New-York tribune., 1903-03-01

A man Of forty years, ragged and dirty, drifted
down the 'Bowery the other night In the utterly
air1leSs fashion Of many os that motley crowd.
He tackled into Chatham Square where his atten-
ton arrested by the blazing lights OF the new
Salvation Army Hotel.
Nothing doing-might as well 90 bed he
rauttered to himself.
A dirty hand went into his pocket and he drew
out a few small COINS counted them, and put them
back.
Seems & shame to pay for sleeping when can
hardly afford to eat" ne remarked to no in
particular.
He hesitsted in mis- indecision for minute. and
then went into the Office.
Give me bed" he said to the uniformed clerk
He paid his Is cents and gave the expansive name
OF Smith.
The bathroom is downstairs"' the clerk said
pointedly-
Let it stay there" snapped the man. 'Im
going to bed" He started for the elevator.
Hold on. my man: hold on said Major John c.
Smith. who has charge of this latest venture for
the army; no to bed IN this hotel without
first taking a BATH
The man looked increduloIs.
DO you mean for to take a bath?" he asked
Don't you think you need it?' questioned the
officer.
Me take a bath!" exclaimed the fellow, when
he saw that Major Smith was really in earnest.
Me take bath in the winter time! No. sir;
take them in summer. Why, I'd catch my death
CT cold
Then you'll have to sleep somewhere else" said
Major Smith. handing the Is cents which the
man had paid for his bed.
The man went. and in going said things.
1t is this rather peculiar rule which has caused
the new lodging house TO be dubbed Hotel de
Tathr' 1t is fer story brick building which looks
out on Chath.m Square from the north side and
doEn upon all of the surrounding buildings. 1t
stands on one OF the highest spots below Twenty
Ghird-st.
There are eight floors of dormitories and nineteen
priyate rooms. The price OF lodging is Is cents
q night or 81 week. A private room is 10 cents
more The batl with towels and soap, is thrown
In without charge.
In the early evening the bathroom in the base
-7eut is busy place. There eight slate booths
fitted with shower and needle baths. Most OF the
guests" arc glad of the chance to make them
selves clean and look upon the bath a positive
luxury
In another basement room are three tubs. In
which the men can, wash their clothes. There is
p!enty of soap and there washboards to spare.
Some men put everything into the tub, from their
sacls 10 their coats and There Is drying
machine near by. and by the time the men have
finished bathing their clothes are dry. This is
1000 thing 70. few of them have change Of
apparel
II q case Of early to bed for most OF the men.
More than haIf of them are called before O'Clock

HUMOROUS SIDE OF LEGISLATIVE LIFE AT ALBANY.
"ISSY' COINS EXPERIENCE WITH COHOES DANCE
DINNER THAT WAS NOT EATEN.

"Dere's some one as wants to speak with Mr.
Issy Cohn." said the belboy.
"He can't do it," replied Mr.. Bourke. Mr.
Cohn is in the bath. Who wants to see him?'
Some bloke in New-York." said the bellboy.
He's on the long distance"
We'll, then" said Mr.. Rourke. as he knit the
first loop in the skein Of the plot, you tell the
clerk to take the message for Mr.. Cohn. Hurry,
now, before the battery runs down."
Mr.. Cohn was just in the midst Of a scene
when Mr.. Bourke knocked on the door Of the
bathroom.
Message for you over the long distance tele-
phone" he said in answer to Mr.. Cohn's
"Hello""
Book and bath were at once abandoned, and
the Assembiyman from de Ate" hastily dressed

