The Washington WIZARDS.


1--WE have quite a number of sin.
gular characters in Washington. Please
notice that pleasant-1ooking old man,
with very white hair, standing on the
pavement and peering in the door
which he never crosses. That is Joe
Willard, originally the keeper of
Wizards Hotel and the brother of
Caleb " lizard, the proprietor of the
Ebbitt House. Habit brings him to
look at the people gathered in the hotel
lobby, but you will doubtless wonder
why he does not enter his brother 8
place of business. The two have been
bitterly at outs for many years, Caleb
was Joe Wizards steward and man.
ager wheu then the latter kept
Willard s Hotel. Unwilling to bear the
tyranny of his elder brother, he branch
ed out for himself, prospered, and is
we'll thought of by everybody. The fact
that Caleb has prospered is the thorn
in Joe Wizards side and he has never
forgiven that fact. Joe is worth several
millions. lives by himself in the hum
blest manner, worshipping Mammon
which is his sole delight. Does he give
in charity? Well, not that anybody
knows of. If he does it is very secretly
and inconsiderately bestowed. Caleb
Willard is very kind to the poor and
dispenses freely from his store, for he,
too is rich. He has purchased nearly all
the property on the south side of F
street. between Thirteenth and Four
teenth streets, and just paid $4,000
for poor Dick Merrick' house and law
office building near Thirteenth street. ~

estimate that 100000 will supply the

Other editions will be printed to meet
the future demands. Over 600, 900 VOL

that the sale of this book will net to

States Senators.

It is an old and true remark that one
half of tho world does not know how
the other half live, and of the millions
that have never happened to secure an
opportunity to pay visit to the capital
city of the United States, very few in
deed have any practical idea of the
methods of life there. To furnish some
information upon a point in which all
have an interest, and many, if not all,
are more or less curious, the following H.
Illustrations are given, with appropriate
descriptions filling in some part at least,
the place of visit to a center of inter-
est to which all eyes are turned. 1t has
come to be regarded sort of require
ment of official life that members of the
Cabinet must keep house, and not re-
side in apartments or hotels and board
ing houses, for the purposes of recep-
tions and calls of formal state and So
cial life, and Senators too, have fallen in
to the notion that they can better serve
their State if living in houses of their
own. 1t is more dignified than hotel
life, and so perhaps a majority of the
members of the Senate, live in houses
of their own, or in rented houses.

AFTER a long discussion of the growth
and spread of Anarchistic ideas and
doctrines the St. Louis police board has
adopted resolution instructing the
Chief OF Police to dispense all unlaw-
full assemblages of Anarchists at which
resistance of the law is advocated, and
arrest any and all violators of the law
uttering incendiary speeches or Incl
ting to riot. At the meeting it was as
serted that the police had never at
tempted to dispense assemblages of
Anarchists, though they knew that
their incendiary speeches at such times
were violations of the law; that the
District Attorney had refused to bring
the matter before the grand jury; and
that Justices had refused to issue war;
rants for their arrests.

Same Salary.

This story is told of Mr.. Mac,
a well known humorist residing at
Rockliffe, Canada, on the Ottawa who
combines station agent and postmas-
ter: Having acted for some time as
master of mails at that place to the
satisfaction of the community, but with
out pay, the NJ. P. for the district pro.
cured his appointment as postmaster,
and the head of the department wrote
him that he had much pleasure in con-
tirming his position-'thc salary to
be the same as heretofore. This
pleased Mac immensely, and he wrote
to the chief acknowledging tho honor.
Il just wrote him. he says, "that
felt honored, as in duty bound, by the
confirmation of my appointment, and
was glad to know the salary was to be
the same as heretofore, namely, nothing
year; for, says !, I'd h-h-hate like
f-f-f-fury to have to p-p-pay anything!''

THE PALMER HOUSE.
entertainments,

Tho Wolverine Senator secured a
site for his palace upon X street, facing
Mcpherson square. 1t has a front OF
brown stone and is four stories above
the basement. 1t was planned by
Emerson, of New York, cost in the
neighborhood of 100000. 1t is very
deliberately finished inside in hard
woods. The house contains nine bath
rooms. Every bedroom has its own
bathroom. Senator Palmer is a very
rich man and can we'll afford to build
such house. He has always said that
he was not anxious to remain in public
life. but the building of this very
elaborate and solid house looks very
much as if he expected to remain N
Washington.

The house in which Mr.. Manning,
Secretary of the Treasury, has so re-
Gently been i'll, and which claims him
still as an invalid, is not over five min
utes walk from Mr.. Bayard's. and is
on the same avenue. The Otis Bige-
low house, which is the one occupied by
Mr.. Manning, fronts on Massachusetts
avenue and runs through to P street. Mr..
Manning is within two squares of Mr..
Jordan, the Treasurer, who occupies
the house at the corner of Sixteenth
and P streets. The house occupied by
Mr.. Manning is one of the largest
and one of the most expensive resi-
dences built in accordance with
modern architectural ideas in the city.
Its turrets and towers give the ap-
pearance of a castle at a distance.
The front has deep-set balconies
shaded by heavy arches supported by
substantial pillars. Over all of the
windows and doors are a great variety
of designs of stained glass. The front
of the house does not give fair idea of
the magnitude of the building. 1t
stretches back through the entire block
in an irregular, thoroughly artistic
way. The large stables attached to
the house face on the street in the
rear This house is just one block
from the British Legation and is
diagonally across the corner from the
large and imposing house occupied by
Senator Van Wyck, the Nebraska Sen
ator. Mr.. Manning's place is also one
block from Dupont Circle, upon which
face Castle Stewart, Mr.. Blaine
house, now occupied by Mr.. Letter, of
Chicago, a retired dry-goods merchant;
the row in which the house formerly
occupied by Sam Cox stands and tie
great house of Mr.. Hubbard, the hacker
Of the Bell telephone. Within two
blocks of Castle Stewart is Senator
Edmunds's new house. 1t is around
this circle that some of the best build
ing is being done. Ten years ago land
in this neighborhood was worth from
Is to 20 cents a foot. Land about
there now is held from - to $5 a foot.
This remarkable increase in value is a
fair indication of the enormous change
ip property values which have taken
place in the northwestern part OF
