A MEMORABLE BAT IN THE
NATION’S HISTORY.
President Clcreland’s Inaugural Ad
dress—The Great Ball.
Grover Cleveland, of Nev York.thrice
nomin ated for ;>resid<;iar of the United
States and twice elected, wits, on S.lur-
day, successfully inducted into that high
office for h s second term, with all ap
propriate ceremonies 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 arc four great leading features
of inauguration day: Tile closing hours
of congress, inti which so much law-
making nnd history arc frequently
crowded; the ride of the retiring presi
dent and the presi.Jcut 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
riBpectively; 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 < f women marching on
riding in the parade, as airainst twenty-
live thousand in. 1885. They were all

wniting to fall in line but at tlio last
moment many of this organizations were
compelled to desist from participation.
Nevertheless the occasion w as made mem
'll table by the v ;st attendance.
Disappointed but undaunted by the
snow, great ho ts poured out to pnrtici-
mte in the second inaugural of Grover
Cleveland. The old scenes were repeat
ed, the massing of hum ini ty, rank and
file, surging crows with thousands fring
ing the roof line, the bouyant of legions
breasting tho 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 ic - flapping in the air.
On the great standing terraced wooden
stands that lined the avenue people were
packed like cigarettes in a bunch, shud
dering with cold, waiting impatiently for
the pageantry.
Tho galleries built in front of the build
ings were black with people and the
housetops were fringed with them. Boys
climbed trees nnd hung like fruit on the
barelimbs. They clambered likemonkeys
up telegraph poles nnd perched on awn
ing frames.
This was the condition of things at 11
o’clock. From that time on, in and out
of the capitol a vague system was per-
eeptiblo through the distracting confu
sion. While the trooD; and civic organ
izations were marching back of the capitol
the ceremonies inside were going on. The
galleries of the senate were banked to the
doors with beautiful and gorgeously
dressed ladies.
Then came the judges of the supreme
court.their rotund halites outlined ia the
generous folds of tin ir glossy satin gowns.
Following them, Speaker Crisp led the
members and members-elcct of the house
to their places.
There was a slight pause when Vice
President-elect Stevenson appeared at
the mam door on the arm of Scnatoi
McPherson. A moment later Mr. Cleve
land and Mr. Harrison appeared at the
door arm iu arpi. A slight wave or ap
plause swept across the chamber. The
two men wh > have twice been pitted
fl"-ainst cash ether ia a great national con
test, marched down the aisles together.
After the swearing in of Mr. Steven
son, nnd 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. The snow hid ceased
falling, but the wind was blowing half a
gale = ss the head of the procession
emerged from the entrance. On the
broad plaza in front of Inc capitol was
the great platform with a seating
capacity of over 2,500. A
magnificent sight greeted the
gaze of Mr. Cleveland as he reached
the steps below tho platform. Thirty
thousand people crowned the esplanade.
The parking on either side was covered
with virgin snow, the trees were white
with it. Through the interstices shone
the bright color of regimental flags and
myriad points of shining steel. In the
radiating avenues were long lines of
military, the deep blue of the infantry
•plashed with the red of the artillery au-i
the yellow of the cavalry far as the eys
could reach.
The 6teps of (he house nnd senate
were black with people and overhead

preceded Mr. Cleveland aud Mr. Harrison.

a great shout went up from fifty thou-
»ands throats as the procession moved
down to take their places or. the plat
form. The cold wind kept many of the
ladies back but the judges of the su
preme court, the senators nnd repreBen-
tivea heavily muffled in their overcoats
braved the storm. Some of Mr. Cleve
land’s friends wanted him to deliver bis
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
was 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
heard, and fifty thousand throats ap
plauded the sinking 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

