CHEER FOR LONE WOMEN.

When the Hotel Breslin. at Broadway

business next month, the management

In any sense woman's hotel. Mere man

Stockham. vice president Of the Bresn
Hotel Company, who will be the active
manager. has evolved scheme to make the
lone woman comfortable. Stockham's
scheme is TO provide maids or chaperons
for the women. The maids will. il desired.
act as guides and shopping companions
The personal guide game never achieved
great popularity in this town, and it re-
ceived a setback last summer when a con-
Germ was started here by WON IN to send
out pretty women guides with lonely men.
Mr.. Stockhams scheme, however, makes
no provision for the lonely male guest
and he doesn't intend that it shall. The
man who is lonely in this town deserves to

II is different. They may want to come
here to shop, but they don't want to be Gagged
up in their hotel room all alore all evening
II Stockhams scheme works WE'LL they
won't have to. His maids will willingly
take them to the theatre or any place else
they desire to go. OF course, the lone
woman foots the bill.
If the lone woman notifies the Breslin,
the hotel will send a maid to meet her at
her train, get the baggage to the room
and make the newcomer comfortable. II
the guest is unmarried and very bashful.
the maid may even take her to and from
the dining room. Mr.. Stockham means to
get distinctive dress for the maids. but

street. 1t isn't likely that any woman,
no matter how lonely, would 20 around
with white capped maid tagging after
her. Stockham says the black and white
uniforms will be worn in the hotel anyway.
On the left sleeve of the black gown will
be embroidered in red silk the coat OF arms"
of the hotel and the letter B. Says Stock
ham:
The woman who is obliged to come to
this town without her husband or some
male member of her family and finds her
self in hotel among strangers and with
out any friends in the city, is pitiful sight
to see. You will find such women in the
corridors and parlors of all the city hotels.
They look absolutely miserable. I know
they are miserable, for hundreds have told
me so.

Prof. Weber OF Heidelberg Has Been South,
Studyin the Race Question.

BALTIMORE, Oct. 2.-Prof. Max Weber.
occupying the chair of political economy
and social science in Heidelberg University,
is in Baltimore. He is studying various
questions on this side Of the water, among
which is the race problem, He referred
to the fact that he had visited Tuskegee
and said that in his opinion the race problem
was the great social problem before the
American people to-day.
Prof. Weber said that at Tuskegee and
Atlanta he found the negroes working
hard to better themselves. The trouble
in the South, he said, was that the whites
had no platform for the betterment of the
negro. He said he had asked fifty different
men concerning the black man and had
heard fifty different opinions The solu-
ton to this problem, said the doctor. lies
with American conditions and their de-
velopment

There has never been a case in the
