Wasliington, D. C. An Interesting Sketch of the Most Beautiful City in America. A City of Biff Things Wherein are Congregated all the Varied fe-rrsriTixrrccriJXi TrTrrnrrjn n nmnarrgajl . Tho tour of the south usually Includes J a day or two at Washington, for while the national capital 1b raeivly on the borderland, it is the gntov ay to the most that Ilea farther dowt in Dixie, and the tide of travel flows 1 ward tho most entertaining point?. The loyal American has c uso to Iw proud of the capital of his country, for it is unique among the citios of the world and when it, has attained any con siderable age it will hi- without a rival. Washington is the only cit.j any pre tenBious on the fac of the glooo that has been made to order and made suc cessfully. St. Peterburg, in a way, is a city created for a seat of government, but St. Petersburg is not the handsome city that Washington is, nor can it eve r be, for various rensons. I have seen most of the renowned capitals of the Old 'World and am proud to say that none of them outclasses Washington. Constantinople, with its splendid mar ble palacos, presents a spectacle of mar velous beauty when seen from tho water front, but tho most of the city is squalor and dirt. Paris, dear to the heart of Prebchman, is a modol In some quarters but all of Paris was not iucluded in the beauty scheme of the French emperor. Paris commenced too late to be a model. It was too large to rebuild entirely. London makes no pretensions. Berlin and Vienna have their admirable features ; but each has also its seamy side. Washington with its broad streets and avenues will always advance towards the picturesque and magnifi cent, until it must be tho ideal city of the world, as well as the model of a seat of government. Washington is clean, fresh and Interesting from the minute the dome of the great white State Rouse is outlined in the sky until the last glimpse of the city is caught far down the Potomac. Washington iB a city built to order. It was created by the most progressive people on the globe for the specific pur pose of providing a home for the ad ministration of the government, and the whole design has had that one end in view. The streets and avenues are broad and lined with magnificent trees. The buildings are of such a character as a great nation can build. Washington is the office of the United States, there fore it is a city of big things. A strang er can get hopelessly lost in the tangles of the basement of the capitol building. The Congressional Library is the finest modern building known. Wherever the eye turns some big thing is found in Washington, until Washington is the most interesting city of th9 country. All thingsand all peoples me-t in Wash ington. It is the most co moxlltan, the most uviBtocraiVs and lOEt demo cratic spot on earth, "for hc-e are tlie representatives of all nation , the emi nent men of all lands and al sections of our own country, and hen the mule driver of yesterday la the P esidont .or some other important fellow of to-day. A glimse of tho Senate or House of Representatives when eithi r of those reverend bodies is in session is worth while. It shatters the idols to look CALIFORNIA. Thirty-Three Days' Tour via Pennsyl vania Railroad. The Pennsylvania Railroad Company has arranged for a special personally conducted tour through California, to leave New York, Philadelphia, Balti more, and Washington on February 16, by the ."Golden Gate Special," composed exclusively of Pullman parlor-smoking, dining, drawing-room Bleeping, com partment, and observation cars, return ing by March 21.

A few counterfeiters have lately been making and trying to sell imitations of Dr. King's New Discovery for Consump tion, Coughs and Colds, and other med icines, thereby defrauding the public. This is to warn you to beware of such people, who seek to profit, through stealing the reputation of remedies which have been successfully curing disease, for over 35 years. A sure pro tection, to you, is our name on the wrapper. Look for it, on all Dr. King's or Bucklen'e remedies, as all others are mere imitations. H. E.

A big man is not much Mgpor thun a little ,one aa they move abc t the floor together. Washington ia a svulur. In a way it puts the whole herd n a com mon basis, although spiisn idlcally it Bets up a sort of social fabric that de ludes Itself with the belief that it is an imitation court. Washington is unique i nong the cities of the world in many ways. Tso other is so wholly given up to tho af fairs of government. Other capitals have trade or commerce of some kind to divert the attention. Washington has nothing of the sort. The iTs'uVut pop ulation is feeding on tho public crib or doing something to meet the needs of government employes. Washington ia tho United States in miniature. Tillman, the South Caro lina curio, is on exhibition along side of the dignified Halo or Smoot the Mor mon. Prom all states they como, sena tors, congressmen, visitors, sightseers, job buntera, each reflecting tho pecu liarities of the region he comes from. The odd dialects, tho novel garb, the differences that mark the immensity of this big land, are all portrayed at Wash ington, on the street, in the hotel, at the capitol and elsewhere. Along with its grandeur and brilliancy, the elty baa its pathetic side. Washington is a per petual grave of disappointed hopes. The whole story of life in the capital is one of popular favor. Meritor individ ual efforts counts for little. No man has yet been president more than eight years, and tenure of office In any branch is dependent upon the whim of the people or on some one responsible to that whim. The result is a constant watching of the headman and his axe and a continually alarmed people. When the end comes the unfortunate, if he happens to be a department em ploye, finds that he has wasted years of his life in gaining an experience that is of no use to him in other Holds or with other employers, for every concern but the government does business on the baala of a day's work for reasonable pay, and a probable job while the quality of the work la aatlsfactory. With the gov ernment it is different. The pay is what the combined effort of epoil-hunt-ers can make it, and the job as light ns is possible. The capable young chap who leaves the stimuloua of tho real world to suck a public teat at Washing ton, is to be pitied unices he ia driven to it by temporary hard lu. k, and he should always reform if he can. But to get back to our mul on. Wash ington is always an interest; ;g point to visit, and for those who bav tho time and money to spare it is a g od place to atayawhilo. Here are the ioturo gal leries, tho Smithsonian ius! tution, tho universities that are star ng out on generously broad bases, he visible stories of the country's histoiy from the organization of the union, .nd a pan orama of present human ir.ierest that changes each day and hour.

Mr. Gray, took charge of both the stable and restaur ant a few days ago and ho is now pre pared to accommodate the general public.
