A MEMORABLE DAY IN THE
NATION’S HISTORY.
President Clereland’s Inaugural Ad¬
dress—The Great Ball.
Grover Cleveland, of New York.thrice
nominated for president of the United
States and twice elected, was, on Situr-
day, successfully inducted into that high
office for h s second term, with all ap¬
propriate ceremo.lies and the gathering

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND,
of a mighty multitude and with the ac¬
companiment of a blinding snowstorm.
But notwithstanding every disadvantage
of weather, the last greatest than the
first.
There are four great leading features
of inauguration day: The closing hours
of congress, into which so much law¬
making and history are frequently
crowded; the ride of the retiring presi¬
dent and tho president and vice presi¬
dent-elect with their military escort
from the white house to the capitol to
lay down and take up the reins of power
r< spectively; the pageant of the return¬
ing procession and review after the cere¬
monies of inauguration are over; and
the inaugural ball at night.
Had the atmospheric condition been
anything like favorable instead of being
as bad as could possibly be, there would
probably have been sixty thousand men
and a number of women marching on
riding in the parade, as against twenty-
five thousand in 1885. They were all

waiting to fall in line but at the last
moment many of the organizations were
compelled to desist from participation.
Nevertheless the occasion was made mem¬
orable by the vast attendance.
Disappointed but undaunted by tho
snow, great hosts poured out to partici¬
pate in the second inaugural of Grover
Cleveland. The old scenes were repeat¬
ed, the massing of humanity, rank and
file, surging crows with thousands fring¬
ing the roof line, the bouyant of legions
breasting the storm and marching into
the tangle of streets for places in the
grand parade, numberless knots and
lines of soldiery, gleaming bayonets,
ringing bugle calls, the rattle of drums,
prancing horses, miles of bunting heavy,
with snow and ice flapping in the air.
On the great standing terraced wooden
stands that lined the avenue people were
packed like cigarettes in a bunch, shud¬
the dering with cold, waiting impatiently for
pageantry.
The galleries built in front of the build¬
ings were black with people and the
housetops were friuged with them. Boys
climbed trees and hung like fruit on the
bare limbs. They clambered like monkeys
up ing telegraph frames. poles and perched on awn¬
This was the condition of things at 11
o’clock. From that time on, in and out
of tho capitol a vague system was per¬
ceptible through the distracting confu¬
sion. While the troops and civic organ¬
izations were marching back of the capitol
the ceremonies inside were going on. The
gallerijs of the senate were banked to the
doors with beautiful and gorgeously
dressed ladies.
Then came the judges of the supreme
court,their rotund figures outlined in the
generous folds of their glossy satin gowDs.
Following them, Speaker Crisp led the
members and members-elect of the house
to their places.
There was a slight pause when Vice
President-elect Stevenson appeared at
the main door on the arm of Senator
McPherson. A moment later Mr. Cleve¬
land and Mr. Harrison appeared at the
door arm in arm. A slight wave or ap¬
plause swept across the chamber. The
two men who have twice been pitted
against each other in a great national con¬
test, marched down the aisles together.
After the swearing in of Mr. Steven¬
son, and the delivery of his inaugural in
a clear, deep voice, the procession form¬
ed and marched to the platform in front
of the capitol, where Mr. Cleveland was
to take the oath. Tho snow had ceased
falling, but the wind was blowing half a
gale as the head of the procession
emerged from the entrance. On tbs

a groat shout went up from fifty thou-
tands throats as the procession moved
down to take their places on the plat¬
form. The cold wind kept many of the
ladies back but the judges of the su¬
preme court, the senators and represen-
tives heavily muffled in their overcoats
braved the storm. Some of Mr. Cleve¬
land’s friends wanted him to deliver his
inaugural inside, but he would not lis¬
ten to it.
After all had seated Mr. Cleveland
arose from his seat between Mr. Harri-
son and Chief Justice Fuller and began
his inaugural address. The cold wind
wa3 blowing fiercely in his face but Mr.
Cleveland breasted it sturdily and man-
fully. For twenty minutes he spoke,
and so penetrating was his voice in the
teeth of the wind that much of it was
beard, and fifty thousand throats ap¬
plauded the striking points in the ad¬
dress.
After it was over President Cleveland
and ex President Harrison entered an
open carriage drawn by six bay horses,
gaily caparison and led the way down
the avenue. The procession which mov¬
ed down the Appaiu way of the republic
was the greatest civic pageant that ever
marched along that historic thorough¬
fare. More than fifteen thousand civi¬

