LISTENING TO AN INAUGURAL ADDRESS. EES GF OTHER Incidents That Marked the Day in Former Years. WASHINGTON'S OATH-TAKING New York Scene of His Induction— Story of Jefferson's Simplicity a Myth—“People's Day” When Jackson Took Office. By E. W. PICKARD. Woodrow Wilson is the twenty-sev enth man to be inaugurated president lot the United States, but the twenty- j .fifth to be inaugurated in Washington. George Washington took the oath of ioffiee in New York and John Adams |in Philadelphia. Moreover, the Fa ther of His Country was not inaugu rated on March 4. Arriving at Elizabethtown Point, iN. J.. on April 23, he entered a barge rowed by 12 pilots clad in white, and passed through the Kill von Kull into New York harbor, which was full of all manner of craft gaily decorated and loaded with cheering crowds. The Spanish man of war Galveston broke out the colors of all nations, and fired a salute of 13 guns, to which the American frigate North Carolina re sponded. Arrival at New York. As Washington stepped ashore at Murray’s wharf the guns of the Bat tery roared out their salute and Gov. George Clinton and many members of congress saluted the first president. He was taken to the residence of Samuel Osgood, and for an entire week there was revelry throughout the city. Finally, on April 30, all was ready for the inauguration. Washington was escorted to Federal hall, then the capitol, which stood on the site of the present sub-treasury at Wall and Broad streets. The streets had been filled since sunrise with waiting crowds, and the enthusiasm was in tense. In the senate chamber Wash ington was joined by Adams, Knox, Hamilton, von Steuben and a few oth ers, and all of them appeared on the balcony. Robert R. Livingston, chan cellor of New York, administered the oath and cried “Long live George Washington, president of the United States,” whereupon there broke out a mighty tumult of cheering, bell-ring ing and the noise of cannon. Re turning to the senate chamber. Pres ident Washington read his inaugural address and the history of the United States under the constitu tion began. Myth About Jefferson. If you are a good Democrat, no doubt you believe that Thomas Jeffer son rode unattended to the capitol on horseback, tied his horse to the fence, and was inaugurated with less ceremony than would attend the tak ing of office by a keeper of a dog pound. Such is the old story, but it is pure myth and is first found in a book of travels in the United States written by John Davis, an Eng lishman. Davis asserted that he was an eye-witness of the simple ceremony which he described, but it has been proved that he was not in Wash ington at the time. The inauguration of Jefferson, which marked the defeat of the Federalist party of Hamilton, Washington, Adams and Jay, was the first to take place in Washington. The newly es tablished national capital, then but a few months old, contained only 3,000 inhabitants, many of them negroes; the houses were mostly huts and the streets muddy roads. The big event was thus described in the Philadelphia Aurora 'Of March 11; 1801: “At an early hour on Wednesday, March 4, the city of Washington pre sented a spectacle of uncommon ani mation occasioned by the addition to its usual population of a large body of citizens from the adjacent districts. A discharge from the company of Washington artillery ushered in the day, and about one o’clock the Alex andria company of riflemen w'ith the company of artillery paraded in front of the President’s lodgings. At 12 o’clock Thomas Jefferson, attended by a number of his fellow citizens, among whom were many members of con gress, repaired to tbe capitol. His dress was, as usual, that of a plain citizen, without any distinctive badge of office. He entered the capitol un der a discharge from the artillery. As soon as he withdrew a discharge from the artillery was made. The remain der of the day was devoted to pur poses of festivity, and at night there was a pretty general illumination.” Jackson Almost Mobbed. When Andrew Jackson was elected in the fall of 1828 the people of the west and the radical elements of the south scored a triumph and he was hailed as a “man of the people.” This character was emphasized on the day of his inauguration the following March, for never before had such a huge motley throng gathered in Wash ington. Jackson's wife had died not j long before, and he asked that the j ceremonies be made very simple, but j the masses were too hilarious to heed | the request. The weather was pleas- j ant and the east front of the capitol j was used for the first time for the in auguration. In front of it surged J 10,000 persons who were restrained ! only by a great iron chain. Jackson rode to the capitol on a white horse and went through the ceremonies with dignity, and started back to the White House. Then began his troubles, for the people broke loose with a ven geance. “The president was literally pursued by a motley concourse of people, rid ing, running, helter-skelter, striving who should first gain admittance into the executive mansion, where it was understood that refreshments would be distributed,” wrote a contempo rary, Mrs. Samuel Harrison Smith. In their mad rush the crowds smashed furniture and dishes and seized the food as if they were starving. “The confusion became more and more al palling. At one moment the presi dent, who had retreated until he was pressed against the wall of