A SALVATION ARMY REVIVAL.
The Annual Camp Meeting Begins at
Wnshingfnn Grove.

The annual camp meeting of the Allan
tic Coast division of the Salvation Army
commenced last evening at Washington
Grove, with revival exercises led by Brig
adler and Mrs. Clifford. The services were
merely preliminary to the opening OF the
camp meeting today at 1920 o'clock.
Lieut.. Laura Donichey, of the local Sal
vation Army Corps, was the only member
of the headquarters staff who attended the
opening services last night. She was spe-
cially ordered by Brigadier Clifford to re-
port to him at the Grove to participate In
! the service. Lieutenant Donichey, ii is
| understood will have charge OF the music,
which will be a special feature OF the
| meetings, while she remains at the Grove.
| Ensign Allcock, who is in charge OF the
| local barracks, was very loath to lose the
| services of Lieutenant Donichey at the
open air meetings held nightly in Franklin
| Place, and will endeavor 10 have her retufn
| TO Washington as soon as possible.
| The outing will continue until August
! o. and will close with a grand revival
meeting in which all the members OF the
Army and those who have been influenced
| by its praying and preaching will partici-
| pate.
! Brigadier and Mrs. Clifford, who are the
commanders of the Atlantic coast chief dl-
vision, with headquarters at Philadelphia,
| will have charge of the weeks services,
and will be assisted by many officers in
the division, including those in charge OF
| the work in Washington.
Among those who will assist Brigadier
and Mrs. Clifford are Major and Mrs. Jen-
| kins, Staff Captain and Mrs. Hargreaves,
Adjutant Berriman, Adjutant Hopkins, En-
sign Allcock, Ensign Arpe, Captain Smith.

| Hoffman, and Lieutenant Donichy.
Among the officers from Philadelphia
| will be some of those who were recently
| imprisoned as the result of the action of a
| portion CT the police authorities, which
| aroused SO much sympathy and support for
| the Army. The last TWO days OF the week S
services, August 26 and q, Brigadier
Charles Miles, a veteran salvationist, who
has pioneered the work of the Army in
heather countries and who has recently
returned from Zululand, South Africa, will
| conduct all the services. Thesstory of his
| experiences among the Zulus is an interest
ing one. Hf
Three meetings are to be held daily by
the army at the grove at 1890 in the
morning, at in the afternoon, and at
in the evening. These VIII be character
istic army meetings, which VIII give those
who are unfamiliar with il good idea of
gious features proper of the meetings some
account will be given of the philanthropic
and charitable work of the organization in
its wide spread and manifold Social opera
tions." The slum posts, the prison and
hospital visitation, the rescue homes lodg-
ing shelters, farm colonies and other char
liable institutions carried on by the army
| will be described.
The latest official reports to the head
quarters in New York from all over the
country show that the army's work in the
United States was never so prosperous as
| now, and the reasons for its success, II
is claimed, will be seen at the Washington
! Grove camp meeting The Washington
members OF the Auxiliary Leagu, which Is
composed of several thousand men and
women, chiefly church members who sym
pathize with the army and contribute to
its support, will be largely represented in
the meetings at the Grove.
