 Marching on Washington: CHAPTER ONE
And, though the events that took place in the capital on May 1, 1894, were important, the previous months of discussion of the leaders, the groups, and their tactics did as much to shape the perception of marching on Washington in the future.
As the English commentator W. Stead observed, by spring 1894, it was becoming difficult to transform "this grim and worn-out topic" into "good saleable newspaper articles." Moreover, the month-long march from Massillon to Washington allowed the journalists to fit their coverage into one of the most popular conventions of the time—the serial story.
In late March 1894, authorities in the District of Columbia—after private urgings from President Cleveland—announced that if the men reached Washington and proved to be tramps, police officers would arrest them under the District’s vagrancy law.

 Theodor Fontane - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-11)
His biographer Gordon A. Craig in Theodor Fontane: Literature and History in the Bismarck Reich (Oxford University Press, 1999) observes that this work gave few indications of his promise as a gifted writer: "Although the theme of incest, which was to occupy Fontane on later occasions, is touched upon here, the mawkishness of the tale...
His fine historical romance Vor dem Sturm (1878) was followed by a series of novels of modern life, notably L'Adultera (1882), a book about adultery which was considered so risqué that it took Fontane two years to find a publisher.
In his novels Frau Jenny Treibel, Irrungen, Wirrungen, and Effi Briest (1894), he found his very own tone, yielding insights into the lives of the nobility as well as the "common man"; his achievement there was later described as poetic realism.

Increasingly, he became a sadomasochistic icon of deliberate perversity.
"What is religious about that St. Sebastian, brilliant in his youthfulness, like the suffering Bacchus of Christianity?" asks a character in Anatole France's novel The Red Lily (1894).
Oscar Wilde, who adopted the pseudonym "Sebastian Melmoth" on his release from prison, invokes Sebastian in his 1881 poem to Keats, "The Grave of Keats," whom he describes as "fair Sebastian, and as foully slain." For Wilde, the Roman martyr becomes a self-consciously deployed subcultural emblem.
