parade at night, the evidences of a general
intention on the part of the various organ
izations in the District to turn out in full
force are rapidly accommodating. The de-
cisiOn was reached by the committee OF one
hundred, it may be stated, out of regard
for the well-known desire felt by every
American citizen to do personal honor in a
practical way to the hero of Manila. a day
parade would have prevented "a very large

Individual Displays.
The suggestion made recently in The
Evening Star that each individual organi-
cation should adopt measures to carry with
it effective means and appliances to make
the parade as brilliant as the outward ilu-
mination through which it will pass has
met with general approval, and will be

cess. The Central Labor Union, it is under
stood, contemplates providing torches for
each of the thousands who will turn out
under It's auspices, and there Is no reason
why every organzatio should not do the
same thing, and thus make the procession
a succession of enthusiastic tiambeau clubs.
