since the Civil war. The South sent
up it's warriors and it's state officials.
Men who fought each other for years
under different flags; men who fought
together in the war with Spain under
one flag; executive officers of the
states who upheld the Stars and
Bars and those who stood for the flag
of the Union marched together in re-
view before their common president, a
soldier of the republic. With these,

Our New Nationality,
came marching representatives from
the Philippines and Porto Rico, lands
where the sunset fading from the flag
in the far Pacific is the sunrise on it's
folds along the Atlantic horizon.
Throughout the week Washington
was the Jerusalem of the nation to
which it's tribes were crowding from
all it's borders. Saturday fully 100000
visitors gaZed with wonder and un-

The whole city was a garden bios

advancing waves of color had been
sweeping through all its streets. Not
only was the line Of march artistically
decorated to a degree neve before at
tanned, but no street in'the city was
without it's national colors. Acting
under a suggestion from the inaugural
committee the board Of education had
requested its $4,000 school children to
see that each one Of their homes
Displayed the Flag.
It was a request responded to by an
army of children. The committee on
street decorations, street illumination
and parks and reviewing stands
worked together with artistic taste
and transformed two and a half miles
OF the city's noted avenue into a fitting
highway for the nation in its countless
representative bodies to march as an

day was magnificent; by night, under
the committees scheme of illumina-
ton, the tremendous crowds wandered
in fairyland.
The presidents reviewing stand, in
front of the White House, was the cen
ter of the court of history, which eX-
tended two blocks from Fifteenth
street. Along each side of the avenue
were noted historical figures in great
numbers from the st. Louis exposition.
This triumphal pathway, along which
the kings of the earth might have
deemed it an honor to be conducted,
was cleared and closed to cars ana
vehicles at an early hour. The police
management was perfect. 1t was a
Royal Highway
upon which the president early en-
tered and proceeded to the capitol to
sign such bills as congress might pass
in its closing hours.
Gen. Chaffee had provided a well or
dered and perfect cavalry escort
which could have rapidly passed over
the line and made possible the prompt
r%eopening of the streets to the car
lines and the public in order that the
residents of the suburbs and the great
er portion of the city might reach the
centers of interest with the least de-
lay. But the Grand Army, as is its
habit. insisting on acting with this es-
cort. and the president, sharing the
universal appreciation of its past
deeds, yielded, and his rate of progress
to the capitol was reduced to the pa
thetic pacc Of men who were fast APP
preaching the scriptural limit of life.
But the decay had its compensations.
Many thousands had opportunity to
see and greet the president as his
cortege slowly passed along the two
miles from the White House to Capitol
hill. For three hours this national

But the skilled officers of each house

rising.
Roosevelt Takes Oath.
All this prolonged form, with it's
solemn progress and weighty dignity,
was preliminary to the ceremonies
outside, and the march at once began
to the immense platform where the
president was to deliver his inaugural
and take the oath of office.
Here the great pageant for the ben
eft of the public began to unfold itself,
and the people were On hand to see.
For the day, a long winter had given
way and the never more welcome sun
blessed the occasion. Surrounding the
plaza in front of the presidents plat
form were the forming lines of the
main parade, while from the adjacent
streets everywhere projected the
heads of columns, military and civic,
waiting to fall in their places in line.
With the appearance of the presi-
dent from the senate chamber the
shouting began, swelling into a roar
like Niagara, rising to cyclOnic effects
and continuing while the senate and

supreme court, the heads of the army

representatives of every branch OF the
government and a great company or

his hand upon the Bible held by the

the oath, kissed the book at the end,
and Theodore Roosevelt became pres

Accompanied by his escort and fol-

he started for the White House. 1t

of fifteen thousand which the building
would hold. The street decorations
were viewed by a solid marching col
umn filling the wide pavements of the
avenue and the street itself and
reaching for two miles and a half.

Jackson's Grandson Is There.

Those from the South recalled that
sad but most brilliant fighting at New
market when the cadets of the Vir-
ginia military institute were called
into the field under Stonewall Jackson.
With the Georgia cadets now marched
a grandson of Stonewall Jackson. AS
a whole it was a column that took fair
rank with the perfection of West
Point and Annapolis.
The civic grand division of eight
brigades in three divisions, made up
of over fifty organizations, was in
every respect better organized than
ever before, and so, like the whole
column, more interesting. Though
strictly civilian, y. H. Warner, it's
committee organizer, had given it q
semi-military character by appointing
Gen. Howard and Gen. Joe Wheeler as
leading military features. In all its
parts it was an attractive spectacle,
worthy of the notable occasion. The
whole column, military and civic, I'M
der Gen. Chaffee and his staff, marched
with a steadinesS and celebrity hitherto
unattalnea.
