Where fore, respecting their pose of high ux clusivcness, I have held myself pru dently aloof. Who am I that I should braid the tall of a mule in the hour of its restlessness? Speaking of tho uffragottes, divers lo cal influences, eaten of avarice, threw up grandstands in certain places and asked gold for seats wherefrom one might review tho suffragette parade. Be holding which, tho suffragettes sent a committee to these avaraclous Influences and declared themselves "In on" the procoeds. The A.

While, crowded to the rails with folk bo wrapped up in the coming ceremonies as to be greatly off their guard, tho town Is noticeably clean of thieves and few robberies are reported. This safe condition for both purse and person can be laid to the credit of Chief Sylvester of the Washington police. Ho is inde fatigable, sleepless; his mon are the same. Chief Sylvester has not had those police advantages enjoyed by the police heads of Chicago and New York, where an officer has but to keep Ida eye opon to count a thousand pickpockets In any week. On the other hand, he owns as natural a nose for a crook as a hound owns for a jack rabbit, and what few crooks put in their shifty appearance quickly found themselves on tho right for them side of the prate. Thus far, Chief Sylvester has kept the town like a church. Even the automobiles have slain no one, albeit, I must confess that they have kept many of ub jumping side ways. Veto of Inaugural Ball. Somewhat to my wonder, I learned that Mr. Wilson's pre-prcsldentlal veto of the so-called Inaugural ball was re garded as a good thing. It took? the garages and flower shops and dry goods stores between wind and water, short enlntr up the receipts of these industries by a full handful of ciphers. To human ity In the self-respecting herd, however, the velo brought a feeling of relief. There was an ever-present risk of horseplay, no? to say hoodlumlsm, attendant upon these functions. They were managed upon the free-for-all plan, and anyone who would, might come and did All things considered, the Common feeling Is that th'iy are best out of the way, Speaking of wjiat profits were shorn through the Inaugural ball veto from our dry goods friends and others, an old timer, who boasts that he has been through every inauguration alnco the far-away days of Franklin Pierce. In sists that to install a Republican presi dent means twice as much money in the capital pocket as the Installation of a Democrau "The Republicans," said he, "don't make half as much noise as the Demo cm Is, but they clink down twice as many dollars. There is move violence and less money about a Democratic than about a Republican." George Ade's Fable. This philosophy sounds) vastly like that of tiie gray and bridled police captain who declared that of every twenty bur Shirs or footpads brought in, nineteen would be Democrats, while of every twenty embezzlers or forgers, nineteen would be Kepubllcana. It keeps some what abreast, too. of George Ado's per ! sonally conducted Chicago investigation Into the question of divorce. "I collected one hundred ease-V said the great playwright, "in which the hus band sued for a i-epiu-allon from his wife.

Mr. Bryan stood In the parlor of his suite shaking hands until late In tho night, but never once did he say more than "thank you" when he was ad dressed as the "secretary of state."

In the president's room, Mr. Wilson was Introduced to the fifty members of the reception committee, while the stu dents grouped themselves In the espla nade just outside the station- Hero, as Mr. Wilson got into a White houso au tomobile, cheer after cheer came from the Princeton students. First they gave the "locomotive" cheer with its "sls-boom-ah" for "Wilson" and then for "Princeton." They alternated this with a thundering roar until the president started away. Cheers Along Route. Colonel Spencer S. Cosby, chief aide to President Taft and a naval and military aide from tho White house, accompanied Mr. Wilson to his hotel. There were cheers along the way as pedestrians rec ognized the party. The first person to greet the president elect and Mrs. Wilson on the, steps ot the hotel was "Captain Bill" McDonald, tho aged Texas Ranger and body guard to Mr. Wilson during the recent cam paign. "How are youl" exclaimed the president-elect and Mrs. Wilson at the same time, as they stepped rapidly forward and grasped Captain McDonald's hand3. The captain, who, it frequently is said In Texas, Is filled with so much lead from shooting affrays in tho ranger service that he would sink if ho went swimming. wa overcomo with joy. Ho wore a big folt sombrero, an incongru ous companion to the silk hat of tho president-elect. "I'd never a' died happy If I hadn't been here today." said Captain Bill, aa he walked arm-in-arm into the hotel with Mr. Wilson. Alumni in Evidence. The president-elect found the corri dors of tho hotel crowded with Prince ton alumni, wearing orange and black rosettes. The Wilsons went immediate ly to their suite on the fourth floor of tho hotel, whore John W. Wilson, a cou sin of the president-elect, and a score of relatives were waiting to receive them. Tho president-elect had been In his rooms but a few minutes when Vice President-elect Marshall and Mrs. Mar shall called to pay their respects.

Mr. Wilson sat in the rear parlor car with his tamlly, chatting most of the time with his friends, Colonel Thomas II. Birch, personal aide to Mr. Wilson as governor of Nov. Jersey, appeared for tho first time In gold braid uniform. It was one of the rare occasions when Mr. Wilson was accompanied bv a uniformed aide and ho was somewhat uneasy over It.

PRESIDEN T-ELECT GUEST AT SMOKER WASHINGTON, March 3. President elect Wilson was given a Princeton wel come to the national capital tonight, a welcomo that brought reminiscences of his many years as president of Prince ton university. The occasion was a smoker, at which graduates from all parts of the country gathered. For an hour the presldcnt-olect was the center of a wild demonstration of cheers and Eongs. Ho had not intended to make a speech, but the enthusiasm of It all moved him so deeply that he spoko for a few minutes, expressing his thanks for the confldenco that the Princeton alumni had reposed In him. "Fellows, I had noL expected to say anything," he said, with a notlceablo tremor in his voice, "because the only approprlato thing to say I can't say, bo cause there no words for it.