many more. For five hours the parade
continued to stretch its endless line
down the avenue. The onlookers.
The streets continued to be packed.
Yet night came on apace. Out at the pen¬
sion office in a blaze of light the great
ball went on and spinning couples waltzed
far into the night. Washington could
not feed the crowds, police the streets or
provide hotel accommodations, Hotel
keepers were distracted, barkeepers went
wild, telegraph operators piled messages
feet high. Until midnight the crowds
pressed up and down the streets.
THE INAUGURAL ADDRESS.
The inaugural address was a9 follows:
My Fellow Citizens In obedience to the
mandate of my countrymen I am about to ded¬
icate myself to their service under the sanction
of a solemn oatl „ Deeply moved by the ex¬
pression which of confidence and personal attachment
has called me to this service, 1 am sure
my gratitude can make no better return than
the pledge I now give before God and these
witnesses of an unreserved and complete devo¬
tion to the interests and welfare of those who
have honored me. I deem it fitting on this oc¬
casion whi e indicating the opinions I hold
concerning public questions of present import¬
ance, to also britfly refer to the existence of
certain conditions and tendencies among our
people which seem to menace the integrity While*every and
usefulness of thtir government.
American citizen must contemplate with the
utmost pride and enthusiasm the growth and
expansion of our country, sufficiency of onr
institutions to stand against the rudest shocks
of violence, the wonderful thrift and
enterprise of our people, and demon¬
strated the superiority of a fne govern¬
ment, it behooves us to coustantly watch for
every symptom of inaiduoas infirmity that
threatens who in our confidence national of vigor sturdy and health the "strong
man courts
the sternest activities of life a*nd rejoices in
tho hardihood of consiaut labor, may still have
lurking near his vitals an unheeded disease
that dooms him to sudden collapse. It cannot
be doubted that onr stupendous achievements
as a people and our country’s robust strength
have given riss to heedtessness of those laws
governing our national health, which we can
no more evade than human iife can escape the
laws of Go 1 and nature. Manifestly noiliing is
more vital to our supremacy as a nation and to
the beneficient purpos e of onr government
thau a sound and stable currencyU Its expos¬
ure to degredation should at once arouse to ac¬
tivity the most enlightened s:atesmansh;p; the
danger of depreciation in purchasing power of

In dealing with onr present embarrassing
situation as related to this subject we wilt be
wise if we temper oar confidence and faith in
our national strength and resources with a
frank concession that ev n these will not per¬
mit us to defy with impuiy the exhorsbie laws
of finance and trade-
At the same time, in o :r efforts to adjust the

At . the , concusion of his . remarks Mr.
Cleveland turned around to the chief
justice, who was attired m the roues of
his office to take the oath prescribed by
the constitution. Lhiet Justice Fuller
and other persons near the president re-
moved their hats, and with bared heads
listened to the taking of the oath of
office, ’Which was pronounced oy Chief
Justice Fuller in a clear voice, Mr. Cleve-
land assenting to it by bowing his head
and kissing the Bible. The oath taken

constitutional oath and reads as follows:

