FAMOUS HOTEL.
Windsor Was PatrOnized by Veal
thy and Exclusive PeOpIe.

Windsor Was PatrOnized by Veal
thy and Exclusive PeOpIe,
NEW YORK. March 1.-THE windsor
hotel was seven stories high and almost
square In form, had a frontage of 200
feet on Fifth avenue and occupied the
entire block, between East Forty-sixth
ter Of the building was eight stories in
height. 1t had also two wings, each
seven stories in height and seventy-f1ve
feet in length. There were more than
800 rooms in the hotel: The building was
chiefly of brick and was INTELLECTUALLY
simple. 1t was thoroughly equipped for
fighting fire and had pumps equal In
force to six of the most powerful fire
engines in the city. 1T cost about $3.50, 900
to build. The Windsor buildings first
owner was John Daily, and the building
was first opened as a hotel in October
1873
The Windsor for many years was one
of the most exclusive hotels In the city
and was in the height of its glory up to
ten years ago. 1t was the rendezvous of
all the great Wall street operators from
the days of Commodore Vanderbilt and
Daniel Drew The hotel became known
as "Wall street by night" because of
the visits of the great financiers.
President and Mrs. Mckinley always
stopped at the Windsor, and celebrities
of all kinds were its guests.
Mr.. Leland, the proprietor of the hotel,
took charge of the Windsor shortly after
the close Of the worlds fair in Chicago.
There was 100000 insurance on the
building and $4,000 on the contents. Ell
bridge T. Geery is the present owner of
the hotel property.

FEATHER ROBE.
Garment Was Made by the Ortiz In
dfaps Of Old Mexico

Garment Was Made by the Ortiz In
dams of Old Mexico.
Denver Post.
A feather robe is being exhibited by
F. l.. Taylor, Kansas City travelling
man, who is at the Columbia hotel. Moth
ing like twas ever known before in
Denver, and he regards it as one of the
strangest curios that are produced by
the Indians Of Old Mexico.
The robe is large enough for a bed
spread, but serves best as an ornament
for g. parlor floor, couch, or, in the
absence of q portiere, looks we'll hung
under an archway.
The feathers from four wild geese and
two sand hill cranes from this most
unique robe. There are two geese breasts
side by side on each end and the breasts
OF the cranes in the center. The wings
Of the birds are placed beside the fiat
tened breasts, nothing having been omit
ted by the makers except the necks and
the heads Of the fowls.
Only three of these robes" said Mr..
Taylor, ARE known to have been made.
The Ortiz Indians commenced the work
last year and made two. This one was
the first since the others were disposed
of and it was by accident, perhaps, that
I procured 1t.
Il had gone about 40 miles south of
Ell Paso to look at the country and no
ticed an Indian with this robe on his
arm. He was walking to Ell Paso to
sell 1t. He could not speak English and
through Mexican interpreter 1 made
the trade for it. These Indians have
made business for years of construct
i've work. The feather ornaments are
traded to other tribes which make blan-
kets and moccas1ns and buckskin apparel.
Their interchange of wares has thus been
mutually advantageous
Last year two New Workers travelled
into the Ortiz Indian country and noted
the genius with which the feathers Of
wild fowls were preserved and woven
into articles of use. They We're especial
ly taken with the two robes they saw
and purchased them for comparatively
nothing. When the Fasteners returned
to New York with the robes all their
acqua1ntanceS who saw the trophies
wanted some just like them and an FL
Paso curio man was instructed to buy all
he could get, without regard to price.
He had ordered the Indians to make some
and would likely have secured the one I
got If the Indian had not sold 1t before
reaching Ell Paso.
''The curio man in that city offered me
s100 for 1t, but it is not for sale.
1.-THE most difficult task in their manu-
facture Is to cure the skins so that they
will retain their feathers. After being
tanned on the inside the wings are at
tached to the breasts by wet rawhide
thongs L suppose the squaws purchased
the outing flannel which forms the under
side from a local supply store
The edges of the outing flannel are
crudely scalloped by hand and the en-

