As fad yesterday, in latter years. the hue dw.Iln.
of Boss Walton he was called in old Dutch psrl
has been used for hoto purposes, and strange 4
may teem has had its cay in that ne it first hat
as private resdenos. In Goodrichs picture of Nsa
York published in 1921 read the following notice
under the head of Principal Hotels" in the ,ity:--
"Wslton Hou.e, No. 326 Pearl street between PECK
slip and Dover street In Franklin square, kept by
Bachus. Prices, 81 per day, IS per week, $3.50 pei
year"
For he last few years this famous place has beer
used as emigrant boarding house. and its stately
balls, orce tired by those in whose veins flowed thu
blood of the nobility, have resounded with the
re,elry of noisy forescers and been dskensd BY tn.
dsmo'ratic smoke Of huge Dutch tobacco pipes. 1t
yesterday made fuel for consuming nAne and nothing
of it now remains but the ruins Of what 1t was-tqi
