The church was prettily decorated. The

beautiful folds being intertwined and the
colors blended with those OF the banners of

There will be 600 voices in the chorus. Sew
eral fine bands and drum corps will supply
the instrumental features, and the District
militia, with several G. A. r. posts, will rep
resent the war part OF the story. The cantata
was written by Director Innes, of the Thir-
teenth Regiment Band, of New York, and will
be rendered for the first time in Washington
under the auspices of the Typographical
Union, when it will. without doubt, score as
great a success as has marked its production
elsewhere.
The music is descriptive of ante-War scenes,
North and South, and will represent the in
dustries OF both sections. A military camp
scene is among the effects.
The performance will be given at National
ball park, for the reason that more room can
be obtained there for the military display than
can be had in Il theater The park will be
we'll lighted by electricity, and every arrange
ment IS made for the complete success of the
enterprise.

strong men and frail women struggling with
the sole thought of seeing all there was to be
seen, hearing all that there was to be heard,
and otherwise gratifying their absorbing
curiosity. Many Of the arrivals had friends
and relatives who were gathered in the depot
awaiting them, and, after their arrival, kick
ing and struggling and fighting Tor half an
hour before they were able TO reach them and
bid them welcome.
The walks on the New Jersey avenue en-
trance were lined with bowling cabmen,
shrieking hotel porters extolling in stentorian
tones the excellence of their accommodations,
obsequious fakirs with badges of all sorts and
kinds, and last Il perfect madding crowd push
ing and showing as if lives were at stake.
The receiving committees were utterly in
capable of handling the fast-coming thousands
who fiocked from the North, West. and South
and as each train arrived pandemonium
reigned for time, until the station being
partially cleared. another train would add its
tired and smoke-begrimmed load, and stand
pulling and painting as if delighted TO be re-
heved OF its heavy burden.
The first large arrival after o'clock was
the Northern train of nine coaches bearing
the Portland (Me.) lodge, No. 8, and nearly
1000 visitors from New York, Philadelphia,
and Baltimore. They were received and taken
care of by Lieut.. Harper and detachment of
twelve men from Hermione Lodge, No. II,
who performed efficient service during the
night
The greatest surprise that we have had, -
said member of the receiving committee,
'is the large number of ladies who have come
on with each lodge. We had made arrange
ments for what seemed the plausible proper
tion, but their numbers have so greatly ex-
eeeded expectations that we have had hard
time accommodating them. >"
Mr.. Alvey, the general agent of the Balti-
timore and Ohio, said: "The passenger traffic
has exceeded our most sanguine expectations,
and we have unloaded at Washington In the
last twenty-four hours fully ten thousand
passengers. II this continues. tomorrow

A REFoRMER's CHANGE OF HEART.

A curious train of thought is started by the
followi ng statement credited to Frances E.
Willard, the temperance reformer:
at il social conditions which make men
erunknrds. and our organizations too frequently
neglect TO make allowance for thai fact In my
opinion we shall be obliged 10 become the
champions of the trades unions and work with
might and main 10 better the industrial condi-
tisn OF wage-earners before the vice Of drunken
ness can be attacked"
In other words, is a man capable Of suffer-
ing the pangs Of hunger, the humiliation Of
inability to provide for his little ones, the dis
tress OF inadequate shelter, and the depres-
sion Of an environment Of squalor and filth,
10 suffer all this and not seek the cheering in
nuenee Of stimulant? Miss Willard is in
siined 10 believe he is not and TIE TINES
In inclined 10 agree with her.
The Woman's Christian Temperance Union,
OF which Miss Willard has so long been the
honored leader, is noble body OF women. but
lts effectiveness for good would be greatly
sEhanced if it aimed at the root OF the wrongs
Of to-day. II is, indeed, hard 10 persuade a
man TO eurtRil or reduce his indulgence in
what seems to him his only medium Of relief
Far be ii to say that the Woman's Chris
tiRn Union has not done a great work outside
OF its principal efforts against the liquor traf-
nc. But in this last word Of its leader, the
union should see wider field for reform
LmmoderGte indulgence in strong drink is an
evil that all condemn, even the men who get
their living in the traffic, but immoderate
Indulgence will continue just as long as men

Insurance Agent.
CHOSE TO LEAD A DUAL LIFE
His Father a Travelling Inspector for the
Company by Which He Too Was En-
plOyed-His Frightened Wife Says She
Only Knew Him as Gordon.

