The exercises combitied a brilllant military parade, a review by the president from the east front of the capitol and orations In the hall of the house of representativés, where a bril- lant audience was assembled. By act of congress the day was made a natlonal holt day In the District of Columbia, the de- artments were closed, business was sus- pended and the whole city gave itself over to celebrating the capital's natal day. President McKinley and his cabinet took A prominent part and with them were & number of chlef executives of states and territorier, the senators and representa- tivos iu congress, the judiclary of the United States supreme court, the ambas- sndors and ministers from forelgn courts, the heads of the army and navy and a great outpouring of the people. Although Wash- ington 1 the scene of many celebrations, 1t 1s seldom that one has occurred here of greater brilllancy In its outdoor features or of more Impressiveness in fits cere- monial exercises at the capitol and at the White House. Early in the day the presi- dent recetved the governors of states and territories at the White House and the model for a new and enlarged White House to commemorate today’s exercises was un- velled with suitable addresses At 1 o'clock the president was escorted to the capitol, where he reyiewed a parade headed by Lieutenant General Miles and including the full militagy strength of the capital, regulars and militia.

A receptiea by the president to the governors at the Corcoran Art gal- lery tonight closed the festivities. From an early hour today the streets were filled with an eager and expectant throng. Pennsylvania avenue was a blaze of color from end to end, the business houses be- fng bung with bunting, flags and patrio‘ic devices. The great public bulldings added their share to the brilllancy of the spectacle. From the front of the Treasury radiated an enormous sunburst of red, white andblue. Furtheron the War. State and Navy departments and the Department of Justice were resplendent in the national colors. At the other end of Pennsylvania avenue the massive front of the capitol was hung with long streamers and from the dome fluttered & myriad of flags, while the front of the huge Postoffice department was covered with the natlonal colors. Order of the Day's Even The program of the day began with a reception at 10 o'clock by President Mc- Kinley and members of his cabinet to the governors of the states and territories at the executive mansion. This was followed by the unvelling in the East room of the model of the proposed enlarged exccutive mansion, which fs to be a lasting memorial St today's celebratfon. The other events of the day were a parade from the White House to the capitol, participated in by the president and other dignitaries and visiting and district militia; jolnt exercises by the senate and house in the hall of the house of representatives. Tonight a reception will be tendered the governors of the states and territories at the Corcoran Gallery of Art. The exercises of the day began at 10:30 o'clock with a reception at the executive mansion, given by the president to the gov- ernors of the states and territorles, their ladles and the members of their staffs. The east room, the red, green and brue parlors, the corridors and staircases had been taste- fully decorated with flowers and follage plants in great numbers and in the flood of electrio light presented a spectacle of rare beauty. The distinguished guests began to arrive at the mansion some time before 10 o'clock and half an hour later all of the large public rooms were comfortably filled, the brilllant military uniforms of the staft officers adding much to the spectacular effect of the scene. At just 10:30 o'clock the president descended the west stairway with Secretary Hay at bis side. Immedi- ately following were the other members of the cabinet walking two and two, the omly absentoe belng Attorney General Griggs. As the president and party entered the west corridor the Marine band orchestra, in dress uniform, struck up “Hail to the Chiet.” Governor Roosevelt of New York, who had been spending an hour with the presi- @ent In the library on the second floor, came down a few minutes later and joined the other governors in the Red parlor. As the orchestra struck up the inspiring strains of “My Country, 'Tis ‘of Thee,” the reception began, the presentations being made by Colonel Bingham, U. 8. A, State Executives Present.

