a CITY WITHIN WALLS

The Great Hotel fer working We.
mea BHtls by 4. r. Stewart Ready
sO Open.
New YJRK, February 2s.-The grea,
hotel for women who live BY labor, which
was begun by \. I. Stewart, and has been
completed BY Mrs. Stewart and Judge Hill
ton, Is almost ready for use now, and it is
expected that it will be opened about the
middle of next month. Ii is q whole city
within four walls, having more than 500
sleeping rooms, making its own gas and
having its own we'll.
1t is being fitted up with every known
appliance of comfort, and is even furnished
with
GOOD SIZED LIBRARY.
Ii evidently will not be an institution for
pauPers, or, on the other hand. home for
weil-to-do women who would like the COM
fort and security Of such a home, but it is
to be as comfortable ard apparently as lux
urious As first class hotel. The cost of
accommodations, while beyond the means
OF very many Of the poorer Glaze of working
women, will be easily within the reach Of y
l9fge class who are much in need of such
shelter.

The Cherry Creek stage Robbery

Referring 10 the Cherry Greek stage
robbery in November last, tho White
Pine Nccs says that notwithstanding
the discharge OF the four mon arrested
on suspicion at the time, little doubt rs
to their guilt, existed, and detectives
were sent to tho locality to scent the
culprits. Tho Ncrs learns that ono OF
these detectives entered Cherry Greek
on foot, his brecchcs patched with
gunny.sncks, aud his appearance gen.
orally indicating "hard case" lie
frequonted tho saloons. danced in the
hurdy.housc. made the acquaintance of
the rough element Of Cherry Creeks
newly acquired population, and ms he
seemed to have coin plenty and to
dispense ii freely, he became u groat
fayorito among the babitucs OF Cherry
Creeks CLOVER levels" But suddenly,
n iow mornings ago, without word
Of farewell to his boon companions, he
lit ont, TO where. no one knew. But
his sudden disappearance seems TO
have led certain parties TO think that
thoy had not been entertaining "nn
angel unawaros," and they too thought
IL bost TO "tako walk" in different
directions. But the net was so skill.
folly set that no escape IVES possible.
Lnst Wednesday morning George vii.
son was arrested here ms he stepped Off
the Cherry Creek stage. ard about the
same time Dec. Bell was arrested In
Eureka. and the "Kid" and another
party wero arrested ut Wells, for the
robbery Of tho mails above mentioned.
IL is pretty certain that testimony
enough has been procured against the
parties arrested 10 secure conviction,
for Uncle Sans detectives never do
things by halves.
