ITS GLORIES ENDED
FAMOUS NEW YORK HooTELS
FORCED TO CLOSE. Y
Old Morton House, Where Statesmen,
Politicians, Actors, Professional and
Business Men Were Wont to Gather,
10 No More.

Subways and tunnels. which are re
ported to have proved blessings for
Boston hotels, have been the ruin Of
the Morton house, one of New York's
oldest hotels, and at one time one of
the city's best paying properties. The
house has gone into a receivers hands,
the employees have scattered and the
man who ran the hotel until the I'm.
deground route Of travel ran them and
The hosiery under the ground, too,
lay that no hotel man will tackle the
Job Of running the old house when so
many new ones are going up.
Nugent & Jackson, who rac the no.
tel until forced into bankruptcy, say
the tunnel ruined them. With the
blasting and the dirt coming in
through the windows for the past three
years they couldn't keep their patrons.
Things went from bad to worse, and
the hotel for which Grover Cleveland
had one signed an application for a
liquor license and where James G..
Blaine and other famous men could
always be found when in town, Is now
naTuly u memory.
The furnishings Of the hotel we're
sold at a receivers sale a few days
ago. The night before the sale there
was a wake at the old house. Some
OF the old-time patrons of the house
were there and had things to eat and
drink. The gathering was called to
clean out the food supply. but the par
ty was far from cheerful. Every one
felt that it was a solemn occasion, this
parting with an old standby.
James Morton became the manager
of the hotel in '6S. The name Of the
house was then changed to that Of
the manager.
Morton was a congenial man and
very popular. His house became the
stopping place Of all the men Of note.
Chester A. Arthur was often there.
The late James G.. Blaine could be
found there, too, when in town. Les
ter Wallack was then in the height OF
his glory and Shed Shook and A. M.
Palmer were enjoying theirs. Every
BODY of any consequence went to the
Morton house. Politicians. profess
sional men and ACTORS rubbed elbows
at the bar.
When Morton took charge he, OF
course, had to have a license to sell
liquor. The city had its W excise
bureau then and there was little for
mality about obtaining a license. All
that was necessary was for the appli-
cant to notify the excise board that he
wanted a license and they sent a no.
tary to him to swear to the applica-
ton. 1t was necessary to have two
witnesses as a sort Of recommended
ton. but that was all.
When the notary appeared Morton
failed to have his two witnesses on
hand to sign the application. In
fact, he didn't know the witnesses
were needed and he expressed some
surprise. His remark was overheard
by a heavily built man who happened
to come into his office.
whats the matter, JIM" said the
newcomer.
"Why, | want a witness to this doc
ument," said Morton.
I'll sign It," said the newcomer.
He grabbed a pen and affixed the
name Grover Cleveland" MI. Cleve-
land was then mayor Of Buffalo and
n patron of the old hotel as well as a
friend Of its manager.

oldest dinner which has ever been
eaten. A description was given by

He says: "At the dinner l ate apples
that ripened more than eighteen hun
dred years ago; bread made from
wheat grown before the children Of
Israel passed through the Red sea,
spread with butter which was made
when Elizabeth was Queen of Eng

Jar taken from the ruins of Pompeii.
The wheat was taken from chamber
in one of the Pyramids, the butter
from a stone shelf in an old we'll IN
Scotland, where for several centuries
it had lain in an earthen crock in icy
water, and the wine was recovered
from an old vault in the city OF
Corinth. There were six guests at the
table, and each had a mouthful OF
bread and a teaspoonful of wine, but
was permitted to help himself bount1-

pounds of it. The apple jar held about
two-thirds of a gallon. The fruit was

but he knew how to control the undis-
ciplined patriotism of the country
and mold to his will the rather un.

who yesterday presided for the last

loses useful public servant. Fitting
testimony to this loss was rendered
in court by the representatives Of

word was spoken by Meyer Cohen, a
"probation boy" when he said, lit
tie hoarsely:
II was one of the first boys to come
under you. You've been the best
friend I ever had. You seemed to
care whether I was square or not,
an I wish that you wasn't going away
from here"
Perhaps Justice Mayer was tri1e
hoarse also-the weather has been so
treacherous-when he replied that he
should always take an interest in his
young friend, and that there are lots
OF you here in New York who don't
have half a chance"

more than some poor boys get, and
because il. they were put with hard.

might hereafter have no chance at
all, that the children's court was
