anecdote which heard from them of u ne

THE Old Columbian.

The writer read your article in last
SUNDAYS issue upon the subject OF no
tells in Richmond in former days, and
he was greatly entertained and edi
fed thereby; but ne thinks that the
notice given the old Columbian Hotel,
which occupied The space upon which now
stands the Columbian Block, was too mea-
gre TO do il anything like the justice its
reputation among those who knew it de-
mands OF the chroniclcr OF the present day.
The writer boarded there from about the
wear 1910 to 1913. II was then under the
proprictorship Of James NJ. Sublett and
the late Zachariah Brooks, the former being
manager in chief. The table was always
bountiiully supplied with edibles OF the
most superior quality, served ih the true
Old Virginia style, and placed upon the
table at which the patrons Of the hotel sat.
Glass pitchers OF fine old whiskey toddy
were distributed from one end Of the table
to the other. and within easy reach OF every
boarder. The base OF this delicious COM
pound was none OF your modern juvenile
stun called whiskey. but genuine, unadul-
tcratcd, fM grOlcn "SpirituS trimenti." :"
This is not intended for the eye OF the
boarder OF the present day.
MANY OF the best people from every por-
tion OF the State came to this hotel, either
on horseback, in stick-glgs, or in vehicles
OF other kinds. The ladies were elegantly
entertained by Mrs. Brooks in the private
apartment. \ hotel offering such unusual
attractions could not fail 10 meet with an
immense patronage, and such was the case
in this instance. The writer has no

Master Putnam's Fate.

DANENHOwER THINKS HIS DEATH NOT A
POREGOSE CONCLUsION--CHANCES OF HIS
ESCAPE.
The following, dated 22d instant, is from
the Washington correspondent OF the New
York Herald:
Lieutenant Danenhower claims that the
announcement Of Master Putnam's death il
premature. In support Of this opinion he
says:
" Master Putnam when last seen was on
an ice-foe seven miles off St. Lawrence
bay. subsequently Master Waring found
four dogs that belonged to Putnam's sled
somewhere between st. Lawrence and
Providence bay. From the reports we I'M
derstand that Putnam had sled with dogs,
and il is fair to suppose that he had some
thing on that sled in the way OF provisions
and arms. In that ease we know from eX-
perience that men drifting on ice-iloes have
supported life for as much as six months.
lie must have driited south, rs Waring
found the dogs in that direction.
CHANCES Oe HIS LANDING.
al should not be surprised il he was en-
abled TO land on ST. Lawrence Island, and
hone that the rcvcnuc-cutter will be or
dered TO look for him there. ! will not
give up hope until the return OF the whalers
next autumn. think Master Putnam had
some natives with him, and that makes his
chances better. IT must be remembered
that Putnam got adcift in February,
when the northern half Of Behring sea
is generally well covered with ice-iloes.
Sometimes they extend far south OF st. Law
renee Island. IL he reached that island at
all. II was doubtless in March, for the ice
in that vicinity breaks up in April. There
are said TO be lots OF bears on the island.
/ have Just examined Professor Halls Ia
test current chart, but nothing definite is
shown as tn what may be expected Of the cur
rents. have also Just examined Behring
Sea Directory, where find the following
about st. Lawrence Island: I'VE have no
detailed description Of the shores or capabil-
ities Of the island. The foregoing are the prin-
cipal facts relating TO il scattered through the
works. 1t has some desultory informa-
tion quoted from Cook. They speak OF no
inhabitants, although it is Il very extensive
island and desert waste. am quite sure
that Master Putnam has the grit Of old
General Putnam himself, and will pull
through il he has the slightest show"
At the Navy Department the opinion Is
expressed that Master Putnam will never
be heard from, and that Il search Tor him
would be fruitlcss.
