Theodore Roosevelt, of New York, and Charles Warren Fairbanks, of Indiana, to day were inaugurated respc2i5 President and Vice President of the United States. A few months ago theirs were names to conjure with in one of the most noteworthy campaigns in the history cf American politics. They were elected with the greatest popular acclaim ever accorded candidates by the electorate of this republic. To day, their names are again on every lip the verdict of the American people rendered on November 8, was confirmed in the presence of such a throng as the National Capital rarely has witnessed and with a setting of brilliant pageantry. When the President Took Oath of Office Washington, D.

March 4. Pres ldent Roosevelt to day took the oath of office before a vast gathering of the people he has been elected to serve. Chief Justice Puller, in administering the oath, repeated a solemn he has performed four times to day his last. The cere mony took place at the east front of the Capitol. The great crowd assembled for the crowning event of a day full of features, cannot be estimated even by comparison.

It extended far beyond the reach of the voice and was so densely packed as to carry the stage out. of sight of many. The Capitol plaza, resourceful in accommodating the thousands eager to view the ceremony, was completely filled. People came by its numerous streets and avenues, which, like so many yawning, ravenous maws, greedily swallowed the throng until every coign of vantage was occupied. The trees, barren of foliage, carried their human bur on limbs capable of bearing the weight of man or boy, and so far away as the terraces and marble steps of the Library of Congress thousands stood.

Representative Americans. Although the ceremony differed little from those that have preceded 1 It, in the great sea of spectators prob 1 ably there was a larger number of representative Americans than any inauguration has brought to Wash ington. The Eastern States were rivalled in point of attendance by rea Bon of President Roosevelt's great popularity in the middle and far West. Delegations were present from every one of the insular possessions. Many of them had never seen the Capitol, and, to a large number, the inauguration of a President was wholly strange.

Stand at the Capitol. As rapidly as the troops arrived they took the position assigned them. The military escort stretched far to ithe left and consisted of all branches jot the service, horse, foot and. artillery. To the right were grouped division after division of State troops end in different places of honor the organizations took their stand await the signal to move.

A monster stand in the form of an jopen amphitheatre had been erected on a line with the rotunda of the iCapitol. The stand itself was of symmetrical architectural proportions, on a different plan from those used in former years. For this occasion it had been built in the form 'of a semi circle inclining to a level 'platform on which was placed a pa Dillon for the President's personal (use. The amphitheatre accommodated jnearly 7,000 persons. iThe Human Garden.

1 Some time before the beginning of the inaugural ceremony several thousand persons holding tickets entitling them to seats on the stand began to take their places. By 12 o'clock, the human garden, which had flourished in the Senate and House galleries, was transplanted to the open air amphitheatre. The brilliant costumes of the women gave to the scene the finishing touch of color. Added to ttie acre of people seated, who looked lown upon ten acres standing, were hundreds bankede upon every pro jecting ledge of the Capitol and filling the windows. At about one o'clock the official party came through the main door.

iCheers were sent up from the tnt.hu (Biastic multitude, ail eyes were di rected tnat way ana strained to get the first glimpse of the President. Dramatic Entrance. The official entrance was dramatic. resident Deal for body" All except those who were participating in the ceremony were seated. When the Justices of the Supreme Court, with the exception og Chief Justice Fulller, emerged from between the Corinthian pillars and marched down the sloping carpeted aisle to their station were greeted with wild applause.

The justices wore their robes and skull caps, then came the members of the diplomatic corps in their gorgeous uniforms, and they evoked thunderous applause. Led by Count Cassini, the Russian ambassador and dean of the corps, and followed by the others in order of precedence, they took seats on the right of the stand. Strolling in after them came members of the cabinets, Senators and Representatives in Congress. Throughout this scene the demean or of the multitude was that of interested expectancy. The enticing prospect of seeing gorgeous and stately pageants in review detracted in no manner from the keen interest in the less brilliant program in immediate prospect.

The attraction responsible for the assembly of so vast a throng was demonstrated by the tremendous burst of applause which heralded the President's approach. The Alan of the Hour. Taking as a signal the arrival of Mrs. Roosevelt and a party of friends, and a moment later of Vice President Fairbanks and his escort, the applause subsided to await the coming of the man of the hour. Suddenly the crowd on the stand began to cheer.