Colonel Theodore A. Bingham, U. § A., superintendent of public bulldings and grounds, gave an ioteresting ac- count of the plans for the enlarge. ment of the executive manslon. A medel of the mansion and Its proposed ad- ditlon occupled a promiment place in the cast room, by which Colonel Bingham wa: able to {llustrate the improvements and ad- | ditions desired. Of all the records he had |been able to find of extenslons, that pry | pared under the suverviston of the late | Mrs. Harrison came nearest, he sald, to | tulfilling certain gulding principles consid- |ered as necessary to be followed in any | design for an extension, not only on mc- | count of thelr own propriety but to meet |the views of the great majority of the American people. Mrs. Harrison's plas, he sald, consists, in a word, of buldings about the slze of the present house, one on the east side and one on the west slde of the White House grounds, connected to the present mansion by curved wings—the quadrangle being completed by rebullding the conservatories at the south end of the grounds. Perhaps the most striking advantage of this plan is that it quite maintains the present openness to sun and toward the south and southwest— a vital necessity—and preserves the beau- tiful view to the south as unobstructed it 1s today. This plan leaves the presest mansion unchanged, not an outer door or window of & room is closed, the extensions beginning on the prolongations of the maia orridors. Architectural harmony has been preserved. Owing to the recession of the extensions to the rear the present bullding Is not dwarfed. Careful. but not final estimates on tho extensions proposed, Colonel Bingham sald, amount to $1,100,000, including partial turnishing. MeF nd Champions e District. President H. B. F. McFarland of the beard of district commissioners reviewed the historical development of the District of Columbla. Commenting on its form of government, ho sald Although many good citizens have re- gretted that in the national capital taxation without represontation is the principle of overnment, It is generally admitted that or the District of Columbia the present form of government Is the best possible. Free from the slightest suspiclon of ndal, successive boards of commisaioners the highest character have administered he affairs of the district more efficiently and economically than the affalrs of any other American municipality have been ad- ministered, and to_such general satisfac tion that' there has been no lasting criticlsm. The capital of the nation claims tho allegiance of the citizen of every other city, even above that which he gives to his own city. This s recognized in the growin desire of our countrymen everywhero tha the needs of the national capital shall be generously mef Governor Shaw on the Century. Governor Leslle M. Shaw of Iowa had for his subject: “The Development of the States During the Ceatury of 1800-1900." Governor Shaw sald: The close of the most remarkable century in the flight of time finds Americans the best housed, the best fed, the best clothed, the best educated, the best churched, the most profitably employed and the happlest because the most hopeful of any people, at any time or under any sky. velous are the pages of their ‘Matory; un. precedented and unparalieled the record of thelr achlevements; great and honorab the annals of their deeds.

To be & parent and responsible for the de- velopment and education of the baby in the cradle 1s a great charge; to be of the faculty of & university with 1,000 students 18 quite enough to maka one thoughtful and serlous, but to be a citizen of the United States, commissioned to instruct a strange and ancient people In things new n ways righteous and in acts honorable and to be answerable to the world and to God for results should inspire not pride, but humility, and should demand of the least and of all the exercise of greatest wisdom. Day's Weather is Ideal. The weather was ideal for the outdoor celebration, with a clear sky, bright sun and invigorating air. Throughout the morning the crowde surged in the downtown dlstricts seeking polnts of vantage along the lino of march of the parade. As con- gress had declared the day a national holl- day for the District of Columbia, the whole clty prosented a holiday aspect, departments and schools being closed. The street cars on Pennsylvania avenue were stopped shortly after noon to glve an unbroken right of way to the marchers. During the early hours there was the sound of bands as the Virginia state troops and those from other sections arrived to take part in the procession. The United States artillery and cavalry marched from Fort Myers and the Arsenal while the ma- rine barracks and the navy yard con- ributed thelr sharé of bluefackets and marines. All of the various organizations converged toward the treasury, where the head of the procession rested until the president and cabinet were ready to take carriages for the capitol. The great public spectacle of the day was tho parade and escort of the president trom the White House to the east front of the capitol, where the president reviewed the marching thousands. At the head of the parade rode Lieutenant General Nelson A. Miles, chiet marskal, In full uniferm, mounted on a superb charger. His staff in- cluded Brigadler Gemeral Breckinridge and many other prominent officers, mounted and in uniform, presenting brilllant appear- ance. The military forces participating in- cluded artillery, cavalry, marines and sall- ors. First came the Second United States artillery, Lieutenant Colomel Myrick com- manding, and three battalions of artillery from other regiments. The Fifth United States cavalry, in