President Roosevelt's Inauguration

JHK residents of tlie District of Columbia pect Hint about 200.000 people will Journey to Washington to taka part is • Inaugura tlon of President lioosevelt : on Katimlay, March 4. or wit•a that function and R]>ectacies to be seep in connecI tlon with I They are doing ! all that they cun to make the inauguration of Mr. Roosevelt dlgI nlfied. Impreas- . w Ire and in every way dctable. Seven thousand railway coaches will convey the visitors to the national capital. The parade which the president will revlev. after taking the oath of office and returning to the White House, will be' the most showy and picturesque of a fay procession that ever wended Its way by tbe threshold of the executive mansion. Tbe Inaugural ball will be especially brilliant, aa a splendid scheme of decoration add lighting baa been planned for tbe great court of tbe pension bonding, where the •flair will take place. On inauguration day tbe people of Washington invite the people of the country at large to be their guekts. Of course they do not offer them free board and lodging during tbe period of their stay—It would scarcely be remeooable to expect that But they get up an Interesting display of soldiers, marines, diplomats in gorgeous uniforms, generals and colonels In a plethora of gold lace, fireworks, beautiful women in their best bell gowns and. In tbe coming instance at least wild Indiana and cowboys from tbe. reservations and ranches of the west To carry out this elaborate programme costs from 960.000 to 9100,000. and to defray the expense tbe residents of the District raise a guarantee fund. ▲ large sum,is rasMsed from tickets of admtaatowCto the InsoguraY ball and supper.

tbs rapItoL On arrival there be goes to tbe east front, where tbe oetfa of office is administered by tbe chief Justice of the supreme court. Melville W. Fuller, wear lug bis silken robe. Here he dell vers bis Inaugural address. After this be enters his carriage and retnrna to tbe ex* •“entire mansion, followed by tbe organisations participating In the parade After a abort period of repose be takes bis position In tbe reviewing stand at the White House and greets the thou sands of admiring fellow cltlxen* of the various marching organisations Who peas before him On tbe conclusion of tbla rather arduous task be lakes a period of rest and In the evening makes his final appearance for tbe day at tbe pension building, where be opens tbe Inaugural ball. Such la tbe programme which custom has prescribed for the president ou tbe dsy be assumes bis high office. From tbe time when be rises to begin tbe eventful day to tbe time when be appears at tbe Inaugural bail with bis accomplished wife, the first lady of the land, the constant nervous strain will prove wearing even to one whose athletic habits render him more capable of enduring fatigue than most of bis predecessors. Tbe dosing scene of tbe day will be one calculated to dasxle those u ns ecus turned to social events on a scale of

it and former marshal of Daodwood. They will grace tbe pro cession In compliment to Prssident Roosevelt, who was once a cowboy him self. Bullock used to be the terror of the bad men In the days when Dead wood section abounded ih them. He has visited tbe president several times and talked over tbe days when Mr. Roosevelt was a ranchman and Bullock was rounding up cattle rustlers- It was this-same Beth who went to a musicsle at tbe Wblte House day at tbe president's request, gased absently out of tbe windows for a time while somebody played a sonata on the piano. It was Just a bit daaalc for cowboy earn. Presently Mr. Roosevelt happened along. “How do yju like tbe music, BethT" be Inquired. Tbe captain shifted bis quid. *IVi a little too far up tbe gulch for I kt Mr. President” be replied.

while grand stand and souvenir conceusiona form another source of revenue. ^-•The various functions connected with Installing the president In office are the- . outgrowth of custom, and tbe govern moot in Its official capacity makes no provision for them. Tbe most that congress docs la to appropriate 910.000 for the maintenance of good order and glve tbe nsc of tbe pension office for tbe Inaugural ball. Tbe central feature of tbe day's ceremonies, tbe taking of tbe oath of office and dull very of tbe inangural address, remains a

simple affair, but tbe

such magnificence- When tbe president and Mrs. Roosevelt proceed to tbe platform erected for them in tbe great court of tbe pension building and tbe signal Is given for tbe gayety to begin they will look out upon a ass of faces, an array of reap lender t uniforms and Elaborate toilets and an assemblage of distinguished personages. Tbe lighting of this great scene will be accomplished by means of electric lamps biasing from almost every foot of 4>ace ou tbe walls and ceiling* in edors of crimson, green and gold. Floral and Bag decorations will be elaborate. Formerly it was tbe custom for tbe president and his wife and tbe vice president and bis wife to make tbe drde of tbe court in opening tbe bail, but this practice led to such a crush that it will be dlscontinned at tbe next ball and tbe presidential party will simply be escorted to their places on tbe platform. .

Tickets of admission to tbe boll “will be 95 rack. Carriages for tbe evening will be not lees than flO each. Twenty will represent the minimum expense to a man who takes bis wife to tbe ball.
