they Have segun Their Rounds.

"This spring has seemed to be an unusu-
ally good one for motel beats, said clerk
of a leading hotel yesterday. I'VE have
had two within a week. One of them was
suspicious Of as soon as he signed the reg
lister, but he had a goOd-sZed YaliSe with
him ard ! didn't say anything. He disap-
peared after getting his supper, bed and
breakfast. That is about as much as any
of them cheat us of. 1t is very seldom that
a beat will stay longer than day. l was
nicely fooled a While ago. A fine looking
old man, with long gray beard, who ap-
peared like minister, came in and regis
tered. | didn't see any baggage, but from
his appearance he was the last person i
should have thought to be ON the beat.
He stayed the usual tiree-quarters of day
and then disappeared. We have got to allow
fer that class. There is no safeguard against
them. If a man wants to beat a hotel out
of days board it is comparatively an easy
thing for him 10 do so, but there have been
more of them around lately than We usually
calculate en."-Cleveland Leader.

An Ambiguous Acknowledgements,

Sometimes an expression of thankfulness
can returned into one Of the things which are
better left unsaid. On one of the sunny days
last week n sad-eyed man. clad in shiny
raiment, found prosperous youth enjoying
the warmth of Broad street, aud besought
him for aims. says the New York Times.
He himself, quoth the applicant, had known
prosperity in earlier days. and he knew
what was due from one gentleman to an
other. Therefore he had not hesitated to
address the youth, who being happy him
self, should Try TO make others happy. All
this had its effect upon the young man. He
produced a dime and handed it to the
stranger, who accepted it with a bow and a
flourish. "Ah, mister" he said, Il hope
we shall meet again, and tina: then / shall
be in a position to reciprocate." Then he
went his way, leaving the youth sadly puz-
lied as 10 lust what he meant.

Yesterday morning at 10 o'clock an elderly
woman was arrested at tie instance of her
employers on a charge of drunkenness. At
the station she first gave the name of Eliza
beth May and subsequently Caroline MAJ.
She was placed in the drunk cell and moth
ing more was thought Of her till 4 O'Clock
last evening, when an officer found her dead,
she having committed suicide by hanging.
The Woman's true name was then found
to be Mrs. Strange, and she was but a short
time in Alameda. She was engaged by her
employers through an intelligence Office,
where she was recommended as a capable
and perfectly sober woman. Nevertheless
she had been drinking so heavily during the
past three days that she became deliriOus
and the police had to be called upon to re-
move her.
The deceased was about IS years old and
had a son in this city and another in
Oregon. Her remains were brought to the
Oakland MOrgue last night TO await an in

The Morkinrman,s Chance.

The advocates of Sunday opening Of the
Museum of Art have every reason TO be
gratified with the result of the first trial of
the experiment The museum was open
yesterday afternoon from to o'clock, and
during the six hours about 10000 persons
entered the building. The attendance was
not so large as had been expected, for on
some holidays it has run up to $1,000 or
more; but the fact that there were 10000
visitors proves that Sunday opening will
meet an obvious want The class of people
attracted were precisely those whom il Is
sought to benefit by this change OF policy.
They were as orderly and we'll behaved as
could be desired.-N Y. Tribune

SALEM NEWS.

manufacture its goods into clothing,
will employ n large number of females.
The early extension of the Baltimore
and Ohio n the Roanoke and Southern
to Salem will mako it IN important rail-
way center, and hasten it's growth into
a large iron, steel and general manufac-
turing and commercial city. Salem and
Roanoke, now rapidly growing together,
are destined to be the great industrial
center of Virginia.
The proximity of tho great Flat Top
coal fields, the cheapness of the famous
PocahontaS coal and coke, the abundant
supply of iron ore, timber, and other
raw materials, make Salem an advan-
tageous point for manufactures.
Salem is the most attractive town in
Virginia; and it may we'll be proud of
its SUI passingly beautiful location, its
healthful climate, its refined society, it's
fine churches, it's excellent schools, and
of Roanoke College, n Of the leading
institutions in Virginia. Attractive as
a place of residence, it now offers I'M
usual advantages for manufacturing and
general business. No other town in
Virginia has aver equalled Salem's
record of progress for the last twelve
menths. The stage of experiment is
passed, and Salem is now firmly estab-
lished On a solid Industrial basis.
The property of the Salem Improve
ment Company adjoins the old town and
is surrounded by the lands of other
strong companies. Being inside prop
crty, it will continue to increase in
value. The Norfolk and Western and
the Dummy Line to Roanoke run
through it and have their passenger
stations on it. The streets have been
graded and the town system of water
works extended through it. On College
avenue, which has been we'll graded and
macadamized at a cost of 50, 900, only
brick or stone buildings may be erected.
At the foo of this avenue stands the
limo new stone passenger station Of the
Norfolk and Western railroad, and
on it the Hotel Salem, costing sos
600, exclusive of the land or furniture,
is under roof, the Improvement Com
pany's bank and Office building-50 by
so feet, three stories-is nearly ready
for occupancy, and a number of large
business houses havo been built and
others are in course of erection.
This avenue is sure to become one
of tho finest business ~thoroughfarcs
in Virginia.
Persons interested in locating plants.
or in making investments in Virginia,
should not fail to visit Salem. A
pamphlet of 80 pages, a map and
further information will be furnished
by j. w. ALLEMONG, President,
