Frank C. Ganpwer sends to Tar Lye e an attractive stat HOTELS FILLING UP. The Preparations Being Made For the Great Crowd of Visitors. INCREASING THE CAPACITY OF THE HOTELS FoR THE INAUGURAL PERIOD—WHAT THE VARIOUS HOTEL PROPRIETORS HAVE TO SAY—NO ADVANCE IN PRICES NOTWITHSTANDING THE CROWD, The hotels are beginning to show the signs of the times, Guests are arriving in constantly increasing numbers, cots are being imported, and the doubling-up process is being practiced in all ways, Of course, the great rush of vis- itors will begin in about five days, but those who have been fortunate enough to secure hotel accommodations will mostly come be- tween now and Saturday WILLARD'S OVERFLOWING. Colonel Mulford, whose face is familiar to the numerous patrons of Willard’s, smiled on a Star reporter this morning when the subject of the inauguration crowd was mentioned. “There has never been ¢0 many applications for rooms during my long experience in this city,” he said. “It goes without saying that we have already refused many times more peo- ple than the number we will actually accom- modate. This house is fully engaged already. There is no room left.” Colonel Mulford went on to say that if all the available room in the house could be made use of that Willard’s could entertain 1,000 people. “Of course,” he added, ‘we can't interfere with the comfort of our regular boarders.” By the use of cot beds, he said,and placing sev- eral people in one room,the capacity of the hotel will be stretched to its utmost. He thought that during the inaugural period there would | be between 800 and 900 people living beneath the hospitabie roof of Willard’s. In addition to sleeping accommodations, the proprictor, Col. O. G. Staples, has arranged to furnish | meals to a large number. It is estimated that some 2,000 people will be fed at Willard’s | during the the first few days of next week. The resources of this hotel, as far.as accommoda- tions are concerned, have all been exhausted long ago, and applications that come pouring in daily are refused. The location of the hotel and its prominence in Washington causes many who propose to come to Washington next week to wish to stop at Willard’s. Col. Staples has done his best to accommodate all his patrons, but he has reached the limit without providing for a large proportion. AT THE EBBITT. Mr. Barche, the manager of the Ebbitt house. told a Star reporter that all the availa- ble rooms in the house had been engaged for the inaugural period. “It is our intention,” he added, “to take in only such a number as we can comfortably accommodate. Onr guests will receive the ‘same accommodations and attention that they do on ordinary occasions, Ihave made no effortto do anything else. This has been the custom of the house, and one that I think pays, As far as our prices and accommodations are concerned, our guests don’t know that the inauguratiou is going on. Ihave endeavored to undertake only as much as can do. There will be some 500 people in this house during the inaugural period. I have received applications from over 3,000 people, and if all available space was used and people were crowded together. I could accommodate twice 23 many as I will, | But [ think the guests will be better satisfied under the present arrangement, and the amount of money that we would. make by pursuing an opposite course I don't think would make up for the loss caused by the dissatisfaction of guests with poor service and crowded quarters,” THE THRONG AT THE RIGOS. The great demand for quarters coming from all parts of the country has been felt at the gs house. ‘Ihey have refused four or five | times as many applications as they have | mted, At the present time the Riggs and nuexes is completely engaged and the sign nding room only” could be appropriately ed w Mr. John J. Rae, the chief clerk, the house will accommodate about 1,000 people during the inaugural period. He says that if th had the room that this number could casily be doubled, Their acilities for furnishing meals | are increased by reason of thé large -d to the hotel. He expects that altogether some two thousand people will take their meals at the Riggs during the early days | of next week. The large houses on G street adjoining the hotel, and used as annexes, like the hotel. be filled to