HOTEL AND CORRIDOR.

! / HOTEL AND CORRIDOR.
They were grand dinners that all the
hotels provided for their Christmas
guests. and all were done justice to by
full tables of people throughout the din
ner hour. The chefs at the three hotels
| where table de hote dinners were served
seemed to have Wed with one another
as to who could prepare the finest menu
ana the result was suggestive of the
axiom. Great minds run in the same
channel So singularly alike were the
ideas o: the three great men who spend
their time trying to tempt and then sat
! isfy the appetites of the patrons of the
! what these same patrons would most like
! for their 1896 Christmas dinner
1t was notable that at all three of these
places old Major Mckinley" who died
an ienominious death to test the valor
of Salt Lake sportsmeu, suffered a still
more ignoble fate by having his carcass,
or part of it, offered to a gormandizing
public as a toothsome morsel At the
Cullen it was Loin of Antelope island
buffalo, demi glace-'' AT the Knutsford
It was '.Loin of buffalo, currant jelly
and at the Templeton it was .Larded
loin of buffalo," And it was toothsome,
too. contrary 70 the general impression
the people held that the Majors meat
would be as tough as the proposition his
lluStr1ouS ndmeSake stood Tor IN the
recent campaign.
It is certain three more exquisite din
ners were never served at Salt Lake ho-
tells on the same day.
At the Walker House. dinner was
served la carte. and another excellent

E. c. Crane, successful Chicago
speculator, was among the Christmas
-uests of the Knutsford. Mr.. Crane is
0ne of the depositors of the defunct Ma /
Lional Bank of Illinois who had balance
IN the bank when the crash came few /
lays ago. He, however, is not one of
The pessimists who can not see anything /
but the dark side of a bank failure. On 4
the contrary he takes a very different I
n the Geographic dispatches and seems 1
% think the failure was due more to in /
.ernal dissensions among the directors
and the commence of other banks than I
bank officers.
Speaking of the failure last evening Mr..
Crane said: Like all failures. there is |
story behind this one It is my opinion
hat harmony was not prevailing among
he directors at the time to start with.
Then Second Vice-president Hammond

under President Gage. When
he left to go to the Illinois National he
naturally took a great many customers
# the First National with him.
Gage has had it in for him ever since
ng house took advantage of the circum-
stances existing among the directors of
he Illinois National to crowd the bank
O the wall. To do so. he so manipulated
hings that the clearing house threw out
he Calumet Electric companyS Securi-
les on which the Illinois National had
Idvanced great amount OF money and
he bank being unable to clear on them
lad to close its doors.
