THE AKRON BEACON AND REPUBLICAN, SATURDAY EVENING FEBRUARY 25, 1893. COL. SILLOWAYE SPEAKS. NEW ERA IN ATHLETICS. AT INAUGURATION DAYS.

CALLING THE WAGON. Republican Mugwump Lord Chamberlain of the White Rod, there is cold comfort for the old-line Democracy. Mr. Cleveland's consideration of the situation may be gathered from the remark he made to a Congressman who visited him at Lake wood and spoko to him of the dissatisfaction existing in the party over the appointment ot Gresham, aud what the Democrats were saying, ba'd Mr. Cleveland: "I don't care a damn what they ly." Again, when a senator was conversing with him, the latter suggested that a mistake had been made iii selecting two members of the Cabinet from one state.

Mr. Cleveland said: "I beg to disagree with you. I think I have done quite the correct thing in selecting two such men as Lamont and Bissell, even acting engines In vertical shafts. The steam pressure carried when the plant is working to its maximum capacity will be 125 pounds to the square inch, the steam being furnished for this plant by a battery of three Horizontal tubular boilers 72" diameter by 16 feet long, 44 five-inch tubes in each; boilers being made of best Juniata flange steel. Tbe boiler was also furnished by the Webs-tor, Camp Lane Co.

The plant is now nearly ready for use, the'mining company expecting to have it in full operation before March 1. They expect with this addition to their equipment, to increase their output very considerably tho coming year. In addition to the above mentioned plant, the Webster, Camp Lane Co. have under way a complete modern hoisting plant for the Mansfield Iron Mining of Crystal Falls, consisting of one Akron Corliss engine, and two 10-foot band friction hoisting drums of similar capacity to those mentioned above. They also report quite a large demand for their hoisting and underground machinery tor coal mines, hav-iug lately equipped a large number of mines in the Cambridge, and Pittsburg coal districts both for underground haulage and shaft work 'with other plants still under construction.

While the qu el condition of the iron trade and tho uncertainty of the silver market have depressed to a certain extent mining in both these eo that tbe last few months have been the dullest as to requirements for machinery ot the last three years, yet the company report an increase of inquiries from silver and gold mines in the West and Mexico, while the demand for improved machinery among the coal mines still continues, and the prospect is good for a tair amount of business Clay shot at on his way home from tho inauguration ball. Notwithstanding the disgraceful characier of these Utile or no mention was made of them in the newspapers of that period, which wore very ditl'erent from those of our limn. "hut the liveliest day old Washington ever saw was that on which Andrew Jackson became the seventh President of ttie United Slates. During the election of 18iS partisan feeling on both sides had raged w'th unprecedented violence. As a scandal-making, mud-slinging campaign, it fully equaled that of lstil.

Wnen it finally resnltod in the triumphant election of 'Andrew Jack-foil, by an electoral vote of 173 to 83 for his old opponent, the joy of the Jackson men knew no bounds, and thy determined to give him such an inauguration as had nover been seen before. "Washington was crowded with tho greatest number of stranzers ever assembled thera up to that time. Kvery man carried a hickory slick. Horses were caparisoned with hickory bark. Ladies wore neculaces of hickory and one or two who wore bonnets of hickory leaves were the envy of all the other members of the fair sex.

The day was an unusually warm and pleasant one. The customary military parade was conspicuous by its absence, for the outgoiug administration had refused to permit any of the soldiers or paraphernalia of the government to be utilized on the occasion, and President Adams had retired to the home of a friend in the country a few days before. A number of the old Revolutionary soldiers volunteered, however, to act as Jackson's they surrounded his carriage as he rode to the Capitol, constantly bowing right and left in response to such complimentary shouts as, 'Go in Andy! Wo put you 'Bully for you, Old Uickoryl' 'Give 'em fit's, and numerous other equally delicate and graceful verbal tributes. It seemed as though every uncouth backwoodsman and rough in the country had made a descent upon the Capital. ully half the crowd wore pistols and had their paats tucked into tbeir boots.

