WILLARD or WASHINGTON.
Hotel Man Whose Name Was IndeIibly
Stamped In the Capitals History.

Hotel Man Whose Name Was indeiibly
Stamped In the Capitals History.
Henry Augustus willard. formerly or
Washington, who recently died at Wal
pole, N. H., was one OF five brothers
whose names have been inuelIDly
stamped On Washington's history for
more than half century. Mr.. VIII
lard came tt the national capital ia
1S47. He vas steward On the New
York and Troy steamboat line on the
Hudson riyur when he came under the
notice Of Mrs. Phoebe Warren, whose
brother owned the City hotel In Wash
ington. Mrs. Warren said to her broth
er, "Do you want a bright, energetic
and capable young man to take charge
Of your hotel?" The brother said he
did, and Mrs. Warren then said, Il
have found Just the man for you In
Henry A.. Willard, who is steward
on d Hudson river boat"
Mr.. Willard came to Washington and
opened the City hotel, soon changing
the name to Wizards hotel. He man
aged this hotel alone until 1853, when
his brother Joseph became his partner.
They conducted the hotel until 1861,
when they leased 1t. In 1892 Henry
Willard sold his interest In the prop
erty to Joseph. All OF Mr.. Wizards
brothers Edwin, Joseph. Stevens and
CaIeb-came to Washington. Henry
willard gave them their start and en-
abIed them TO achieve great success IN
life.
Henry A. Willard was loyal sup
porter Of the Union cause during the
civil war. At one Of the most critical
I periods of the war. when 1t 1cemed as
ii the capital would be taken by the
4 Confederates, the dag on WIZARDS ho-
tel was the only one flying in Wash
ington other than those on the govern
ment buildings. Some Of Mr. Willard's
southern friends advised him to haul
the dag down, but he refused to do SO.
In all matters relating to the I'm
provement of Washington MIR. Willard
took an active interest. Under Presi-
dent Grant he served as vice president
Of the board Of public works. body
To which modern Washington largely
owes its existence. During this period
Senator Edmunds OF Vermont one day

temper.

There was sentiment at the time

Selim uttered the first shout Of sur

later they were standing at the edge
of a vast hole in the ~fioor-newly made
and pregnant with disaster.
A current of air swept up into their
faces. The soft. loose earth about the
rent in the floor was covered with the
prints of naked feet; the bottom of the
hole was packed down in places by a
multitude of tracks. Chase's bewil-
dered eyes were the first to discover
the presence of loose, scattered mason
ry in the pile below, and the truth
dawned upon him sharply. He gave a
loud exclamation and then dropped
lightly into the shallow hole.
"I've got it," he shouted, STOPPING

passage runs along here. One of the

THE RETURN OF PROSPERITY

There should be no account OF any
tardiness IN the return OF prosper
ity to the business Of the country
as whole and certainly none here
In Denver where depression has been
almost unknown.
In the East. where the depres-
sion following the panic Of 1907 was
very pronounced, revival has been
oorrespondingly slow. and this has In
a measure affected business conditions
in other parts Of the country. But
there has been steady. though grad
nal. improvement; and in the course
OF time this will probably prove bet.
ter than sudden bound into great
activ ity would be.
Following a panic there must be a
period Of liquidation, during which
prices settle to sound basis and a
foundation Is secured upon which to
build. This caunot take place in a
few days or even months. 1t Is a
slow process. and the recovery cannot
begin until liquidation is 80 far com :
plete that something like normal oon-
ditions have been restored. The
reason we have had little depr ession II
in Denver is because there ha, been
little call for liquidation. Business
WAS on sound basis But in other
parts of the country and notably in
the East the situation was far less
fortunate.
There has already been such no.
table improvement that people every
where should be satisfied, more espe-
oially since almost the only factor of
uncertainty remaining is the read
justment of the tariff.
The special session of congress to be
called In few days will take NJ
the problem Of tariff revision, and in
all probability an agreement will be
reached by the end of the present
fiscal year. Since there will be no
radical changes in tariff rates, nc
shock to business and industrial inter
ests need be feared. The adjustment
of business to the new rates will be
easy. But pending revision indus
trial revival will be held somewhat
in check. This being the only thing
Of importance retarding resumption
of activity, a full restoration of pros.
