Inaugural ball, opened by Presi

Theodore Roosevelt was on Msreh
transformed from president by
chance into president by choice; from
president through an assasin'e bullet
into president through the ballots of
the people.
Under the shadow of the gray-
domed capitol, gazing Into the placid
marble features of Oreenough's statue
of the first president, the twenty-sixth
president of the United State a wore
faithfully to execute the laws and to
preserve, protect, and defend th con
stitution. There were represented In the
throngs that had journeyed to the cap-
Hal to greet President Roosevelt men
from the North, South. East and West,
and from distant Islands of the seas;
from the Philippines, from Porto
Rico, from Hawaii from every land
where floats the emblem of the Re
public. In the great parade there rode
governors of states, both North and
South. The president's old rancher
friends, with lariat and chaparejos and
wiry bronchos, made strange contrast
to the stiff-backed, pouter chested
young men from the national military
schools. Rough Riders from San Juan
Hill, volunteers from Santiago, Jackles
from Manila bay shared the plaudits
of the multitude with modest, every
day soldiers, for whom the title Reg
ular Is distinction quite enough.
Political clubs from East and West,
militiamen from ' North and South,
blue-clad veterans of the sixties,
heroes of the Spanish-American war,
miner from Pennsylvania, the entire
legislature of the state of Tennessee,
the president's neighbor from Oyster
Bay all contributed to the national
character of the splendid pageant
There were waiting fur the presi
dent when he emerged from the white
house thirty picked men from the
Rough Riders under Gov. Brodle. With
the crack squadron A of the First
Cavalry. U. 8. Army, they formed his
escort to the capitol. As they swung
aiound the treasury building Into
Pennsylvania avenue a division of the
G. A. R. with Gen. O. O. Howard and
staff in the lead, which bad been
standing at salute, wheeled Into the
column, while the raralrymen checked
'their pace to accommodate the slower
footsteps of the aged veterans. A
mighty wave of cheers swept along
the avenue as the president's carriage
came In sight. Throughout the whole
route the president, with hat In hand,
kept bowing In acknowledgment of the
greeting. On his arrival at the capi
tol he was conducted to th president's
room, in the rear cf the senate cham
ber, where he Itesaa at once the sign
ing of belated bills. At noon he en
tered the abode of the senate to wit
ness th lnsttllstton of Senator Fair
bank as vice president. This cere
mony concluded, he proceeded to the
etaed on the east front of the capitol
to receive the oath from Chief Justice
Fuller and to deliver bis Inaugural ad
dress. Immediately upon Ita conclu
sion the prestdent was escorted back
to th white house, where, after lunch
ing with the official of the Inaugural
committee, he took hi position on the
stand In front to review the formal

dean of the diplomatic corps, mar
shaled forth the ambassadors and
.ministers of foreign countries.
Mrs. Roosevelt and Mrs. Fairbanks
were next escorted to seats Just out

Mr. Fairbanks' two sons, students at
Yale, and his daughter. Mrs. Adelaide
Tlmmons, were with Mrs. Fairbanks.

repeatedly before taking his chair.
Secretary Ha and other member
of the cabinet were ushered to their
chairs, and at their heels came Ad
miral Dewey and Lieut. Gen. Chaff-.
Billow of cheers greeted Admiral
Dewey, and the hero of Manila bay
showed that he waa pleased.
The governors of state and terri
tories and the other invited guests
followed in Indiscriminate fashion, and
In a short time all waa In readiness
for the coming of Uie chief executive.
President Roosevelt advanced from
the door of the capitol. arm In arm
with Chief Justice Fuller. Instantly,
from all parta of lb eight acre of
humanity, arose a prolonged, tumultu

hi white h sired companion came

Chief Justice Fuller, hi snowy lock

Constitution : "I do solemnly swear