"Wben Jackson appeared upon the portico at the eat front of the Capitol the crowd joined in one simultaneous deafening shout of Hurrah for and after he had read his inaugural address and had received the oaih of office from Chief Justice Marshall, hundreds swarmed over th8 ropes protecting the space around the platform and clamored for a. shake of hia hand, which he graciously accordel. "The inauguration of William Henry Harrison on Thursday, March 4, 1841, was in some respects the most remarkable event of its" k.nd. The popular enthusiasm aroused by the occasion was fully equai in point of intensity to that which greeted President Jackson, and was even more general and widespread, though it found expression in a much more decorous manner. The day was cloudy, though no rain fell, and a piercing east wind prevailed.

The staunch old farmer aud soldier declined to ride in the elegant carriage presented to him by Baltimore admirers, and, instead, rode to the Capitol upon a white horse in the center of a hollow square of cavalry. After him came the most elaborate pageant that had ever been seen in this country up to What a Colonel of Gen. McCIel-lan's Stair Uo Saved Pro3idoat Lincoln from Capture. He Was tbe Preserver Also of John Jacob tar. Col.

He also saved John Jacob Astor from a similar fate in 1SG2, in the Peninsular campaign. Col.

Col. Sillowaye is a very modest man, and only consented to talk to the writer after it was sliown tiiat it would be criminal for hun to keep his knowledgo to himself while others suffered. So here is his story as it fell front hU lips. He saw it written but and he endorsed every word of it. "On tho 19th of April, 18G1, I enlisted in the army of the North.

I weighed 102 pouuds. Alter serving four years and ght months in the army and navy, and suffering from wounds and rheumatism I was discharged. weighed the day I was discharged i Su.liOWAYK, 109 pounds. Every year I had attaoki of nervous prostration; shortucsi of breath, aud loss of appetite were not the least of mv mistortnnnn. 1 triad numberless things.

Kothlng did me any good. "While employed in Boston, I waa compelled to resign my position on account of my ill health. I consulted several eminent physicians and took their medicines. No use I grow worse day by day. They told me I could not live.

I could not walk along the street without falling or Jclineing to railings. At times I would shake and twitoh. Had spells of falling down in the office and on the street. In the house I had to lie down or drop down. Several times I believed I was at death's door.

"I had been commander of tnree different G. A. R. Posts and my comrades advised me to try Dr, Greene's Kervura blood and nerve remedy. I bought bottle and when I had taken two-thirdt of it I began to Improve.

I kept on taking it, improving all tne time. I now weigh 130 pounds aud feel like my old self again. "You can put it in your paper that I attribute my good health to nothing but Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy. I am perfectly satisfied that it saved my life.

I am sixty years of age, but, as you can see for yourself, I am as active ai a man ot 40 and can do a good day' work as people here well know. Mi fiienda in Boston, New York and other places are surprised at my recovery. Indeed, I am surprised myself to ba so well. I advise everybody afflicted to buy and try Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy at once." At this season of the year whoa everybody needs and is using a Spring medicine we advise tho use of this wonderful health restorer.

It is by all oddi the best Spring medicine ever diecov-ered, and immediately invigorates tha blood, strengthens the nerves -and restores a healthy action of all the organs. Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy is as harmless as it good, and it is purely vegetable. It sells at 1 per bottle. Physicians recommend it to their patients as it is not a patent medicine.

A new area in athletics at Buchtel Collece is now dawning. Tlio friends of the college have at last awakened to the realization of the fact that eo col le-ro can le successful to-day where physical training is not combined with mental dUcipIiao and that students are attracted to those colleges which stand in tho front ranks jn athletics.

While this may not be as it should, it ia none tho less true and is none the less a factor the development and progress cf higher institutions of learning. In the past Buchtel College has not held a very commanding position in athletics. One reason for this is that heretofore there has been no accessible athletic field. Thi defect has been remedied and the grounds now owned by Buchtel College are second to none in the State. There Las been another ana more potent cause for the backwardness of Buchtel athletics.

