"To llanlmry went I , O , profane ouet
And tlirru 1 saw n I'liritanu ono ,
A lianultiK of his cat on Monday ,
Fur killing of a. inouso on Sunday. "
The Sabbatn was not made for man in
the capital city yesterday , but man made
over for the Sabbath in so far as the lord
mayor could make it and the lord1 high
executioner , the chinf of police , execute
it. The reign of unreason inaugurated
by tlio mayor's proclamation was
promptly taken tip by Chief Cooper , atrl
through the lone day ho cast his eagle
eye and ice water glance at ovcry foun
tain , at every cigar stand and confection
shop , while between time ho laid down
the law to the livery men. It is in order
first of all to state that there has not
been in months a greater disregard of the
Sabbath than yesterday. Men wcro in
cited to street corner discussion , to u
Htlll hunt for a glass of soda or n smoke ,
and every man in the city nearly
wanted to take a drive and there was
no drive to bo had. 1'rofanity
abounded also in unlimited quantities
and the per cent In increase of profana
tion would make a heavy increase toward
total depravity if it were known. A second
end consideration that the day devel
oped is , that tlio Hying of the mayor in
the face of public opinion has done moro
in a day to injure a proper observance of
the day than can bo recovered in a year's
time. When just as good citi/.cns us the
mayor himself went to livery barns in
the day to got their own individual
horses and carriages for the purpose of
a drive and found tlio livery closed , their
admiration for the inspiring genius
waned perceptibly and they were con
verts to reason. If the mayor held a desire -
sire to punish the business of men wh
have boon political opponents , ho suc
ceeded , in so far as hotels wore con
cerned , for fifteen or twenty traveling
men took their grips and left on tbo
morning train for Omaha , bcshrowing n
town whcro they could not buy a cigar
ou Sunday. The closing was
very generally observed in tlio
morning bourn , and in two or throe cases
men went to 1 ivories whore they had
horses kept and could not got them. All
the cigar stands and drug stores wore
closed early in the day , but at 10 o'clock
J. H. Hurley opened fus doors and sold
ooda and cigars to all comers. Such a
trade has never been had on a Fourth of
July as his and at ono time , when the
marshal approached the scone , fully 200
people wcro congregated there. Other
drug stores opened at the same time and
Hovor.il of the cigar stands opened up for
business. The greater hardships were on
small dealers , many of whom had perishable -
able fruits but did not dare to open , and
saw their stock go to decay. A line and
law suit to them meant moro than they
cared to face. Judging from the fact
that there was no public demand or pub
lic expression , wanting lirorics closed
and fruit and ieo cream , cigar and soda
stands closed , the only conclusion the
public reaches is that the
mayor , finding the power that
the ordinance gave him , has
gone in to show what ho knows about
reform and enforcing law. The citizens
who aesircd a strict closing of saloons on
Sunday and of gambling houses will bo
greatly gratified to sco the municipal
powers transferred to presout channels.
while Colonel A. and Captain B. tire still
acquainted with tbo signal at the back
door. Hut to the thousand and moro
business men and workingmen who toil
indoors and out through the six days in
the week comes the greater hardship.
The fact that the mayor with his horse
and carnage , his lawns and green
houses , shall say to them that on Sunday
they shall not bo allowed to hire a car
riage and go forth in the open air for
rest and' recreation on the only day in
the week that la their own , is little short
of impudence and comprises a flavor of
aristocracy that common clay resents.
Not every man , even men with property
of their own , can afford to own a team ,
but they can bo ono of many in the com
mon principle of partnership wherein they
pay for and maintain the property of
ono. Expressions of this kind were fre
quent on every hand yesterday among
churchmen aim reputable people. It
was the voice of public opinion in the
face of winch the mayor Hies with hi.-
hobby.
The job rooms of the State Journal
wore in operation yesterday. The Jour
nal supported Mayor Sawyer at tholato
election.
At ono fruit stand it was reported that
a policeman took the key himself and
locked up the place.
Ono ice cream and soda stand placed
a tank of water in front of the door , la
baling it incident to the day.
One disgusted individual advertised his
business for sale with a card attached
that ho did not line to live in a como
tory.
tory.Keith Bros , attached a sign in front o
their cignr stand that raised the ire of a
Sawyer man , who scattered it upon the
walK.
