THE COLUMBIAN.
Trip to Washington, Change of Time
BLOOMSBURY. PA.

DIR. ]. P. Welsh returned from
Washington, ID. c., on Saturday
evening. He had been there making
arrangements for the party Of students
that will visit Washington next week.
He secured accommodations at the
Oxford Hotel on New York Avenue.
This hotel is very Centrally located
and therefore can be conveniently
reached from all points Of interest.
When he came to make out the timer
AIRY for each day, he discovered that
the time originally set for remaining
In Washington was too short, and
has arranged to spend an additional
day. This will make it necessary to
go on Monday December 14th, in
stead of Tuesday. The train will
leave East Bloomsburg at S;47 a. m.
The entire cost of hotel and railroad
expenses will be $II.6I if one hun
dred people 60. If the number
should be less than one hundred
(Which is not verS likely the cost will
be S12.35. The money is to be paid
IN at the soaooi office beforehand,
and until the number reaches one
hundred, Sra.35 will be collected If
the number should reach one hundred
the difference will be refunded to each
person,
The party will take luncheon at
whatever point during the day they
ind themselves at luncheon time.
The luncheon will be paid for by each
person, SO that the expenses may be
kept down as each may desire.
Those who take the trip to Mt.
Vernon, which has been arranged for
"Wednesday, will pay 6oc extra. This
includes round trip on the boat from
Washington to Mt. Vernon with ad-
mission to the grounds and the ser
vices of a guide while there. This
amount need not be paid until after
the party has reached Washington.
Those who do not take the Mt. Yer
non trip will be conducted to other
points of interest in the city.
Very little street car fare will be
required, as each days itinerary is ar
ranged 10 economic walking, and
the hotel is not far distant from any
of the points of interest to be visited.
The party will leave Washington for
home on Friday morning about
eleven O'Clock, reaching East Blooms
burg at 6:56 p. m.
Each member of the party will re-
ceive, when he pays his money into
the office, an excellent map of the
city of Washington. 1t is the same
map used by the delegates to the
Christian Endeauor Convention last
summer, and is said to be the best
map Of the city that has ever been
made. Enough maps have been
secured without cost, to give each
member one.
Every arrangement has been made
to give the young people pleasant
and profitable time. President Cleve-
land has consented to give them a
special reception while they are in
Washington. Ut may moi be generally
known that Miss Hastings, former
teacher in the Normal School, is a
niece OF President Cleveland, and
that his sister, Miss Rose Elizabeth
Cleveland, visited her niece while
she was at the Normal School.
The points of interest to be visited
include almost every department of
the Government and many other
objects and places ofinterest through
out the city Three full days will be
at the disposal of the party,-suffi-
Gent time to enable all to get the
benefit ofthe trip without having it
spoiled by too much haste. The
special cars assigned to the party will
be suitably decorated, and will have
on their sides the name of the school. |
Those who expect to 90 should
indicate their intentions as soon as
possible as arrangements with the
railroad company have to be made
before the end OF the week.
