FAMOUS
HOTEL MUST CO
GRAND "FlFTH AVENUE" WILL
GIVE PLACE.To-oFFlcE BUILD
ING-BUILT IN 1859 AT COST
OF TWO MILLION.

New York, July 6.-The news that
the Fifth Avenue Hotel. the Madison
Square theatre. and adjacent build
ings must soon disappear to make
room for a great twenty-five story
office building. will interest people
all over the world who cherish memo
ries of old New York. There is but
one other hotel in the city, and that
the old Astor House, where Dickens
and Daniel Webster rested from their
travels, that can surpass the Fifth
Avelue in "reminiscences of the past
half century. When in 1859, at cost
of $2,000,000. the hotel was completed
on the site of famous old tavern,
Madison Square was little more than
an outlying pasture. For almost forty
years 1t has been a center of affairs
of wide Importance to the city and
the nation. Men of note from all
over the world made it their head.
quarters when they came to the me.
tropolls and financial deals of vast
Importance were contaminated there.
It was at the Fifth Avenue hotel in
1867 that the movement to nominate
Grant for the presidency was started.
and as politicians came to frequent
the place, many plot was Matched in
the corridors even before the Amen
Corner" was established by Republi-
can politicians in the heyday of
Thomas c. Platt's success as a leader.
Grant was sheltered by its roof. as
was every other Republican president
since Lincoln, foreigners of note. men
of letters, and men and women
famous in many other fields. When
the Prince Of Wales. now King Ed
ward VII of England. visited New
York on his American tour. II was at
the Fifth Avenue that he stopped.
The first regiment of volunteers re-
cruited for the Union army at the out
break of the Civil war stopped there
on its way sonth from New England.
and after that, all through the war.
military and naval officers and civil
leaders made the place a rendezvous.
In 1887 Prince Devowongsc of the
siamese royal house, and four sons Of
the King Of Siam dined at its tables
and received guests in one Of its most
Injurious suites. The first passenger
elevator I'm New York was installed
there and a tablet now marks the site
just of the main corridor. Not the
least interesting thing 10 note about
the change is the rise in real estate
values indicated BY the price. $780,
900. for which the hotel has just been
sold. This IL almost double what it
brought when the Emo estate was
settled up twelve years ago.

THIS is MY 18TH BIRTHDAY.

Lord Peel, who may be said to be
the originator Of the Temperance Leg
islatiOn League in England, was born
August 3, 1929, the youngest son Of
the great Sir Robert Peel. who was
finally responsible for the adoption
by England Of the policy of free trade.
Lord Peel was educated at Elton and
Balliol College, oxford. On leaving
the university he travelled a good deal.
and did not enter parliament until he
was 36 years of age. This was in
1865. During the next few years he
filled a number of important official
positions, among them secretary to
the board Of trade, patronage secretary
to the treasury, and under-secretary to
the home department On the retire
ment Of Sir Henry Brand I'm 1884. Mr.
Peel was elected speaker and cOntin-
ued to mold the post until 1895, amid
general expressions Of good will from
all parties In 1895 he was elevated
TO the peerage. During late years
Lord Peel has given much Of his time
and attention to the cause of temper
ance, of which he is an ardent advo-
cate. He Is a man OF magnificent
presence, great dignity of bearing. and
a fine command Of persuasive elo-
quence.

When you go home this evening,
after having finished your weeks
work, sit down and quietly think over
the many advantages you enjoy by be
ing a citizen of this good old town,
and seriously ask yourself why these
benefits are possible. OF course the
fact that you have a good business or
a good job, and attend to your duties,
fr pcTsUIlsTi C0IITOT Is,
but beyond these there are still other
advantages of a general character
and there is a reason. The Herald
believes it is because we have a pro.
gressive people in the lead, who do
many good services for the town.
Mayor Hearne and his official family
have figured out another benefit for
the town, to be given to the town
without additional cost in the way of
taxes, and that is the paving of two
more of our business thoroughfares.
All they ask at your hands is to vote
them the right TO do this work As a
good citizen you are not going to deny
this privilege. are you2 There is op-
position to this movement, but Il will
be well to study this opposition and
see what is behind IT, The Herald
does not undertake TO say that every
man that is opposed to the paving is
actuated by selfish motives, but IL will
say that there is much selfishness
behind the opposition The Herald
can see no reasonable grounds for any
opposition to paving the two addi-
tional business streets. Can you name
a reasonable excuse for opposition?

PRINTERS HOME AND UNION.

The Herald gives considerable
space today to an article on the
Printers Home and the Union. 1t IS
an article worth reading by the gen
eral public, because it will tend to re-
move some erroneous ideas concern
ing the men who are engaged in the
art preservative in this country. The
union is one of the strongest in the
world. and the Home, located at Colo
RADIO Springs, Colo, is one of the
greatest institutions of its kind in
this country The writer visited the
Home while in Colorado last summer,
and was impressed not only with the
magnificence of the property which
belongs to the printers of the United
States. but with the great work being
carried on there in caring for INDECENT
printers. 1t is one Of the pretuest
nur1UI1aI -ir0z---s1zi
cation in this country, and is haven
of retreat for the broken down men of
the trade.
The impression has long prevailed,
and for a while was justified, by con-
ditions, that printers were to large
extent shiftless and unreliable, and
in "the good old times" as the say
ing goes, the hobo printer was a con-
spicuous figure in this country. But
this is not so any more; the hobo is
an almost unknown person now in the
printing world, and the workers are
in the main steady, sober, intelligent
men. Possibly more than any other
reason for this may be taken into &C
count the improved machinery for
printing, the linotype and other late
inventions. To operate these new
appliances it requires good men, and
no others can make good.
A few words are said concerning
the local union, composed of young
men well known to most of our peo-
pie. The local union does credit to
the great organization to which il be-
longs. Read the article in this paper.

The press Of the state cannot well
