OLD RUMOR REVIVED.
Report That Butler Exchange is to
Be Turned Into Hotel.
Captain Walter H. Hazard Mentioned as
the Probable Manager

A month or two ago there was a re-
port to the effect that Butler Exchange
was to be converted into a hotel, and
the story went as far as to say that
plans were being prepared, but the
agent Of the property emphatically
stated that there was no truth in the
story. Now, however, the rumor bobs
up again with renewed vigor. and cer-
tain persons claim that the change
from an office building to an hostelry
is to occur, but just how soon nobody
seems to know.
IL is claimed by those who pretend
TO know that the management of the
proposed new hotel will be in the hands
of Capt. Walter III. Hazard. now one
Of the commanders of the Providence
and Stonington line of steamers. Capt
Hazard has not given any endorse
ment to this story but inquiry in New
York. where the captain is now located
has tendency 10 show that there Is
far more than gossip in the story. II Is
that Captain Hazard who has had a
long experience in the line of looking
after the welfare of travellers, all parts
or the boat being under the direct
charge of the commanding officer, will
find this experience OF great value In
the management of hotel.
Those who have given the matter any
thought are of the opinion that the
Butler Exchange would make an ideal
hotel, when the necessary changes are
made. and the location is certainly one
of the finest. and most easy of access
to and from the new passenger station
Just what will be done remains to be
seen, but in the meantime the talk goes
on.

one.

part OF the evening was devoted to a
musical program, consisting OF a plano
solo by Miss Kate Slocum, violin solo
by Henry Dimon, with Mrs. Eckman as
accompanist, a song by Miss Julia ia