Never until this Soring has the college had an experienced inetruc tor in this department, and, as much as any branch, in a head necessary to success. 13 This Spring the services of J. AY Jleisman. a well known "coach" aud athlete, a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania, were secured and he ha already taken entire charge of this branch of Buchtel College life. While it does not follow that Buchtel will immediately ascend to the athletic summit amoDg- Ohio colleges, a start will be taken in the right direction and everv bit of athletic ability iu the colleee will be developed, and not be developed indiscriminately either.

ai present tne Dan team is the prin cipal care of Trainer lleisman, although track athletics are receiving their share of attention. About 35 of the students have signified their inten of trying for the ball team and out of this number a good team can be picked. The work now bei 112 done in the gymnasium is in tended to develop every muscle of the body, narden the men and put them in good condition for the heavier work that will come as soon as the weather opens. With this in view every can di- tlate.for the team is obliged to epend four hours a week in the gymnasium, and moat of them voluatairly spend a good deal more. The hour begun by charp drill with dumb-bells and Indian clubs.

Then Trainer lleisman goe3 into the gallery and with the men at his back begins a gentle trot which ia'' gradually increased until it develops into a good fast run. A milo of this and then the men descend into the gymnasium ainin and are put through a course wa chest weights followed by high aud broad jumping. This competes the hour and glowing with the exercises tbe men take a bracing bath and a good rub and are kept in the beat of condition. Very soon the cage will b6 completed and tnen the work will be of a different character. This cage, for the benefit of the unenlightened, will be a wooden building, about 100 feet in length, 23 in widtn and 10 feet high.

On each ride are 10 high windows, making ttie building as light almost as the open air, posts and supports are guarded, while over the windows are placod heavy wire netting. The floor will be en nature, carefully packed aud rolled. Wben this is completed there will be six instead of four hours of compulsory work each week. The men will be divided into squads and they will be trained to hit the ball. The great weakness of western college teams has-been their inability to hit and Mr.

lleisman is determined that tbe Buchtel College team of shall, learn to "line 'em out." The candidates will be pitted against the best pitchers and every man will bj kept at the bat until he has had five good raps at the ball. The number of strike outs will' Le tallied and the of the cand dates for the team will be published every wteU in the college paper. In this way tbe of competition will be maintained. The cage will also be used for battery works. It is an exploded theory that men can be taught to field In a cage and this part will be left until tho team can get out of doors.

When that time comes tho candidates will be taken out every day, even in rain and snow, and be given at least two hours of good, hard work, at times when ttiey can best afford the time. This ought to get the men in gocd shape. About March 1, Trainer lleisman will establish a training tuble and tho meu will bj obliged to Then there will be no excese and no more late hours for the ball team. All the men will be kept in training until the end of the season the men will be played in tbo championship games as they show good form. Mr.

lleisman expects to accomplish fomething in track athletics and will give the men careful training. The local field day will be a week before the State field day, which will be held in Akron this year. Among the student at the college are a number of very prom.s-ing men and there is good material in sight. Of course all this costs money and While the college itself ia standing a portion of the expense the local Athletic Association has its hands full in paying its share. It will take about 1500 to enable the association to pay its share of tbe expense and pay otf the debt of $17o winch rests upon it.

C. O. Webster, 't'3, has been the friends of the college in Cleveland and has been very well received and it is not likely that the friends of the college in Akron will answer the appeal of the association with less generosity. Tho annual gymuasium exhibition will probably be held on March 17. NEW MINING MACHINES.

