REV. WEBER,S VIEWS.

Rev H. H. Weber, general secretary OF
the church extension board of the general
synod of the Evangelical Lutheran church
in the United States and his wife, were the
guests of the Rev w. l.. SeabroOk, pastor
of the First Lutheran church of this city
for several days during the past week.
Wichita was the objective point of Mr..
Weber's trip to Kansas En- route he
visited all the cities in the north and north
east portion of the state, but found in none
the evidences of permanency and stability
exhibited in Wichita. His faith in the
greatness of the city, inspired by the rep
reservations of Mr.. Seabrook, vino has
been laboring for nearly year building
up "a Lutheran church in the city, confirm
ed by his own observations, is so great
that he will recommend to the board,
which he represents, the granting of strong
financial aid TO the local congregation III
acquiring d centrally located church prop
erty.
Mr. and Mrs. Weber left for Denver yes
terday morning and will probably visit the
cities of the Pacific slope before their re-
turn to his headquarters at York, Pa.
They will present the Lutheran church of
this city communion service, thus evil
dencing not only their good will but their
confidence in the work of the church here.
Mr., Weber is, by the way, not mere
figure head in the position which he Occu-
pies, but an earnest, intelligent, pushing
business man, as well "a minister of jesus
Christ

MANHATTAN HOTEL.

hotels in the city Mr. Black
finds that there is a demand for
more room and has concluded to run the
building up two more stories making it
five stories high This will nearly double
the capacity aud make it one of the largest
hotels in the west.
Being built at a time when the hotel
Accommodations of the city were not at all
adequate to the increasing population it
met with great favor by the travelling
public and by its clever management
that good feeling has always been
maintained Although two immense
hotels have been built since, the popular
ity of the Manhattan has by no means
diminished, and today the owner finds it
eXpedient to double its present capacity.
These alterations will suggest quite diff
ferent arrangement of the ground floor
The entire 100 feet on Douglas avenue to a
depth OF say fifty feet will be used for the
Office. The floor will be tiled and the desk
is to be made of inlaid woods. fifty feet
long in the shape of an arc, occupying he
center Of the room.
On either side viii be twenty-five foot
passage, the one on thewest leading to the
baths and the one on the east leading TO
the billiard rooms, reading rooms, smok-
ing rooms, etc, which will also open on
Topeka avenue. The kitchen viii then be
put in the top of the house, and it will be
impossible for any suggestion of cooking
to greet the nostrils of the guests.
The present office occupies twenty-five
feet on Douglas and runs the entire depth
of the building, 125 feet. The main en-
trance is from Douglas avenue, but there
is a side entrance just north of the grand
stairway opening onto Topeka.
During the warm evenings Of summer
this Is . favorite resort for the guest and
the business men about town, who bring
their chairs out in the banquette, getting
the full benefit of the cool Southern breezes
which prevail at this season of the year in
Kansas.
Without any effort on the part of the
management to make it appear so there is
something distinctively Southern about

. DINING ROOM.

themselves confronted with the same dish
that might has been expected in Paris,
Madrid Bremen or London. Even the
native Kansan can find the same tempting
dishes that his mother used to set before
his hungry childhood and he fancies that
that same boyish appetite has come back
TO him again.
The parlor on the front is richly furnish
ed, combining comfort and taste. The
ceiling is handsomely decorated and mag
nificent paintings ornament the walls.
Huge easy chairs, divans and tete-a-tete
sofas are scattered about the floor and it
seems as if nothing had been forgotten to
make the place attractive
The guests rooms are all furnished in
the most modern style and scarcely any
two are alike Different styles in furniture
are to be seen in nearly every room chosen
to match the particular finish. The cell
ings and walls are also decorated to match
the general effect while the rich carpets
are in perfect taste with everything else.
This mode of furnishing is feature of the
hotel and the most fastidious can easily
be suited to room while persons of taste
may be charmed with the neatness and art
displayed in their apartment. The perfec-
ton of the system of ventilation is best
seen in the guests rooms and this is con-
sidered one of the most attractive
things about the hotel In summer an I'M
limited supply of cool air may be COM
manded by the guests and in winter a
warm but pure current is constantly
passing through.
The hotel is heated in winter by steam
and the system of ventilation aids this
while in summer the same system tempers
the atmosphere while it keeps it pure.
A complete system of electric bells runs
through the house and all the rooms are
lighted by either gas or electricity. No
improvement known is missing and no
more comfort could be found in any hotel
in the world.
No serious accident has ever happened
and amongst commercial travellers it is
spoken of as a mascot. Some of them even
go so far as to say that they can always
sell more goods from the sample rooms of
the Manhattan than in any other hotel.
Their success is probably due, however, TO
the convenient location and it is an easy
matter to get merchant to take the few
necessary steps to look at their full line of
samples.
Mr.. Frank E. Young has the manage
ment of the hotel and he is too well known
to the travelling public to need any intro
duction. The success of the hotel speaks
more than volumes for his cleverness and
he is probably one of the most popular
hotel men in the west. His estimable
wife makes it point to be agreeable to the
lady guests and thus the Manhattan has
grown to be the favorite hotel for ladies
and families.
The gentlemanly clerks have also great
many friends amongst the travelling public
and a friendly greeting waits every arrival.
The Manhattan is one of the bulwarks of
the city, has thrived with the city and has
contributed its share to the well being of
the CITY

ABOUT KANSAS HOGS.

The following is taken from the Live
Stock Indicator of Indianapolis: 1t af-
fords lover of good hogs much pleasure
to visit the breeding farm of Stewart &
Cook near Wichita Mr.. Cook, the man
ager of the stock, is very systematic gen
tlemen in the management of the herd,
making it a rule to mark every pig far
rowed so as to be sure that there will be
no mistake when it comes to making out
pedigrees. Mr.. Stewart, the senior mem
Der of the firm, and also the president of
the Kansas swine breeders association,
takes great pleasure in showing up their
stock, and being well posted and a fluent
writer on the hog, has promised the Live
Stock Indicator a few practical articles in
the near future.

feature in the success of the hotel. There
is no one that has ever partaken of the
hospitality of the Manhattan but what has
a pleasant recollection of the dining room
The walls and ceilings are beautifully and
deliberately frescoed and the windows are
ornamented with the dantiest lace cur
tains draped in the most pleasing and ar
tistic fashion. A door on the east opens
out on to little summer balcony and the
cool drafts are drawn through the spacious
hall by an ingenious system of ventilation.
The walters take a special pride in their
work and fully realize that the hotel has
big reputation in their department
which they are bound to sustain. None
but the most noted cooks can ever assume
charge of that kitchen and here the disci-
pline is unusually strict. The bill of fare
is comprehensive and is often a surprise to
a stranger but the surprise is increased
when the order is filed and Monsieur,
Signor, Herr or plain English Mr.. find

this hotel The same air of luxury and
ease pervades every corridor, and there is
something cool and inviting about this
hotel in summer that is irresistible to the
weary traveller. In the winter, when the
storm doors and windows replace the
awnings and screens and the delicate lace
curtains give way TO the rich damask, a
genial warmth seems TO settle on the
weather beaten traveller as a mantle, and
every comfort holds out an inducement TO
make oneself at home
Ascending the grand stairway immedi-
aJely on the right broad hallway leads TO

estimates the crops in Kansas this year to

in a good crop. The business of the Mis-

most satisfactory
