“'\ i l l 4 U4 4 , / THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: MONDAY. MAY 9. 1887. STRICTLY OBSERVING SUNDAY The Capital Uity Undergoing the Enforce- ment of an 0ld-Time Statute, A DAY OF GENERAL DISGUST. The General Expression of Opinion Not at All Favorable to the New Order of Things—Capi- tal Oity News, |FROM TITE DEE'S LINCOLN DUREA®.] “To Banbury went 1, O, profane one, And there | Saw a P’iiritane one, A hanging of his cat on Monday, For killing of a mouse on Sunday.” The Sabbatn was not made for man in the capital city yesterday, but man made over for the Sabbath i so far as the lord mayor could make 1t and the lord' high executioner, the chief of police, execute it. The reign of unreason inaugurated by the mayor's proclamation was promotly taken up by Chief Cooper, and through the long day he cast his oagle eye and ice water glance at every foun- tain, at every cigar stand and confection shop, while between time he laid down the law to the livery men. Itis in order first of all to state that there has not been in months a greater disregard of the Sabbath than yesterday. Men were in- cited to street corner discussion, to a atill hunt for a glass of soda or a smoke, and every man in the city nearly wanted to take a drive and there was no drive to be had. Profanity abounded also in unhmited quantities and the per cent in increase of profana- tion wouid make a heavy increase toward total depravity if it were known. A sec- ond consideration that the day devel- oped is, that the flying of the mayor in the face of public opinion has done more in a day to injure a proper observance of the day than can be recovered in a vear's time. When just as good citizens as the mayor him.«wli went to livery barns in the day to get their own individual horses and earriages for the purpose of a drive and found the livery closcd, their admiration for the 1nspiring genius waned perceptibly and they were con- verts to reason. 1f the mayor held a de- sire to punish the business of men whe havebeen political opponents, he suc- ceoded, in so_far as hotels were con- cerneq, for fifteen or twenty traveling mon took their grips and left on the morninfi train for Omaha, beshrewing a € town where they could not buy a cigar on Sunday. The closing was very generally observed in the mormng hours, and 1n two or three cases men went to liveries where they had horses kept and could not get them. All the cigar stands aud drug stores were closed early in the day, but at 10 o’clock J. H. Hurley opened his doors and sold soda and cigars to all comers, Sucha trade has never been had on a Fourth of July as his and at one time, when the marshal approached the scene, fully 200 people were congregated there, Other drug stores opened at the same time and several of the cigar stands opened up for busin or hardships were on smal ) y of whom had perish- able fruits but did not dare to open, and saw their stock go to decay. fine and law suit to them meant more than they cared to face. Judging from the fact that there was no public demand or pub- lic expression, wanting liveries closed and fruit and ico cream, cigar and soda stands closed, the only conclusion the public reaches is that the mayor, finding the power that the ordinance gave him, has gone in to show what he knows about reform and enforcing law. The citizens who desired a strict closing of saloons on Sunday and of fmubllux ouses will be greatly gratified to see the mnuicipal powers transferred to present channels while Colonel A. and Captain B, are still acquainted with the signal at the back door. But to the thousand and more business men and workingmen who toil indoors and out through the six days in the week comes the greater hardship, The fact that the mayor with his horse and carriage, his lawns and green- houses, shall say to them that on Sunday they shall not be allowed to hire a ocar- riage and go forth in the open air for rest and recreation on the only day in the week that is their own, is little short of impudence and comprises a flavor of aristocracy that common clay resents. Not every man, even men with property of their own, can afford to own a team, but they can be one of many in the com- mou prificiple of partnership wherein they pay for and maintain the property of one. Expressions of this kind were fre- quent on every hand yesterday amon, churchmen and reputable people. It was the voice of public opinion in the face of which the mayor tlies with his hobby. The job rooms of the State Journal were in operation yesterday, The Jour- nal supported Mayor Sawver at the late election. At one fruit stand it was reported that a policeman took the key himself and locked up the place, OUne ice cream and soda stand placed a tank of water in front of the door, la- beling it incident to the day. One disgusted individual advertised his business for sale with a card attached that he did not like to live in a ceme- eith Bros. attached a sign in front of their cigar stand that raised the ire of a Snvlvyer man, who scattered it upon the walk. A dozen or more lphends concerning the whereabouts of the proprietors at different meetings of a religious charac- ter were posted at different places. Bishop Skinner's livery barn and his church were open at one and the same time. . The police were notified by telephone that the coroner’s office was open and “ business being transacted. All the talk late in _the day was over the repeal of the law, and it will be a question before the city council to-night, BACK FKOM WASHINGTON. Attorney General Leese returned yes- terday from Washington, where he had been " to get the Bohannon murder case advanced for hearing in the United States supreme court. Incidentally it may be remarked that the general grasped the hand of the doughty Grover, and that he did not follow the queen of tne Sandwich Islands to that eity. The Bohannon case he secured advanced for a hearing on the 1st day of Octobor,when the final action in this remarkably pro- tracted case will be had. VOTING BONDS AND FRANCHISE. To-day the city of Lincoln votes upon the question of granting a cable fran- chise to the newly organized cable street railway company, and upon the question of issuing §100, in street paving bonds for the paving of street intersections. ‘This latter proposition is of the greatest importance to the city in its march of improvements and will undoubtedly pre- vail by a large majority. To the propo- sition for a cable franchise thore seems to be mo organized opposition, and it will also undoubtedly carry.

