TEXAS BEST HOTEL.
1t Ia Conducted by Seven Divorced
Women.

Chicago Record
The best hotel in Texas is to be found
at Bolton, a town on the Santa Fe road,
and it Is kept by ''seven snnctified sis
ters," as the proprietors are popularity
called. Several years ago woman In
that place and her husband Quarreled
over the best way of expouIding the
Scriptures to a Sunday school class, and
were so stubborn that they separated and
were finally divorced. This family con-
troversy was taken UP by the town,
which was soon distinctly divided be-
tween the adhereuts of the husband and
the adherents of the wife. The result
was a large crop of divorces, and seven
husbandIess women, including the orig
inal cause of the commotion, joined to-
gether and rented the town hotel. One
of them did the cooking, another was
parlor maid third made up the beds,
and so they divided the work among them
and ran the establishment upon the CO.
operative plan. They would nor employ
a man about the place, although the most
of their patrons were men, of course.
People say that women travellers prefer
red to stop elsewhere, and that would be
woman's way. One of the seven sane

slider the Commission an abiect failure. He

RAILWAY SHARES HIGHER
Vanderbilt Holdings Lead a General
Rise in Securities.
Reported Acquisition of the Boston

dustrials Decline Under Pressure.
London Houses Make Purchases.

New York, June 26.-The reported ac-
QUESTION by the New York Central Com
pany Of the Boston and Albany Railroad
the stock of the lessor road caused rapid
advances in New York Central and the
other Vanderbilt shares this morning.
While the report was lacking in. confir-
nation ii was commonly credited, and
New York Central scored a sharp advance
in London before the opening Of the local
market Apart from New York Central
there were noteworthy advances in Big
-Four, Chesapeake and Ohio. Northwestern
and Union Pacifcs and other stocks more
or less identified with the Vanderbilt name.
The railway list was generally very strong
in sympathy with the rise in the Wander
bilt shares. St. Paul. Burlington and
Quincy, Atchison, Northern Pacific, and
Louisville and Nashville were notably
strong.
Trading was active throughout, and the
market for these stocks had the tone of
confidence that has been developing there
for some time. In the face of the strength
of the railways the industrial quarter re-
fected pressure almost from the opening.
Some of these stocks opened higher. in
sympathy with the railway list, but
pressure soon appeared which was followed
by declines. This tendency was marked
IN the instance of American Steel and Wire,
and was plainly evident elsewhere in the
industrial quarter. The local traction
stocks were uncertain. Manhattan opened
firm. but reacted later. and Brooklyn Rapid
Transit. after opening strong, reflected
pressure.
London houses had buying orders in this
market in the early dealings. Profit realiz-
ing sales by the room traders upon the
opening advance caused fractional recess
sions in the railway list. but the under
tone in that quarter continued very firm.

There was time some six hundred
