PROCESSION OF THE ARAB PATROLS A Feasible Suggestion as to a _Method of Procedure. Great Night Turnout of Thousands of Nobles. a THE PRESIDENT’S RECEPTION POTOMAC WATERSHED ——— Three weeks from today the Imperial Council of the Ancient Arable Order Nobles of the Mystic Shrine will convene in annual session at the Columbia Theater. Thousands of nobles belonging to the. eighty-one tem- ples of the order In the United States and Canada will visit Washington at the same time to enjoy fraternal exchanges and par- ticlpate in the great parade which is such an important feature of these annual gath- erings. Thousands more, who are not af- filiated with the order will also come, drawn by the novel entertainment afforded by the Shriners, the beauty of the national eapital, which ts at its perfection in May, and the unusually low rates offered by the railroads from all points, The headquarters of the Imperial Council, which consists of the imperial potentate and other officers and the representatives of each temple, will be at the Riggs House, and these functionaries will be escorted thence to the Columbia Theater on the morning of Tuesday, May 22, by one of the most unique processions imaginable. The carriages containing the council will be preceded and accompanied by a body of Arab patrols, Including those belonging to the various temples included in the order, who will be attired in the fanciful and pic- turesque garb of the denizens of the desert. A large number of them will be mounted on steeds such as the Arabs are accus- tomed to use, and it would not be surpris- ing to see the likeness carried out by the presence of camels. The grand marshal, Capt. Allison Nailor, jr., will be mounted and have a staff of mounted aids, who will, however, wear civilian c'othes. Formation and Line of March. This parade will form st K and ii7th streets at 9 o'clock a.m., and move by way of 17th street, Connecticut avenue and Jackson place to Pennsylvania avenue. Passing through the White House grounds, it will be reviewed by President McKinley, who is himself a Mason and a Knight Tem- plar, and will then continue the march by the avenue to 15th street and to the avenue again. It will march down that thorough- fare on the south side to the Peace monu- ment and return on the north side to 10th street. The escort will form open Mnes on 10th street, from the avenue to F street, through which the carriages containing the council will pass and proceed up F street to the Columbia Theater. The procession of Arabs will then move up F street to 15th street, where it will be reviewed by the grand marshal and be disbanded. Brilliant Spectacle nt Night. The parade of the great body of nobles will take place the night of May 22. It is expected that 10,000 or 12,000 Shriners, fez topped and evening-dressed, will partici- pate. Mr. Nailor will also be the grand marshal of this event. The parade will form on K street, with the right resting on 15th, at 7 o'clock sharp, and will move at 7:15 o'clock down 15th street to F street, thence to 9th street, thence to E street. It will turn down 6th street to Louisiana ave- nue and by that and Indiana avenues march td 34 street, and thence move to Pennsylvania avenue, reaching there at 8 o'clock. Simultaneously with its moving up the latter thoroughfare the illumination will commence, and it promises to be the most brilliant and artistic in the history of the capital. The parade will proceed up the avenue to 17th street, passing in re- view of the Imperial Council, the members of which will occupy a stand to be erected at Lafayette Square. The procession will be dismissed at 17th street. From 9 to 10 o'clock a magnificent display of fireworks will be given. The int prob- ably to be used for this interesting feature 1s the site of the old power house, and will be if the permission of the Capital Trac- tion Company can be secured. Banquet to Imperial Council. The banquet to the imperial potentate and the officers and representatives com- posing the Imperial Council will take place at the Riggs House at 10 o'clock, imme- diately upon the close of the fireworks ex- hibition. In addition to the council, the guests of honor will be: Mr. John W. Ross, Commissioner of the District of Columbia; Mr. George B. Cortelyou, secretary to the President of the United States; Col. Theo- dore A. Bingham, superintendent of public buildings and grounds; Major Richard Syl- vester, superintendent of the metropolitan police, and Messrs. William A. Henderson and William Barnum, grand master and grand high priest, respectively, of Masons of the District of Columbia. Card Reception by the President. The Imperial Council will continue its sessions on Wednesday, May 23, and at night a card reception to the visiting nobles and their ladies will be tendered at the White House by President and Mrs. Mc- Kinley. Secretary George H. Walker of the execu- tive committee of Almas Temple, which has the arrangements in charge, has sent out an announcement that reception cards of invitation will be Issued by the President in the name of the noble and lady invited, which will naturally be cherished as inter- esting souvenirs of the occasion. In order to have the President's wishes in this respect fulfilled Mr. Walker desires that those having charge of expected vis- itors should forward to him the names and addresses of all who are coming to Wash- ington as guests of Almas Temple. Not only should the home address be given in each Case, but the name of the hotel or other place In Washington where the per- son or persons will stop »~ that if the cards are not prepared in » for mailing to the home address they be delivered after the arrival of the 1 = Washing- ton. The same lists will b. in the dis- tribution of the souvenir _dges, which will be the er sesame