The Jefferson was built by the late Maj Lewis Ginter, six years ago, and was regarded as one of the most beautiful hotels in America. It cost $1,800,00O, and was designed by Carere & Hastings of New York. It was of Moorish architecture. It had become one of the most popular hotels in America, and many New Workers stopped there. The hotel, after MT Ginter's death, was run by the Ginter estate, and was largely controlled by George Arents, of New York. With the exception of the Franklin street front, which is small part of the building and which is slightly dam aged, the whole structure is in ruins.

NEW EQUIPMENT
FOR MIhITIAMBN
Members Soon viii be Sup.
piled With Latest
Krag Rifles

Staff officers of the First Delaware
Regiment are doing all in their power TO
bring the National Guard up to the
standard. That their efforts are meeting
with no little success is evident as Colo
mel Townsend states that members of the
guard viii be supplied with new rifles Of
the Krag pattern. This statement is
highly pleasing to the guardsmen, and
formed the sole topic Of conversation at
the Armory last night. The Krag is
much lighter in weight than the Spring
field, which is being used at present and
will give better results in every way.
Besides being issued new rifles, which
will arrive at the Armory in a few days,
the militiamen also will be supplied with
belts Of new pattern, haversacks and
canteen, and in fact everything necessary
for field service.
Everyone connected with the guard Is
of the opinion that an encampment would
be the best thing possible, as at present
the members are given but little induce
ment TO remain in the service.
Colonel Townsend states that an effort
is being made to secure new rife ranges
for the companies of this city.
