well conducted hotel. The kitchen,

On the second and third floors Of the
hotel building are the ladies' and
gents parlors. Both rooms and sleep.

and newly furnished. The Brussels car
pets are Of the newest and prettiest
patterns. There is no distinction
made In the fitting up Of the rooms

every respect to the ones below. The
furniture in the ladies' parlor, from
