UNIFORMS AND FLOATS Some of the ee: That Will Appear in Monday's Parade. How Many of the Organized Labor Bodies Will Dress and Ilus- trate Their Trades. Chief Marshal McHugh said yesterday that there are a number of organizations that intend to take part in the Labor day parade the members of which have not yet publicly signified the kind of uniform they intend to wear on that occasion, nor will they do so, preferring rather to surprise the thousands who will line the strests along the line of march by their more than usual attractiveness. Among the most attractive of the uni- forms whose make-up has been disclosed will be that of the Horseshoers’ Union, which will have the post of honor, the right of the line, in the first division. They will wear black trousers, black silk caps, blue flannel shirts and white neckties; also white belts, with metal horseshoe badge. On the front of the shirt there will be an embroidered horseshoe, with the number “17 well display hey will also have a float in line, ‘The plate printers will have a uniform consisting of dark trousers and coat, and light Fedora hat, and they will wear as a badge a one-dollar treasury note.

It is not expected that the carriage and wagon makers nor the marine engineers will wear any particular uniform, but each member will have a badge, and the former will bave twenty-five carriages and two tally-hos, and the latter a sufficient num- ber of carriages to accommodate all of their members who may wish to partici- pate in the celebration. This will be the first time that the carriage and wagon makers have taken part in a Labor day parade, but there is every reason for be- Heving that their display will be very fine. The bricklayers will wear as a uniform blue serge coat and trousers and light hat, and each member will carry a cane. The paperhangers will wear dark sults with white yachting caps, and each will carry a Japanese fan, whi ed with red, white and blue ribbons, and from which there will float a small United States flag. - The I.

The plate printers will have a press in operation, and they will distribute souve- a along the line of march. These souve- nirs are beautiful steel engravings, one of which {s entitled “The Old Oaken Bucket.” In the picture a boy is seen in the act of drinking from an old-time well bucket, while near him are two fine dogs. The backgro! shows an ivy-covered cottage and a glimpse of a river.

Grand Opera House.—The season of 1805 at the Grand Opera House will commence Monday night with the presentation of Sardou’s “Helena” by Robert Downing and his company. This will be the first per- formance in English of this play, and Mr. Downing has spared no pains nor expense to give the work of the great French play- wright a deserving setting. New scenery has been painted especially for this piece, and the costumes have been prepared with regard to historical accuracy. The plot of the play is very Sardouesque, and the theme is even more daring than that of “Gismonda,” but it is treated with a skill and discretion which only a master hand can employ. The incidental music has been composed by Mr. A. Tregina of this city, who has preserved the spirit of the four- teenth century, in which the ‘action is laid, and has shown great ability in his com- position. Mr. D. Hall, the translator and adapter of “Helena,” has displayed great discretion and power in his work and has preserved the spirit of the original while making such changes as were found uecessary for an American audience. Mr. Downing has been diligently rehearsing his company for the past two weeks, and is satisfied that the performance on Monday night will go through without a hitch. His own part is one that will enhance his reputation, while that of his wife, Eugenie Blair, is fully’ equal in opportunities to that of any of Sardou’s great heroines. The sale of seats has been very large, and the star and play will be greeted with a Breat audience. In obedience to man; quests, Mr. Downing will appear in Gladiator” next Saturday night. “Helena” will be given at every other performance next week. Academy of Music.—The attraction at the Academy of Music next week will be the “Derby Mascot,” which is said to vossess many elements of popularity.

He will then present Miss Lillian Russell in her latest success, “Tzigane.” An engagement upon which Mr. Albaugh looks forward to with great interest is that of Miss Ada Rehan, who will come here early in October. Miss Rehan has not only met the expectation of the best critics in this country, but the tributes of enthusiastic praise have been laid at her feet by the English critics, one of the most forcible being written by Henry La- bouchere in Truth. He says: “In Miss Rehan we have grace, ideality, womanli- ness, humor and the most indescribable gift of all charms." The following plays will be presented here by Miss Rehan and Monday, “Railroad of Love;” Tuesday, “School for Scandal;” Wednesday, “Twelfth Night; Thursday, “As You Like I Friday and Saturday matinee, “Midsummer Night's Dream; Saturday night, “Taming the Shrew Kernan's Lyceum Theater.—T.

