A CITY ABANDONED
BY ITS INHABITANTS
Washington Deserted Over the Holdays-Thousands
Leave the City by Various Routes

Harpers Ferry was the mecca for
thousands. All day long the ticket
agent in the Baltimore and Ohio station
was kept busy stamping tickets for per-
sons wishing to spend the holiday at
that picturesque point Indeed the
crowd became so great that the officials
Of the road found it necessary 10 at
tach an extra section to the regular
afternoon train.
Suburban points also proved a magnet
which drew many away from the city.
To places along the Frederick division
of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad the
pleasure-seekers swarmed like so many
bees and If they all reached their des-
tination without mishap it is probable
the country surrounding Washington
never presented a scene of greater ac-
tivity than il does % the present time.
Mountains of Virginia.
On the Pennsylvania Railroad the
crowd made its way to Virginia noun
tain resorts. Bluemont was enc Of the
chief points of attraction; Charlottes-
vile was another while hundreds jour
aeyed to suburban places nearer Wash
ington.

Beach and towns on the river front
Many made , flying trip to Atlantic City
and Cape May, but in comparison TO
the hundreds who sought resorts nearer
the city. their ranks were comparatively
small
While it is impossible to estimate the
number leaving the city, a splendid idea
of how deserted Washington really is
may be gathered by a glance at the
deserted streets.

Washington today is not unlike boom
city of the West after its particular
source OF prosperity has petered out.
Nearly everybody of the few remain
ing since the departure of the winter
colony has left town for brief sojourn
TO the country. or to the seashore, over
the Fourth OF July
..Ho. for the balmy air of green fields
and pastures: and no. for a dip in the
ocean wave, and the roar of the deep,
blue sea-" was the cry that all Wash
ington gasped ali yesterday.
Thousands left the city to take ad-
vantage Of the triple holiday. Hundreds,
unable to get away yesterday, depart
ed early this morning
Exodus Begins Early.
Early yesterday morning the exodus
began. 1t did not cease until the last
train bearing merry throngs had drawn
out of the railroad stations late in the
evening. All through the day there
was a steady. constant. unceasing stream
OF humanity pouring from the city. II
is little wonder that the great Nationai
Capital today resembles a deserted town
on the Pacific Slope.
Biggest crowd this year" say the
railroad men. in speaking of the num-
bers who departed by rail. Trains for
nearby points in the mountains were
overcrowded. suburban trains were
loaded down. and the swift moving cars
which carry people from Washington
TO seashore resorts probably never held
greater throng.