them Albany after dark Take them up on the
Capitol steps and let them count the electric
lamps. There's lots Of ways you can entertain
guests in Albany
Mr. Cohn was at last reconciled and turned the
tickets over to N-r. Bourke, who Immediately
distributed them among his fellow Brutuses- An
hour before the ball Assemblymen Bourke, Ellls'
Butler, Mccormack. Cadin, Grattan Cook and a
dozen or more others boarded train for Cohoes'
while Mr. Cohn wandered about the bleak sta
ton waiting for Florence Sullivan, MS olstrIcC
leader, and the something big.
The dance proved to be gala affair but the
Cohoes bellies kept asking after Mr.. Cohn with
such persistency that it was with the greatest
difficulty that the plot was kept secret BE-
tween the dances Mr.. Butler, the Assemolyrnah
from the IXth District, sang ditties used IN tne
Devery campaign, and told stories ABOUT bls
BnI' which charmed the maidens or Conoes.
Mr. Butler is also master OF the DeVery
method of speaking English and his singing
is regarded by his friends as equal to that OF
Andrew Mack or Chauncey Olcott-
But the hearts of even the hardest or the
conspirators were touched when they returned
to AIbanv to find the little Assemblyman still
waiting at the station for his leader His guests
had come and gone. Despite his overcoat, Mr.
Cohn was shlvering with the cold. 1t had oeen
planned to reveal the plot and nave huge
laugh all around; but no one had the nerve"
as one of them put it, to "break the egg. Tney
finally persuaded him, however, that MI Sulll-
van would never come that late at night and
got him back to his room.
Mr. Conn's experience, however may turn OUT
almost as good the something Dig OF the
telephone message. His Tammany friends. to-
eether with the big Democratic leaders, could not
helm hut be impressed with the devotion of the
little LEGISLATOR to his leader and what he con-
sidered his duty. In politics Mr.. Cohn has thus
shown that he considers pleasure of secondary
Importance, and such are the kind Of men
wanted for promotion from the ranks. AS re-
suit small sized boom is under way to make
Mr.. Cohn Congressman in 1904. and among the
most enthusiastic of these boomers are Messrs
Bourke, Ellis and Butler.
New-York tribune., 1903-03-01

At the House of Commons" where the Re
publican leaders of the Assembly eat and sleep
man out their battles of debate or twist the
fuses of political mine and cOuntermine, they
are still telling the story of THE dinner that
was not eaten"
It all came about through an invitation which
Sneaker Nixon received from Washington L.
Jaoues. of the Murray Hill Hotel. New-fork'
and Frank \. Balm. of the Palatine Hotel, of
Newburg to attend with his fellow common
ers'' a. dinner at the Hotel Ten Eyck in Albany
The understanding was that the Assemblymen
sbould he down to the hotel about . o'clock. at
which time their guest would arrive on New
York Central train.
The fact that two hotel men Of such promi-
nence as Messrs. Jaques and BAR were to be
the hosts led the legislators to think that the
dinner would exceed their fondcst expectations.
and accordingly they began training for it day
in advance They curtailed their appetites as
best they could, ate pickles instead of sweet
stuffs and drank large quantities OF aperlent
water. Assemblyman Morgan. who had turned
over a new leaf this session with the resolve
that he would smile hour each day. forgot
his VOW. and all showed the severe discipline of
bodv and mind which they were undergoing.
When the fatal night came it was found that
the dinner party had been cut down in numbers
for the reason that Assemblymen Morgan and
Burnett had to go out to dinner elsewhere be-
cause of previous engagements James IL
Graham the secretary to Governor Odell. had
accompanied the chief executive of the State
to Washington Will. Assemblyman Dlckenson
of Cortland was compelled to stay at home.
At thirty minutes of the hour of . a party OF
five consisting of Assembymen Nixon. Rogers,
BedelI Fowler and Apgar left the House OF
Commons" All were faint from hunger. After
waiting about the hotel for nearly twenty min
utas one of them made bold to inquire at the
dsak n either Jacques or MIR. Balm had en-
Gagged rooms Nothing, it said had been
hoard of either one. Another dreary twenty
minutes passed and still no Balm or Jaques.
Some one teleohoned down to the station and
found that the train had come In half hour
bofors hut still no Jacques or Balm. The Speaker
bv this time complained of a headache caused
-, 1ocl oF nourishment and Mr.. Fowler whose
,ntroduetIon of skunk bill this session has won
him marked recognition in the Assembly. at last
confessed he had pains In the small OF his back.
After a short parley it was decided to return
home where the wouldbe diners found Assem-
blvman Dickenson warming himself before
an extensive dinner. The chef scurried about.
.'pjcked up meal. which at last allayed the
headache and backache OF the Chautauqua
County members. Some hours later. when Mr.
Bedel was just getting ready for bed the tele-
Dbona rang. and this voice sounded over the
wire:
..fIeIlo, Here we are, Jacques and Balm just
got in. Missed train. Too bad, bae cant Dc