V. GALLAGHER, Pos| tmaster: HUMORING A NATION'S CRANKS The Oheerful Duty of the Washington Hotel Keepers, GAUNTLET FOR PRE1TY GIRLS The House Where Mathews and Davis Wooed and Won and . Ferry Wooed and Lost. WasiiNagron, May [Correspond- ence of the Brk.]~The month of May promises to be the g and most bril- liant of the season. Of all of the months of the r that are enjoyable, May is the most charming, for then Washington 1s seen in her loyeliest attire, and all nature is smilingly happy, there being no end to resources for pleasure end enjoy- ment, (except on Sunday when all the places are shut up) peovle catch the in fection nnd are continually smiling and joyously happy. The convention of *mine hosts' convenes about the 12th, Our hotel men are already stocking up for the occasion, and there isno doubt but what our “‘town will be painted red” by the jolly roll-pollys. I, for one, feel ashamed to have the landlords of the great hotels of the west see our miserable little shanties, compared with their great city palaces. No re- flection upon Washington landiords, for they make the most, and best of their patched up and pieced-out heuses, and I am sure no better class of men, or more perfect gentlemen can be found on the face of the globe in the pro- fession, And the Washington hotel man has more to contend with and more to try his temper (when congress is in ses- sion) than their brothers in the trade have in other big cities. Here ALL THE CRANKS OF GOD'S CREA do congregate, and somehow they advantage of the smiling countenance that “‘mine host'’ is perpetaally adorned with, to make him the bosom confidant, political adviser, social backer and financial bankrupt. It 18 a trying position to put a man in, to father all the cranks that come to Washington, Somehow they thrive on it, for we haven’t a lean lank, sad faced landlord at the national capital. There's C. W. Spofford of the Riggs house. He is about as broad as he is long in all things, so to speak. Is a Yankee by ‘trade, having opened his bilue eyes in the 1ce trading state of Maine, and knows whereof he speaks when talking of Jim Blaine. Mr. Spofford has the gift of being true to his friends (a_rare gift in this day and generation), frank with his cnemies, and generally delightful to his guests, particularly the softer sex, who may be seen yi:\lhermg about him in the reception parlor like bees about a freshly blown cabbage rose. Mr. Spofford 13 ably assisted by a splenidid ' wife—a mag- niticent looking woman—one of the most charitable ladies in all good works in Washington. The Riggs house is the most modern of the leading hotels here, and kept athigh water mark all the time, and just as neat as Yankees know how to make thing. Speaker and Mrs. Car- lisle have made theie home at the Riggs for several years during the sessions of congress, as have many others of our leading senators and members of the house. “Sunset” Cox, when not keeping house, also lives at_ the Riggs. But the Riggs is nov half large enough and good enough for Mr. Spotford to handie. There is talk of a now, large house being built for him, which we devoutly pray for. Then comes Mr. Rossele, of the Arling- ton hotel. He claims to be the classic beauty of the hotel trade in Washington. HE 1S A BEWITCHING WIDOWER of about fifty-five or more winters. He appears and looks younger, and ladies do pronounce him the handsomest man of his age in town. He certainly is a handsome man, and none are more in- telligent upon that subject than is Mr. Rossele himself. Should judge about six feet tall, splendid physique, fine head adorned with white, curly hair and al- together good looking. = His attire 1s faultiess, his address distinguished, his attentions to his guests most polite and pleasing. Especially does he have the art of pleasing the ticklish tempered artists and stars of the theatrical pro- fession. The leading ones usually stop at The Arlington. Crisp, cold, bright fternoons in winter Landlord Rossele be seen sauntering down the ave- nue clad in a magnificent long, black overcoat, trimmed with black fur, with a cap to match and dainty feet incased in overshoes embroidered” with gay col- ored beeds. He has the ir of a man who is perfectly contented with himself. THE NEXT IN LINE whois making every effort to shine up that old ark of a house, and make the Iandlords convention a blooming success, is Mr. Staples, of Willard's hotel. What an old ark that house is, and how much pohishing and rubbing up it does take every year to make it ‘‘good as new!" Yet there are some_fond recollections, some rare bits of old gossip, that would make good reading, of the distinguished people who have passed down the hill of fame and glory. ~ How many ‘‘ceck-tails” and cock-robin tales have been mixed at Willard’s famous bar and are still being mixed, for men will be men just as they always were in the days gone by when cock-tails sharpened po{llici:\ns wits for making presidential candidates. “Willard's" has long been the volitical headquarters of those who make up the slates for a new congress. If those old rickety walls could talk what vecrets they might divulge. But walls don’t talk, and the Iandlord won't ive his distinguished guests away, as ong us they march up promptly to the captain’s desk and settle. ‘“Enterprising men'' of all kinds stop at Williard’s and, at times, bets run high. No doubt there is MORE BETTING AND DRINKING DONE at Wil d's than any other hotel in Washington. Atdo'clock in the after- noon, when the departments “let out,” all the sports in town gather in front of Willard's to see the tty treasury girls pass by, Itisa