he the lessee.
Greatly 10 the gratihcatiOn Of his many
friends. there now seems 10 be no DOUBT
whatever that Colonel A. W. Archer, who
for so many years. was the genial ana
efficient proprietor OF the Exchange hotei,
will again hold the helm there during the
reunion. The Exchange without Coionei
Archer would not seem the same place
The public also has great reason 10
coneraulate itself that this large hotel
will be open during the reunion when
every inch OF room will be needed. Ine
Exchange will hold a great many people.

ment. when thousands were I'm the city

lt Is Colonel Archers intention If he
secures tho hotel, to give just as good fare
as he did when il was under his manage
mont before, and those who have partaken
of his hospitality in the past; know just
what that means.

A Suggestion for the Columbia Road.
To the Editor of The Evening Star:
Permit me to call your attention, and
through your valuable medium, the atten-
tion of the authorities, to nuisance that
is being practiced constantly upon the pa
irons of the Columbia railroad The cars
of this enterprising line are so scheduled
as to permit the accumulation of no more
than two at one time at the western ter
minus, at the corner Of 10th street and
New York avenue. The track is SO laid
as to give a west-bound car clear way
to within about fifty feet from the end of
the rails. where the road stops with a
single track. The motormen usually stop
much nearer 14th than 18th street, i'm their
extreme caution, which Is suggested by
the constant presence of a still car on the
little terminal spur. The people bound
west are usually dumped from the car very
near nth street. whereas their fare en-
titles them to a ride to 18th street The
west-bound car then waits several minui es
until the time comes for the start of the
east-bound car. 1t would be perfectly easy
for the eaSt-bound car to be moved ahead
past the switch just soon as the change
of brake and grip-wheels is made leaving
the switch and spur clear for the car COM
ing west which is usually well filled with
passengers. 1t seems to me- in common
with hundreds of other regular patrons of
the road, that the interests of a majority
should be consulted, and there are easily
nVe passengers diScommoded by being OBJ
llsed TO walk from where the car now stops
10 where it should stop, to one who IS
slightly convenienced by finding the eastern
car at the exact end of the line instead of
twenty or thirty feet away. Can not some
thing be done about this? l.. A G.