to the sick and feeble. his friends were
using Paine's celery compoun1-the only
spring medicine that physicians endorse,
and intelligent families in every COM
nunity have come to rely upon with con-
fidence.
Mr.. Guerra was not long in finding out
the great reliance that is thus placed
upon Paine's celery compound by the
best informed people, and he was not
slow in taking advantage Of the great
remedy himself. Here is his statement,
unqualified, conclusive:
Kansas City. March 16. 1898.
AT times, when have been seemingly
exhausted from arduous work. Paine 8
celery compound has been of such benefit
to me that It seems now I could hardly
have progressed but for 1t. When sleep
was slow in coming and my appetite flag
ged, a general ton1ng UP of my system
followed the use of the compound While
I am not versed In things medical. 1 do
know a fact when / encounter it, and
that Patne's celery compound helped me
and gave me feeling of new strength

DREAMS OF INVENTORS.
Som etfmes They Get Valuable Ideas
While They Are Asleep.

While They Are Asleep.
Washington Star
1T is wonderful how many persons got
their first ideas Of what afterward prov
ed to be valuable inventions while asleep
or dreaming" observed a patent office
examiner to a Star reporter. Others
after working for weeks or months on
an invention during their waking hours,
have had the whole thing come clear to
them during dream. On the other
hand, L have known inventors to see in
their dreams the iInpractieability of their
inventions on which they had obtained
patents and to change them so that they
would be practical. In withdrawing their
applications for amendment or improve
ment there are numbers of instances
where inventors admit that they got
their better idea during a dream. Some
or the most successful money-making
patents were in this way dreamed rather
than worked out.
1T may be that the ordinary inventor
Is more OF dreamer than anything else
Certain 1t is that nine-tenths of the pat
ents issued do not pay enough to paw
even their own expenses, and there is not
one In thousand that pays anything
like big money to the inventor or any
one else. There are very large num-
Der OF instances where inventors have
been granted all the way from five to
forty patents. not one of which has paid
us expenses or is ever likely to do so.
Like In everything else there seems to be
less necessity or opportunity for fnven-
lions as time passes along, though there
Is as much room and sale for good
things In this line as there ever was.
Capital Is always ready to pick I'D
and advance valuable invention,
though 1t takes but little stock in any
invention unless there Is something more
solid about it than dream The mere
fact that the dream is Endorsed by the
official patent plays no part with it, I'M
less the patent itself is of value Capital
don't invest much in dreams of any
kind"

BOUGHT HIS OWN COFFIN.
Now He Promises His Wife Not to
Get Drunk Amy More.

Get Drunk Any More.
From the Philadelphia Record.
There is young man whose home is IN
the northwestern part of the city who has
promised his wife to hereafter lead a lie
of sobriety, principally on account of the
ridiculous position in which he placed
himself one day last week. He had been
one of the guests at a friends bachelor
supper, given at leading hotel, previous
to the latter's marriage. and, being c,ose
acquaintance of the host, the uptown
young man extended too many congratu-
lations over the glasses. After the dinner
the party separated, and the young man
started to walk to car. On the way he
passed an undertaker's place and was at
tracted inside. where he proceeded to Sc
lect casket and white shroud, giving his
own dimensions to the undertaken. The
customer acted rather strangely. but the
undertaken put that down to grief.
The young man proceeded home and to
bed. and about an hour later the servant
Of the house opened the door for the I'M
dertaker's men, who carried in an leo
box and the casket and shroud before the
wife could be informed. When she came
downstairs she almost tainted at the
sight, and when told of the order given
by her husband she woke him up and
asked who was to be buried in the shroud
and casket He Yves puzzled at first, but
when it became clear to him that the ar
ticles had been delivered he said they had
better be kept in the house while. as he
felt that he would need them. He then
turned over and went to sleep The wife
persuaded the undertaker's men TO take
the things away, and the next day the
young man made an expla nation to the
man to whom he gave his premature or
der.
