That the committee will respect tlio wishes

It Is now under discussion whether or not
the public buildings wilt be'Illuminated that
night. If congress makes an appropriation
for this object electricity will bo used aiU
the beautiful whlto edifices of the Treasury ,
whlto house , patent office , tapltol , Statp ,
War nnd Navy departments will bo aglow
with fctroaras thrown upon them by hugo

of thu decorating will bo done In this line
and hern that the largo lights that are at
the points In thu grounds will ba used to
Bhcxl radiance on the hugo dome , so that It
will tUand out In enowy relief against the
blacl.neca of the night sky , It la also
prouaUo that the odlflca may bs enolrclod
by mjrlada of rows of tiny whlto llghtc1 ,
which will faintly outline the building.
On the same- evening the display of fire
works will take place on the grounds baik
ot the executive mansion on tl" parking
tnown ag the white lot. About $2,500 hna
jeon expended in buying fireworks and ( or
two hours there will bo an limnenso display
ot rockets and similar bombs , no designs

three large windows rating at $400. Thou
sands of dollars \\lll be spent In renting
windows , \vhllo the larger part of the crowd
will be standing on the streets to iieo thu

Blon. With the doling Ot the ball and the
djlng out of the fireworks Iho old president
goes out of ofnco and the new takea his

that Mr. Cleveland and family will leave

the ball direct to the executive mansion.
And eo , with music and wassail , the old

SPECULATING ON THE WnATUHfl.
Kverjbody who expects to attend the In
augural ceremonies Is hoping for good
weather. The rule seems to bo to have
about Iho worst storms of the winter occur
during the Inaugural season. Mr. Moore ,
chief ot the weather bureau , has been asked
to predict the sort oil weather that will prevail -
vail on the ith of March. It Is a Httlo beyond -
yond his power to do so , but ho hay com
piled a statement of the kind of weather
that has obtained on the 4th of March since
the establishment ot the bureau , in 1S71.
There are official records for twenty-six
jeais , and they show that during that period
there have been plxtcon tnlr or clear dajs
on the -itli of March and ten -libs that wcro
very stouiiy. During thnt tlmil there have
bean six Inauguration dajs , four of which
wcro decidedly Inclement. The first was
the second Inauguration ot General Grant ,
In 1S7J , when the thermometer regliUrcd
within foui degrees ofcro , and thn parade
was badly demoralized on account of the
Intnnso cold. At the Inaugural ball , which
was held 'In a temporary frame structure ,
women danced In their wraps and men In
their o\cicoat8. Hajcs * Inauguration day
In 1S77 was a fair daj , with the thermometer
at GO and a good wind blowing from the
northAebt There was" light rain early In
the morning ,
The day of Garflpld's Inauguration , March
J , liSl , waa very disagreeable , the ther
mometer bc-lng about freezing point and snow
and rain prevailing during the forenoon.
These who attended Mr. Cle\eland's first
Inauguration , In 1885 , will never forget the
magnificent weather of that day. The temperature -
peraturo was GS high and 3G low. 'A ' light
wind was blowing and the sky was per
fect ! j cloudless. A moio perfect day for a
public ceiemony could not bo imagined
Tour ycais later General Harrison was In
augurated 'In a steady downpour of rain ,
which had begun two dajs before and con
tinued ull through the Inauguration day.
In 1S93 the "Cleveland weather" failed
The morning , and up to 2 o clock in the
afternoon , was very cold and disagreeable ,
a heavy snow falling most of the tlmo. A
high , chill j wind prevailed throughout the
day and the public stands elected alonpj the
streets for the convenience of those vvlt-
noialng the parade \\cre scaicely more than
one-third occupied. The 4th of March dur
ing the last three jeais has been a typical
Washington w Intel daj. but that Is no guar
antee that good weather will prevail on
that date tills year , although the prayers of
the people are all for sunshine and comfort

