ABOUT THE HOTELS.

A slight young fellow, without any
beard, and apparently about twenty
three years old, arrived in the city yes
terday afternoon and registered at
the Hotel Roanoke as T. l.. Mason.
He is on trip for the American Press
Association which supplies number
of newspapers in the country with
miscellaneous matter. Mr.. Mason Is
not only great traveller, but he is
poet as well, and his verses in the
magazines of the first rank have for
the past year been attracting a great
deal of attention. He signs them
Tom Mason, but the familiarity OF
the non de plume, does not, as is the
case in many instances, prevent the
verses from receiving the attention
they deserve. Mr.. Mason will write
up description of the Southwest for
number of papers, and there is not a
doubt but what he will do the section
justice with his gifted pen.
Nv
He was the talleSt man IN town yes
terday and measured six feet four
inches in his stocking feet. Other
people looked like pigmies beside him
as he strobe through the streets. his
name was James R. Gatchel, he is a
travelling man and has sold thousands
of dollars worth of engines all through
the South and West. He is not only
a travelling man, but a practical
engineer and is on his way to the City
of Mexico. Within a month he will
be walking along the plaza in front OF
the palace OF President Dias, looking
at the dark eyed senotiras on the
promenade.
Now that Jack Wren is dead there
is no Virginia detective so we'll known
as w. e.. Baldwin. He was seen at the
CITY hotel yesterday and more mod
est and unassuming young man would
not be found in days travel, and to
look at him one would not think that
he was such a terror to evil-doers.
He is nearly siX..feet, has black nous
tache and keen ferret eyes, and his
head is surmounted by a black SLOUGH
hat. He is a fine shot and can knock
the gents off nickel at fifty yards.
The moonshiner was right when ne
said she isn't afraid of the devil.
~
\ gentleman of average height,
with full beard and pair OF nous
taches curled up at the ends, sat on
the porch of the Hotel Roanoke last
night and admired Mill Mountain by
moonlight. His name was W. H.
Hubbard and he halls from Philadel-
phia. but there is none of the proverb
ial slowness OF the Quaker City about
him. He is in the employ of Post
master General John Wanamaker and
is one of the most enterprising men or
the road
The Continental Hotel is nearing
completion and will soon be ready foi
occupancy. The coming proprietor
was in town yesterday and impressed
every one who met him with the idea
that he knows how to run hosiery
and intends to do it. He has gray
beard and piercing black eyes. and
comes from Havre de Grace, Mary
land, where the Susquehanna river
empties into Chesapeake Bay. His
name is Maj j. d. Busnill, and he
likes Roanoke.

probably a million people living there

that the chief is trying to clothe

WASHINGTON, Jan aI. 1890.
EDITOR CHIEFTAIN The house
committe on territories will hold
its closing session this morning at
10 o'clock, on the Springer bill, to
organize temporary government
for Oklahoma, and the Indian Ter
ritory for judicial purpos es. This
bill has been before the commit
tee since the first day Of my arri-
val here and the shot and shell Of
opposing argument has been pour
ed into it from all sides, beginning
with tho Cherokees, Creeks and
others, and followed by represen-
tatives from Texas, Kansas, Arkan-
sas and Oklahoma. All have OBJ
iections to submit and amendments
to offer in the interests of their
several localities. As Mansur, Of
Missouri, said few days ago, the
committee is well loaded, and it
would be well to call a hault and
find out how they stood. An exec
utive session will be had in few
days in order to do this. No one,
especially an outsider, is warrant
ed in saying that any general ac-
commodation between conflicting
interests ofall parties will be reach
ed. Somebody is bound to be dis
appointed in the matter Of courts
and jurisdiction, or only partly sat-
isfied. Many will be wholly dis
appointed,a AS nearly every town in
the territory fany importan ce, es-
pecially the lower nations, wants
a court. Gainesville, Texas, pre-
sents its claim, while it innocently
disclaims any preference between
Ardmore, Lehigh or Purcell, yet
il opposes the establishment Of
court at either.
Mr.. Rogers, Of Arkansas, with
his pleasant and agreeable address
and manners, was before the CON-
mittee a few days ago, in the in
terest Of the Fort Smith court.
He seemed willing to divide the
Jurisdiction Of criminal casses with
the court at Muskogee. To joint
jurisdiction in minor criminal Of
fenses he likewise agreed, as I
understood him, to be determined
by the catch.
lie. At a subsequent date, said
to the committee that he and Mr.
Springer had about agreed to cer-
tain propositions, which were
ailir1,ed BY Mr. Springer himself.

Persons who have a cold are much
more likely TO take the influenza or so
called, Ia grippe.
Ii is much more severe when accom-
panied by cold.
The most critical time is when re-
covering from the disease, as slight ex-
posure will often cause a relapse and
then is almost certain to end in lung
fever or pneumonia.
The feet should be kept dry and
warm. the body well clothed and care
used TO avoid exposure.
The bowels should be kept regular and
persons physically weak should take