INTERESTING- EVENTS Ol HISTOHICAL IMPORTANCE. Centonnarian CHve3 Eeminia-Conces of tho Inaugurations of i Jefferson, Madison, Jackson and Other Presidents. Special Correspondence: Alleqhjcny, Feb. 24. While many men are telling with.

great pride just now, how they have voted for every President from the days of Andrew Jackson, Colonel James D. Kim-roll, at present residing on hi3 son-in-law's farm near this place, but a native and until recently a resident of our National Capital, who lacks but two or three years of being a witnessed the inauguration of every occupant of the Presidential chair from the days of Thomas Jefferson utitil the present time, and his recollections of even the earliest of these events are as fresh and vivid as though it had transpired yesterday. "The Damocracy of Jefferson was of so severe a character'said the Colonel, when talking on this subject to-day, "that there was no demonstration or elaborate ceremony whatever on the occasion of his first inauguration in 1801. The story of how, unattended and clad in ill-titting butternut-colored clothing, he rode upon horseback to the Capitol ana quietly took the oath of office in the Senate chamber, has beea often told. I was muoh disappointed in his appearance, for I had always heard him described as 'a slender and sinewy man with auburn but in reality I found him thin, raw-boned and awkward, with locks of fiery red.

"Ilis second inauguration, in 1S05, was ot a similarly unimposing character, but that of James Madison, in 1809, was a fine pageant. Fully 10,000 people an immense crowd in those days assembled at the east front of Jlhe Capitol, and there was such a pushing and crowding to get near enough to the platform to obtain a good view of Madison and to hear his inaugural address that several ladies fancied themselves being crushed to death, and shrieked and fainted in consequence.while many free fights took place between the men. Madison was escorted by a long military and civic proces sion, and the fact that he wore a home spun suit and was accompanied by Mrs, Madison seemed to arouse greater enthusiasm than anything else in connec tion with the affair. Mrs. Madison was always wonderfully popular with the ladies, and, indeed, with all classes of the people possibly more eo than any other mistress the White House has ever been, not excepting Mrs.Cleveland "When Madison was inaugurated for the second time, in 1813, considerable bitter feelinsr was manifested against him by members of the party opposed tq thewar with Great Britain, which was then in progress, and for Avhich they held him largely responsible, There was consequently great disorder among the crowd while he was deliver- insr his inaugural address at the east front of the Capitol, whither he had been drawn by four splended white horses in an open carriage, which was followed by a great concourse of citizens and soldiers.

The scene in the Senate chamber when he took the oath of office was an unusually brilliant one. Many richly dressed ladies occupied chairs on the floor of the Senate, and the mem bers of the diplomatic corps were all present in the court dresses of their re spective countries. "When James Monroe was inaugu rated, in 1817, the Capitol, which had been burned by the British on August 23, 1814, was being rebuilt, and he took the oath of office in Congress Hall, though his inaugural address was de livered as uBual from a specially erect ed platform at theeast front of the Capitol. Though. "Monroe had onlv been a captain during the Revolution ary war, he was singularly fond of military display, and especially of loud discharges of artillery.

At both his inaugurations in 1817 and 1821 remember he rode to the Capitol at the head of an immense turnout of soldiers and militia, his dress consisting of a dark blue coat, buff vest, bull-colored doeskin breeches, black top boots and a military cocked hat ot'Eevolutionary fashion, with a black bowed ribbon of the same period as a cockade. When he had taken tbe oath which make him President of the United Slates, tbe opining of guns at the navy yard and or geveral batteries in tli3 public grounds opposite the Capitol was simply deafening. "In 1S25, his successor, John Quincy Adams, contrary to all precedent, and after custom, was inaugurated in the House of Representatives, aud delivered his inaugural address from the Speaker's desk. He was one of those unfortunate men who seem born to illustrate the truth familiar to every student of human nature that what the world considers brilliant success often seems ignominious failure to him who has achieved it. "Adams had not desired the Presidency for the sake of the office itself.

