way Washingtonward today. The

Baltimore and Annapolis Electric
Line Of this morning carried several
hundred residents of the city
Many of those who went today did
SO primarily TO take iu the parade
of the Women SuTragists scheduled
Cor this Afternoon, and will remain
over night, preferriDg not to wait
and taFe chance Of getting there
tomorrow in time, for there is no
Joub, but that there viii be more or
less congestion over the railway lines
tomorrow, il addition to the possibil-
ity of g miniature blizzard setting 10
tonight, as did four years ago, and

e chill down one7s back was borne in
on the wings of the northwest gale

milder weather, and altogether su-
spicious conditions for the great cere-
monies tomorrow. The wind today
hauled around to the west and it is
gradually growing warmer.

bound for Washington will take the

many others are going by the regular
outbound trains, connecting at Acad-
emy Junction with the cars from
Baltimore. Officials Of the road, how
ever advise all residents of the city
to take the specials, 10 avoid transfer
and the consequent crowded cars
from The Monumental City.
