The committee on railroad rates viii en-
deavor to secure such reasonable rates of
transportation to the city as will insure the
attendance Of a mighty throng of people
from other places. The committee is com
posed of such men as leaves nothing to be
doubted. The chairman is Mr. Thos. ".
Smith, the lumber deale-, whose energy
compels success in whatever he undertakes
Washington as a place of interest will be
doubly so in connection with the coming
celebration, and the committee hopes 70 be
able to make such arrangements with the
different transportation lines as will per-

committee: f. w. Anderson. H L. Biscoe

The committee on decoration OF the
Capitol is one that will probably make as
much of a show of the results of its labors
of which Mr.. s. S. Yoder, the sergeant-at-
arms OF the House, is the efficient chair
man, and he has associated with him in
the work allotted to him to do about a
dozen well-known and active gentlemen.
According to the reports OF the COM
mittee's progress made to a Star reporter
by Mr.. Yoder the plans for the decoration
of the great white building are by no
means completed Vet, nor can they be
for some little time to come. The reason
Of this is that the committee is not sure OF
the amount of money that will be turned
over to them for their use. 1t is their in
tention to make the decoration lust as
elaborate and beautiful as the means at
their disposal will allow. The plans so far
as they have been considered include the
decoration and draping of the east front
and dome of the Capitol with handsome
banners and flags. Flagstafrs are to be
erected about the colonnades, and from

There Is going to be a great parade and

the committee on parade, and as he tackled
the monster Grand Army demonstration

pretty certain that he will be able to get into

numbers to allow not only members of the
various committees to secure them. but
also to put them in the reach. by purchase
of all others who may desire to secure

Committee on Printing.
An important and interesting feature of
the work of preparing for the celebration
will be the publication, under the auspices
of the committee on printing, of a pamphlet
containing history of the Capitol from
the laying of the cornerstone 100 years ago
down to the present day. Accounts of the
event published in the newspapers at the
time will be reproduced in the pamphlet
extracts from Websters address when the
cornerstone Of the extension was laid in
1851 and much other interesting and valua-
bic matter will be found in it A map of
the District, prepared from data furnished
by DR.. J. NJ. Toner of this city, showing
the holdings of the original proprietors Of
land in the District at the time of the es-
tablishment of the seat of government
here, Will be feature of the pamphlet
Chairman A. F. Sperry of the committee
under whose personal supervision the
pamphlet is belng prepared and who is an
old newspaper man, states that the pamph-
let is now in press, and will be issued very
shortly. This pamphlet will, of course
form the most important part of the work
of the committee on printing, although the
committee will have charge of all the print
ing necessary to be done In connection with
the celebration. Mr.. Sperry's fellow COM
mitteemen are Arthur st. c. Denver, Geo
Fl. Harries. David Moore and William II.

Mr.. Henry L. Biscoe.
In anticipation of the large crowd OF
strangers who will undoubtedly visit
Washington it was thought wise by the
general committee to appoint a commit
tee on public order and comfort, and the
following well-known citizens were APP
pointed as such committee: Henry l.. Bis

well known business man and has rem
dered efficient service at the head of i'm
portant public committees. The commit

The committee on Illumination has Charge
of electric lighting, gas Illumination and
fireworks. MIR. F. a. Lehman, chairman of
the committee, is a well known and pro-
gressive citizen of East Washington and TN
der his direction the committee has made
plans and obtained great deal of in foraId-
ton which will enable them to go :.he,id so
soon as they know how much money Will
be at their disposal. Mr.. Lehman gave a
Star reporter some interesting details OF
the work of his committee.
The committee originally intended to IL
Illuminate the Capitol from all four sides by
means of search lights, which were to sud-
denly flood the building with light some
time during the evening, but as search
lights cannot be moved far enough back
