6 WELCOMED WITH BUNTING FLAGS AND STREAMERS FLYING. THE CITY GAILY DECORATED. ELABORATE DESIGNS. American Colors and Templar Arms MANY Descriptions of the Street Decorations Along the Route and Elsewhere— The Decorator’s Skill Taxed to the Utmost—Attractive Com- Dinations of Flags and Devices of the Order. ipa If bunting can be taken as expressing the warmth of the welcome which Washington ex- tends to thelegions of sir knights coming into the city. the visitors need little assurance be- yond this visible one of the cordiality of their greeting. On every building along the business streets a welcome is written in the brightest colors that the decorator can command. Many structures are elaborately ornamented for the occasion and every house shows some bit of color or appropriate device pleasing to the eye. The decoration is not comfined, by any means, to the streets and avena-s aiong which the parade will pass, but of course it is more general on these thoroughfares, If not more extensive than on‘inauguration day, the decora- tion is more remarkable for its variety. The blending of Templar and Masonic emblems with patriotic emblems affords opportunities for the desixners and decorators of which they have taken full advantage. In almost every case more pains than is usual have been taken in arranging the decorations. The fronts of buildings are draped with streamers, decked with rosettes or banners, shields and Templar arms, grouped in many graceful forms. There has been on the part of business men 8 very general effort to make the visitors feel that this is a Templar city, at least for the present week. ON PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE. Pennsylvania avenue is naturally the most elaborately decorated street, as the parade is to pass over much of its length. From the Capitol to Washington circle there is a blend- ing array of bunting. Theroute of the parade west of the Treasury department is not so generally decorated as eastof that point. Prob- ably the simplest and most effective decora- tions on the route are those of the Trea-ury and the War departments. It is done chiefly with immense Amer: flags. Each of the columns of the long colonnade on the east front of the Treasury is wrapped to the height of about 15 feet with either an immense flag or with crossed bands of bunting. some red, some white. and some blue. but none blended. Light festoons pass trom one column to the other. The eight columns on the uorth front are wrapped with immense flags, two of them of the revenue design. On each column, ut the height of 15 fect, isa large silver star. Between these sturs, from column to column, hang red, white and blue bands ‘The north front of the War, building is decorated most effectively twenty of the largest flugs thatare made. the middie eight i In lags are bung from the two balconies and the pot of the roof, and on either side are six figs similarly arranged, The narrow part of (5th stre+t between the two disconnected euds of Pennsylvania avenue The windows and fronts of the Metropolitan full of color.

High up over the front entrance isa large white banuer, with yellow border, beuring in its center a blood red cross. Over the windows and doors are Ameri- can flags and shields end smaller flags, em- blems of Knight Templury, and nearly every description of embiematic flags and streamers almost cover the bonse with blended colors of red, white, blue and gold.

The central flag- staff supports half a dozen lines of small flags, while most of the u Hagerty’s restaurant ia brightly col- ored and nearly every other building on the square between 12th and 13th streets bas its quota of bunting.

