HOW SUNDAY WAS SPENT.
Inauguration evening was a quiet, but
crowded Sunday. From early morning
till toward midnight. every street in the
down town section was crowded. The
local churches kept open doors both day
and evening and were crowded with
worshipers at every service, many of
the visitors being in uniform and remind
ing old residents of war times Sabbaths
For such as sought spirituous rather
than spiritual consolation, there was a
rather dry and Improbable time. The
local anti-saloon league had appointed
a large vigilance committee to see that
the Sunday closing law was enforced,
and their efforts met with considerable
success. There was but little sign of
drunkenness on the streets.
The Porto Rican contingent in SOM
breros and Toreador jackets, mixe1 up
with the jackies of the naval contingent
and the lighter blue of the national guard
was everywhere in large majority There
were not lacking strange combinations of
uniform that distinguished several of the
crack volunteer cavaly troops.
MACE LOST ITS GRIP.
Early in the day several hundred blue
coated soldiers from one of the nearby
states took possession of the house end
of the capitol The house was in recess
until p. m, but the emblem of legisla
tive authority, the mace, stood in posi-
ton as warning that the dignity of the
house must not be invaded But the
soldier boys were oblivious to such con-
gresSional conditions. Some of the blue
jackets ascended to the speakers rostum
and hammered for order. Others oc-
cupied the seats of members and for the
time being the floor of the house of
representatives for the first time In its
history presented a completely martial
aspect The soldiers were after souvenirs
and some of them got them to the dis
comforture of members. The officers of
the house finally came on the scene and
expelled the intruders.
GUESSING ON PARADE.
The final estimate of the size of the
inaugural parade, as given out at mill
tary headquarters tonight, was, mill
tary, volunteer and regular, 22240, vet
eran organizations 200, civic societies l.
SG0-
Out of this number total of about
Il, 800 arrivals had been officially reported
to the reception committee early in the
evening. Gen Francis Greene, the grand
marshal, estimates that the parade will
take four hours to pass the reviewing
stand if no unforeseen contingencies arise.
Assuming that the inaugural parade
actually gets under way on it's return
from the capitol by p. m, this will make
it 7:3o p. m, by the time the last section
passes the White house
The day at the White house was un-
eventful. The building was closed to the
public, and but for the visit Of Vice Pres
.dent-elect Roosevelt the day indoors was
not noticeably different from many 9TH
ers The president, accompanied by his
brother, Mr.. Abner Mckinley, and Mr..
Hawks. a visitor, attended church in the
morning and on his return found that
