oT tho Mohicans. When the days are cool and clear the tuberculosis patients on North "Brother Island wrap themselves in the blue blankets furnished by the city and sit in the open air for a sun bath. ' A short lime ago , says tho New /York / Sun , the health commissioner conducted a party of peace delegates to the island. They were from Eng land , and had seen pictures of the North American Indian. "How interesting ! " remarked one visitor , as the boat was about to land. "See how peacefully they sit. Are they the last of the Mohicans ? " Doing Great Work. Ward , Ark. , March (5th.

Among rl e cured here is Mr. J. V. Waggoner , a well known citizen , who , in an interview , says : "Dodcl's Kid ney Pills nave done wonders for me. My kidneys and bladder were badly out of order.

When the financial panic of 1S93 broke out , the senior editor of a trade journal published in the interests of business men and financiers was on a visit to a mining town In the fur West Fearful lest his junior , in the office at home , might give editorial ut terance to pessimistic views and weak en public'confidence still further , he hastened to a telegraph office and de spatched a brief message of advice. It happened that the junior partner on this particular day had just be come the father of a pair of fine twin boj'.s. While his friends in the office ( were congratulating him upon this event , a messenger entered with a telegram. He opened it , and read the following message from the senior partner : "Dear George Things look blue , but they will brighten up soon. Take a cheerful view of the situation. Hi ram.

As a result of observation and re flection during a long life touching public men and measures in wide va riety , "i would desire for my country three things above all others to sup plement American civilization ; from Great Britain her administration of criminal justice ; from Germany her theater ; and from any or every Euro pean country save Russia , Spain and Turkey , its government of cities.

It hardly pays to laugh before you nre certain of facts , for it is sometimes humiliating tp think of afterwards. "When I was a young girl I was a lover of coffee but was sick so much the doctor told me to quit and I did , but after my marriage my husband begged me to drink it again , as he did not think it was the coffee caused the troubles. "So I commenced it again and con tinued about G months until my stom ach commenced acting bad and chok ing as if I had swallowed something the size of an egg. One doctor said it was neuralgia and indigestion. "One day I took a drive with my husband three miles in the country and I drank a cup of coffee for dinner. I thought sure 1 would die before I got "back to town to a doctor. I was drawn double in the buggy and when my hus band hidied ! the horse to get me out into the doctor's office , misery came up in my throat and seemed to shut my breath off entirely , then left all in a flash and went to my heart. The doc tor pronounced it nervous heart trou ble and when I got home I was so weak I could not sit up. "My husband brought my supper to my bedside with a nice cup of hot coffee , but I said : 'Take that back , dear. I will never drink another cup of coffee if you gave me everything von are worth , for it is just killing me. ' He and the others laughed at me and said : " 'The idea of coffee killing any body. ' " 'Well , ' I said , 'it is nothing else but coffee thai is doing it. ' "In the grocery one day my husband was persuaded to buy a box of Postum which he brought home and I made it for dinner and we both thought lio\v good it was , but said nothing to the hired men. and they thought they had drank coffee , until we laughed and told them. Well , we kept on with Posluni , and it was not long before the color came back to my cheeks and I got fitout and felt as good as I ever did in my life. 1 have no more stomach trou ble and I know I owe it all to Postum in plaoe of coffee. "My husband-has gained good health on Postiun. as well as baby and I , and we all think nothing is too good to Bay about it. " Name given by Postum Co. , Battle Creek , IVashington correspondence : Theodore Roosevelt has been duly Inaugurated President of the United States. lie pronounced the oath of of fice with impressive solemnity as he stood before the white-haired Chief Justice on the Capitol plaza Saturday afternoon , and then reverently kissed the Bible opened before him. That was the final act of the making of a President , after the people had ex pressed their will at the polls more than four months before , and the elec toral college had declared the will of the people in Congress three months later. There were intermediate steps and many formalities , but this simple act of the taking of the oath to pre serve , protect and defend the consti tution of the United States was the I culminating act by which Theodore Roosevelt placed the crown of autlior- i ity upon his head and became the chief ' executive of over 7G,000uuU people. It falls to comparatively few people to behold such a spectacle as that which those on the plaza saw before them ns the President took the oath of office. In front , acres and acres of humanity , with upturned faces. In tives and upon the ornamental lamp posts decorations of human form and 'shape. Clambering over the statuary which graces the portico of the grand est of all national statehouses. hun dreds of adventurous youths and men. High upon the noble dome , peering over hazardous ledges , peeping out from every porthole in the glass roof , still other representatives of Ameri cans who will see or die. In the background of this vast pic ture the beautiful library of Congress , fit monument to the artistic and edu cational instincts of a people who cs- ' corted to the executive chair their | twenty-seventh President in a little i more than a hundred years of national 1 lift a library which takes first rank hi all the world of beauty of archi tecture and adornment. Surrounding this building , the pride of the national capital and m every direction as far as vision goes , could be seen the glint 1of 1 steel , the flying mane of cavalry i horses , the shimmer of the uniforms ' of the troops , Federal and State , alike ' prepared to defend the common coun- try , but waiting in patience to do es i cort honor. The inspiring program was carried out in all of its interesting details. In j the swift panorama of the day fol- i lowed in succession the stately presi dential procession from White House to Capitol , escorted by troops ; the in stallation of Mr. Fairbanks as Vice President and the new Senators ; the taking of the solemn oath of office by jir. Roosevelt on the Capitol front ; the delivery of the inaugural address be fore the great host of the sovereign people ; the gorgeous parade through Washington's avenues , spangled with flags , and lined with cheering thous ands , and the review of the marching battalions by the President in front of the executive mansion.

