Gently, been the proprietor of the Mont
gomery Hotel, house well known for its
responsibility and cleanliness.
Isaac W. Stanley, who is a native son of
the Golden West, although a much younger
man than his partner, has also had wide
experience in the business. He held posi-
lions in Portland, Oregon, for six years,
was for two years manager of the Banquet
at that city and four years in the Crystal
Palace During the past two years he has
been connected with the Silver and Laurel
palaces in this city. The office and bar in
the new hotel will be under his supervision.
These gentlemen will not spare expense
to make the hotel q leading one in every
particular, but the prices are TO be fixed on
a second-cass scale. The most intelligent
care will be observed in the heating and
ventilation, as well as in the sanitary ar
rangements and the public are assured that
the house will be frst-class and complete in
every essential detail. All the appoint
ments Will be sumptuOusly furnished with
every modern convenience, and especial
care is being taken in the selection of the
best curled-hair mattresses. An endeavor
Will also be made to surpass any hotel in
the country in the cuisine and service, and
to this end the services of 10 Graham. as
steward, have been engaged. He was for

at the Commercial Restaurant, and more
recently steward for the well-known ca
terer, Frank Garcia, during the past four

THAT BOLD BURGLAR.
How He Acts and Looks in the
City Prison Cell.

age-A Young Hoodlum.

George Hubbard, the young man arrested
Tuesday night on six charges of burglary,
takes his arrest philosophically and is in
clined to treat it with an air of bravado.
Yet he is very restless in the narrow con-
fines of City Prison tank" and shrinks
from notoriety through the newspapers
He does not wish to be known as a burglar
or expert ROOM thief, but as an industrious
craftsman above stealing. He pretended
to feel highly indignant because a police
man had submitted him to the indignity of
arrest on such charge as burglary.
Hubbard is about the least likely look
ing man to be suspected of the charge
placed against him. Indeed, it would at
first sight be rather difficult to imagine
such nervous, languid young fellow a
daring, energetic and successful burglar.
In fact. it would not require second look
at his face and fern to convince one of his
being addicted to the use of opium in some
of its forms. His blanched and drawn
features are characteristic of the sneak,
thief. timid, treacherous and low cast-the
typical lace OF young hoodlum-reddish-
brown hair hanging half way down his low
forehead, sinister grin about his mouth,
and the eyes moving about restlessly.
"A SUIT OF brown tweed, consisting Of a
ceedlDgly narrow dimensions, a soft round
hat and the regulation fashy necktie with
cheap pin, constituted his attire-like his
face, typical Of the worthless class of
young men to which he belongs.
DANGEROUS CHARACTER.

gerous character, who has given them no
END OF trouble, one of the sIeekest of room
thieves that ever operated in this city, and
a burglar against whose name they can
place twenty distinct charges of burglary.
They felt like men who had caught a prize
when he was securely locked up in the
prison. And he went about his work with
out dark-lantern, knife or revolver, and
might be overcome by most women.
Once inside the tanks he looked around
him with an air of curiosity, for it was his
hrst experience in cell, so far as the po-
lice know. He Invested himself of his red
tie, his collar and coat and the little round,
soft hat upon seat sat down, and, cross
ing one leg over the other, swung his foot
with the regularity of pendulum and sank
into gloomy silence. The next thing he
did was TO swear Mt the police because
they took his morphine and hypodermic
syringe away, and he wanted some of the
drug.

The designs and specifications were pre-
pared by the well-known architect, William
MooSer, of 1884 kearny street. who has exer-
clsed particular care to make the Veranda a
monument OF modern construction and
adaptable for the purposes for which it is
to be used
This strongly built structure is of brick
and iron, with concrete foundations, four
stories and basement, and has frontage
on kearny street OF 100 feet, and on Wash
ington street of nearly Jos feet. 1t has the
strongest foundations of any building in
the city. In the center of it is an open
court, 1Sx55 feet, where the elevator and
hre-proof kitchen are being built. The ele-
vator will practically be separate from the
building, while the kitchen will be abso-
lntely fre-proof. On the second, third and
fourth floors the halls encircle the building,
dividing the outer from the inner apart
ments. From the first to the fourth floors
are three stalrways-the main stairs, one for
ladies and the third for servants.
long-fet want, in connection with
hotels, for the protection of life in case of
fire Is here supplied, and in accordance
with the new city ordinance there are four
lire escapes, or ladders affixed to the build
ing, two on the Kearny-street frontage, one
on Washington street and one at the rear
of the hotel, with platform on each story
surrounded by wire netting, which insures
an easy escape should fire occur Their
mostats are also placed in all the rooms and
halls, so that when the temperature ex-
ceeds 135', the hotel Office is apprised of it.

