and will be rendered during the early even
ing at the Capitol.
Committee on Music.
or course it was at the very outset de-
termined that without music the celebra-
ton would be a rather dull affair after all.
50 1t was at once decided that there should
be a committee on music composed Of the
following gentlemen: William A. Gordon,
chairman; Dr. Frank T. Howe chairman
subcommittee on chorus; Ralph L. Calf,
chairman subcommittee on band; A. B.

that a parade should be one Of the great
features of the centen hal celebration of
that event Therefore 1T became necesss ry
that a committee composed of men Of wide
experience should be appointed to have
charge of this matter. Hence The follow
ing were selected as this most important
committee: Gen. Ellis Spear chairman
Charles w. Darr, vice chairman; Robert
Ball, Capt. Harrison barbour, Robert Boyd,
Lieut.. Col. Harry Coggin, Capt. C. S.
Domer, ;. h. Faunce, daniel Frazier, Geo.
Gibson, Col. c. Haywood, L. ). NJ. c.; Capt.
Jos. y. Manson, Capt John $. Miller, Capt.
Allison Nailor. John J. Peabody.
The wisdom of their selection Is most ap-
parent now that the matter Of n great and
interesting parade of civic and military
bodies has been secured.
Committee on Illumination.
The grandeur Of the Capitol 1t was de-
termined, should be made as apparent by
night as it has always been by day, and
therefore the general committee decided
that a subcommittee on illumina tions
should be appointed, in whose hands should
be placed the illumination of the Capitol
building and all matters pertaining to illu-
mination and fireworks. This committee
was named as follows: Fred. A. Lehman,
chairman; William F. Hart, vice chairma
A. w. Hart, secretary; A. b. Claxton,
chairman subcommittee on fireworks; Gus
tav Kissing, Albert Bright, Edw. Clark.

small sum, committee on finance be-
came necessary. AS the chairman Of THAI
committee should be a man of wide and
valuable experience in such matters was
best demonstrated by the selection Of Mr..
John Joy Edison for that most important
position. Mr.. Edison accepted his appoint
ment with full understanding, Of the
great duties devolving upon him. Yet, con-
fronted with the disadvantages Of a period
OF unusual financial uncertainty, he set
about his work with all his well known
enthusiasm and energy. The appointment
Of his associates on the committee was left
with him, and the result of the efforts of
the committee has fully demonstrated the
wisdom Of their selection
Mr.. Frank P. Reside was made secre-
tary Of the committee, the remainder of the
committee being as follows: John T. Arms,