the apart ment, could only be secured against serious danger by a number of gen tlemen linking arms and forming themselves into a barrier. It was then that the windows were thrown open, and the living throng found an outlet. It was the people’s day, the people's president, and the people would rule.” Exposure Killed Harrison. For 12 years the Democrats con trolled the destinies of the country, and then the Whigs elected William Henry Harrison, who was inaugurated March 4, 1841. By this time trans portation was made easier by the building of railways and the crowd that flocked to Washington was im mense. It was much better behaved than that which "honored” Jackson, but it was hungry for offices. Cold, wintry blasts swept the streets of Washington that March day, and Harrison, already old and rather feeble, rode his white horse without cloak or overcoat, and with his hat off in salute to the cheering crowds. The line of march was unprecedent edly long, and so was the inaugural address, and then the president led the procession back to the White House. The exposure was too much for him and within one month he was dead. Lincoln's First Inauguration. Immensely dramatic was the first inauguration of Abraham Lincoln in 1861. From the day of his election threats against his life were numer ous, and detectives discovered and foiled an organized plot to assassinate him on his way to Washington. The big bodies of troops that had been employed at former inaugurations merely to add pomp to the occasion now were used for the protection of the president. As ' he rode to the capitol in a carriage he was preceded by a company of sappers and miners; a double file of cavalry rode on each side, and in the rear were infantry and riflemen. On house tops and in windows all along Pennsylvania ave nue were posted riflemen. The day had opened cloudy, chilly and dismal, but as the president step ped forward to take the oath from the aged Chief Justice Taney the sun burst through the clouds and shone full on the bowed head of the man who was to give up his life for the country he loved. Lincoln himself noticed this “sunburst” and drew from it a happy augury. In Recent Years. The inaugurations of Cleveland and Roosevelt are too recent to need tell ing. To the former the Democrats flocked in tremendous numbers. Wash ington entertained 100,000 visitors that day, and 25,000 persons march ed in the parade. Colonel Roosevelt's inauguration attracted another im mense throng, and was made espe cially picturesque by the Rough Riders and other Spanish war vet erans who appeared in the proces sion. If one wishes to stir the wrath of the "weather man” in Washington, it is only necessary to mention March 4, 1909, when William Howard Taft was inducted into the office of presi dent. Every preparation had been made for an imposing ceremonial and parade, but the entire affair was spoil ed by a fierce blizzard and snowstorm that swept over the national capital. The weather bureau was caught nap ping, and gave no smallest hint of the coming storm. The parade was held, after a fashion, but the ceremony of inaugurating the president had to be transferred from the front of the cap itol to the senate chamber, where but few could gain admittance to witness them. The weather bureau will not hear the last of that fiasco in th*s generation. New President Reviews Immense Inaugural Procession. AVENUE A GLORIOUS SIGHT aeneral Wood, Grand Marshal—Vet erans, National Guard and Civil ians in Line—Indians Add Touch of Picturesque. By EDWARD B. CLARK. , Washington, March 4. — Woodrow Wilson, as ex-president of Princeton, rode down Pennsylvania avenue to day, and later rode up the same ave nue as president of the United States, and as the highest officer of govern ment a few minutes thereafter re viewed the multitudes of soldiers and civilians which, with playing bands and flying flags, marched by to gite him proper official and personal honor. For several nights Pennsylvania ave nue has been a glory of light. Today it was a glory of color, movement and music. There are 300,000 inhabitants of the city of Washington. Its tem porary population is nearer the half million mark. The absentees from the flanking lines of the parade were most ly the policemen, who were given or ders to protect the temporarily vacat ed residences of the capital. Woodrow Wilson asked that “Jeffer sonian simplicity" be observed in all things which had to do with his in auguration. The command for Jeffer sonian simplicity seems to be suscep tible to elastic construction. There was nothing savoring of courts or roy alty, but there was evidence in plenty that the American people love uni forms and all kinds of display which can find a place within the limits of democratic definition. It was a good parade and a great occasion generally. Throngs Vociferous With Joy. The inhibition of the inaugural ball and of the planned public reception at the capitol had no effect as a bar to the attendance at this ceremony of changing presidents. Masses were here to see, and other masses w ere here to march. There was a greater demon stration w hile the procession was pass ing than there was four years ago. Victory had come to a party which had known nothing like victory for a good many years. The joy of posses Washington. The West Point cadets and the midshipmen from the naval academy at Annapolis, competent be yond other corps in manual and in evolution, the