A BRILLIANT NIGHT Pennsylvania Avenue Thronged With Interested Sightseer A GOOD INDUSTRIAL © DMPLAY Many Business Houses Were Handsomely Illuminated. LIGHTS ON THE CAPITOL Last night at 8 o’clock Pennsylvania avenue, from 15th street to the Capitol, was cceupied by a mass of pushing, jostling hu- manity that filled the roadway from curb to curb. In the center of this dense throng Was a narrow channel, just the width of two car tracks, kept open by the constant plowing of the cable cars through the crowd. When one car would pass the people would close in upon its path like ice floes in the wake of a steamer breaking a passage down a frozen river. The channel would remain cicsed for a few moments, only to be open- ed again by the next car, the crowd giving way before it Ike the swell rolling from a cutter’s bow. A Solid Mass of Human Be! There was a solid mass of human beings 1 mile long by 120 feet wide, composed of men, women and children, not to speak of baby carriages and an occasional horse and buggy wedged in like an extra large log in a Wisconsin log boom. It looked as if ’ 1H. S. Barbour. everything in Washington that had legs was out, and those that could not walk were carried in arms. Moreover, every window, balcony and grand stand along the avenue ‘held its full contingent of people, all craning their heads to see beyond their neighbors, and caring naught for those be- hind them. Every form and face in this vast as- semblage stood out clear and bold in the ficod of ight which pervaded the place from the thousands of lanterns, lamps and electric lights that lined the front of the buildings from roof to lintel post. Looking down the street it was as if one were gaz- ing between two solid walls of light. The east end of this great illuminated hallway czme to a sudden stop in the dark follage of the Capitol grounds, while far above the spot a great circle of light seemed to be suspended in the air, having no visible sup- port above or below it. This was, in fact, the electric lamps strung round and round the dome of the Capitol. At the other end of the brilliant hallway a solitary star was picked out against the dark background, the one are light at the south end of the Treasury Department. Dancing, Twinkling L! At 8:20 a new feature was added to the scene. At the west end of this mile of hu- manity, where the avenue sweeps sharply around and northward up 15th street, ap- peared a myriad of dancing, twinkling lights, which, viewed from a distance, seemed as if a swarm of gigantic firefites, some larger than others and some mere dots of light, were winging thelr way around the corner of the Corcoran building and taking flight for the alluring circle of light crowning the Capitol dome. At the same time a murmur arose from ft! as- sembled thousands on the street, as the crowd surged closer to the open channel in the middle to get a better view of the com- ing procession. Washington's Industries. What was this all about? Why, it was the parade of wagons and floats represent- ing the mercantile and manufacturing estab- “SPECIAL NOTICES.

For two hours stream of decorated and illuminated Wagons and floats swept down the avenue, attended with the playing of bands, the blowing of horns, the ringing of bells and @ deafening din of shouts and cheers and laughter. Washingto: thrift and business enterprise were represented in that line— the butcher, the baker and the candlestick maker were all there,advertising their wares and amusing the people. Every line of trade was represented, and the small mer- A Realistic Float. chant paraded his one team proudly as the great wholesale house, with its score of wagons. The paraders enjoyed it, the crowd enjoyed it, and it was after 10 o'clock before the last light bobbed down the ave- rue, and the crowd, realizing that it was hot and tired, started for home. THOSE IN THE LINE. Business Houses and Industries Rep- resented in the Parade. When the character of the parade was considered it was generally believed that it would be many minutes late in starting. The thousands waiting for it, however, were agreeably disappointed, for fifteen minutes before the appointed hour,8 o‘clock, everything was in readiness, and five min- utes later Chief Marshal H. S. Barbour gave the order to march. S First in line were two or three hundred men tnd boys on bicycles, the machines and riders gatly and frequently grotesquely dressed, while hundreds of brilliantly flai ing lights were carried aloft. B. Mc- Cauley’ great ly-ho, drawn by six horses, and fairly alive with lanterns, tiny globes and burning lights, followed after. Four bugiers from the troops at Fort Myer led the mounted aids of the chief marshal, Capt. H. S. Barbour, Messrs. W. Beuchert, J. M. Denty, R. M. Boyle, J. M. Harris, J. O'Neill, B.S. Wheeler, S. M.

