Kind in Nations History.
Washington correspondence /:

William III. Taft of Ohio and James
S. Sherman of New York were inausu-
rated at noon Thursday as President
and Vice President of the United
States. The ceremony of the Inaugural
ton was accomplished with all due
formality and finality, but under most
unusual conditions, owing to a terrific
blizzard which swept over the national
capital, paralyzing street traffic. de
stvoying communication with the out
side world, and bringing dismay TO the
thousands of assembled visitors who
had gathered in expectation of the
usual spectacular demonstration. Not
withstanding the adverse conditions. all
Of the main features of the Inaugural
ton program went through. The main
change was in modifying the original
program so that the inaugural address,
usually delivered from the east porti-
co of the Capitol, was delivered by Mr..
Taft in the Senate chamber. The in
augural ceremony had been designed to
be n more imposing and costly function
than any OF its predecessors, but the
weather narred the magniticence of the
affair and bedraggled the expensive
decorations.
A wet, clinging snow, driven before
a stinging northwest wind. fell through
out the night and wrought havoc with
telephone and telegraph wires, CON-
pletely cutting off the capital city from
communication with the remainder of
the country for many hours. Snow
and slush flied the streets to the depth
of a root or more in places.
For several hours during the morning
Washington was out of communication
with the outside world because OF the
fury of the storm. Telegraph and tele-
phone wires were all useless.
Inaugural Ceremonies.
Important features Of the inaugural
program were the morning escort of
the President from the White House to
the Capitol; the exercises at the
Capitol concluding with the admins

went to the White House to continue
the chief figure in the long round of
ceremonies marking his induction into
Office and to begin four years of service
as the guiding spirit of the Union.
Not the least picturesque feature of
this gathering was the assemblage of
the entire complement of the foreign
diplomatic representatives to the Unit
ed States in all the pomp and panoply
of their rank. On the same platform
with the new President was his prede-
cessor, the incoming and retiring Vice
President and other representatives of
the different branches of government
of the United States.

ing the most brilliant function in each
administration at the national capital,
and historic Pennsylvania avenue was
ablaze with light In a manner BETTING
and significant of the advance since
the first Inauguration of a President at
Washington when Thomas Jefferson
was indicted into office with simple
ceremony. The ball took the form of
reception by President Taft and Vice
President Sherman to the country at
large. Each State in the Union was
officially represented on the floor by
one Of its distinguished sons, whose
mission it was to cooperate officially
in the presentation of visitors from
here, there and everywhere These gen.
tlemen knew many of the people who
came from their respective States. and
saw that they were properly introduced
to the statesmen and their wives and
other distinguished visitors. Thus it
was hoped TO bring the forty-six States
into close touch with the national cap
ital on this memorable occasion.
Recalls Second Cleveland inaugural.
Washington was visited by a SINH
lar storm at the second Inauguration
of Grover Cleveland, and though the
formal ceremonies were carried out,
many of those who participated in
them never recovered from the effects
OF the storm Scores of tile paraders
at that time, including many West
Point cadets, were stricken with pneu-
monia, and several fatalities were the
result. Following the Inauguration
ceremonies an agitation was begun to
have the next Inauguration held April
30 or in May, but Congress did not
take action.
