THE ST. MARTIN HOUSE.
Opening of Donaldsonyille's Splendid New
Understanding About the Way
the Rntldfng is Eauipped.

Opening of Dona1dsonyille's Splendid New
Notwithstanding About the Way
the Building is Equipped.
The st. Martin House, the latest adj
dition to Donaldsonyille's line of hos
/ telries, was opened for business Tues
day morning and has already "made
good to a gratifying extent. The
old Board of Trade building in Mis-
sissippi street has been repaired and
enlarged in such way that it is vir-
tua1ly new structure and presents an
exceedingly neat and attractive APP
pearance. The house is named after
it's popular owner, Sheriff S. Fl. ST.
| Martin, and Guy Landry. the clever
young son Of the late Sam Landry, is
| officiating as the man behind the regis
| ter. Geo. Calvin has been engaged to
| take charge of the kitchen, which is
tantamount to saying that the cuisine
will compare favorably with that of
any other hostelry in the state. The
dining-room service is all that could
be desired, and in fact there is nothing
about the St. Martin House that is.
not frst-class in every particular.
The building contains tWenty-four
bedrooms, each fitted up with electric
lights and call bells. The furniture,
which was supplied by the local firm
of r. Henderson & Bro, is of quail
ity seldom found in country hotels,
and the beds are particularly fine, be-
ing made of iron and Of a size that as
sures satisfaction and comfort. Each
is equipped with felt mattress and
the cleanest of linen and blankets.
There are sanitary closets for gentle
men on both foors-the bathroom be-
ing down stairs-and a cosy toilet and
bathroom for ladies on the second
floor, with hot and cold running wa
ter. The upper floor is warmed by d |
mammoth stove located in the hall |
and capable of generating an immense
amount of heat. In the rear of the |
ground floor is a big refrigerator, |
sWllCu Is hGpG SuOChGu Will ISL, OyS- |
tiers, game and other good things to
eat. Meals will be served at all hours
and the filing of short orders will be
made a specially. Ladies are invited
to make use OF the parlors while wait
ing the arrival of boats or trains, and |
if a lunch is desired it can be furnished
at any time and with the greatest pos
sible celebrity. A feature of the new
hotel that is calculated to make i par
ticularly attractive to the gentler sex
is that there is no bar in connection,
and assurance is given that the best
of order and decorum will be main
tanned at ali times. Mr.. St. Martin ex
poets to be in the building a great
part of the time and is giving his close
and entire attention to the manage
ment of his new enterprise. On Sun
days a special dinner will be served
from II to O'Clock for the price Of so
cents, and the menu will comprise the
finest delicacies the market affords.
All in all, the ST. Martin House is an
ideal place at which to board or lodge,
and it will be strange indeed if DON
new hotel doesn't achieved
fame and fortune. The Chief bespeaks
for the hostelry a liberal need of pub
lie patronage. /.

NEW SCHEME TO
ROB A RAILROAD

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 2S.-A black
mailer, with the terror of dynamite as
the force behind his threats, is trying
to rob the Southern Pacific Company
of $4,000, and fear of death to passen-
gers and wreck of property on the road
between Stockton and Los Angeles
holds the corporation officials in ner-
vous dread. Night and day lynx-eyed
Pinkertons, railroad detectives and
county sheriffs and their deputies are
keeping watch along the lonesome
stretches of track where the dynan1iter,
through letters mailed at Fresno, says
he will use the agent of destruction that
is his ally unless he receives the mon
ey demanded. After the method used
by Gravelle, the notorious Montana
wrecker, a red light is to flash in the
night as the train bearing the treasure
goes by and the bag of gold is to he
flung out beside that light. The wreck
a few days ago at Volta is now sup
posed to have been caused by this mys-
ferrous threatener.