thelr stunning uniforms and flowing yellow plumes, acted as the immediate escort of the president. Under Colonel Willlam A. Rafferty the troopers were assembled along the north curb of Pennsylvania avenue, fronting the Whito House, and as the president appeared the cavalry salute was given and the troopers wheeled in column of platoons and swept down the avenue toward the capitol. With the president were the various members of his cabinet in carrlages. Then came the Natiomal Guard of the District of Columbla, three regiments strong, Brigadler General Harries commanding. Vielng with the presidential party in the Interest excited was the notable pracession of governors of statea and territories with thelr staffs and military escorts. This gave a touch of individual interest to the people from many states and the chief executiv were warmly welcomed all along the line of march. The governors marched in the order of the admission of the states te the union, Governor Tucnell of Delaware com- ing first. Following th» governors came the Grand Army of the Republic, Spunish war veter- ans, the Old Guard aad specially invited guents. The parade moved down Pennsylvania avenue between two densely packed ma of humanity. As the parade reached the capltol 1t swung northward by O street and Delaware avenus to the plaza on the east front. The carria; of the president d members of the cabinet had moved ahoad, the president taking position on the reviewing stand directly at the easterly entrance of the capitol. He stood under a little canopy of red, white and blue, sur- rounded by his cabinet assoclates and prom- inent members of the semate, house of rep- come on to attend the celebration, received fr...“..... and various walks of public life. As the various divisions of the pro- cession pasted the reviewing stand the reg- ulation salute to the president was given and returned. At the close of the review the various organizations departed, only the United States cavalry regiment remain- Ing to escort the president back to the White House. Illustrious Company at Capitel. After the parade came imycsing exerc in the hall of the house of representatives, where gathered as distinguished a com- pany as Its walls had over held. On the tloor were the president and the members of his cabinet, ox-President Harrisom, the members of the senate and house, the am- bassadors and ministers of foreign countries In full court uniform, the chief justice and assoclate justices of the supreme court in their judicial robes, Lieutenant General Miles and many distinguished officers of the army and navy who had received the thanks of congress, the governors of more than half the states of the union and the commissioners of the District of Columbla, while the palleries were resplendent with the wealth and culture of the national capltal. As a spectacle nothing could have been more inspiring or impressive. The bright sun streaming through the ground glass celling, on which were the arms of several states, flooded the hall with Iight and heightened the effect of the gowns of the women in the galleries, the glistening uni- forms on the floor and the elaborate scheme of decoration which submerged the hall in a sea of color. Never before in the history of the house has the stald old leglislative hall, with its severe gold and white galler- fes and its plain marble rostrum, been dec- orated to anything like the extent it was today. A company of saflors from the gov- ernment yacht Dolphin had literally swathed the halls in flags. The froats of the galleries were hidden by them, the brass railings which marked off the lobbies wers festooned with them and the speaker's mar- ble rostrum was covered with them. Not more than halt were American flags, and this fact was at first rather startling uutil the full beauty of the color scheme dawned upon the spectators. From the galleriss every other flag was that of a foreign country. The royal flag of England was draped from the reserved gallery on the east, next tho executlve gallery, and the tmperial black, white and red of Germany on the right. The crested flag of Austro- Hungary, the tri-color of France, ths royal ensign of Russia, the green, white and red of Mexico, and even the red and yellow of Spain were there. But below, circling the d walling In the distinguished assem- were the buft and blue under which the continental army of Washington had achleved the Independence of the American republic, while confronting the audience back of the speaker's desk was the beautiful silk flag of the republic, and from it stretch- ing away on elther side over the palntings of Lafayetto and Washington, blazed the stars and stripes. The flags of the con- tinental army, many of which were old and tattered, had been brought /from the War department for the occasion. Stately Procession Marches In. The cumbersome swinging chairs had been removed from the hall and smaller chairs rubstituted to economize space. Circling the area in front of the speaker's rostrum were largo leather chairs for the president, his cablnet and the members of the supremo court. Thoe members of the house were seated on the lett, leaving the whole right of the hall for the visitors. The procession into the hall was a stately one. The door- keeper announced each division as it ap- peared at the main door. First came Sen- ator Frye, president pro tem, and the mem- bere of the senate. Senator Frye ascended the restrum and teok his place beside Speaker Henderson and the senators seated themselves in the first three rows on the right. The members of the senate were tollowed by Chiet Justice Fuller and the assoclate justices of the supreme court in their judicial robes. They