on the prairies. Mr.. Roosevelt has spent
much time among these men, and has
come to know them In the true light, as
staunch citizens Of new republic and
men of honor and integrity and the Of
spring Of that old Puritan stock which
founded the nation and by which It has
prospered. It was President Roosevelt's
desire that the public might see and
know these westerners as they are, and
not as they are sometimes represented.
The State of Tennessee sent an un-
usual delegation. The members Of the
Tennessee Legislature chartered q spe-
cial train and swooped down on Wash
ington en- masse on the evening Of March
3. This was the first time in the history
Of the country that a State Legislature,
attended an Inauguration. Tennessee
was also represented by six "long, lean
musicians" as they describe themselves,
rho marched up Pennsylvania avenue
keeping step with their own music, play
ed on six violins, each over 800 years
old. The Governor of Louisiana and his
staff, a company of infantry from Ala
bama, the Georgia Military Academy,
battery and company from Florida,
company and a battery from North Caro-
lima, two regiments from Virginia, and
another from Maryland, composed a rep
resentation of the entire South.
A uniform color scheme was adopted
for the House decorations. but in the
parade color ran riot Every hue and
combination of color was represented.
One organization appeared in royal pur-
ple another in olive green, several wore
bright red, while blacks and browns and
blues and grays were in abundance. The
delegation of famous Indian chieftains
wore all the colors obtainable. Nearly
$4,000 men took part in the parade and
it took nearly all afternoon to pass the
reviewing stand.

GREAT INAUGURAL PARADE.
Pageant Contained Many Extraor-
binary and Picturesque Features.

binary and Picturesque Features.
The Inauguration parade of 1905 had
more extraordinary features than any
which ever wendell its way between
cheering multitudes on Pennsylvania ave-
nue.. The first picturesque feature was
the Presidents personal escort of Rough
Riders: They rode government horses and
were dressed In khaki uniform, blue
shirts, blue polka dot neckties, service
SLOUGH hats, military gaqntlets, brown
leggings, black shoes and brass army
spurs. Four of the guard preceded the
Presidents carriage on the march; two
rode on each side, and the rest followed
The inaugural parade was national his
tory and national destiny told In pa
geantry, It was a drama without action,
In which the present stirring suggestion
interpreted each season; it was an epic
without words, written in high lights and
brilliant colors, in marching thousands
and cheering tens of thousands. 1t was
the story Of a people, their trials, their
triumphs and their ambitions, printed on
every aspect of the daylong scene. The
essential oneness of the Union, rising
above the individuality of sovereign
States and the widely diversified interests
Of 100000 of people scattered across a
continent, was typifed in the picture of
one man reviewing mile Oh mile Of swing
Ing battalions, while acres of massed hui
mainly looked on and cheered.
The parade was q military and civic
pageant projected upon a scale of mag
nifcence never before undertaken on a
like occasion. Undoubtedly in point of
numbers, spectacular features, pictur-
esqueness and gorgeous accessories it
eclipsed any inaugural display in the his
tory of the nation. Upward of $4,000
men were in line. Every army of the
military service was represented by crack
organizations, the National Guard of sew
eral States added to the brilIiancy OF
the military demonstrat ton, while civic
orders, political clubs, college students
eminent men, chief executives of States
with imposing stats, historical floats
symbolic of the progress of the nation
and bands almost without number con
tributed to the splendor of the spectacle

BLAZE OF FIREWORKS.
Great Pyrotechnic Display Ends Inau-
duration Ceremonies.

Surat1On ceremonies
Far above the granite finger of the
Washington monument a colossal fire
portrait of President Roosevelt, 200 feet
square. was painted on the heavens late
Saturday night, and to the accompany
ing plaudits from 100000 spectators, in
auguration day, with the fading OF the
last fireworks, became a memory. Next
to the parade the pyrotechnics were the
snowy spectacle of the day. The display
was more marvellous than any other lilu-
limitations ever seen in the capital, and
for three hours the stars were lombard
ed with shells and bombs that exploded
in mdair, filling the night with molten
streams of mult-colored fire.
AS a climax to q wonderful program
of set pieces and pyrotechnic oddities, a
ton of colored fire was lighted south or
the White House, while great silver
clouds. masses of shimmering splendor,
shot into the sky from mines below,
were pierced by the flight Of colored
bombs that burst with the effect that
would be made by 10000 rockets. While
the fire was still trickiing through the
atmosphere a large balloon from height
of one mile shot out an aerial device that
exnlodad and unfurled an immense Amer
lean flag 800 feet long and 100 feet wide,
which settled to the earth, only to be
ranlaced in the sky by bouquet of roses
that bloomed into portrait OF Mrs.
Roosevelt.

HEAVY COST OF INAUGURATION
ExDenses VIII Probably Total Higher
than Usual.

An inauguration is no cheap affair.
Money-barrels of it's required to pre-
mare for the comfort of the visitors. The
great fund that is necessary always IS
guaranteed by Washington's citizens,
who in turn are repaid by the visitors
to the capital from the four corners Of
the nation. The inaugural guarantee
fund. as it is called. was contributed this
wear by 200 individuals, whose contribu-
lions ranged from SIS to 81 900.
II cost about $4,000 to meet the ex-
penses of the Mckinley inaugural of
1901. while his first inaugural cost S69,-
900. The expenses of President Cleye-
lands second inaugural. in 1893, were
$50. 600. and those for the Inauguration
of President Harrison in 1889, $4,000.
1t is probable that owing TO the increas-
ed cost Of labor and materials the ex-
penses of President Rooseyelts Inaugural
ton hare been larger than is Usual.