Mahon’s baton, and the civic organizi-

many more. For five hours the parade
continued to stretch its endless line
down the avenue. Tho 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
b ill 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 as follows:
My Fellow Citizens :—In obedience to the
man ’ate or my conntrym n I am about to ded
icate myself to their service under tho sanction
of a solemn cut!.. Deeply moved by the ex
pression of confidence and personal attachment
wnieli lias called me to this striae, I am sure
my prat itude can mako no belter return than
the pledge I now givo before God and these
vr.tncsses of an unreserved and complete devo
tion to the interests ami 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 bri fly refer to the existence of
certain conditions and tendencies among our
peo;ilc which seem to menace the integrity and
usefulness of th ir government. While erery
American citizen must contemp'ate with the
utmost pride au 1 enthusiasm lha growth and
expansion of our country, sufficiency of our
institutions to stand against the rudest shocks
of violence, the wonderful thrift and
enterprise of our people, and demon
strated the superiority of a free govern
ment, it behooves us to constantly watch for
every symptom of insiduons infirmity that
threatens our national vigor and the strong
man who in confidence of sturdy health conrts
the sternest activities of hie and rejoices in
the hardihood of constant labor, may still have
lifting near his vitals an unheeded disease
that dooms him to sudden collapse. It cannot
be doubted that our stupendous achievements
as a people and our country’s robust strength
have given rise to heedlessness of those laws
governing our national health, which wo can
no mere evade than human life can escape the
laws of Go t and nature. Manifestly nothing is'
more vital to our supremacy as a nation and to
tho benelicieut purpos. s of our government
than a sound aud stable currency. Its expos
ure to degredatiou should at once arouse to ac
tivity tho most enlightened statesmanship; the'
danger of depreciation in purchasing power or
wages paid io the toiler should furnish the
stron cst incentive to prompt and conservative
preeopti n.
In dealing with our present embarrassing
siiuatioa as related to this subject we will be
wise if we temper our confidence aud faith in
our national strength and resources with a
frank concession tliatev. n those will not per
mit us to defy with imputy the exhortble law*
of finance and trade.
At the same time, iu oar efforts hi adjust the
differ, nce-s of opinion we s'onld be free fiom
into oraneo or passion, au-1 our ju-igm-ntt
should be unmove I try alluring phrases and ua-
vexed by selfish interests- 1 am c mtiden
ills', such approach to the subject wiil ic»uh
iu prudent and effective remedial legis'.a'ion.
In the meantini", so far as the- xecntivebr aneh
of the government can inte veil -. none of the
powers with which it is inve-ted will be with
held, when their exercise is deemed necessary
to maintain our national cred.t or avert finan
cial disaster.
Closely related to exaggerated confidence in
otir e-muitr.>’s greatne-s, which tends to tbe
d trega d of till rules of national safety, an
other danger confronts us not less s rious.
1 nfer to the prevalence of the pqmlar dis
position to expect from the operation of the
government especial and direct individual ad
vantages.
The verdict of our voters, which c 'll lemned
the injustice of maintaining protection for
protection’s sake, enjoin; u;>o:i the people’s
servants the duty of exposing and destroying
the brood of kindred evils winch are the un
wholesome progeny of patera ii-m. Ibis is
the baud of republican institution? an 1 the
constant peril of onr government by the peo
ple. It de rules to the purposes of the wily
craft the plan of rule our fathers established
an 1 b queathed to us as the ol>j ct of our love
and v.aeration.
It peiverts the patriotic sentiment of onr
countryman and tempts them to the pitiful eal-
cu a ion of -ordid gain to be di rived from their
gover iment’s maint nano'.
It unde:nines the sUf reliance of our peo
ple. »nd substitutes ini’s place d-pandeuee
upon governmental favoritism. I: stifles tie
spirit of true Americanism and stupefies every
ennobling trait of American citizenship.
TAKING THE OATH.
At the c-ncusion of his remarks Mr.
Cleveland turned around to the chief
justice, who was attired iu the robes of
bis office, to take the oath prescribed by
the constitution. Chief Justice Fuller
and other persons Dear the president re
move 1 their hats, and with bared heads
listened to the taking of the oath of
(-nice, which was pronounced oy enter
Justice Fuller in a clear voice, Mr. Cleve
land assenting to it by bowing his head
and kissing tbe Bible. Tbe oath taken
by the president is what is known as the
constitutional oath and reads ns follows:
I do solemnly Evrear that I will faithfully ex
ecute the offic; of president of the United
S ates, and will, to the best of my ability, pre
serve, protect and defend the constitution of
'■ the United States.
EXERCISES IN THE SENATE.
The closing scenes in the senate were
very interesting. From the time the
door3 opened at 10 o’clock until
| they were closed on account of lack of
: room at 11 o’clock, the people poured in.
j The galleries were packed and jammed
until stan ding room was not to be found,
j The diplomatic corps gallery was full to
! overflowing. The space allotted to Mr.
! Cleveland’s party was soon fillid. Mrs.
j Cleveland arrived early. Her entree was
so quiet that few people knew she was
present until some tims after. Just back
; of Mrs. Cleveland was Mrs. Vice President
| Stevenson, with her three daugbt-
i ers. Then came the d fferent la-
| dies of the cabinet, and friends. Early
j in the morning every member of the
1 senate, who could possibly be in attend -
ance, was on hand. Everything was
| bustle and confusion. Every few mio-
j utes bills signed by the president were
presented, immediately followed hill af
ter bill from the house. Business wa«
bring rushed. Finally, the diplomatic
corps were announced and shortly after
wards filed in. Every country, nation,
monarchy, principality and republic was
represented. The diplomatic corps was
followed by the chief justice, the asso
ciate justices and tho ex-associate jus
tices. Then came the governors of
states, ex-senators, judges of the oourts
of claims and others. These were fol
lowed by the members of tbe house.
By this time the floor of the senate
was crowded. Then came Presi
dent Harrison and Vice Presi
dent Morton, numsotatsiy roitowca by
Vice President-elect Stevenson aud Presi
dent Cleveland. Then Vice-President
Morton administered the oath of office
to his successor, and yielded to him tbe
chvirof presiding officer. A special SiS-
siiin of the senate of the fifty third con
gress was then formally opened with
prayer by Chairman Butler. Vice-Presi
dent Stevenson rose and addressed tho
sen ite:
“Senators,” he began, “deeply impressed
with a sense of its responsibilities and of its
dignity, I now enter upon the discharge of
the duties of the high office to which I have
born ca’led. I am no: unmindful of the fact
that among the occupants of this chair daring

