WINTER WRAPS MERE GUT
Top Goals and Caps We're Seen in
All Directions Yesterday.

TIE more important tact is that winter
has arrived from Nebraska, Montana and
other outlying States. 1he temperature on
Saturday was that Of Indian summer with
tUuahawk and scaiplnG hhilc iH hand, the
mercury having reached 81 degrees Fahren-
hclt While the Demonstration was il
progress ut the park Chairman kalbTus " as
handed Il special dispatch IruIn the Weather
Bureau witch stated that the conditions
Were favorable for a thunder storm and
adropo about thirty degrees in the teinpera-
ture. All this was realized. Ycsterday Y
murDing the mercury went down to ~
degrees, but chm bed up 10 13 at 2 p. n.
rcncg.-i again at 10 p. IN. 10 6S, with a
continued falling tendency.
Inr ClnInBr ki4InsI IrLSE that Was
expected will probably not ne realized
tins week. as The indications are for
warmer weather today.
The touch Of winter, however. had its
perfect work yesterday, the signs OF
which were manifold. There was an
oycrhaulipg of old trunks for warmer
clothing and some few still hunts for
pawn tickets for the ovcrcuat OF ultimate
redemption this morning. notwithstanding
the hard times and the multitudinous
hypothecaUion of peoples wcatherEoa rd-
ing, there were quite Il number of toIcoats
in evidence yesterday and last night on
the Avenue. There were also very many
Jackets and cluaSs ara wraps at church
and elsewhere which Gffusrd the csior Of
caniphor aud horaX. The moth question
has, for the time Icing. in some circles
succeeded To those Of the gold ti.g and
the silver bug. Enough of the winter
prospect has already teen experienced to
suggest the Immediate rehabilitation of
the general domestic economy as to car
pets, heaters in every shape and n general
getting together for the winters campaign.
The tramp may now be expected ndmer-
ously, aud especially those who declined
the offer OF the associated charities to
go into the potato and white bean business
last summer. Washington. in some respects,
is one vast pie counter for these birds OF
passage, but IL is Just possible that this
season will offer them less inGuCeLnent TO
lean on the Hercules OF the charitable than
any other. The giving of aims in the
way OF chinchilla overcoats and especially
baked commits prepared 10y tire hands. ME ta-
phOricaily, of the patriciennes OF North
west Washington, has been reduced To Il
nliuumum ol possible deception. Tranps
will be required this year to sIauI civil
service examination by the trustees of the
associated charities, or by the police; and
II they fail in hygiene or funiiEation will le
returuedto Baltimore and Philadelphia. The
usual song and dance of the Bill HOey
brand will not go this season Washington
Is tired of spending its free silver on free
soup for free lances who won't cultivate
free Piugrees on free farms.