This was taken up by those immediately in front of the platform. The military presented arms, the committees uncovered, and soon the great sea of people was waving hats and flags and shouting itself hoarse. President Roosevelt came forth between the massive pillars quietly and composedly. He was escorted by Chief Justice Fuller. With measured tread in harmony with the dignified step of the Chief Justice, the President advanced in state down the long aisle of distinguished guests.

By this tim eall were standing and nothing could be heard above the roar of thunderous welcome. Immediately following came, arm in arm, the members of the committee on arrangements. As the President passed down the aisle he bared his head and with characteristic sweep of his hat bowed in acknoweldgment of the salutations from the stand and the ovation from the people. His manner was not that of a man incurring onerous responsibilities, three years in the White House having familiarized him with trie duties of the high office to which he was to be inaugurated. Takes Oath of Office.

While he waited for the applause to die out he stood with no show of vanity, with no evidences of political enmity, apparently no memories of the campaign gone by, and nothing more disconcerting han a huge gathering of loyal Americans. At a sign from Chief Justice Ful ler the clerk of the Supreme Court stepped forward, holding a Bible. A hush fell over the crowd. The Pres ident raised his right hand and the oath to support the laws and Consti tution of the United States was reverently taken amid deep silence When this had been concluded there was practically no demonstration and the President began his inaugu ral address. As soon, as ho finished speaking he re entered the Capitol and as he disappeared within the building a signal was flashed to the navy yard and the roar of twenty one guns was begun in official salute to the President.

In his inaugural address President Roosevelt said: "My Fellow Citizens: No people on earth have more cause to be thankful than ours, and this is said reverently, in no spirit of boastful ness 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 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 obliged to fight for our existence against any alien race; and yet our life has called for the vigor and effort without 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 had in the past, the success which we confidently believe the future will bring, should cause in us no feeling of vainglory, but rather. a deep and abiding realization of all which life has offered us; a lull acknowledgment of the responsibility which is ours; and a fixed determination to show that under a free government a mighty people can thrive best, alike as regards the things of the body and the things of the soul. The National Duties.

"Much has been given to us and much will rightfully be expected from us. We have duties to others and duties to ourselves; and we can shrink neither. We have become a great nation, forced by 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 sincere We must show not only in our words, but in our deeds that we are earnestly desirous of securing their good will by acting toward them in 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 weak but by the strong.

While ever careful to refrain from wronging others, we must be no less insistent that we are not wronged ourselves. Foreign and Domestic Relations. "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 no strong power should ever be able to single us out as a subject for insolent aggression.

"Our relations with the other Powers of the world are important; but still more important are our relations among ourselves. Such growth in wealth, in population and in power as this nation has seen during the century and a quarter of 'its national life 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 impossible that they could foresee.

A Heavy Responsibility. "Modern life is both complex and intense and the tremendous changes wrought by the extraordinary industrial development of the last half century, are felt in every fibre of our social political being. Never before have men tried so vast and formidable 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 accumulation of great wealth and industrial centers. "Upon the success of our experiment much depends; not only as regards our own welfare, but as regards the welfare of mankind.

If we fail, the cause of free self government throughout the world will rock to its foundations; and, therefore, our responsibility is heavy to ourselves, to the world as it is to day, 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 problems before us nor fearing to approach these problems with the unbending, unflinching purpose to solve them aright. Devotion to Lofty Ideal. "Yet, after all, though the problems are new, though the tasks set before us differ from the tasks set before our fathers, the spirit in which these tasks must be undertaken and these problems faced, if our duty is to be well done, remains essentially unchanged. We know that self government is difficult.

We know that no people needs such high traits of character as that' people which 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 us the splendid heritage we now enjoy. "We in our turn have an assured confidence 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 merely in great crisis, but in the every day affairs of life, the qualities of practical intelligence, of courage, of hardihood and endurance, and above all the power of devotion to a lofty ideal, which made great the men who founded this republic in the days of Washington, which made great the men who preserved this great republic in the days of Abraham Lincoln," LAD RESCUED FH LIFE SFjLffl! Ten Years' Old Israel Katz Lost Nine Months in Europe FELL INTO HANDS OF HARD TASKMASTER WHO STARVED HIM Saved by Karrisburg People Assisted by Governor and the U.

