ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE pIsPATcH.I
WASHINGTON, March H.-After the passage
of these six or seven days since that terrible
4th of March, the town has almost assumed It's
normal appearance. Most of the, visitors who
still remain are of that class which viii always
increase so long as the Government pays better
wages for shorter hours than are paid by private
employers. There are more of these ONCE
seekers than ever before, and they seem to be
of better type than ever before. Few of the
hummer element are seen. 1 thought had
struck one of that kind last evening, however.
Walking along the avenue past the entrance to
a prominent saloon, a big fellow came out of
the door and down the steps like small cy-
clone and fell upon the sidewalk with force
that would have broken every bone in the body
of sober man.

suggested he had better call a cab and go

"By George that's what want to do. I've

time. Come to think of it, guess I've missed
the Inauguration. Shows over isn't it?'
probably you are waiting to get an Office"

Office, but Pm from Ohio, and I'm the only

A Chance fnt Wishnrt.


has terribly shocked the sensibilities of those
who are rigid in their observance of the day,
and indignant resolutions are being adopted by
most of the churches cond emning the contempt
for law shown by Congress and the city authori-
ties. The advocates of strict Sunday rest have
made herculean efforts to influence the two
bodies which govern the District, Congress and
the Commissioners, and thought they bad had
some effect. Never before were the Commits
sioners so rigid in their enforcement of the
license laws as within the last few months.
For weeks some of the most prominent hotels
andrestaurants were refused license on account
OF their infraction of the law against selling on
Sunday, and several popular resorts were
forced to go through with the performance OF
change of proprietors, either real or sham to
secure the required franchise.
But on Sunday every one OF these places
which had been under a cloud as well as others
which had not been, ran at full blast. with wide
open doors and with such scenes of corousal as
rarely have been witnessed before in Washing
ton. The rain outside drove everybody indoors
who could get in. Revelry was unchecked, and
the most serious of Christian politicians ap-
peared to be mingling with the Philistines to-
tally oblivious of the sacred character of the
day. The cashier of the popular resort tells
me that his house took in over So 900 on that
Sunday and on Monday upward of 81, 900. Beer
was sold at the usual price, but the glasses had
double the ordinary foam. The two-for-a-quar-
ter drinks were 10 cents straight or 20 cents;
oysters 40 cents instead of 25, and so on.
One can guess at the profit made during those
four or five days at these prices. Wages of
servants and employees of all kinds were
doubled and trebled and with all that the
good servants seemed to have disappeared. At
one of the best restaurants of the city l was
waited on at luncheon by a fellow who was so
drunk that he emptied the soup in my lap, and
when l complained to the proprietor that
worthy Informed me that the man was worth
$40 an hour to him, drunk or sober, for he
could not get another for that pay, and he was
then short-handed. He was absolutely at the
mercy OF such help as he could secure and
that was bad enough.

BiiOu Theater.

There was a perfect jam of people
at the Bijou Theater last night Every seat
was filled; the standing room was all occupied
and the demand for tickets at the box office
continued long after all available space in the
house was sold. Apparently there has been no
attraction in town this season which the public
was more anxious to see. And yetit is to be
feared that the more intelligent element in the
large audience found the much-heralded pro-
duction of ''rhe Twelve Temptations hardly
up to their expectations.
Aside from its brilliant spectacular effects
there is nothing in the piece that calls for serious
criticism. The scenery is elaborate and abund-
Among the representations are a wreck at sea,
the ice foes of the Northern Ocean, the coun-
Gil chamber of Boreas, the palace of Zero, the
snow Queen, and other scenes that are marvels
of stage magnifcence. The whole is admirably
managed, and the changes from one scene to
another are made with such rapidity and ease
that the result is like grand panorama, af-
fording a constant succession of novelties and
surprises.
Z The dialogue amounts to nothing. 1t is mere
bombast without plan or purpose, save only to
introduce variety of tricks and clownish acts
more or less clever and amusing. The leading
roles are evidently in the hands of mex
perienced amateurs, and would be better in
most cases II there were no speaking to be
done. Some of the ladies have voices that
would CRATE harshly on the ear of any man not
accustomed to the noise of a machine shop.
The ballet is sufficiently strong in point of
numbers, bpt the dancing is of very common
place order. Even the premieres danseuse are
disappointing. There is an abundance of
pretty girls, some agile acrobats and gymnasts,
marvellous green dragon, and some ingenious
ly made-up Polar bears and trick donkeys-on
the whole enough to look at-as well as
liberal amount of horse play and original Fuses
to excite laughter
Judging by the applause SO literally be-
slowed the piece made a decided hit, and will
continue to draw crowded houses. There is
enough that Is attractive in the scenery alone
to partially compensate for what is lacking
elsewhere.

SATURDAYS RACES.
The racing Saturday afternoon was az

From saturdays Daily.
Yesterdays DoingS.

The fourth and last day of the fair has
witnessed good attendance at the
grounds. Especially have this after
moons races drawn the crowd, as they
are of more than ordinary interest. They
are in progress as we go to press, and
include free for all trot for purse OF
$3.50, a running race for $40. and ladies
running race for special purse. The
entire exhibit was on the ground to-day,
though this afternoon some of it was re-
moved.
The fair upon the whole has been rea-
sonably successful, though not quite up
to the expectations of the managers in
point OF attendance. That it will come
out even financially is reason for con-
gratulations. The weather has been
very unpleasant for fair week, being the
hotties: of the year, and the Gust very
bad.
1t has been demonstrated that Aug.
ust is no time to hold fair. Cool wea.

The Indian of Alaska is different

is quite unlike that which presents itself
in the case of tie aborigines known as
the North American Indians. Whether
they had the same origin is immatcrial.
Environment has created n marked dis
tinction. Laziness is wholly unknown to
both native men and women in Alaska.
They are noted for their desire to accu-
mulatc, and there is one Indian Princess,
so-callcd, in the village here who is really
worth 80, 900 in silver, in furs, and in
blankets. They are all shrewd aud cum
ming in their pccuniary dealings with
each other and with the whites. They
are notorious liars when it comes to pro.
