absolutely unsurpassed in the world. In
the matter of appointments, service, and
exclusive features which make hotel
life pleasant, it is without peer. The
Fairmont Hotel today has capacity for
taking care of one thousand guests
Its entertainment features are so nu-
merOus and so varied that, as has hap
pened. many times, as many as six diff
ferent gatherings, including banquets,
balls and public meetings, can be held
under its roof at the same time, and
under such favorable conditions that
one assembly scarcely realizes there is
any other in the house.
The view from the Fairmont is such
as to make the most blase and expe-
rienced globe-trotter stand in wonder
and amazement. From its windows flor
every room in this magnificent hostelry
is an outside room) can be seen the
superb panorama of the Golden Gate,
the Bay of San Francisco, crowded with
ships from all parts of. the world, the
mountains and hills of Contra Costa
| County on the other side of the bay,
with Mt. Diabo 30 miles to the south
east, and Mt. st. Helena over hundred
miles to the northeast breaking the
skyline. In the immediate foreground
of the hotel lies the busy city, in which
new steel sky-scrapers are rising in
place of the old style business houses
which were destroyed.
| Chinatown, almost entirely rebuilt in
new and better way, is but a few
minutes walk from the door of the
hotel. By means of the various street
car lines which pass its doors all parts
of the city, the ferries and railroad
| stations, the banks and exchanges, re-
| tail business and theater centers, as
well as the residence portions OF the
| city can be easily reached.
| The Fairmont Hotel differs from al
most any similar institution in the num-
Der of unique features which it offers
| for the entertainment of its guests.
Because of these, it is easily the social
center of San Francisco; you might
say, of the State. just as the old Palace
Hotel, which is now being rebuilt on a
new and greater scale at the old site
on Market street, was one of the most
famous hosteleries of the world, and
entertained guests of all nations, so the
Fairmont, under the same management
which SO adequately took care of the
affairs of the Palace. is most cosmo-

pohtan, and in its halls will be found
the experienced travellers from every
country of the world.
The ball room of the Fairm0nt Hotel
is one of the most beautiful, as well as
one of the largest, in existence. 1t has
one of the few spring floors to be found
in the country, making dancing pecu-
liarly delightful 1t is decorated in
white and gold, with hangings of blue
satin tapestry. It's walls are covered
with mirrors, between which are decora-
tions by the most famous mural artists
of the world. And the ball room is not
merely an ornament San Franciscans
are a very sociable people, and the rec
ords Of the ballroom show that it is
occupied an average Of three times a
week during the social season. Behind
it is the famous red banquet room,
which has, perhaps, held more distin-
guished company than any other room
of its kind west of Chicago. On the
floor below is the magnificent Norman
Cafe banquet room, hall of superb
proportions and simple grandeur. 1t is
the best illustration of a hall of the
Norman period Even the tesselated
floor is made of special design, a char
acteristic of the Norman times. From
the lofty ceiling hang chandeliers Of
quaint design, made of hand-wrought
iron in Paris especially for this room.
The long French windows, which cover
the entire north side of The Norman
Cafe, open on the terrace, a hroau,
tagged promenade, which overlooks the
Bay of San Francisco and the city,
Upon special occasions of large enter
tainment, the terrace is eanvasse3 in,
making another hall, almost as large as
the Norman Cafe itself. On warm days
the terrace presents an animated scene,
reminding one largely Of Paris or the
embankment in London. Here parties
of convivial spirits gather around the
tables where lunch is served in the open
air, overlooking the most beautiful
panorama of mountain and sea.
Another thing for which the Fair
mont Hotel is noted is the number and
variety of it's different dining places,
In them one may find a place to dine
as suits his convenience. The Laurel
Court, which is Immediately behind the
lobby, offers a convenient grill for
ladies and gentlemen. Further on is
the main dining salon, with aecommoda-
tions for three hundred people. This

