Three shops, which are among the most impor- tant of the Consolidated system, were run en short time last winter, but in sp: went on full time and ran so until August Smce then they have been running forty hours a week. Since June, 1893, the shops Keve not ruh more than two-thirds time. About 500 hands are employed, and much of the labor is highly skilled. The L. Candee Company of New Haven, manufacturers of rubber footwear, have resumed operations in their big plant, after an idleness of about two months. The Riverside steel works at Benwood, W.

Fifteen to eightesn hundred men went io an old r. dent, “that in the early days of the nation ft was contemplated to have the actual Inauguration take place in the cen- ter of the rotunda of the Capitol. This was 1The Great Pension Hall to Be Filled WHEN THE BAND PLAYS TONIGHT a very appropriate idea, for in the early days the space was ample, but the acoustic properties of the rotunda prevented it, for there were then, as now, too much echo and reverberation. Therefore, until the in- auguration of Jackson, in 1820, the Senate (now the Supreme Court room) or House (the present hall of statuary) was the ne of the ceremony. ‘Did you know,” f continued, “that the term inauguration not a popular one years ago? Everybod outside of official circles, spoke of the occasion as ‘the Pres’ dent Yaking his seat,’ and from this e pression many have the idea that the in- auguration consists of the vacation of a veritable chair by one and the seating of another in it. It is astonishing that there are thousands in the country who have such an idea, but when we remember how general has been the expression in the past, it fs not to be wondered that many give a literal meaning to the phrase.’ ————e Interpreters and Inspectors Wanted.

CONCERTS TO FOLLOW When the committee on music was or- ganized 1t was determned that the music furnished at the inaugural ball and at the concerts to be held on the two days fol- lowing should be of a higher character than had ever been given before. Of course, it was not known then who would receive the contract for furnishing either the band or orchestral music, but tt was the feeling of every member of the com- mittee that #n invitation should be ex- tended to the mest prominent band and orchestral leaders throughout the country to sutmit proposals. This was done, and the number of offers received was probably greater than any that former committees of this character had been called upon to consider. It is a noticeable fact also in connection with this inauguration that leaders who have heretofore held aloof from submitting proposals on occasions of this kind not only offered bids, but seemed Victor Herbert: educated mostly in Germany, where his musical temperatment was molded under the developing influences of the Wagner cra. He prformed, studied and conducted in the famous orchestras of Stuttgart, Vienna and Paris. As a performer on his chesen instrument. the violoncello, he is almost without an equal, and he is at the head of the ‘cello department in the Na- tionad Conservatory of Music. As a com- poser Mr. Herbert has received great concertos and repertoire music for band a ious t> secure the contract.

Under his di- rection there is a vast difference in the per- formances of Gilmore's Band now and heretofore. His conception of what such an: organization should be has made of it not cnly a military band of the period, but a distinctive concert hand, which for tone, color, grasp, skill and technique in fis playing, rivals the great orchestras. Mr. Herbert is highly endowed with pei sonal magnetism and musical enthusiasm. fusic at the Ball. The music, which will be furnished by Will A, Haley’s Orchestra and Victor Her- bert’s Band, at the inaugural ball tonight will be more elaborate, better selected, and more pleasing to music-lovers than any music that. has been played at a similar event in past years. The promenade part of the musical program will begin promptly at 9 o'clock, although it Is not expected that the fashionable holders of tickets will begin to put in an appearance much be- fore 10 o'clock, and some even as late as midnight. The program for this part of the ball is as follows: Overture—“Tannha feeling that the United States Marine Rand ought to have at least the band porticn of the work.

The committee decided that there should be a greater number of musicians, both for band and orchestra, than ever before, fixing the former at sixty-five and the latter at one hundred and twenty-five. This action of the subcommittee was ratified by the full committee on music, and was subsequently approved by the ex- ecutive committee, and the contracts were duly awarded. As to Mr. Herbert's abiiity to perform his portion of the work ther was no doubt, because his band has a rep- utation perhaps unsurp: unless ft may be by the organization of Mr. John Promenade numbers’ are interspersed throughout ‘the program with the dances, and selections show the skill and taste in- cluded In ‘its make-up.

