IN another part of his history Mr..
Bryan says: Beyond O'Neafs few
members of Congress found lodgings
in the Union Tavern at Georgetown.
where Mr.. Mclaughlin was the host
until about the year 1907, when he was
succeeded by William Crawford"
The Union. like most of the early
hotels in Washington and Georgetown,
had many ups and downs. Many
changes of fortune and often mis-
fortune fell to their unhappy lot. The
Union Tavern was sold at trustees sale
in 1907 and there is a series of ad-
yertiSements to that effect in the Ma
tional Intelligencer in May, 1907. That
old advertisement follows:
Public Sale-By virtue OF decree Of the Hon
orable Circuit Court of the District of Columbia
for the County of Washington, sitting as Court
Of Chancery, will be sold at public sale on the
premises on the Sth day of August next. at ]:

and that is also why nearly everybody
in Washington who had a home kept a
boarding house.
The Rambler has heretofore written
several narratives about the old hotels
of Washington. In one of them he told
as much as he knew at that time about
the Union Tavern. Georgetown. That
was hotel which served the people
of the District and the travelling public
for many years. w. B. Bryan, in his
History OF the National Capital" says
In one part Of his big work:

of the city authorities to facilitate the efforts

when Nicholson arrived in the city about
the nrst of September. and with a view of
notifying all who had business with him or Mr..
Morris of his presence. a notice was inserted
stating that he would be at scott's Tavern

Georgetown in the evening

somewhere that many of the great
the world were organized in coffee
houses, where the bigwigs of business
met to swap news and views.
The old hotel was even greater
institution in Washington than It was
in other American cities. A great part
of the population of the early capital
lived in the Washington hotels and
boarding houses. and generally the
population of the boarding houses ad-
journed after supper to the hotels.
Nearly everybody in the government
service in Washington lived in hotels
or boarding houses. because his resi-

and usually was. 1t would be terminal

such comical and whimsical theories

thoughts of practical politicians. Such
theories were subversive of the founda-

declared with energy.
Every man is busy now, he says. But
how will the million or more soldiers
be employed after the close of the war.
If they have no work and must wait
for new lines and the development

known in the United States.

Americans can combine hereafter as
exporters. And they are preparing to do
so. The small manufacturers can join
the large ones and all will have capital

Washington papers in July. 1864:

their minds are on the present, but in
their plans and vision the future is
never absent. The leaders of American
business are now working in or from
Washington.
The Hun is to be conquered. That is
the first great purpose in their pro-

are necessary. Push the fighting. they

might increase and its descendants
make an important food supply for
Florida and the world. The animal
lives upon vegetables and does all OF
its eating under the water. 1t Is not
at all dangerous, likes to associate
with its fellows and the herds could
easily be kept in the Florida lagoons as
private property.
Many of the new fishes which are now
being exploited by the bureau OF hsh-
cries have already become an impor-
tant part of our food supply. Take for
instance the tilehsh, which was first
discovered by the dsh scientists in 1878,
but destroyed. as far as our waters are
concerned, by some submarine disaster
which affected 1t in 1885. At the latter
date the tilefish died by the millions.
and the ocean near our Atlantic coast
was covered with their dead. One sea
captain reported that he had sailed for

will eat as much sea food as the whole
population of New York city. and that

amount of meat his flesh displaces. but
also the sea food he is likely. to con-

In connection with the whale we

animal, somewhat like a
seal in appearance. 1t has no hind
legs. but a broad rounded tail which
works like a propeller when 1t flies
through the water. The animal attains
a maximum length of about eighteen
feet, and the old bulls weigh half .
ton. Tho female carries her young
beneath her Upper. and she suckles It
as does a whale. This animal. DR.. Bell
says, was swarming the rivers, bays
and lagoons Of Florida when the white
man first came to America. There were
countless herds which grazed upon the
water plants just as the buffaloes graz
ed upon our great western plains The
animal came as far north az Virginia.
and 1t was found in Florida, the West
Indies and along the gulf coast in
Mexico and Central America. It is now
almost extinct in our country, although
there Is protected hard in the
