Feb. 27.?Fitr WSJSSSJ the capital has bern In the hands of aa army of workmen. Weekdays and Sundays alike tho Labor of pre? paring tte city for tbs inauguration of Piesldsat* elect McKinley has ROWS lasitftj on. and now is nearly complete. Fla ga .ire flying cvetywhere, the public buildings and batata and many private houses are gay with bunting, and In san ry avail? able apace and behind nearly all of tha- windows facing the line nf thc par Had es tessporary stand a. from which to review tba procession, have been erected. It ia Impossible to .apprc-iaie the amount of work and money involved in St Sf ring for tbaf day, liow many hundreds of tatoola are employed or how many thousands of dollars ft costs. The city counts tho es pa-n di tura- aa nothing, and the money ic suh aaribcai faster than ll is needed, lt ls a great 00* casion for the capital, and tbs most ls made of lt Brat, as a matter of tact* tbs money exp< oded ls all I-turned by the thausanals tempted har" bj* the . . ra-mo.iy. Tbs money subscribed for th" ball ls not only got bark through the sale of tickets and bull privileges, hal a h.v.nlsome surplus ls l.'ft In the treasury, which lt hus boen the Invariable custom to allstrlbute amoru* tha- jaoor. Tha decorations of the Pension Building Court. BJbara IbO ball will take plate, are not yet fin? ished, but they have advanced far enough lo give an Idea of the effect, which ts entirely different from saythlag that has heretofore bees attempted, anal on a much more ambitious arnie. The great room has boen divided into three sections, ova* [ each of which a dome is erected. These domes are lined with white of Borne soft woollen mata rial that lends Itself admirably io the p-irpa-se. and trimmed with yellow rosettes of the same material, sug? gan! Iva. of the two metals. From the domes long festitons of these coloia will ba- carried to th" gal? leries. Immense floral wreaths marking the place whare they aro fastened. Tbs stiver and | ld sa-hi me is io be carn, al throughout, and thousands of electric lights shielded hy frosted globes will make the court brighter than day. Tho various Inaugural committees have, In con. nection with their work, had many amusing a \ peria.n.as, and their mall ls lilied with picturesque matt.r. A man from the South Wtites that he would ltkc to have the most conspicuous seal on the revlewlng-stand reserved for him. for which he ls willing io pay?not the regular ptice -hut s hand* BSSBS sum. ll" also wishes to be placarded as "tile original McKinley man"; for this ha? ts also willina; to pay handsomely Another ambitious worthy In foims ihe committee, that he has expended con alalirHhif money and much taste on s ball cos? tume for his faithful spouse, and begs that a des ri pt lon of it. which he incloses, receivi a promi? nent place in the papers, Requests io have their expenses paid on here and provision mad" for th- ir entertainment during Inauguration weah aro con? stantly received from patriotic cttlsens who are ult" certain that Mr. McKinlay could never have n elected without their valuable services. V Hut If tho committeemen nra annoyed by such Irrelevant literature the member of Congress does not ssjosgss, isnsssgfls are made on him for every* thing from a perambulator for the use of the baby who proudly -wears the name ol the next President to a part of his bed. which some frugal constituent propose* to sharai with him, rot to mention lha bushel of letters that come In every Congressional mall begging for offices. "The Civil Bervicn may protect those In ofllce." aald a weary and overworked member the other day, "but lt does not protect us poor Congress men. Tho majority of people hsUovs that lt ls only a bugaboo to frighten away undesirable applicants, and that lt we will we can procure places. There ls a mobilized army already In town to maka* an attack on the next Administration. The Otvll Service has no terrors for tha-m?nothing has. They must try an 1 fall before they will be con vlnoed." The