THE INAUGURAL BALL.
Event Whose Name Is Misleading a
Scene of Lavish Sp1endOr.

The inaugural ball, held in the pension
building at night, was the final great
feature of inauguration day. This ball
which is not ball, by the way; only
grand spectacle on the most eXtravagant
scale-dimmed the glories of all its pred
ecessors. 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 run
ming over. 1t lowered many blameless
man with a happy, ever present boast
for all his remaining days.
The scene of these splendors was tho
great pension building, which is generous
enough to encompass a city square; and
tall enough to swallow a sky scraper.
In its center is a court large enough to
hold a church, spire and all, and the
court is surrounded by endless colonnades
rising tier above tier.
This hall, with gigantic proportions be-

fitting the great republic, was draped
with a wilderness of flowers and greens
and flags and gay stuffs, and the whole
flooded with the dazzling radiance of a
myriad of electric lights. Southern ivy
ran riot in delicate traceries. Evergreen
ropes circled the hall in curving pen
dants. Palms of many kinds reared their
fronded heads in lofty pride above ferns,
bays and lesser plants, while genestas
lent their yellow blossoms and spyrea
japonicas their white plumes to the maze
of color.
Probably no more beautiful scene was
ever witnessed in America than the ball
room presented. 1t was dream of
light effects and flowers. More than 1OO,-
900 roses and a quarter Of a million car
nations and spring blossoms were re-
quired to carry out the ambitious designs
of the decorators.
Most of the society women who at
tended the ball wore flowers instead Of
Jewels for ornaments. Probably so many
flowers-nor so many distinguished peo-
pie, nor so many fine gowns, nor so
many beautiful women-were never be-
fore gathered within the walls of an
American building as were to be seen
Saturday evening in the famous pension
building Within that barracks-like
structure was a vision of beauty unsur-
passed, amply compensating for its ugly
exterior.
The great event at the ball was the
arrival of President and Mrs. Roosevelt
and their party. They came about Q
o'clock and remained an hour, prone
nading once around the huge floor be-
tw cen dense crowds of admring and ap-
plauding onlookers. Afterward the Pres
ident held an informal reception in the
apartments set apart for his use.

FRIENDSHIP FOR ALL NATIONS
is THE PRESIDENTS PLEA.

mo weak nation that acts justly
and rightly shall ever have cause to
fear us, and no strong power shall
ever be able to single us out as a sub
ject for insolent aggression. "-Extrac ct
from President Roosevelt's inaugural
address.
I'VE have become a great nation,
forced by the fact Of its greatness into
relations with the other nations Of
the earth, and we must behave as be-
seems a people with such responsible
tiles. Toward all other nations, large
and small, our attitude must be one of
cordial and sincere friendship" Elk

''send-off" These westerners, these rep

pleasing and gratifying the man whom
they regard as one of themselves, and
cut a striking feature in th4 inaugural
parade They not only wore The conT en-
tional cowboy dress, but they rode their
own 'cayuses'' in the parade.
Among the well-known western char
acters that came along with the cow
punchers was "Deadwood Dick" Clark,
the once famous scout, bandit, hunter
and leader of the shotgun men, who
guarded the Wells-Fargo Express treas
ure coach from Deadwood to civilization
a quarter of a century or more ago. The
once famous "Deadwood Dick" the man
who, in pioneer days, in South Dakota,
was the terror of all bad men" in the
region and performed we'll nigh miracu-
lous feats of daring. is now a workman
in plain blue overalls in the Northwest
railway yards at Lead, five miles north
of Deadwood. After the red border days
he laid aside his rife, his brace OF pis-
tolls and his buckskin suit, and, donnlng
the garb of civilization, engaged in rail-
road work, and for number of years
he has been yardman at Lead. Tex
Burgess is another famous character who
was in line.
There was purpose in the COW punch
ers' presence. Many writers of fiction,
who have never been further west than
the AlIeghenies, have depicted the pioneer
and the plainsman. and have drawn won

THE EPPINGERS

A former Grand Jury returned indict-
ments against Jacob and Herman Ep-
pinger, July II, 1903, for obtaining
money under false pretenses. The Ep-
pingers had swindled banks and CAPT
talists of San Francisco and other
parts of California out of nearly $2,0O0,-
600 by their false pretenses. The mem
bers of that Grand Jury failed to file
an indictment against Ettlinger be-
cause the opinion prevailed that Ettlin-
ger was busy looking after the land
owned by the firm and spent most of
his time in the country, and that he at
least took no active part in these frau
dulent transactions. During the trial
of Jacob Eppinger it developed that
Bernard Ettlinger had signed the note
for $4,000 for money obtained under
false pretenses. That was the criminal
charge upon which Eppinger was then
on trial. Ettlinger was then wanted,
but could not be found, and it was
then said that he had gone to Europe,
had taken an ample fortune with him
and would remain away from Califor-
mia until the crash of his firm, one of
the most disastrous in the history of
CALIFORNIA; commerce, was forgotten.
Judging from the zeal of the present
Grand Jury, the next trial of Jacob
and Herman Eppinger may find their
former partner, Ettlinger, a witness in
the case, If not one of the defendants.