CHICAGO, Aug. 26.-The man giving his
Deerfeld hold-up and subsequent stirring
events late Friday night and Saturday morn
ing, and who was identified as Billy Williams,
well known character on the
Pacific coast, was again identified
to-day by responsible parties as
II. F. Griswold, well-to-do local inspector
OF the Manchester Assurance Company. GrIs-
woid's father is said to be travelling in
spector of the Home Fire Insurance Company
of New York, and resides in that city. The
people making the Identification are officials
of the Manchester Assurance Company, and
they maintain they are not mistaken.
1t appears 10 be case Of DIR. Jskyll and
Mr.. Hyde. Griswold had no need to steal or
shoot his fellow men, but he did it aDpar-
emily because he loved the mystery and the ex-
element of such life. Crime has apparently
become pastime with him and be is sup

fire risk inspector, which he used as a cloak
for his marauding excursions during the

various parts of Chicago. their last residence
being at No. I3 Curtis street.

the police station and gave her name as Cor
don, saying she never knew her husband by
any other name Ii is believed that the police
department, with the help Of the railroad
companies, are running 20 earth in this dual
arrest, long train of depredations of which
Griswold is the eanter.
The story OF GrisWold's life so far as known
is unique. Born almost twenty-eight years
ago, his father tried 70 give him fair eduea-
ton, but the boys instincts were wild and
lawless. He eventually disappeared from
home, and was next heard OF in the West as a
cowboy and ranchman.
After several years of adventurous life in
California. Oregon and Idaho, he came to
Illinois and secured employment as brake
man at Rock Island. Ill. While there ne

was caused TO lead quIeter life.
His father noting the improvement in his
behavior used his influence to secure the
son a position with the local Office OF
the Manchester Assurance Company. Young
Griswold grew proficient in his new
position and soon drew handsome salary.
However. the reformation was not complete
but just when Griswold began his double
career, while III the employ OF the assurance
company. is not known
Further disclosures are expected at the in
quest over the remains of Detective Owens

Griswold's and Lakes careers.

N. ZoLL AND LEO Kill

M. Emile Zola past and present master In
the prolific production Of literary pruriency,
is reported 10 reveI in the personal advertise
ment which he is pleased to believe is con-
tanned in the Pope's letter to Monsignor
Ricard. Leo Kill. in that letter. denounced
Zola's ''Lourdes, " and il so doing expressed
the feelings OF nine-tenths of those who have
had the temerity to wade through its horrors.
Now Nj. Zola proposes to insult the pontifi
and his people by going to Rome and inter
viewing the See on the preparation of new
book. 1t is not at all probable that he will
be able TO carry his threat into execution. but
in the very announcement Of his intention he
again outrages all decency and brands him
self mere charlstan who panders to gross
ness and sells volumes of filth.
The circulation in this country OF ''I ourdes. -
IL. Zola's latest disgorgenaent, is largely due
10 the New York Herald. That otherwise
magnificent journal must feel sorry for its mis-
taken enterprise. 1t must have hankering
suspicion that those ''Lsourdes'' communica-
tions which il wrote TO itself and printed as if
from some one else, were better had they
never seen the light Of types.
There were other journals too. that were
caught by the hue and cry, and bought city
rights to the story from the Herald at enor-
nous figures. They were, In. general, those
sheets that feel a thrill Of pleasure whenever
the English operator sends an electric current
over the BeAnet cables. If they are not sorry
that they followed the ''Lourdes" lead, then
many Of their readers are sorry for them.
NJ. Zola showed his skill in ''Lourdes.' He
foressw that he could not repeat the inexeusa-
be obscenity Of LA Terre' and so clothed his
last work with a semblance Of serious inten-
ton. But the rest was all there-stricken
