ROBERTS OFFICE. ELEGANTLY
 FITTED
Wet Goods House That Will Be the Finest in the Southwest Occupies Two Floors and to Serve High Class Lunches,

When George Roberts and Scott Whaley open the doors of 6heir new "Cffice" saloon on Main street on Wednesday afternoon. the public will see the finest wet goods house that has ever been built in the southwest. The building itself is of brick and stone throughout, with two floors above the sidewalk and commodious basement finished in cement.
 The interior decorations are the best that painters art could produce, and the establishment is work of art. No stone has been left unturned 10 make the place the most elegantly apointed resort to be found in any city os the west.
 Besides a palatial bar on the ground flcor, there is a cafe on the upper fioor for the more solid needs of the inner man. The barroom is finished in qusrtered oak with walls and ceiling in tinted colors. The building is fight ed throughout with both gas and cleo tricity.
 In he front of the building on the second floor lounging and writing room is being fitted up for the use of patrons and the public at large, while two large round tables set upon Ter sian rugs furnish seating loom Tor cafe patrons On either side of the room two Pullman tables-removable are stationed for the use of guests when the main tables are in use. The furniture on the second floor is of the mission variety entirely and lends to the other settings most antique ap- pe3rance.
 Lights are placed at the tcp of the entrance to the grill room, which is reached from the rear of the building by stairs and heavy colored glass en- cases them.
 Lavatories and washstands in the rear of the second floor room gives the whole a decidedly swell" effect.
 The footboards and mop boards of the barroom are of Italian marble.
 The cooling facilities are equal. if not superior, to those in most markets where the refrigerating of goods is absolutely essential.
 Messrs. whaley & Roberts will open their doors at 2 o'clock Wednes- day of this week. For the first two hours none but gentlemen escorss and their ladies will be admitted, entrance being through the rear doors. No ser vice of the commodities of the house, for which it expects to become fa- nous, will be made during the ladies hours, but at 4 p. m. th- front doors will be opened wide that the public in general may view the place.
 The expenditure of money to make the office" the finest in the land has nol been stinted in the least, and it's elegance, together with the reputation of popular George Roberts as a caterer to the public, augurs well for run of trade that assures the success which this firms enterprise SO well deserves.
 The firm wishes it understood that only ladies and escorts will be admit ted to simply view the place in tae early part of the afternoon of Wed nesday. The admittance of ladies at all is due to the fact that several re- quests have come from gentlemen of the city that their wives be permitted to see the place

One Told by Eitzaerald.

Ex-Congressman Fitzgerald of Bos-
ton, who passed the summer at Old
Orchard, told this story of the clam
bake of the Robbery club, held at
Pine Point late In August:
A chaplain had been called upon TO
oficiate for the regular clergyman in
congress early in the term. The min
lister was about to conclude his pray
er, and reverent silence peryaded the
big chamber, when the members were
startled to hear the following sentence
drop from the lips of the chaplain pro
tenn : May corruption and sin in
every form be as far from every mem
ber of this body as Thou art, o
Lordl"
It was several seconds before the
members fully grasped the meaning OF
the clergymans prayer. and when II
did it was unanimously In favor OF
having another substitute when the
