The Boarding House in Washington.

The Boarding House in Washington.
The clearinghouse women of Wash
ington are numbered by thousands.
There are two classes of these. The
first merely rent rooms and the second
give board as we'll. 1t is great BUSH
ness here at Washington for women to
take large houses, paying from $40 to
$500 per month for them, and then to
sublet the rooms to gentlemen or to
families IS the case may be. They re-
ceive, as q rule, as much for their
ground floor rooms as they pay for the
whole house. and there have been in
stances in which women have made
themselves independent by room-rent-
ing. One hundred dollars and more is
not an uncommon rent here for acoup-
le of furnished rooms in good loca-
ton, and $50 and S75 are often gotten
for two rooms on the second floor. A
good third floor front room will bring
$25, and house that rents for 800 u
month unfurnished will often bring in
5000 or $3.50 If furnished and sublet,
besides giving room for the landlady.
A number of landladies make money
here keeping clearinghouse, and the
one who entertained w. ID. Howells
during his last sojourn in Washington
has been able to buy the house in which
she lives, which is worth about $40, 900,
and is now starting new hotel near
the treasury. Of course her success Is
phenomenal, hut there are numerous
others who are doing well in a similar
way, and the number of those who
make their living by feeding Others is
legion. Cleveland Leader.

Destructive Frost.

Our county Was visited on last Friday and
Saturday nights by heavy frosts which did
much damage 10 the tobacco crop standing IN
the field. As far as we have been able 10
gather information the damage appears to nave
been heavy, There was much tobacco-Proba-
bly, onet third of the entire erop-Standlng IN
the fields and the greater portion OF that stand
ing was much injured by the frost. The crop
in Charles was, owing to the untavorahly sea
son. at best short one, being estimated al
about one half the average yield; and TINS last
source of injury will further diminish, to
serious extent, the quantity of marketable to-
eacco to be sent up from this county next year
This ad1ed to the extremely low prices or 10
bacco at present, will still further embarras>
our unfortunate farmers. 1t is said however,
that ''miSery likes company and IN this con
necli.n il may tie noted that the frost was also
quite severe in the tobacco growing sections OF
kentucky and Virginia and that much damage
is reported from these States. This extensive
dimnution OF the prospective supply may have
the effect 10 getting up a speculative demand

as well aS prospective values of the product,
and in this way in some sleight measure com
