crowds Upon CROWDS visit Them All Day
Long.
All day yesterday, from o'clock in the
morning until too late to have the fact
chronicled in the morning papers. the crowds
that poured necessarily through the corri-
d0rs of the Baldwin Hotel and the head
quarters of the Native Sons did not cease.
One hundred every minute passed through
those large entrances at the peril of being
%decapitated or having limb amputated by
the f9eRly doors with giant springs. Several
people weiSs knocked down by the force of
the doors rs t.iey'o WuGg shut and more un-
adullerated and charSeteristic expressions
of tie Queens En- 5iiSh were used on that
account thnn for the treadiDS II Ices and
skirts in the vast crowd which hlled Market
street TO repletloB.
For several hours during the heaviest flow
of visitors band was kept IN lie motel to
time their steps rs they crawied up or came
precpitOuSly down the stairs Oh their pill
grimage to and from the headquarters, Whi,h
know what to expect to see in that great
center of interest, and it Is safe 10 say that
ninety nine out OF every hundred went away
without seeing anything or anybody.
As SECRET IS g III. SPHINX.
Chairman Chamberlain, though present at
the headquarters all the morning and part of
r-re -tse 2lteIlqnq.- .Yas as unapproachable from
without as is the sci IensAt.iAe M spnlhx. Inose
he did see were only such as hat tIS IsoHal VI

| then they had to answer his questions with
monosyllables and make known their needs
in the shortest time possible. To relieve
himself and confrereS he issued an impera-
tive command that meme should see him, but
business made exceptions to the iron-clad
! rule. Though worked until he is pale and
worn out, he saw his way to enter into the
details of each department under him.
Peter g. Du Py of the Auditing Commit
tee has shirked answering foolish questions
as much as possible. but he has bis tongue
in sling. and his mouth Is closed for re-
pairs. This was the result of being too yio-
lent in his answers early in the siege.
SECRETARY DooLAN's PROVINCE.
Secretary Doolan is the subject, but not
the object. of pity. During the last week
every crank calling at the headquarters
Pavilion or the various parlors throughout
his wants supplied. Did one want a ticket
| for his aunts nephew he was referred to
| Mr.. Doolan, and even applicants for parts
on the programme OF literary exercises TO be
held today were sent TO this man of pa
| tience. At last in despair he sought dis
guise in silk hat, which he polishes with
his coat-sleeve as he says, II don't know
anything about it," in his lately acquired
habit of s0liloquy.

Both were SO busy that the day will long be
remembered as one of great labor.