The structure follows no set design, its
architectural lines being adapted from many
well-known examples. The idea of the
architect has been to concentrate good
forms and graceful angles, with an eye to
looks as well as utility. AS will be seen in
Cut l, there are no cheap effects in the fin
iSh; no common posts or pilasters, abrupt
or unfinished places. The piazza is spacious
and pretty, the pediment not over-elab-
crate, the rail-standard unique in pattern
and the junctures handsomely carved and
united.
In breaking up the facade great care was
used not to repeat the forms of the win
dows, but to vary them, so that the same
ness usually seen in the ordinary house
might be obviated.
The paneled vases and ornamental cas-
ings as we'll as the stucco finish, all tend to
impress the eye with feeling of originality,
while it is evident at sight that the day
light has not been excluded from any part.
The drawings readily suggest an ampli-
tude OF adornment in the way of projections
and sweeping lines, while here and there
will be noticed several hand-carved entab-
latuTes. The matter of color is optional
but the architect suggests red roof, colo
NAL yellow for the clapboards and creamy
white for the trimmings. This combina-
ZION will carry off the weight Of the design,
SO that it Will appear light ana cheerful,
not oppressive and heavy as it might if
treated with darker tones.
In the dlnlng-room a novel feature has
been introduced in the shape of mantel,
which fakes up nearly the entire side of the
room. Near by a staned-glass window
furnishes the greatest portion of light
needed and forms at once a unique and
useful decoration. Surely it serves better
purpose than solid masonry or plaster, and
at night adds an atmosphere which is
highly enjoyable; an alcove-window, in
consequence of the plentifuluess of light,
may be heavily draped and used as the
basis for a color scheme of the room, which
may consist of dark tones. All of the
furniture and paneled dados are in old oak,
while the cornIce, frieZe, and what little
wall space there is showing, is stippled and
relief designs applied by hand, this relief
being in cOlors and the background gray,
Including two brownish tints.
The cabinet is of solid oak, and is speci-
ally made TO fit the little corner it occupies
With the open fireplace and Oriental carpet,
this room may be counted very rich in all
appointments as well as supremacy COM
Portable and handsome
In Cut we have an original design for
the principal window in the drawing-room.
The window is made so as to show off the
design rather than the glass, while to bal
ance any lack of color the row of bulls
ewes or disks are placed so as not to inter-
fere with the effects desired. The draper
les are choice pieces of embroidery and en-
llyen the room, not alone with their strong
lines and shapes, but by their fancifuf
colors as we'll. The stuff used is of a GRIM
son tone and eXquisitely set off with a blaze

which is new, comes under the recent city
ordinance. Nine fire hoses within the build
ing, three on each floor, are an extra secur-
ity against fire.
Among the leading hotels on the Pacific
Coast may be classed the New Western, and
in many respects there are modern i'm
provements in its architecture which will
commend it to the public and place it in
superior position as compared with its COM
petitors. 1t was specially designed for
first-class hotel. and contains 135 rooms,
every one of which is well lighted and ven
tilated. The main entrance is ON Kearny
street, with a ladies' entrance on Wash
ington street. The office and dinng-hall are
on the first floor. Each suite is complete in
itself, including the fire-proof kitchen and
pantry, as well as sitting. rooms and bed
rooms. The arrangement is such that each
suite has the privacy of separate house,
and yet there is the freedom of communica-
ton for the tenants of the different suites
which is possible in any first-class hotel.
The doors between apartments have bolts
on each side to insure the privacy of each
occupant. Nothing has been omitted which
could be suggested for the comfort and con-
venience of guests.
The hotel has been leased for n term of
ten years by John p. Gallagher and Isaac
W. Stanley, under the firm name of Gala

POSTAL CLERKS,
They viii Seek to Defeat the
Washburne Bill.

The clerks and employees of the San Fran
cisco Postoffice affected by the present bills
before Congress number 80 and these have
organized an association, which met again
last evening to further the passage of the
Ketcham bill and express disapprobation Of
the Washburne bill.
In order that this measure may be made
effective an organized effort is being made
by the postal clerks throughout the Union,
the avowed object of which is to better the
condition of the service and of the en-
ployes of the Postal Department. The
headquarters of the National Association
are in Brooklyn, N Y, p. A. OMalley
being the National Secretary.
At the meeting last evening a large
amount of correspondence was read asking
the association here to work early and late
with the Senators and Representatives
from this State. The Chairman of the Ex-
ecntive Committee announced that an in
terview had been had with Senator Stan
ford, who had promised his aid in carrying
out their views.
A letter from Hon. w. w. Morrow was
read, IN which he promised to do all in his
power to assist. Mr.. Morrow said he was
1amlliar with the service, and knew how
poorly the employees are paid, as compared
WIN otner departments of the Government.
ne WashDurne bill is Objectionable for
the reason that certain classes are reduced
to $500 year, from which figure they are
compelled to work up at the rate of Sl0O
year, and because it makes no difference
that they have been performing the duties
until they are thoroughly conyersant with
all the requirements.
Senator Stanford, the Executive Com
mittee reported, had promised his aid and
therefore 1t was moved that he and Senator
Hearst be memorialized with reference to
the bill, asking them not to support it. every
member to place his signature to the memo
