BEST IN $3 SHOE ON HIS SECOND TERM Inauguration of Gov. McKinley of Ohio. BEAUTIFOL WEATHER AT COLUMBUS. Parade of Militia and Political Clubs. LARGE CROWDS ARE PRESENT COLUMBUS, Ohio, Jan. 8.—Gov. McKin- ley entered upon his second term at noon today. The weather wagsbeautiful, and not for many years have larger crowds at- tended inauguration ceremonies than those that fill Columbus’ streets today. ‘he state military was represented in the pa- rade by parts of nine regiments and several companies of United States troops were in the procession. But the political clubs formed the feature of the parade, the num- ber of different organizations of this kind, thei> uniforms and fine appearance being the subject of general remark. Promptly at noon Gov. McKinley took the cath of office, administered by Chief Jus- tice J. P. Bradbury of the Ohio supreme court, and at once delivered his inaugural address. This took place on the west front of the capitol. The governor spoke as follow: Gov. McKinley's Addres: Gentlemen of the Senate and House of Representatives, and Fellow Citizens: Ninety-one years ago, on the 1st of March next, the general assembly of Ohio met for the first time under the constitution.

On the Ist of January I addressed a:com- | munication to the general assembly pre- | ting the need and conditions of the state ich renders it unnecessary for me now to claim your attention upon these subjects. I only desire to add what I have already said in that connection: That I shall cor- diay co-operate with the general assembly in every effort it may inaugurate to im- prove the financial condition of the state, jto secure a better and more equal system of taxation, promote economy and the effi- 4 cier “y of onr public institutions and ad- ance the best interests of the state and the nigh well-being of its people. Having served one term as governor I realize more than ever the responsibility of the office which, by the partiality of the people, | am designated again to fill and I am solicitous for the wise and faithful performance of its duties. To serve the state to the best of my ability is my earnest aspiration and single purpose. We cannot hope to obtain the best results for the state acting singly and apert. There must be hearty co-opera- tion between the legislative and executive and both must be in harmonious relations with the. people. I shall not be wanting in honest endeavor to join the legislative branch of the state government in every good work. The tend- y of all governments and of all branches of government, executive and legislative, is for each to increase its power and magnify its importance, sometimes in doubtful re- gard of laws and the constitution. While the power and independence of the co-ordi- nate branches of the government should be sacredly maintained, we should be careful never to encroach upon the organic law, nor to trespass upon the rights of the peo- ple. The best government is the one which governs the least, and which keeps safely within the letter and spirit of the con- stitution; and the best government always is that one which best looks after its own and which is in closest heart-touch with the highest aspirations of the people.

A List to Be Published of Those Which Are No Longer Protected. On January 4 John S. Seymour, commis- sioner of patents, addressed a communica- | tion to the Secretary of the Interior in which he proposed that there be published | im the Patent Office Official Gazette from week to week the patents which expired upon the date of issue, along with the Patents issued to run seventeen years. Seventeen years ago on the 2d day of January there were issued 187 patents, which, having run their prescribed term, became, on the 2d day of January of this year, the property of the public, the direct contribution of the patent system, here- after to be free. It is submitted that the | detaiis of what the public has this week come into the right to use should be pub- hshed for their information. It has been the practice for some time in England to republish expired patents. Commissioner Seymour has been informed by the chief of the issue and gazette divis- jon that this will cost seven thousand dol- lars for the calendar year. He is advised by the chief clerk of the Department of the Ir.terior that this expenditure can be made without entailing the necessity of a defi- cfeney bill. This afternoon Secretary Smith wrote to Commissioner Seymour and stated that he realized the importance of giving prompt and full notice to the public, as soon as the patent rights to inventions expire, and the privilege of common use matures, The Secretary added: ‘There is no money specifically appropriated for this purpose, but during the past six months there has been saved from the general appropriation for printing and binding the sum of over $49,000. As this money is subject to the control of the Secretary for printing pur- pose, I deem it advisable that the work you suggest be paid for out of the money saved.” ——___-.— ON TO WASH TON.

