WRIGHT—BOOKS TO BE OPENED AND A COMPLETE INDEX OF BOARDING AND LODGING HOUSES TO BE KEPT—WHAT WAS DONE FOUR YEARS AGo, Next week the committee on public comfort will establish headquarters. “It will bea month | earlier than the committee at the last inaugura- tion began its work,” remarked Chairman Wright to a Star reporter last evening, “but it is none too soon.” Col. Wright was chairman of the public comfort committee when Cleve- land was inaugurated, and also when Garfield was inaugurated. He, therefore, is thoroughly familiar with the needs of the work. “Four years ago,” he continued, as he turned over the well thumbed pages of a large account book, “our committee provided quarters for 57,000 people. This number included some of the civie organizations but none of the military. There were no hotels on our list. Strangers, asarule, can find the hotels in a city, and on snch an oceasion they are filled to overflowing. hat the committee aims to do is to bring out make available the resources of the city. Here are thousands of respectable well-dressed people with money in their pockets landed in our city for afew days. The ordinary accom- modations afforded by the hotels are closed to | them, because everything has be engaged | months before. What are they to do? It won't | do to allow them to spend the nights in the | streets, or to falla victim to extortionate de- mands. So our committee steps in as a sort of middle man, We say to the people: ‘If you have one room, two rooms, or any number of rooms that you wouid be willing to lease send us word.’ Soin this way we procure quite a list of quarters. Everything is grist that comes to our mill, and we can use balls and all kinds of places where bels can be placed and where it is fit for men to sleep.” THE APPLICANTS. “You would be surprised,” ‘continued Mr. Wright, “to know of the large number of ap- plications received by us for accommodations. | Some come by letter, but more are personal applications. All that we have to do is to look over our list and pick out what seems to be suited to the individual want. A man and his wife may want a nice room with board. A lady, or perhaps two ladies come in and ask for rooms, or perhaps a whole civic association wants accommodations. The list kept by the mmittee on public comfort is expected to supply all these wants and a good many others. When a notice of accommoda- tions is filed with the committee a record is made in a large book. The location is put down, the name of the owner, number of beds, whether meals can be furnished or not, Cai axp Compare our prices, with the dis- count off, with any advertised price-lists in the | city.

Persons seeking | truth ought to investigate the prettily elevated | building sites now waiting improvement, and | y will see why our fathers selected the Hill | properly the future Washington, Various explanations are given to show why this selec- tion has not kept equal pace with others. Real estate syndicates procuring from Congress im- provements for the western section and Con- gress’ action in extending unlimited powers to the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad company are Congress alone has the power, aud it should speedily settle the Hee eous fight against this money-grasping, life- and-city-destroying railroad, This road should go east of Lincoln park and into Virginia ave- nne to enter a union depot with the Baltimore and Potomac road. When this is done the Hill will receive its share of fine private dwellings, comfortable tenant houses. and delayed public improvements. Enterprising citizens improv- ing the Hill must not be content in building cheap houses, but erect costly ones—houses handsomely and substantially built. All real estate men should take more interest in Capi- tol Hill property.

To the Editor of Tue EveNtne Star: Cannot something be done to rescue honse- keepers from the hands of hucksters? There are many who, like myself, never buy anything at the door, and yet whose bells are rung from six toa dozen times a day by venders of pota- toes, chickens, feather-dusters and the like. I have no wish’ to injure the business of those who make an honest living in going from door to door in that way, but their time is wasted, no less than that of servants at houses where such purchases are never made. Is there no law to regulate this annoyance in this city? In some eastern cities people puta card in the window orat the door when they want the baker or the fishman. just as m nts hang out a card for the express. Some such method ought to be devised here, or a bill for the relief of harassed housekeepers sent in to the next Congress. M. W. Bouton. Nee SEsidiaon Transfers of Real Estate.

A BARTENDER ASTONISHES TWO MEN, From the New York Sun. Two well-dressed men went into a saloon near the Brooklyn bridge yesterday. One was alawyer. They ordered certain fancy drinks. While sipping these they chatted with the man who served the liquids. The talk was about mixed drinks. “William,” said the lawyer, “let me give you a recipe for one of the most delicious drinks that ever tickled the palate of mortal man.” “Go ahead,” said William. William, by the way, is one of the most famous drink mixers in the city. The lawyer gota sheet of paper and a pencil and began: A fresh——" Hold on a minute,” said William. “I'm not a betting man, but I would be willing to at I know what you are going to write.” **How can you do that?” responded the sur- ined lawyer. “Mind reader,” said William laconically. “Learned the business offen Bishop.

