Then he had ridden many lonely miles over storm-swepi mountain roads to reach the tragic scene of his elevation; now he was escorted along the nation's grandest f avenue from the White House to the home of Congress between two densely ^packed lines of his countrymen gathered from every quarter to cheer him and wish him godspeed in the coming four years. Then he had said, with chocking voice; "It shall be my aim to continue absolutely unbroken the policies of President *McKinley for the peace, prosperity and honor cf our be B B lcved country." Sateurday fce left it Htor his fellow-citizens, who > \d honjRored him with a greater majouty than ^Bever before given, to judge whether or redeemed that pledge. ^B^^Hrolonel of the Rough Riders has of his crowded hour in Cuba, showed his former comrades ^^^Vowded hour in Washington.

A mighty wave of cheers swept along ^vthe avenue gg the President's carriage ^kame in sight. Throughout the whole ^^bute the President, with hat in hand, lAept bowing in acknowledgment of the jF* greetings. On his arrival at the capi tol he was conducted to the President's r room, in the rear of the Senate chamber, where he began at once the signI ing of belated bills. At noon he enI tered the abode of the Senate to witI ness the installation of Senator FairR^banks as Vice President. This cere mcny concluded, he proceeded to the stand on the east front of the capitol B to receive the oath from Chief Justice B Fuller and to deliver his inaugural adB dress. Immediately upon its concluK sion the President was escorted back to the White House, where after A. lunching with the officials of the inau Br gural committee, he took his position k on the stand in front to review the B fomaHnaugural parade.

The guaranty fund subscribed by Washington merchants and business men will thus be returned. Everything but the actual ceremoies were in charge of the inaugural committee, composed of Washington residents, and headed by Brigadier General John M. Wilson, U. S. A., retired, appointed for that purpose by Chairman Cortelyou, of the Republican national committee. The broad plaza whose level surface stretches east from the national capitol can accommodate an army. For hours Saturday morning Washington poured its own population and a vast increment of visitors into the front yard of the seat of government. From the porticos and windows of the eapitol building a good idea of the scope of the multitude could be gathered. Eight acres of humanity spread fan*shaped from the focus made by a little covered shelter, open at the sides, where the President was to stand. Over toward the imposing facade of the Congressional Library it extended, literally a "sea of faces." There may have been only 50,000; probably there were nearer 100,000 in sight of the President B'hpn hp tnolr the oath. Stands on the central portico, ex! tending to the tribune wj^rein the ceremony occurred, covered an acre. From the central entrance of the capltol to the seats of honor surrounding the pagoda-like tribune was laid a carpet of crimson plush. Long before the ceremonies in the Senate, where Vice President Fairbanks was taking his oath of cfSLce, was concluded, most of the reserved seats had been filled by ticket holders. All in all it was the grandest pageant ever witnessed on American soil. The ceremonies were simple but soiema and impressive. The order was excellent, the weather was fine and the exercises were dispatched without a hitch. At a sign from Chief Justice Fuller, the clerk of the Supreme Court stepped forward, holding a Bible. A hush fell over the crowd. The President raised his hand, and the oath to support the laws and constitution of the United States was revently taken amid deep silence. When this had been concluded, there was practically no demonstration, and the President began his inaugural address. As soon as he finished speaking, he re-entered the capitol, and as he disappeared within ?? *---??-"?

Senator Fairbanks took the oath as Vice President and made his address as follows: VICE PRESIDENTS ADDRESS. Senators: I enter upon the discharge of the duties of the position to which I have been called by my countrymen with grateful appreciation of the high 'honor and with a deep sense of its teeponsibilities. I have enjoyed the privilege of serving with you here for eight years. During that period we have been engaged in the consideration of many domestic questions of vast importance and with foreign problems of unusual and farreaching significance. We submit what we have done to the Impartial judgment of history. I can never forget the pleasant relations which have been formed during my service upon the floor of the Senj ate. I shall cherish them always : among the most delightful memories i of my life. They warrant the belief | that L shall have in the discharge of i the functions which devolve upon me under the constitution the generous assistance and kindly forbearance of both sides of the chamber. We witness the majestic spectacle of ; a peaceful and orderly beginning of | an administration of national affairs under the laws of a free and self-governing people. We pray that divine favor may attend it and that peace and jprogress, justice and honor mav abide with our country and our countrymen. Wealthy Former Coal Operator Dead. Pittsburg, Special.?William Dunshee, a former well known coal bperi ator, and one of the wealthiest residents of McKeesport, died this evening at the family residence In that place, aged 85 years.

