was similarity of uniform in the mill

BLAZE OF FIREWORKS.
Great Pyrotechnic Display Ends Imam
guration Ceremonies.

AGTGIuOnlCS.
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 illu-
limitations ever seen in the capital, and
for three hours the stars were lombard
ed with shells and bombs that exploded
in midair, filling the night with molten
streams of multi-colored fire.
As a climax to a wonderful program
of set pieces and pyrotechnic oddities, A
ton of colored fire was lighted south of
the White House, while great silver
clouds, masses of shimmering splendor,
shot into the sky from mines below,
were pierced by the flight IF colored
bombs that burst with the effect that
would be made by $4,000 rockets. While
the fire was still trucking through the
atmosphere a large balloon from height
of one mile shot out an aerial device that
exploded and unfurled an immense Amer
lean flag 800 feet long and $50 feet wide,
which settled to the earth, only to be
replaced in the sky by bouquet of roses
that bloomed into a portrait of Mrs.
Roosevelt.

The Inauguration parade OF 1905 had
more extraordinary features than any
which ever wendell its way between
cheering multitudes ON Pennsylvania ave

the Presidents personal escort of Rough

the story of people. their trials. their
triumphs and their ambitions, printed on

The parade was military and civic

like occasion. Undoubtedly in point of
numbers. spectacular features, pictur-
esqueness and gorgeous accessories it
eclipsed any inaugural display in the his

and had prominent place in the march

ended the Governor shook hands with the

said:

An Inauguration is no cheap affair.
of it's required TO pre-
pare 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
year by 200 individuals, whose contribu-
tons ranged from So to $1,000.
1t cost about $4,000 to meet the ex-
penses of the Mckinley inaugural of
1901. while his first inaugural cost S69.-
600. The expenses OF President Cleve-
lands second inaugural, in 1898. were
S5s. Oo0. and those for the inauguration
of President Harrison in 1889, 10000.
1t is probable that owing to the increas-
ed cost Of labor and materials the ex-
penses Of President Roosevelt's Inaugural
ton have been larger than is usual.