alike for th ir talents and their tireless devot-ior.

honored its incipienov during the larly days of
the repub.ic, while Arthur, Hendricks and Mor

luster upon tbe office of president of the most
an’ust deliberative assembly known to men. I
assume the dutb-s of the great trust onfldedto
me wiih no feeling of seif-confidence, hut
rather with that of grave distmst of my ability
satisfactorily to meet its requirements. I may
be pardoned for saying that it Bhall be my near
est endeavor to discharge the important du
ties which lie before me with no lees of impar
tiality and courtesy than of firmness an l fidel
ity. Earnestly invoking 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 SESSION.
As he closed his remarks Mr. Steven
son directed (lie secretary to read the
president's proclamation convening the
senate in extraordinary session. Air.
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 was solemly ai-
ministered by the vice president, tho
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 iDau
guration of the president of the United
States.
The procession to the east portico of
the capitol where Air. Cleveland was to
be inaugurated was then begun.
After the inaugural ceremonies wi-fo
over the seDato returned to its chamber.
A committee was ordered to wait on the
president of the United States and t > in
form him that the'-senatc was organized.

o’clock tbe senate adj turned until Mon

TENSION BUILDING—WHERE THE INAUGURA
TION BALL WAS HELD.
'I HU INAUGURAL BALL.
By long custom the inaugur d ball has
gr*wu to be almost as much a part of
the cercm mies of 'he day as the inaug
urni a (ires, itself. It is a quadriennia'
tribute p d i by p ditics to society. The
treat pension building presented a gav
-c tie S tut day night. Fancy a chamber
nearly ouu hundred yards in length,
more than forty yards in breadth and
ft ty yards ftom the fi > r to the ceiling—
f- r such are the dimensions of the great
court where the b til was held. The ball
had been iu progress for some tiiur before
the presidential party arrived. Mauy
persons of distinction fr m ail parts o!
the cou-.try—senators, representativis,
prominent ooliticians, governors of stab s,
ffieers of army and navy, dip'omatists
from many lands, militu officers—ali
these, with thousands of ladies, for.tied
the throng th t pissed through the four
great doorway; of the buil ling and
made merry iu the ballroom It is esti
mated that twelve thousand people at
tended the affair, but oulv a small pro
portion of those took part in the dancing.
The throng was too great to admit of
freedom in the waltz and sholtish, and
polka, and the pressure about the square
sets was so intense that revelers were giv
en but little space for their terpsichorean
evolutions.
It was twenty minutes to 10 o’c'ock
when Air. and Mrs. Cleveland arrived at
the pension office building, accompanied
by n retinue of friends. The president
led the v/ay, iu a tour of the ball room,
on the arm of General Scofield, while
Mr. Cleveland followed under tbe escor;
of Justice Gray, of the supreme court.
Following them came Colonel and Airs.
Daniel S. Lamont, Mr. aDd Airs. Wilson
S. Biss ell, with their daughtcr-in-law;
Hoke Smith, Mr. and Mrs. J. St-rling
Morton, Air. and Airs. Richard Watson
Gilder, Air. and Mrs. E. C. Benedict and
a number of others. As the party enter
ed the Marine band at a signal from the
doorway, started no with “Hail to the
Chief. ”
The greatest interest was manifested in
Mrs. Cleveland. A few minutes only
were consumed in the circuit of tbe ball
room and then Air. and Airs. Cleveland
and their party went upstairs to their
apartments and there received a large
number of prominent persons, including
senators aud representatives, foreign
ministers and officers of the army and
navy. The secret iry of the navy, Air.
Herbert, then joiued the party witn Aliss
Htrbert. 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 Sirs. Stevenson, with their
son, daughters sud friends who accom
panied them to Washington, then joined
the president a; d Mrs. Cleveland in their
rooms. President and Mrs. Cleveland
left the ballroom at half past 10 o’clock.
The Stevenson 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 marke i by a staid and
stately decorum more characteristic of an
ancient minuet than of a modern ball.
FITZSIMMONS WHIPS HALL.
