The Largest Hotel in the World.
San Francisco News Lette,

-Four years and a half ago the Palace
hotel began "running;;" 5,OOO,O 600 had
been spent in is construction and equip
ment, and it then seemed as if such an
enormous outlay could never be recov-
cred, much less be made to come back
with interest. Wiseacres by the le-
glon predicted the speedy collapse OF
the vast enterprise, and even tar-seelng
business men shake their heads doubt
ingly. The palace, they said, was q
town in itself; San Francisco already
possessed several first-class and very
large hotels; to erect another on such
an, enormous scale would be money
thrown away, Notwithstanding the fond
ness of California for living in hotels
and the vast stream of visitors which
constantly flows into the city. The
projectors Of the palace, however,
thought different. They were men of
boundless energy and enterprise, and
a very important item-Were possessed
of great wealth. They were convinced
that such all institution as the palace
could but be made to pay, and, having
reached that conclusion, carried their
gigantic scheme out to the end with an
uIQ:luiltCe vigil NlllCAl stoUo1AIohCu Vic
world. Let us see how right they were
in their Judgment. Last Sunday, the
palace hotel housed ,l22 guests, and
when we say housed" we mean that
this vast number of people were lodged
and fed with all the luxury that money,
taste and modern invention can supply.
Since the day mentioned the cry has
continually been, "Still they come" ..but
the answer has perforce been themourn-
full one given to the ten foolish virgins:
''Too late, too late, We cannot enter
now" and the applicants were forced
to seek shelter in less favored caravan
saries. For even the number reached
on Sunday sufficed to fill "the biggest
hotel in the world'' to its utmost ca
pacity, though it was not until after the
rooms of the employees had been press
ed into service, and the servants sent to
find quarters outside, that the manage
ment inexorably refused to admit more
guests. This, we may remark, is the
first time that the palace has been quite
full, but it looks very much as if q state
of repletion is to be it's normal condi-
ton henceforward.

An Ancient Jutland Tomb.

possible to trace the dress, which had
been interviewer with gold thread.
Across the chest were laid two bands
Of gold lace, on the top of which again
were laid some ornaments composed of
colored glass beads, some having an
outer shell of gold leaf, and several cut
like diamonds, as we'll as small peforat

To terror. As for the young gentle
