M|LT|AMEN CAMP IN
CITY HALL CORRIDORS
Mary|and's Crack 9Th Regi-
ment Spends Night in His
t0riC Structure.

Military commands, the strains of mar
tial music and the rhythmic tread of
marching men resounded through the cor
ridors Of the city hall last night and to-
day The temple of justice was trans
formed temporarily into a soldiers bar
racks.
The metamorphosis was occasioned by
a Joint resolution of Congress which di-
rected United States Marshal Palmer to
provide accommodations in the corridors
of the building for the 9Th Regiment of
the Maryland militia Similar courtesy
has been extended at previous Inaugural
tons to this crack regiment from Balti-
more.

cfal train about o'clock Yesterday after
noon, the 9TH Maryland. 500 strong, divid-
ed into twelve companies. under the COM
mand of Col. Louis NJ. Rawlings, reached
Union station shortly before o'clock.
They marched direct to the city hail.
full regimental band accompanied the
soldiers.
Meals Cooked Outside.
The commissary department. in charge
of Capt E. B. DuVal, had arrived earlier
in the day and assembled the ovens and
other cooking paraphernalia just outside
the eastern entrance to the basement of
the building. The meals for the boys
were prepared there and served inside the
building.
Strict military discipline prevailed. No
cots were provided for the enlisted men,
who slept i'm blankets on the concrete
floors in the corridors of al three stories
of the building. Sleeping accommodations
were prepared for the officers in Justice
Wright's courtroom. The use of the at
torneys' room. adjoining the main en-
trance, was allowed the members Of the
band. The two witness rooms, adjoining
Justice Gou1dS court, were turned into
messrooms for the three meals pre-
pared for the soldiers. AS the regiment
will return to Baltimore this evening no
supper will be furnished.

ENTIRE AVENUE USED
BY BIG NIGHT CROWD
Good-Natured Throngs in Evil

Nashington's largest night crowd could
not be confined to the usual north side of

Inc thoroughfare was brilliant with

so that travel was almost stopped
No pedestrian who wanted to get any-
where thought of travelling the famous
thoroughfare. The side streets. and the
longest way round. was the shortest and
quickest way.
Nearly every one in the throng bore a
smiling countenance. The grouches were
lew and were put in their places when
their disposition to make trouble was
manifested. There was little drunken
ness, and the disorder was of the usual
impairment variety-and taken with the
usual good grace.
Ticklers there were-and freely used.
The loudest matchmaking devices were
squeak producing apparatuses that did
not hatefully offend the ear. The cry OF
the street faker, "make IA laugh suited
the temper of everybody. There were false
mustaches worn, and suffragette caps
and mortar boards-all too small to fit
any but Il dolls head. Caps and hats
were adorned with the names Of states,
identifying the home of many visitors.
Then there were banners bearing suffrage
legends, and ribbon urging II Should
Worry and other slang expressions of
the day.
The crowd did not thin out until mid
night Then the street illumination
ceased and the people sought their homes
and temporary abiding places to prepare
for another and more strenuous day.
