THE PURE FOOD CONGRESS.
ID Opens Today with Prospects for
an Unprecedented Attendance.


The delegates TO the National Pure Food
and Drug Congress are coming into the
city on every train. Last evening. al the
headquarters at the National Hotel, the
lobby and corridors we're filed with them,
and accommodations were at a premium.
or the $50 delegates appointed. nearly five
hundred had arrived last night at 10
o'clock. and the corresponding secretary,
Mr. Wedderburn, said that he was in re-
ceipt of letters in every mail from those
who intended to be present. He estimated
that the congress would have an unprece-
dented attendance.
Owing to the unexpected attendance, the
hall at the National Hotel was found to lie
too small for the purposes OF the con-
gress, and the delegates will meet in Har-
per Hall, 467 c Street northwest, where
there is plenty of room. They Will con-
vene at noon today, and will get in1he-
diately to work.
