Ships Many Tons of Waste.
Mr.. Hopfenmaier is said to be one of the
largest shippers in the District. He sends
from eight to twelve carloads of waste
paper of approximately from $50 to 300
tons from the government printing office to
Kalamazoo, Mich. every day. He also
ships from three to six of tallow and
exports many hides. Mr. Hopfenmaier sends
large shipments of iron and junk to rolling
mills In different parts of the country. and
has agents in country districts buying up
these goods
He informed a Star reporter that If a
paper mill were established here he could
furnish enough waste paper for 100 tons
of product per day. Factories In this city
or vicinity would save the matter of
freight, which, he says is a considera HE
item of expense. He employs thirty-seyen
to forty horse and fifty men in his bust
ness, and says he has no complaint to
make of the shipping facilities afforded
here. He declared that when one railroad
does not give him what he wants he goes

mafer. I can get carload of freight

exposition, has furnished Mr. Charles T.
Howe, secretary of the Jobbers and Ship

upon that approaching big event. He says:
I'VE invite your attention to the magnifi-
cent celebration by the United States and
the leading countries of the world of the
three hundredth anniversary of the settle
ment of America, but more especially to
the fact that in connection Herewith a
great exposition will be held differing ma
terially from all previous ones, in that the
navy and army display will be the greatest
in the worlds history. Congress has made
for this great celebration and exposition the
largest appropriation ever given to any ex-
position except the worlds fairs-Sl, SIS coo.
We are already assured of greater
number of foreign visitors than has ever
come to America upon other occasions, and
also certain that the millions who annually
visit the vicinity of Hampton Roads and
who have made 1t the greatest and most
attractive summer resort for the people OF
adjacent states will be enormously In
creased during the exposition. to which will
be added hundreds of thousands from other
sections of our country. Official participa-
ton by a majority of the states of the
Union upon an unusually large scale will
also add greatly to the attendance. State
appropriations for this purpose are already
greater than those made for the Pan-Ameri-
can exposition at Buffalo.
