EXQUISITE WORK.
A Book Which SURPRISES in Elegance
the Best Partisan Product.

Picturesque Venice" is the title OF a
book got out for the holiday trade by a
New York firm which is perhaps the
finest piece of work ever shown by an
American printing house. In the me-
chanical sciences America usually leads
the world but in extremely fine tint work
France has hitherto been far ahead. The
colored e~ngravings of the Parisians have
been marvels of mechanical skill and I'M
approachable in the artistic blending of
colors.
Picturesque Venice is the first Amer.
lean book we have ever seen which not
only equals but surpasses the best efforts
OF the French press. The coloring Of its
pictures is strikinRly artistic and the
colors blend into each other so beautifully
as to charm the eye and fascinate the
senses.
The book may be found among the ex-
quisite collection at Rhodes & Troxell' s
drug store and it is well worth the time of
every lover of artistic work to call and

QUITE A BLAZE.
The Myers Residence in the West End
DESTROYED by Fire.

Fire totally destroyed the residence of
J. W. Myers. at the corner of Twenty
fifth and Snyder streets at 10 o'clock list
night.
A high wind prevailed and the air was
filled with dust when the alarm was
turned in from the West End school
house. The iremen hurried to the scene,
but their efforts awaited little on account
of the great distance from the center of
the city and because OF the scarcity of fire
plugs in that locality. Hose was stretched
and water played on the ruins. The
hooks pulled down the walls as a pre-
cautionary measure.
Mr.. Myers, who is a shoemaker, was at
his shop on Eddy street when the fire
started. His wife and several children
were in the building. They say the
flames were first seen at a chimney near
the center of the building, which was
quite a pretentious cottage.
The fire spread so rapidly that it was
impossible to save any of the furniture.
Some earnest rescuer cut a hole in the
side of the house and removed a trunk
and an upholstered chair. but nothing else
was gotten out.
The house was fairly well furnished and
a considerable stock of winter supplies had
been stored in the cellar, but everything
was lost.
Insurance to the amount of 81, 900 was
carried on the house aud $3.50 on the fur
niture, SO the loss to Mr.. Myers Is not so
great as it might have been.
Neighbors kindly cared for Mrs. Myers
and the children.
A big crowd braved the wind storm and
walked out to the fire.

IN THE LEAD.
Such May be Said of the Elegant Inter
Ocean'HoteI.

1t matters not whether a person be
born.in a Southern cline or in the Arctic;
whether he be white or black; whether ne
be rich or poor; whether he be in rags or
broadcloth, he is, in the language of the
i'm mortal Robert Burns "a mans a man
for a that" 1t is men that make the
world and if short In duty a falling back
may be experienced to the detriment of
the entire commonwealth. But it is very
fortunate that we have in our community
men who have dared to do and dare; men
who have braved the dangers of the from
tier; men who. before it was generally
known that such could be the case, plucked
the fairest flowers from the mountain 5
crests ten thousand feet above the heav-
lug waters of the Atlantic or the placid
waters of the Pacific which grid the
Golden Gate.
In our city there are many such pioneers,
but at this time we can only refer to one,
Mr.. John Chase, the proprietor OF the
Inter Ocean hotel which is acknowledged
to be tn. largest and most finely furnished
of any IN the territory. 1t contains l20
large and well ventilated sleeping rooms.
besides reception rooms, parlors, etc., and
is in every way a model of convenience.
The house is lighted throughout with
both gas and electricity. Hot and cold
water can be procured from the faucets IN
every wash bowl, and an elegant reading
room is attached.
Throughout the building tie floor is
laid with the finest of English tiling,
which which looks so delicate that apon
entering you hesitate to step upon it, but
when accustomed to it you lose your
modesty and believe the beautiful floor to
be as lasting as the granite hills.
Mr.. Chase has a corps of competent
cooks, polite walters and o%bliging clerks.
He is ever ready to please, wants to
please at whatever sacrifice.
Mr.. Chase is a pioneer OF the west; he
is energetic and labors for the advance
ment of the common interests of the te.-
ritory. The Inter Ocean has for years
been the headquarters for the members
of the legislature and will doubtless con-
tinue to be such. 1t is a house for the
citizen and stranger alike.

His Energy Admired.

Perhaps there is no man in the city
better known and respected than Mr.. j.
W. Griffin, who both in public and pri-
vate life has made friends by the score.
He is honest, earnest and conscientious.
As a member of the city council heproved
to be most efficient. When he assumed
the proprietorship of the Metropolitan
hotel the city was seeing its worst days;
all were discouraged and everything indi-
Gated that there would be a general
stampede to green fields and pastures
new but thanks to such men as Mr..
Griffin, who would dare to do or die, the
city became one of prosperity and also re-
nowned throughout the world for pluck
and enterprise.
Nh. Griffin is the proprietor Of the
Metropolitan hotel and through his init
fatigable labors has made the place one of
the most popular in the West. When
first built the structure was a credit to
the city-as finished it is an ornament.
The rooms are as fine as to be found in
the city, the board as good and the rates
as reasonable as can be obtained anywhere
in the West.
AS a host Mr.. Griffin has become very
popular, and the capitalists. the stock
man the miner and mechanic alike flock
to his most hospitable roof. The table is
supplied with the best in the market, pre-
pared by the most competent cooks and
served by polite and obliSing walters.

HARD WORK AT HARVARD.
The Students Are kept so .Awfully
BuSy
From the Boston Transcript.

From the Boston Transcript.
Not great while ago party OF half
dozen Harvard Students were in BARRIERS
shop in this city, and, after having been
b 'ultied and adorned tonsorially, one or
the number was struck with an idea. 1t was
communicated to his companions, and with
out a dissenting voice agreed to. The prop
osition was nothing less than to purchase
the BARRIERS pole, which was done, and q
receipt taken. Then the young men sailed
forth with their striped and parti-colored
acquisition. They had not gone far, how
ever, when they were overhauled by a
policeman.
"Hello there! what are you doing with
that pole?"
"rhats our business"
'Your business. eh9 Well, I'll make it
mine. Come along with mel"
They were marched straight to the near
est station and stood up in line before the
captain.
''Whats the trouble, officer!" asked the
captain.
''Stealing BARRIERS pole"
The officer felt quite proud of his capture
and related with particularly all the cir
cumstances of his arrest. The captain
look upon the offenders and was about to
order them to be locked up for the night
when one of the students groduced a paper
and suggested that perhaps the captain
might like to look at that. The captain
looked at it. Then turing to the policeman,
he said:
"Oficer, you may return to your beat"
A moment later the students might
have been seen filing cut Of the station
with their tonsorial standard held proudly
aloft.
They had not gone far, however, before
they were again brought to halt by an
other officer, who, like his predecessor,
wanted to know where they were going
with chat pole He was informed that
that was their business, and he in turn
assured them that he would make it his
20 the se1f-same station they had just
Quilted
Whats the trouble, officer"
''These fellers have stole BARRIERS pole,
and
Every we'll; you may return to your
beat"
The captain smiled as he dismissed the
students. Hardly had he resumed his
onied gravity Of aspect before the door
opened and again entered policeman, six
young men and BARRIERS pole.
And 50 it went on. Six several times were
the students and their barberouS property
brought by as many different policemen
into that station, and had not an officer
been speci lily sent out to warn all patrol
men under no circumstances to interfere
with six young men and BARRIERS pole, it
is moro than likely that that pole and its
carers would have been brought into that
station as many times that night as there
were patrolmen in the district.
People who wondered wnat was the cause
of the hilarious laughter which proceeded
from the usually grave and quiet station,
ON the night in question, are now fully in
formed If the same.
