(Atlanta Journal, 29thD

Owing to the unusual wide-awake-
ness that is being displayed by

country, the Pinkerton Detective
agency has warned the banks in this
section to keep their eyes skinned for
suspicious characters and to exercise
uncommon altertness.
Dark, stormy nights are especially
cited as times for care. and it is point
ed out that harmless looking ped
dlers, who shove greasy bills at the
paying teller to be changed into
dimes and nickels, are really the ad-
vance agents of NSeggmeA'' bands and

sARRooMs IN THE BIG Ho1ELs
Are Being Driven From the Field BY
the 6oudoir Buffet.

The magnificent hotel barrooms,
which we're feature OF Broadway life
4 decade ago, are being driven from
the field by the boudoir buffet. Old
time hotels like the ST. Nicholas, the
New York, the Metropolitan, the Nor
ton house. Union Square, Coleman
and others that made New York bar
rooms something to talk ais:t a few
yeas ago almost have gons sut OF ex.
!steoce. Barkeepers and mixers Of
special drinks that made them famous
either have gone to anothe. sphere or
into other business. and there are
none TO take their places. To cite the
most conspicuous example the famous
elliptical bar In th. Hoffman house.
which Edward S. Stokes made the
talk Of two continents, has been taken
away. The collection OF expensive
paintings. so famous that a special
view hour each morning was appoint
ed for women, has been dispersed.
What was once the most magnificent
barroom in the world in now very
commonplace cafe in comparison with
the more modern New York hotels.
There is small barroom in another
part of the hotel which bears about
the same relation 10 the sumptuous
Stokes mcnage as pushcart does
% pony carriage This is true OF all
the big hotels. The waiter and small
table have put the barkeeper out Of
business. In many Of the new boudoir
bars II customer steps up to the
small bar and orders a drink he is
asked to take seat at one Of the ia
Ties and waiter will carry the drink
10 him. This usually involves a tip to
the waiter that approximates one-half
the price Of the drink. The old-time
barkeeper complains bitterly at the In.
novat'on Of the foreign walter in the
barroon or cafe.
