HOTELS FOR WILLIAMSBURG.


Neighboring Borough's Wants to he Sup
piled Next Summer.
Williamsburg Is crying for hotels. It has not
one at present. Several capitalists see possi-
bilities of profitable Investments in hotels in
the borough, particularly for the benefit of CITY
people who like TO live out of the heat and
dust in The summer. E. d. Gillespie con-
templates putting up a commodious hotel
building on Rebecca street, and e. H. Lowell
also has a similar structure in contemplation.
Its expected that at least one hotel will be
built in Williamsburg this summer. There is
likely to be general building boom in the
borough this year.

Pointers to wOuld.be Model Husbands.

MIR. EDITOR:-YOurv very excellent
paper for the Hast few weeks has
abOunded in well-written articles,
discussing the "Model Husband"
Now, there is one characteristic Of
! Model Husband | notice all Of your
correspondents have failed to men,
| ton, up to this time, and IL IL one OF
the most essential requisites that go
to make up the truly Model Husband.
Ills this: a Model Husband should be
, a model in dress as well as everything
else, for ladies like neatness and style
combined. They show this by the
favOrs they bestoW upon well-dressed
young men in society.
Now it is Il sad fact, but il is never
theless true, that cOmpaI atively few
husbands are "mOdelsn In this re-
spect. However, / am not writing to
blame them, for l think they are more
to be pitied than censured. They are
just simply misguided on q very inn
portant subject; and right here, Mr..
Editor, comes the important point L
wish to make, and that is, chow may
husbands become models in dress ?"
For information go and ask all those
husbands who are models in dress.
Go and ask any young man who is
not married, who dresses to perfec-
ton, and you will receive but one
answer. That is, buy your clothing
from the right place, and that place
is j. ROSENTHAL'S. Buy your CLOTH
ing from Rosenthal all you husbands
who desire to be models, AID you will
secure peace and happiness in the
family, and will ever be pointed TO as
model in dressing.

Struck the Wrong Town.

Chief of Police LipscOmb pulled q
Nashville colored dude last Monday,
who proved to be what the officer
took him to be, q very tony horse
thief. Will Leon was his name, and
he drove through the country from
Nashville behind a handsome gray
horse IN a fine surrey. The surrey
was worth q hundred dollars or more,
and the verdant William offered to
sell it at McGaw's stable for the sum
of ten dollars. This excited Mr.. Lip
scomb's suspicious and he detained
the swell until he could investigate
his title to the property. Upon tele-.
phoning to Nashville it was learned
that the surrey and horse belonged
to DIR. Roberts of that city. The
prisoner and his stolen property were
ali sent back to Nashville, and Mr..
Leon with his patent leather shoes
will he sent to the pen.

Tenny Breaks Down.

"Tenny," the greatest running
horse on the American turf, has
broken down and is 0 hopeless Grip
pie. Tenny's off hind foot was le-
garded with suspicion since the fall
of 1889, when, after the Trial stakes,
ne pulled up favoring it perceptibly.
On Wednesday of last week he did
not act we'll while being given his
exercise, and cooled off lame, and
veterinaries upon examination found
that he had broken down in the coro-
net of the off hind foot.
Tenny was the greatest son of
Rayon dor, and was last years SEN
sation-the fleetest and gamest horse
on the turf. His career is so recent
and has been so phenomenal that ii
hardly bears repetition. Every race
goer is familiar with it as he is with
the peculiar conformation which
made him known as the "swayback'
colt, while his well-set limbs massed
with muscle made him look smaller
than he really was and gained foI
him the appellation of "The little
giant" Without Tenny this country
would never have known just exactly
what was the limit of Salvator's ca
pacity, while without Salvador Tcnny
never would have had an opportunity
of fully demonstrating the marvellous
ability he possessed. He had the
speed of lightning in the stretch,
marred only by his wilfuluess, which
after all, served to show just how fast
he could run when he buckled him
self down to his work.

They like an ability to talk well ana q
knowledge of the virtue OF silence.
TheY like a motherlineSs big enough %

well as the younger boys. They IKE a
disposition to speak good, rather than
evil of every human being. Ihey IKE
sympathy which means a willing ear
for the tale of sorrow or gladness. Ihey
like knowledge of how to dress We'll
which, by-the-by, does not mean con
spiciously. Men are most attracted DN

colors; not by snowy colors or designs

JOhnston Memorial Services.

The memorial service held in honor
OF Gen. Joseph E. Johnston at the
Methodist Church Sunday afternoon
was largely attended. Nearly every
member of Leonidas Polk BivOuac,
under whose auspices the services
were held, was present, with many
other eX-Confederate soldiers. The
programme consisted OF appropriate
music, prayer and short addresses,
with resolutions Of respect prepared
and adopted by the bivOuac. The
resolutions were read by Capt. J. II
Russell, who followed with speech
fraught with stirring memories o., the
campaigns he and his comrades had
passed through under the command
of the fallen leader. He was followed
by Capt r. d. Smith, Hon. G. V.
Cyrus and Rev. Il. J. Duncan. Near
ly all the old soldiers present had
been with Johnston in his celebrated
retreat before Sherman from Dalton
to Atlanta and had sun endered with
him at Bentonville, the last battle of
the war.
The speech 8 abounded in touching
"reminiscences and memories OF the
great conflict, ani pr .duced pro-

which will ever be kept green and

The last entertainment of the Star
Course under the management of
Mr.. E. y. Fusch was the Schubert

ton and with their pianist Miss Lay
and Miss Baldwin, soprano, gave a
very enjoyable entertainment.
Miss Baldwin has a very sweet
voice admirably cultivated and I'M
der great control, her "Swiss Echo"
song being heHfnest effort. "Remem-
Der Now Thy Greater" was undoubt-
eddy the best member that the quar-
tette sang, though their "Serenade"
was not very far behind it. The duet
"a night in Venice" by Miss Baldwin
and Mr.. Battle was very much APP
preciated.
.The gem Of the evening was-~Mr.
lofts "ROcked in the Cradle of the
Deep" This gentleman has a most
excellent bassO voice, and not until
he sang it had we heard this old but
often murdered song, sung as it
should be. This ended the musical
attractions this season, and il this be a
criterion, we cannot say that such at
fractions pay in Columbia. No two
stronger combinations exist than the
Harvard and Schubert quartettes and
that both were losing ventures to the
manager of the Star Course Is evil
dence that no such atti action will
pay expenses in this place. OF this
we are very sorry, as music of this
high order can but refine and elevate
our natures.

Burned to Deata Near CulIeOka.

Mrs. Bryant Renfro was found dead
in her house, one mile east of Gull
leoka, about 10 O'Clock last Wednes-
day morning, her face and breast
burned to q crisp. Early in the
morning her husband left her in her
usual health and went out on the
farm to plant corn. Having finished
his corn planting he returned to his
house anI ssend his wife with her
face downward in the fire place, dead
and horribly burned. 1t is not known
whether she dropped dead or whether
in a faipting spell, to which she was
subject, she fell forward into the fire.
There were no indications of any
struggle or effort to extricate herself
from the fire. She evidently must
have met with her misfortune soon
after Mr.. RenfrO left the house, as
her morning duties were only done
in mart. She leaves no children OF
her own; she was a worthy member
of the Methodist Church.