LOGAN'S OLD HOME. A PICTURESQUE OLD MANSION. THE KNIGHT TEMPLAR RECEPTION. The Grounds to Be Brilliantly Illuminated. The Logan Memorial Hall—Why Mrs. Logan Receives the Templars—Gen. Logan’s Record as a Mason end a Sir Knight. ——————__—_ The reception which will be tendered by Mra. John A. Logan to the Knights Templar cn Thursday evening is, in part, a recognition of the connection which her husband hed with that order. In the proceedings of the Grand commandery of Illinois, at their session in 1887, the Masonic career of Gen, Logan is givenin the biographical minute of his death. It is as follows: “Raised Master Mason in Benton lodge, No. 64. Benton, Ill., September 6, 1851. Exalted a Royal Arch Mason in Washington 43, Chicago, September 11, 1885. d created a Knight Templar in Chevalier Bayard commandery, No. 52, Hnights Templar, Chicago, December 1, 1855. Received the grades of the Ancient Ac- cepted Scottish Rite, four degrees to thirty- second degree, in Orientalfconsistory,Chicago, November 11, 1880, to October 6, 1883. He was clected a sovereign grand inspector general thirty-third and last degree. the Supteme council, Ancient Scottish Kite, north- ern Masonic jurisdiction, at the Chicago session, September 19, 1836, The grade was not con- ferred upon him on this earth, for he was sum- moned to receive his crown at the hands of our blessed Immanuel, in the Grand asylum above, December 26, 1886, and was laid to rest Decem- ber 31. 1856. His casket was draped with our national flag. the emblem of his loyalty to country and the beauseant of Chevalier Bayard commandery, No. 52. Knights Templar, the emblem of his faith iu Christianity.” CALUMET PLACE, Calumet Place as the home when Gen, Logan passed the last years of his life is known, and where the reception will be held, is large, old-fashioned house, standing on the brow of the hill overlooking the city on the north, The house is built upon the sturdy lines of the style of architect- ure which used to be the tashion some yeurs ago. There is lacking the odd curves and strange conceits which distinguishes much of the house architecture of the present day. But the old house has a hospitable ap- pearence. It looks as if generous fires burned inthe broad chimney places and the table was loaded with plenty toeat. It is a house built for comfort rather than for show, and in all the changes that have gone on about it since it was fir.t built it has practically remained unchanged. This old house basa history. It was the manor house of the old Stone estate. It was built about 1840 and the o: hange made since then in the originul pian is the removal of the west wing. ‘I'he wings east and west stood back of and a little apart from the main building, with which they were connected by halls below and galleries above. In front of the west wing stood an evergreen tree, which one of the sons ofthe Stoue family brought from Shelly's grave and planted there. It was destroyed when the wing was removed after the house passed from the possession of the Stone family. During the war. Stone came into the cit and took up her residence on 14t street a few doors north of F street. where she still lives. The soldiers camped on the Stone farm during the war. In receut years tee fields have been divided up into city lots, and Gen a short time before his death bought the old Stone house, Logan made some improvements about the house and in the interier. The most no- table one is the transformation of the last wing into a hall which is filled with mementoes of the late general, and is known as the “Logan Memorial Hull.” The ceiling is of stained lass, representing a blue sky with stars, the borace of an amber shade unornamented. A deep historic frieze extends around the cove of the ceiling. On the north and south sides are represented eagles with streamers extending from their beaks beer ie names of the battles in which Gen, gan Lpirearpee ‘The features of the west and east sides of the frieze are the coats of arms of the United States andof the state of Illinois. In the corners are conventional representations of ivy, laurel and shamrock and thistle. The side walis of the wails of the ball are fintshed in Pompeiian tones, 20 as to furnish a suitable back ground for the various MEMENTOES OF GEN. LoGaN, which the hall was specially designed to re- ceive. Amarble bustof the general is con- spicuous, while photographs, battle flags and other objects of interest ure hung against the tends around the room, ‘The hall, which is 15x 40 feet, with a lotty ceiling, opens into a con- servatory, which gives a very preity effcct, There are two large windows in the hall, filled with stained glass made from special designs furnished by the decorator, The center of the south window has a bust of the general with his name beiow, und in the lower part a crossed sword and gun and ascroll with a pen, embiamatic of the career of Gen. Logan, ‘Ihe center of the north window con- talus the family coat of arms and a large Ma- souie badge, the Loyal Legion badge and other emblems, The hali bas been appropriately furnished, THE DECORATIONS, The decorations of the house and grounds on Thursday next will not only be elaborate but very beautiful.

Evans is chairman, has spared no expcuse in perfecting all the de- tails to make the affuir oue of the most elegant ner of 7th and G streets, have a profusion of i | the north side of New York avenue between | 6th and 7th, Draney’s Portland stables, a fine | ! three-story building, has a profusion of bant- | the Masonic mutual relief association, the | ever given in this city. Mr. L. Moxley of this city was given orders to decorate the house and grounds, and his plans have met with the ap- | proval of the committee.

Ward is now incarcerated in the Dis- trict jail,?took place at 10 o'clock yesterday morning from the residence of his purents, 606 H street northwest. During Saturday and yesterday the body of Adler was vie Several thousand persons and the fu: largely attended, nearly every Hebrew family insthe city being represented. The body was encased in a plaiu pine coffin, which was eu- tirely covered with floral tributes, The services ‘ai the house were conducted by Rev. L. Stern, president of the Washington Hebrew congre- gation. In his discourse he spoke touch.ugly of the life of the deceased and said that his remuins were there owing to an act both rash and cruel, caused by something always danger- ons. cowardly and disgraceful. The carrying of pistols in a civiazed commaniiy, he said, was as acrime, and should be punished as much, as the acts resulting from their use, The services were very brief and simple. The pte were J. W. Nordlinger, Charles waky, E, Blout, Joseph Giersdorf, Henry Franc, 8. J. King, W. L. Sirasburgerand Henry Willams. The interment wus made at the Hebrew cemetery beyond Uniontown. The remains were followed to the cemetery by nearly 100 carriages, aioe THE COURTS. Equirr Court.—Judge Coz, Today—Costelio agt. McFarland; bill dis- missed without prejudice. Keyser agt.