were seated op- posite the place reserved for the president and his cabinet. Next came the ambassa- dors and ministers to the United States and other members of the diplomatic corps, headed by Lord Pauncefote. They were seated immediately behind the members of | the senate. The governors of states and territories, headed by Governor Scofield of Wisconsin, sat in the rear of the diplomatic corps. There was much curiosity to see Governor Roosevelt of New York and he acknowledged the attention manifested by | smiling and bowing to the right and lett. Following the governors came Livutenant General Miles, in full uniform, the commis- sloners of the District of Columbla and the | members of the centennial committee-at- large. The president and members of the cabinet were the last to enter the hall. They were escorted to the chairs reserved for them by President McFarland of the District commissioners. Meantime the speakers of the occasiom, Senators Hoar, Dantels and McComas and Representatives Payne and Richardson, had taken places facing the assemblage at the desk immedi- ately below the presiding officers. When all had been seated Speaker Hen- derson called the distinguishod ghthering to order and briefly explained the purpose of the celebration. Everybody ross and stcod with bowed Lead while Dr. Milburn, thy blind chaplain of the senate, offered an im- tve {nvocation in his wonderfully rich and vibrant volce. The speaker thex turned the gavel over to Senator Frye, who called the joint asesmblage to order and ‘utro- duced Mr. Richardson of Temnessce, the minority leader of the house, who deliv- ered the opening address on the transfer of government from Philadelphia. Mr. Rich- was generously applauded. e Tells Capital's History. Representative Sereno E. Payne of New York mext delivered an interesting account of the controversy that finally resulted in the location of the capital city on the Potomac, golng at some length into the struggles that were made by the different states for the honor and quoting from de- T TT———————————y WALKED OUT. On Foed, After Being Given U Lack of knowledge regarding the kind of food to give to people, particularly fn- valids, frequently causes much distress, whereas when one knows exactly the kind of tood to give to quickly rebulld the brain and nerve centers, that knowledge can be made use of. A young Chicago woman says: instances of the wonderful sessed by Grape-Nuts food are shown in my grandmother's and mother's cases. Grandmother's entiro left side became to- tally paralyzed, from w ruptured capillary of the brain. The doctor said it would be impossible for her to live a week. She could not take ordinary food and we put her on Grape-Nuts, in an effort to do all for her we could. “To the astonishment of the doctor and the delight of all of us, she slowly rallled and recovered. It was pronounced the first case of the kind on record. The doctor aid nothing could have produced this re- sult but food. “We have been led to use Grape-Nuts because of the effect on mother. She has been troubled with a weak stomach all her Iife, and the last few years been grad- ually losing welght and strength. She has tried everything almost that has boen re- commended by good authority, and until she ueed Grape-Nuts food, nothing seemed to do her any good.

Particular ref- erence was made to the political shrewd- ness displayed by Hamilton and Jefferson in connection with its final location. Hamil- ton's financinl measure for the assumption by the nation of the debts fncurred by the states in maintaining the revolutionary war had failed, and Hamilton, believing that the very existence of the union depended upon its reconsideration and passage, was making strenuous endeavors to accomplish that result. Virgiola and the south had voted against it. Hamilton proposed a compromise. Jefferson should help pass the assumption act, and Hamilton, as a quid Pro quo, should bring over enough votes to put through the act locating the seat of government on the Potomac. How this was brought about Mr. Payne told in Jeffer- son's own words and added This Incldent removes soma of the glamour which time has thrown over the acts of the "fathers” and reveals them to us as human beings, no better than the politicians of today.

McComas Plctures the Past. Senator Louls E. McComas of Maryland, in a briet address, sketched the “History of the First Century of the National Capital.” Ho drew a plcture of the scene from Capitol hill 100 years ago when President Adams first visited the place, spoke of the caplial city's uncertain growth, the demand for its removal and finally, after the civil war, the dawning of a day of fulfiliment, He closed as follows In the paved streets and avenues decorated with homes and churches which are triumphs of architecture; in the open areas bright with flowers and fountains; in the circles and parks adorned with statuary and monuments of our heroes on land und sea, of men of sclence and let- ters, of our statesmen and jurists; in the long succession of stately public bulldings, in _the gorgeous congressional ~library, worthy mansion of letters; in yonder monu- ment to the Father of Iis Country, |‘the marble column sublime " in its simple grandeur;” in this capitol, on whose first cornerstone the founder of the city laid his hand, this, already the noblest structure in the world, yet destined to be fairer within and grander without, in all these crowning glories of the fairest of all cities, our countrymen acclaim Washington thelr Delphi, thelr Mecca, We cherish 1t not for the beauty of the now populous city alone, but by the common sympathy that draws all Americans to this #pot dedicated to the republic.

