Holy Name Society's Parade.

More than 10000 men pledged in their
association to protect the Holy Name
against profanity and blasphemy will
march in remarkable demonstration at
Washington on Sunday. October 20, under
auspices of the Washington section. The
Baltimore and Western Maryland sections
will have conspicuous places in line, Balti-
more having the right of line by virtue Of
the fact that the president of the society
in the archdiocese Of Baltimore is Jerome
II. Joyce Of that city.
1t will be the second demonstration of
the kind by the Holy Name Society of this
archdiocese. A few days ago more than
10000 men marched in Philadelphia.
Throughout the country annual demonstra-
tons are made, and the society is rapidly
growing numerically and in influence, into
one Of the first forces of the Catholic Church
of America. At his jubilee Cardinal Glib
bons especially commended the work Of
the Holy Name Society. the national con-
vention of which was held in Baltimore,
and urged that il be made subject of
thought and work at the various retreats.
A crowd greater even than the attend
ance at Inauguration is expected TO so over
from Maryland and Baltimore and the
railroads are arranging accordingly. by
bringing cars from oil parts of the line.
Special rates for the round trip will be in
force at all points, ranging downward from
| 81 for the round trip from Cumberland. the
most distant point, to 81 for all nearby
points. In addition to the purpose Of the
demonstration, the unusually low rates
will be a great attraction in swelling the
attendance.
There are As parishes in the archdiocese
of Baltimore affiliated with the society
and every one of them will have not only q
large marching representation. but bands
to play in line. Perhaps the largest at.
tendance will be that of ST. Johns Church
