THE FEELING THE BRIGHTON HOTEL.
Considerable curiosity was felt concerning the sem
t,ment of Breslin 4 Sweet, of the Hotel brighton,
and the crowds that filled that favored spot looked
as though they rather expected some kind of demon
htraton. Colonel Breslin and Major Sweet were
found in their private Office reading the HERALD
and laughing immediately. In response to a
question Colonel Bresin said:-"There isn't any
Joke about this. is there? II it's sober fact it's
great mistake. have been in this business all my
life and have yet found it necessary wise
to discriminate against any CLASS OF men. We don't

Decent men always welcome; roughs We don't

To which Major Sweet considerably answered,

that Mr.. Corbin has either been inisreprosented or
