Looking fer His “Uncle Abner”—His Appearance at the Hotels— Crowds Follow Him. The face of fair Washington was sun- dered by a smile and ripped up into a yawning grin last night. The mirth stretched from llth street and Pennsyl- vania avenue to 15th and New York ave- nue, with the storm center in the Riggs House. Crowds were following a man. He looked like a Reuben rare, and about him clung the perfume of hemlock bark and mapie sugar. The Pied Piper of Hamelin could net have struck the people harder. Folks shouted, “Gee whiss,” “What is it,” The man was William Vino, the comedian “hayseed impersonator,” world as ‘he Jay of Beth The Star man met him last evening, and, in response to a Proposition from Vino “to guy the town,” said: “Let her go.” Mr. Vino was costumed as the typical stage rustic from wayback. His shoes were almost too big for the sidewalk, laced with leather thongs and sawed off short at the tops so that a blood-hued wealth of red yarn socks showed up. His narrow trous- ers reached within almost a foot of the pavement, and flapped around midway be- tween his knee and ankle. His coat was of the most approved rural style and his shirt was of brown and white bedtick. He wore a white turn-down collar, and a glor- jously gory-colored necktie. He had a white hat of the fried-egg block, and from under this his long, uncut, ill-kempt hair fell in matted and tangled masses over his ears, eyes and collar. A pair of exaggerated steel-rimmed “specs” of the goggle pattern rested benignly on his big nose. In his hand he carried a carpet bag, with a rope handle. His clothes seemed to have shrunk or to give been outgrown. His countenance was straight and immovable and his gait was that of a man who has spent his life in walking over ploughed ground. He would lift his shoes several sizes too high, and stumble over the slightest obstacle. His footfall could be heard on the next square. Mr. Vino is a good comedian, and as he has studied his special part for years and acted it successfully for a similar period, he was well fitted to guy the city. It was 9:30 when he said to The Star man, “Let's get out. Now, you keep a right distance from me and don't know me worth @ cent.” The Crowds Gather. As the alleged countryman shambled across the avenue a newsboy gave the alarm by yelling, “Hully gee! look at the Reectoetedioetodolaotioctodtectediesertioseoliotirlipliplaplpliely Exhibit of Early Spring Styles In Coats, Capes & beige Another shipment of new s*** spring styles in Coats and Capes just received and from * today on we shall add new styles as quickly as they ap- on the market.

Then they would begin to laugh and would sa; “I wonder where he could have come from Some people turned around and followed him. Many didn’t know whether they should laugh or turn in a fire alarm. They usually did the former. At 13th and the avenue, while the crowd was staring at him, and people had run to the shop doors to see the marvel, just as he stepped oif the sidewalk something tripped him and he fell. He seemed to drop in all directions at the same time, and his carpet bag rolied half a square. That Was too much for the street corner gang, and it exploded. They attempted to assist him to his feet, but in a strong nasal twang and with pungent down-east dialect he told them, “that he reckoned he could wait on himself.” With his head thrown back and his shoulders forward, he proceeded mp the street totally oblivious to the of the crowd in his rear. He invaded Willard’s first. The rotund clerk with the glistening head was behind the bar. Everybody i the office clustered around the stranger and the peo- ple came out of the room to see the freak. Looking for Uncle Abner. The “jay” stopped about six feet short of the counter and said in his quaint New England drawl, “Are you the man that runs this hotel?” “No, sir,” said the clerk, in a puzzled and giggling way. “Well, you work here, don’t you?” “Yes. Ken yaou tell |}me whare Abner Hicks I-i-v-e-s. Abner as |m-y unkle. Father told m-e I'd find Washington.” “Where?” “No. 70 what?” “No. 70, Washington. ha,” shrieked the crowd, but the Jay didn't seem to see it. “What's yer name?” said | the clerk. “Willie Taylor, Bethel, Vauer- jmont. Bethel is twenty miles the other side jot White River. Abner runs the farm wext to father’: drawied out Willie Ta: vr. “Is that the post office up there?” point- ing to the letter boxes. “Have you a letter for Willie Taylor?” “Get on to the jay's dicer,” shouted a man. “Where's your over- coat?” asked another. “I was in Balti- more at a hotel, a brick hotel with a lamp out in front of it, I paid 25 cents for a ’, and a man in the next room told me he would keep it for me and zake care of it, and he gave me a check for it.” Wiille pulled out his pocketbook large size shot sack, with a draw-string at the neck, and the mob howled; but Willie didn’t seem to know it.

