To-day. according to the prophecies of

viii undoubtedly he crowded The fall in
hux is almost complete, and the vast in
crease in population Of this city Of tran
sients Is apparent
This years Indian summer will come
later than usual and, according to the
Weather Bureau. will be of shorter dura-
tion than in other years. The kite flights
az Mount Weather. Va. conducted by the
Weather Bureau during the past few
days, have shown the beginning of the
stronger turbulent circulation of winter.
The temperature yesterday afternoon
about a mile in the free air above the
station was four degrees above freezing
with a strong west wind. On October 3.
an altitude of slightly over 5000 feet was
reached, at which point a temperature OF
five degrees below zero. Fahrenheit. was
recorded.
: This presages a continuance Of cool
weather, although the forecast for Mon

That mahogany piano which Senator
TiIlman stored in the Spanish Treaty
Claims Commission. in II street. at the
urgent request Of ex-senator William F.
Chandler, was not placed there because
warehouses IN Washington were scarce,
but to furnish music at the meetings of
the Ananias Club, Of which the distln-
guished statesmen are both charter mem
bers.
Senator Chandler. who threw up his
Craftsmanship on the commission the
other day because the Presi lent appointed
to its membership an attorney who had
long practiced before il, yesterday
brought the secret back to the Capital
with him.
Senator Tllman was not trying to exc
out his meager salary Of $3.50 as a
United States Senator and his annual
velvet Of $4,000 as a Chautauqua light
ning-change artist by saving storage bills.
Far from L.
He sent his piano TO the dreary. cold
blooded business rooms of the II street
temple Of large salaries and little labor
as Orpheus might have trundled his silver
Tyre 10 some Olympic mass meeting.
Lays Bare Secrets.
Mr.. Chandler. who is an ex-member OF
everything except the Ananias Club. has
laid bare the secrets of anti-administra-
ton musical circles by divulging the
heretofore unexpected fact that at meet
ings of those distinguished men promoted
10 the front rank Of publicity-unauthen-
tic publicity, as . were-by the White
House ronte, they invariably amuse them
selves by rapturous strains Of lyrical de-
light from the soft-toned harpsichord Of
the mahogany piano Of the pitchfork
statesman from South Carolina.
Ex-senator Chandler returned to Wash
ington 20 find the riddle of how Senator
Ililman's plano became a guest in the
front drawing-ro0m of the Spanish Treaty
Claims Commission one OF the burning
questions Of Indian summer days
Ex-senator Smiles.
He smiled an inscrutable smile when
the matter was broached to him yester-
day In fact, IL was easy to see that the
reporters reminder came to him with
the soothing influence OF an unanticipated
pleasure-like a man experiences when he
bites into an Unexpectedly hot potato.
Now, the real reason why Senator Till
mans piano reposes in the Spanish Treaty
Claims Commission said he, is primar-
ily 20 be found in the fact that Senator
Tillman was invited 10 attend the meet
ings Of the Ananias Club. Arrangements
were made 90 have the sessions In the
Claims Commission parI0rs and Tillman
was invited TO bring his piano along 10
furnish the music. II TiIlnlan had played
a banjo, he would have brought the banjo.
That Is all Tillman is a pianist of rare
skili-and he brought the piano