for the lucky wearers to all the numerous entertain- ments, excursions and other attractions provided for the nobility. Mr. Walker earnestly desires that all names and ad- dresses should reach him not later thi “The admirable fight The Star has made for pure and clear water for Washington is bound to be witimately crowned with success,” said M. M. Stewart of -Philadel- phia, at the Arlington, “‘and the people of the capital may be encouraged by the result of the agitation which has gone on in my city almost from time immomorial to bring about a like change in the condition of thi water supply. : “Such reforms as these,are occomplished only after years of determined and persist- ent hammering and unrelentless agitation of the subject. The foul and unhealthy water supply of Philadelphia is a matter of national knowledge and disgrace. For years the press and the people of our city begged, implored, entreated, supplicated, threaten- ed, petitioned, prayed, swore and wept for the simple privilege of drinking a glass of water which was uncontaminated and rea- sonably pure and healthy. Strangers were advised when they visited Philadelphia to drink something stronger than the Schuyl- Kill fluid, or to permit their thirst to go unquenched. The Reform Finally Accomplished “The city authorities, however, made but spasmodic efforts to meet popular demand. The deaths from typhoid fever and other diseases continued to swell the monthly mortuary reports with unpleasant regular- ity. The water became fouler and more in- sipld and repulsive to the taste each year. Tho sewers emptied their filth and disease- breeding contents above the dams into 4 source of supply already contaminated from @ watershed in which cities, towns and factories are situated by the hundreds. In a word, the water supply of Philadelphia became too vile and unhealthy to be tol- erated. “The worm has finally turned, just as it will right here in Washington when the time is ripe for that non-vertebrate crea- ture to lift its head and cause its would- be destroyers to fice in confusion. The ‘pressure’ became too strong, and with the sum of $12,000,000, which is to be spent in giving us a renovated and to be hoped pure water supply, we trust that it will not be necessary for us much longer to offer apologies for our drinking water. Continned Agitation Necessary. “Washington, however, will never realize the fulfillment of {ts dream by supine meth- ods. It ts a peculiarly situated city from a Political aspect, inasmuch as no ‘pressure’ may be brought to bear upon Congress to make the necessary appropriation save by popular sentiment and irresistible public de- mand. Politicians are proverbially indiffer- ent to such influences unless they are of such a powerful and overwhelming nature that they cannot be gainsaid. The fact that the people of the District cannot re- buke at the polls recalcitrant members who are indifferent to patent and urgent needs is one reason why they are compelled to bear the infliction of the muddy compound of Virginia and Maryland soil and surface drainings as was endured this winter. It amounts to much whether a people may appear before their governing body and legislative authority as petitioners or as voting sovereigns, Concerted Aetion Suggested. “I visit Washington frequently, and year after year I anrgreeted with the same com- plaint as to the muddiness of the water. I recall one season when it was stated that this condition prevailed for a period of nine months, a great deal of rain having fallen that winter. “I have also observed that The Star in champtoning the cause has not been sup- ported by a concert of action on the part of elther a temporary or a permanent organ- ization to bring about the desired reform. It would seem to me that a committes should be constituted whose avowed pur- pose it 1s to bring about such a condition that our persistency of agitation accom- plished in Philadelphia. “If the Washington board of trade feels that such a question {s not one which prop- erly comes within its scope—though I can conceive of no equitable reason why it should not—a special committee of prom!- nent citizens ought to be organized which would leave no legal or ordinary step un- taken to bring the matter to a focus, and to secure the ultimate wherewlth to give the capital of the nation water which will sparkle in December as in July. Effect of Organized Action. “Politicians become statesmen through tho organizations of thelr respective parties, and it is organized unions in the ranks of labor which have accomplished so much for he workingman. What is everybody's bue- iness 1s nobody's business. Hverybody in this city demands a change in the water system, yet none save The Star appears to be giving a voice and agitation to that spe- cific result. The people of Philadelphia be- came finally exasperated and their demands were heeded. The populace of Washington has not yet reached that stage, but it could be promoted by_a determined and an or- ganized effort. The details of action are of minor importance once the wheels are set in motion to exert the pressure which will accomplish the reform. What is Done in Other Cities. “New York leads the cities of this coun- try in its lavishness of expenditure of money on its splendid water suply. It seems but a year or two ago that untold millions were expended upon a new aqueduct, and now the city is 2xpending millions more in increasing the supply. Croton water is es- teemed the best. It is said that ship cap- tains declare that {t will keep longer than the water taken in other ports. The Cro- ton was os Bee been pencacauy all con: demned at fabulous cost, that it may free grom possible contamination. Buildings on side hills sloping toward the Croton river or its tributaries a mile away were con- demned.