But William wouidn’t bet. ~ “Bet him a hat on it,” suggested the lawyer's “Hat be blowed!” said the lawyer confidently. oD pa oth clothes to a second-hand uu were goil to on were going of sugar, a ji what iliam, «4 | | | at 10:30 this morning, armed with all the means for taking testimony, but when the recorder began to search in the corridors out- side of the court-room, where the witnesses are in the habit of waiting, he cowld not find any and returned to tell the court in a few minutes that he had no material on hand. It was ex- pected that either Sub-contractor Brennans or Emory would be present. The court has been endeavoring to get these men to Washington for some days, and telegrams have been sent to various places in the hope of finding them, but they have not yet materialized. Yester- day morning a telegram was received from Brennan's wife, which gave some idea that he might be present this morning, but he did not appear. The recorder read a letter from Emory, dated at a town in Massachusetts, stat- ing that ili health would prevent his eto at present, and he could not tell when he woul be able to come. SUBPG:NAED BEFORE THE CONGRESSIONAL COM- MITTEE, Lieut. Townsend announced to the court that both he and Major Lydecker had been subpenaed before the congressional commit- tee for Monday next, and asked that the court devote that day to the reading of the record instead of the taking of testimony, which was agreed to. , The recorder then turned back many pages in the record book and began reading at a brisk rate the proceedings of about a week iig0:|.Whe-cotnt hopes fu have aacared & nem ber of witnesses by to-morrow, and in that case will resume the ‘taking of testimony in the morning. In the meantime they will amuse themselves by listening to the tale of the re- corder, A Bricklayer’s Representations. Acorrespondent of Tax Stan, who was em- ployed as a bricklayer in the aqueduct tunnel, takes exception to Gol. Kerlin’s testimony be- fore the court, that the foremen of the brick- layers were to blame for bad work. ‘The writer | gives his own experience in the tunnel, and | claims that the “shoddy” work was demanded | by either the sub-contractors or the inspectors. Where an inspector was honest and required good work he would be r ved from where the men were at work by either Brennan or Emery, sub-contractors, when they visited the tunnel, so that there might be an opportunity t ank” the work, the slang term for bad work, An inspector might desire to be honest, but he knew that if he required good work he would lose his place. **Whenever,” he writes, “any of the engineers arrived xt any of the | shafts the telephone was used from shaft to shift, and the ‘nipper,’ or top man, gave word of his coming. Then slushing up with all hands began, so that when the engineer arrived all appeared good work. Col. Kerlin used to come through the tunnel generally once in the twen- | ty-four hours, sometimes twice. If he knew | nothing of the bad work he must be blind.” surnisc baad sans In Montgomery County. SEVERAL WEDDINGS IN ROCKVILLE—CONVICTED OF VIOLATING THE LOCAL-OPTION LAW—EDWARD WATKINS SENT TO JAIL. Correspondence of THe EVENING Stan. Rockvitxe, Nov, 22, 1888, The residence of Dr. Chas. J.

Offutt, of this place. The large parlor in which the ceremony took place was handsomely decorated for the occasion with rare tlowers and evergreens, the doorways being embroi ered with dark green holly and red_ berries. The bride wore a white faille francaise dress, en train, V-shaped corsage, and elbow sleeves, garnished with pearl passementerie and orange lossoms, and carrying a handsome bouquet of nephetos roses. ‘She was attended by the ‘Misses Mat.

A.M. Dr. Nansen’s Arctic Tour. From the New York Tribune. The safe arrival of Dr. Nansen and his fel- low explorers at Godthaab is a cause for re- joicing, but whether it is an event of much sei- entific importance is yet to be determined. When the little band of mountain-climbers set out on this expedition the plan was to traverse the ‘Sahara of the North” at is widest part. or at least as far north as the seventieth perailel, ‘That is the region on the east coast visited by Koldeway and Scoresby. A march across coun- try would have brought the expiorers out on Baffin Bay at Upernavik, or at least at Godhavn, and such a trip of seven or eight hundred miles would have laid open to the eye of science the very heart of the mysterious Arctic continent, Instead, the party has appeared at Godthaab, on Bavis’ Strait, and near the southern point of Greenland.

Cardinal Gibbons has issued the following circular, the first of its kind ever sent out in this archdiocese: _ To the Clergy, Secular and Regular, of the Arche diocese of Balti: Mx Dear Baerurentx Cunist: The Presi- dent of the United States has recently issued his proclamation appointing November 29 next as a special day of thanksgiving to Almighty | Process Fk God for the temporal and spiritual favors be- stowed on us all during the year now drawing to a close. The faithful of the archdiocese having, incommon with our fellow-citizens, | deep cause for gratitude to the giver of every food and perfect gift, will, we feel confident, equally disirous of evincing their spirit of thanksgiving. We should all be grateful for the temporal prosperity, for the peace, liberty and good order which prevail throughout our common country. The labors of the husbandmen have been crowned with abundant harvests; commerce and indus- trial pursuits have gone forward with even stride. The spirit of fraternal charity keeps | e with the diffusion of Christian knowledge in the land. It is true, indeed, that disasters by floods and storms in the west and that pestilence in the south have darkened and afflicted many a home. But even in these visitations of sorrow we should humbly bless our Heavenly Father, whose mys- terious dispensations we cannot fathom, but should always adore. We should kiss the hand that strikes as well as the hand that caresses, for, whether He smites or fondles, He is always a loving father. And these occasional calamities are but the shadows that bring out into bolder relief the bright picture of our national pros- perity. While, too, in other lands the times for choosing the rulers of the nation are ofte casions of political convulsion, of the interrup- tion of all peaceful pursuits and sometimes even of strife and bloodshed, the recent con- test between 10,000,090 of voters of the repab- lic, representing 69.090,000 of people. has been | settled peaceably and constitutionally, without | the loss of a single life or even any interrap- tion in men’s ordinary avocation, _~- In heartfelt and grateful acknowledgment of | all these blessings, and to humbly imuplore their | continuance, you are requested, reverend dear | fathers, to recite after the late mass in your re- spective churches on Thanksgiving the prayer for the authorities, and the faithful | throughout the archdiocese are invited to as- sist at the service.