He craved it as a token of popular approval, lie desired to know that he was esteemed by the whole people, and that they should express their decided satisfaction with 'him and his course during the many years that he had been in "public life. It was a great mortification to him that the Electoral College only gave him 84 votes, while Jackson had 119, Crawford 31 and Clay 37, and that as therefore no candidate had been chosen lie was elected by the House of Representative by very small plurality. "He felt great reluctance in accepting the office under such circumstances, and both that feeling and his disappointment were plainly manifested in the matter and manner of his address. The partisans of Jackson were very bitter against him, and frequently interrupted his address with cheers for Old Hickory. A number of the more noisy ones had to be put out of the House.

Pandemonium reigned supreme in Washington that night. The inauguration ball was poorly attended, and tne streets were crowded all night loug with men and bo.ys, crazy with whisky, who weut about singing Jackson campaign songs, shouting out curses on the newly made President, and hurrahing for 'Old Adams' friends were alto out in goodly numbers, and as the Washington police force of those days was practically nil, there were countless rows, in which bottles, glasses, brass-knuckles, pistols and kriivea played a prominent part. Henry How It Cm Be Done By the New Call System. TEST, POLICE, WAGON, OB FIItE CALLS BESIDES. Description of tho Ingenious Scheme as Put into Partial Operation in A Probable Extension.

The new patrol call system which is now in active operation in this city or which is rather in position ready for active operation is an interesting contrivance. It will be remembered that some time ago tho City Council decided to experiment in the matter aud ordered six boxes placed in position. The need for some system for police signals was apparent. It was more forcibly impressed upon those in charge by circumstances which rendered the execution of the duties of the officers'. of the law difficult and almost beyond possibility.

The only way in which an officer could call assistance or the patrol wagon was by telephone and private 'phones at various points in the city wore utilized for that purpose. This was most objectionable to the citizens who wero liablo to disturbance at almost any hour of the uight, by officers asking to use their telephones. If an officer had a prisoner he would in all probability ask some citizen fortunate or in this case unfortunate enough to possess a telephone, to call the wagou. Many refused the use of their 'phones under such circumstauces and it was exceedingly inconvenient for an officer who was troubled with a prisoner on his hands. This wai particularly true of some localities where 'phones were few and far between.

So as an experiment six boxes were ordered and placed at the places where most needed, as follows: No. 2 corner Sherman and Wheeler; 3 Grant and Cross, 4, Grant and South; 5 Main and Bowery and St. Wooster avenue and Pine street. This is of course a totally insufficient number. There are in all about 80 fire alarm boxes and it is estimated that these call boxes should bo as thickly distributed as the Are boxes.

As yet only one call has been received by the new arrangement, most of the calls coming from districts where telephones were more convenient than the boxes. But the system itself is ingenious and interesting. It is the invention of Frank Loomis and many features of it are patented. Tho idea and drawings have been in his possession for a year or more but none of the boxes were made unlil within the past few weeks when the six wore made by tho Akron Electrical Manufacturing Company. The box is made of iron about 10 inches high, seven wide and four and one half thick and is fastened to a telephone pole the same as tho tire alarm boxes.

It is small and light but the mechanism is delicate and intricate yet marvelously simple in On opening tbe box a glass front is brought to view on the outside a lever projecting made so as in moving to discribe a circle. Around the lower half of the circular front is a strip of paper bearing the words "TeBt," "Police," "Wagon," "Riot," and "Fire." To send in a call for any of these five the lover is brought around to which ever one is desired and then let loose. The instrument works with a spring which is wound up by this process and which carries the lever back when released. This lever operates a "current breaker," a small circular piece of metal with as many notches in the circumference as there are units iu the number of the box. For instance this breaker In Box 7 has seven notches, in Box 4, four notches, etc.

Tho lever in returning after re leased turns this "breaker" so that a point in passing these notches completes and breaks the current as many times as there are notches. Each time a gong at the central house is sounded. For a test call the number of the box is gent iu once, for tho police the number is repeated twice, for the wagon three times, etc. The number of the box is sent in once for each notch the lever passes. In addition to the gong which sounds, the number is recorded on a slip of ribbon paper which receives impressions corresponding to the number of the alarm received.

