Washington sadly needs fine new hotel.
An addition to the edifces of this kind is
being made by the remodeling of the old
office building on the corner of Pennsyl-
yania avenue and Fifteenth street. opposite
the Treasury. The transformation will be
made in a months time, or so it is expected.
The location is a fine one, because so central,
but it is not the one that the protector of the
coming Grand Hotel de Washington must
select TIE fulfil his chosen mission he must
plant mis- Peoples Palace upon one of the
aristocratic elevated quarters of this
lovely city; remembering the exquisite
dictum of Berthold Auerbach:
