that will be needed to pay her
board in advance, and should sick
ness supervene even for a single
week we might expect to see the
poor-house ambulance carrying her
to the benevolent protection Of
Bellevue.
IF an unfortunate mother should
arrive in New York with her family,
unless she has certificate of moral
character herself and the birth GER
tifcates of every one Of her chill
dren, she is not an eligible boarder.
No second-class aGdavits will pass
inspection here, and the youngest
of her children must not be under
twelve years of age. Applications
for rooms must be respectfully in
dorsed, and made several days in
advance. Her path is beset with
thorns and brambles if she happens
to own a canary, while anything
like a Thomas cat OF pet poodle
is by statute especially tabooed.
IF some unfortunate wretch with a
limited wardrobe should happen to
wash a pocket handkerchief in her
bedroom, nothing but the pehiten-
tiary could expiate the ofense,
while driving a nail in the wall
could only be atoned for by State S
prison.
Shade of Elias Howe, on whose
magnificent curly wig and incom,
prehensible breeches have looked
at with such awe and admiration,
what have you done to be treated
with such contemptuous disrespect
in Stewards Women's Hotel?-no
sewing machines in any of the
rooms, says rule number seven!
Isaac Singer, you might just as
we'll have bottled up your genius,
for the Women's Hotel fails to re,
cognize the extent of your bene'
factions to mankind and the de-
calogue is silent as to whether they
will allow any needles and thread,-
this latter enormity being held, un
doubtedly, for future consideration
The character of the rules which
these aristocratic managers have
laid down for the government Of
this latest Stewart speculation, is
quite worthy Of the power which
excluded from the Grand Hotel al
Saratoga the representative man Of
an opposing faith. Judge Hilton
has right to do as he likes witt
his own, and to regulate his OWL
household according to his whims
and fancies. Whether he or Mrs
A. T. Stewart is the moving power
is a matter of little consequence
but to a casual observer it would
seem that the life Of a negro on {
Southern plantation would be glo
rious freedom alongside Of the
slavery of the so-called Women''
Hotel. The hotel itself may be
paradise but before it's magnifcen
portal stands an angel with a fam
ing sword guarding it foreve:
against the miserable children o
wretchedness, suffering, and want
I hope, for the honor Of the fre'
women of my country, that ther'
are few in this great city who vii
need to partake of it's benefits, ant
trust that they may find friendl.,

shelter with loving hearts which
these people fail to understand.
have sufficient confidence in Judg
Hilton's financial ability to belieV
that he will make it trealize it's sever

benefactions, so that the plethori

be a source of unfailing Joy. In ad
dition to the rules already laif
down, I would suggest that tn
pockets of the dodgers be searched
on entering or leaving the hotel
and this, with occasional use of tn
shower-bath, and wholesome ap
plication of the stretcher, nigh
make it rank, in point of discipline
with the Albany Penitentiary or th
Auburn State Prison.
Two of the boldest st'robberies O
