VAST MULTTUDES SEE
ROOSEVELT TAKE OATH

All this prolonged form, with its
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 bene-
hit 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. The windows of
the capitol were crowded; there was
deep fringe of spectators along the
roofs of the senate and house and the
porticoS of the dome. The trees of
the park were loaded with boys and
men; the broad acres of the park it
self were crowded with thousands
upon thousands. Back of this the win
dows, roofs and porches of the library
of congress accommodated a multi
tude and every residence fronting on
the park added to the imposing scene.
All these were the plain people. Sur
rounding the plaza in front of the
presidents platform were the forming
lines of the main parade, while from
the adjacent streets everywhere pro-
jected 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
members of the house, the cabinet, the
supreme court, the heads of the army
and navy, ambassadors and ministers,
representatives of every branch of the
government and a great company of
guests filed out of the senate doors
and filed the immense platform.
At length all was ready for the
crowning ceremony. The sea of hu-
manity was stilled. The president adj
vanced to take the oath of office. With
his hand upon the bible, held by the
chief justice, he reverently repeated
the oath, kissed the book at the end,
and Theodore Roosevelt became presi-
dent by the votes of the people, fol-
lowing the unbroken line of soldier
presidents which his party has in
stalled since the close of the civil war.
He then delivered his inaugural, which
surprised his hearers by its brevity.
AS the ceremony closed he was again
greeted by the roaring cheers of the
fhrnn

DAZZLING SCENES OF
THE NIGHT FOLLOW

turning from the pageant OF the day,
the doubled population of the city dis
posed itself for the three imposing
spectacles of the night, the promenade
at the pension office, misnamed a ball;
the fireworks on the white house lot,
and the dazzling street decorations.
The attendance at the ball was lin
tied to the twelve or fifteen thousand
which the building would hold. The
street decorations were viewed by a
solid marching column filling the wide
pavements of the avenue and the street
itself and reaching for two miles and
a half.
No such brilliant scene of decora-
ton and illumination was ever wit
messed before in this country or any
other, for here electric effects had
their origin and have their greatest de-
velopment The dome of the capitol
stood white against the darkness, illu-
minated by searchlights from the top
of the Washington monument, and the
monument itself by the same method
was made visible for many miles.
The fireworks exceeded all previous
displays. There were no ordinary
pieces. Rockets, with their dangerous
sticks, were discarded. The set pieces
were of large dimensions-such as a
wheel more than a hundred feet in
diameter, presidential piece 200 feet
in length and a national flag 300 feet
long carried up a thousand feet by bal
loon and there developed in the sight
of the city and beyond.
The decorations of the ballroom most
successfully conformed to the determi-
nation that this Inauguration should
exceed all previous efforts. All was
accomplished that could be effected by
extended masses of color, spreading
about and over the immense room and
its galleries. with miles of evergreen
vines, carloads of cut flowers, flags in
artistic combination, electric lights by
the thousands, and electric pieces
large and small, with one of unrivaled
proportions carrying 5000 lights of
varied colors woven into a most beau
tiful design The instrumental music
and the trained orchestra of 500 voices
filled the vast building to it's remotest
recesses with the perfection of musical
attainment
In Difference to the Sabbath all GER
emonies stopped at midnight, but il
was well toward morning before the
nights were turned down on the most
brilliant spectacle that Washington had
seen in its long line of notable oeca-
sions. Till long after midnight the
gathered thousands walked, wondering
and enthusiastic, on Pennsylvania av-
enue, through long reaches of fairy
land. With the small hours, the lights
faded and the citizens rested from
their months of labor. Grandly had

SEES THE YELLING
COWBOYS MARCH BY

TT was great success. Great
And did you notice that bunch of
cowboys? oh, they are the boys who
can ride! 1t all was superb. 1t really
touched me TO the heart"
Ihls was the comment made by
President Roosevelt as he was leaving
the reviewing stand for the white
house at the conclusion of the mag
innocent inaugural parade arranged in
his honor. AS the head of the process
sion reached the stand Vice President
Fairbanks rose and grasped President
Roosevelts hand in a hearty CLASH.
AS the head of the parade was passing
the stand a carriage dashed up to one
OF the entrances near the president's
box. Leaning far over the stand. the
president said sharply to the officers
on duty:
Stop that carriage. 1t matters not
IL 1t contains an ambassador"
The carriage was stopped and it's
occupants were not permitted to alight
at that point. During the greater part
OF the review the president kept up a
running fire of comment with Senator
Bacon on various features of the pa
rade, losing not an opportunity to di-
rect attention to the features which
were carrying into effect his own views
and opinions.

AS the president and Mrs Roosevelt
reached the grotto in the center of the

box saw their children. For the mo-
ment the chief executive and the first
lady OF the land seemed to forget all
else except their children. They waved

The inaugural gown of Mrs. Roose-

pale electric blue satin made with a
train and decollette with short puff
sleeves. 1t was delicately brocaded in
gold thread which outlined fiocks Of
doves, the blue and gold softly merg-

pale blue plume and carried a bou-
quet of orchids and lilies of the valley
Around the neck of her gown was rare
old point lace and she wore a mag
nificent necklace of diamonds.
Mrs. Fairbanks wore a gown of white
satin duchesse, the fabric being richly
embroidered at intervals with roses Of
gold in the natural size of the flower.

PARADE FROM CAPITOL
TO THE WHITE HOUSE

Accompanied by his escort and fol-
lowed by troops and civilian paraders
he started for the white house 1t was
the most perfect column that ever
marched in an inaugural parade,
though its numbers were less Gen.
Chaffee had insisted that brigade of
the national guard from each state
should be the maximum representation.
This obviated such imposing, but wear
isome and finally monotonous sight
when Pennsylvania 1900 finely
equipped state troops marched in the
Mckinley inaugural. Everywhere, as
the column~ passed, the skill of Gen.
Chaffee's supervision, aided by his chief
of staff, Gen. John A. Johnston, was
apparent to every practiced eye Moth
ing was left to chance. The regulars.
the national guard and the civic grand
division had their orders of formal ton
for each unit of the column and con-
formed to them.
Never has there been so perfect a
regular army column in any previous
national pageant. Cavalry, infantry,
artillery, engineers, marines, seamen
and the Annapolis and West Point ca
diets, thrilled all beholders with this
exponent of the perfection of our mill
itary arm.
The national guard of states and
those of the district showed the mark
ed Improvement which the practical
summer encamrments and maneuvers,
supervised by regular officers, have ac-
complished by the abolition of the for
mer military picnics.
While the whole military column was
a marvel and a delight, as indicated
by the continuing tornado of cheers
where it passed, there were elements
of special interest. The Ninth cavalry.
that splendid old colored regiment, the
heroes of many Indian battles and
known to fame at San Juan hill. re-
ceived the attention they so well mer-
tied. The crowds went wild over the
section of rough riders which partic-
ipated with the president in the Wild
ness of the rush and the joy of the vic
tory at Santiago. 1t is not strange
that there were a soldiers tear in a

lutes of his comrades in war.
The scouts from the Philippines and
the Porto Rico battalion excited intense
interest and they will never forget
their welcome. The brigade of cadet
battalions from many states organ
lied by Gen. Chaffee. attracted univer-
sal attention and received unbounded
applause.
