f. L. Turpin Opens the Royal
House to the Public.

T. L. Turpin has just opened to the pub
lie his new and elegant lodging-hOuse at
124 and 126 Ellis street.
1t is called the Royal House. and being
built according to the specifications of Mr.
Turpin, who is an old hotel man. is admira-
bly, arranged for rooming purposes. Being
located on Eis street. between Powell and
Mason. it is at once seen that its location is
very central. Theaters and places Of
amusement are within stones throw, and
all the cable-cars run close to it.
The building. which is fve-story fire.
proof brick one, is provided with metallic fire
escapes in the front and rear. There is not a
better lighted nor more airy building in the
city. Every one Of the 1876 rooms are not
only lit by electric lights but are arranged
so that during the day the suns cheerful
rays fit through the windows. There Is a
large and airy court In the center Of the
building, and then on each side Of the house
are several smaller courts, which not only
admit food Of light TO the rooms that do
not open into the main one, but admit a
draught of air into the rooms OF those who
wish for IL.
Brussels and English velvet carpets cover
the floors and railways, while the furniture
is all old oak Of antique and sixteenth Gen.
tuIy designs. The beds are woven wire,
covered with mattresses Of the best curled
hair, and the pillows are filled with the
finest down.
All the plumbing is located in the rear. so,
with plenty Of air and light and the alb
sence of perfumes that generally arise from
interior plumbing, the guests of the Royal
House should enjoy good health.
A bay-windOw front room is arranged for
reading purposes, aud on the whole, Mr..

House not only a model one for the general

NOONAN VS.. DONOVAN.

Lively Ruetion Between Two Men at
Hsckmsier's Hotel.
Charles Noouan and Jim Donovan had an
alteration in the baT-r0om Of Hackmeier's
Hotel last night that resulted in a cutting
match. Both men are boardeTs atthe hotel.
N0onan started the trouble by calling DON
ovan names, and the latter retOrted with
spirit and enthusiasm. They were put out
OF the hotel.
Noonan is brieklayer and Donovan is q
stOneeutter. After they were put out it
appears shat Donovan returned and was
talking with the barkeeper when NoOnan
came back and round!y abused him. The
fight was renewed ana the men pOmmeled
each other in a way that would have made
jackson and Slavin tired with envy if those
distinguished persons had seen it, When
they broke away HOouan began to throw
billiard balls al Donovan, and he seized q
cue TO defend himself.
Officer elias rushed In and put an end to
the game. When quiet was restored it was
found that both men had been cut Dona-

NoOnan was held for battery, and Donovan,

Just why this barbarOus practice should
be introduced in this country it is difficult
TO understand. In England. where it is
practiced to a much less extent than even a
few days ago, 1t is mere survival Of the
time when it was customary to mutilate
horses in all sorts of cruel and outlandish
fashions.
In the days when the horses ears were
cropped close. their nOstrils sitted, their
names clipped into fantastic shapes, 1t was
but step further to cut off their tails in the
name Of fashion. English hOrsemen tell US
to-day that the tails of their runners and
hunters are locked in order that they may

A PICTURE OF THE Pope.
The History of a Very Remark
able Painting.
Rsigning Sensation of the Paris salon-The
Pontiff Pleased With An
Artists Work.

The reigning sensation of the present
Paris Salon. says the New York Sun, is a
picture by French artist named Chartran
of Pope Leo XIII. The painting represents
the Pontiff r0bed in white, seated in a scar
let armchair, scarlet cape about his
shoulders. and behind him a solid back
ground of scarlet curtains. The white
robed, hite-haired, white-visaged POntiff
stands out in strong relief against this scar
let background, and as the light plays upon
curtains and cape it produces various effects
in scarlet, the graphic and mastery por-
trayal of which has won for the painter the
enthusiastic commentator Of the European
art critics.
But it is not alone because Of its artistic
merits that the picture attracts wideSDre ad
attention. The subject itself does its full
share in this direction. for the most difficult
man in all this world to get to pose for his
likeness is the reignlng P0ntiff. In fact in
all the years during which he has filed the
chair OF St Peter, this is the only occasion
in which he has consented to pose for
painter. 1t is true that there have been
from time TO time number of portraits of
the Pope put forward, each diverging more
or less widely from the original and from
each other. None of these. however, was
taken from direct sttings or had the author

it was that when, in the summer of 1891,
