Cleveland and Stevenson Inducted into Office. Grail! Iipraiie tallies. 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 VICE-PRESIDENT STEVENSON. 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 friDging the elides of the home hun dreds gazed down from their dizzy neightg. Mrs. Cleveland and her mother preceded Mr. Cleveland aud Mr. Harrison. 1CSS, CLEVELAND. 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 lian soldiers responding to Marshal Mc Mahon’s baton, and the civic organizi- HRS. STEVENSON. tims and political clubs numbere i n9 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 the one hundred and four years of our consti tutional history have been statesmen eminent alike for th ir talents and their tireless devot-ior. to public duty. Adams, Jefferson and Calhoun honored its incipienov during the larly days of the repub.ic, while Arthur, Hendricks and Mor ton have at a later period of onr history shed 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. M.fsrs. Blackbirn a d Allison were ap- p -intid us such a c ■mniittee, and at 2:1<I o’clock tbe senate adj turned until Mon day at noon. 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.

Bill Nje advertises his cov^for Bale as follows: 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 ia a good minister 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 a 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 throw in a double barrel shot gun which goes with her. In May she gen erally goes off somewhere for a week or two, and returns with a tall, red calf, with long, wobbly legs.

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.

I.5WIS3JFU.CO- A, CjiT6Xiu..jr.Y Truth- 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. To Encourage Honesty. Business Alan—“No use talkiBg, is commonly considered business integ rity is as near honesty as you can expect while things are as they are.” Clergyman—“What changes would you suggest to raise the standard of hon esty to a higher moral plane?” Business Alan—“Well, for one thing, we’ll have to make the poor heuses mor* comfortable.”—New York Weekly.

Pretty bright paper, isn’t it!” 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, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the market. It is taken internally in doses from I lOdrops to a teaspoonful. It acts directly upon : the blood and mucous surfaces of the system.

But the Royal is correspon dingly purer and higher in leavening strength, and of greater money value to the consumer. The difference in cost of Royal over the best of the others does not equal the difference in leav 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 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.