; The Fight Lasted Only Four Rounds
and was for a $60,000 Purge.
Bob Fitzsimmons whipped Jim Hall
in less than twelve minutes, at New Or
leans. Wednesday night, in four rounds,
and it was the worst licking Hall has
ever had or that Fitz has ever given any
one. Nearly 7,000 people saw the fight,
and every one was pleased with the
work. There were some, however, who
were greatly d'spleased because the fight
did not last longer. The $25 ticket
holder and the $150 box holders found
the fun very high priced indeed.
AT THE BING SIDE.
The fame of the contes aots was such
as to give both an unquestioned right to
the championship form, but it was not
alone in the reputation of the men that
tight before the Crescent City Athletic
Club acquired its greatness. Never be
fore was such a sum at Etnke on the issue
of a single fight—a purse of $40,000
and a stake of $10,000 a side made the
enormous sum of $60,000 dependent en the
result. Six thousand pairs of eyes were
eagerly strained towards the arena as the
principals, with their seconds ana fol
lowers, took their places in opposite cor
ners. It may be questioned if two
such magnificent specimens of physical
manhood had ever faetd each other,
so equally matched in the prize ring.
HALL KNOCKED OUT.
The first, second and third rounds
were gone through with and resulted in
no advantage to either contestant. The
men were both in excellent condi
tion and full of fight wheu the gong
sounded for the fouith round. They
responded to the call like gladiators, and
went at each other as though they intend
ed to find the winner in short order, but
they had scarcely warmed up to their
work when Fitzsimmons landed that
dangerous right of his on the point of
the jaw, and Hall fell to the floor like a
dead man. It was a hard fall, and the
back of Hall’s head came in contact
with tts floor with such a sickening thud
that it could be heard all through the
building. It was a clean knock out.
More than half of the audience
thought Hall had been killed. Physi
cians were called ia and it took tea min
utes to bring him aiound. The scene
was the wildest that has beeu witnessed
at the ringside for many years. Fite-
simmons caught up the American Sag
and waved it over hia head like an In
dian, while the crow-1 cheered and yelled
like Hottentots. Fi'EsimmoDS was de
clared victor, and the winner wort happy
smiles.
The ovation Fitzsimmons received was
wonderful. Oneofhs seconds jumped
the rope to hug Fitzsimmons before the
referee had counted Hall out. Fitzsim
mons was compelled to kick him out of
the ring, which he did in gieat style. By
the fight, Fitzsimmons is entrenched in
the middle-weight championship.
CYCLONE IN MISSISSIPPI.
Scores of People Killed and Untold
Damage Done to Property.
A spec’al dspa'Ch of Sunday from
Meridian, Aliss., says: The havoc
wrought by the cyclone in this section
Friday night is iuc deniable. Tbe scene
in Afarion, Aliss., beggars description.
Ruin and devastation mark the cyclone’s
deadly march. Where once stood happy
homes nothing remains save, perhaps, a
few stiav piects of timber. Giant trees
lay locked an I interlocked, uprooted and
wrenched oil to bear witness to the
storm’s fury. The cyclone struck Ma-
rion at about 6 o’clock p. m., traveling
from sou'hwcst to northeast. It is de
scribed by an eye-witness as a whirling
ball of fire and traveled in a zigz igcourse.
The main track was about 300 yards in
width, and everything in that tract was
swept away, the wreckage of the houses
being sc ttered for miles alo: g its course.
That the loss of human life was not
greater ia something wonderful, but it
can be accounted for in part by the fact
that the cyclone struck only the northern
portion on the county, which is not so
densely populated.

will be sold to anyone who will agree to
use her right. She is one-fourth short

Agricultural Hints.
Waste of trifles eats like interest mon-

A farm without a tool house is like
(tants without pockets.
Knowledge was never before so cheap
sod easy to get as now.
Dependence on a single crop may prove
a d sappointmen.
No one yet knows the capacity of soil
or how to best treat it.
When his stock is not improving, the
firmer is falling behind.
Be punctual and save vour own time

Make the farm a home—the pleasant

Best breeds do not insure most profit
without proper treatment.
Trust to tested breeds; let others ex