Special.?Charles Upton. ' the young son of Dr. William H. Up ton. who was drugged and whose safe was rifled of $400 on February 5th, was brought back to this city from ' New Orleans and was locked up in I police headquarters. The charge ! against young Upton is grand larceny, his father being the complainant. The s boy, when arrested in New Orleans, - waived extradition and returned to r New York willingly with the detectives. , % A spiici i President Roostvelt's Remarks Were Brief, Timely and Appropriate. The inaugural address is as follows: My Fellow-Citizens: Xo people on earth have more cause | to be thankful than ours, and this is said reverently, in no spirit of boasti fulness in our own strength, but with gratitude to the Giver of Good who has blessed us with the conditions which have enabled us to achieve so large a measure of well-being and of happiness. To us as a people it has been granted to lay the foundations of our national life : in a new continent. We are the heirs of the ages, and yet we have had to pay , few of the penalties which in old countries are exacted by the dead hand of a bygone civilization. We have not been j obliged to fight for our existence 1 against any alien race; and yet our life has railed for the vieor and effort with out which the manlier and hardier virtues wither away. Under such conditions it would be our own fault if we failed; and the success which we have 1 had in the past, the success which we confidently believe the future will bring, should cause in us no feeling of 1 vain-glory, but rather a deep and biding realization of all which life has offered us; a full acknowledgement of ; the^esponsibility which is ours; and a | fixed determination to show that under i a free government a mighty people can j thrive best, alike as regards the things ! of the body and the things of the 6oul. MUST B7 FRIENDLY. Much has been given to us. and much , will rightfully be expected from us. We i ; have duties to others and duties to ourselves; and we can shirk neither. We have become a great nation, forced by j the fact of its greatness into relations with the other nations of the earth; and we must behave as beseems a people with such responsibilities. Toward all other nations, large and small, our attitude must be one of cordial and sin| cere friendship. We must show not only in our words, but in our deeds that we I are earnestly desirous of securing their I good, will by acting toward them in a i spirit of just and generous recognition of all their rights. But justice and generosity in a nation, as in an individual, count most when shown not by the 1 * TIT V? nn AtTOP ! foundations; and, therefore, our responsibility is heavy, to ourselves, to I the world as it is today, and to the generations yet unborn. There is no ' good reason why we should fear the future, but there is every reason why we should face it seriously, neither hiding from ourselves the gravity of the problem* before us nor fearing to approach 1 these problems with the unbending, uni flinching purpose to solve them aright. Yet, after all. though the problems are new. though the tasks set T>efore us differ from the tasks set before our fathers who founded and preserved this republic, the spirit in which these tasks i mpst be undertaken and these problems faced if our duty is to be well done, rej mains essentially unchanged. We know ' that self-government is difficult. We I know that no people need such high i traits of character as that people which 1 seeks to govern its affairs aright through the freely expressed will of the freemen who compose it. But we have faith that we shall not prove false to the memories of the men of the mighty | past. They did their work, they left ns ! the splendid heritage we now enjoy. ; We, in our turn, have an assured coni fldence that we shall be able to leave ! this heritage unwasted and enlarged to our children and our children's children. To do so we must show, not I merely in great crises, but in the everyday affairs of life, the qualities of pracI tical intelligence, of courage, of hardI ihood and endurance, and, above all. j the power of devotion to a lony laeai, ! which made great the men who founded ; this republic in the days of Washing; ton, which made great the men who preserved this republic in the days of Abraham Lincoln.