People who live In large cities where the
struggle for existence whets the Inventive
genius and stimulates competition often
learn the truth of the old saw : "Things are
seldom v. hat they seem , " sajs the New York
Tribune. Shams and imitations of all kinds
are placed upon the market , and the imita
tions range in all branches and lines of
business , from sklm-mllk which masquciades
as cream , to the piece of glass which haste
to do service as a "real diamond. " These
frauds are transparent to a great pait of
the population , and the sham Jew eh y , sham
fut nnd the humbugs generally ae palmed
oft on that class of the population which
would rather have an Imitation than nothing ,
or upon the rural visitor who lives In bliss
ful Ignoianco of many tricks of the various
trades But some of the great metropolitan
buildings which have been erected recently
have within their walls bharns in the way
of decorations which are so well made , so
artistically constructed that they arc looked
upon as genuine by men to whom the avei-
age sham Is an open book. In a building
which was recently erected in the residence
part of the city there are groups nnd col
umns , which look to the casual observer like
shafts of highl } eolored marble , seamed and
veined so intricately and colored so har-
monloualy that a person with appreciation
for the beautiful could not help noticing
thorn and pialsing their beauty.
"Hut they are not marble , " said ono who
knew all about the builder's shame "They
are not oven stone The hlghl > polished col
umns nro made of iron and decorated to
imitate marble "
"But the surface feels like stone and not
at all like metal "
"It is not metal , nor Is It stone , " was the
expert's deply Over the surface of the Iron
column there is a coating , the chief Ingre
dient of which is a powdered marble This
coating Is several Inches thick , and becomus
a solid , homogeneous mass , subccrtlDlo to
the highest polish , and when It has been
rubbed down and painted Its gencial ap
pearance will deceive most people. "
In the same building there are cornices and
panels which seem to the casual obsuivei
masterpieces of the catver's ait , but the
garlands and groups of fruits and Mowers
which appear to bo stone and Ivory vi'd ' pol
ished wood aio only planter or pieparcd
paper pulp coated with colois which aid In
the work of deception Ceilings which rep
icsent great areas of carved and chiseled
stone are only plaster , and the fluted col
umns surmounted by highly ornate capitals
which stand near the great mako-bolltivo
monoliths may be unmasked with the prick
of a pin and shown to be plain , ordinary
wood , disguised and masqueraded unde-r
colors and tints artistically applied.
I'ho "Altcdeut&ehe Dlerstubs , " the Dutch
taproom and the old English banqueting hall ,
with tht'lr dark-wood furniture , unfinished
ceilings and maetilve carvings , have all been
icproduccd In some of the modern melio
polltan buildings , and one of the moat re-
rout of these furnishes an artistic sample of
the decorator's ability to deceive Over an
open fireplace there is hood , wnlch looks
like ft pli cof carve ! wood , black with ago
The Konoril design Is carried along on the
top of an ivjually dark wainscoting which on-
clruleu the room , Iho knowing man who
shows all this to the ilsltor whom he favom
with his ro'illdeico lovesls the fact that the
hood over the fireplace , Iho mantle carvings
and the ornamental wainscoting are not wood

was produc" ! by wcll-mKed paint and not
by tlmo.
'Hut th ? rnfteis overhead , " said the
visitor , pointing to the exposed places , "thoy

"Why , " eald the guide , "thoy are made of

It was said In explanation that the plaster
rafters were not , iut in to save money , anj
that hardwood might iiavo bean used without
extra expenoc. Hut bj the use cf wood the
weight upon thv f'amo would have exceeded
the architect's calculations ; hence the
lighter material was resorted to , and In that
Installed the deception was prompted by the
builder's precaution.
"In all modern buildings , " eald a decorator

