Mayor Drennen Says Fight for Better Highways Will
 Be Continued
TO FINISH AVENUE A ROAD
City or County Will Likely Complete lt-Mayor Drennen Will Att tend the Convention in
 Montgomery.

The work of the good roads convention and the practical demonstration of road building has had lasting effect upon the municipal and county authorities The good roads train left for Mobile yes- terday morning.
 Mayor Drennen feels confident that the Avenue road will soon be completed
 When that road is completed" said the Mayor yesterday afternoon, 1t will be one of the best highways in the coun- ty. and will without doubt be the pop ular route from Woodlawn and Avon dale to the city.
 The organization of the North Ala bama Good Roads Association has put more progressive ideas into the heads of the citizens of the various counties in this part of the state and will eventually be great factor in the upbuilding of the state.
 ''The city of Birmingham spent about $500 in the experiment." continued the Mayor, "and we certainly got the worth of our money. It will l&equire but lit tie more work and we will have a beautiful road from the city to Avondale. This road will have one great advantage over other highways which will make 1t very pop ular for pleasure seekers as well as gem eral business traffic. This advantage lies in the fact that there are no dangerous railroad crossings.
 Crosses Only Two Tracks,
 ''The road does not cross but two tracks, and they are practically dead, only switch engines moving over them occasionally in pulling cars in and out or the roundhouse at Thrty-eighth street. l havn't the slightest doubt but this road will be completed at an early date. If the city and county do not build 1t. 1 believe the property owners themselves will see that 1t is completed. The Birm- ingham Realty Company has a large amount of property along the proposed route"
 Discussing the future work of the Good Roads Association, Mayor Drennen said he intended to keep up his work for bet ter roads and he felt sure that every member of the organization would do likewise.
 My plan,' explained the Mayor, 'is to form a state organization to be known as the Alabama Good Roads Association. and let that body frame laws needed for the building of highways and present them to the next Legislature. AS is well known I am an earnest advocate of the creation of a state office to be known as the commissioner of public highways, and I believe the Legislature will readily see the advantage of such law. l am not in favor of commission composed of three persons. but I think one man should be appointed to the place and di- rect the building of roads. He should be a practical engineer, and have a fair understanding of financiering.
 As on Business Basis.
 He should be paid a good salary and his office should carry with it as much weight as the office of commissioner of agriculture. We cannot get good man without paying him and I am in favor of building our highways on purely busi- ness basis
 The Mayor said he would attend the Montgome " meeting, and would present his views to the convention organized at that place.

eXtrayagant Of scales-dimmed the glo-
ries of all its predecessors. 1t was the
dream of thousands crystallized into life
and light, color and rhythm. 1t filled
many a fair woman's cup of ambition
trimming full and running over. 1t dow
cred many a blamcless man with a hap
by, ever-prescnt boast for all his remain
ing days.
The scene of these splendors was the
great pension building, which is generous
enough to encompass n city; square and
tall enough TO swallow a sky scraper.
In its center is court large enough to
hold a church, spire and all, and the court
is surrounded by endless colonnades ris-
ing tier above tier.
This hall, with gigantic proportions be-
fitting the great republic, was draped
with wilderness of flowers and greens
and flags aud gay stuffs. and the whole
flooded with the dazzling radiance of a
myriad OF electric lights. The walls of
the court were hidden under endless
stretches of white draperies. spalshed
with golden cloths in sweeping loops aud
graceful circles.
The music was continuous. The Ma
rine band Supplied promenade music,
while Hala--'s orchestra of 125 pieces
played for the dancers. The musical pro-
gram embraced selections Of the highest
order. The ball program was repeated al
FIVE concerts, to which the public was ad-
mitted for nominal admission: together
with selections by a picked orchestra of
GOO voices supported by be band and
orchestra. These concerts we're expect
ed to help in q. large measure to defray
the cost Of the ball.