Cultivate a Sweet Voice. From the New York Telegram, Kind hearts are more plenfiful than per- sistently kind and gentle voices, and yet love loses much of its power when the voice is sharp and hard. Try, therefore, most earnestly to acquire the right tone In speaking, and guard your- self carefully from falling into careless and bad habits of voice. Often a sharp voice shows far more ill- will than the heart feels, but people do not know that the speaker’s “bark is worse than her bite,” and they believe her to be ill-tempered and disagreeable. It is so easy to pick up a sharp and snap- pish manner of speaking. Very often it is acquired in mirth, and in the give and take battles of words in which boys and girls There is no malice in their sallies, and a great deal of fun, but meanwhile the voice is often acquiring a sharp and shrew- ish tone which sticks through life, making it stir up strife and ill-will among its listen- ers.

A kind voice is like music in the home, and is to the heart what light and beauty are to the eye. ——+es—_____ Troubles of the Republicans in - Hlinois, THE TANNER-COLLOM FIGHT United States Senatorship Involved in Nomination for Governor. CONVENTION POSTPONED —_+—__—_ Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. CHICAGO, May 5, 1900. Illinois republicans are in a bad snarl. The trouble is all their own fault. The only question of concern outside the state is how far the family row may endanger the pros- pect of the national ticket and on governor and the legislature, which is to choose the successor to Senator Cullom. The factions, though bitter, are no further apart than Is usual in a struggle of this kind, and none of them can afford to take a pulfback stand in the campaign. The future of several po- litical leaders is at stake. Nominally, the contest is between Gov. John R. Tanner's state administration and the followers of Senator Cullom. However, there are so many side Issues thas this line cannot be clearly drawn. For instance, sev- eral of the representatives In Congress who are hostile to Tanner and want his ma- ckine broken, are indifferent and even quiet- ly antagonistic to Cullom. They want a chance to go to the Senate themselves. They destroy their chance if they throw their influence for the senator against the governor. Their opportunity would come if the two rivals went down together. Hence, Messrs. Cannon, Hopkins, Hitt, and one or two other members who look upon them- selves as dark horses are holding to their attitude of benevolent neutrality and giving close attention to their congressional dis- tricts. They may have a little sympathy for Senator Cullom when they meet him in Washington, but tt goes no further. The State Convention. The republican state convention will meet at Peorla on May 8 and 9. It will name the candidates for governor and other state offices, and the delegates-at-large to the national convention. If Senator Cullom can muster strength enough It will also indorse him for re-election to the Senate. If the votes are lacking no mention will be made of this subject, and the senator's friends will seek to steer their course so that his = before the legislature will not be urt. The convention will be composed of 1,567 delegates, and will be as nearly a mass con- vention of the republicans of Illinois as can be gathered together. The issue which was to be fought out be- tween Cullom and Tanner may be shifted a little. Months back, when it was thought the governor might have full control of the convention, the purpose was to ‘‘make an end” of Cullom. The Tanner-Cullom feud was Hkely to become a vendetta. It was, like all feuds between old friends and allies, excessively bitter. Tanner, when mining his way as a political leader in southern Illi. nols, originally had belonged to the anti- Cullom faction, but after a me he became the senator's chief lieutenant. Then he branched out and by a combination with the Chicago politicians got the nomination for governor without Cullom’s aid. After his election it was charged that Governor Tanner was working to succeed Cullom in the Senate, and this is not im- probable. The senator was warned that if Tanner became governor a second time he would use the place as a stepping stone for the senatorship. No one could appreciate the temptation to utilize the governor's office to further senatorial ambition more than Senator Cullom. The people of Ilinols saw the temptation, and when they framed their Present state constitution they put in a clause which aimed to make the governor of the state ineligible for the United States Senate during his term of office. But the United States Senate would not be bound by state constitutions in judging the quali- fications of its members, and when Gov- ernor Cullom became Senator Cullom its doors were swung wide open for him. ‘That was sixteen or seventeen years ago, but the senator had not forgotten his own yielding to temptation when the talk of Governor Tanner's senatorial ambition be- gan to be bruited abroad. Nevertheless, the senator and his supporters always have de- clared that they never sought to put a hindrance in the way of the governor's re- nomination, and that they were willing to take the chances of the senator’s re-election. Their program was simply Cullom for sen- ator again and Tanner for governor again. They said that the senator could not be asked to come out openly and support any candidate for governor, though a mutual understanding might be reached which would be advantageous to both without in- terfering with the other Illinois republicans who wanted to get before the people as candidates for governor with a view to