serve, protect and defend the constitution of

EXERCISES IH THE SENATE.
The closing scenes in the senate were
doors very interesting. From the time the
opened at 10 o’clock until
they were closed on account of lack of
room at II o’clock, the people poured in.
The galleries were packed and jammed
until standing room was not to be found.
The diplomatic corps gallery was full to
overflowing. The space allotted to Mr.
Cleveland’s party was soon filkd. Mrs.
Cleveland arrived early. Her entree was
so quiet that few people knew she was
present until some time after. Just back
of Mrs. Clevelaud was Mrs. Vice President
Stevenson, with her three daught¬
ers. Then came the d fferent la¬
dies of the cabinet, and friends. Early
in the morning every member of the
senate, who could possibly be in attend¬
ance, was on hand. Everything was
bustle and confusion. Every few min¬
utes bills signed by the president were
presented, immediately followed bill af¬
ter bill from the house. Business was
being rushed. Finally, the diplomatic
corps were announced and shortly after¬
wards filed in. Every country, nation,
monarchy, principality and republic was
represented. followed the The chief diplomatic justice, corps was
by the asso¬
ciate justices and the ex associate jus¬
tices. Then came the governors of
states, ex-senators, judges of the courts
of claims and others. These were fol¬
lowed by the members of the bouse.
By this time the floor of the senate
was crowded. Then came Presi-
dent Harrison and Vice Presi-
<!ent Morton, immeoiatefy rollowea by
Vice President-elect Stevensou and Presi¬
dent Cleveland. Then Vice-Piesidebt
Morton administered the oath of office
to his successor, and yielded to him the
chair of presiding officer. A special ses¬
sion of the senate of the fifty third con¬
gress was then formally opened with
prayer by Chairman Butler. Vice-Presi¬
dent Stevenson rose und addressed the
senate:
“Senators,” he began, responsibilities “deeply impressed
with a sense of its and of its
dignity, I now enter upon the discharge of
the duties of the high office to which I have
been ca'led. I am not unmindful of the fact
that among the occupants of this chair during
the one hundred and four years of our consti¬
tutional history have been' state men eminent
alike for their talents and their tireless devotion
to public duty. Adams, Jefferson and Calhoun
honored its incipiency during the <arly days of
the republic, while Arthur, Hendricks and Mor¬
ton have at a later period of our history shed
luster upon the office of president of the most
augqpt deliberative assembly known to men. I
assume the duties of the great trust confided to
me with no feeling of seif-confidence, but
rather with that of grave distrust of my ability
satisfactorily to meet its requirements. I may
be pardoned for saying that it shall be my near¬
est endeavor to discharge the important du¬
ties which lie before me with no less of impar¬
tiality ity. Earnestly and courtesy invoking than of firmness and fidel¬
the co-operation, the
forbearance, the charity of each of its members,
I now enter upon my duties as presiding officer
of the senate.”
THE SENATE’S EXTRA 8ES8ION.'
As he closed his remarks Mr. Steven¬
son directed the secretary to read the
president’s proclamation convening the
senate in extraordinary session. Mr.
McCook read the proclamation; then the
senators newly elected or re-elected, were
invited by the vice president to come
forward and take the oath of office.
They did so, and each escorted by his
colleague, and the oath wus solemly ad¬
ministered by the vice president, the
senators afterward subscribing the same
at the clerk’s desk. All the prelimina¬
ries having been duly disposed of, the
vice president directed the sergeant-at-
arms to proceed to the execution of the
order of the senate relatve to the inau¬
guration of the president of the United
States.
The procession to the east portico of
the capitol where Mr. Cleveland was to
be inaugurated was then begun.
After the inaugural ceremonies w< ro
over the senate returned to its chamber.
A committee was ordered to wait on the
president of the United States and t > in¬
form him that the senate was organized.
Messrs. Blackburn a d Allison were ap-
pVnted as such a committee, and at 2:10
o’clock the senate adjourned until Mon¬
day at noon.

