coInpels me to say that it was one OF the
largest, most respectable and enthusiastic
meetings ever held within the walls of the
Cooper Institute. What effect it may have
upon the Chicago convention ] neither
know nor care; but the scandalous perVer-
sion Of faet by the New York World and
other great dailies in their report of that
meeting is disgrace to American jour
nalism. .
This seems to be perfect paradise for
adventures of all sorts. A female came
to grief on Wednesday who has been
victimizing our hotel keepers here for
months. Her plan was to order magnifi-
cent suit eof rooms, for she was a woman
of taste and wanted nothing but the best.
1t m catered very little whether the charge
was $50 or $500 per week; it was all the
same to her. At one hotel her carriage bill
for the week was $125, and at another,
where she only stopped few hours, a
livery bill was SIG. This week she was
arrested as sWindler, and under our
stringent hotel act she will doubtless do the
State some service for couple of years at
least, ct one of our public institutions,
where she will have an opportunity of COM
pairing the accommodations with those of a
first-class hotel The study may not be
pleasant; let us hope it will be profitable.
Now that settling day has come no doubt
it will be interesting reading when Mr..

stealing there is no question. How many

grateful sight to this community to see a
dozen at least of these sanctimonious rascals
inside the walls of the State prison; they
would then be where they belong.
The past few days have been scorchers
Linen coats and sun umbrellas have been

The style of our royal family in New

Siamese Embassy. The flavor of whiskey
and onions which distinguishes the average
New York Alderman, would scarcely pass
muster in Bangkok; but our visitors are
polite and make no remarks, taking what
they get with apparent thankfuiness.
