of the United 'States.
For thevfirst itime In a quarter of a
century the president rode froimi the

NATIONAL COLORS
EVERYWHERE
Washington surpassed itself in the
quantity and quality of street debora
tiion. Along the ling of march frami the
foot of ithe capitol to the point of dis
missal, at the upper end of Pennsyl
vania avenue, there rwals scarcely a
house front 'that was not almost hid
den from view by red, white and blue
bunting. The whole route of the parade
was a .gorgeously patriotic sight
But dit was the court of honor on
Pennsylvania avenue, Ibetween Fif
teenth and Seventeenth streets, that
the decoration surpassedin variety and
effectiveness any decoration ever 'before
seen here in street orwaimntation on a
large scale The 'scene rivalled that of
an -Italian carnival display in the era
of Medici .
From the treasury to the staife, war
and navy deportments bulilddngs for al
most a quarter of a imiile a (magnificent
stretch of asphalt rums straight as an
arrow due east and west. This big
roadway is paralleled by stone side
walks almost half a wide again, shad
ed magnificent trees whose planting"
antedates the. civil war. Oni the north
side of the court two train of alts
length is occupied by Lafayette sqare,
with its equestrian statue of Jackson
set as the central figure (of a amass of
shrubbery and towering (trees.
Wdthiri this generous setting the dec

The cousse of the parade, outside the
court of honor, was practically through
a solid iffine of red, white and blue. At
no previous inauguration has there
been su-ch a display of national colors
to the exclusion of every other.
'Soon after 9 the ibig .stands along the
line of march began to flflil up. Further
downtown, however, ttihe cross streets

formed a vantage .point for spectators

teamisters had evidently ibome in mind
the .possibilities contained in the side
streets for some time past, and, early
an the morning a score of wagons ap
peared. The prices of window seats in houses
and stares along (the line of march
reached an almost fabulous rate With

one wealthy senator paid $500 for a ein

could prbve an amipregn'atole ibarrier
against the crowds surging out on the
'avenue and spoiling the formation of

structed fence was In pdaoe all along

at the street (crossing, wfliich; were left
open until 1 o'clock, when access to the
avenue was denied.
Military, and civic organizations that
had (been delayed en route poured in
with increasing rapidity.. Trains ran
in sections (of-four to six with appar
ently small regard to Mock system or
any other conventional form of rail
road! schedule. The sound of bands
filled the air as trobps, company and
marching club, one after the other,
swung into Pennsylvania avenue at
quickstep, hunryiing to the quarter in
hope of a hasty breakfast before set

NAUGURATION BALL
A BRILLIANT AFFAIR
Profuse Decorations, Elegant Attire of Officers and Diploma
tie Corps and Ladies in Exquisite Costumes Make
an Attractive Scene.
Washington, March 4.-A fitting cli
max to the brilliant ceremonies of the
inauguration of McKdnley and Roose
velt .was the inauguration ball in the
pension building tonight. The affair
was brilliant in the extreme andl yet as
dem'oieratiic as one could wish, as any
one having five dollars to purchase a
ticket, 'was entitled to admission, pro
vided he was sober.
The decorations and illuminations
were profuse. Hundreds of yards of
bunting and; flags and thousands of pots
of flowers and myriads of electric lights,
together 'with the gaily bedecked throng
contributed' tb make the scene a verit
able if airy one.
Elegant officers, both naval and mili
tary, and1 the .gorgeous attire of some
of the diplomatic corps, together with
the exquisite toilets of the ladies, added
additional attractiveness to the scene.
Women ipredominated, for many of the
males escorted Itwo or three of the fair

tral hall of the building, where the
dancinig took place, was so congested as
to make promeBadiing extremely diffi

Expressed His Pride at the Honor of Presiding Over the
Americsn Senate at the Outset of the Twentieth
Century,
Washington, March 4. Standing on
the spot hallowed' by history and in the
presence of a brilliant and distinguished
assemblage Colonel Roosevele of New
York was today inducted into office as
vice president. The oath was admin
istered by Senator Frye of (Maine, pres
ident pro tern of the senate.
Tine ceremony was thoroughly demo
cratic, yet an its very simpuci'ty pro
foundly impressive. The president of
the United States was there, senators
and representatives, members of the su
preme court, the governors of many
states, members of the diplomatic corps,
army andl mavy officers and men dis
tinguished in all (walks of life were
passive participants in ithe ceremony.
The galleries presented a spectacle of
imiarveWous beauty, hundreds of bril
liantly attired women lending color to
the almost somber surroundings.
As the new vice president dropped the
hand of Senator Frye he glanced upward
at his wife, seated in the executive gal
lery. She .was the first of whom he
thought in this momentous hour, and
to her he looked for inspiration.
(An instant later the vigorous Ameri
can and irnan of letters faced the United
States senate for the first 'time as its
presiding lofflcer. His first duty was.
the admdnistering of the oath to the
newly elected senators.
iMr. Roosevelt in his inaugural speech
said :
The history of free government is in
large part the history of those repres
entative legislative bodies, in wbicti,
from the earliest times', free govern
ment has found its loftiest expression.
They must ever holi a peculiar and ex
alted position in the raoord which tells
how the great na"rony of the -world
would have endeavored to achieve and
preserve' orderly freedom. Pso man
can render to his fellows greater sorviec
thar. ia rendered bv him, who with
fearlessness and honesty, with sanely
and dis'nterestedness, does his life,
worlt as a member of such a body. Es
pecially is this the close when the legis
lature in which the service rendered is.

chinery of one of (those world pdwers to
for applause, which was unstintingly
given. The presidential party was es
corted to the rooms on the gallery floor,
where the president held a. reception
to the comtmittee of diplomats .
The -party 'descended to the floor at
10:15, and (led the grand march. The
spectators cheered as the president and
wife, followed by Roosevelt and wife,
made a round of the ballroom floor,
while ladies waved handkerchiefs. It
was a starring scene.
The president's party subsequently
ascended to the president's balcony on
the west side of the hall. It (was so
situated .'that everybody on nhe floor
could plaimly see the president, vice
president and ladies of the party. Mrs.
MoKinley wore a gown of white satin
trimmed' with rhinestones and pearls
arranged in designs of 'grapes and clus
ters of leaves. The court train was fin
ished rwitii a flounce of rose point lace.
Her jewels were diamond 'brooches and
exquisitely studded sidecombs. Mrs.
Roosevelt wore white silk and Duchess
lace with a long train trimmed' with
deep flounces of lace. Her jewels were
diamonds. Dancing began as soon as
the presidential party left and continued