The Washington correspondent of the St.
Louis Globe-Democrat gives an Interesting
summary of the report ot Mr. Muth , American
consul at Mndgcburg , Germany , concerning
the operation of an electric plant on a farm
near that city :
The motive power Is furnished by n small
brook , which passes the farm at a distance
of about 050 feet and drives a turbine
wheel. About 1,630 feet above the wheelhouse -
house a dam has been erected In the brook
for the purpose of obtaining the necessary
fall and force the. water Into a canal lead
ing to the turbine. This canal la partly cut
Into the ground and partly banked , eo that
nt the turbine n fall of Ci feet is obtained
The volume ot water changes from 18 cubic
feet a second In very-dry seasons4o 106 to
141 cubic feet a second In very wet seasons
With an average of 35 cubic feet the tur
bine Is guaranteed to furnish sixteen horse
power , while In reality It furnishes eighteen
nnd nt high water twenty-one to twenty-two
horse-power. The turbine drives n Schubert
dynamo machine , which develops all the elec
tricity needed. Trom this dynamo the cur
rent goes to the so-called switch board ,
whence It Is distributed to the various sta
tions. ( AV'lres of different sizes , .strung on
poles 1 , conduct light and power currents to
the vard , thence to the dwelling , and main
building , stables , barns , other farm buildings
and i garden. There are In the dwelling nnd
main i building 100 Incandescent lights ; in
the I other buildings seventy , nnd In the yard
and garden , twelve , besides two arc lamps
In the turblno house there Is al , o an accumulator
later 1 a battery consisting of sixty-six large
glass | cells , with plates ot lead In diffused
sulphuric acid , which serves to accumulate
eltctilclty. < During the day , when the ma
chines i are not In operation on the jard ,
this t accumulator Is loaded and contains
then sulllclcnt electricity to feed the light , ?
from ; evening , after working hours , till the
next j morning. A small machine can also be
attached j to the accumulator and worked from
Its power. By caieful handling , the accumulator
later has furnished sufficient electricity to
last five days without being reloaded. To
operate the machinery , there are two elec
tric motors , ono of ten porso-powcr and the
other of two and a half horse-power. The
small motor Is fixed nnd drives the pumptS
for the stables , a istravv cutter , a turning
lathe , a grind stone and a large band saw ,
which can cut logs of thickness up to 17 %
Inches , the latter , however , only with the aid
of the larger motor. The larger motor Is
mounted on Iron wheels , and , together with
the threshing machine , can be put Into any
barn , to be connected there with the electric
current by a small cable. The silos are built
in a semicircle around the last barn , and
can bo reached , to a distance of COO feet , by
cable attachments. The distance ot the
motor from the turbine Is then about 1,800
feet. The sjstcm of handling the motors
Is so simple that any farm hand can read
ily understand It. The turning of a lever
admits the electric current , which Immedi
ately puts the motor In operation to Its full
power. Ono machinist , who Is stationed at
the turblno house , superintends the entire
plant , handles the turbine and dynamo ,
and , from tlmo to time Inspects the motors
when In operation. One intelligent farm
hand can attend the threshing machine and
the large motor.
COST OP THE PLANT.
Owing to loss of power In the conduits , an
average of sixteen horse-power is required
for threshing , twelve horse-power for sawing
and three horse-power for running the small
motor. With an average crop of fi.OOO hun
dredweight of winter grain and 7,700 hun
dredweight of summer grain , and to furnish
the needed quantity of wood , the total power
used Is equivalent to 34,000 horses for one
hour. The cost of the woiks and the plant
was as follows :
Uirtliwoik , Including dam nnd
bridge $1,901
Turbine. Including freight nnd
mounting MM
Muchlnerv building- , Including founda
tion 1.180
Electrical Plant 7,140
Sundty expenses 711
Total $12370
The total expense of running the plant , In
cluding interest on the Investment for works
and plant , Is $1,428 for one yen. The 34,000
horse-power used during the year cost $1,428 ,
or about 4 1-15 cents per horse-power per
hour , and , as ten Incandescent lamps repre
sent ono horse-power , the burning hour per
lamp costs about four-tenths of 1 cent. As
with an average working time of nine nn <
one-half hours , 70,000 horse-power could eas
lly bo developed during the year , If therp
were any use therefor , the cost per horse
power could bo reduced one-half.
A comparison of cost of operation by elec-
tilclty and other power la made. Formerly
S3CO cwts of grain were thrashed by steam
requiring 400 hours , or fortj-flve dnjs , and
3040 cwts. by a Goepel macnlne , requir
ing eight horsca and COO hours , or seventy
days. The time occupied for pumping and
straw cut tin i ? was aboiit the same. For saw
ing loga Into boards arid Kindling wood , $233
a year wcro paid on an average The total
cost by the old method * JtUs $1713.60 , This