Stewart, C. S. Jacob- son, Charles Schlager, F. G. Alexander, C. Cc, Walter, W. H. Brown, H. B. Parker, R. J. Marshall and '. Prescott. The Grent Bell. Behind the aids, drawn in a huge six- horse wagon, was the great bell of the Mc- Shane foundry of Baltimore. The bell weighed 1,800 pounds, and its ringing tones procla med the approach of the procession. The foundry, in a second wagon, displayed the artistic productions of the plumbing trade. The Adams Express Company, twen- ty-five wagons strorg, next appeared, the first wagon containing a detachment of the Mount Pleasant Bugle and Drum Corps. Fifteen wagons of the United States Express Company followed after, one of the wagons containing the First Regiment Band of Chi- cago. The firm of Littlefield & Alvord was represented by two wagons. The first was a gaily decorated and conveniently arranged dray containing the members of the firm. One of the animals of the firm, with a placard representing that he had seen twen- ty-two years’ service, meekly followed after. The Second Division. The firm of Jas. L. Barbour & Son headed the second division, the wagons of the firm being prettily decorated with flags and bunting and lit up by numerous lights. W. G. Lown_was represented by a large four- horse wagon, from which bags of peanuts and packages of tea and coffee were thrown. P. G. Garden, C. B. Sparrow and P. H. Sheehy contributed with several wagors, which followed after, they being followed by a great four-horse wagon of the Washington Flour and Feed Company, an illuminated barrel of flour being a con- spicuous feature of the exhibit. Two teams of Joseph Ferrerro next appeared, and, to the great delight of the crowd, one of them contained a street piano, which furnished uninterrupted music. Next came. wagons of John EFlumer, M. A. Mess & Son. Jacob Mueller, Hughes Brothers, the Maryland “With the Cyclists. market, Stanton Place market, K. Boesser, McQueen market, M. D. Sullivan, Frank E. Altemus and E. C. Munck. Then followed the mal.y wagons of Havenner’s bakery, pre- ceded by the tiny horse and cart contain- ing four youngsters. There were twenty- two wagons of the firm in line, and they were followed by the tive wagons of the New York Biscuit Company, who made glad the hearts of many in the crowd by dis- tributing biscuits and crackers. The Con- necticut Pie Company followed with their numerous wagons, their display also being preceded by a pony cart, the ponies being driven tandem. Then came the five wagons of the Robert W. Blair bakery, who also distributed crackers and rolls. Other teams in this division were those of Chas. W. Scott, the Family Shoe Store, P. Imire, the Imperial Baking Powder Company, Walker Hill dairy, Boston bakery, the Hotel and Resident Supply Company, Hart & Higgins, Cc. F. Montgomery, W. Hauer, H. P.

The division also contained several other interésting features. One advertising Wier’s lemon seltzer represented a sick man in bed attended by physician and nurse. The display of C. H. Javins & Son represented fish and game, and a 100-pound shark was a feature of it. A number of grotesquely- dressed men drew in a little cart an old Castoria For Infants and Children.

This com- pany was headed by a drum corps of twenty pieces followed by forty men in white hats and suits carrying lanterns. M. Lulley & Co. brought up the rear of this division. The Fourth Division. The fourth d'vision was composed of ex- hibits from the dry goods, furnishing, clothing, shoes and furniture merchants. Craig & Harding’s wagons led the division, those of Julius Lansburgh following after, and in one of the wagons of the latter was an old colored woman in bed attended by her sable family. The exhibit of William Brodt was a great illuminated hat, followed by the teams of the Haines’ Washington Store, L. H. Moore & Co. and Lew Callen- der. The handsome delivery wagons of Messrs.