A Talk with Detective Flinders About | the Light-Fingered Gentry. 4 GOOD MANY EXPECTED SERE THIS WERK—HOW THEY OPERATE—WORDS OF CAUTION TO TisI- TORS WITH VALUABLES—FEMALE THIEVES aXD THEIR METHODS, “There will bean immense crowd of people here this week.” sald Detective Flinders of the firm of McDevitt & Flinders, to a Stax reporter, | “and that will no doubt attract here the asual and will be assisted by the fol- | | that they are not suxpected. gangs of thieves that depredate on all large gatherings of people. There will be many wealthy citizens among the visitors not only well supplied with mones, but mort of them with valuable watchesand jJewriry. You can restas- sured that no one knows better than thecrouka, The professional pickpockets who travel from Place to place and do nothing else for a living make a study of the celebrations that are apt to draw large crowds of well-to-do people and cal- culate whether the trip is worth making or not.” 4 BIG CROWD OF WELL-TO-DO VISITORS EXPECTED. “The authorities,” he continued, “have no money to spend for outside assistance as they ought to have. althouzh some detectives from the cities nearby will no doubt be here and lend them ald in tne detection of the thieves. While the crowd nay not be as large as that at the in- suzuration, there will be many thousand people here. ‘There will ve a larger number of persons from the surrounding country here than there was at the inauyuration. The raluy Weather at that time kept several thousand People at home. They wll probably all be here this week because there will be more than one day's festivities and the chances are that there will be some good weather. HOW 4 MOB OF THIEVES work. “Yes, pickpockets are usually very smart fel- lows.” the detective went on. “Awa rule, they dress well aud present such a good appearance Blacksmith Dan, who was one of the finest operators in the busi- hess, used to say that It was great stand of and see a mob work. Mai think that pickpockets zo about and do their robbing promiscuously, but that is mot the case. In the Orst place they don’t oftea work | sinzle- handed. hey go about In gangs. or, to use their own slang, in in the Grst place they pick out the ‘mark.’ as the victimis culled, and get him in position. That ix the work of the mob and while he is thus held the ‘dip.’ as the worker is celled, commits the theft. The 9g who get the mark in posit ‘stalls.’ The mark is selected not because be is or is only supposed to have money. THE SPOTTER, whose duty It is to pick out the mark, can tell from the victim's actions whetuer he has much money about him or not. Most persons who travel and carry money with them cannot refrain from often placing their hand on the et in which the cash ix deposited to feel if it is safe. People who only carry a small amount are not apttodo so. Diamond pius, of course, can ve easily located, and so can a valuable watch. 4 STREET CaR RUSH. “The principal places selected to work are on Street cars and especially at the Junctions; also hotei corridors and places of public amusement. A mob of thieves will, for Instance, appear at a street-car junction and when the passengers are etting off the car they will attempt to get on. This of course causes some confusion and the ‘stalls’ will manave to detain some one while the ‘dip’ goes through him. There is always & confederate in the crowd who receives the stolen property and makes way with it, so that shoud the ‘dip’ ve caught in the act nothing would be found on bim. “A GREAT MISTAKE People make is in unconsciously assisting pick- Pockets to operate. For instance, at the en- trance to a public place, where there Isa Jam, every body Is pushing, and in eo doing the ‘mark ie held up, saving the ‘stalls’ the trouble. The best thing to doin such acrowd or jam isto stand perfectly quiet and not push backwards and turward, thus assisting the th eves. “There is another personage who takes an important part in picking pockets. He is the one who does the -fanning.” His business ts to £0 ahead and fee! for fut pocket books, and when he finds one he gives the tip te the ‘dip,’ and then the ‘stalls’ come along and hold up the ‘mark’ until the ‘dip’ weeds him. are rome well PICKPOCKETS WHO WORK ALONE. They have no contederates to divide the plunder with, and therefore the chances of being cap- tured are not so great. Some of those who work alone use an overcoat fora blind. No matter how severe the weather Is, they carry their overcoat on their arms and work beneath | it. They can secure adiamond pin or watch and without much of a chance of being captured The overcoat covers the hand the operator works with, 80 that the victim seldom suspects the crook. DUMMIES. “There is only one class of pickpockets who use dummies, and the talk about the ordinary pickpocket using them is all dosh. The dum- my is only used in cases where such persons as bank messengers or bu-iness men, who make regular trips to a bank are selected as the vie- tims, Suct. persons carry their money in the same sort of a package every dav. and the thief has no trouble to make a similar package of tissue paper. This duumy is carried until ean opportunity to ‘take the book’ is presented, and then the dummy ts substituted. That is used to throw the victim off his guard until the thief has had time to cover his tracks. In most cases of that sort the victim carries the money in his coat pocket. A CASE IN POINT. “‘I remember,” continued Detective Flinders, “aman who went to bank every day about noon and always carried a large sum of money with him. It was his habit to stop at corner truit stand and purchase fruit. He invariably laid his package of money on the stand. He was spotted, and one day his valuable packave was removed and a dummy was substituted. He put the dummy in his pocket and did not know the difference until he reached the bank and was about, ashe supposed, to count the money. Instead of bank notes he found he had batch of toilet paper.” FEMALE PICKPOCKETS. “tare there any female pickpockets?” inquired the reporter. “Oh, ves,” answered the detective, “but their operations are not 0 extensive as those of the males. They do not often ply their business on the street, but confine at princi- pally to stores, churches indoor places where there 1s any sort of @ crowd. and they usually select woren as their victims. They are very clever workers, indeed, and can work with- out a “push.” The female pickpocket is smart, and can usually take a ‘trick’ without exciting suspicion. Of course she is not |, a8 one would not ordiuarily suspect a temale of any such act. Then there is a class of women take their purse or watch, and while the victim is paying his bill she slips out, They are THE MOST DANGEROUS FEMALE THIEVER, for when a man is robbed in that way he can't afford to complain. a: his reputation would be ruined.