ehovvs a difference of ( $285-60 a year In favor
ot the electric plant. SVn&ther advantage Is ,
thnt now four horses canbo _ dispensed with
and the remaining hetrBeo , arc alwajs ready
for use , How great this'advantage Is , es
pecially during the harvMt , or while the
fields are being manured and prepared for
the winter , need hard < y be mentioned Other
advantages arc , that the- electric light Is
cleaner , safer and moro agreeable. The fact
tint power Is nlwnjs ready enables the
farmer to employ his hands nt once In thresh
ing In ease bad weather or some other reason
prevents them from w"orkfng In the fields.
The disadvantages are , that In a dry tsiim-
mer the water may run low nnd thus occa
sion Interruptions In the running of the ma
chinery ; but , mi during the dry season few
lights arc ncrded nnd the largo motor is not
used , this disadvantage Is really trifling.
Sufficient water can nlwaja be stored to fur
nish power for loading the accumulator nnd
working the small motor. In winter , dis
turbances may bo caused by the clogging of
ICP , which , however , If occurring nt nil , can
easily bo remedied by n few hours' work.
The currents u'cd are all of low tension
and harmless to human life. High-tension
currents require moro caution , but could
bo used to more advantage on larger farms.
The cost of the machinery would be effected
In the wiring , becausa high-tension currents
require thinner wires than lovv tenslon cur
rents. Furthermore , the loss of power In the
former Is very small , being lesa than 5 per
cent at n distance of 1M miles , while the loss
In the latter Is 5 per cent at a distance of
650 feet , 10 per cent at 984 feet , 15 per cent
at 1312 feet and 25 per cent at 1968 feet.
High-tension currents could also be used for
driving plowing nnd other agricultural ma-
chlno ? at a greater dUtancc from the form.
WHO HACK OUT.
They linn AMII > I Hlilo TlipuiMel * ex or
lllMHIIIII1 Slll'l't'lllONH ,
Possibly every man about to marry ex
periences a novel Inward flutter when the
critical hour nntvcs and brings the altar
Into sight , sajs a writer In Happy Thought ,
but It Is not often that ono hears of a pros
pective husband whoso uervo deserts htm
to the extent that ho fights shy of the cere
mony at the last moment , nnd allows the
bride to leave the church without having
changed her name. Hitches of this start
ling kind do , however , now and then occur.
The bridegroom has not the courage to face
the public ordeal , nnd the situation becomes
both humorous and dramatic.
A most nri'Uslng attack of "nerves" oi
this order was witnessed by a largo crowd
at a country church not long since. The
bridegroom was late In arriving ; when nt
length ho come abreast of the church gates ,
heated and flurried , the sight of his white-
robed life partner In the midst of an Im
posing pirtj fairly scattered what courage
ho hid churned for the occasion He
turne1 ! nnd made off acioss country as fast
as his shak'ng legs would carry him. The
crowd anl a number of his Indignant
friends pursuing him , ho took refuge up a
tree , and no remonstrance would induce
him to descend and go through with the
ceremony. He paid rather dearly for his
cowaidice , however , for the bride promptly
Jilted him , nnd walked to the same church
with a bolder man a few months later.
At anothei church In ths neighborhood a
number of people who had flocked to see n
popular local couple made ono were cu
riously disappointed. When It carne to the
turn of the bridegroom to glvo utterance
to his vows he was found to be tongue-tied
by sheer nervousness The longer they
waited for him to recover the worse ho be
came , and finally , whlto as a ghost , he
wheeled about and ran oiit of the building
As no amount of Jeers 6r encouragement
served to induce him to attempt the ordeal
a second time , he perforce remained In single
misery. i
Plenty of humorous Instances have been
( recorded where the Intended husband brave
enough In his wooing , has found himself
unable to stand ana be publicly married
Ono gentleman became so unnerved at sight
of the swelling assembly and the preparations
that he slipped Into the vestry and locked
himself in until the registrar lost patience ,
nmf the ceremony had to be abandoned.
In another case a mlsjfllfg bridegroom was
discovered locked In his bed room at home ,
and sheer force had to bo used by his
friends before he could bo Induced to walk
to the church. As It turned out , ho was
too late ; the bride felt herself Justified in
declining to fulfill her part ot the contract
with so diffident a partner.
Uut perhaps as unique an example of
what may bo termed "altar fright" as any
known was one which caused quite a sensa
tion In a midland town some years ago The
circumstances were peculiar enough to
bear icpetltlon. A jonng man , standing
at the altar with the future pnitlclpant of
his Jojs and sorrows , suddenly fainted when
asked to declare his willingness to take a
wife , and had to bo carried home in a cab
A few- weeks Ii ter iTe essojed to enter the
lists of matrimony with moro success , but ,
strange to say , his nervousness again
reached such a pitch that he swooned at
