to the window auu
looked out upon tho street.
"You say bo is n president's bon. Who
la he?"
"Not a sou, a grandson. Ills grand
father win president just one month.
That is l!co Harrison, who in gnlmr, to k
sworn (u ah a senator today don't
know whether ho saw bin grandfather
inaugurate! or not, but this Is tho llnt
innugutatttiii ho has seen since then, If ho
did see that one."
Gen. Harrison stood so long nt tho
window that it was ovtdcnt that bo was
greatly Interested In something ho saw
outside, mid a glanco showed that ho was
watching with keen Interest the move
ments of the military upon tho streets.
NoUnly In tlio hotel necmed to know
him, or If he was recognized ho was not
thought of consequence enough to be
stow a second glance upon. At Inst mi
Indiana olllco seeker discovered Itlm,
nnd approached nnd npoko. Gen. Har
rison turned with somo annoyance,
plainly not wishing to havo bin attention
distracted from tho military.
The olllco seeker was icralstont, pulled
papers from his pocket, the general
glancing at them with n lxred air, mid
at last ho said, and ho distinctly that his
wonl i were overheard: "I havo just been
to breakfast. 1 haven't had time to
turn '110110(1 yet. But 1 don't think
there Is nny chance for you. The troublo
Is, there nre too many pegs for tho boles,
too many pegi for tho holes; wait awhile,
perhaps there'll bo n hole for you.
That's a lino company marching by,"
and lie turned mid looked iignin nt tlio
military. J
A half hour later Gen. Hnriison stood
on the sld3walk, ono of the great thiong,
hustled hither and thither In tho jam, I
and stretching Ids head to get a glimpse '
of tho boldiors For he Is fond of tho J
military. Ho likes good marching, good
uniforms and good music. And this in-
auspicious little man, one of the hundred
thousand that looked I rem the sidewalk
ut the evolutions of tho military, was tlio
btiino for whom the brilliant scenes of
that day aro now repeated.
When Gen. Harrison enteicd tlioBen
ntocliiiuiberulittlo Into that morning, ho
was known piobably to less than n dozen
members, nnd probably not one In fifty
of thogrc.it ciowd in the gallery know
or cared anything ulxuit tlio now llttlo
senator from Indiana. Big Joe .McDon
ald, whom ho was to succeed in tlio sen
ate, camo to him nnd took him under his
wing, nnd 'twas nn Iiupresshe sight to
seo that giant, with his kindly face, trot
ting tho little man around that ho might
present Ids future associates iuthosciiuto
to him. Soon thut other Indiana giant,
Dan Voot bees, cuiuo in nnd stood beside
them, mid there must have been bonic
thing in the sight that amused Conkling,
for lie called his friend Tliurinnn'Hntten
tion to it, nnd thoy both smiled.
Gen. Ilnrrison'H head barely reached to
tho shoulders of Voorhecs nnd McDon
ald, mid ho was obliged to throw his
head kick to look into their oyes, but ho
was grave and of great dignity, whllo
thoy cracked jokes nnd laughed heartily,
nnd soon gathered a group around fo
that Harrison wns completely hidden
from sight from tlio gallery. IIo was,
with tlio exception of Georgo Vest, tho
shortest man In tho senate, u fact upon
which Vest congratulated lilm when thoy
wero introduced.
Though tho grandson of ono who had
received tlu honora then bestowed upon
Garilold, Gen. Hnriison neeincd but littlo
impressed by the ceremonies In tho sennto
cliamlnr after Garlleld and Hayes camo
in. Ho sat i:i u chair on tlio outer row
of seats, nnd far down In it. too, bo that
Ids chin seemed almost on n lino with tho
desk in front of him, nnd glanced with
noovidenceof interest at tho scono which
is now repeated with himself nt tho Beat
of honor.
But when tliogtent throng of public
men had gathered on tlio platform nt
tho east front of tho Capitol to hear tin
inaugural uddresa and witness tlio ad
ministration of tho oath, Gen. Harrison's
interest was miulo manifest. Somo of
tho crowd pressed in front of him, just
before Garilold took his placo nt tho
stand, nnd Harrison ntonco mounted Ids
chair, where ho stood watching with tho
keenest interest tlio magnificent lino of
soldiers and tlio imprcsslvo throng of
human beings denboly packed together on
tho pjnzn in front of tho Capitol. Ono
company seemed to intorest him greatly.
IIo eyed it for boiuo moments and then
called the attention of tho man who
Blood next to him to it. When Garfield
began to tcad his inaugural, Harrison
Bat down in tlio chair, but It was not
possiblo to hear Garfield distinctly whero
ho 6at, and so lie, after awhile, gavo up
tho attempt and yielded to his interest
in tho military.
In tho beat in front of him Bat n hand
bomo gentleman with head uncovered.
although tho nir wns frosty, tho model
or decorum anil a magnificent cxamplo
of what an American gentleman may bo.
IIo was Gen. Arthur, just becomo vlco
president. His chnlr was in a direct lino
behind Garfield, only Chief Justico
Wnlto Bitting between him nnd tho pres
ident, nnd Ilnrrison's chair was next bo
hind Ids. And in this chanco disposition
ut thnt tlmo seemed indicated tho lino of
succession to tho presidency.
When the Inauguration ceromoulcs
wero ovqr and Garlleld had gone, a llt
tlo man stood further up tho portico
watching tho evolutions of tho troops op
thoy marched away. Ho was Gen. Ben
Harrison, and nn hour later I saw 1dm
on tho nvenuo again watching tlio mili
tary. E. Jay Edwakds.
Srlioolclrl'a Epitaph.
Though I cannot givo you tho follow
ing epitaph n existing in tho ranrblo
or on tho wood In nny church or church
yard, I think it is worth preserving, for
it has 601110 not unimportant teaching in
it. Tho lines wero given to mo na being
"funny" or "comic," but it seemed to mo
that tho pathos in them waa infinitely
greater thun tho fun. Thoy wero writ
ten, ns I wn assured, by a girl who,
long overworked In school nnd work
ehop, wns lying on her deathbed, and
knew that her end was nt hand:
Oh I wwep not for me-, friends, for I nm a-going
Wucro Micro'll neither bo reading nor writing uor

No! weep not for me, for, though wo must seier,
I'm coins to do nothing fororer and ever.