behold such a spectacle IS that which
thos. n the plaza saw before them as
the President took the oath of office
In front. acres and acres of humanity,
with upturned faces. In trees and upon
the ornamental lampposts decorations of
human form and shape. Clambering over

the grandest of all national statehouses,
hundreds of adventurous youths and men
High upon the noble dome, peering over
hazardous lodges, peepins ont from ey-

representatives of Americans who will
See or die.
The most imposing, If not impressive,
portion of the inaugural ceremonies I'M
doubtedly took place in the United States
Senate chamber and was witnessed by
1000 people. This was the swearing in
of the new Viee-President and the in
auguration of the Senate for another
term of Congress. These ceremonies
were very simple in themselves, but the
formality with which they were invested.
their exclusiveness and the gathering of
distinguished men made it an occasion
of peculiar interest.
There were gathered all that is con-
SlueEeu great III IL republic. mere WERE
the representatives of the highest legis-
lative bodies in the world, the Senate and
House of Representatives of the United
States; there was the highest tribunal
in the world, the Supreme Court of the
United States; there were men who
would hold the highest elective offices in
the world, the President and Vice-Presi-
dent of the United States of America.
In addition there were the representa-
tives of every civilized government on
the face of the earth gathered to do hon
or to the administration of the United
States.
The galleries filled early, and it was
a select gathering that witnessed the
scene, select, however, only in the ia
voritisnl of those who controlled the tick
cts of admission. for there were as dis
tinguished citizens out on the street and
in the great throns in front of the cap
itol as there were in the Senate galleries.
1t could not be otherwise, when two hun
dred thousand came. and only one thou
sand could be admitted.
At night came the ball, the great social
function of the day. This took place in
the pension building, which has been
used regularly for the purpose since it
was first erected.

Fireworks blazed gloriously at night
and in the magnihcently decorated pen
sion building youth and beauty, official
power and political fame united in the
brilliant Inauguration ball
The second Inauguration of William
Mckinley was even more grandly impress
sive than the first. For more than three
months the Inauguration committee. of
which the Hon. J. j. Edison was chair
man, had been industriously at work on
plans and details. While preserving all
the tim A-honored features of inaugurS |
ceremonies, they introduced many new
ideas which they felt would greatly inn
prove the inaugural spectacles. In tho
arches that spanned the streets and in
the decorations of the buildings were
shown evidences of the progress of the
nation, and the inaugural procession
embracing the army. the Guardsmen, the
e. A. r.. the navy, civic bodies, religious
and educational interests, and exhibits of
material resources, the decorations of the
streets and buildings, the receptions and
the inaurural ball all kept this central
idea before the mind just so far as it
was possible for them 10 do so. The
generals participating in the Spanish war,
those conspicuous in the suppression of
the Philippine rebellion, admirals who
fought at Manila bay and at Santiago,
the regulars in khaki. the Guardsmen in
their gay uniforms. the middies in their
jaunty uniforms, the campaign marching
clubs with brilliant equipage, the civic
bodies each conspicuous for some allie
gorica representation, the trophies Of
war on land and sea, etc, combined to
make a panorama of the nations power
and resources perhaps never exeelled in
the history of the country.

Washington correspondence:
William Mckinley is again President
of the United States. He pronounced
the oath of office with impressive soleni-
nifty as he stood before the white-haired
chief justice ON the Capitol plaza Mon
day afternoon, and then reyerently kissed
the Bible opened before him. That was
the final act of the making of President,
after the people had expressed their will
at the polls more tl.an four months be-
fore, and the electoral college had deelar-
ed the will of the people in Congress
three months later. There were inter
mediate steps and many TO- malities, but
this simple act of the takir of the oath
to preserve, protect md defend the con-
stitution of the Unitel States was the
eliminating act by which William Me
Kinley again placed the crown of author
ity upon his head and became the chief
executive of over 100000 of people.
The program was carried out in detail
despite drizzling rain which set i'll after
the ceremonies we well under way. In
