a. sad contrast. The marble, and black
walnut in the building areA the most
valuable things left in the old hosiery,
the main staircase alone having enough
marble and black walnut to bring a
handsome penny
The hotel was considered a palace
when, more than fifty years ago, it was
opened to the public. Sir Henry irving,
Ellen Terry. the duke of Westminster,
Nine. Modjeska, Denman Thompson,
Campanini, and others equally famous
have lived there. For years 1t was the
stopping place of well to do families
from out of town when they came to
New York to buy their smart clothes
and attend the opera. At the West
minister lived for many years Edward
MacDowell, the composer. who died
there. His wife only recently gave up
her rooms when she sailed for Europe.
Hugh Grant made 1t his home for many
years, and used it as his headquarters
in the campaign in which he was
elected mayor. 1t was the meeting
place of the State Chess association and
other bodies.
Besides Siattery, who. it is said. has
saved a comfortable sum from his
earnings in the hotel and will now re-
tire from active work, are number OF
employees old in service here. Barney
Shelton, the engineer, has put in more
than twenty-five years; Jim Carr, the
boot and shoe cleaner, has also twenty
five years to his credit. In the laundry
are two women who have worked more
than twenty years in the hotel; and
among the chambermaids and scrub
women are a score with long records in
the old building.
The hotel has changed to some ex-
tent in appearance since it was origi-
nally built. Thirty-five years ago an
extension was put on both the Six
teenth street and Irving place sides. 1t
is said that the ground on which the
hotel now stands was once the site of
graveyard. When the extensions
were finished thirty-fve years ago the
bar room was moved from the corner
of Sixteenth street and Irving place
back to the far end of the Sixteenth
street extension, and has staid there
ever since.
Within few weeks the hotel build
ing will be RACED to make room for q
modern office and loft building.

FINISHED DRESSING FOR
THEATER IN CROWDED CAR

Passengers on a West Duluth car the
other evening saw strange sight, says
the Duluth News-Tribune. 1t was the
car due down town at a quarter past
s, in time for the theater, and as it
score of persons might have been seen
rushing down in the general direction
of the car track.
One couple had started a little later
than the rest The man had dilly dali
lied over his paper little too long,
and the woman had started to get sup
per later than was wise for a person
who likes to proceed leisurely about
getting into her wearing apparel.
This couple climbed on and made
bee line for the rear seat. Both were
out of breath from the excitement of
having tfreater tickets and then nearly
missing the car. After they regained
their normal respiration the man, first
looking around to see that not too
many were looking, reached over and
finished hooking his wife's dress in the
back. Then he dropped newspaper to
the floor carelessly, and leaned over. A
careful observer might have noticel
that he was doing something to his
wife's shoes with button hook. After
that he laced up his own shoes.
There was something about the mans
appearance which seemed strange, but
the spectators did not realize what II
was until they saw him pull necktie
from his pocket and put 1t on.
By the time the car reached Fifth
avenue west the toilet of both the
theater-goers was about complete.
"And next time" the wife was heard
to observe to her husband, maybe you
will not fool around till the last
minute