Written for The Evening Star, If ever a man bore a charmed life that man was “Old Hickory.” That he should live to ripe old age and die a natural death, despite his many dramatic, not to say tragic, experiences, was remarkable. But of all of Gen. Jackson’s narrow es- capes there was one which borders on the supernatural. Two bullet-loaded pistols ot perfect construction, which at no other tume were ever known to miss fire, snapped in turn at President Jackson’s breast, the percussion caps exploding, but the weapons refusing to shoot! That the old hero met not the fate of two of his illustrious suc- | cessors was little short of a miracle. As it was, the incident caused an intense excitement all over the country. “I am not afraid! Let me go, gentlemen! ‘They can’t kill me. I can take care of myself!” So exclaimed President Jackson one mem- orable day in January, fifty-nine years ago, a3 breaking away from his friends he rushed upon his would-be assassin. The Attempt on His Life. This attempt to murder Gen. Jackson was made on the 30th of January, 41835; the same month in which, twenty years pre- viously, he won his highest renown by his defeat of the British army at New Orleans. On the afternoon of the day named, while President Jackson was at the Capitol, in attendance upon the funeral of Mr. Warren R. Davis of South Carolina, one Richard Lawrence, a painter, residing in Washing- ton, attempted to shoot him. ‘This individual was seen to enter the hall of the House of Representatives during the delivery of the funeral sermon; before its close, however, he had taken his stand on the eastern portico, near one of the col: umns. The President, with the Secretary of the Treasury on his left arm, on retir- ing from the rotunda to reach his carriage at the steps of the portico, advanced to- ward the spot where Lawrence stood—who had his pistol concealed under his coat— and when he approached within two yards and a half of him, the would-be assassin leveled the pistol at the President's breast. The percussion cap exploded’ with -a noise So great that several witnesses supposed the pistol had been fired. On the instant Law- rence dropped the pistol from his right hand, id taking another ready cocked from his left, presented and snapped it at the President, who at the moment raised his cane and made for the assailant with lion-like energy. He would have executed summary vengeance, but Secretary Wood- bury and Lieut. Godney at the same time laid hold of the man, who was knocked down, the President pressing after him un- til he was secured. The President's friends then urged him to go to the Capitol, which the old hero did, with great firmness and _self-posses- sion, though during the eventful moment his commanding voice was heard above all others, as, tearing himself from his friends and rushing for the assassin, he uttered the words quoted. As soon as the act was known to the crowd they wished to kill the assassin on the spot. But this was promptly prevented. Who the Assailant Was. Lawrence was forthwith .carried to jail, after a brief preliminary examination be- fore Judge Cranch. At this examination Mr. Randolph, sergeant of the House of Repre- sentatives, who attended the marshal to conduct the prisoner to the city hall, testt- fied that the prisoner when asked by the marshal what motive he had to make the attempt, stated that the President had kill- ed his father. a misapprehension of the facts the ways and means committee in preparing the Wil- son bill has treated all those interested in lead mining in Missouri and other lead producing states west of the Mississippi in an unfair and inconsistent manner, They will assert that its passage will ruin the lead industry, which has been built up dur- ing the last thirty years under the idea that under no circumstances would the dif- ference between the cost of labor in this country and Europe and Mexico be unrecog- nized in tariff legislation. The letter goes on to show by facts and statistics how the lead industry is dis- criminated against and in addition to send- ing the foregoing letter the members of the caucus propose to engage in an active personal canvass and to stay in Washing- ton until their purpose is accomplished. — THE WEEK OF PRAYER. Union Meeting for Women in the First Presbyterian Church This Morning. The week of prayer either began this morning or will begin this evening in the various churches throughout the city. Sev- e>al union meetings will take place during the week in different sections of the city, and the first services of two of these began at the First Presbyterian Church this morn- ing. The union prayer meeting for women opened there at 11 o'clock, with a large at- tendance of women from all parts of the city. It was led by Mrs. Culbertson, the subject being “Humiliation and Thanksgiv- ing.” At the close of this service, lasted one hour, the general meeting for ali was begun in the same room, led by Dr. W. C. Alexander, D. D., the pastor of the West Presbyterian Church. Over 200 persdns,men and women, were present. Hymns were sung, Scripture read and prayers we-e made by those present, making a most earnest, fruitful and successful meeting. Tonight the union meeting of the churches in the northwest will begin at the Grace Reformed Church, corner of 15th and Pp streets northwest, continuing throughout the week at various churches in that sec- tlon, and tomorrow night the churches of the northeast will begin their meetings at the Keller Memorial Lutheran Church, cor- ner of th and Maryland avenue northeast.

