The painter lettered the words “mili- ' and “civic organizations” on the glass doors of | the front rooms and painted a suitable sign on | Secretary Brackett’s door. Chairman Britton was busy this afternoon signing postal cards tiotifying persons of their appointments on subcommittees, A stamp is being made, which can be handled by the secretary, and will re- lieve Mr. Britton of the ity of signing his name so much. Chairman Britton receives nearly every day some interesting souvenir of inaugura- tions, Yesterday afternoon he on his desk an elaborate invitation on silk to the Harrison inaugural ball in 1841. To-day on his desk lay of | ®2. invitation to the Lincoln inaugural ball in 1865. The heading of the invitation is ‘‘Na- tional Inauguration Ball. March 4th, 1865.” Among those whose names appear as members of the committees are J. A. J. Creswell, John Hay, J. G. Nicolay, Lewis Olept , , E. 0. Carrington, 8. J. Bowen, Z. G. Rob- bine, ‘W. J. Murtagh, A. R. Shepherd, and C. 8. joyes. ‘THE PENNSYLVANIA TROOPS, Col. Lloyd, of Williamsport, Pa., command- ing the twelfth regiment Pennsylvania national '§ | guard, was at inaugural headquarters to-day. He is here to make arrangements for his regi- ment on the 4th of March. Col.

The railroad com he said did the same thing in 1881 and 1! and on four occasions of importance hed carried the national guard to Philadelp THE VETERANS OF 1840. A suggestion from ex-Senator Pomeroy that men who voted for Harrison in 1840 be assigned to a place inline, with Mr. A. M. Ug, Lager tain, has met with favor at headquarters, Mr. Clapp said to-day that he would like to have all residents of the District who voted for “Grandfather” Harrison send their names to Col. Brackett, so that a roster of them could be COMING HERE IN MARCH, The committee to-day received a letter from Major Chew, commanding the battalion of State Fencibles, of Philadelphia, stating that his command would come, 200 strong, with a band. Among other organizations the commit- tee heard from to-day were the following: The West Philadelphia republican club will come with a band and over 100 members, The Cameron club, of Philadelphia, will bring 100 men. Thh Sedalia, Mo., republican flambeau club and the flambeau club of Atchison, Kag,, have each arranged to come. The Atchison club, of which H. H. Bayley is president, will bring 110 men. The Baltimore Sun to-day says: “the Young Men's republican club of Baltimore is already making extensjve preparations for its le at the inauguration of _Presi- lent Harrison on March 4, 1889. It will cost each member about #20 for his share inthe demonstration. The republican clubs have started a project for getting aconvention of the national league of republican clubs in is city about March 1 of next year. The —, is used that Baltimore is a convenient it for the emering of the clubs for the uguration, and that the business of the con- vention will be concluded in time for the move on Washington.” GEN, MEIGS’ PROPOSITION. Gen. M. O. Meigs, who was architect of the pension building, in which it is proposed to hold the inaugural ball, has sent the committee a description from an English paper of a new lamp called “‘Lucigen.” He sends a letter saying: “TI enclose advertisement from a London paper of what is probably the best light for ‘fini nating the approaches to the in: va ball at the Pension building for 4th of March next. There is ample time to import them, and they could doubtless be dis; of after the ball to some of the steamboat excursion companies at yery near original cost. The light is wonder- fully cheap and powerful, and is said to be coming into extensive use for night work in loading and discharging ships at docks and for all-night engineering works as excavation, building, &c,” CLERIQAL EXPENSES. Chairman Britton sighed to-day as he opened letter after letter in the mass of mail on his desk. “I did not know,” he said, “there were so many people out of employment.” Mr. Britton is overwhelmed with applications from persons who want employment in connection with the work of the inaugural committee. In every case he answers that the committee is charged with expending funds subscribed by the citizens of the District, and the money would soon be all used up if they used it in employing clerks. The committee, Mr. Britton said, had reduced its expenses of this kind to the minimum. In two or three cases where it was necessary to have men to do constant and hard work, giving up all other business, they have employed men for the service. THE CIVIC ORGANIZATION COMMITTEE. Chairman Parker, of the committee on civic associations, has appointed Capt. 8, H. Merrill, late superintendent of the money-order divis- ion city post-office, as secretary of his commit- tee. Capt. Merrill appeared at headquarters this morning and began business. He has a room where he can meet representatives of civic associations and transact the business of the committee. All civic associations are requested to report to and obtain quarters through this committee that a complete roster may be kept showing the history, strength and location of each organization.