In each box there is in addition to tho instrument described a bell and a telegraph instrument. Upon receipt of the alarm at central two taps are made on a telegraph instrument there whicn sounds tho gong in the box from which the alarm is sent. This notifies the officer that the call is properly received and that the wagon, police or whatever may have been requested is on ihe way. These telegraph instruments may be used for the transmission of messages by regular telegraph signals or by any code of signals desired. The boxes are all on tho same circuit so that when an alarm is sent in from one box the gongs in all the others sound if the door is open.

When closed tho door disconnects the circu.it.;The description here given is very incomplete and probably indefinite but a general idea can be formed and the true value of the system appreciated. The boxes are not unreasonably expensive the six costing 210, and the experiment will doubtless result in the establishment of a complete eystom of 70 or 80 boxes. They are so arranged that a telephone may be placed in each box on tho same circuit aud with this addition the plan would be complete and perfect. With a code of signals and an operator and central, reports could be received from every policeman on duty every hour in the day and night and tbe telephone would render it possible to transmit any message or instructions to the officers. Tho Result of Merit.

When anything stands a test of 50 years among a discriminating people like tho Americans, it is pretty good evidence that there is merit somewhere. The value of a medicine is best proved by its continued usa from year to year by the same persons and "families, as well as by a steady increasing sale. Few, if any, medicines have met with such confined success and popularity as has marked the introduction and pro-gres-sof Erandreth's Pills, which, after a trial of over 50 years, are conceded to be the safest and most effective purgative and blood purifier introduced to the public. That this is the result of merit, and that Rrandret h's Pills actually perform ail that ia claimed for them, ie conclu sively proved tho fact that those who regard them with the greatest favor are those who have used them tho longest. Rrandreth's 1'uis are sold in every drug and medicine store, either plain or sugar coated.

NEXT WEEK WILL BE A WEEK OF REST. Tho Week Following Will Bo One of the Most Notable Ones in tho History of the Akron House. The pantomimic farce comedy, "Kajanka," will be at the Academy this evening. That the theatre will be packed to overflowing on this occasion goes without saving, ai the piece is well known here and has made a great hit wherever produced. It is one of those lively, interest sustaining plays, that will make the soberest of people laugh till the tears roll down their cheeks.

"Kajanka," the clown, will be played by Azany, who is a recent European importaUon of" the Miller Bros, brought over especially for He comes with a excellent repu tation, as a laugh-maker ana is laden down with wonderful new tricks and clever mechanisms. All of the other characters in the piece are in competent nands. Tbe tamous quar tette of Mariposa dancers who tiave created such a furore everywhere, are still with the company, and will ap pear in new songs and dances. The New York Quartette has been added, and a new acrobatic act. "The Corn- alias," who are said to be really won derful.

It would occupy a column of space to enumerate the many features, scenic and acrobatic novelties that have been eecure'd for this season, in addition to tbe many startling mechanical tricks and devices that have made "Kajanka" tho most popular of all the great "Siiow Pieces." "Held in Slavery," a nautical melo drama, fraught with alternating mc dents that excite and amuse, was the attraction at tbe Academy of Mu3ic last evening, playing to very large house. The author, Martin Hayden, who plays the role of the hero, shows a remark able appreciation of striking stage ef fects. The plot deals with the trials of a young heiress who falls into the clutches of the desperate villain, who in turn is thwarted by ttie young hero, Martin Harden as the hero, and Miss Anna Boyle as the heroine shared in the honors. Charles Kobinson.Freddio Huke and Harry Sedley furnished some amusing specialties during the progress of the melodrama. Next week will bo one of rest at the Academy but the following week will be a notable one.

On Tuesday March 7, the great emotional actress, Clara MorriS, will be the attraction; Wednes day, March 8, the "Railroad Ticket," whico has created such a furore over the country: Thursday March 9, "No body's Claim;" Friday, Iloyt's "A Hole in the Ground," and Saturday, "Tux edo," one of the greatest spectacular attractions on the road.

