in this, as in the number of meals, about
six luxurious meals every day,
as are given at the Grand Central, should
afford the amplest opportunity for the most
confirmed gourmet. At the best, the choice
seems then to be mere fancy,o or PROBABLY
a curiosity, to see and enjoy the iatest ana
grandest effort of the ambitious ana opul-
ent proprietors of these splendid palaces.
And apropos of this, many fresh decora-
tons have Just been added to the interior
of the Grand Central Hotel. The beauti-
full fresco- work, especially, that adorns the
principal halls, the richly furnished par
lors, the grand dinning-room, etc., under
the hand of skilled artists, has been rem
dered more beautiful than ever. Other
designs have also been carried out, until il
would seem that the most refined and lib.
eral taste could hardly find room to suggest
fresh improvement. After all, however
it may be the price-an important item in
these panicy times-which finally decides
the matter of selection And on this
point we must admit that, among the
Broadway hotels, the Grand Central being
the largest and the most lavishly furnish,
ed, is the most moderate of them all in the
ratio Of its charges. 1t furnishes the same
and better, accommodations, by charging
according to the location of the room, al
from one to two dollars per day less thar
other first-class hotels that rank with it il
style and appointments. 1t seems that {
keen study of the wants of the travelling
public, aided by lavish purse and the
courage to expend it, has influenced Mr.
Powers to effect, in a quiet but persisten
way, this important and welcome change
plan, we may add, well appreciated anC
enjoyed by those who seek there the lux
uries of hotel life on Broadway, New York

whole building will cover Is acres
and be 1888 feet long 454 feet wide.
The plan for the permanent or

A Vigilance Committee Wanted at
Carson.

The Carson Tribune advocates
the formation of a vigilance COM
mittee in that town. 1t says: sin
this little country town not a night
passes but some hoodlum endea-
vors to force his way into private
residences. Complaints of the
kind are brought to us, and we
can suggest no remedy beyond
the free useOf cold steel and leaden
pills. Let the people get together
and organize the mselves into a
protective Society. The ruffians
will soon learn the fact and govern
themselves accordingly. The
town ordinances proved a farce,
and there is no other way than
to organize vigilance committee
for the protection of citizens"

had not the presence of mine to
step to one side, so he let himself
down through the cross ties at
arms length. The train passed
over him. Then he tried to get
up. He couldn't do it. Ali was
up with him. He chung with
might and main until the veins
on his forehead swelled like whip
cords, and his muscles writhed
liked paper bag full oil black
snakes. Nature could stand it no
longer. He made up his mind to
die bravelv. Probobly he thought
of the bad things that he done
during his life, and was sorry for
them. He said his little "now 1
lay me" clear through. and nerved
himself for desperate fall. With
"a wild, despairing yell he loosen

fall did not hurt him. He wac

Incendiarism in Chicago.

CHICAGO, July 2Sth.-An ct
tempt at incendiarism was dis
covered yesterday at No. zig
North Clark street. in a house
occuniad nv Nicholas Sta'asden as
2 hardware store aud dwelling.
A Lighted candle was placed in a
pile Of clothing, saturated with
kerosene oil. From this ran a
train of rags soaked in kerosene
to two kegs of powder, one of
which was open. When diScOv-
cred, the fire had made great pro-
gress, ana would have soon reach;
ed the powder. Strasden has
been arrested Qua charge of arson
and attempt at murder, and his
bail fixed at $4,000. He appears
to be an old offender, and. the
people tonight threatened to
hang him. His house was IN
sured beyond its worth, in the
North British Mercantile Com
pany.
Our fellow citizen who read all
the kilograms and articles about
the Beecher-Tilten scandal, ana
then lost his sanity and after that
his piety, does no credit to san
Francisco. He imagined that II
Beecher proved to be naughty. all
ecclesiastical institutions must be
shams. That is giving the pet
preacher of Brooklyn more I'M,
portance than he is fairly entitled
to. David took Bathsheba after
sending Uriah into "the forefront
of the hottest BATTLE" and Peter
denied his Master and though
they were both important person
ages in their respective ages, the
Church went on just as If they
had never been guilty of any pee
tcadillos. The excitement about
the present scandal will convey
the idea to foreign nations that
such a sin as that charged in this
case is entirely novel and very as
tonishing in the United States
