From the New York Hotel Reporter

This evening at IL o'clock, with a
throng of society people in attendance,
the remodeled gentlemen's grille OF the
Albany hotel was formally opened and
christened. Miss Sampson. society edi-
tor of the Denver Republican, named
the room the "Italian Garden" and by
this name it will be known hereafter.
Miss Sampson and her party of friends
occupied one end of the pretty room,
and at signal from Proprietor Dut-
ton, in a few words. announced the
name she had selected. Following the
naming of the room the invited guests
were served with champagne in honor
of the occasion and it was late hour
before the merry party broke up.
The new room is most attractive,
with its decorations Of ferns and palms
and the beautiful fountain in the CEN
ter, with its jets of water upon which
are thrown vari-colored lights, is bound
to be extremely popular with after the
theater patrons. This dining room will
be reserved for gentlemen during the
day time, but at night it will be open to
both ladies and gentlemen.

How to Cure a Cold

Be as careful as you can you will occa-
sionally take cold and when you do, get
medicine of known reliability, one
that has an established reputation and
that is certain to effect a quick cure.
Such a medicine is Chamberlan's cough
remedy. 1t has gained world wide
reputation by its remarkable cures Of
this most common ailment and can
always be depended upon. 1t acts on
natures plan, relieves the lungs, aids
expectoration, opens the secretions and
aid nature in restoring the system to a
healthy condition. During the many
years in which it has been in general use
we have yet to learn Of a single case OF
cold or attack Of the grip having resulted
in pneumonia when this remedy was
used, which shows conclusively that it is
certain preventive Of that dangerous
disease. Chamberlain's cough remedy
contains no opium or other narcotic and
may be given as confidently to a baby
as to an adult. For sale by Fred Long.

A Tip For Advertisers

Did any one ever see card of thanks
or an obituary painted and posted up in
some mans pasture beside the road for
the passerby to read? We never did.
They are always found in the columns

not your advertisements also be?-

Bakers Advent Surely hdTks
The Passing Of Jimmie Collins

The fine third basing Of jim
mile Collins understudy, young
Baker from the Tri-State league.
during the series which the
Athletics played here, surely
marks the passing from the ma
jor league arena Of the once
great third-sacker under whose
management and with whom as
its infield star the Boston AM
erican league team won two pen
nants and a worlds champion
ship.
Collins was left behind when
the Athletics started west, in
order that Baker might be tried
out. He has made good with a
rush.
Baker Is ideally built for the po-
sition, being rangy and fast, He
Is a fair batsman and a fast
base runner. In Detroit he play
ed up closer under the bats OF
the Tiger slugger than any OF
the regular third-sackers of the
league have dared and got away
with 1t, there being very few
balls hit through his position.
while on hunts and high bound
ing drives he was simply dead
ly.
