There is one motive that inspires every
kind of hotel so universally thatit is a sort
of axiom i'm the business 1t is this, 1T
always pays to please the guest at any
cost
This business is as directly built up and
torn down By the opinions of its patrons as
any other one could name, and the head
mind Of a hotel enterprise stays awake at
nights thinking up schemes to please his
customers. His days he spends in seeing
to it that they are not GisTlpused.
If pleased. they are likely TO come again
Ifthey are specially pleased, they arc liable
TO say something TO somebody that viii
bring I'm other patrons, who, i'm turn may
bring In stiN more friends. But ii they
are displcased exactly the opposite effect is
likely TO lo brought about That is the

The Lenten season at Atlantic oily.

With regularity that begets emulation, le
beau monde has entered into its peniteutial
retreat at the -by-the-Sea. Never in the
history of Atlantic City has lenten season
opened and progressed so auspiciously. The
oceau-front hotels are filled to overlooking,
and the daily promeuading on the osplanade
is exceeded only in extent by that of the
mid summer season. As this week marks the
advent of the family of the Chief Magistrate
of our land, the registers of the leading
hotels are filed with the names of the elite
Of over dozen Eastern States. The climate
at this season Of the year is surperb. The
balsamic hreczes from the vast piue-belt on
the west blend in sweet harmony with the
ozone from the sea, shedding over the Sweet
fair Isle an atmosphere emineutly curative
and exceedingly tropical With such a
health-engendering spot at our very doors
one need not so to Florida or Southern Cali
fornia to regain lost vitality. Although
osteusiby period Of penitence yet there is
the noticeable presence of gayety.
If popular preference is a criterion of
superiority, tlcn the Royal Reading Route"
enjoys that distinction. Its swift, safe and
sumptuOus trains run over the finest piece of
railway in the world. Double-tracked and
stone-balasted from the Delaware to the Sea
Safe-guarded by the Hall system of automatic

The daily morning journal and courier., 1897-11-27

The Haverhill Gazette, now in the front rank of newspapers, stands for the Journalistic ability of one man.
 John B. Wright impressed his strong personality on the paper from the day that he secured control.
 His accurate sense of news and steady judgment of men and events has built up the Haverhill Gazette to it's present newspaper leadership of northern Massachusetts.
 Editor Wright's long and brilliant work on the Boston Herald, as chief of department of Special writer's" has all been utilized in the building up of this successful newspaper. It will surprise no one that getting out big newspaper like the Gazette, morning after morn ing and year after year, in the heat and smoke of fierce political conflicts, should entail great mental and physical strain.
 Incessant work told on Editor Wright; but because he made use at once of Paine's celery compound, he is to-day fully restored to his old time forceful, vigorous habit of mind and body. He says of this great remedy:
 Haverhill, Mass, Oct. 8, '97.
 Gent1emen-It is with great pleasure that bear testimony to the beneficial results which almost invariably follow the use of that king of all remedies Paines celery compound. As a tonic, free from deleterious material, 1t has, to my way of thinking, no equal. This remedy is positive boon to all nerve wrecked men of business. I unhesitat- ingly commend 1t to all persons who are, as I was, thoroughly worn out
 Very truly yours JOHN B. WRIGHT.
 Paine's celery compound creates a