PENSION BUILDING—WHERE THE INAUGURA¬
TION BALL WAS HELP.
THB INAUGURAL BALL.
By iong custom the inaugural ball has
grown to be almost as much a part of
the ceremonies of the day as the inaug¬
ural address itself. It is a quadrieonial
tribute paid by politics to society. The
great pension building presented a gav
scene S.turday night. Fancy a chamber
nearly one hundred yards in length,
more than forty yards in breadth and
fifty yards from the floor to the ceiling—
for such are the dimensions of the great
court where the ball was held. The ball

were consumed in the circuit of the ball-
| room and then Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland
j and their party went upstairs to their
! apartments and there received a large
j senators and representatives, foreign
ministers and officers of the army and
navy. The secretary of the navy, Mr.
Herbert, then joined the party with Miss
Herbert. The vice presidential party
arrived at the hour of 10 o’clock and
the circuit of the hall was made in a
manner similar to that of the presiden¬
tial party.
Mr. and Mrs. Stevenson, with their
son. daughters and friends who accom¬
panied them to Washington, thmi joined
the president ai d Mrs. Cleveland in their
rooms. President and Mrs. Cleveland
left the ballroom at half past 10 o’clock.
The S’evenson family remained later, as
did also several members of the party
who came with the Clevelands. Precise¬
ly at 12 o’clock the band struck up
“Home Sweet Home,” and the assem¬
blage quietly dispersed, The whole
proceedings were niarko ! by a staid and
stately decorum more characteristic of an
ancient minuet than of a modtru ball.
CYCLONE SWEPT.
Death anil Destruction in tie Comities ot
leriietlier, Troop ani Pike,
A Number of People Killed and Much
Property Destroyed.
A fearfully destructive cyclone swept
over Troup. Meriwether and Pike coun¬
ties Friday night.
At Greenville, Meriwether county, three-
fourths of the town was completely de¬
stroyed. The cyclone was preceded by
a brilliant electrical display that aroused
the fears of all. In a few minutes the
continuous lightning flishea were suc¬
ceeded by an ominous roaring sound, and
almost instantly the storm swept over the
ill-fated town on its mission of destruc¬
tion. In ten seconds the accumulations
of years were swept to the four winds of
the earth. Several people were caught
under the falling houses, bu 1 ', strange to
say, there was only one death in the
town from the cyclone.
In the lower part of Troup county the
storm played fearful havoc. Residences,
trees, houses baroes, fences, sheds—in
fact, almost everything standing was
blown down and torn to peices in the
track of the storm. Horses, mules and
cattle were killed by wholesale. No loss
of human life is reported.
SIX KILLED AT ODESSA.
Telephone advices from Odessa, Meri¬
wether county, state that there were only
three houses left standing and six per¬
sons killed. Odessa is a properous town
on the Macon and Birmingham railroad.
PIEDMONT WIPED OUT.
The little town of Piedmont, in Pike
county, was almost totally destroyed.
Only three houses are left standing and
fifteen lying in ruins, some with not one
piece of timber upon another. One
young lady, Miss Daisy Hawkins, was
killed instantly. Thirteen or fourteen
other persons are lying seriously injured,
some thought to be fatally. To see the
destroyed village you only wonder that
any of the inhabitants escaped alive.
THR0U9H THE COUNTRY.
One mile beyond Peidmont Dr. Harp’s
residence, outhouses, and barns were
qlown down, a complete wreck. On his
plantation one negro was killed and a
negro woman seriously injured. Beyond
Dr. Harp’s lived a man by the name of
Pressley. It is reported that he went to
the door when the wind began to blow
and no traces nave been found of him
since.
On the Thomaston road Mr. Andrew
Riviere was instantly killed and his wife
and daughter painfully injured. The
house was blown down and away so
that there is hardly a thing left to mark
where the house stood.
AU along the line of the storm there is
a vast amount of distress. From many
of the poor the last meal and the only
suit of clothes were swept away and
nothing left them but the drenched night
robes in which they had retired the night
before. The loss of property, not to say
anything of the suffering, is great and
cannot be estimated. The citizens who
have been out to fee and help the unfor¬
tunate give a most gloomy account.
A Cheap Paris JUstaura t.
They have what are known as tvrenty-
three-cent restaurants in Paris. “Please
bring me a Dapkin,’ said a customer to
the waiter. “Just now they are all in
use,” replied the waiter. “Please be

able.” “Then bring me a toothpick with
which to kill time,” said the customer.
“Impossible,” exclaimed the waiter;