The most imposing , if not impres sive , portion of the inaugural ceremo nies undoubtedly took place in the United States Senate chamber , and was witnessed by 2,000 people. This was the swearing in of the new Viee- President and the inauguration of the Senate for another term of Congress. These ceremonies were very simple in themselves , but the formality with which they were invested , their excl3- sivcness and the gathering of distin guished men made it an occasion of peculiar interest. There were gathered all that is con sidered great in a republic. There were the representatives of the highest leg islative bodies in the world , the Sen ate and House of Representatives of the United States ; there was the high est tribunal in the world , the Supreme Court of the United States ; there were men who would hold the highest elec tive offices in the world , the President and Vice President of the United States of America. In addition there were the represen tatives of every civilized government the public is but little interested in , because a limited number can see them. But the parade is for all. Many saw it from the stands which were erected along Pennsylvania avenue , on which seats could be obtained at from $1 to $25 each. These stands were so numerous that a temporary sawmill was built opposite the White House to provide the lumber for them. One of them had a seating capacity of 6,000. But those who occupied seats on the stands and in the windows were a small number compared to the thous ands who lined the curbs , and shouted themselves hoarse. They had much to look upon. Washington has seen many splendid parades , but no such variety of uniforms ever appeared on the streets as was seen this year. General O. 0. Howard and staff rode at the head. Next came Squadron A , of New York , followed by the Presi dential party and the escort of Rough Riders. Then followed the military companies , including regulars , militia and independent companies. There was similarity of uniform in the mill- VICE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. 1I I blazed gloriously at night , and in the magnificently decorated pension build ing youth and beauty , official power and political fame united in the bril- I liant inauguration ball as a crowning demonstration. This year's inauguration day was perhaps the most notable and spectac ular event of its kind in the history of the nation. The popularity of Presi dent Roosevelt was expressed at the polls ; it was demonstrated in pictur- esqueness and enthusiasm in connec tion with his taking the oath of office. It seemed fitting that a record-break ing President should have a record- breaking inauguration. In splendor it eclipsed the best of the past and the crowds were larger than ever before. Every estimate placed the number of visitors above 200,000. The highest previous record is 130,000. The capac ity of Washington to entertain a crowd was taxed to the limit , and some had to pay dear for their entertain ment. Some rooms brought $40 for the day. on the face of the earth gathered to do honor to the administration of the United States. There were also gath ered wealth , beauty and brains of the country in the gallery. Distinguished and noted men and women endured the crush of the crowded corridors to be present at this national event. Outside the crowds surged around the capital and filled the great avenue loading thereto. Outside there was cheering incessant over the statesmen who passed and the military and civic organizations that gathered , but in side the capitol , beneath the { Treat dome , there was an impressive silence as the Senators gravely gathered in the hall , for there is solemnity as well as enthusiam in the inauguration of a President. The great inaugural parade was. of course , the spectacular event in which everybody was most interested. It be gan at about 2 o'clock , after the in augural address had been delivered. There are various ceremonies in con nection with an inauguration whicxi tia brigades and the regulars , but the monotony was broken by the scarlet , gold , white , blue and buff of the inde pendent companies. There were cadets and midshipmen , the latter to the number of TOO comprising the battal ion from Annapolis. There were Fili pinos and Porto Ricans in the uniform of Uncle Sam. The non-military section , comprising campaign clubs and organizations made up specially for this occasion , were headed by a band of To pieces , followed by the Conkling Uncomlition- als of Utica. N. Y. . to the number of ir > o. wearing uniforms of white and black , and carrying silk flairs. In this division were 30 miners , carrying their miners * lamps and dressed in the garb of the mine. They were from Wilkcs- barre , Pa. , and represented the miners who are enthusiastic for the President because of his interference in the mi ners' strike. Geronimo and his baud of Apaches , Sheriff Builock. of South Dakota , with a troupe of cowpunch- ers and a company of converted ban dits were in the same column with bankers , lawyers , writers and every type of genteel life as represented by > political clubs from all over the coun try. try.The The inaugural ball was the leading social event. It was briefer than usual for it had to stop at midnight. The fioral work was on a more elaborate scale than ever before , and resulted in making the ball as important , inter esting and altogether enjoyable an event as the muchly advertised parade. Royal palms , with leaves 25 feet long , were brought up from Porto Rico and challenged the orchids and roses and smilax and ferns for the attention and admiration of the multitude. On the upper balcony of the interior court were placed evergreen trees 20 feet high and everywhere there was a trac ery of greens , illuminated by tiny elec tric light bulbs , of one caudle power Overhead , instead of a canopy effect , the artists endeavored to imitate a beautiful Italian sky. The color scheme was bright on the first floor , to add as much as possible to the effect of brilliancy. The color was softened as the decorators worked upward , until by degrees it gave an open-air effect at the top. All along the balconies were strips of laurel , caught up with wreaths. In front of the first balcony , at the top of the columns , Avere placed large placques of azalias and other brilliant flowers , with vines and greens radiat ing therefrom. Here and there were pendant baskets of ferns. THE PRESIDENT'S OATH. The Obligation Wiiich Mr. Roosevelt Took Saturday. The oath of ollice taken by the in coming President of the United States is the shortest and the simplest required of any ruler on earth. It is prescribed by the Constitution , and is as follows : "I do solemnly swear ( or allirm ) that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States , and , to the best of my ability , protect , preserve and defend the Constitution of the United States. " This oath is slowly repeated by the President-elect after the chief justice of the Supreme Court , in the presence of the public , upon a platform erected in front of the main door on the eastern side of the capitol. After the President has taken the oath he delivers his inau gural address. While the oath is being repeated the President-elect and the chief justice face each other and hold with their right hands , between them , a Bible , furnished by some person interested or especially procured for the occasion , becomes the property of the President after it has been appropriately inscribed and sealed by the chief clerk of the Su preme Court. President Cleveland , at both inaugurations , took the oath upon a little red pocket Bible which was given him by his mother when he left home as a boy. President Harrison used a Bible that had boon presented to him by a Sunday school class iu Indianapolis. At the close of the oath the President elect bows his head and kisses the open page of the book , and it has been cus tomary for him or for his wife or a friend to select some appropriate pas- sago at which the book shall he opened nnrl the verse upon which he shall press his lips. Sometimes , when those inter ested forsret or neglect to choose a pas sage , the Bible is opened , at random , but the clerk of the Supreme Court is al ways careful to note and mark the ex act place where the lips touched the page. Mrs. August Krause , acquitted of the murder of her husband at Worthington. Minn. , has brought suit against the Mod ern Woodmen for a death benefit , which was refused payment owing to the pecu liar death of Krau.se. Federal Judge Anderson enjoined the ? city of Indianapolfe from enforcing an | ordinance recently passed to compel the Indianapolis Gas Company to sell fuel sas at 50 cents per thousand.