Gliem signaled to Assistant Engineer Thomas America that all was well, the button was pushed, and immediately the gathering gloom about the Capitol bulld- ing was illuminated as if by an electrical display from the heavens. The illumination of the dome of the Capitol was a triumph of electrical display. ‘The citizens’ committee on parade an] Mlumination, of which Gen. Walker is chair- man, had charge of the arrangements for the display at the Capitol, and the work of laying the necessary wires was carried for- ward under tie supervision of Electrician Cc. P. Gliem, This feature of the evening’s display was devised by Gen. Walker, and to his persisten@y it; execution is due. For thirty-eight years the statue has stood upon the dome of the Capitol, two hundred and seventeen feet above the halls of Congress, where the laws of the land have been made or repealed. With her face toward the east, she has witnessed the msing cf the sun during this long lapse of years. On Monday last, however, for the first time in all that period the lofty solitude was Lroken by the presence of a man. On that day Albert Ports, an expert climber and rig- ger, mounted the stairway leading to the dome and, once there, proceeded, with the assistance of Joseph Sullivan and Dennis Naley, to climb up the back of the statue of Freedom, towering nineteen feet above him. A ladder was with considerable difficulty raised to the base of the statue, and once there it was swung into position so that the top rung rested at a point just between the bronze shoulder blades of Miss Freedom. A Dizzy Height. Carefully but steadily Ports mounted the ladder until the shoulders of the goddess were reached. Once having attained this coign of vant- age he easily swung himself astride the shoulders of the immense bronze statue. Her shoulders, by the by, are of quite com- fcrtable breadth, being exactly six feet across. Then the intrepid climber com- menced to string the wires which conveyed the electrical current supplying the brilliant light that flashed out last gvening from above the head of the statue. A stout staff was lashed about the neck of the statue, and upon this pole a cluster of twelve large incandescent lights were placed. Aside from the cluster of lights, which shone forth from above, the head of the statue, seventy-six sixteen-power electric lamps encircled the base of the statue and etshty-eight one hundred candle power lamps, arranged in eleven clusters, hung over the cornice. Ten clusters were swung under the tholus, making in all an illumi- nation equal to 1,016 candles. John M. Berger & Co. of this city were the contractors, who, under the supervision of Electrician C. P. Glem, strung the wires. The Westinghouse Electric Company loan- ed the lamps for the ocasio: The illumt- nation of the dome of the Capitol will be continued each night throughout the week. A Fase Burned Oat. ‘The current was turned on at 6:03 o'clock last evening, and all the lamps flashed rays of light until 7:58, when a signal was re- ceived from the dome to turn off the elec- trical current. This was promptly obeyed, and for some ten minutes the statue of Freedom was wrapped in darkness. It was found that a fuse in the co ‘tor had burned out. This, however, quickly repaired, and the current again turned on, and the great white dome was once more ablaze with light. Mr. Albert Ports, who adjusted the wires above the head of the statue, discovered that the points form! the are made of platinum set solid gol The electricians of today are not able to ac- count for this combination of metals, but Presume that it was formerly supposed platinum and gold would prove a safe con- ductor of lightning. THE AVENUE ILLUMINATED. Business Men Who Added to the Bril- Mancy of the Display. Apparently all Weshington and Its float- ing population were on Pennsylvania ave- nue last night. The pushing, jostling, good- natured mass of people were there mainly to witness the industrial pageant, but, in addi- tion, they had a chance to gaze on a bril- Nant scene, and the greater portion of the brilliancy would have been lacking had it not been for the enthusiasm showed by the residents along the thoroughfare in illumi- nating their places of business and resi- dences, Chinese lanterns were very much in evi- dence, and as far as the eye could reach long lines and unique designs of the paper torches could be seen on both sides of the street. The private illvminations began just under the gleaming dome of the Capi- tol. The Monumental House, at the corner of Ist street and the avenue, was bedecked with lanterns from the roof to the awning poles. Nagle’s restaurant, just to the left, did not lack for lights of fancy design,while D. Grupe’s confectionery store and the res- taurant of Joseph Torrens. and Tony Schneider were also in line. Every gas jet in the Monumental building was lighted. Between 2d and 3d streets lanterns were profusely strewn atout the front of the Motel Hanover, Henry Ansley’s jewelry store and Shaffield's confectionery estab- lishment. The awning poles, as well as the front of Holl’s cigar store, was supplied with lanterns, and W. Horn, the tatflor, had candles burning in every window in the front of his establishment. More Brilliant minations. Beginning at 8d street, the Belvedere, Mades’ and the United States Hotels had not forgotten to light up their fronts in vari-colors. The Cumberland was right in line, as was the Oxford, and Hickling’s drug store was supplied with a V-shaped design just above the awning poles. Across the street the tall building occupied by J. William Lee, the undertaker, looked impos- ing with a line of lanterns hung from across every story. The restaurants of Marinelli & Massino, Evans Hudson and Joseph Grosemeyer were not dark by any means, and neither were the International nor the large cigar and tobacco establishment of George W. Scott. Nine candles modestly burned in each window of the Philadelphia House, and J, H. Houston