All the arrangements have been completed for the inaugural demonstration in Wash- ington of the presidential campaign, which wiil be made tonight by the McKinley and Hobart Interstate Campaign Club. There will be a parade, headed by the uniformed members of the marching club of the or- ganization, who will carry torches, and it 4s expected there will be many in the line. ‘The procession will form at the Peace monu- ment, and, moving at 7:45, will proceed up Pennsylvania avenue to 15th street, and thence to the Hotel Normandie, where a Serenade will be tendered to Mr. Myron M. Parker, the District member of the national republican committee. President John C. Chaney will deliver a which will be responded to by and there Will be speeches other well-known re- cans. > Union Republican Ciub decided at a special meeting last night to attend the re- ception individually, but declined to march fn a body with the McKinley and Hobart Club, because the latter's secretary, Geo. 8. Emery, had been accused of mismanaging the affairs of the Union Club when officially connected with it, some time ago. A com- mittee of five was appointed to confer with & similar committee of the National Repub- Hican Club, with a view to consolidating the two organization: = Colored Republican Protective Com- mittees.

To the Fditor of The Evening Star: Another human being mangled to death under a car calls attention to the fact that the “wheel guard,” or “second fender,” @s you call it, used on all but the Great Falls road in the District, is almost as un- certain as the wind. A friend has just told me that he saw a conductor and motor- man both try to make the wheel guard work on a car of the Metropolitan road, and they could not. This is a sure con- trivance for death's work, as several have Deen killed thereby.

EVENING STAR, SATURDAY, AUGUST 15, 1896-TWENTY-FOUR. PAGES, INTERSTATE BEMOCRATS. - Prisident Hosford pias Others Make Them Hopeful end Happy. There was a large and enthustastic at- tendance of democrats at the Interstate Democratic Association Club house on New York avenue last night, and President Frank Hosford, who accompanied Mr. Bryan on his jourrey from Nebraska to New York, was given a big welcome. He made a characteristic speech, which was recetved with great satisfaction by his auditors, declaring that Bryan would re- ceive so many electoral votes there would be no necessity for the electoral college to Meet to count them. Mr. Richard R. Beale, the lawyer,aroused renewed enthusiasm by prophesying that Meryland would give a democratic ma- jority, and Vice President Gall stirred up still more by assuring the gathering that West Virginia would do the same thing. After the speechmaking, which was closed by a second address -by Mr. Hos- ford, the members and their guests spent several hours in social enjoyment. —_ EXCURSIONS. No other place within many miles of Washington is so universally popular as Marshall Hall, especially on Sunday. Whether the morning or afternoon boat is taken, and the greater part of Sunday spent under the great, spreading trees at the Hall, or only the evening sail is en- jJoyed, the outing is thoroughly delightful. In addition to the many amusements, the hydrocycle, or water bicycle, is destined to become a popular favorite. Wheelmen will find it intensely fascinating to take a spin on the water, while the antics of the novice furnish no end of amusement to spectators. The sacred concerts given by Prof. Schroe- der’s Band are always enjoyed by the many who throng the lawn. Steamer Macalester leaves at ft a.m., and 6:30 p.m. Re- all Hall on the last Monday evening the Brotherhood of Lo- comotive Firemen give their annual excur- sion to Marshall Hall in the steamer Mac- alester. The great success which has at- tendcd all previous entertainments given by this organization is but a forerunner of What may be expected on Monday night. With the cool river breezes and the many new amusements at Marshall Hall, this ex- cursion will be long remembered by all who are fortunate enough to take the trip. One very great advantage of the delightful outings afforded by the trip to Fortress Monroe on the Norfolk and Washington Steamboat Company's steamers is that one is assured a most refreshing night's sleep. All the inconveniences of ordinary travel are overcome and, in the roomy state rooms of these magnificent steamers, rocked by the motion of the boat and fanned by the cool river breezes, one can enjoy sleep as it was never enjoyed before. Of conrse a lengthy stay at the Fort, Ocean View or Virginia Beach ts to be desired, yet a short visit fs of inestimable