A dozen or moro placards concerning
the whereabouts of the proprietors at
ditl'cront meetings of a religious oharao
tor wore posted at different places.
Bishop Skinner's livery barn and hi
church were open at one and the same
time.
The police were notified by tolophon
that the coroner's ofllco was open ana
' business being transacted.
All the talk late in the day was over
the repeal of the law , and it will bo a
Question before the city council to-night.
HACK KlUm WASHINGTON.
Attorney General Leeso returned yes
terday from Washington , where ho had
been to get the Bohannon murder case
advanced for hearing in the United
States bupromc court. Incidentally it
may bo remarked that the general
grasped the hand of the doughty Urovor ,
and that ho did not follow the qucon of
tno Sandwich Islands to that city. The
Bohannon case ho secured advanced for
a hearing on the 1st day of October , when
the final action in this remarkably pro
tracted case will bo had.
VOTINO UONDS ANI > VUANOIII3K.
To-day the city of Lincoln vote's upon
the question of granting a cable fran
chise to the newly organized cable street
railway company , and upon the question
of issuing 1100,000 in street paving bonds
for the paving of street intersections.
This latter proposition is of the greatest
importance to the city in its march of
improvements and will undoubtedly pre
vail by a largo majority. To the propo
sition for a cable franchise there scorns
to be no organized opposition , and it
will also undoubtedly carry.
DIKU OF HIS 1NJU1UK3.
The workman who was caught by the
caying in of a sewer Saturday and in-

WASIIINOTOK , May | .1. [ Correspond-
cnco of the BIK.J : The month of May
promises to bo the gayest and mo't bril-
iatit of the season. Of all of the months
of the year that are enjoyable , May is the
most charming , for then Washington is
seen in her loveliest attire , and all nature
is smilingly happy , there being no end
to resources for pleasure mil enjoy
ment , ( except on Sunday when all the
places arc shut up ) pcoplo catch the in
[ cctlon and are continually smiling and
joyously happy. The convention of
mine hosts" convenes about the 12th.
Our hotel men are already stocking up
for the occasion , and there is no doubt
tnit what our "town will bo painted red"
by the jolly roll-pollys. 1 , for one , foul
ashamed to have the landlords of the
cereal hotels of the west see our miserable
little shanties , compared with
their great city palaces. No rc-
llection upon Washington landlords ,
for they make the most , and
best of thuir patched up and pieccd-out
houses , and I am sure no bettor class of
men , or moro perfect gentlemen oan bo
found on the fueo of the globe iu thu pro
fession. And the Washington hotel man
has more to contend with and more to
try his lumper ( when congress is in ses
sion ) than their brothers in the ti ado
have in other big cities. Hero

d < > congregate , and somehow they take
advantage of the smiling countenance
that "nnuo host" Js perpetually adorned
with , to make him the bosom confidant ,
political adviser , social backer and
linancial bankrupt. It is a trying position
to put a man in , to father all the cranks
that como to Washington. Somehow
they thrive on it , for we haven't a lean ,
lank , sad faced landlord at the national
capital. There's C. W. Spoflbrd of the
Hiirgs house. Ho is about as broad
as lie is long in all things ,
so to speak. Is a Yankee ny
'trade ' , having opened his blue eyes in
the ice trading state of Maine , and known
whereof ho speaks when talking of Jim
Blalnc. Mr. Spofl'ord has the gift of
being true to his friends ( a rare gift in
this day and generation ) , frank with his
enemies , and generally delightful to his
guests , particularly the softer sex , who
may bo .seen gathering about him in the
rcceution parlor like Oecs about a freshly
blown cabbage rose. ' Mr. Spottbrd is
ably assisted by a splendid wife a mag
nificent looking wpnjan ono of the most
charitable ladies in all good works in
Washington. The /liggs / house is the
most modern of the U\adiug \ hotels hero ,
and kept at high water mark all the time ,
and just as neat as Yuhkccs know how
to make thing. Speaker and Mrs. Car
lisle linvo made their' homo at the Higgs
for several years during the sessions of
congress , as have many others of our
leading senators nnt ( members of the
house. "Sunset" Cox , when not keeping
house , also lives at the UiggH. But the
Higgs is not half large enough and coed
enough for Mr. SpolVord to handle.