their ntmost capacity, Mr. Rae says that the demand for quarters has been greater than ever before on occasions of this character. AT WELCKER'S. Mr. Felter, proprietor of Welcker’s, thinks that he will have about 159 guests, which will bea large crowd for his house. He is not going to do mach doubling up. except on his rates, which will have the effect of keeping his hotel ina comfortable condition during the ru: AT WORMLEY'S there will be about 200 guests. although the ordinary capacity of the hotel is but about 125 or 150. The extra crowd will be accommodated by putting cots in the parlors. THE ARLINGTON, “We are not goiiig to make the slightest dif- ference in our arrangements,” said Mr. Ben- nett, the head clerk at the Arlington. “The largest crowd we ever had was 297, and we shall probably not have fifty more than that number during the inauguration. Those extra people will be mostly the guests of those hav- ing suites of apartments, We shall not put up # cot or double up a room, or touch our rates. Everything will be the same. We are turning @ great many people away every da, THE NATIONAL has some 350 rooms, and ordinarily accommo- dates 400 to 500 guests, but on Monday there will be in the neighborhood of 1,000 to 1,200 guests. In many of the rooms cots will rein- force the usual aoe accommodations. The Plumed Knights, of Providence, R. L., number- ing 230, will arrive on Saturday, and the State Fencibles, of Philadelphia, on’ Sunday. It is expected that the dining-rooms will be kept goimg continuously nigit and day, THE METROPOLITAN, the successor to thé Indian Queen, now under the management of Col. W. H. Selden, is rapidly filling up. Extra cots will be placed in many of the rooms, and come 500 transient guests will lodge there, while many others will be furnished with meals. Mr, Selden is re- receiving by each mail applications for room and board, and the demand is largely beyond anything ever known before. The Buffalo (N. Y.) republican league, numbering 100 men, have engaged rooms from the 2th. and the Badger-Gore exeursion party from Massach setts and Connecticut will arrive on th: and the Indiana state oe an committee, headed by Major-Gen. J. it. Carnahan, will be here on the Ist. The rates have not been ad- vanced. Gen. Beale, the Boston decorator, has been engaged to ornament the exterior. AT THE ST JAMES, Mr. Wheeler, of the St. James, expects a great rush of guests after Friday. He expects to provide sleepmg accommodations for 500 persons. Many of the front rooms, he said, were already taken, The front rooms, he said, would not be rented for a shorter period than five days, because they would get as much for the windows alone asthe five days’ board would amount to. They have received many orders for rooms in advance. The orders, he said, came from all sections of the country, showing that there will no doubt be a larger crowd here than ever before. Some of the back rooms of the hotel had not yet been taken, but he thought it would be an easy matter to fill them, former_will 100 members and the latter about 75 men. “While we have to refuse a great many persons as fat as sleeping accom- modations are concerned.” said Mr. Hoadley, “we will be able to feed all who come.” THE HOTEL MALTBY. “You can just say,” said the clerk at the Hotel Maltby, “that we are going to fill up with Vermont people.” Gov. Dillingham, of Vermont, with his staff, and four ex-governors with their families and friends have secured juarters in the hotel. The party numbers 137. e house will accommodate about 300 persons, and nearly all of the rooms have been engaged. THE NORMANDTE, Mr. H. M. Cake, the proprietor of the Nor- mandie, is anxious that his guests shall go away from Washington with the feeling that this city possesses a first-class hotel, and he is consequentiy going to keep the crowd down at his establishment. He that he expects to have about 250 under his roof at inauguration time, 100 of them being the members of the Boston Home Market — club, This will about test the capacity of the house, but there will be no cots put up in any of the extraordinary places usually taken for sleeping | purposes at sucha time. Mr, Cake feels very proud of his new hotel and his guests. and is going to endeavor to keep up his reputation. —— Three Wills Filed. MRS.

