Dickens viii be celebrated In all OF the

life OF the English novelist will be re-
viewed. and selections viii be read from

In some OF the grades portions OF

Mrs. s.. IF. Fitzgerald. a lifelong resi-
dent OF Washington. who was the grand
daughter Of Ezra Fuller. proprietor Of
Fullers City Hotel. at which Charles
Washington n ls42. yesterday told her
"reminiscences OF the famous novelist.
Il was six years old at the time" said
Mrs. Fitzgerald. "but have many men,
ories OF the visit OF Mr.. Dickens. In the
first place, he stopped at the hotel con-
Quoted by my grandfather. and at which
lived. and I saw him daily during his
stay here.
'The hotel at which Mr.. Dickens
stepped was conducted by my grand
father. Ezra Fuller. and was called
Fuller's City Hotel It was at the
conner OF Fourteenth street and Penn
sylyania avenue, where the New Will
lard now stands. 1t was composed OF
seven red brick houses Joined together,
two stories in height. with an attic TO
each house. The entrance was at
the corner OF Fourteenth street and
the Avenue. and the houses were
known by their numbers, such as I, :
o. &C. Mr.. Dickens occupied q suite
on the FIRST doOr OF house number 4.
He had a striking appearance. but was
not generally liked because OF his Eng
lish ways, his manner having a trace
OF the overbearing. whenever the bell
in his apartment would ring. the word
would go around: There's Mr.. Dickens
ringing; you'd better hurry
The houses backed into a broad yard,
paved with brick, and with a tank in
the center OF a triangle. In the tank
were kept terrapin and turtles for use
on the table. Many a one OF these terra
pin and turtles was eaten by Mr.. Dick
ems during his stay.
when he returned to England and
wrote stories OF America from his notes
gathered while here. he stated that he
did not like the hotel at which he had
stopped while In Washington because OF
the fact that II was very poorly con-
Quoted, pigs being allowed 10 run around
IN the back yard. This was untrue. The
yard was kept Immediately clean, and
no pigs were allowed In 1t. The brick
paving was washed regularly every morn
ing.
1T may have been that Mr.. Dickens
saw pigs and cows on the streets, and
even in Pennsylvania avenue. as many
OF the residents kept their own cows and
rigsties. and the animals were allowed
TO Craze On the thoroughfsres. Ny grand
mother was very indignant when she saw
Mr.. Dickens stories concerning the hotel
and denied them on every occasion.
The site and buildings Of the hotel
were owned by Ogle Taylor, a wealthy
resident of Washington, who lived In the
Octagon House. He sold the property to
the three Willard brothers, who erected
a hotel OF their own on the site"
