It involves, of neces- sitl5. hotel life during the visit and 1t is safe to say that the carefully dis crinlinating visitor will select the Hotel St Regis, at Fifth avenue and Fifty fifth street, if only he is fully acquainted with it's exceptional advantages This hotel is sufficiently removed from the rattle and chatter of metropolitan traf- fic to secure that restful quiet one is ac- customed to at home In its superlatiyely elegant appointments, It's perfection of service. and it's exquisite cuisine, sur- passed by no restaurateurs in the world, the St. Regis takes precedence over any hotel in America. Yet nothing Is over elaborate or ostentatious it's whole at- mosphere is distinctly homelike, and it's rates are markedly reasonable, quality considered Restaurant charges are no higher than other frst-class hotels. Room may be had as low as 8 and $4 day for a large. handsomely furnished single bedroom; the same with private bath for S5 a day Cor s6 for two people, or SIP a day and up for an elegant suite of parlor, bedroom and private bath.

 ders For Plaintiff.
APPEAL WILL BE TAKEN

Meridian, Miss, April 15-(Special.)- IA s10,oOo libel suit against the Star Pub fishing company. brought by Murry Ell lis of this county, came to a very sud den termination in the circuit court. this afternoon. When the alleged libeious pub licaion was presented as evidence 1t was objected to by counsel for the de- fense. The jury retired and argument on both sides followed.
 Judge Buckley read the article and ruled in his opinion that there was nothing libelous in it and therefore he would not admit it in evidence. The ruling dissolved the suit so far as this court is at present concerned as the plain tiff had nothing else on which to predicate a case.
 Counsel for Ellis gave motive of an ap- peal to the supreme court The case had attracted widespread attention, about 100 witnesses having been summoned and the courthouse was filled with spectators.
 The complained of publication was rela- tive to the printing of the confession of 8 negro in which he implicated Ellis The negro later declaring that his con fession was untrue and which was not published by the paper in question.
