WILL BE THE UNWILLING OF THE
FARRAGUT STATUE IN WASHING
TON ON THE 18TH. Low RATES
VIA THE b. & o.
The ceremonies attendant upon
the unwilling of the statue of Admir-
al Farragut in Washington on the
25th of this month, promises to be
remarkable for the high character of
the orators and the great brilliancy
of the naval parade. Detachments
of sailors and marines have been Or
dered from every naval station in
the country, and in addition United
States Infantry, Cavalry and Artill-
cry will take part in the parade, the
whole in command Of the Adj
miral of'the Navy. The entire Corps
of Cadets of the Naval Academy
will be in the procession and will
form most interesting feature of
the day. The survivors Of New Or
leans and Mobile will also partici-
pate, as will the military companies
Of Washington, the United States
Signal Corps, the famous Marine
Band and other notable organiza-
tions. The parade will move at
noon and the President, Cabinet and
many distinguished officers of the
Army and Navy will be present at
the unwilling OF the statue, which
ceremony will be followed by an adj
dress by Mr.. Garfield. The B. g. o.
with characteristic enterprise has
arranged for the carrying of large
number of people to Washington on
the day named; the rate for the round
trip has been placed at low figures,
and the price of the tickets from
here and the departure of trains can
be learned by noting the handsome
posters which the company has had
posted throughout this section. The
chances are that the deadlock in the
Senate will continue, and if it doN,
this will be capital opportunity to
take In the parade and the Senate as
we'll, as the tickets will be good for
two (2) days and upon any train
making the stops.
