The Thirty-Third Annual En-
campment Opened in the Qua
ker City Monday.
VETS MET WITH CORDIAL GREETING.
Adm. Sampson, With His Fleet of
Fighting Vessels, Arrived Sum
day and Will Take Part.
The Avenue of Fame, which Extends for
Five Blocks, Is the Most Magnificent
Piece Of Decoration Ever At
tempted In Philadelphia.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. A-The thirty
third annual encampment of the Grand
Army of the Republic began Monday.
The vanguard of the veterans has
reached this city and found the people
with outstretched hands. Never again,
perhaps, will Philadelphia be the scene
of national encamp mpment of the g. A.
r. Of the valiant men who defended
the cause of the union there remains
but remnant, and with the depletion
Of the ranks the welcome is the more
heartfelt and enthusiastic.
Adm Sampson. with his fleet of
fighting ships, arrived here Sunday,
and this event marks the beginning of
the weeks celebration.
The route OF the veterans parade,
which takes place on Tuesday, is one
solid blaze of color and light. Not a
building but has its front incased in
the red, white and blue. The avenue
of fame, which extends from Walnut
to Cherry street. on Broad, distance
of five blocks, with the city hall as the
center, is the most magnificent piece
of decoration ever attempted in this
city. There are two classes of columns
The larger and more ornate are about
30 teet IN height and are
placed at the street corners.
The smaller columns, about 25
feet high stand on each side of Broad
street between the larger columns.
The corner pillars are massive, but
graceful, and at the base of each are
alternately, in heroic size, two soldiers
and two sailors Numerous circles of
electric lights decorate the piles from
the base to the golden eagles at the
top. The columns are connected by
festoons Of bunting and laurel, and
strings of incandescent lamps give a
brilliant effect at night.
The big parade of Tuesday will be in
twelve divisions. Post No. 1, from
Rockford, ILL.,, the Oldest post in the
Grand Army, will head the line. As
the veterans pass around the City Han
they will be reviewed by President Nc
Kinley, who is expected to arrive here
Monday night accompanied by Secre-
taries Root and Gage and Postmaster
General Smith. There will be over
$4,000 men in line. A feature of Tues
days events will be the chorus of 8. 600
school children, who will occupy a por-
ton of the grand stand on the north
side of the city hall. AS the parade
passes this point the children will sing
patriotic airs.
A question of absorbing interest to
G. A. R. veterans which will be decided
during the encampment is the
election of commander-in-chist Of
and other officers. Two candidates in
the field are Albert d. Shaw, of Joe
Spratt post, Watertown, N. Y, and
Judge George Rassieur. of St. Louis.
Private" James L. Dalzell, of Com
pany II. 10th Ohio, is also candidate.
Others urged by their friends are Col.
w. c. johnson, of Cincinnati, acting
commander-in-chief, and Brig. Gen.
Charles Miller, of Venango, Pa.

THE POLICY PLAYERS.
Six Shops in Virginia Offer the Usual
A11urements.


The policy men who are in business across
the river in Alexandria county, Va, have
been given more trouble this year than
they have for long time; yet the bust
ness, it is said, is still nourishing. Several
arrests We're made after the change in the
county offices the Virginia side this
spring, and it was stated that the policy
men would have to go elsewhere: but the
latest reports received by the local police
indicate that most of them are at the same
old stands.
Six shops the police say, are in full
blast across the river. and some of them
are doing a thriving business. Four of
them are located at or about the neighbor-
hood of Rosslyn, while the others are at
jackson City. AT this season of the year.
1t is stated, more money is thrown away
by poor people on the policy game than
there is in warm weather. There are hun
dreds of people who are idle during the
winter, and those who have a little of their
hard-earned money left imagine they
get J. more by putting on a gig or sad
die Then, too. there are people who risk
larger amounts during the Christmas hol-
idays because they think they will not miss
II as much as at other seasons.
As long as these lawbreakers are per
mitted to conduct their gambling places
across the river, in sight of Washington,
the local authorities say, just so long will

the District, it is necessary to show that a
DEFENDANT promoted the game in some way
Some officials are under the belief that this
law will include players as well as those
known as writers. but the court has never

The yellow Car Service.


To the Editor Of The Evening Star.
Not half tas been told by the various
persons appealing through the columns of
your valuable paper for redress of the IN
adequate and dilatory service rendered by
the Metropolitan Street Car Company on
what is commonly denominated the yellow
Ene."
To boil the matter down to the core per-
nit me to say that the company are try
ing to run half service. and by long
waits on certain remote switches. and IN
structions to their employees to permit sew
eral green cars TO invariably precede them,
pretend to give a certain amount Of prima-
facie evidence that they are rendering re-
turn for the franchises bestowed.
l am informed that there are in their
car sheds not one-half as many yellow cars
as there are green ones, and that their
conductors are entirely cognizant Of the
state Of affairs, and run the Connecticut
avenue line accordingly. The result of
this is seen in the hardship visited on the
lady standing on a wind-swept corner. the
tine-pressed business man, and the gov
eminent clerk who is uncompromisingIy
locked in the merit line by the chief of
division for the moments which are sacri-
feed 10 the greed and the selfishness of
mighty Honied syndicate.
Surely there should be some redress in
forced. and the very best people Of the
District should join forces to secure It, Let
us Orga nize, for without it nothing can be
thoroughly done

10 the Editor OF The Evening Star:
Much sympathy has lately been EXPRESSED
for the wretched animals engaged In haul
ing the scavenger wagons in the city. They
need sympathy in active form; many
OF them should be taken from the streets
and from any sort of labor, and in numer-
Gus cases death would be relief If it
could be dealt out at once instead of being
Tong drawn OUT and at the cost of acute
suffering.
But the attention Of the s. P c. A., the
police and of the public generally should
not be confined to the poorer classes of
animals and their owners drivers. A
large portion of the time of the writer Is
necessarily passed upon the streets of the
business section of the city, and not a day
passes that instances of cruelty to the bet
ter grades of animals are not noted MANY
OF these are the results Of ignorance on the
part of owners-more of carelessness
on the part of employees. Cruel bits the
oVer-draw' check rein and closely fitting
binders are the most common instruments
of torture. A few days since on one of the
finest carriage teams to be seen In the city,
a bit was noticed which, when the least
pressure was applied by the reins in the
hands of the driver or by the tightly fitted
'over-draw," forced the upper lip of the
animal in over the teeth and pinched 1t
cruelty between them and the bit. The
and then suffered additional torture from
the whip of the driver to force him to
stand quietly. This is only one of scores
of instances which have been noticed.
If every man who causes his horse to
wear tightly drawn "over-draw" could
be induced to put into his own mouth a
stick so arranged that it should bear upon
the sensitive upper part of 1t and, attaching
string to it. pass IT over the top of his
head, attach it to his suspender buttons at
his back, and walk about with his head in

minutes, he would realize something of the

daily.
Then, If he will attach to his headgear
two pieces Of leather, SO arranged as to
cover half more of each eye, and shut
off a corresponding amount of vision, go
out on the street and, thus hampered, try
to make his way along some crowded thor
oughfare. he may more fully appreciate the
conditions under which he expects his
dumb servants to do his bidding and grant
them relief. HORSEMAN.
