FAT HOTEL BlLLS.

Cincinnati Enquirer.)
I was chatting with well-posted
hotel man tonight Who was telling
me about the prices paid by some of
the guests. "The Hoffman House,"
said he, "has a guest who pays $115 a
week for his rooms, or over SIG a day
Admiral Maxse, Of the English
Navy. His service and meals are
extra, and must bring his bills well up
to 5000 q week for himself alone.
John w. Mackay pays 500 a week
for rooms at the Hoffman. When
James McHenry, the London railroad
man, was over here on New York,
Pennsylvania and Ohio business, he
paid $50 day for suite of rooms
with private service and table at the
Victoria Hotel. IT was the same suite
of rooms that President Cleveland
occupied when he held his famous
Victoria Hotel conference to get &C.
quainted with the prominent Demo-
Gratis of the country. There is a Mr..
Dean at the Fifth Avenue Hotel whose
bills are about $50 day. He is a re-
tired Californian, and has family and
several servants, He has been there
all winter. The Windsor frequently
has guests who require service amount
ing to $50 or $50 day. Nine. Barr
rios, the widow of the Central Ameri-
can warrior, was one of the heaviest
paying guests New York hotel has
ever known. She stopped at tho
Langham, where her numerous family
and large retinue of servants brought
her daily expenses up to at least $780,"

ApprOpus Of the proposed rail road
commission humbuggery, the New Or

of rail road information possessed by
Its members, and they give men who

An Egyptian papyrus, forty-two feet
long, containing all the chapters of the
"Book of the Dead" has just been re-
ceived and unrolled at the Sage Ii

Pretty Miss Lamar.

WASHINGTON Oct. 2S.-Among the
"Cabinet rosebuds" who will blossom
out into society here this winter, the
most attractive by far is Miss Jennie
Lamar, the eighteen-year-old daughter
of the Secretary Of the Interior. She
is already known in society, since she
has been for year the chief social sup
port of her widower father. She is IA
typical Southern beauty. Her form is
somewhat tall, 1.-the and willowy; her
movements particularly graceful, and
her manner marked by the peculiar
high culture observable in blue-blooded
Southern ladies. She has an oval face,
almost perfect in contour, olive COM
plexion, a pretty rosebud mouth and
velvety brown Dyes, which are Won
derfully expressive. AS converser
she has few equals here, while in the
matter of social tact those who have
been at her fathers receptions say that
she is like a veteran society woman.

named James Haynes and n colorcd
woman named Mary Jackson applied
for work as cotton pickers at n planta'
ton in Bolivar county, Miss, last
Wednesday. They said they came
from Coahoma station, in the same
county. They were set at work. It
seems that they kept rather to them
selves. Friday morning the body OF
the woman was found. She had been
murdered and mutiatcd in a most
horrible manner and her clothes set on
fire.
Haynes was suspected and at once
arrested. He virtually confessed his
guilt. of which there was already
overwhelming circums.antial proof.
The officers Of the law took him TO
the neighboring little town Of Browns
vile, intending to take him to Jail as
soon as convenient.
Saturday night mob of colored
people, in quiet, well organized fash
ion, came TO the village, captured
Haynes from the guard, and took him
and hung him in the most approved
and expeditions lynch law style. Then
the mob quietly dispersed.
Nobody seems to know or care who
they were.

Illopcd with Another Mans Wife.

RED BANK, N. j., Oct. 28.-Thi'
town was considerably surprised this
morning on the discovery that Fred )
Rockwell. manager of the New YORK
Tea store here, had elopod with the
wife of Sidney b. West, clerk in W.
II. Corl,e's clothing store. Rockwells
wife was some time ago taken sick, and
In hopes of change for the better was
taken TO ncr mothers home ut New
Haven. Conn. The sickness develop
into insanity, and she is now in the
state asylum of Connecticut. Mrs. JAG
ques. mother of Mrs. West, kept house
for Rockwell. who was very frequent
visitor at Mrs. Vests, and it was said
by the town gossips that something
startling would soon occur. Icster-
day afternoon Rockwell left town on
north-hound train for the purpose,
he said. OF taking his little four-ycar-
old son. Ben. to his grandmothcr's at
NOW IiuNeu. NILS. Ntst, WIN N"u"'
a sweet eight-ycar-old daughter, nc
companicd them. Las. night Mr..
West received letter from his wife
stating that she had gone away with
Rockwell, because he loved her. and
that her husband had given her no
cause whatever for her rash act. The
letter had been mailed in Jersey City.
On its receipt Mr.. West sent Consta-
bic Frank Patterson after the couple
to get possession of his little girl. The
occurrence is undoubtedly another re-
suit o: the evil influences of the skat
ing rink. Last winter Rockwell was
manager Of the Monmouth Rink here,
and il was while he was in this capaci-
ty that his wife developed insanity.
Mr.. West is heartbroken over the az
fair.

Blu Nye on His Birthplace.

A man ought not to criticise his
birthplace, | presume, and yet if [ were
to do it all over again, do not know
whether | would select that very spot
or not, and yet, what memories clu stel
about that old house. There was
where first met my parents. L was
at that time that an acquaintance
sprang up which has ripened in latter
years into mutual respect and esteem
1t was there that what might be termed
a causual meeting took place that has,
under the alchemy of resistless years,
turned to golden links, forming plea,
SAINT but powerful bond of union be-
tween my parents and myself. For
that reason l hope that I may be spared
to my parents for many years to come.
There on that spot, with no inheritance
but a predisposition to premature bald
ness and bitter hatred to rum; with
no personal property but mis6t sus-
pender and stone bruise, began life
history which has never ceased to be a
warning to people who sell groceries
on credit.
