a FIRST CLASS HOTEL.
What the ThrOop Is Under the New
Management-Exce FaciI-
tiles and Up-tO-Date.

In some recent editorials, the Wich-
tia and various other newspapers,
charge Topeka with being unable to
handle the various conventions that
come to the capital city, asserting that
our hotel facilities cause a great deal
of complaint. This, together with
some other charges, come as a sur
prise to those who are acquainted with
the superior hotel accommodations of
this city.
No other city in the state of KAN
sas can boast of such excellent hos
telries as can Topeka, and but few
cities in the southwest could support
such a hotel the Throop of this city.
1t is the finest, largest and best equip
ped hotel in the state, and would be
a credit to a city twice the size of To-
peka. In crowded times this famous
hotel has been known to accommodate
nearly six hundred guests.
1t is a weIl-remembered fact that
the building and site of the Throop,
exclusive of the furnishings, cost
nearly 100000.
It is conceded fact that this build
ing is nearer fire-Droof than great
many hotels that advertise the fact
that they are fire-proof.
A State Journal representative re-
Gently made a trip of inspection
through the Throop. The halls. the
rooms, and the working departm ents
all show evidence of having been well
planned for size, light and conven-
I
spacious and beautiful. The public
rooms on this floor are just now in the
hands of the decorators; in fact, in
nearly every portion of the house
changes and betterments of some kind
are being made, and made by Topeka
workmen. The private bath rooms
and all the plumbing are the most
modern and sanitary kind. A splen-
did hotel telephone system is being in
stalled by the Independent Telephone
company, each room to have a tele-
phone by which it will be possible for
the guest to talk to the office, locally
in the city, and even to the adjoining
cities. without leaving his room.
1t is wel1-known fact that in a
first-class hotel betterments and
changes of some kind never cease. be-
ing necessary by change of condition
etc, no matter how modern the house.
The Hamilton Hotel Co, proprfetors
of the Throop. have an enviable record
as hotel people. The popularity of
their Grand Hotel at Cedar Rapids.
Iowa, is second only to their recent
acquisition in this city.
Topeka has other good hotels, and
plenty of them, too, but the Throop is
the acknowledged leader in reputa-
ton. size and appointm Any city
outside of Topeka. in Kansas, or most
| anywhere else, will have hard work to
equal much less excel our hotel
facilities.

AS CHRIST WOULD DO 1T.
Colony Is to Be Formed on. This Plan
-a~ by Marion, Indiana, Man.

Marion, Ind. Dec. 29-To found a
colony as Christ would do it. To build
and conduct a city as Christ would do
it, is the scheme of A F. Norton of
stores in Marion and surrounding towns
that he conducts as he says Christ
would conduct them. He sells for cash,
receiving small profit, refuses to sell
tobacco, cigars or anything that would
be an injury to anyone.
Norton has conducted a. number of
railroad excursions as he thinks Christ
would conduct them. He closes all of
his stores when he conducts an ex-
eursion to some lake or city for a day,
taking all of his employees with him.
He has also conducted excursions to
California, and while taking his party
across the continent the officials of the
Union Pacific Railroad company were
attracted by his business methods and
he was appointed land and passenger
agent for the company for Indiana.
Norton has decided to purchase
a large tract of land in the state of
Washington consisting of many thou
sands of acres.
When asked about his scheme he
talked enthusiastically. He said: "I
have been working on the deal for
some time and have my plans about
completed. 1 will purchase enough
land so that large fertile farms can be
sold to members of the colony. 1 have
not decided on the name to be given
the town, but have several names in
mind. The town will be free from sale
of liquor and tobacco. The deeds for
all land will contain a clause making
the sale of liquors on the land for
fixture of title. My colony would not
be a success if the sale of intoxfcants
was permitted. Whisky and success
are bitter enemies. If man would
succeed he must think of this. The
people in my colony must live as they
believe Christ would have them live"
When asked what class of people he
would invite to live in his colony he

The red headed man near the rear door
of the street car was inveighing against
plumbers to eager listeners, and he final
" clinched his arguments by looking
around in a defiant way and saying:
Ibid any one of you ever know or hear
of a plumber who died a. poor MANI
81 know of one case" replied a man
who had been reading his newspaper with
seeming intentness.
.'Then let us hear it.
s'It was the case of my own father who
was a plumber. He invested ST, 00o. 900
in a steamboat line and during hurri-
cane every single craft in the line went
to the bottom. He died a year later and
he didn't have money enough to pay the
undertaker'S bill.

Toulon, France, Dec. Blowing to a
crisis in Morocco, the navy yard here
shows the greatest activity. Prepara-

Charlemagn and Lena and two cruis-

if the crisis accentuates.
Paris, Dec. 29.-Ambassador Porter
called on Foreign Minister Delcasse
today and discussed the situation in
Morocco which is seriously occupying
the minister. No definite naval or

upon, but it is evident that France is
determined to act decisively unless the

That vast Antarctic continent exists, perhaps
twice as large as that of Europe, is in the opinion of
a writer in the National Geographic Magazine
proven by the reports appearing of the recent ex
plorations in that region. This writer says: "The
American Commander Wilkes, returning from the
far south in 1s41, asserted the existence Of vast
south polar continent and described his voyage Of
1,500 miles in sight Of the coast Ross, however re-
turning after, discredited Wilkes conclusions
saying that the land seen by Wilkes was merely
great wall of ice The world has been in doubt which
to believe That Ross was wrong and Wilkes right
is very evident from the report of Captain Scott Of
the British Antarctic expedition Of 100000. Cap.
tain Scott shows that the mass of ice seen by Ross
is in reality extensive glacier resting on land and
covering the land like the ice cap Of Greenland The
glacier is about TOO miles wide, and reaches the sea
through plain lying between Victoria Land and
Edward VII Land. The German expedition under
Won Drygalski, working so degrees of longitude
farther west, also found a somewhat similar expanse
of ice capped land whose limits they were unable to
trace, but which is apparently part of the same
Antarctic continent

THE TROUBLES OF MR.. SHAW.

When st. Louis induced the United States gov

fair most people congratulated the Missouri metrOp-
oils on having pull enough to get the money But the
situation is not so pleasant after ALL as will be readi-
y discovered by the following editorial utterance of

Secretary Shaw appears to be somewhat con-
cerned about the ability Of the ST. Louis world s fair
management to pay back to the government in the
manner stipulated the $4,6O0,0O0 that it borrowed
from the treasury through the authorization Of con-
gress The secretary has begun to ''walk the floor"
little early, it would seem, inasmuch as more than
week must elapse before the first instalment from
the gate receipts is due. No doubt, he is worrying
much more than President Francis Island with
reason
The latter's position is far more enviable than
