Toney was a good boy up to about

Erin Street Fulton, but Toney met Geo.
Wright, of this city. and the two decided
to do a globe-trottins stunt of the most
strenuous kind. They skipped out. ano
after short tour of the British Isles
they reached Belgium. Here Wright be-
came homesick. abandoned his pal, and
as a stowaway landed about a month at

to Mrs Silva that Toney had gone OF
to Portugal, but Toney never wrote a
word home Of his intended itinerary
through Europe. His mother waited anc

alive. Recently she applied for. the money
due from death policy carried on the
boys life, and this is now in allegiance.
Several days ago Mrs. Silva received
a letter from Toney dated at San Fran
cisco, Cal. Toney was very vague in what
he had TO say. and again refrained from
divulging the direction of his tour. He
also failed to tell how he got from Por-
tugal to Frisco. His friends believe h

RICHMOND HOTEL
COMES TOO HIGH.
Wi. Cost $500, 900 More 10, than
Mrs. Atkinson Thought-Con,
siderable Delay Caused.

While there have come unexpected de-.
svelopments. which will of necessity con-
Ssiderably delay the actual construction
Of the new Hotel Richmond. planned by
Mrs. A. ID. Atkinson, of the Lexington.l
to replace the ST. Claire al Grace and
Ninth Streets, Mrs Atkinson said yester-
day there is no doubt that the new hotel
will be constructed if she retains her,
,ea1th. This delay in the matter IS que
to the fact that each of the nine DIGS
received and opened last week is far. IN
excess of the sum of money Mrs. Atkln-
son wishes to put into a hotel
Originally. Mrs. Atkinsonss purpose was
to construct a hotel building which would
not cost more than $780, 600. with. rea-
sonable margin. Architectural plans
were made for a building which was es-
.tinlated at 100000. but the lowest of the
nine bids received by the architects and
opened last week in their offices in Balti-
more was s435, 900, more than $1,000 in
excess of what was intended. This bid
was that of the Cramps. in Philadelphia.
The highest bid received was one OF
s4S9, 000.3 and the other bids ranged high
and low between the two.
Now, Mrs Atkinson, through the ar
cfitect and the Cramps. is figuring. to see
if It would not be possible to cut these
expenses considerably in many details,
and when this cutting process has been
again, This trimming will be principally
Of the lavish decorations planned in the
original specifications, and one or two
material changes may be made in the
plans, according to her, ideas, to bring
the sum total within a more reasonable
distance of the amount intended for in
vestment, and at the same time to pre-
serve the general plans of the architect.
The land site which was to be used for
the new hotel cost Mrs. Atkinson some
thing like $4,000, and since its purchase
its value has steadily increased. In the
the event, therefore, that it be desirable.
this property could be sold at a handsome
profit. Meanwhile, it seems probable
that if the architect and the Cramps
cannot reach. some figure which will be
acceptable to Mrs. Atkinson. she will
have new plans drawn throughout. The
delay consequent upon these changes
may extend over several months, but
Mrs. Atkinson is confident that the new
Hotel Richmond will be a reality within a
year or so, and that at a figure some-
where near what she had counted on.