value, for there the bathing, fishing and maritime views are the finest on the Atlantic coast. Leaving here any evening at 7 o'clock, these resorts are reached next morning, where the day can be spent and the steamer taken for home the same even- Ing, thus having two nights and one day on the water. Fer a Sunday outing it is the ™ost enjoyable of all short trips. Those who make the trip to Colonial Beach on the steamer Jane Moseley will make no mistake in choosing that craft and that resort for a day’s outing. The Moseley is one of the most comfortable boats on the river and is ideally fitted up for an all day’s excursion. Colonial Beach fs better this year than ever before. New attractions have been added, better bath- ing facilities placed at the command of excursionists and everything put in first- class order. For an all-day trip Colonial Beach presents some strong advantages, while the Moseley is the means in which to reach that resort. ¥ The feat of Mlle. Grace and her in- structor, Prof. Smith, in going down the chute at River View has proved to be such a success that Capt. Randall has en- gaged the pair to perform at that resort tomorrow. Two descents will be made, one in the afternoon and one at night, and the steamer Pentz wiil make her regular Sunday trips. The pair will be seen at River View this evening, when both will make the descent. The feat last evening was witnessed by over a thousand per- sons, who were unanimous in their appre- ciation of the nerve and daring of the pair. This evening the steamer Arrowsmith will leave at 6 o'clock for a special trip to Piney Point and the hotel located at that resort. The round-trip fare, including transportation to and from the Point, meals and room at the hotel, is fixed at $2.50, and the return trip is made in time to allow passengers to catch the cable cars in this city Sunday evening. The steamer Sue will make her regular trip this evening at 5 o'clock for points on the Potomac river and Chesapeake. This is a delightful trip to salt water, and the return is made in excellent season Sunday evening. By taking the Sue and arriving at Piney Point at 12 o'clock Sat- vrday night and returning to Washing- ton Sunday evening the expense of state rooms is dispensed with. The George Leary will go to Norfolk, Fortress Monroe and Old Point Comfort this evening at 6:30 o'clock, the trip being made under the auspices of the Depart- mental Club of this city. A number of the ships of the United States navy will be stationed in Hampton Roads, and the Leary will sail close enough to give all an excellent view of Uncle Sam’s defend- ers. The return will be Monday morning at 7 o'clock. Cycle Cottage will be open as usual to- morrow for the reception of bicyclists, as well as drivirg parties, and those who stop at this place will find the very best of ac- commodations and service. Cycle Cottage Is an {deal place in which to spend a warm afterioon: shady spots are numerous, and chairs scattered over the grounds under the trees make it a delightful resting place, either for a few minutes or a whole day. Cycle Cottage is open every day in the week, and in the evening an 6rchestra dis- courses excellent music in @ dancing pa- vilion, whose floor is unequaled in that part of the country. Mr. Martin can care for parties, as well as individuals,- and every possible arrangement for comfort and convenience is to be found in this place. The tenth annual tournament and grand dress ball will take place at River View Wednesday next, and about twenty-five knights will enter the lists for cash prizes and the privilege of crowning the Queen of Love and Beauty and her attendants. These tournaments are the event of the season at River View and are always attended by throngs of people, not only from Washing- ton, but all the surrounding country. The regular weekly ball at the Casino will be given this evening under the manage- ment of Mr. Woods, who runs that place of amusement at Colonial Beach. These entertainments are noted for their excel- lence, and a number of Washington people make the trip every Saturday evening in order to be present at the festivities. Tne steamer John Sylvester has reduced the fare to the Beach to just one-half of what used to be the rate, and the patronage has almost doubled. The Sylvester will leave this evening at 6 o'clock for Colonial Beach and tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock for Lower Cedar Point and Colonial Beach, giving passengers a choice of either place anda magnificent sail down one of the prettiest sections of the river. ——.__ Whité pine stock, 12 In. wide, $1.75 100 ft.