ADVANCE IN LITHOGRAPHY.
An Invention that Will Revolutionize
this Kind of Printing.
A special of Friday from O.tawa, Oat.,
says: Albert Grignard, department of
the interior, has rei timed from New
York with his solicitor, W. J. Code,
having completed the sa'e to a New York
corporation of an invention in connec
tion with lithographing which will revo
lutionize this department of the printing
trade. It is undeist»od that the consid
eration paid Air. Grignard for his inven
tion is in the neighborhood of $1,0C0,-
000, tegi-lhtr with a royalty on all
the works produced by his system.
The transaction is one of the greatest
magnitude and will affect the operatious
of every concern in the lithographing busi
ness, not only ia the United States, but
throughout the world. Air. Grignard has
succeeded in so rff cling the lithograph c
art as to produce a per ectly tjned pic
ture, embracing from fifte,n to eighteen
colors in its crmpo&itiou from one. or at
most three, impressions, whereas it origi
nally uqu.red one impre sioo for each
color used. This has hitherto Lein con-
sid- red an impossibility, but Air. Grig-
nard has succeeded iu finding the secret
and has been well rewarded. Mr, Grig-

Mb. Cleveland and President Harrisoi
Visit Each Other*
A Washington special says: At 10:30
o’clock Air. ClevelsDd, accompanied by
his private secretary, Mr. Thurber, en
tered his carriage and drove to the white
house to pay his respects to the president
Friday morning. Mr. Harrison received
him with Lieutenant John W. Parker,
bis naval aid, at his side. Tbe two great
men greeted each ether cordially and ex
changed a few commonplaces. At the
end of eight minutes Mr. Cleveland
withdrew, after having arranged that the
president should call at the Arlington
hotel to return the president-elect's visit
at half-past 12 o’clock.
Punctual to a minute President Harri
son, according to arrangement, arrived
at the Arlington hotel at half-past 12
o’clock, and went immediately to the
apartments of the president-elect, lie
was t.ecomjjanied by Private Secretiry
Halford and LitutenantParker. Fcsrfcely
half a dozen people were gathered at tbe
et tiance, as the hour for the presid nt's
visit was not knowD. The call lasted
sixteen minutes, aoub’e the time spent by
Mr. Cleveland at the white house in the
morning. When President Harrison
tuck his leave be was escorted to his car
riage by Private Seretary Thurber. There
w as no attempt at a demonstation, and
the president was driven back to the
white house as unostentatiously es It
came.
CLEVELAND INVITED
To Participate in the Opening of the
Columbian Exposition.
Pre-ident Cleveland’s first official invi
tation was extended to him Alonday aft
ernoon. It came from the world’s fair
comm ssiontrs and directors, and was
presented, according to previous engage
ment, in tbe cabinet room at 10 o’clock.
I; i vited the president to be present and
participate in the opening exercises of
the Columbian world’s fair and exposi
tion on the 1st dsy of Alay next. Presi
dent Cleveland’s response was entirely in
formal, and consisted mainly of questions
as to the length of the programme and
the time it would be necessary for him to
remain in Chicago to perform what was
expected of him. “If I go,” he said,
“it wiil he because I deem it a public
duty which I ought to discharge. At
that time, as you gentlemen are doubtless
aware, there wiil be many matters of
public importance to demand my pres
ence here.”
Gresham Names His Assistant.
Josiah Quincy, of Massachusetts, was
formally tendered the position of as
sistant secretary of etate by Secretary
Gresham, Alonday. which he accepted.
His name will be sent to the senate for

Brick Pomeroy, in writing of the sus
pension of the St.Louis New Forum,says:
“It is hard work to keep any reform pa
per alive. Its editor has to do more beg
ging for support than the help is really
worth. The moment a man sees even
one item in such a paper that he does
not like, he becomes cold as for or hot as
against it, and forgets that the general
tone and effort of the publication is of
importance, and that no one man can
have everything in this world all his
own way. Alany persons seem to think
it i9 the duty of an editor to think only
as each subscriber thinks, even when the
subscriber noes not always think. The
chairman of the congressional committee
on ways and means ha3 less to worry
over and to think of than four fifths of
those who publish papers, and who are
doing as they think to be the best for
the welfare of all the people.” Brick
has been in the business over forty years,
and every editor knows he is right.

There is more catarrn 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 doctorf
f 'renounced it a local disease, and prescribed
oeal remedies, and by constantly failing to
cure with local treatment, pronounced it in
curable. Science has proven catarrh to be a
constitutional disease, and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Hall’s Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co.. Toledo,

The Great Missouri Botanicnl 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 hi9
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 “Alissouri
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
every 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
ccouomic 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 for tbe manual labor
of gardening, and receive thorough
training in it.
