with the duties of the high office to
which he was TO be inaugurated.
Hush During Ceremony.
At a sign from Chief Justice Fuller
the clerk of the supreme court stepped
forward holding a bible. A hush fell
over the crowd. The president raised
his right hand and the oath to support
the laws and constitution ofthe United
States was reyerently taken amid deep
silence
When this had been concluded there
was practically no demonstration and
the president began his inaugural adj
dress. AS soon as he finished speak
ing he reentered the capitol and as he
disappeared within the building a sig
nal was flashed to the navy yard and
a roar of p guns was begun in Off
ciaI salute to the president.

! executive, but this fact did not prevent
a general craning of necks to observe
him on this, the browning occasion of
! his career. All eyes were turned upon
him as. accompanied by the congress
siOnal committee and the members of
the official household, he walked down
the center aisle of the chamber in the
wake Of the conveying sergeant at
arms. who placed him in a big red
| leather chair Immediately in front of
/ the presiding officers desk, where him
| self an interested spectator, and still
! flanked by the committee on arrange
ments, he sat facing the other specta-
tors. He had gone directly to his seat,
| looking scarcely to the right or to the
| left, but evidently never unmindful of
the splendid scene about him.
He had once before been Il par
ticipant in an inaugural ceremony, but
then only as the recipient of second
honors. He was there now as the head
of the people of the nation, and by
right of their choice.
All Ready for Climax.
But the chief executive had very lit
tie time for reflection. Inauguration
time had arrived. The man who had
shared with him the hOnors of the
last election had been ushercd in in
the person of Senator Fairbanks. and
was even now standing where on the
4th of March 1901, Mr. Roosevelt him
self had stood, to take the oath of
the vice presidential office. Senator
Fairbanks had been escorted by the
mil lT4sg farn1G FafL n a
platform on which sat President pro
tempore Frye and Speaker Cannon, the
former of whom was on the eve of
performing the last act of his present
term in that office By administering
the oath which would make Mr. Fair
banks not only vice president. but also
the permanent presiding officer of the
senate.
Senator Frye does all things with
promptness and decision. The two
official time pieces were agreed in
prociaiming the hour of - when ac-
cording to the requirements made and
provided, the 5Sth congress must come
to close. the 59th congress be started
on it's career. and the new presiding
officer introduced and installed. Mr.
Frye had already said farewell: the
visitors were in their seats. Not
moment was lost. Rising in front of
the slender but towering form Of his
successor. the president pro tempore
repeated to him in the form of an
official oath the few impressive words
which transformed the Indiana leader
from the position OF a senator TO that
OF vice president Of the United States.
Closes 5Sth Congress.
Profound stiffness characterized the
dense assemblage while it was in pro-
gress. none present apparently failing
10 appreciate that an act Of sacred
national import was being performed.
The oath concluded. the two leading
participants shook hands cordially, and
SIR. Frye spoke a few hurried words
Of congratulation. With a last posi-
tive thump OF the gaval, the Maine
senator relinquished his position as
president pro tempore by announcing
the final adjournment Of the 5Sth con
gress.
Without a look backward, he vacat-