Munyon of Munyon’s Homeo- pathic Home Remedy Company. netted $267,000 from his business last year. He at- tributes this quick, widespread success to his advertising. Prof. Munyon hes induced some of the very foremost newspapers of the United States to distribute his remedies from their offices under their sanction. I found him in. his private office, 1505 Arch street, Phil- adelphia, the living picture of Edwin Booth in every aspect. I asked him what he con- sidered the fundamental reason for his great success as an advertiser. “Honesty. We have built our success purely on that basis. Telling the truth, and telling it continually. Telling it,in the best newspapers and telling it in generous space. Druggists, jobbers as well as re- tallers, ydu can see by the various let- ters which we have framed and hung on the wall, tell us they have never handled remedies that sold so rapidly, and they at- tribute this immense sale largely to syste- matic advertising.” “Almost wholly reading notices?” “Yes, we have never spent a dollar out- side of the newspapers, and have clung very closely to the reading matter.” “Do you propose to diminish or increase ‘our newspaper advertising?” Propose to increase it.” ‘You do not think, then, that there is anything that could take the place of news- Paper advertisirg?” NO.” “In using newspapers, is it your custom to do a great deal with the best, or to scat- ter your appropriation among them?” believe in using only the best.” “In picking out newspapers, do you choose those with large circulations first?” “Most invariably.” Where do you count quality?” “The high-grade, exclusive class of papers have never proven valuable to mied- icine advertisers.” “How about pesition? Do you place much. stress on that?" “We advertise very little in papers that do not guarantee positions.” “When you see the actual average cir- culation of a paper given in the directory, do you believe it to be true? “Tt depends on the paper.” “Have you ever refused to advertise in a newspaper or discontinued advertising in a newspaper because it refused to give its erences, actual circulation?” “Very frequently?” cavers “How much, in round numbers, would y@u say newspapers have lost of your ad- vertising by refusing to give actual fig- ures?” “Five per cent.” “Your daily expenditures average how much?” “About $33,000 a month.” “Then you withhold $20,000 of advertising from newspapers because they do not give their actual circulation’ “Yes.” ‘Do you have a rule that you will not ad- vertise in papers that do not give their actual circulation?” “That is an itvariable rule that I have en to my contracting clerk.” When a publisher comes to you, or you go to him, in what form do you demand his circulation statement—actual copies printed, or actual number of copies circu- lated?” “We are governed more by the actual number of papers sol “Do you find publishers willing to let you see their books?” “The leading papers are not only willing ee anxious to have their books exam- ned.”” “Is it necessary for the success of a busi- ness that an advertiser should have confi- dence in a newspaper?” “I regard newspapers as fortune builders for others. No man with a meritorious article who uses a properly written adver- tisement can fail to succced.” —_=+ AMONG THE WORKINGM ah Organizations Preparing for the Labor Day Parade. At the meeting last night of the Prick- layers’ Union the following officers were elected: W. H. Maghan, president; John Welsh, vice president; J. B. Dowell, re- cording secretary; R. J. McMakin, finan- clal secrstary; M. P. Canty, treasurer: Thomas Sullivan, corresponding _ secre- tary; George T. Cassell, janitor: P. J. Bol- land, sergeant-at-arms: Milford Spohn, John Shandley, C. Hessler, W. E. Bresna- han, trustees. Under the new constitution, which was adopted at the last meeting of the union, and approved by the national executive board; the terms of all the ofti- cers was extended to one year, with the exception of those of two of the trustees, who at the first election are chosen for six months. A communication was read from the at- torney of W. W. Winfree, the contractor, against whom is pending the charge of violating the national eight-hour law. The communication in substance. requested the union to officially certify that it was neces- sary to work laborers nine hours to en- able the bricklayers to work eight. The communication was received and the sec- retary was ordered to inform the attorney that the bricklayers’ union was not a court to decide the question of the vioiatidn of the law, and that it would not put itself in the position of a witness for the defen- dant. Treasurer Canty made his quarterly re- port, which