One kindly man in the crowd of- fered Willie a dollar, but it was refused, and another man wanted to take up a col- lection. The Owen House was invaded, but the bartender was anxious to get rid of the crowd that was in the wake of Reuben, _| and directed him to next door. Sending a Message. The next point of attack was the Western Union telegraph office. “Do you send tele- graphs here?” “Yes.” “Well, I want to write Uncle Abner a telegraph that I got anointed with his lips after every letter, he wrote this dispatch: “J Abner Hicks Care Wm Taylor Jaybird Vt Willie Taylor” Telegraphic rates were too high, and ne compromised on a postage stamp which a bystander gave him and sealed the dispatch in_an envelope. * The Riggs House next. “Is this a hotel?” “It is the Riggs House.” “Is he in?

Just then a morning paper reporte> came up and began to Interview Willie on farm- ing and agricultural things, and Willie was right there’ Then the reporter gave it as his opinion that it was a genuine case of a poor, simple-minded hayseed who was lost from home, and he adjured The Star man to look after the stranger and see that he ‘sSome Chiropodists” <clatm to have removed corns and buntons from the crowned “heads’ Europe—we can't do that—but we firmly $3.50 True Comfort Shoes for Ladies and Men will remove believe that our them from the feet. $3.50 is a very moderate price for really want it.

TFYou can always bave your money back when you wasn’t touched by some crook. Willie stopped a cable car and quietly inquired of the gripman how he made the thing go without horses. The street was blockaded with people watching Willie. Another Fall. As he got on the curbstone, he slipped and sustained another one of those all-the- way-to-China falls. The Ebbitt House was the next place visited, and the office was full of electrical experts. They were shocked. Willie plied the clerk with ques- tions about Uncle Abner, and asked all about the rates of the hotel and dropped almost senseless when he heard them. “Got any sarsapharella?” said Willie to Tommy at the Riggs. The bartender was inclined to be rather cool to the country- man. belo told him what he thought of him and a fight was only prevented by the intervention of friends. “Got any good cigars for 5 cents? Two of them for five?” and Willie lit a cigar and kept it in the flame till he had half smoked it, before he recognized that it was lit. Willie sauntered into a lunch room on the avenue and order- ed milk and pumpkin pie; took of his coat, and unbuttoned his vest. He wanted to bet the waiter another piece of ple that he could turn a somersault. A man took the bet, and to the astonishment of all the stiff-limbed rustic went out to the sidewalk and turned a back-action handspring and performed other accrobatic feats. The man paid his = debt. Then Willie and The Star reporter went to the HotelH Lawrence, where Dock- stader and his minstrels are stopping. Lots of fun was ecountered here. Fooling the Police. Finally the whole thing ceased and The Star man and the countryman took some- thing. Over the glasses Mr. Vino told the following experiences: “The thing that I am proudest of in my career fs that ene night im Madison Square Garden I talked with of here all right.” “Where?” “Jaybird, Veou- ermont.” “No office at that point.” “Well, | you just send it.

He watched me in dumb ment until I was out of sight, and went back to heedquarters and reported. Chief Campbell was mad because he hadn't brought me back with him.” ——— Escaped the Ravages of Fire. ‘The destructive fire which did so much damage to the business places located un- der Masonic Temple Hall, early on Sun- day morning, had made sufficient headway to burn through the floor of the hall and but for the energetic work of the department the valuable contents of hall, in which the joint fair of Hope a bo, ra a a cil, No. 1, Daughters of Liberty, and Put- nam Council, No. 2. U. A. M., is being held, would have larseiy augmented the loss occasioned by the fire. As it was, the hall Was filled with a stifling smoke, which in- jured some of the property of the two or- ganizations, and made the heavy lace cur- tains look as if they were in mout over the occurrence. But nothing the gallant knights went to work bright and carly yesterday morning, and by the time that the fair was to be for opened the evening only a faint trace of the smell of “smoked hams,” two patches in the stained floor, and the blackened curtains gave an inkling of what had happened.