The possession of great vower too often leads to great abuses. it ‘s of less trouble to let bad legislation go through than to stop it; but that practice will neither justify the conscience of the honest jegislator nor retain the confidence of his constituents.

To the Editor of The Evening Star: Your correspondent is one of the many helpless victims of the recent assessment of real estate in the District of Columbia. I am the owner of a plain little six-room brick house (one of a row), with a frontage of fifteen feet and about forty feet deep, which is assessed at $2,500, exclusive of the lot, while the actual cost to build was about $1,800, The assessor himself admits that the valuation is grossly excessive, but he says I will have to pay it, and that I have no remedy under the law. I was pre- cluded from appealing my case because the board of equalization adjourned a few days before I received my deed. There are hun- dreds of such cases, and yet they say there is no remed For various reasons a large majority of taxpayers do not know the amount of their | assessment until November comes. If pro- vision cannot be made for a permanent board of equalization taxpayers should be permitted to file appeals during the month of November of the assessment year and the board should be empowered to remain in session long enough to dispose of such | appeals. | Prompt payment should be encouraged, as | now, by a penalty provision, and any ex- | cess paid in November could be made to! apply on the bill for the second half of the fiscal year. If all of those persons interested in this matter will agitate it through the various citizens’ associations, and in other ways, | Congress will probably grant relief and authorize a new assessment THOMAS W. GILMER, | wich | This assertion was, however, untrue, as, upon investigation, it was found that his father, an Englishman, had died a natural death in Washington some years before. The son was apprenticed afterward to a Mr. Clark, with whom he lived three years. Mr. Clark, when called upon, said he was a man of excellent habits, sober and in- dustrious; that he had seen him very fre- quently and was well acquainted with him since he had left his family, and had heard nothing to his disadvantage until ‘of late he was informed of his being quarreisome among his friends, and that he had treated one of his sisters badly... The entire absence of any personal motive on the part of the prisoner to commit the deed he attempted suggested the idea that he must be insane. But his demeanor. at the time, as when he was being examined, bore not the slightest appearance of frenzy or derangement of any kind. His Natural Demeanor. Indeed, when asked by the court if he wished to cross-examine the witnesses or to make explanation, he answered in the negative, and said that those who had seen the act could state the facts. At the conclusion of the trial, when asked if he had anything to offer, he said that he could not contradict what had been given in evi- dence. In the midst of the excitement and anxtety which prevailed around him Law- rence appeared perfectly calm and col- lected. Before the Attack. The president in speaking of the event remarked that Lawrence's manner from the moment his eye caught his was firm and resolved until after the failure of his last pistol, when he seemed to shrink rath- er than resist. Lawrence was a handsome young man of about 35 years, small in stature, with pale complexion, black hair, dark eyes and genteel deportment and was well dressed. The keeper of the rotunda stated that he had frequently observed the man about the Capitol, so often that he had tried to draw him into conversation, but had found him taciturn and unwilling to talk. On the day in question he kept prowling about, but did not come within the railing near the members’ seats; his hand was held in- side his vest, as if grasping something, and his lips were pale and quivering. On his pistols being taken from him after the affair they were found to be a very elegant pair, in excellent order and loaded with powder and bail almost to the muzzle, the barrels being about six inches long. It was a most astonishing circumstance, almost reaching to the miraculous, that, loaded as they were and of such perfect mechanism, both pistols missed fire. It Was a dual lottery of life id death, and the hero of New Orleans, with his usual good luck, drew a prize each time! There was probably in our native his- tory no more interesting test of firearms than that made immediately after the af- fair by District Attorney Key and Gen. Hunter, the marshal of the District, on Lawrence's pistois. This was done with some of the remaining powder, balls and caps of the prisoner, and the result show- ed that loaded in the ordinary manner the discharge of the weapons took place every time and their power was such that the bullet would pass through an inch board at a distance of nine yards and nearly bury itself in the second board at a further dis- tance of about as many yards. So great was the excitement produced by the affair that some of the most eminent opponents of the President, including such men as Clay, Calhoun, Poindexter and White, were, in the frenzy of the moment, suspected of having conspired in a plot to get rid of the President. . The Real Cause, But in this affair “there was a woman in the case” it appears. It was ascertained that some time pre- vious Lawrence had formed an attachment for a young lady and frequently told his sister that he would by his industry soon be enabled to buy a corner lot and build BEWARE; GRIP Dr. Edson fears another epidemic, and sounds the alarm.