showed an excess of $1,000 over expenditures during the last quarter. Joseph Williams was elected as chief marshal of the organization for the Labor* day parade, and Wm. Roach was chosen ag assistant marshal. In compliance with a request from the Building Trades Council a steward was ap- pointed on the construction of the con- ‘sumers’ brewery at Rossiyn, Va., with in- structions to ascergain if any mechanics employed upon the work are not accept- able to the Building Trades Council. The committee on Labor day parade re- ported that it was not possible to secure a band composed wholly of bona fide union men, and the employment of a band for the occasion was left to the discretion of the committes. Engineers’ Union, No. 6678, A. F. of L., held their regular meeting last evening at Electrical Workers’ Hall, No. 508 11th street northwest. The union decided to parade on Labor day and expects to have sixty men ir Ine. “A committee was ap- pointed to confer with Prof. Weber of the National League of Musicians in regard to _a band for the occasion. The quarterly report of the Central La- bor Union was read und referred to the proper committee. Two new members were elected, The Eccentric Engineers met last evening at Bunch’s Hall, and made addi:ional ar- rangements for thir Labor day excursion. —+>_—_ RIGHTS OF INSANE VETERANS. They Have a Right to Scek a Pension in Their Own Name. Judge Reynolds, assistant secretary of the interior, made an important decision yesterday as to the status of insanity un- der the pension laws. He holds that per- sons not judicially declared insane, now confined in an asylum or public institution, may prosecute their persion claims in per- son. If so confined and not judicially de- clared insane, the claim must be prosecut- ed by the claimant’s next friend, guardian or committee; but payment will be made only to the qualified guardian or commit- tee, and power of attorney executed by claimants so barred will not be recognized. This power, executed by the claimant, even though insane, yet not judicially declared so or confined, will be recognized until the claimant, guardian or committee repudiates it, before the completion of the claim. It 1s ruted that bounty land applicants, under the act of March 3, 1855, must show that during the rebellion they were known to be opposed to it and distinctly in favor of its suppression. 2 ——— Moncy to lend at 5 and 6 per cent on real estate.

Steiner Gaiety Opera Company, direct from New York. The opera. selected for the opening is a -grand revival of Oxzibulka’s mast lece, ‘‘Amorita,” as; one panes nights at the New York Casino. 18 organized personally directed ‘by Stten “Steger, 1a a5 follows! Miss Carrie Romé, Magam Alice Gaillard, Mies Violet Sweigert, Miss Florence Handy, Miss Jeannette: Dufford, Miss Winna Rog- ors, Miss Katherine Topp, ad Messrs. Frank Gaillard, John C. Havens, Frank Thropp, Philip Watson, Archte Hughes, Percy Smith, M. L. Alsop, a chorus of forty voices and an orchestra of twenty pieces. Miss Carrie Roma; the soprano who heads the company, has a repertoire of eighty grand and comic operas ‘and arnational reputation as a soloist. Miss Clare Thropp, who is cast for the part of thesyoung Italian An- gelo in “Amorita,” is @ bright, charming, vivacious operatic comedienne, whose clever work with the Whitney Opera Company will be remembered. Madam Gaillard. will play the part of Perpetua. She is an old favorite in Washington, and was last seen here with the Camille D’Arville Company. Miss Florence Handy, who was with the “American Girl” company last season, will introduce a singing specialty in the scene of the slave dance-in “Amorita.”” Miss Winna Rogers and Miss Jeannette Dufford will each do a solo dance in the third act. Mr. Frank David and Mr. Francis Gaillard are cast for the parts of Costrucci and Fra Bom- bordo. They are favorites in Washington and are sure to be appreciated. John C. Havens, formerly with the Bostonians, has an exceptionally strong tenor voice, and his part of Spariconi in “Amorita” will give him ample opportunity to display It to the best advantage. Mr. M. L. Alsop, who has been long identified with Chas. Frohman’s companies, 1s cast for the part.pf the.am- | bassador from Morocco. He is a handsome young actor, and will no doubt win favor here. The stage will be under the manage- ment of Mr. Frank Thropp, and his. long experience-as a stage manager assures smooth performance. The specially se- lected orchestra of twenty musicians will be under the direction of America’s great- est woman director and composer, Miss Emma R. Steiner. The policy of the Grand this season will be.the best attractions ob- tainable, at prices within the reach of all— 5 cents, 50 cents, 25 cents and 15 cents, with a good reserved seat on first floor for 25 cents. The box office opens Thursday, August 20, at 9 a.m. for reservation of seats, Kernan’s Lyceum.