A movement is on foot to have all hangings in Virginia take place In the penitentiary. Two Richmond negroes, who are condemned to be hanged, were baptized in a bath tub in the jail. Body Identified. Chicago, Special.?The body of the woman found dead last Friday in Lake Michigan, at the foot of Fifty-ninth street, was identified as that of Mrs. Eva Belmont, whose home is said to have been in Milwaukee. The clew to the woman's identity was furnished by John McCarthy, of Chicago, who asserted that he had known Mrs. Belmont for some time, and positively identified the body as that of the Milwaukee woman. Mystery still surround the death of the woman, but the police are of the opinion that they have a murder problem to solve. , j W0UK, DUI oy U1C Siruug. nu?u v?v? | careful to refrain from wrongdoing others, we must be no less insistent that we are not wronged ourselves. We wish peace; but we wish the peace of justice, the peace of righteousness. We wish it because we think it is right and not because we are afraid. No weak nation that acts manfully and justly should ever have cause to fear us, and j no strong power should ever be able | to single us out as a subject for Insolent aggression. OUR RELATIONS AMONG OURSELVES. Our relations with the other powers of the world are important; but still more important are our relations among ourselves. Such growth in ! wealthh. in population and in power as tnis nation nas se?n uuims iuc ?u- , tury and a quarter of its national lffe is inevitably accompanied by a like ; growth in the problems which are ever before every nation that rises to greatness. Power invariably means both responsibility and danger. Our forefathers faced certain perils which we have outgrown. We now face other perils the very existence of which it was inpossible that they should foresee. Modern life is both complex and in; tense, and the tremendous changes wrought by the extraordinary indus! trial development of the last half cen! tury are felt In every fiber of our social I and political being. Never before have I men tried so vast and formidable an ' experiment as that of administering ! the affairs of a continent under the forms of a democratic republic. The ! conditions which have told for our marvelous material well-being, which ! have developed to a very high degree our energy, self-reliance and individual initiative, have also brought the care and anxiety inseparable from the acI cumulation of great wealth in indus1 trial centers. Upon the success of our experiment much depends, not only as ! regards our own welfare, but as rei gards the welfare of mankind. If we ; fail, the cause of free self-government throughout the world will rock to its LIFE l^ctrOTPRESIDENT Sketch of the Life of the Man Inaugurated Saturday. The Congressional Directory.

The Columbia correspondent of the Charlotte Observer writes his paper is follows: Just before the meeting of the Legislature, when there was an apparently strong sentiment throughout the State in favor of radical changes in the dispensary law, and when it was ihougnt likely the Legislature would make important changes and grant concessions in these changes to the prohibitionists and anti-dispensary ceople, the State board of directors, ay a vote of two to one, decided to grant prohibition to the little town of Elleree, in Orangeburg, which had by petition been urging the board to remove its dispensary since last summer, and passed a resolution closing the dispensary there the first of January. Chairman Hub Evans, who voted against allowing the community prohibition, had the matter taken up to the Supreme Court on the petition of Dispenser Weeks, against whom there was complaint as to the manner in which he had been conducting the Elleree dispensary. The people of Elleree frankly acknowledged that there was no fault to find with Dispenser Weeks; they merely wanted prohibition, which their county board had refused to grant. The Legislature had come and gone without making any change in the dispensary law, and the Supreme Court permanently enjoined1 the State board from carrying into effect its resolution closing the Elleree dispensary on the ground that both the spirit and the substance of the dispensary law forbids the State board closing any dispensary once opened, and thus fully sustains Chairman Evans, who contended that the State board had ?ro jurisdiction in such a matter and that dispensaries may be closed only under the Brice act, which requires the entire county to act in an election, the counties voting out its dispensaries levying half a mill to enforce prohibition and forfeiting its share in the dispensary school fund, which act the Legislature just adjourned resolutely refused to amend. A movement has started in Oconee to vote out the dispensaries, and it is not unlikely that this county will follow the example of Cherokee, which voted out its dispensaries under the Brice act. The church people are behind the movement in Oconee and tney are moving wun energy ana great enthusiasm and zeal. Carolinians Much Gratified. The people of South Carolina are very much elated to know that one of the great battleships now being built will be given Ae name of the proud State which for years led in the councils of the nation and may yet be one of the influential States of the union? rshe is rapidly becoming even now. "I thank you for your telegram. It was a great pleasure to be able to name one of the battleships 'South Carolina.' "Theodore Roosevelt.'" Later in the day the governor received notice from Washinghton that the other battleship to be built would be named "The Michigan." He then sent the following telegram to Gov. Warner of that State: "Accept my congratulations on 'The Michigan.' Permit me to say that 'The Michigan' and 'The South Carolina' are in fine company for a glorious career." , Congressman J. E. Ellerhe, expressed his personal gratification at the action of President Roosevelt and he ventured the prediction that at the end of his career President Roosevelt will be more popular in the south than any other president has been in 40 years. Gov. Heyward received the following telegram from Gov. Fred M. Warner of Lansing, Mich.: "Thanks for congratulations. The South Carolina and Michigan will honor the navy and our country."
