OLD GAIT HOUSE.
The Famous Cincinnati Hostelry Of
fered for Sale.

Cincinnati, June 1.-THE Gait House.
which is one of the Oldest landmarks
in the city, will be offered for sale to-
morrow. The object of the sale is to di
vide the property among the heirs of
the Marsh estate. The hotel was origi-
nally purchased by James A. Marsh
in 1884 and he gave a steamboat as
part payment for the hotel
The hotel has been in the hands of
the Marsh family ever since, with the
exception of a few years, when it was
managed by Mr. George Weber. The
present manager is James A. Marsh,
son of the original purchaser. The
hotel was torn down about 45 years
ago and the present building erected.
In the deep double cellar of the
structure is probably a cart load of
candlesticks that have accumulated
since 1894. In the early times it was
customary to dismiss guest for the
evening with a talIOw candle. If the
guest wanted his boots blacked over
night he was furnished with a pair of
hotel slippers to wear to his room. Some
of these old slippers have survived the
ravages of time, and at this late day
appear as very ancient relies.
When Louis Kossuth was here he
was wined and dined at the old Gait
House.

Them at the Aquarium.
New York. June 1.-THE people who
iammed the Aquarium yesterday stood
three and four deep around the whale
pool Milk and Seltzer, the two whales
from the St. Lawrence, were so fascinat-
ing in their gambols that some specta>
tors stuck to the tank as if they belonged
there.
Milk and Se1tzer rose and fell with
rhythmic motion, swimming round and
round half way between the center of
the basin and the rim. Sprays from their
bIowhoIes jumped dozen and sometimes
eighteen inches into the air.
Papa, what's a whale?" asked child
in it's fathers arms.
"A whale kid, is a blowhard-a thick
head, a creature that pushes it's way
into the front row and stands in front of
other people"

20 wives and reed band playing ma

The acting political residents re-
ceived the kings obeisance in front OF
the Palaver house. The king was Gov

arms were supported on each side by
natives. About 400 naked natives and
many chiefs gathered about the king

make his submission privately to the