The costumes worn throughout the performance are said to be marvels of beauty and taste. The olfo is exceptionally strong, and among those who will appear in this part of the program are Paula and Dika, the sensa- tlonal French eccentriques; Charles V. Semon, comedian and mimic; Harry Bryant and Carrie Fulton, the clever comedy duo; the Sisters Milburn, character artists, sing- ers and dancers; Tom Nolen, author and singer of popular parodies, aud Fred Bulla, the acrobatic wonder.

Gther Sp:eches ‘Made at an Enthu- silastic Gathering of the Union Repubiiean Club, The feature of tha meeting of the Union Republican Club in {ts new quarters in Willard’s Hotel yesterday evening was the Presence and the address of Mr. Lloyd Lowndes, the republican candidate for sovernor of Maryland. There was a busi- ness meeting befcre the speech making began, at which Chairman J. H. Dewees of the committee on membership reported favorably on the names of seventy-six ap- Plicants, who were admitted as members, among them being Gen. John B. Colton, Charles W. Needham, Judge Jeremiah Wil- son, Congressman Doolittle of Washing- ton, F. W. Pratt, H. H. Smith, A. 8. Odell, W. A. Ballinger, A. L. Cranford and W. D. Hughes. President Thomas J. Lasler of New Hampshire, who was in the chair, an- nounced that the club would not seek to further the ambition of any one man, but would work sleeplessly and vigorously for the election of -the nominees of the next republican national convention. The pres~ ence of Mr. Lowndes in the city being an- nounced, a committee, composed of ex- Gov. Alonzo Hart of Ohio and Mr, Dewees of Pennsylvania, was uppointed to invite him to join the gathering. While the committee was absent ex-Goy. Fletcher of Missouri made a characteristic speech, in which he declared that a repub- lcan air and spirit pervaded Missouri. The arrival of Mr. Lowndes was the sig- nal for great enthusiasm and order was not restored for several minutes. When it yas Mr. Lowndes addressed the gather- ng. He said Maryland was entering upon the greatest political fight in her history, in which the republicans were confronted by the shrewdest manager who ever entered politics, and who, having held the state in his grasp for twenty-five years, would not let go without a strugsie. But, said Mr. Lowndes, there was a united republi- can party arrayed against a divided de- mocracy. He sald many democrats openly refused to support their party candidate and instanced the recent interview of ex- Gov, and ex-Senator Pinkney Whyte, re- pudiating the ticket, adding that Congress- man Jsador Kayner and State Senator Hayes were going to follow suit. In conclusion, Mr. Lowndes said that if a fair and square election were to tuke place next Tuesday, the republicans would carry the state by 15,000 to. 20,000 majority. What the next two months would bring forth he could not tell. He had heard that President Cleveland and his friends were going to help the Maryland democrats, but He uataly thought it possible because he is closest allies were bi en ticket there, LT t the conclusion of Mr. Lowndes’ 5; there was renewed enthusiasm, PeecP Mr. John W.

