RESPONDS TO REAPER'S CALL
WILLIAM J. BRYAN, OF THE EVER
GLADE STATE,
Passes Away at Hospital In Washing
ton-Was Youngest Member OF
the Upper House.

Washington. March 23.-William
James Bryan, jr., United States sena'
tor from Florida, died in the the Prov
idence hospital soon after O'CLOCK
Sunday morning. Senator Bryan mad
been seriously i'll for five weeks ol
typhoid fever, and on several occa
sjons his life has been despdired OF
but each time he rallied in a manner
which won the admiration OF all Whc
knew him and led his relatives to hope
that he would recover.
Senator Bryan was only 81 years oi
age, and with the exception OF Henry
Clay was the youngest man ever sen'
TO the senate. He was appointed on
December &c, last year, by Gov. Bro
ward, of Florida, to fill the vacancy
caused by the death of Senator NAL
lory. and took his seat January last
He is the seventh senator to pass away
since the adjournment of the hfty'
ninth congress, and is the fifth to Ole
since congress convened, on December
8. OF these seven six were from south
ern states, Senator Proctor, Vermont,
being the exception.
Senator Bryan's body will be taken
to his late home in Jacksonville early
Monday, accompanied by committee
Of senators and his widow. His death
will be announced formally as soon as
the senate convenes Monday by Sen
ator Clay, of Georgia, and an adjourn
ment will be taken at once.
Particular attention is attracted to
the death of Senator Bryan in view OF
the fact that, as the youngest senator
he died within few days after the
death of Senator William Pinckney
Whyte, of Maryland, the oldest mem
Der of the senate. Further, Senator
Whyte's death last Tuesday night
made it necessary for Senator LaFol
lette to delay the completion Of his
speech against the Aldrich emergency
currency bill over one day, and as Sen
ator LaFollette was to have finished
his speech Monday he will be compeli
ed to delay another day, because OF
Senator Bryan's death.

WALKED STREET IN BATH ROBE
Hospital Patient Wanders Away in
Search Of His Lawyer.

John Fletcher. fifty-eight years of age
a patient at Providence Hospital. became
tired of hospital life this morning and
left the institution. Under ordinary con-
ditions his appearance on the street would
not have attracted attention. but the
fact that he wore only a bath robe and
slippers caused pedestrians to stop and
look at him. 1t seems that John did not
happen to meet a policeman or acquaint-
ance until he reached Maryland avenue
and Az street. Then Policeman Spicer
of the fourth precinct called upon him
for an explanation.
I'm going to see my lawyer" was
his response.
The man in scant attire explained to
the policeman that he had walked out of
the hospital during the temporary alb
sence of the nurse. and said he was on
his way to the office of his attorney. Po-
liceman Spicer reminded him that there
had been so decided a change in the con-
diton of the atmosphere that it was
dangerous for him to be on the street clad
only in the robe and slippers. He sum-
noned the patrol wagon and had the pa
tient hurried back to the hospital

WORST DAY OF YEAR
Moving Day, of Course, and
It's Tomorrow.
BUT ONLY IN WASHINGTON
Other Towns Have Had Theirs and
Gotten Over It.
WHY OCTOBER l WAS CHOSEN
Real Estate and Express Men Prob
ably Know, But They're Too Busy
to Tell Just Now.

Tomorrow is moving day in Washin ston
| In New York and a number of the other
large and promising towns the moving
day is May 1. but in Washington the in
habitants generally change their quarters
in October.
This date for moving was selected a
good many years ago-no one seems to
know just how long since, but it was
long time ago. the old residents say.
Why October 1 is the popular period for
jumping from one house to another. or
from one little fiat to another. is as hard
to determine as is the date when the
custom first came into vogue. Some say
that the landlords and real estate men
are in reality the fathers of the idea.
They always date the leases from October
l, to run for a year. OF course, many
families get tired of waiting for the first
day of October to roll around and some
times jump their leases without the blink
ing of an eyelash. but they are in the
small minority, and the great majority
wait for the eventful day and have the
satisfaction of being in style, if nothing
else.
Fifteen Days of Rush.
Instead of decreasing in popularity. this
yearly custom is increasing. if the words
vi TIE Il0NIHS HeH count IOT any tnlHS
These men are so rushed at this season of
the year that they not only have every
horse and wagon at their command in
commission, but press pushcarts and
other light vehicles that were never in
tended for hauling pianos. beds, side
boards, etc. into service.
The moving rush starts about September
20 and does not subside before October 5.
The families who wait until the last day
October Ito engage TRANSPORTATION are
generally afflicted with brainstorm or
some equally distracting disease, because

hicle of any sort to carry their goods and
chattels to their new home.
Agents of the regular express and NOV
ing companies said today that they have
been booked I'D for Jobs for three weeks
ahead. and If any one should give them
an order tonight or tomorrow they would
not be able to do their hauling before the
10th or 18th of October.
The men who have wagons of their
own and who stand about certain street
corners are not booked UP so far
ahead, but they are proportionately

At the Mercy of the Landlord.
More than one family who put off the
detail of securing a wagon until the
last moment will be doomed to disap-
pointment, these wagonmen said today.
1t will be case of begging the land
lord or agent to give them three or
four days grace in order to get out"
In these modern times the man of the
house is not handy at moving his own
things, and has become very dependent
upon the moving man.
Although the annual moving season
commenced ten days ago. it will not be
at it's height until tomorrow. From day
break tomorrow until long after night
fall the streets will be alive with long
covered wagons loaded down with fur
niture and such household articles.

GOING AFTER WILD DUCK.
Hunters Expect Cold Weather to
Bring Water Fowl South.

The cod northwest blow of the past
day or two is expected by hunters to
bring the first installment this season of
wild ducks to the Potomac. Preparations
are being made by a number of hunters
owning power launches to go on hunting
trips down the river. So far ducks have
been conspicuous by their absence and aS
vet even the little summer duck has failed
to appear in any numbers. Before the
larger species of ducks come to the feed
ing grounds in the marshes along the
river the hunters say. cold weather must
come The first good northwest blow in
September or early in October generally
brings the advance guard of the birds the
main body coming after cool weather is
here for good. For several years past
ducks have been quite scarce on the river
in the vicinity of this city and the hunt
ers have had but little sport. Farther
down the river the hunting is said to have
been good.