The company has made a large amount of money this season, and is hrmiv nxed among the highest class of American attractions. Charles H. Hoyt has been working steadily uuon his new piece, which is to be satire on the State militia. He intends this production to be the most pretentious he has yet undertaken. There will be special and costlv scenery and several imposing effects will be introduced.

Those who are in Mr. Hoyt's confidence are exceedinglg enthusiastic concerning the material which he has in hand. The threatened coming of hoop- skirts has already been anticipated by the skirt dancers in what they call a crinoline dance. "The one situation which is said to be strong enough to carry the play even if were lacking in dramatic strength. It is a scene wherein tho American flag is torn down and in sulted.

"The letter was sent out on my owe responsibility and the suggestion thai it was dene at Mr. Cleveland's request is without foundation.

It has been the practice since the foundation of the government for United itei ministers abroad to place their resigna-tictj-T ia the liuiC uiwyiug ad' islrauon. that time. There were coons, log cabins and hard cedar barrels innumerable. There were many companies of wearing coon-skin caps.

There were powder looms, or spinning-jennies as we called them in those days, in i'uil operation. One log cabin was so large that 13 horses wero required to draw it. All the church. bells in, the city rang out the merry peal as the procession passed along. Many dwellings and stores along the route wore handfome-ly decorated something vory uiiusal in those days.

"But though apparently a primitive tiller of soil, Old Tippecanoe was weli-erounded ia the classics, and delighted in quotations from them. His inaugural address, which was of such length that it occupied an hour aud a half in its delivery, was liberally embellished in that way, abounding' in allusions to the heroes of antiquity, and containing numerous mythological and metaphorical references. He compared his progress to the Capitol, with those victorious Roman generals of old making a triumphant entry into Rome along tho Appian Way. "During all the time he was speaking he was wholly unprotected by overcoat, hat or gloves, and stood facing a piercing east wind, which toyed with bis gray Hair, aud penetrated to his vei'v vitals. I havo always believed and shall believe, that that cold hour and a half of elaborate flowery oratory wfis largely responsible for his death, which occurred on April 4, exactly oue month from the day of his inauguration.

"There was no ministerial or other protest againsfthe inauguration ball that year as there was when his grandson, Benjamin Harrison, was inaugurated in 1SS9, aud two such assemblies were held, i ehall never coase to remember, with keen amusement, the looks of horror, the blushes, giggles unsophisticated remarks elicited at the more plutocratic of these gatherings by the decollette dress worn by the wife of one of the foreign diplomats. Such exclamations as 'Well, I swow I If that ain't dretful 1' 'Oh, my! I think sho'd oughter be ashamed 1' were some of the exclamations of the beaux and belles of the period. "Fortunatelp or unfortunately civilization has progressed since then, and when Benjamin Harrison, the grandson of William Henry, was inaugurated on a very rainy, disagreeable fourth of March, in 1889, the sisht of fair ladies whoee dress, or rattier undress, was supported only by a narrow strip of ribbon across the shoulders, did not ex-citei a ripple ot attention or comment at the inauguration ball from the de-scendentsof those who were so shocked at Grandfather William Henry's inaugural shindig.

Bowling Green, Feb. 25.

Mrs. George Chamberlain, living near Dun- bridge, Thursday administered a large dose of arsenic to her 10-year-old son and then took a dose of poison herself. The boy died in terrible agony in a short time. She was found by tho neighbors in an unconscious condition. b.he cannot live, amiiy trouuies were the causo oi the rash act.

The senior proprietor of this paper has been subject to frequent colds for some years, which were sure to lay-him up if not doctored at once. He finds that Chamberlain's Cough Re medy is reliable. It opens the secretions, relieves tho lungs and restores the system to a heaithy condition. If freely used as soon as tho cold has been contracted, and before it has become settled in the system, it greatly lessens the attack and' often cures in a single day what would otherwise have been a severe cold.
