PHILADELPHIA'S FIRST CLASS
HOTEL
An Up 20 Date Place.

The need of a frst-class hotel in
this ty for the accommodation of the
travelling public, especially the Colored
travelling public, IS emphasized by the
big prices which prevail in such hos
teleres IS the Walton, Continental
aud a few others that put up their
prices or become suddenly CToWdedGl
when a respectable negro with his wife
or daughter seeks accommodation. 1t
is gratifying to learn that an enterpris-
ing negro business man has established
such hotel in this city of Brotherly
Love ,One which does not discriminate
against either white or COlOred people
Who seek accommodations for them
selves or their friends. 1t is a credit
able beginning and should have every
encouragement from the public The
protector of this enterprise is Mr.. I. l..
Craig, and his house is located at 1872
and 1874 Lombard street. 1t has all the
modern conveniences, II is comfort
ably and tastefully furnished, Is heated
bv steam and lighted throughout by
electricity. 1t contains twenty-five
rooms, a cafe, bath and toilet and
all the comforts of a home.
the service is tirSt-ClasS. and the
house is kept open all night. A hotel
like Craig's should by all means be
sustained, because when the people
who patrOnize public houses discover
that il does not draw the color line so
long as prospective patron is respect
able and able to pay for his accOmO-
dalion, 1t will relieve some of those
public houses whose managers are re-
duced to the Necessity of lying outright
or deliberately refusing TO accommo-
date those whom they regard as unde-
Sirable patrons. Jet who are so ne
times able TO pay as others. We hope
the Craig hotel will secure a regular

The Chinese have the idea that milk
revives the youthful powers, and that
it has special virtue as a winter food
for old people. Pictures and charac-

the value of it for baby food, would

THEIR ORIGINAL MEANINGS.

Shrewd once signified evil or wicked.
Thomas Fuller uses the expression "a
shrewd fellow" meaning a wicked
man.
The word prevent" originally meant
nothing more than TO go before. 1t Is
used in this sense in several places in
the Scriptures.
Prejudice was originally nothing
more than a judgment formed before
hand, the character of such judgments
being best indicated by the present
meaning of the word.
