COL. FAIR EvACUATEs THE oRMsBY. AMI
ESTABLISHES HIS HEADQUARTERS AT
| THE ARLINGTON.
Yesterday there was lively commotion
at the Ormsby House among the colored
help, over the rumor that Col Fair had
changed his headquarters to the Arlington.
One of The bootblacks was so put out that
he was closely watched by the proprietor
| to prevent sudden suicide.
REGARDING DICK DYE.
One of the colored domestics button
holed an APPEAL reporter yesterday, and
gave him the inside of the business.
"You see, Massa Fair sent Dick Dye
down heah to gage de rooms. Oh course
de Kenol don't care for de expense. Well,
Dye gagged de hull upper foah, sab, de
front rooms. sab, and de bridal chamber,
sab. Yesterday comes Dye and asked
how much dat doah was goin' to cost. Oh
course de boss put the price down low, one
hundred dollars day, and de price seemed
to stagger Dye like a brick had hit him.
He drew ont oh de game.
"REMINISCENCES OF oLDEN TIMES.
"Look heah, sab, continued the darkey,
when Jones run, dere was noffin cheap
bout him. He stayed heah five days, and
paid Pant fifteen hundred dollars, sab, cash
down. Noffen small bout such man.
Den dere was Sharon, be paid thousand
down for three days. Jones paid me ten
dollars, sab, for bringin' up some gin one
night, and five dollars was de regular price
for shines all ober the place. But, boss,
dose prices is ridikerlous for rooms. Dey
spill champaign and spit tobacker juice all
ober the foah, and the carpet is as good as
gone. Dey use de cheers and lounges
awful. De ole grangers lif der feet right
up on de cheers and spit all ober de lace
curtains. How'd you 'spose bridal cham
ber'd look after one OBJ dose crowds had
done wild it? Now don't know for suah
whether Massa Fair is goin' to run his
campaign on de cheap plan or not. 1t
looks mighty like it. Perhaps dat man
Dye is at de bottom oh it, cause do Kenol
wasn't down here in pusson. Ebery year
de politics gifts cheaper. Six years from
now de Senators will take rooms at de
Capitol Lodgin' House and eat at de res
taurant Fair he don't stand On expenses.
Dye is de man what made de trouble. If
Dye ever turns up for Office, de nigs. sab,
will set down on him heavy"
HOW 1T HAPPENED.
Col. Fair engaged rooms temporarily at
the Ormsby, and then sent Dick Dye down |
to make more permanent arrangements. |
Richard inquired the price of five of the |
best rooms, including the famous bridal |
chamber and the room which in times gone
bye Pant had hallowed with his embroid-
cred dressing gowns and ruffled shirt fronts.
When the price was named, Mr.. Dye, who
had just returned from the Orient, where a
Kings palace goes begging at $40 week
with all the attachments, was considerably
staggered, and remarking that he did ''not
wish to buy the hotel" went down to the
House and made other arrange
nents.
The Sharp Bros. say they could not ac
ommodate the Senatorial guest at any less
,rice, as the damage to the carpets and fur
liture, where large quantities of wine are
onsnmed, is very great, and the rooms
ave to be refurnished A Senatorial cam
align is considered very wearing on a
otel.