tiluminated his cigar store in a similar manner. Just beyond 41-2 street the store of the District. Cycle Company was a mass of color. Fritz Reuter’s restaurant, on the northwest corner, was fronted with a cir- cular line of lights, and lanterns were also noticed on the establishments of William M. Frank, ticket broker; Meyer's Hotel, H. W. Higham, bicycles; P. Di Marzo, barber: Beall & Baker, grocers; Lutz & Bro., har- ness, and A. Minster, gents’ furnishings. The Hotel Emrich was a veriteble forest of incandescent lights. With but one or two exceptions every building between 6th and 7th streets was specially illuminated from roof to side- walk. Those having lanterns hung from their places of business were Selby, restau- rant; Moore's Hotel, C. T. Carter & Co., hardware; Bryan Bros., grocers; Browning Brothers & Middleton, groce W. G. Orr & Co., crockery and glassware; James L. Barbour & Son, wholesale grocers; J. B. Kendall, hardware; F. Brinkman, cigars; H. Hoffa, jeweler, and the American House. The Metropolitan Hotel, J. Auerbach, the hatter and furnisher, and the Third Co- operative Building Association, on the north side of the street, all had their buildings brilliantly lighted. Went of Dth Street. The only thing in the way of illumina- tion between 7th and 9th streets was a glowing display sign of Clinedinst, the photographer, at the northeast corner of Sth street and Market space, which at- tracted considerable attention. Beginning at 9th street, the Crawford shoe store, in addition to its permanent display sign, had out numerous small lights. The Bon Ton lunch rocms were supplied with a bon ton lantera display, and the Columbia Phonograph building was a shaft of rain- bow lights. Creditable displays were also arranged on the buildings eecupied by the Knights of Pythias Hall and the restaurant at 04 Pennsylvania ave- nue; J. Ww. Boteler, China and glassware; Edw. F. Droop, pianos and music; Ratcliffe, Darr & Co., auctioneers; W. Breuninger, jeweler; Ellis, planos and music; A. M. Hoover, cigars, and B. Bryan, saloon. - Baier's restaurant, J. Hormann’s restau- rant, James Owen's, L. H. Schneider's Sons’ hardware establishment, Anderson's printing establishment, Harvey's restau- rant, Sickle’s cigar store and M. A. Tap- pan’s sporting emporium furnished the glare and glitter between 10th and llth streets. The Evening Star buildings were appro- priately illuminated, but no other lights were displayed on the block between 11th and 12th streets. On the next block, how- ever, H. A. Seligscn’s liquor establishment, Ogram’s drug store, Delmonico’s resta rant, Willer’s restaurant, Gerome Desio's [statist d store shone forth with candle light. just above 13th and Pennsylvania avenue on 19th street Warwick’s restaurant was a blaze of electricity, Velcome, K. P.” shin- ing forth in big letters. Wickes Refrigerator Company's building on the south side of the street between 13th and 14th streets was well supplied with lanterns, and light was seen through every window of the immense Washington and Georgetown Railroad Company's power house. The white walls of the Hotel Law- rence showed up well behind a trio of col- ored arc electric lights and a huge anchor of diminutive electric lights burned from the very top of the new Washington Post structure. A sunburst of electricity was seen above Gerstenberg’s restaurant. A strip of vari-colored electric lights graced the front of Albrecht’s restau- rant at the corner of 14th street, while the electrical establishment of Royce & Marean displayed a novelty. It vas a window full of feathers kept in constant circulation by electric fans and resembled greatly a snow storm. The golden and electric entrance to Albaugh’s Opera House formed a fit- ting end of the mile and a quarter stretch of private illuminations. DRILL OF THE DEMONS. A Weird and Uniq ition Given in Front of The Star Office. The large crowd passing along Pennsyl- vania avenue in front of The Evening Star buildings shortly after 10 o'clock last night were forced to the conclusion that Old Nick had come to town, and with two score of his followers was holding high carnival,with brimstone accompaniment. At the time re- ferred to a -veritable Mephistopheles, clad in rich red attire, with short horns sprout- ing from his head and carrying a forked scepter,pushed a passage through the crowd. Behind him marched a similar being cloth- ed in ghastly black, and then came a pha- lanx of creatures wearing red and spangles, gilded shoes and also carrying forked wands, Blotches of green appeared under the eyes of each individual in the group, and each also wore a curling mustache of the most approved demontac fashion. As soon as sufficient room could be found the demons, under command of their Sa- tanic leader, went through a series of in- tricate evolutions and mancuvers, the ex- cellence of which has seldom been witnessed on or off the stage. They marched by twos, threes, fours and sizes, formed crosses, diamonds, squares and circles and sat on each other's knees to rest in a most gro- tesque manner. At length each imp, in some marvelous manner, obtained posses- sion of a green bag filled with firecrackers and pyrotechnics, and for fifteen minutes firecrackers by the hundreds exploded and sent forth sparks in a manner that sur- passed by far the most graphic description ever penned of the furnace that burns in the place just beyond purgatory. Next roman candles were brought into play with telling effect. The squad was reformed, and after several other evolutions, gave a most weird and demon-like yell for The Star and marched off to Camp George Washington. Wild applause greeted the driliers through- out the exhibition. The unique show, which was enjoyed by thousands of spectators, was furnished by the drill team of Parkersburg, W. Va., Division No. 8, Knights of Pythias. They are as follows: Capt. 8S. B. Baker, First Lieut. E. R. Warnick, Second Lieut. C. E. Morrison, Right Guide W. H. Dunbar, Left Guide E. E.

