How Winter Palace Was Built.

Almost every stone OF the walls
and every square yard of the plaster
lining the winter palace of the czars
cost life. Nicholas had given the
order that the palace must be rebuilt
in year, and what was human life
against the despot's will? Six thou
sand men were kept at work day and
night. with the palace heated at 30
Reamur to dry the walls rapidly,
while the temperature outside was
often 80 degrees below zero Reamur.
The men could only work with ice
packs on their heads, and, experienc-
ing daily change of GO degrees, they
died by the score every day. BY the
end of the year the death roll was
some thousands, but the palace was
finished.

The imposing form of Associate
Justice John Marshall Harlan, who is
almost heroic in stature, was the first
to catch the eye of the vast crowd.
Flanked by the marshal of the SUI
preme Court and the marshal of the
District of Columbia, Justice Harlan
led his colleagues, garbed in flowing
robes OF black, topped with satin skull
caps, to their seats at the left of the
tribune. After brief pause, Count
Cassini, the Russian ambassador and
dean of the diplomatic corps, mar
shaled forth the ambassadors and
ministers of foreign countries.
Mrs. Roosevelt and Mrs. Fairbanks
were next escorted to seats Just out
side the tribune. The presidents chill
dren were with Mrs. Roosevelt, and
Mr.. Fairbanks two sons, students at

order. Then came Speaker Cannon
and the house of representatives. The
instant the tall form of the vice presi-
dent appeared a swelling cheer burst
from the crowd. Mr. Fairbanks bowed
repeatedly before taking his chair.
Secretary Hav and other members
Of the cabinet were ushered to their
chairs, and at their heels came Ad-
miral Dewey and Lieut.. Gen. Chaffee.
Dewey, and the hero Of Manila bay
showed that he was pleased.
The governors Of states and terri
tories and the other invited guests
followed in indiscriminate fashion, and
in short time all was in readiness
for the coming Of the chief executive.
President Roosevelt advanced from
the door Of the capitol, arm in arm
with Chief Justice Fuller. Instantly
from all parts of the eight acres Of
humanity, arose prolonged, tumultu-
GUS shout. Behind the president and
his white-haired companion came
James H. Mckinney, clerk of the su-
preme court, bearing a ponderous
Bible. When the demonstration ceased,
Chief Justice Fuller, his snowy locks
falling to his shoulders, pronounced
the oath. President Roosevelt's voice
was easily audible at some distance
when he repeated the formal declara
ton prescribed in article II of the
Constitution: 81 do solemnly swear
that | will faithfully execute the Office
of president of the United States, and
will to the best of my ability, preserve,
protect and defend the Constitution of
the United States"
A second later he bowed and
pressed his lips upon the open pages
OF Holy Writ. Again erect, he faced
the people, and for an instant perfect
silence held. A signal had been
flashed from the dome of the capi-
tol to the navy yard. whence came

inaueurated chief executive. The
tension was broken. and roar of
cheers resounded far and wide across
the plaza. For many minutes the
jangle of sounds continued before the
president could find chance to be-
gin his inaugural address.
The conclusion of the address was
the signal for another ovation, dur
ing which Mr.. Roosevelt shook hands
with most of the notables who pressed
about the tribune. Then he was es-
corted back to the rotunda Of the
Capitol and thence TO the executive
chamber, where he held a brief receD-