the future. Gov. Tanner's Attack. One day Governor Tanner came out with a savage personal attack on Senator Cul- lom, reviewing his whole public life, espe- clally the period during which they had been associated so closely in political part- nership. Then everybody knew that the war was on to the finish. The state admin- istration scored some points in the begin- ning, and then Cullom began to make head- way in some counties either in having del- egates to the state convention instructed for his indorsement for re-election as sena- tor or in securing the nominees for the legislature. The contest has continued with varying fortunes for the last three months. When Governor Tanner made his personal attack on Cullom he caused it to be known that he would not be a candidate for re- nomination. This gave the opening for other candidates to declare themselves. Among them were Walter Reeves of Streat- or, who is serving bis second term in Con- gress, and Richard Yates of Jacksonville, a son of the war governor of Illinois. They made personal canvasses, claiming to be free from entanglements with either the ‘Tanner or the Cullom factions. Neverthe- less, it soon became apparent that the Tan- ner state administration was hostile to Reeves, and was bent on defeating him. The candidacy of Yates was not taken very seriously. Cook county, which is, to say, Chicago and a few outlying towns that have not merged their separate corporate existence into that of the big city, has more than one-third of the delegates to the state Con- vention. With this large vote united, it is not difficult to combine with county dele- gates and make a slate which will be sure of commanding a majority in the conven- tion. Divided, the outcome is in doubt. Chicago was bound to have a candidate for governor. In due time it wa’ an- noun that “the organization,” Which meant the machine leaders, had picked out their man, who would have the support of Chicago. He was Hibridge G.

Of itself this might not have produced much effect, and the republicans who were anxious to break the machine slate would have been compelled to wait until the No- vember election to make their protests ef- fective. But when experienced and re- sourcefyl machine politicians made Carter's cause their own and worked with the re- formers who for years had abused them a new situation was created. The fight was a bitter one, but at the primaries the other day Judge Carter suc- ceeded in getting nearly 240 out of the 560 delegates, Hanecy had a little over 300 and the remainder were chosen without pledges, but under the control of leaders who in most instances would “do business” with the Lorimer-Jamison faction, or rather with the Tanner state administration, But the showing was startling for the Hanecy managers. Starting out with the promise of a solid Chicago delegation for Hanecy, they had shaded their claims by admitting the possibility of some scattering votes in opposition, ahd finally had come down to 400 Hanecy delegates as their bedrock claims. The politicians were all agreed thet unless he could gb into the convention with 400 home supporters Hanecy would not be able to command a majority, The republican primaries showed clearly that he tailed to secure ar lke that number. The gap could only be closed by manipuia- tion and by persuading Carter delegates to betray their pledges. The Convention Postponed. ‘The first move was to postpone the repub- lean county convention till after the state convention. Representative Lorimer had Geclarod before the primaries were held that the fight was for his politi exist- ence. This was hardly true.

PEPPER. ae \ ENGLISH FASHION PLATES, The American Production Are Mach More Artistic in Drawing. “We have just received the latest fashion plates of the styles of men’s clothes in London,” sald a fashionable Washington tailor, “and I am struck by the marked improvement in their drawing and general appearance. “Discriminating American men of fash- fon must have been impressed by the su- Periority of the American plates over those of the English, being visibly so in drawing, coloring, posing and get-up. “Our plates are finely lithographed on heavy paper. The figures are sketched with artistic feeling, and the patterns of goods they show are drawn with skill accuracy. Men of various ages and de- grees of corpulency are shown, each at- tired in the style which is supposed most to become the men in real life they repre- sent. All of the plates have backgrounds picturesquely drawn. Here is one showing the steps of the Capito!, another Wall street, New York, with Trinity Church in the distance, and another with several gen- tiemen who are supposed to be descending the steps of the Waldorf-Astoria. The: backgrounds make the figures appear more artistic and set them off. “In gome of our plates the features of the figures are those of men prominent in public life. Here is one showing the Presi- dent attired in a frock coat for afternoon wear, with trousers of a neat, small stripe, and wearing a silk hat, which is in fact his regular costume at this hour of the day. Another shows Senator Chauncey Depew with a four-button cutaway. Here is one with the well-known features and eye- Slasses of Gov. Roosevelt attired in a hunt- ing costume. “These figures are appropriate and in good taste, as they illustrate merely the styles gentlemen of fashion are to wear. Most of the faces in the plates are ideal, however. Tt will be noticed that the figures in our plates are prema Gl eager and do not ap- pear stiff, though their necessarily stand- ing attitude would have a tendency to make them 60. “Now, observe the English plate.