Inauguration brings many curious people to town, and strange maka shifts are ptactkstd to enable them to ajlliSSS the f ?ivltles. Tramps and pedlers and soldiers of fortune generally Bnd their way to Washington at this ssasohj and they live how they can. At the last Ino.ugur.TScn of President Cleveland a policeman in the southw>**, ern part of the city, noticing toward morning thal one of the goa lamps on his beat had gone out before the appolnta-d time, went to look for tho cause. His sui prise was great on finding at Its haas a group of enterprising pa-ople. cosily crouped around a gas stove on which a pot of coffee was fragrantly steaming. A tube had been attached to the lamp and the gas utilized to supply their Stove on which they ware cooking a breakfast ..t Government expense. Washington has been given over to women for the lani two wotha First, the Congress of Mothers, which waa attended by hundreds more than wera cxptaoted, took posassalca of it, then the Daughters of tho Revolution held the largest and rgost suc* SSSaafaJ aession of ita life. This ls a popular organi? zation SJ tho Capital, and its popularity is in no small degree dear to the three Washington woman who have taken an active part In its history: lira Stevenson, the wife raf the VlCS Prssaisnt, its ac? complished presiding Offlosr; Mis* KHzabeth Hryant Joni.son. tbs National histcilan, and Dr. Anita Mswoasab M Igea, the National librarian. Mrs Stevenson made an SSC llent president, anl through her diplomacy and tact frequently sue* assded In compelling peace when tbs Indications were for war. Miss Johnson is an author of merit, host known by lier contributions to ihe literature concerning Washington, s booh on his portraits, and "Washington iw by Day," and performs hei Ol.) rous duties with signal ability and succeeds In Inspiring other people with her enthusiasm. Dr. Mag'-ta is tho daughter of Professor Simon New iamb, the wife of Professor Magee of tha- National Museum and a Physician of standing. Whatever sha> undertakes she does In a masterly manner, and ahe haa won the admiration ol her colleagues by tho conduct of h<r department and has succeeded In reducing its work to a perfect system. W. W. Thomas, of Portland. Me., former Minister from the t'nlta-d Statis to Sweden, is In town, and will remain until after the Inauguration. Mr. Thomas, who speaks the Swedish language flu? ently, made a vary acceptable Minister both to his own country and to the country to which he was accredited, and it is an 0|>en secret thai he is ambitious to return as t"nit? .I States Envoy io the Scandinavian peninsula. Mr. Thomas waa on the stump from the first to the luat gun of thc campaign and spoke from Maine to Dakota. Once, while speaking In a little town on the remote eastern shores of the Pine Tree State, beyond l>ar Harbor, he was a-xplainlng how, under the fras and unlimited coinage of silver ihe silver dollars would be worth but od eeatS, a sllvarlta in the audience cried out. "What's become of the other BO cents'.'" Instantly tho spaa ka r shouted back, as he shook his fist at th" fellow. "You stole it:" Amid the loud and derislva- laughter of the audi? ence the sllverlte shrunk out of the hall nnd there were no more Interruptions that evening. Of couts,.. Mr. Thomas spoke in Ni w-Swcdan, In tiie baohwoodi of Arooetook County, and he ad* ?reseed his "children In the woods," as they delight to call themselves, In their native tongue. Many Oilier spellbinders spoke on the sam.- night, no doubt, all over the country, bit perhaps no Other was the founder as weil as the orator i.f tho town where he held forth. His speech must have touched the hearts and appealed to tha reason of his audience, for when Election Day came around and the ballots were counted in Mr. Thomas's Swedish settlement the vote stood for sound money 13?.. for silver, 0. This ls better than li to l. and1 snakes the little town of New-Sweden the banner .Republican town of the United States. COLUMBIA YACHT CLl H MEETISG.