Youngest Reeruit im the Service at the Outhrenk of the War. Past Commander Daniel Williams of Lin- coln Post, G. A. R., of this city is belleved to be the youngest man that entered the service of this country during the late war. The records show that he was born in 1851, and was, therefore, eleven years old when he enlisted. A Penrsylvania paper, re- ferring to the subject, printed the follow- ing: “Mr. Williams enjoys a peculiar no- teriety as having actually been the young- est boy mustered into the United States service during the late war. This honor hus been claimed by many, but a lengthy article in the Philadelphia Times seems fully to accord it to Mr. Willlams, wha on September 1, 1862, was mustered as the drummer of company I, twenty-fourth regi- ment New Jersey nine months’ volunteers. His record then stands thus:‘Dan'l William: aged eleven; height, four feet-one incl After discharge in June, 1863, he re-enlisted in a Pennsylvania three months’ regiment, and still again the following winter for three years in the celebrated command krown as Birney’s Fire Zouaves. Hard and continuous service was his lot all through, but he endured all without a re- spite or furlough and without even a ‘hos- pital record.’ And he can ‘make a drum talk’ yet, as he proved when he found one at the home of Mr. Geo. Auldridge, when a guest there,”” Mr. Willlamsc is well known in this city. He is a member of the police force, and his active service won for him a promotion, and he now handles the thousands of dollars that are paid in fines at the Police Court from year to year. —_————— Cash Deposits by Gas Consumers. To The Editor of The Evening Star: Apropos of the recent agitation by the District Commissioners for cheaper gas, Compulsory it might be well for them to inquire into the right of the gas light company to de- mand a cash deposit on meters placed in dwellings and other buildings where gas is use™. It was with no little surprise that I learned that in order to have a meter placed in a dwelling recently rented I must first make a deposit of five dollars ($5) as security against default. I never heard of such a high-handed piece of busi- ness, and mind you, the company reserves the right to cut off the gas, in default of payment, for one -month’s consumption. I cannot conceive of a better scheme for creating a large capital. A little calcula- tion shows that the good people of Wash- ington are furnishing the Washington Gas Light Company with a working capital of anywhere from $150,000 to $200,000. Let us suppose that the city’s population of 280,- 000 souls, is made up say 40,000 families —30,000 of whom are making use of gas— requiring the use of 30,000 meters. The minimum deposit reauired-is $5, and in some cases as much as $20 is charged. So $5 would be a small average. Yet suf- ficient to show that even at this low rate the gas light company have in use $150,000 of the people's money. Is it any wonder that with such a capital, and with gas at $1.25 per thousand feet, they-can pay divi- dends of 12 per cent? ‘The wonder is that the dividend is not larger. Let the Dis- trict Commissioners bear titis in mind when next the subject of cheaper gas is broached. FT. C a Sunday at Deer Park and Oakland. During the summer season the B. and O. R. R.

The last day of the summer months finds the local wholesale produce market in that active condition which has generally char- acterized it this season. During the past week there have been few material changes ff prices. Butter fs perhaps a fraction lower today in one or two grades, and watermelons are selling at from $8 to $5 per 100 at the wharves, extremely low fig- ures, but, on the other hand, eggs have risen, and poultry also shows an upward tendency. Both are expected to now gradually advance as the weather grows cooler. All other products remain about as quoted last week. Butter is today a little more active than is usual at this time of the year, and there is a good market for fine goods. There is also a demand for medium creameries, as well as for fancy dairies. Although one or two grades are today slightly lower than last week, an advance is rather to be expected than a further decline.

One of the trio was Michael, alias “Biddy,” Doyle, an account of whose alleged buglarious visit to the residence of Mr. N. E. Thompson was printed in yes- terday’s Star. He pleaded not guilty to the charge, and the court heard the proof. Walter Davis, a young colored man, was defendant in another case, and it was charged against him that he entered the house of Louis Chesley with intent to com- mit larceny. When arraigned he pleaded guilty. The third member of the trio was Chas. Grayson, the young colored man who was arrested on a charge of robbing his aunt, Mary Aimarolia, while the Jatter was in jail. In his case counsel waived an exam- ination. ‘The three cases were sent te the grand jury. the bond in each case being fixed at —— Visited Baltimore County.

Business Transacted at the Different Meetings Last Night. Local Union No. 26 of Electrical Work- ers held a meeting last night, with Presi- dent Berger in the chair. The principal business was the installation of five new members, Messrs. Alexander Poivret, Jo- seph R. McClink, A. Johnson, I. J. Swonn and I. Brown. Mr. W. B. Beagle was rein- stated to membership, and an application from Mr. John H. Hoffecker to be admitted to active membership was approved. The secretary read a letter from Mr. A. F. Ten- nille commending some work that had been dcne for him by members of the union.

It is under- stood that the professor denied that he acted in bad faith. The plasterers will have arother meeting tomorrow, when they will, it is expected, formulate a reply to Pro- fessor Fanciulll In conversation yesterday with a com- mittee from the plate printers, Professor Fanciulli expressed his entire willingness to play in the parade if it can start half an hour earlier than is now intended. which wousd give the band time to take the 11:30 train for Philadelphia.
