now are the boarding-house keepers and
the real estate agents. They are all alive
in preparing for the rush of strangers that
is sure to occur as soon as the election is
over. Already new signs have been put
out on the thousand aud one houses whose
occupants have rooms TO let or board to
give, and in certain quarters all OF the
houses on square have little cards tack
ed onto the posts Of their doors. marked
as follows: FURNISHED roomsn or "Fur-
nished rooms and table board" 1t is
wonderful how many women make their
living here in this way. 1t is not so
strange, however, when it is considered
that their prices are the highest and their
accommodations, as general thing, by
no means eXtravagant. In the section OF
the city known as. .theNortnwest, suite of
two rooms on the first or second floor, if
rented to Congressman or lobbyist is
expected to bring from 500 or 5000
month without board, and board in such
cases increases the bill to the extent of
$50 person. Ordinary persons will get
these same rooms, supposing they are not
rented TO congressman, for 30 per cent.
less, and the rate to department clerks
are still lower. There is also a difference
in the cost of One's board here according
to his position. A big boarding house. az
which | once boarded with q number o.
Congressman and seN eral Senators, charg
ed myself and wife $22 80 a month each
for table board; whereas, the Senators
and Congressman, some Of whom had dvs-
pepsia and did not eat half as much as
ate, paid $25 for the same cold cakes and
tough beefsteaks. l learned after left
that | was in the middle grade of board
ers, and that the twenty department
clerks Of both sexes who ate at the same
table with us $22 and $50 boarders paid
only $50 for precisely the same accommo-
dations.
In the meantime house rents are very
high in Washington, and Notwithstanding
the great amount Of building that has been
going on for the past few years, the
demand is still greater than the supply.
In the northwest section decent houses
rent unfurnished all the way from $3.50 TO
$4,000 year, and furnished houses are
very much higher prOportionately. lido not
mean, Of course, higher than the $l3,000
When man VIII pay that much rent, as
does Mr.. Letter OF the old Chicago firm of
Marshall, Field Il Letter, he is generally
not satisfied with other furniture than
his own. In this evenings Star
which lies before me, see
great number of furnished houses for rent.
They range all the way from $75 to SO, 733
per month, and there is only one put down
as low as $75. There are, | suppose, as
many as 100 houses now for rent IN Wash
ington at over 5000 a month. and their
owners expect them to be all occupied
before the middle of December. IL is q
wealthy country indeed, which can afford
to pay such high rents. Dan Voorhees,,
understand, paid $1,S00 for his fiat at
'..'The Portland" last year, but whether
this included board or not / do not know.

TREASURES LOST AT SEA.
The Orphans Court Adjudicates Cap
Baillie's Alabama Claim.

The Orphans Court Adjudicates Capt.
Baillie's Alabama Claim.
The Judges of the Orphans Court yes
terday, says the Philadelphia Record of
Nov. 9, filed an adjudication in the estate
of Capt. William Andrew Baillie. For
many years Capt. Baillie cruised in and
around the coasts of China and Japan.
In all his voyages he was accompanied by
his wife, Elizabeth II. Baillie. During
the year 1861, by reason of his intimate
acquaintance with the merchant service
of the coast, he settled as prOvisioner of
vessel in Yokohama, Japan. Mrs. Baillie
was the first European of her sex who
had set foot in that country, and
as a result was the subject Of marked
curiosity and received great attention.
Costly presents were laid at her
feet by wealthy Japanese merchants.
COnsuls and foreign ministers shOwered
gifts upon her, and before a great while
she had collected quite valuable number
of interesting mementOes and curios of
the country. Capt. Baillie himself was
also the recipient of many gifts from both
Chinese and Japanese. Before leaving
the country, in 1868, he made large pur-
chases of silks, ivory goods and other
works of art peculiar to the Orientals.
These, together with his wife's possess
siOns, valued atsome $53, 900, were shipped
on board the British bark Scawfell for
London. Thence, on July Z. 1864, they
were re-shipped on the Adriatic for the
United States. The Captain and his wife
returned TO New York by another vessel.
The Adriatic, however, never reached her
home port. She was pursued by the
Confederate cruiser Tallahassee and to-
tally destroyed. After the Geneva award
Capt. Baillie and his wife presented their
claim for remuneration before the Ala
bama Claims Commissioners at Washing
ton. They were awarded in the neigh
borhood Of $4,000 apiece for the loss Of
their goods. Shortly after Capt. Baillie
died on July 10, 1883, and by Will be-
queathed his entire estate to his wife.
Mrs. Baillie as executrix accounted TO
the Orphans Court for her husbands
share of the award made by the govern
ment. 1t is as TO this account that the
adjudication was made. The whole fund
is swallowed up by existing claims
against the estate, but there is considera-
BILE real estate which under the viii will

BANKERS AND PISTOLS.