Inasmuch as a arge proportion of his musicians come from this city, there has been more active interest felt in the progress of his orches- tra, although it will appear but once dur- ing the inaugural festivities, than has been felt in regard to Mr. Herbert ‘ork. M Haley at once commenced the selection of his force, utilizing the best musicians in Washington, and engaging fvom the Ma- rine Band as many of their skilled musi- cians as he could employ. Rehearsals have been going on each week for the past month, and at the final rehearsal, given in the pension office yesterday, attended noi only by the full music committee, but by a large representation of the executive com- mittee, the opinion was unanimous that tonight the people who attend the inaug- uration ball will lsten to the finest dance music ever played on such an occasion, Mr. William A. Haley. Mr. William A. Haley, the leader of the orchestra which will furnish all the dance music for the inauguration ball, is a prod- uct of the national capital, having been born in this city in 1857. His predeliction for music was manifested at an early age, and in 1865 he enlisted as an apprentice in the United States marine corps and was assigned to the band, where his first work was as a fifer. He was also a general utility boy, and carried the music and at limes beat the triangle. It is rather a sin- gular fact that John Philip Sousa, who is, perhaps, the greatest band leader that this country has produced, and Mr. Haley were companion apprentices in the Marine Band at that time, Sousa beating the cymbals when the band was split into sections. As they developed in musical power Sousa learned the violin and Mr. Haley the flute and piccolo, the latter becoming piccolo soloist of the Marine Band under the lead- ership of Scala. In 1877 both Mr. Sousa and Mr. Haley left the band and started out on their own careers. Mr. Heley went to Philade!phia and became connected with the Germania Orchestra, under Carl Centz, as flute and piccolo soloist. Mr. Sousa went into the Hassler Orchestra, playing second violin, although shortly afterward Mr. Sousa as- sumed the leadership of the orchestra of the Philadelphia Church Choir Pinafore Company, and his career since then {s well known. While Mr. Haley was in Phila- delphia, although he gained a. reputation as a flute and piccolo soloist, he studied erchestration with the idea of one day be- coming a leader himself. In 1882 he com- menced traveling with musical organiza- tions and was on the road for five years, returning to his native city in 1887 and ac- cepting the position as flute and piccolo sosolist in the National Theater Orchestra. In October, 1895, he organized the Wash- ington Military Concert Band, gathering about him the best musicians in the city, a@ large proportion of whom had been for- merly members of the Marine Band. This organization was a success from the start. A series of concerts were given during its first year, every one of which was both a financial and an artistic success. The pres- ent season concerts have been given at the New National Theater, and the success of last year has been duplicated. The band has improved, of course, in its work and has received accessions to its num- ber, so that now it can compare favorably with any clyilian organization of its char- acter, and is the first civilian band in this District that has ever met with such con- tinued success. Nearly all the members of his band play other instruments, and so he has in that organization the nucleus of a splendid orchestra. It was this nucleus that enabled him to successfully compete for furnishing the orchestral music for the inauguration ball, and he confidently asserts that the 125 men which will com- pose his orchestra tonight will present bet- ter music for the purpose for which it is intended than has ever been given at an inauguration ball. Mr. Haley is. also a composer, and-has written-several marches that have won favor. Im his atyle of con-: ducting he very much resembles Mr. John Philip Sousa, with whom he is upon the warmest personal terms, and for whom he naturally has the greatest admiration.

There will be a feature at the concerts which are to follow the inauguration which have never before been introduced, but which, it is believed, will at once find favor and will become an essential part of any concerts that shall take place on occasions of this kind hereafter. This is a chorus of five hundred voices, which has been care- fully drilled by Mr. Percy S. Foster, who was selected by the music committee for that purpose, and whose ability as a chorus conductor is well known. This chorus will be heard in several selections at the con- cert on Saturday night. In selecting the voices for the chorus Mr. Foster has been careful to choose only those that were of good quality and whose possessors had the musical knowledge to read promptly. The trouble has been not in securing the num- ber required, but in selecting the proper persons to form the chorus. The rehearsals that have been had indicate that the per- formance of the chorus will be of a high order and that its work will create decided enthusiasm. Mr. Percy S. Foster. Mr. Percy 8. Foster, who conducts the grand inaugural chorus, is a Virginian by birth; received his musical education in Baltimore and came to this city in 1888 He is highly esteemed, and has devoted his life to music. He was musical director and organist in the Seventh Baptist Church in Baltimore for five years. Upon coming to Washington he became precentor in the First Baptist Church of this city, and af- terward its organist and choir director. Mr. Foster was the musical director at the Christian Endeavor convention at the Metropolitan Opera House, New York, in 1892, participated in the Montreal Christian Endeavor convention in 1893, was musical director at the Cleveland convention in 1904, the Boston convention in 1895 and the Washington convention of 1896. It was in the organization and manage- ment of the ‘Moody Choir” of this city, however, that Mr. Foster became so great a part in the vocal music of the capital city. When it was decided to introduce vo- cal music asa feature of the inaugural concerts, because of his success in former choruses Mr. Foster was unanimously se- lected by the music committee to undertake this work. There werevassotiated with Mr. Foster as a special chorus’ committee Dr. Frank T. Howe, Josef Kaspar, Henry Xan- der and Melville Hensey. \ A special committee=has‘also been ap- pointed by Chairman Gharity of the music committee to see that the specifications of the contracts are complied with by -both Mr. Herbert and Mr. Haley, and this com- mittee will attend the balld@nd all the con- certs with critical intents It consists of Dr. Frank T.