But he was dis- appointed and became extremely pensive, quit all employment and would stand for Pours gazing upon the spot which he had selected for his future residence. He be- came hopelessly insane. This was shown at his trial, when it was developed that ; he had claimed his right to the crown of England and had called on the President and demanded money, threatening death to him if it was not soon forthcoming. The jury, after being out five minutes, rendered a verdict of “not guilty, he having been under the influence of insanity at the time of committing the act.” But before the trial and its termination the intense excitement produced by the act throughout the country had about wholly subsided. As for Lawrence, he was sent to a lunatic asylum, where he remained an inmate the rest of his life, nearly forty years. CHARLES 0. STICKNEY. ee WHITECAP OUTRAGES. In a Night They Kill One Man and Whip Several Others. The regulators or white caps, who for the last two months have been terrorizing parts of Kentucky, were out in force Sat- urday night, fifty men being in the party. After they had visited several houses and called out the men, whipping some very severely and warning others to mend their ways, leave the country or take the conse- quences they surrounded the village of Leesburg. Keeping guard they forced open the cabin door of Josh Mitchell and forcibly dragged him from his bed and carried him about fifty yards from his home and tried him before Judge Lynch. As soon as Mitchell took in the situation he broke through the line and made for his cabin. Just as he was nearing his door the white caps fired and Mitchell's body was perforated with not less than twenty- five buckshot. He died at once. Immediately after killing Mitchell the white caps attacked the residence of Brack Bottoms and forced open his door. They made his wife strike a light, but could not find Brack. His wife said that he was absent from home, but they did not believe her, for the children kept begging that the men would not kill their father. After making a thorough search and as they were about to leave one of the white caps saw some soot falling down the chim- ney into the smoldering fire. Looking up the chimney he saw Bottoms, who had been frightened by the shooting when Mitchell was killed, and had hidden for safety. Dragging him down by the heels they carried him off and gave him fifty lashes on his bare back, lacarating the flesh at every stroke. Bottoms had been dragged from his cabin by a rope slipped around his neck, but the cries of the children and the prayer of the wife aroused a feeling of sympathy in the hearts of his perse- cutors and instead of hanging him they decided to give him a severe beating. Their next attempt to take the law into their own hands was a failure. Oscar Rey- nolds, two weeks ago, was warned to leave the country, but he publicly proclaimed that he had done no wrong and would stand his ground, his house being his castle, -'‘ They visited it and finding his doors so strongly barred that they would not give in ordered, him to let them in. He refused, as he had heard the shooting and the cries of Bottoms. He said he was ready for them. They held a council of war and de- cided to postpone their attack. Mounting their horses they rode away. SORE “NOT DRINK, BUT ITS ABUSE IS SIN.” A Triad of Social Vices Discussed by the Rev. George R. Van De Water. An audience of men that filled to over- flowing St. George’s Church in New York last evening listened to the Rev. Dr. George R. Van De Water, rector of St. Andrew's |Church, Harlem, speaking on “Social } Vices.” “There are,” he said, “a trinity of evils which drag men down to hell. One is the abuse of intoxicating liquor. I believe there is a use of liquor which is proper, legitimate and right. If I thought I would help my fellow-man by. being a total ab- stainer I should do so. But the truth, and not a He, is from God, and. will help men most, and the truth is that God made liquor and designed it for the use of man. Drunkenness is a sin, but drinking is not, and those who end a cure of the evil by stopping drinking do not think deeply. As a minister of God, 1 do solemnly aver that if I could, with my knowledge of human nature, I would not close the sa- loons of this city and deprive the honest and industrious workingman of his pot of beer. Prohibition. te mere moonshine. “The second evil is gambling. Gamblers read bad books, they consort with bad wo- men, they eat and drink and live like sneaks. The district attorney and the chief of police combined could close all the gambling dens of New York with three words of command, and in a day, if they would, and yet when an enthusiast, an earnest man, arraigns therh before the bar of public opinion, they turn upon him as if he were a monster. The third in the triad of vices named was lust, and to it Dr. Van De Water attrib- uted the destruction of thousands of vir- tuous women every year by fiendish men. aa ee Can’t Stop the Trolley. ‘From the New York World. A trolley car was booming up Fulton ave- nue in Brooklyn on Wednesday night at a rate a trifle less than forty miles an hour. A man stood on the corner and frantically attempted to attract the motorman’s at- tention. He succeeded, but the car did not come to a standstill until it had left the would-be passenger a hundred yards be- hind. “Why didn’t you stop?” he murmur- ed as he the conduttor. “Can't stop when the tracks slip as they do tonight, was the surly answer. The man though fully took his seat, no longer wondering why so many children have been killed by the trolley juggernaut. “The tracks slip” in bad weather—that’s all. Minnie Ogle’s Suit for Divorce. Suit was begun in Judge Winde's court in Chicago Saturday by Minnie Ogle for a di- vorce from Comley Ogle. The defendant is a man who a few years ago, it is alleged, was worth close to $10,000,000.