Two years ago, when the fire was rag
ing at it's worst, the sight of the classic
outlines of the Fairmont Hotel, stand
ing out white against the black clouds
of smoke, lent hope to the anxious thou
sands. When the flames swirled fercely
about it, to many it seemed that the
last hope was gone. At that time the
Fairmont Hotel was just about to open.
Three years of time, and more than
three millions of dollars had been spent
in the construction of the building and
the fnishings and furnishings of it's in
terror. How well the building was con-
structed is evidenced by the fact that it
came out of the stress and trial of both
fire and its Accomplishments without a
single injury other, than the complete
destruction of everything 1nfammable
to be found inside of its walls.
After the reaction of the first month
had passed, work was Immediately
commenced to rebuild and refurnish the
entire building, at cost of over two
million dollars, the work of reconstruc-
LlOu went on. over mlIIlOn uOIldrS
was spent in interior finishings and fur
niture, and the magnificent appoint
ments of the house as it stands today
speak well for the care and taste used
in the selection. The formal opening
of the hotel to the public took place on
the 18th of April, 1907, just one year
after the catastrophe, at which time the
Chamber of Commerce gave a banquet
in celebration of the event. On the
21st of April, 1907, the doors were
thrown open to the public with SPLEEN
did reception, to which nearly all San
Francisco came.
The hotel was not fully complete at
that time. Some of the rooms on the
upper floors were not ready, but when
the Palace Hotel Company, which for,
merly operated the old Palace Hotel on
Market street, took hold, determined to
push things through, the work went on
with amazing rapidity. Today, more
than any other building in San Fran
cisco, the Fairmont stands monument
to the energy and determination of her
citizens.
In it San Franeiscans have hotel

in the matter of location, it stands

room is done in white and gold with
sllken tapestries. From its windows,
as one dimes, he may look out over the
bay and the shipping. Then there is
the beautiful grey breakfast room,
which is particularly well adapted for
private dinners, luncheons and BAN
quets. In other parts of the same floor
are found the special tea and card
rooms set aside for the use of guests
who wish to entertain in less formal
way. Then there are private dining
rooms, where organizations may meet
around a friendly board. On floor A
is found the crypt, one of the most
unique cafes in existence. 1t is III the
corner of Mason and Sacramento and
is extremely popular with the business
men of San Francisco. It offers a com
Portable grill and bar for men, where
special attention is paid to the cook
ing of steaks and chops and OLD cOun-
try dishes. The service here is swift
and efficient, and it is immensely popu-
lar as a luncheon place for business
men.
The Fairmont, as it stands today, is
the epitome Of hotel excellence. The

Company had in the celebrated Palace

To Colonel John C. kirkpatrick, General
Manager of the Palace Hotel Company,
was given the task of instlling into
brand new house the spirit Of hos
| pitality which made the old Palace Ho-
tel celebrated in two hemispheres. How
well he has succeeded in doing this is
evident the moment one enters the
doors of the Fairmont. For the Palace
Hotel spirit of hospitality enfolds one
like a garment, making his visit one

spent one of great pleasure.
The Fairmont Hotel offers to the

ries known to the best modern hotel,

some Of which we have spoken of above.
Every room in the entire hotel has a

enjoy a pleasant room, beautifully fur,

General Summary.

Unusually strong winds, generally

week over the entire section.
The mean temperatures were higher
than those of the preceding week-and
generally considerably so, excepting in
the Honolulu district of Oahu, the Koo-
Tau district of Maui, and in portions
of the Kohala, Hamakua and Hilo dis
trlets of Hawaii, where they were
slightly lower.
The relief afforded by the rainfall
during the preceding two weeks was
but temporary, and the need Of rain
is again being felt in the districts of
Hawaii and Maui, which have so long
and so severely suffered from drought.
The rainfall was below the average
for the week of ten or more years at
aii stations having such records, ex.
eepting in the Hamakua and northern
portion of the Hilo districts of Fla

kENFY FRIENDS. I've got nothin'
wi new to say to you-its the
old, old story I've told you SO
many times before. Christ was a poor
man himself, an he chose poor people
for his friends. He knows how hard
we have to work to keep alive, an he
pities US because were his brothers
an sisters-every one of us, don't care
how wicked nor how low.
Some of you may say: we didn't
get no chance, an the worlds against
US an even with Christ on our side
we we never had a show But let me
tell you now, your souls are the souls
that count. You've sunk to the bottom,
you know the bitterness an the cruelty
of life, an it's to you Christ wants to
show the beauty an the glory an the
light. When you an me, who've fallen,
rise again, We're bigger men an women
than if we'd never sinned at all.
Don't you think l know? Don't you
think I've borne it all myself? oh,
listen! Sometimes we find our Sin-our
terrible sin-is what we love most in
the world. 1t seems as if we couldn't
tear it off-it's flesh of our flesh an
soul of our soul. But, oh. when We've
we've conquered in that awful fight,
when we've nailed our bleeding hearts
to the cross itself-why, it seems as if
all the millions who have fought an
conquered since time began stretch out
their arms to pity us Those men an
women down the river of the ages-they
know: they understand. Because, like
you an me, they've gone down into the
darkest places am found the sunlight
streamin' there.
Remember, it's love that saves the
world They say it's strong as death
an. oh. | lnow-I know it's strong as
life. (Praying) o Christ, who some
think can never feel the secrets in
woman's soul-help all of us that need
you now; change our wickedness with
your own hearts blood keep us pure
an clean an strong-forever an ever