future generals and ad mirals of the army, had place in the first division. All branches of the army service were represented in the body of regu lars—engineers, artillery, cavalry, in fantry and signal corps. The sailors and marines from half a dozen battle ships rolled along smartly in the wake of their landsmen brethren. The National Guard division follow ed the division of regulars. It was commanded by Brig. Gen. Albert L. Mills, United States army, who wore the medal of honor given him for con spicuous personal gallantry at the bat tle of San Juan hill. General Mills is the chief of the militia division of the United States war department. The entire National Guard of New Jersey was in line, and Pennsylvania. Massachusetts, Maryland, Virginia, Georgia, Maine and North Carolina 1 were represented by bodies of civilian j soldiers. Cadets from many of the private and state military schools of the country had a place in the militia division. Among them were boys from the Virginia Military institute, the Cul ver Military Academy of Indiana, the Carlisle school, Purdue university, the Citadel cadets and the Georgia Mili tary academy. Veterans and Civilians. The third division of the parade was composed of Grand Army of the Re public veterans, members of the Union Veteran league and of the Spanish war organizations. Gen. James E. Stuart of Chicago, a veteran of both the Civil and the Spanish wars, was in command. Robert N. Harper, chief marshal of the civic forces, commanded the fourth division. Under his charge were po litical organizations from all parts of the country, among them being Tam many, represented by 2,000 of its braves, and Democratic clubs from Chicago, Boston, Philadelphia, Balti- i more and other cities. They put the American Indians into the civilian division. The fact that they were in war paint and feathers i helped out in picturesqueness and did i nothing to disturb the peace. Mem bers of the United Hunt Clubs of America rode in this division. Their pink coats and their high hats ap parently were not thought to jai “Jeffersonian simplicity” from its seat. Pink coats were worn on the hunting field in Jefferson's day and in Jefferson’s state. There were 1,000 Princeton students in the civic section of the parade. 1 Many of them wore orange and black Escorting the President-Elect to White House at a Previous Inauguration. sion found expression in steady and abundantly noisy acclaim. President ■ Taft and President-elect Wilson were escorted down the ave nue by the National Guard troop of cavalry of Essex county, New Jersey. The carriage in which rode Vice President-elect Marshall and Presi dent pro tempore Bacon of the United States senate was surrounded by the members of the Black Horse troop of the Culver Military academy of Indi ana. This is the first time in the his tory of inaugural ceremonies that a guard of honor has escorted a vice | president to the scene of his oath tak I ing. Parade a Monster Affair. The military and the civil parade, a huge affair which stretched its length for miles along the Washington streets, formed on the avenues radiat ing from the capitol. After President elect Wilson had become President Wilson and Vice-President-elect Mar shall had become Vice-President Marshall, they went straightway from the capitol to the White House and thence shortly to the reviewing stand in the park at the mansion's front. The parade, with Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood, United States army, as its grand marshal, started from the capi tol grounds to move along the avenue to the White House, where it was to pass in review. The trumpeter sound ed "forward march" at the instant the signal was flashed from the White house that in fifteen minutes the new ly elected president and commander in-chief of the armies and navies of the United States would be ready to review “l»is troops.” It was thought that the parade might lack some of the picturesque features which particularly appealed to the people on former occasions. There were Indians and rough riders here not only when Roosevelt was inaugu rated. but when he went out of office and was succeeded by William H. Taft. The parade, however, in honor of Mr. Wilson seemed to be pictur esque enough in its features to appeal to the multitudes. They certainly made noise enough over it. The procession was in divisions, with General Wood as the grand marshal of the whole affair and hav ing a place at its head. The display, in the words invariably used on like occasions, was “impressive and bril liant.” Regulars in First Division. The regulars jf the country's two armed service naturally had the right of way. Maj. Gen. W. W. Wother spoon, Vnited States army, was in command of the first division, in which marched the soldiers and sailors and marines from the posts and the navy yards within a day's ride of sweaters and they were somewhat noisy though perfectly proper. Stu dents from seventeen other colleges and universities were among the marchers. There was music enough for any democratic occasion. The judicious distribution of the bands prevented the clashing of tunes. There were fifty bands in line, but only one of them, the Marine band, was allowed to play “hail to the Chief,” a tune which every band on an occasion like this hitherto has insisted on playing almost incessantly, to the routing of every thing else known to the composers of the past. Spectators