died on October last, since which time
Mr. Edward RenneTt has acted as manager
The hotel, with most Of Mr.. Rennerts other
property, was bequeathed to Mrs. RenneIt.
The hotel is one of the handsomest
buildings in the city and its commanding
elevation makes il prominent feature in
the topography of Baltimore. II is six
stories high, with attic basement and eel
lars. Ii has a front of ninety three feet
on Saratoga Street. and extends back on
Liberty Street 10 Clay Street. When bui [

guests who applied for accommodations
there and the property in the rear was
purchased and the building was extended
practically doubling its capacity. The no.
tel is constructed of stone and pressed
brick laid in red mortar. The base is of
Maryland granite. The entrance is on
Saratoga Street through a poTtico of rich
ly-carved stone. The corner of the build
ing at Liberty and Saratoga Streets is
marked by a round tower rising 105 feet
from The ground. Another tower marks
the corner at Liberty and Clay Streets
The building is finished in hardwoods.
marbles, elaborate frescoes and stained
glass. The furnishing Of the house is OF
an elaborate character.
The building was erected under the per-
sonal supervision of Mr.. Robert Rennert
Work was started early in 1883. AS a prac
teal hotel man. VINO had studied well the
subject he insisted upon his ideas in the
planning OF the building. He also observ-
ed that number Of important structures
in this country had been erected TOO rap
idly, with subsequent disastrous results.
So ne took about TWO years and half of
time in which TO erect his hotel. II was
built entirely by day work and Mr.. Rem
merit himself paid every laborer and me-
chanic employed every Saturday evening.
He gave the closest attention TO every de-
tail Of construction. so that not even the
most trivial point was neglected.
The hotel was completed and opened 10
the public Monday October ;, 1885. Mr.
RenneTt celebrated the completion by
housewarming the Saturday afternoon be-
fore. friends being invited by card.
4 singular coincidence is that Mr.. Rem
merits death occurred precisely thirteen
years after hs gave the housewarming.
Many persons Of State, national. and in
ternational prominence have been guests
at the hotel. Important political confer
ences have been held there by city and
State leaders of both the leading parties
Many large banquets have also been held
there.

MAKE A TEST OF sTUART'S DYS-
PEPSIA TABLETS,

No trouble is more common or more
misunderstood than nervous dyspepsia.
People having it think their nerves are to
blame and are surprised that they are not
cured by nerve medicines. The real seat
OF the mischief is lost sight of. The
stomach Is the organ to be looked after.
Nervous dyspepties often do not have
any pain whatever in the stomach, nor
perhaps any of the usual symptoms of
stomach weakness. Nervous dyspepsia
shows itself not in the stomach so much as
in nearly every organ. In some cases the
heart palpitates and is irregular; in others
the kidneys are affected, in pliers
the bowels are constipated. with head
