Washington During the csntsnni,I

Washington will be the side-shoW Of the Cen.
tennial. Every foreigner who comes to visit the
Centennial Will feel that his mission is but half
performed II he does not visit the capital Of the
nation and inspect its famous buildings and his
torieal associations. Every Western man who
goes TO p Philadelphia will ofcourse come to this
city. Seeing the Centennial without seeing
Warrington would be making Q patchwork joo
Of the entire matter. Such being the case, the
probabilities are that hundreds Of thousands
will come TO the capital during the six months of
the Exposition and thus the city will be overrun
with strangers the while. Many Of our cItizens
convinced OF these facts, are already beginning TO
refUrnish their houses and prepare for the emer
Eency. The lookout for a brisk summer season
is sxceedipgly promising, and those who desire 70
cell should secure the services of those who can
Est the best prices, and no hrm IS better known