Cheer Constantly. All along Pennsylvania avenue, from the capitol to a point four block be yond the White House, the spectators were massed in lines ten deep. The cheering was constant and Woodrow Wilson cannot complain that the cere monies attending his induetion into office were not accompanied by ap parently heartfelt acclaim of the peo ple over whom he is to rule for at least four years. Every window in every building on Pennsylvania avenue which is not oc cupied for office purposes was rented weeks ago for a good round sum of money. Every room overlooking the marching parade was taken by as many spectators as cound find a vant age point from which to peer through the window panes. The roofs of the buildings were covered with persons willing to stand for hours in a March day to see the wonders of the inaugu ral parade, and many of them partic ularly glad of an opportunity to go home and to say that after many years waiting they had seen a Democratic president inaugurated. The parade passed the reviewing stand of President Wilson, who stood uncovered while the marchers saluted. When the last organization had marched by dusk was coming down. The hundreds of thousands of electric lamps were lighted and Washington at night became along its main thor oughfare as bright as Washington at day. The loss of the attraction of the inaugural ball was compensated for by the finest display of fireworks, it is said, this city has ever known. Live Baby as Football. A dozen boys playing football with a pasteboard box in a vacant lot in Brooklyn sat down to rest after an hour’s play. "That’s a funny-looking box,’’ said one of them. “Let’s sec what's inside.” They untied the strings. A four-days-old baby boy, naked and to all appearance dead, rolled to the ground. A policeman took it to a hospital. Half an hour later it was crying lustily. It will probably live.—New York Sun. "Every Picture TellJ a Story. ” 1 Straighten That Lame Back! Backache is one of Nature's warnings of kidney weakness. Kidney disease kills thousands every year. Safety is only certain if the early warnings are heeded while help is possible. Doan's Kidney Pills have helped many thousands to get rid of backache, strengthen weak kidneys and regulate bladder and urinary disorders. Don't neglect a bad back. If your back is lame ir. the morning, if it hurts to stoop or lift, if the dull aching keeps up all day, making work a burden and rest impossible—suspect the kid neys. If the urine is off color and shows a sedi ment: if passages are irregular, too frequent, too scanty, or scalding, this is further proof. There may be dizzy spells, headaches, nervousness, dropsy swellings, rheumatic attacks, and a general tired-out, run-down condition. Use Doan's Kidney Pills, the remedy that is publicly recommended by 100,000 persons in many different lands. Doan’s act quickly, con tain no harmful nor habit-forming drugs and are wholly harmless, though remarkably effective. Cared After Doctors Gave Up Hope H. R. Hatch, 2316 Cedar St., Everett, Wash., says: "I doubt if sr.y one ever suffered more than 1 did with kidney complaint. My hack was so bad I could hardly walk. The least jar or mis-step, caused twinges that fairly made me groan. 1 dreaded to stoop, for I knew what I had to suffer when I had to straighten up again. There was generally a frequent desire to urinate, but at other times the secretions were re tarded, dark in color, almost like blood and pained terrible in passing. The doctors said I had but a short time to live. As a last resort I began to use Doan's Kidney Pills and rapidly grew better, and at last was completely cured. 1 have remained in good health ever since.” When your back hurts, when your kidneys trouble you, when you feel tired, worn-out or depressed, don 7 simply ask for a kidney remedy—ask distinctly for Doan’s Kidney Pills, the same that cured Mr. Hatch, and make >are the name DOAN’S is on the box. 44 When Your Back is Lame—Remember the Name” DOAN’S KIDNEY PILLS At all Dealers or by Mail.

It began in my hair first with red blotches, then scaly, spreading to my face. The blotches were red on my face, dry and scaly, not large; on my scalp they were larger, some scabby. They came on my hands. The inside of my hands were all little lumps as though full of shot about one-sixteenth of an inch under the skin. Then they went to the outside and between and all over my fingers. It also began on the bot toms of my feet and the calves of my legs, and itch, oh, my! I never had anything like it and hope I never will again. The itching was terrible. My hands got so I could scarcely work. "I tried different eczema ointments but without results. 1 also took medi cine for it but it did no good. I saw the advertisement for a sample of Cuticura Ointment and Soap and sent for one.

Politeness Ignored. A Virginia farmer was driving a re fractory cow down the road one morn ing. The cow and the driver came to a crossroad. The man wanted the cow to go straight ahead, but the cow picked out the crossroad. A negro was coming along the cross road. "Haid her off! Haid her off!” yelled the driver. The negro jumped about the road and waved his arms. The cow pro ceeded calmly on her way. “Haid her off! Haid her off, nigger!" yelled the driver. “Ise a-tryin’ ter!” replied the negro “Speak to her! Speak to her and she’ll stop!” “Good mawnin', cow—good mawn in'!” said the negro politely. Nervousness Explained.