Pursued by a Lot of men Who In- sint That He's a Wife Deserter. Thomas Larkins, a good-looking man about forty years old, caused the arrest of & woman who says she is Maggie Axwell, in New York on Saturday night for disor- derly conduct. According to Larkins’ story to Justice McMahon in the Jefferson Mar- ket police court yesterday he is a very much persecuted man. According to the tory of Miss Axwell and half a dozen other women who appeared for her Larkins is not Larkins, but Patrick Butler, and a heart- tess villain. Fourteen years ago, Miss Axwell says, a man named Patrick Butler married a woman named Dugan in Liverpool. Two years later he deserted her and her eleven- months-old child and sailed for America. Eight years ago Butler's stepdaughter, who is Miss Axwell, came to New York. Two years ago she met Larkins in the Grand Opera House. She spoke to him and called him Mr. Butler. He repulsed her, but she followed him and found where he was liv- ing. Since then, Larkins says, the woman has made life miserabie for hi Two weeks ago Mrs. Butler and Butler's chil- dren came to New York at the solicitation of Miss Axwell, and began annoying Lar- kins. The latter, who has been married for four years, says that they have been following him around, and have more than once atttacked him in the street and tried to rip open his sleeves to see if he had any tattoo marks on his arms. He stood the thing for a long time, he says, not wishing to have the woman ar- rested, but on Saturday night the crisis came. Larkins was walking along 8th ave- nue, when at the corner of 224 street he ran across Miss Axwell, Mrs. Butler and two other women. All hands attacked Lar- kins and made a desperate effort to cut open his coat sleeve. He fought as hard as he could, but was being very roughly han- died when a policeman came and ordered the women away. They all obeyed except Miss Axwell, against whom Larkins made complaint of disorderly conduct. To Jus- tice McMahon Larkins said yesterday: “This is a case of mistaken identity. My name has always been Larkins, and I was never known as Butler.” Miss Axwell, Mrs. Butler and the other women all insisted in court that Larkins ‘was Butler, but there was no way of prov- ing it. Justice McMahon sent Miss Axwell to the island for a month. ead They Dined in PI delphia.

Clipped From “The Post.” POST REPORTER'S INIFRVIEW: The writer happened to be passing the Columbia Nose and Throat Insti- tute, 1344 G street yesterday, and dropped in to learn what these noted Philadelphia “specialists” thought of Washington. After awaiting his turp ir the reception room with a lange Bumber of patients, he was ushered into the presence of Dr. W. H. Heiser, the surgeon in charge. He found the doctor a very affable gentleman and quite enthusiastic over the new enter- prise. Upon inquiry as to bow the In- stitution was prospering, the doctor said: “We have been very busy from the etart. I confess I am a little sur- prised at the exceedingly large oum- ber of Washingtonians who suffer with catarrh, but I understand that the topographical position of Washington is very conducive to catarrhal and similar complaints. We are now per- manently established and expect to do good work here and it was the pos- sibility of the large oumber of pa- tients to treat which induced us to name the low rate of $5 a mouth for curing catarrh. Yes, we like Wash- ington and shall reside here perma- nently.”" Columbia Nose & Throat Institute, PARLORS 1344 G ST. N.W., W. A. HEISER, M. D., GRADUATE OF JEF- PERSON MED.