S. Government After wandering nine months over half of Europe, during which he encountered almost unendurable hardships, Israel Katz, a ten year old Russian Hebrew, arrived in this city and is having all of the attention of the dead come to life again lavished upon him by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Abraham Katz, of this city. The happy reunion was due the instrumentality of Louis Ohrasky, a tailor; Abraham Meyers and C.

Vernon Ret tew, who enlisted the sympathies and influence of Governor Pennypacker in behalf of the lad. The Governor took up the matter with the Government and the lad was located and liberated from a hard taskmaster, into whose hands he had fallen, after a half dozen Consuls had traced him from Bremen, Germany, to Budapest, to Vienna and thence to Lemberg, Galica. Nine months ago Louis Obrasky be came sponsor for young Katz and his parents in Russia, who were anxious to come to thiscountry.and purchased tickets for all three from Mr. Ret tew, of this city. As the three were about to sail from Bremen, Germany, the lad became afflicted with a disease of the eyes.

The Government of ficials told the parents to go on their way while they cured the lad and prepared him to follow them. This they did, but the ten year old boy was turned adrift and during his wanderings covered one half of the continent until he finally brought up at Lemberg, where he fell into the hands of one Samuel David Einchlag, a tailor, who took the boy into his employ. Here young Katz was found by the American Consul, half starved, scarcely clothed and suffering terribly from overwork. Einchlag found the boy a profitable investment ana refused to give him up. The Consul was obdurate, however, and Einchlag was hailed into court and made to liberate the lad.

As soon as the boy's parents reach ed this country they set about to find how soon their son would be sent to them and it was when they found that he had gone astray that the Harrisburg people petitioned the Governor, who caused the Govern ment to take steps which led to his liberation. Obrasky forwarded money for the lad's transportation to this country and almost cried with delight when Israel rushed into his parents' arms at the Union Station in this city yes terday.

LOSES MIND AFTER TRIP WITH MANIAC Constable Conveyed Mad Missionary 3,000 Miles by Dog Team.

Winnipeg, March' 4. Having traversed more than three thousand miles of snowy solitudes, from Fort Chippewayan, Athabasca, to Edmonton, with a mad missionary strapped to a dog sled, Constable Paine, of the royal mounted police, has succumbed to the terrible tedium and anxieties of the trip, and is himself a raving maniac. Paine made the trip unaccompanied by any human being save the insane missionary. For weeks he heard no sound but the barking of the dogs and the raving of the madman bound to the sledge. No sooner had he turned his charge over to the authorities at Edmonton than he began to shriek and to repeat the jabbering of the missionary.

He now occupies a cell adjoining that of the other maniac. Physicians say Paine will never recover his reason. Will Not Wear Gowns. The school directors will not wear caps and gowns at high school commencement. This was decided last night.

New York, March 4. Nan Patter son, the show girl, who has once been tried on the charge of murdering Caesar Young, must be given another trial by May 1, or be released on bail. A decision to that effect was given by Justice Gaynor, of the New York State Supreme Court, in Brooklyn, on an application of Miss Patterson's counsel for a writ of habeas corpus and review of her case on the ground that she had been denied her constitutional rights to a prompt trial. The justice said: "The woman is of course entitled to a speedy trial. She has been tried, the jury disagreeing, six to six.

It seems to be doubtful if the District Attorney moves her trial again.

General Kuroki, according to the latest reports, is stalled by the Russian left, but the Russian center is yielding slowly before the Japanese onslaughts. On Thursday Field Marshal Oyama shifted the weight to his left, seeking to envelop the Russian right eight miles southwest of Mukden. In the bloody hand to hand fighting which followed and continued for hours the losses on both sides were enormous. But the most serious news is the report that the Japanese flanking column at Sinmintin, about thirty miles West of Mukden, has divided, part of it moving straight east to roll up the Russian right wing, while the other is making forced marches north with the evident purpose of cutting the Russian line of communications with Ti Pass and closing line of retreat.
