ing about the family that owned the
Lindell House Not quite year ago
Mr.. Henry Ames died in St. Paul, Min
nesota, of paralysis. He left the hotel
to his only son, a lad Of some ten OF
twelve years, while his wife and daugh-
ter we're each provided with handsome
fortunes. Many of the young ladies Of
this city Will remember Miss Ames, who
was educated at one of our fashionable
up-town boarding-schools In 1862 2-3-4.-
Mr.. Ames accumulated his vast wealth BY
filling large Government contracts during
the var, he being engaged in the pork
packing business. He was in company
with his brother, Mr.. Edgar Ames, who
still carries on the business. Mrs. Edgar
Ames is said to be the finest looking wO-
nan in st. Louis. The loss Of the hotel,
although a serious one, does not impOv-
