New York, Oct. 21.-The proprietors
of the four hotels that we're raided by
Captain Gallagher. having softened
their anger somewhat by rounding uP
their imaginations to a good round
sum as to the damages they expect to
recover from Captain Gallagher and
the municipality, which employs the
gallant Gallagher, are having a great
deal of fun over a suit for $4,000 dam
ages that has been started by a man,
who, with his wife, was refused lodg-
ings because the hotel clerk wouldn't
register them. They couldn't produce
a marriage certificate when called up
on TO do so, having left home without
purposing to stay in the city all night.
The raided hotel keepers want TO know
what they are to do If they are sued
for not taking people in, and then
raided for extending the privileges of
their hostelIies to people of at least
seeming responsibility. Meanwhile,
the hotels have suffered severely for
the untimely intrusion of the police on
their privacy. How respectable these
hotels are may be judged from the
fact that Mrs. Jefferson Davis is
patron of one of them, and other ladies
and gentlemen of equal standing are
guests of the others.
! 1t was a brave deed of the old apoth-
ecary, Herman Frank who sat before
mirror in order to see a surgeon cut
down into his brain. He would have
none of anaesthetics, evidently being
so curious as to what had allied him
for these many years that he wanted
to see as soon as any one the first
fact that the scalpel would reveal. His
curiosity is not to be wondered at, for
the doctors had also been mystified
by the old druggists disease. When
the knife had done its work, and
there lay in the surgeons hand a cyst
whose growing had pressed on his
brain, and his organs of vision, so
that he walked as one having loco
motor ataXia, it must have been very
gratifying TO him to learn what had
been the matter as well as to feel that
his troubles from ii were over.
Lillian Russell is in law. She wants
her profits in Lady Teazle" The
fair Lillian as Lady Teazle." was
very charming, so charming, indeed,
that she really thinks that she should
be well pair for summoning all her
charms of speech, of expression, and
of figure, as she claims she did. AS
the house was crowded at every per
formance she concluded that the play
was paying well, and she only wants
half of the profits, which she feels
sure were large The Schuberts, from
whom she expects to receive the
money, says that Lillian is mistaken
as to the profits, that, instead of be-
ing large, they were small.