Charles Raber, and accompanied by the Brooklyn, N. Y., drum and bugle corps, and also by Rankin Post drum, fife and bugle corps. A number of musical selections were excellently ren- dered,.which brought forth applause from a large number of attentive listeners. THE PYTHIAN SISTERS. The Report of the Supreme Chief Shows the Strength of the Order. The Supreme Temple of the Pythian Sisters devoted their entire time during day- Lght yesterday to its third biennial session. The deliberations were held behind closed doors, and the business transacted consisted of the reading of reports, while a portion of the evering was devoted to the exemplifica- tion of the secret work of subordinate lodges. The report of the supreme chief, Mrs. Hattie A. Robinson, was lengthy, but full of interest, especially in its recom- mendations for reforms in the procedure of the order. She reported that forty-eight temples had been established in the past two years, mostly in western states, while two had gone out of existence. In New York city, Pueblo, Col.; Walla Walla, Wash., and Portland, Oregon, grand temples have also been established. Mrs. Robinson strongly recommended that no grand temple should be instituted with less than ten sub- ordinate lodges, for the reason that a lesser membership weakens such a body, and makes Its financial strength poor. She sug- gested also that all supreme chiefs should be allowed to vote in the Supreme Temple; that the numerical strength of the member- ship of a temple should be considered in connection with its representation in the supreme body, and recommended several changes in the composition of the beard of trustees. It was shown by the report of S. M. of R. and C., Mrs. M. D. Wood, that the receipts had been $30,029.49 and the expenses $23, The committees on credentials, writ- and unwritten work, distribution and others also made reports, and were dis- charged. The sisters are in session today considering matters of much importance. INSPECTION AND REVIEW. eee . An Excellent Showing Made at Camp George W ington. The field inspection and grand review of the Uniform Renk, Knights of Pythias, was held yesterday evening on the ellipse of the White Lot. The green fields wore a martial aspect. Because of the lack of space, the en- tire Pythian army was not mancuvered, only about three thousand men taking ac- tive part. The remainder was relieved from military duty and this contingent helped to swell the host of spectators. Assembly was sounded at 3:30, the several brigades were massed four ranks deep, stretching acrors the White Lot. At 4 o'clock Maj. Gen. Car- nahan and staff rode to the front and cen- ter of the assembled legions and the field inspection was immediately begun. The in- specting party galloped around each brigade, this ceremony occupying half an hour. The commerder-in-chief and staff again took up Positions at the center and the order for re- view was given. Maj. Gen. Schofield, commanding the Unit- ed States army, had promised to officiate at the Inspection and review, but, on account of professional engagements, was prevented from doing so. The various brigades passed in review in the same order as in the parade of Tues- day, and this precedence was determined by_the seniority of their jurisdiction. ‘The column was led by the Indiana bri- gade, under command of Briga@ter Gen. James R. Ross, and for two hours the cere- mony continued, endirg with the cavalry squadron, under Maj. Jefferson Young of Syraccse, N. Y. Among the Civisions that were reviewed, those conspicuous for their excellent march- ing were Divisions 43 and 56 of Indiana; Division 5, New Albany, Ind.; Excelsior Divisicn, No. 43, Indianapolis; Indiana Di- vision, No. 56, Indianapolis; Hastings Divis- fon, No. 19, Michigan; Parkersburg Divis- jon, No. 3, West Virginia; Louisville Divis- ion, No. 1, Kentucky; Terre Haute Divis- fon, No. 8, Indiana; Marion Division, No. 25, Indiana; Kansas City Division, No. 3, Missouri; John Barr Glenn Division, No. 10, Wisconsin; Prevost Division, No. 1, Missouri; Lily Division, No. 16, lowa: Para vate Division, No. 11, Alabama: Pioneer Division, No.1, Arkansas; Wiillamsport riven. No. 19,” Pennsylvania. udges estimate the number of sj at the review at 30,000. —— ——- THE STAR AND THE PYTHIANS, A Complete and Attractive Record of the Encampment Fifteen Cents.