A LETTER FROM MR. HEMINGWAY CRITICISING THE DISTRICT COMMISSIONERS. Tue Srax has heretofore referred to the re- fusal of the Commissioners to record the sub- division known as Greenvale. In reply to their letter Mr, C. B. Hemingway requests that the Commissioners promptly take such action toward the location of streets on and about the land in question as will permit a subdivision in accordauce with law. Mr. Hemingway says that he wishes to sell a part of the land and im- prove the remainder, and as matters stand he is barred from doing so. This, he says, is an interference with his right of ownership and his rights asacitizen, “While you probably have authority to regulate such inatters,” con- tinues Mr. Hemingway, “you certainly can have none to adopt only stich partial regula- tions as will prevent a citizen from properly using what is his own, and you ie is go on and do whatever else is necessary to be done.” He says if Maryland avenue were ordered to be located as far out as the reform school grounds it would settle the question. Besides, such a course should be promptly car- ried out now, while lands are cheap, before farther improvements are made, and espec as the result of the Commissioners’ pres regulation is to prevent farther progress, a Science Applied to Economic Questions.

Accommodations for Sight-Seers on In- auguration Day. | Punic AXD PRIVATE STANDS AND WINDOWS ALONG THE ROUTE OF THE PLOCESSION—THOVSANDS OF SEATS PROVIDED—WINDOWS COMMAND FANCY PRICES, “I wonder what George Washington would think if he could see the preparations that are being made to view the inaugural procession and know the prices that are being paid in some cases for choice places from which to view it?” remarked a well-known member of Congress to a brother member, as the two were riding to the capitol in a street car to-day. “Tam of the opinion,” answered the member from the south, “that he would think this was avery extravagant age.” This conversation induced a Stam man to investigate the matter and see whether the statement that extravagant rates were charged for good places from which to view the oe was correct. Stopping before a building near the Peace monument, in the windows of whicha large sign bearing the inscription ‘Windows for rent for March | 4th” was displayed, the reporter, assuming the bearing of a millionaire as closely as he could, boldly rang the door bell, and was ushered into a plainly furnished parlor. The landlady soon entered, and after scanning the reporter, in- quired if he wanted to rent any windows. Upon being informed that euch was his intention, she commenced to praise the fine view her windows afforded, and tinished by stating that she would rent the two for $50. Itthus seemed thatthe Congressman might be right, bu apply another test an inguiry was made a the ‘cost of two sccond-story front windows together with a balcony, between 44 and 6th streets. The reporter was told that he could have the use cf them all day for #130. A little tarther down the street TE Star man found a regular agency for selling windows. “This seems to be quite a business,” said the reporter to the manager. “Yes. and a very profitable one wh sts." was the rejoinder, “the only diffi g to dispose of them before the $t lots of requests for windows and places on but the people won't pay for outside | ile i until the day errives for fear it will storm and make the seats ¢ balconies useless, | “What is the price of windows?” asked the | reporter, “All the way from #10 to 2 100 a piece,” was | theanswer. ¢ persons, however.

We have a few of these seats brought to us to sell at 25 each.” The stand on the little reservation at Market space attracts no little attention, for to the casual observer a man of fine proportions is seen standing motionless about the center calmly viewing the scene. Upon close insp; tion it is recognized as the statue of Gen. aw lins, about which the stand has been erected. Most of the stands along the avenue will be arsistically decorated, and will add to the beauty of the parade. Building Inspector Entwisle has been busy with his corps of assistants, in inspecting the stands. Each one will be carefully gone over, timbers inspected, braces tested, and the gen- eral construction passed upon before a certiti- cate of safety will be given; unless such certili- cate is given it will be unlawful to occupy the stand, Many stands for private individuals and firms in front of their places of business are daily going up and Architect Brady, of the building inspector's ofiice, is kept busy writing permits.

ALEXANDER Reported for Tue EveNtna Sr. Boarixa Marrens.—It is now settled that the usual Fourth of July regatta of the Vir- ginia Amateur Oarsmeu’s association will not be held here. There is a tendency on the part of the oarsmen, here to take a more lively in- terest in the boeting affairs of the District of Columbia, and it seems not unlikely that Alex- andria will be represented at some of the open races during the coming season, The Old Do- minion club will, it is probable, be represented at the meeting of the Virginia Amateur Oa: men by President Bryan or some other member of the club, but no movement will be made to procure the selection of Alexandria as the place of the annual regatta. ALEXANDRIA’s REPRESENTATIV dria will furnish one of the te ‘ginia com- anies of forty men each that will escort Gov. Fitzhugh Lee to the New York centennial of Washington's inauguration on the 30th of next April. The Alexandria Light Infantry, Capt. Mushbach, will on the occasion represent the Alexandrians that were present with Washing- ton on the 80th of April, 1789.

Science has no remedy, yet nature thawed us with a palliative, the Soden Mineral Pastilles, which, if dissolved in warm milk and given at regular intervals, will in a short time relieve this dread disgase, whose consequences frequently are broncMtis, pheumouia, or even consumption, if not checked in time. A care- ful, loving mother needs only the assurance that these Pastilles have been acknowledged, reason of scientific ii igations, to be a — remedy in these affections. Almost first-class druggists have these Pastilles for 50c, a box, General Agency for America, Sopen Miserau Sruixos Co., Limtrep, 15 Cedar street, New 6 z 8a York. 3G-Page Illustrated Domestic Fashion Catalogues given away at the Domestic Sewing Machine office. 7th and H sts.
