GALA DAY AT WASHINGTON.
President McKinley Ha* Commenced
HI* Second Term Witli the Grand
est of Ceremonie*— -Vice President
Hooaevelt A**ume* HI* Ofllee.
Washington, March 5.—William Mc
Kinley of Ohio Monday was inducted into
tile presidential office, being the eighth
the illustrious line of presidents of the
United States thus accorded by the Ameri
can people with a second and consécutive
term. Simultaneously Theodore Roosevelt
of New York became vice president of
the United States. The ceremony that
marked this second assumption by I'reai
dent Mcinley to the cares of state was
uiost impressive and full of suggestions
of the development of the republic during
the past four years.
At 3 o'clock a. m. a drizzling rain was
falling and at dawn the heavy clouds al
most obscured the sun. About then the
clouds began to break, and in the course
of an hour broad beams of sunlight swept
the avenue. On the whole, the weather
premised to redeem the pledge of the
weather bureau that the day would be
glorious one, the temperature being mill
and broad stretches of blue sky appeared
as the sun forced its way through the
clouds.
The weather took a change for the
worse before noon. The skies became
overcast and before 1 o'clock a light rain
was falling.
While the president was speaking the
rain almost entirely ceased, thoug thous
ands of umbrellas were still held aloft.
Great Purude,
Every presidential inauguration in re
cent years has had its parade, always liav
ing some distinctive features. That which
followed President McKinley Monday on
Ins return from the capitol to l he White
House and passed inreview then befor
him was different from all its pre'eeessors
in the majestic predominance of the mill
tarj* feature.
The civil contingent was up to the ave
rage in point of numbers, yet by actual
count made by the marshals the men in
soldierly uniforms outnumbered the civil
ians more than three to one. In the ser
ried ranks of blue were many soldiers who
had carried the country's flag far out
into the world and had waged a war whit
was all in the future when the last in
ugural procession marched along Pennsyi
vania avenue.
President'* Escort.
With the younger veterans in the
place of honor, as the president's escort;
marched another contingent made up en
tirely of soldiers of the civil war, all gray
haired and showing in gaunt and bent
forms marks of the passage of the years
and of the lingering effects of the great
battles and campaigns in the most stu
pendous struggle that the world has ever
seen, and it-was an easy prophecy to ob
serve that never again would they be ab'.e
to make as brave and numerous a showing
in their efforts to escort a president on the
occasion of his ascension to office.
Headed by Ituuuli Rider Band,
At their head, to quicken their steps
marched the Rough Rider band, sugges
tive of the extraordinary organization
which marked one of the most inspiring
chapters in the history of the volunteer
armies of the United States.
For the first time in a quarter of a cen
tury the president rode from the White
House to the capitol without a successor
beside him in his carriage. Grant was the
last of the presidents of the United States
up to this time to occupy a similar posi
tion.
The American navy, which has so dis
tinguished itself in the past four years,
as represented in the cefemonies more
numerously than ever before.
State Representation.
Tlie states of the Union rendered their
homage to the president.
The city surpassed itself in the quality
and quantity of its street decorations in
honor of the second inauguration of Presi
dent 'McKinley. No gala event in the city's
history has seen such fine and general dec
oration. Along the line of march from
the foot of the capitol to the point of dis
missal at the upper end of Pennsylvania
avenue there was scarcely a house front
that was not almost hidden from view by
red, white and blue bunting. The stands
that had been erected from which to
view the parade were more highly finished
than on any previous occasion.
Being the work of the inaugural com
mittee, they were uniform in character,
and their white fronts and yellow facing
acted as a foil to the brilliant display of
the national colors on the house fronts
around them. The whole route of the
parade was a gorgeously patriotic sign,
but it was at the court of honor, con
structed on Pennsylvania avenue, between
Fifth and Seventh streets, that the decora
tors fairly surpassed in pretty and effec
tive decoration anything ever before seen
here in street ornamentation on a large
scale. Here the scene rivaled that of an
Italian carnival display of the era of the
Medici. No other public thoroughfare in
the world of equal length lent itself more
to decoration than this, seretching from
the treasury to the war and navy depart
ment buildings.

wake up in the morning as tired as
when I went to bed.

too, both with pain and dizziness. If I
stooped over at any time I would be so
