REsPoNsIBIL1TY OF HOTEL KEEpERs.-The
Commercial Advertiser, OF New York, has been
impressed with the responsibilities resting upon
the keepers of large hotels, during the prev
alence of an epidemic; responsibilities, re-
marks the editor, always heavy enough, but
which, at such times rs the present in that city.
are onerous indeed The editor thus proceeds :
Take, for instance, the Aston House, or the
Irving, or the st. Nicholas, with its nightly en-
campment of seven hundred guests, and then
imagine how such men as Coleman and Stetson,
Bradley and Burroughs, and Treadwell and
Acker-gentlemen known to be governed by be-
nevolent sympathies as well as by commercial
integrity--can be Indifferent to the vast respon-
sibilities which their positions involve. If any
one supposes that these responsibilities are
light, let him step into the reading rooms and
other accessible portions of these hotels; let
him note the crowd, its mixed character, its le-
gion-like multitudes, the quick and eager tenn
permanent of many, the unrestrained independ-
ence Of all, and the posssble recklessness of
some: and then remember that all these are to
be housed under one roof; that, come safety or
peril sickness or health, their persons and prop
erty are to be entrusted to the keeping of the
proprietors of the hotel; and he will find album
dant reason for changing his opinion and admit
ting that upon no class Of citizens rest heavier
responsibilities than upon our large hotel keep
ers; and we may add that by none are their
responsibilities more honorably and satisfacto-
rily met. ss#