For Sale.
Bill Nye advertises his cow for sale as
fellows: Owing to ill health, I will sell
at my residence in township nineteen,
range nineteen west, according to gov¬
ernment survey, one plush raspberry-col¬
ored cow, aged eight years. She is a
good milkster and not afraid of the cars
or anything else. She is of undaunted
courage and gives milk frequently. To
a man who does not fear death in any
form, she would be & great boon. She
is very much attached to her house at
present by means of a stay chain, but she
will be sold to anyone who will agree to
use her right. She is one-fourth short¬
horn and three-fourths hyena. I will
also threw in a double barrel shot gun
which goes with her. In May she gen¬
erally goes off somewhere for a week or
i wo, and returns with a tall, red calf,
with long, wobbly legs. Her name is
Rose, and I prefer to sell her to a non-

Agricultural Hints.
Waste of trifles eats like interest mon¬
ey in hard times.
A farm without a tool house is like
pants without pockets.
and Knowledge was never before so cheap
easy to get as now.
Dependence on a single crop may prove
a disappointmen.
No one yet knows the capacity of soil
or how to best treat it.
When his stock is not improving, the
farmer is falling behind.
Be punctual and save your own time
ns well as that of others.
Make the farm a home—the pleasant¬
est place in the world.
Best breeds do not insure most profit
without proper treatment.
Trust to tested breeds; let others ex¬
periment with the untried.

ening strength, nor make good the inferior work
of the cheaper powders, nor remove the impuri¬
ties which such powders leave in the food.
Where the best food is required, the Royal
Baking Powder only can be used.
The Great Missouri Botanical Garden.
The late Henry Shaw, of St. Louis,
was a wealthy man. At forty years of
age he retired from business with an am¬
ple fortune, laid out a garden, planted
an arboretum, and devoted the remainder
of a long life to the care and develop¬
ment thereof. He died in 1889. By his
will he devised these grounds and nearly
his entire estates to trustees named
therein to establish and maintain a bo
tanic garden with museum and library
connected therewith, to be devoted to
the science of botany, horticulture,
and allied objects. And this “Missouri
Botanical Garden” is in successful op¬
eration. The apprised value of the es
tate in 1890 was $3,000,000, yielding at
that time $50,000, although a large
amount of the property is unimproved
real estate in the outskirts of St. Louis,
and will in coming time become of im¬
mense value. This will make this botanic
garden the best endowed institution of
the kind that ever existed, and will
make St. Louis the botanical centre of
the new world, and draw students from
•very quarter of the globe. Six scholar¬
ships have been founded, each for six
years [for scholars from fourteen to twen¬
ty years of age], the instruction to be on
economic botany and entomology, with
such land surveying and book keeping
as is necessary for the management of
large estates; but each candidate must
have a natural taste fur the manual labor
of gardening, and receive thorough
training in it.

There is more catarrh in this section of the
country than all other diseases put together,
and until the last few years was supposed to
be incurable. For a great many years doctor*
pronounced It a local disease, and prescribed
focal remedies, and by constantly failing to
cure with local treatment, pronounced catarrh it be *3-
eurable. Science has proven to a
constitutional disease, and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co.. Toledo,
Ohio, is the only constitutional core on the
market. It is taken internally in doses from
lOdrops to a teaspoonful. It acts directly upon
the blood and mucous surfaces of the system.

Syrup”
Mr. Albert Hartley of Hudson.
N. C., was taken with Pneumonia.
His brother had just died from it.
When he found his doctor could not
rally him he took one bottle of Ger¬
man Syrup and came out sound and
well. Mr. S. B. Gardiner, Clerk
with Druggist J. E. Barr, Aurora,
Texas, prevented a bad attack of
pneumonia by taking German Syrup
in time. He was in the business
and knew the danger. He used the
great remedy—Boschee’s German
Syrup—for lung diseases.