Brown had St. Vitus' dance. She finally got over the most noticeable features of the strange ailment , but was still troubled by very uncomfortable feen- sations , which sue recently described as follows : " One hand , half of my face , and half of my tongue would get cold and numb. These feelings would come on , last for about ten minutes , and then go away , several times u day. Besides I would have palpitation of the heart , and my strength would get so low that I could hardly breathe. As time went on these spt-lls kept coming oftener and growing worse. The numbness would sometimes extend over half my bod } * . " "How did you get rid of them ? " "It seemed for a long time as if I never could get rid of them. It was not until about six years ago that I found a remedy that had virtue enough in it to reach my case. That was Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People , and they have since en tirely cured me. " " Did it take long to effect a cure ? " "No ! I hadn't taken the whole of the first box before I saw a great improve ment. So I kept on using them , growing better all the time.until I had taken eight boxes and then I was perfectly well , and I have remained in good health ever since with one exception. " "What was that ? " " Oh ! that was when I had the grip. 1 was in bed , under the doctor's care , for two weeks. When I got up I had dreadful attacks of dizziness. I had to grasp hold of something or I would fall right down. I was just miserable , and when I saw the doctor was not helping me , I began to take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills again. In a short time they cured me of that trouble too , and I have never had any dizzy spells since. " Mrs. Brown lives at Xo. 170. > DeWitfc street , Mattoon , Illinois. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are without an equal for the rapid and thorough cure of nervous pros tration. They expel the poison left in the system "by such diseases as grip and are the best of tonics in all cases of weak ness. They are sold by every druggist. His Apostolic Majesty. The title of "apostolic majesty" is borne by the Emperor of Austria as King of Hungary. Hungary was ruled by dukes from its conquest by the Magyars to the year 1000 , the regal title being as sumed first by Vaik , whose education had been intrusted by his father , Gey- za , who had married a Christian prin cess , to Adalbert , bishop of Prague. On succeeding his father Vaik em braced and established Christianity , applied for and received from Pope Sylvester II. the title of "apostolic king , " was crowned as Stephen I. and afterward known as St. Stephen. The title was renewed by Clement XII. in ITHS and , though abolished in 1S4S , was reassumed as "apostolic majesty" in JSfil and restricted in 1SGS to the Austrian emperor in his character as king of Hungary. The privilege of being preceded by a cross bearer was granted with the original title. London Standard. FACE LIKE RAW BEEF. Up with n Terrible Itchinjj Eczema Speedily Cured by Ctiticura.