THE STATE HOARD OF CHARITIES. INCORPORATIONS OF INSTITUTIONS AP PROVKl) IN THK 1.A8T YKAH. Tho policy of thc State Hoard of Charities, as declared In a report mad* to the Legislature Inst week, ls to UrgS a wise economy In thc expenditure of public or other BMMMjra bf thc institution!! sub? ject to Its supervision, and' the present rc-oin mendettoos win he found to mdlcate no oopsrturs from such policy. The Hoard liclleves in gnat* lnit to the charitable Institutions of the State what? ever means are necessary to enable them to con? tinue beneficent work, bal it insists that the mom y Bhall he. used In n wise nnd discriminating man? ner, to the end that the evils of pauperism nnd crime shall be diminished and the State thereby benefited, and not for the purposes of fostering the growth und perpetuation of the institutions as such, or of gratifying the pride of the managers or of the localities. The Bamber Slid classification of beneficiaries In the Institutions subject to the supervision of the Board are stated to be as follows: Idiotic sad tc Me iinii'ie.i. i.f.'2 Epileptics In poorhouse! and almshouses. ttl Blind . 1"' Deaf . 1 .Ms Dependent children .

They are the Brlghtstds Day Nursery and Kindergarten, the Greenwich Homoeopathic Dispensary of New-Tort <"ity. the Loomis Sanitarium for Consumptives,and the,Oeorge Junior Republic Association of New York City. Six of the Institutions are in Brooklyn.

Th.- appended paragraphs of the repori cf tho stat.- Board -.t Charities will bs read with Interest: Willie :h<- Stats Hoard of Charities is empowered i.v law to approve or disapprove of the organisa? tion ami Incorporation of charitable Institutions, societies and sasoclatlons, and to license institu tons for the feeble-minded, it has no direct au? thority to dissolve sucii corporations, ur to revoke licenses. The Hom.i believes thal the hes- In* tercets of the Stat.- requlri thai au :h pow! ra should be conferred upon lt, thereby providing a speedy way of (losing unworthy and undesirable institu? tions, of which there ara not a few, lt is tlie rule of the Board to ri i iir*- a very care? ful inquiry Into ? very application for Incorporation or for license, and to take final action only upon a detailed written report from th*- commissioner of tbe dlstrlci wherein the proposed Incorporation seeks establishment. The Hi.ard believes that there has been iii sunn localities in this State ;i greater growth of charitable Incorporations than necessity demands, and it grants Its approval univ when en? sured that actual need exists, and thal th*- corpora? tion, If established, promises to be conducted In a wis.-, beneficent and businesslike manner, witta sufficient funds in prospect for its satisfactory maintenance. lt insists thnt all institutions, aocletlea and aa* itlons subject to Its supervision shall keep care? ful and correct ai counts of th. ir financial and other operations, so that they shall r*:i<iily be ac? ct aallile and und. rstood. The system of outdoor medica] and surgical re lief through the medium of the dispensary haa been made the subject of a special investigation and report. This mi Ihod of charl;.iib- work among the poor came to us from England, and found Ita first expresalon In the organisation of tha New Tork Dlepenaary in 1791. For thirty-seven years, or until ISSI, tins dispensary waa ihe only Institu? tion of the kind m this Btate. From 181 to ISM) these institutions Increased in proportion to the Increase of the population, and then- methods of procedure do not seem to havi been the aubject .if criticism. During the last twenty-flvi years, how? ever, thi se Institutions have rapidly Increased, and thi competition haa been bo tr.-.ii that the que* aa been raised na to thc r*.11 value of thi-* method of administering relief, l; appears I ? m this investigation that tin- dispensary, ui di r pi iper management. I* a most Important Institution among the charities of the Mate. Bul to fulfil Itt proper mission, it should be bo organised nnd man aced that only the really eli k poor should be abie to iecura iii beneflta. Il has been found that the managers of dlapensarlea rai ely institute any ade? quate Inquiry into the moana or ability of patience to pay for the medical services of tlie physician or fer" tin- medicines which they receive, in some instances, the managers of dispensarli ? havi boast? ed of the wealth of their patients, lt is very evi? dent that when any so-called charities have so far departed from their original objects and purposes as to Invite or even allow persona of wealth or moderate competence to enjoy th lr benefits they have 'eased to fulfil their proper functions, and should be suppressed.