Theie is talk of a now ; largo house being
built for him , which we devoutly pray
for.
Then comes Mr. Kossolo , of the Arling
ton hotel. Ho claims to bo the classic
beauty of the hotel trade in Washington.
1IK 18 A HUWirCHlNG WIDOWKIt
of about fifty-live or more winters.
Ho appears and looks younger , and
ladies do pronounce him the handsomest
man of his age in town. Ho certainly is
a handsome man , and none are moro in
telligent upon that subject than is Mr.
Rossnlo himself. Should judge about six
feet tall , splendid physique , fine head
adorned with white , curly hair and al
together good looking. His attire is
faultless , his address distinguished , his
attentions to his guests moat polite and
pleasing. Especially docs ho have the
art of pleasing the ticklish tempered
artists and stars of the theatrical pro
fession. The leading ones usually stop
at Tlio Arlington. Crjsp , cold , bright
afternoons in winter Landlord Hosselo
may bo seen sauntering down the ave
nue clad in a magnificent long , black
overcoat , trimmed with black fur , with
a cap to match and aatnty feet incased
in overshoes embroidered with gay col
ored bonds. Ho has the air of a man who
is perfectly contented with himself.
THE NKXT IN LINE
who is making every ollbrt to shine up
that old ark of n house , and make the
landlords convention a blooming success ,
is Mr. Staples , of Willard's hotel. What
an old ark that house is , and how much
polishing and rubbing up it docs take
every year to make it "good as new ! "
Yet there are some fond recollections ,
some rare bits of old gossip , that
would make good reading , of the
distinguished people who have passed
down the hill of tame nnd glorv. How
many "ceck-tails" and cock-robin tales
have been mixed at Willarrf's famous bar
and are still being mixed , for men will
be men just as they always wore in the
day.s gene bv when cock-tails sharpened
politicians wits for making presidential
candidates. "Willard's" has long been
the Doiiticat headquarters of those who
make up the slates for a now congress. If
those old rickety walls could talk what
fccrets they might divulge. But walls
don't talk , and tlio landlord won't
give his distinguished guests away , us
long as they march up promptly to the
captain's desk and settle. "Enterprising
men" of all kinds stop at U'lllmrd's
and , at times , bets run high. No doubt
there is
MOIIK HKTTINT ANty DIUNKINO DONE
at Milliard's than any other hotel in
Washington. At 4 o'clock In the after
noon , when the departments "lot out , "
all the sports in town'gither in front of
Willard's to see the jirotty treasury girls
pass by. It is a foarrnl gauntlet for a
modest girl to run that of walking by
these glaring , bold-fachd , ogling follows ,
who are sure to make mdelecate re
marks loud enongh tb'be ' heard. I have
often thought when pissing by Williard's
corner Fourteenth street and Pennsyl
vania avenue , whore ' 'itll ttia swells do
huddle together , puffing their cigars into
ladies' faces , and sucking their canes ,
that the "Society for Pruvonting Cruelty
to Animals" should bo , notified , or , that
they should bo removed as a public nuis
aiico. .
Mr. Staples is a young man , just in the
reign of manhood. 1U $ lady guests think
him pretty , and are delighted when ho
goes the rounds of his dining room
to look after the interest of his guests ,
to have him ston and chat awhile. It is
a pleasing way he has , that of making
each guest fool that ho is looking after
bis own special comfort. Our notable
men and women of Washington have a
spice of vanity in them , I am glad to
say , thus making all the world kin , and
mine host of Willard's well understands
how to feed such people ,

pick their teeth at the Kbbitt house.
As these orphans of tlio government are
usually born tired , they don't stand out
side on the pavemQi\t \ to jostle passers by
but sit the live long day in the glass
front reading room and nurse their el-
bowu on the arms of Its chairs. Luxur
ies conducive to nonenity may bo
found m the Ebbitt house reception
ind rending room. l'oi > uirfs , the
; reat , small , distinguished mitt other
wise , generals , admirals , captain ? , eta. ,
liavc put up at the Kbbitt homo nnd held
councils ot war therein. The amount
of brn s which adorns these
pompoiu Individuals is dazillug to the
untutored countryman , aud the dashing
society belles. At the Ebhett may
always bo found many "managing
imimtmH" with marriageable daughters.