Danlel of Virginia. The sena- tor's address was largely an eloquent and patriotic essay, “Anclent history,” he said, “Lad no precedent for the United States of America, and modern history has no paral- lel. The United States contains the most diversified and assimilative elements that ever composed & great nation. Our domain 18 the best located. Our longevity projects itself to the farthest reach of human spec- ulation, and the future is gorgeous with every sign of hope and courage.” The sevator referred to the hearty feelings of triendship the people have for each other, to the valor of the American soldier and to the strength of our electoral system as exhibited by the experience of over a cen- tury. “Our only strife,” he sald, “was over the heritage which empire folsted upon our arcestors against their will and which the republic has removed forever. We are the fcremost natlon of the world. If our prob lems be mighty they grow out of our might and have the mighty to deal with them."” Kind words were uttered by the senator in behalf of the proposed enlargement of the White House and an eloquent plea was made for a new building for the patent office, the stand on Capitol hill facing the senate hall, as a companion plece to the congressional library. Senator Hoar of Massachusetts concluded the exercises with a finished and scholarly historical oration. The exercises wero concluded at 6:15. After dissolving the joint session Senator Frye turned the gavel over to Speaker Hen- derson and the house Immediately ad- Journed. Reception at Corcoran Valley, The concluding feature of the celebra- tlon was a reception tonight at the Cor- coran Art gallery, from 8 to 11 o'clock, at- tended by the president and several mem- bers of his cabinet, governors of the various states and thelr staffs, who participated in the day's events, and a large contingent of offictal and resident society. President }c- Kinley, accompanied by Secretaries Wilson and Hitchcock and Secretary Cortelyou, ar- rived about 9:30 o'clock. They were met at the door by the reception committee and were escorted to the balcony.

Dec. 12.—Secretary Long today heard an argument by General Jo- seph K. McCammon, representing the Schoelder Steel company of Creusot, France, in behalf of thelr claims for in- demnification because of the use by the United States government of nickel-steel armor for warships. During Becretary Whitney's administration when an effort was making to secure for the United States navy the best armor then know: the Schoelder company submitted for test in competition with the great armor makers of England a nickel-steel armor plate. This test was conducted at Annapolls and re- sulted in demonstrating tie superiority of the nickel-steel compound. The United States government immediately adopted nickel-steel as a basis for its armor plate, but placed no more orders with the Schnel- der firm, and our domestic armor makers since then have used that material. First by case-hardening the plates by the Har- vey process, and mow by the use of the Krupp proe the original nickel-steel plate, simply tempered in an ofl bath, hi been greatly improved upon and i no longer used in its original form. Still the nickel steel compound remains the base of all modern armor plates, aad the Schnelder company is claiming royaltles from the United States government to the amount of about $375,000. Secretary Long reserved his decision. i PENSIONS FOR WESTERN VETERANS War 13 ors Re bered by the General Governmen WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.—(Special.)—The following pensions were granted: Issue of November 26: John M.

We are carrying the same boards this year—the Crown and the Archarena combination—and both boards are better than ever. We are also still carrying the Crolard board which has 12 games this year. We wish particularly to call your attention to our two new boards the ‘‘Combinola’” board which is made in four grades with all the best games of the other boards and some very interesting new ones of its own. These boards have a capacity of 19, 22, 30 and 40 games and you don't want to forget these games are suitable for any age and are just as fascinating for the old as for the young. The ‘‘Bombardo” we carry in two grades, one plays 30 games and one plays 50. We are headquarters for game boards in this city and can show you more variety in boards and a greater range of prices than any one else. Give us a call be- fore buying. Megeath Stationery Co.
