The Mckinley House and Cafe Under New
Management.

Mrs. NJ. Brown and daughter, who
succeeded Mr.. j. A. Brown, the husband
and father as proprietor Of the Porter
House Cafe, have now assumed the
management of the Mckinley House
ia connection with the Porter House
Cafe. Mrs. Brown proposes to sustain
and even surpsss the good reputation
already established for the Mckinley
House. She has renovated and fitted
it up from gsrret to the first fl )or and
has added many new and attractive
features to the business. The accommo-
dat1on is first class and the rates are
within the reach of all. The Porter
House Cafe at 105 Sixth st eet, N. w,
has been so completely remodeIed that
1t would hardly be recognized by an old
patron. A complete set Of new bar
fixtures has been added, and were
made especially for this house. A
large stock of the choicest wines and
liquors and the best brands of cigars
have also been sdded. Messrs. B. Il,
Fields and John J Lswis are on hand
at all hours to give firstcla and gilt.
edge service to the many patrons Of the
house. Mrs Brown is fortunate In hav.
ing two such valuable aids. The two
places, the Mckinley House and the
Porter House Cafe are now under one
management and excel IN every vav
the services given in the past. When
you come to Washington, stop st the
Mckinley House, and for refreshments
go to the Porter House Cafe.