—The regular season of Kernan’s Lyceum Theater will be inau- gurated tonight. This model variety the- ater has undergone many changes and im- provements since its doors closed several weeks ago. It has been thoroughly reno- vated and redecorated: a number of new chairs have been placed in the auditorium, and the drapery hangings are all new and exceedingly rich. The opening attraction will be Cyrene’s High-class Vaudevilles, an organization composed solely of European and American celebrities. The company 1s headed by the famous Cyrene in her re- markable performance on the bounding wire. Among other names appearing on the Program are Fields, Salina and Brooks, the Eccentric Trio, in wonderful grotesque acro- baticisms, introducing Mile. Salina, the only lady grotesque artist in the world; the Rob- inson-Baker Trio, in their singing and ath- letic novelty, introducing Mr. R. H. Baker, the champion high jumper of the world, he having recently returned from Athens, Greece, where he participated in the Olym- pic games, winning every event in which he was entered, and adding many new laurels to his already marvelous record; Tanner and Rennat, the character duetists; Miss Josie Barrows, the charming little vocalist; the Petching Brothers, European musical comiques; the Denvers, refined travesty stars; Sheffer and Allen, German and Irish character comedians, and Eugene Niedert, champion fancy and trick bicyclist of the world. The performanee will conclude with the pantomimic musteat comedy, entitled “The Viceroy’s Favorite.” The Bijou Theater.+Manager Whitesell will open the Bijou Theater on the 29th in- stant, newly painted, decorated and refitted, with Dan Sully in his play, “The Million: aire.” This is the first ttme that Mr. Sully has appeared at a popular-priced house, but Mr. Whitesell has determined to present cnly the best attractions. ‘The Millionaire” is one of those plays that will excite critical enthusiasm, and it has many excellencies that other dramas of the present day do not Possess. It is the story of an Irishman who is proud to be an American, and who has a clean, healthy, simple sense of the heroism of labor and the honor of doing his duty. ‘Pha play has an cthical and a literary value. Mr, Sully in this play presents a manly, un< pretentious type of Irishman, in contradis- tinction to the worn-out stage type. And he Piays the personage with a simple sincerity that is very effective and admirable. Robert Downing’s New Play.—Mr. Robert ing’s new play, “In Search of Happi- ss,” was originally written for John Mc- Cullough, but the untimely death of the actor, which occurred a few months after the completion of the play, prevented its production. Mr. Downing ‘considers “In Search of Happiness” the strongest play that has ever been produced upon ‘an: stage for many a year. Strong as the fait! of Mr. Downing may appear, he is sus- tained in his opinion by the declaration of the poet Longfellow, to whom John McCul- lough read the play. The distinguished American poet foretold a most brilliant success for ft, and an undying reputation for the man ‘producing it. Mr. Downing has spared no expense in scenery and com tumes, and an artistic and attractive pro- duction of “In Search of Happiness” will be given. Columbia Musical Parlors.—Since the clos- ing of the Washington theaters for the rest of the summer there hes been a noticeable Increase in the number of persons at the Columbia Phonograph Company's musical parlors. The program for this week has been an_attractive one, many of the selec- tions being entirely new. Among the best ones may be mentioned: “Rastas on Par- ade,” this season’s great success; “I Am Sorry That I Did” and “The Day the Farmer Came to Town,” two great mirth- provokers; the kissing scene from the “Widow Jones,” in which May Irwin and John C. Rice are seen in many osculatory positions; and the three most popular sé- lections from Sousa’s great operatic suc- cess, “El Capitan,” entitled “Rosy Lips,” “Love's Devotion” and “Adieu to Care.” Next week’s program will be prepared with much care, and a host of interesting rec- crds is looked for. ee Special Train Service From Berkeley Springs—Sundays, Commencing August 16 and continuing Sunday evenings during balance of season, for accommodation of Washingtonians, special train service has been established —leaving Berkeley Springs at 7:40, arriv- ing at Washington 11:26 p. dvt. —<—___ Personally Conducted Tours to Nin; ara Falls via Pennsylvania Railroad.