Should these marriageable daughters be
blest-oil with "tho dot , " they tire soon
gobbled up by some captain in the army
or lieutenant in the navy. The navy 1ms
tlio best showing of lieutenants to begotten
gotten rid of. Whitney makes this fash *
lonablo , and the Ebbctt house glass front
abounds with them. This ancient old
lira-trap is also a favorlto place for con
gressmen who haven't their families with
them , and have taken rooms near by. V
and ( . } streets , which are in the nests of
these four leading hotels , are lined with
houses with "rooms to rent. " These lo
cations being near nil * the departments ,
nro eagerly taken up by public men.
Most of our wealthy men in high public
life have their private re.Vidoucos. A few
years ago it was the fashion in Washing
ton to have expensive parlors at our
leading hotels , the responsibility of enter
taining was not so great. ' But
now ho or she who entertains the most
ami best at home , is the greatest lion or
lamb of the hour. Wo eat nud drink
thuir goodies and are thankful to the ex
tent of our selfish capacity. Here we
measure hospitality by the joy it gives us
personally. And , alasl when the great
change comes that wines out all great
ness hero at the national capital , that of
electing : v now administration and a
change in the political power of congress ,
wo forget the people whose dinners we
have gorged ourselves with. It is the
fate of nil. Farther down town , once the
political and fashionable center of our
city is the
OLD MICK NHUU.ni ) NATIONAL HOTI'.L.
It was once yellow in color , and how
many other varieties of paint it has had
n dosn of I know not. Now it is drab
witli brovyn trimmings , and is making a
feeble ollbrt to appear young and in the
hey-day of prosperity. Of all hotels in
\Viisliington the old National bus housed ,
fed , and taken care of , under trying circumstances -
cumstancos , most distinguished men
and women of the past. Even in
my day , the National hotel has been the
center of presidents , auch as Vice Presi
dent Henry Wilson , acting Vice Presi
dent David Davis and Senator Ferry ,
old Thad Stevens nnd many others fami
liar to history. It was at this hotel that
David Davis fell in love with the lady ho
married and left a widow ; it was at this
hotel that Senator Ferry had his little
romance of falling in love with another
man's wife and got his face pumellod ; it
was at the National that Judge Matthews
fell in love with his present charming
wife over a game of whist. There have
been love romances enough hatched in
that old tavern to keep a novel writer
stocked with material lor twenty years ,
and then the half would not be told.
And for the good it has done , some of
our distinguished men still make their
homo there during the winter , in spite of
the harrowing talcs told of escaping
sewer-gas poison , and the midnight
frolics of rats a.id mice. Senators Black
burn , of Kentucky , Brown , of Georgia ,
Berry and Jones , of Arkansas ,
with their families , together with
many prominent members of the house.
While tlio rooms are dingy and moth-
eaten by timo. Mr. ( Jenny who lias so
long presided over the caprices of the
wanting public in general , nnd catered
to the fickle appetites of the potted heroes
of the day in particular , still sets one of
the best tables in } \ ashington , as far as
quality'and quantity of food goes. Being
near the depots , railroad and business
men make this there place to hang up
their grip-sacks. There are other less
historical hotels in Washington I might
talK about , giving their special attrac
tions ( boarding houses I'll nandlo an
other time ) but space forbids. There is
room enough and pcoplo enough in
Wasliington , counting those who como
and go by the hundreds , to support largo
magnificent hotels , nnd why we don't
have them is a question asked daily by
the traveling public. Wo are still a little
old fashioned in our ideas of taverns , but
wo hope for modern improvements.
This is * not an advertisement but a warn
ing to the western hotel man not to ex
pect to have rooms on the u'rst floor as
largo as a good sized village while being
entertained in Washington. CON.
Only twice before has the bishop of
Connecticut hold the seniority in the
Episcopal house of Bishops. Bmliop Sea-
bury was senior bishop from 1784 to 1708 ,
and Bishop Browncll from 1853 to 1805.
When the present senior bishop. Bishop
Williams , was consecrated in 1851 there
were thirty-four bishops older than him
self.
