rooms OH either side, having mosaic
floor and modern equipment. Almost
in the center of the corridors are
public ladies' and gents bath rooms
and linen closets, two ON each floor.
The arrangement and furnishing
of the third floor is almost identical
with that of the second floor.
The rooms are all large, we'll lighted
and furnished with view to the great
est comfort to the occupant. There
are fifty-one guest rooms in the build
ing. The servants quarters are in
the northeast corner of the building
on the Sd floor, inclosed from the rest
of the rooms, and are finished excellent
ly bath room being set apart for the
servants special use.
The basement occupies a prominent
place in the structure, for it will be
utilized to great advantage. Beneath
the store rooms in front each will
have a convenient room for storage.
The rear is practically ON level with
the surface of the ground, and has good
light from three sides. FIR ON the east
an entrance is made to the finished
part in the rear, which has cement floor
and is finished with rooms having
plaster partitions. There are in the
basement two large well lighted SAM
pie rooms, water closet, vegetable cell
lar, wine room, laundry. with CON-
plete outfit of slate tubs, etc., fur
nished with hot and cold water. dry
ing room, coal room, boiler room, etc.
The boilers are in the northwest cor
ner; one is 10 and the other 16 feet
long, the small one to be used in the
fall and spring, and both when the
weather is most severe. The plant is
modern in every respect, and there is
ample capacity and radiation to heat
the entire building satisfactorily.
Besides there is small water heater
for summer use and 500 gallon tank
from which hot water is forced to all
parts of the building.
A linen shoot runs the entire
heighth of the building, down which
soiled linen, etc., may be sent to the
laundry below.
The plan of the building is so ar
ranged that every room, including
bath rooms. has at least one outside
window. Above the nam entrance
and above the kitchen, and on either
side of the entire building back OF
the ladies' and servants entrances,
are wide openings or court ways,
which afford ample light and ventila-
tion to every part of the building.
One of the most convenient features
of the hotel is complete long distance
telephone system in every room. This
takes the place of the ordinary bell
system, and is great convenience
both to the management of the hotel
and to the guests.

court way and along cement walk
to the rear entrance.
Just west of this is the barber shop,
a very neatly designed and decorated
room, occupied by Richard Bucknell,
who has fitted it with handsome oak
fixtures of modern design. In the rear
of the shop are two convenient bath
rooms and lavatory, for the use of
his customers.
Between the barber shop and main
entrance is the bar, a very attractive
room, leased by A. w. Lyon of Min
neapolis. This is furnished with
elegant mahogany fixtures, the walls
and ceiling are beautifully decorated
with branches and clusters of roses,
and in fact the entire room is fitted
up in keeping with the rest of the
building.
Between the main entrance and
ladies entrance are two fine store
rooms, which have not as yet been
leased.
The main stairway of the building
mentioned above leads to the second
and, third stories, where the guest
rooms of the hotel are located. About
the stairway are wide foyers from
which corridors lead north and south
to the sleeping rooms. The foyers
and balconies above the office are fur
nished with upholstered seats, wicker
rockers, writing desks, etc., with
handsome rugs upon the floors, mirrors
and pictures ON the walls, etc., and
afford delightful resting places fo1
ladies and gentlemen.
In the front of the building are
twelve large rooms which will com.
pare very favorably with the finest
hotels of the country. There are ssiS
on each floor. three on either side OF
the opening above the entrance. These
have large plate windows, and are
elegantly furnished with fine Wilton
rugs, a leather upholstered Morris
chair, writing desk and chair, center
table, rocker, wardrobe, dresser, etc.
The beds are of metal, with box springs,
hair mattresses, white blankets and
counterpanes. The entire equipment
of these rooms is of the very finest,
and practically the same style is fol.
lowed throughout the building. These
front rooms, with the rooms directly
back of them, are in suites, and con.
nected with finely furnished bath

shop, all bath rooms, lobbies, rotunda,
etc.. have flake mosaic floor, construc-
ted by the same firm that did the work
ON the court house. 1t is an excellent
job.
The vestibule, lobby, and rotunda
have beautiful Tennessee marble
wainscoating, which adds greatly to
the beauty and stability of the build
ing.
The public spaces on the main floor
and about the rotunda on each floor
have handsomely executed ornamental
plaster work which has been tastily
decorated in ivory and gold and adds
greatly to the beauty of the building.
The decorations throughout have
been painted by Mr.. Zach of Chicago.
who is an artist of recognized ability,
and has done some very beautiful
work III original and attractive de-
signs and coloring.
The danger in case of fire has been
given special attention and has been
reduced to the minimum. Four mod
ern fire escapes, at the end of each
corridor and on the sides, convenient
of access, make the liability to loss
of life almost nothing. Besides, from
the west court, from the balconies,
from the rooms on either side of the
open space above the entrance in
front and the kitchen in the rear,
one could step onto the roof and easily
get to the ground. Stand pipes with
fire hose attached are also supplied for
each floor for use in case of fire.
The plan of the building is excellent
for fighting fire, for it is practically
divided into four sections with open
spaces ON the outside and wide cor
ridors inside. Should fire start in one
corner it would be reasonable easy to
confine it in that section of the build
ing.
Mr.. N. L. Bailey, the lessee of the
hotel, comes from Hastings, MINI.
and is hotel man of twenty-eight
years experience. He has invested
over $12, 900 in the furnishing of the
hotel, and gives every promise of be-
ing the right man in the right place.
In fact, the hotel company feels that
it is exceedingly fortunate in securing
him. Himself and wife and two sons
will devote all their energies to con-
Quoting first class house in every
particular, and the citizens of DEBORAH
will give him every assistance within
their power.
Mr.. Bailey and wife will have direct
supervision of the running of the
hotel, with the following employees as
assistants: Fred Bailey, day clerk
Robert Bailey, billiard room; Mr..
Waters, night clerk; A. W. Bowman,
steward Henry Halvorson, Olson

LLOYD LOWNDES: THE MAN
Pen picture of Former Governor,
Bringing Out Some Of His
Characteristics.

The late Lloyd Lowndes had per-
sonaIity which was understood by few
people save his intimates, and these
loved him as much as he permitted
them in his own way. He wa friend
to those for whom he cared, and rare
ly vengeful enemy. for when he
found his trust in people in whom he
had confidence had failed they drop
ped out of his life and he rarely re.
ferred to them.
Mr. Lowndes' main characteristics
were, perhaps, the devotion to his
home and his family and his straight
forwardness in all his business deal
ings. He was a power in Western
Maryland financial institutions and
his keen judgment and his perspicuity
we're relied upon and were almost al
ways correct. He was Interested in
nearly every large business enterprise
in Garrett and Allegany counties and
in large number in Baltimore and a
great many in West Virginia towns
contiguous to Cumberland. His name
was in the directorate of many of
these institutions anu ne wfeided
power of influence.
OF late years former Governor
Lowndes had become reserved. quite
in contrast to his demeanor of former
years. when he was more active. He
was transformations and modest to a
degree of bashfulness and would
rarely put himself forward on any oc-
casion.
In his campaign for the governor
ship in which lie was successful he
got closer to the people of the State
and they to him than ever before. He
seemed to break down the reserve Of
years when he entered into the polit-
ical fight and he displayed an astute-
ness which was marked-BaItimore