It may be sand the ut form is the outcome of a great deal of egislation on the partof the Grand epcamp ment THE EARLY COSTUME. Inthe early days of Knight Templary the dress adopted was picturesque, but rather um- suitable to the needs of modern duties of Knights Templar, It was as follows: A white woolen mantel to reach the knee ip front, and taper away to the ankle behind, fustened with white cord and tassel, and with red cross patee on the le(t shoulder; white woolen tunic reaching to about three or four inches above the kuce, with the cross upon the left breast; white stock, with failing white shirt collar; tight white pantaicons; buf! boots with buff tops turned over five inches broad, no tasswls; spurs gilt, with red leathers; of white silk, haifa yard in breadth, tied in o im front, the ends edged with a white silk fringe hanging down 5 red Crone near the extremities; white woolen cap with red ber band, or, if he has obtained # diploma from the Grand master, « red velvet cap; no feathers cross-Liited sword with brass guard, aud white ivory hilt; scabbard of red morocco; belt of red leather, with gilt buckle; buff gaun’ with a red cross on the wrist; badge, enameled black cross. with white orle, ands email red cross enameled thereun, sapeu from the neck byared ribbon with white edges. about oe inches broad, passing through ge. 4 CHANOR MADE. Subsequently a more practicable dress was adopted.

On ite dap was taced ® triangle of silver, perforated with twelve holes, with across and serpent in the center, On the center of the apron a skull and cross-Lones between turee stars of seveu points, having 4 red cross im the center of each.

Finally a the Chicago conclave it was directed that the cout should be cut military fashion, and that the buttons should be of gilt. The order has not, however, been very stricly followed There is stil a lack of complete uniformity. ommanderies have retained the cape and apron, others have varied the shape of the hat and others again have not deemed it es sential that theircoats should be of mulitary fashion, THE LOCAL COMMANDERITS. All the commanderies in this District, with the exception of Washington, No. i, wear the uniform with white sash aud belt and po apron, No, 1, however, still retains what is known es the “black uniform.” They have adhered this uniform in «pite of the order of the Gr encawpment to the contrary. When the dele- gates attended the Grand encampment in 1876 at New Orieaus they were forbidden to wear this uniform. They all went to New Orleans, however, headed oy the late Heury F. Stans bury, and, while they did not wear the scribed uniforms, they cerried them along in their trunks, The matter was brought up in the sessions of the Grand em campment, and, after « long discussion, o Feso.ution was adopted permitting certain com- manderies, No. 1 being among the number, to wear this uniform. As svou as this. ciiog was reached the forbidden uniforms ap from their hiding places and the memvers of No. 1 waked about the streets of New Orleans in triumph. displaying the theu celebrated “black uniform.” The Knight Templar dress may be described as severe military in charac- ter.