fear gauntlet for a modest girl to run—thiit of walking by those glaring, bold-faced, ogling fellows, who are sure to make indelecate re- marks loud enongh ti'be heard. I have often thought when passing by Williard's corner Fourteenth street and Pennsyl- vania avenue, where sl the swells do huddle together, puffing their cigars into ladies’ fac and sucking their canes, that the ‘‘Society for Preventing Cruelty to Animals’’ should bg notified, or, that they should be removed as a public nuis- ance. Mr. Staples is a young man, just in the reign of manhood.” His ady guests think him pretty, and are delighted when he goes the rounds of his dining room to look after the interest of his guest: to have him stop and chat awhile.” It is a pleasing way he has, that of making each guest feel that he is looking after his own special eomfort. Our notable men and women of Washington have a spice of vanityin them, I am glad to say, thus mnklnfilll the world kin, and mine host of Willard's well understands how to feed such people, _THE SWELLS OF THE ARMY AND NAVY pick their teeth at the Ebbitt house. As these orphans of the government are usually born tired, they don't stand out- side on the pavement to jostle passers by, but sit the live long day in the glass front reading room and nurse their bowe on the arms of its chairs. Lux ies conducive to nonenity may be found 1 the Ebbitt house reception r- and reading rcom. Fou geads, the great, small, distinguished wad other- wise, generals, admirals, captains, eto., have put up at the Ebbitt house and held councils of war theremn, The amount of brass ~ which adorns these pompous individuals is dazeling to the untutored countryman, aud the dashing socicty belles. At the Ebhett may always be found muny ‘“‘inanaging mammas" with m Should these marri biessed - with “the gobbled up by some or licutenant in the navy the best showing of [ riageable daughters, able daughters be they are soon m in the army The navy hus utenants to be gotten rid of. Whitney makes this fash- ionable, and the Ebbett house glass front abounds with them. This ient old fire-trap is also a favorite place for con- gressmen who ha t their families with them, and have taken roows near by, ¥ and G streets, which are in the nests of these four leading hotels, are lined with bouses with “rooms to rent.”” These lo- cations being near all - the departinents, are eagerly taken up by public men. Most of our wealthy men 1 high public life have their private residences. A few years ago it was the fashion 1n Washing ton to have expensive parlors at our leading hotels, the responsibility of enter- taining was not so at. But now he or she who entertains the most and best at home, is the greatest lion or lamb of the ho We eat and drink their goodies and are thankful to the ex- tent of our seltish capacity. Here we measure hospitality by the joy it gives us personally. And, alas! when the great change comes that wi!w out all great- ness here at the national capital, that of clecting a new administration and a change in the poiitical power of congress, we forget the people whose dinners we have gorged ourselves with. It is the fate of all. Farther down town, once the volitical and fashionable center of our city 18 th OLD NIBBLED NATIONAL HOTEL. It was once yellow in_color, and how many other varieties of paint it has had a _dose of I know not. Now it is drab with brown trimmings, and is making a feeble effort to appear young and in the hey-day of prosperity.. Of all hotels in Washington the old National has housed, fed, and taken care of, under trying cir- cumstances, most distinguishe men and women of the past. Even in my day, the National hotel has been the center of presidents, such as Vice Pre: dent Henry Wilson, acting Vice Presi dent David Da and Senator Ferry, old Thad Stevens and mnng others fami- liar to history. It wasat this hotel that David Davis fell in love with the lady he married and left a widow; it was at this hotel that Senator Ferry Lad his little romance of falling in love with another man’s wife and got his face pumelled; it was at the National that Judge Matthews foll in love with his present charming wife over a game of whist. There have been love romances enough hatched in that old tavern to keep a novel writer stocked with material for twenty years, and then the half would not be told. And for the good it has done, some of our distinguished men still make their home there during the winter, in spite of the harrowing tales told of escaping sewer-gas poison, and the midnight frolics of rats aud mice. Senators Black- burn, of Kentucky, Brown, of Georgia, Berry and _ Jones, of Arkansas, with™ their fan s, together with many prominent members of the house. While the rooms are dingy and moth- eaten by time, Mr. Genny who has so long presided over the caprices of the wanting public in_general, and catered to the fickle appetites of the petted heroes of the day in particular, still sets one of the best tables in Washington, as far as quality'and quantity of food goes. Being near the depots, railroad and business men make this there place to hang up their grip-sacks. There are other less historical hotels in Washington I might talk about, giving their special attrac- tions (boarding “houses I'll nandle an- other time) but space forbids. There is room enough and people enough in Washington, counting those who come and go by the hundreds, to support large magnificent hotels, and why we don’t have them is a question asked daily by the lmvnlinfi public. We are still a little old fashioned in our ideas of taverns, but we hope for modern improvements.