Mr. Britton is well satisfied with the com- mittees as formed. He said to a Stan reporter to-day, however, that he had learned that there 3° é rest ey, men in ee who _thoug! emselves especially fitte to be chairmen of committees and who felt hurt because their claims had been ignored.

The duke of Sutherland was greatly sur- prised on his arrival in New York Sunday to receive a cable dispatch announcing the serious illness of the duchess, who was in comparatively good health on the day of his departure. The duke immediately arranged to return by to- day's steamer. A little later in the day he was shocked by the announcement of her sudden death. He was ordered here from London by his physician to escape the evil effects of the bad weather prevailing in Great Britain at thi season, On medical advice, therefore, he will ; | not now return to London, but spend,the win- ter in Florida. The duchess of Sutherland was Miss Anna McKenzie, only child of A. McKenzie, of Cro- martie, Scotland. Her ancestor, the earl of Cromartie, espoused the cause of Prince Charles in the rising of 1745. The title was at- tainted and the estates sequestered. About the Year 1860 the title and estates were restored by Queen Victoria and the duchess came into pos- session with the title of countess of Cromartie, She was married to the duke of Sutherland in 1850, Five children have been the issue—Lord Gower, who died in early youth; the marquis of Stafford, Lord Tarbat, ly Florence, who be- came the wife of the Hou. Henry Chaplin. M. P., and who died in 1881, and the Alexa dra, still unmarried. The duchess of Suther- land was a lady of the purest and highest Christian character, cultured, charitable, and tly beloved by ail who knew her. She was jeeply interested in the ragged schools of Lon- don, and gave agreat deal of her time and largely of her means to relieve suffering and poverty, not only in the E~ metropolis, but elsewhere in England and Scotland. She was @ warm personal friend of the queen, and for two years was mistress of the robes, ’All who came within the circle of her influence were charmed by the sweetness of her disposition, the winning courtesy of her presence, as well | desk as by her superior beauty. No member of the nobility will be more sincerely mourned than the duchess of Sutherland. THE DUKE'S INFATUATION, The dychess of Sutherland’s name became familiar to American newspaper readers last December through the cabled accounts of the sensational scandal caused by the duke’s infat- uation for Mrs. Arthur Blair, who resided at his magnificent Staffordshire country seat at Trentham. Mrs. Blair is the widow of an En- glish officer, and the duke has said, in defense of her position in his family, that he had prom- ised the officer on his death-bed to care for his widow. She is not a handsome woman by any mesns, but she was admitted into London so- ciety before the scandal. Her name has been connected with that of the duke several years. In 1885, the duke, while on a visit to this coun- try, was accompanied by Mrs. Blair, and they were the subject of a good deal of adverse comment. While they were received in a few families, the greater part of society drew the line at Mrs. Blair. The duke would not go out unaccompanied by her, however, and he visited a very few r prominent ‘society people. In De- cember, 1887, the duke became very seriously il at Trentham, The London daily press and society papers published frequent medical bulletins of his condition. Considerable com- ment was caused, however, by the fact that, ig, iors | the duke’s dangerous illness, the duchess and her daughter persisted in re- maining quietly at Torquay, and even his sons, the marquis of Stafford and Lord Tarbat, kept away from their father's sick-bed. The cause of this peculiar conduct on the part of the ducal family was the presence at the duke's bedside of Mrs. Blair, who had been quarterea at the country seat for some time previous to his illness, She absolutely refused to leave the duke’s residence during his illness, and in this determination she was fully supported by his grace, and when once she wavered in her determi m he even entreated her to remain with him, A TERRIBLE SCENE. Atlength the doctors’ bulletins announced that the duke’s illness had taken so critical a turn that it was very doubtful if he gould be able to live through the following twenty-four hours, and the physicians considered it to be their duty to inform the family of the danger, and to afinal ap; tothe duchess to visit her husband on what they considered his death-bed. The se, who is one of the oudest ladies of England, finally gave way to entreaties and journeyed down to Trent- ham, accompanied by her two sons and her the ‘of raul a vaults, areas, steps an: cellar doors, collonades or D ee over 7 feet beyond They aseert that by the act of February 21, 1871, the board of public works was given tire control of the streets, avenues and and authorized make needful i the build- line of * pidthot 18 feet on r that there is a sidewalk of 12 feet on M street and 15 feet on Massachusetts avenue, an it is amply sufficient for the public.
