authentic comprehensive history as
indicated, should be tine pride of tine

a history would begin win tine first
authentic migration of white people

Tine personal history of Gne first

The story of the churches, especially

New York, Feb. 25.-An auction of
white men the other night was the
spectacle that drew thousands of per-
sons to the Parkside Presbyterian
church in Flatbush. The action was
in reality an object lesson of the
conditions prevailing among working
people and served to get jobs for
number of men.
The church was crowded when Rev,
John E. Long began an address in
which he outlined the pitiable condi-
tions of many a man who was willing
to work but unable to secure a posi-
ton. Outside the church a crowd of
5000 persons clamored and struggled
to get into the already crowded house
of worship.
Mr.. Long introduced Edward 7.
O'Laughlin, who was to conduct the
auction. O'Laughlin outlined his plan
to which the men he would present
had agreed This was to offer them as
it were on the block to the person
who would give them a job through
which they could earn subsistence
and few dollars beside if possible.
The money end, however, was an after
consideration, as the men who had
come to him wanted food and shelter
principally.
Mr. OLaughlin then led on to the
platform so men, young and old, all
more or less shabbily CARRIED and dis
playing in their ways the pinch of
want All CT the men wore black
masks so as to conceal their identity
to all but purchasers. Each man was
numbered as they were put OH the
block.
No. 10 was the first man presented.
He was described as an iron worker
and molder, long out Of work and in
want and willing to work at anything.
Several men in the audience walked
to the platform and, as in slavery
days, critically surveyed the subject.
One man went so far as to feel Of the
mans limbs and muscles. 1t was final
ly announced that the man had been
sold" to w. F. Copeland, who would
give him employment in an industrial
association in New York. The terms
were not announced.
No. Il was the nextNup. He was de-
scribed as a man who had taken part
in the Boer war and who had been
service in the United States army in
the Philippines. He was an electrician
by trade. No. u went to a Flatbush
family, the name. of which was with
held by request 1t was announced
that the family would give him $55
month and board
No. 90, a painter, went to Newark,
n. j., man who promised him $40 a
week, while No. IA, a gray-haired man,
was taken away by young man who
said he would give him home and
work at once.
Thus six men in all were disposed Of
when, as the hour was waxing late, the
spectators, many of whom keenly felt
the scenes they had witnessed, formed
themselves into a committee, took
charge of the remaining "a men and

tempting through the wise use of the
and has from time to tune modified
the laws with this end in view. The
practical difficulties are great, but,
nevertheless, continued efforts are be-
ing made and every possible solution
is being considered. The commission
er of the public lands, having the dis
posal of lands in direct charge, is
studying from time to time the best
method of subdividing each piece of
government land as the lease expires,
but. with limited assistance and the
restrictions necessarily imposed, these
results come slowly.
The chief obstacles to more rapid
subdivision of lands and settlement OF
the Islands lie, first, in the prevailing
ignorance concerning the country and
it's possibilities; second, in the present
character of the land ownership;
third. in the presence of a great body
of Orientals; fourth, in transportation
problems; and, fifth, in the absence of
local or agricultural banks.
First Although the Islands have
been part of the United States for
more than ten years, it is probable
that relatively few persons on the
mainland seeking new homes or larger
opportunities are aware of the attrae-
tions afforded by the climate and fer
tile soil. This condition is being rem
edied by active efforts of the Terri
tory and of various semiofhcial organ
izatioas, such as the Promotion Com
mittee, which is circulating literature
and calling attention to the opportu-
mites.
Second The chief difficulty met by
a prospective settler upon reaching the
Islands is to find any piece of land
available for his use. It is true that
the Territorial government is subdi-
viding lands and offering these from
time to time, but most of the attrae
tive places are Immediately taken by
men resident on the Islands, some of

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 swlrled iercely
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 its in
terror How we'll the building was con-
structed is evidenced by the fact that it
came out of the stress and trial OF both
fire and it's Accomplishments without a
single injury other than the complete
destruction of everything 1nfammable
to be found inside of it's walls.
After the reaction of the first month
had passed, work was Immediately
commenced to rebuild and refurnish the
entire building, at a cost of over two
million dollars, the work of reeonstruc-
ton went on. Over a million dollars
was spent in interior fnishings 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 banquet
in celebration of the event. On the
21st of April, 1907, the. doors were
thrown open to the public with a splen-
did reception, to which nearly all San
Francisco cams
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
i cisco, the Fairmont stands monument
to the energy and determination of her
citizens
A Wonderful Hotel.
In it San Franciscans have hotel
of which they can justly be proud, as
in the matter of location, it stands
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

as one dimes, he may look out over the
bay and the shipping. Then there il
the beautiful grey breakfast room,
which is particularly well adapted for
private dinness, 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 friendly board. On floor A
is found the crypt, one of the most
unique cafes in existence. 1t is in the
corner of Mason and Sacramento and
is extremely popular with the business
men of San Francisco. 1t offers com
Portable grin and bar for men, where
special attention is paid to the cook

and efficient, and it is immensely pOpu-

men.
Epitome of Hotel Excellence. ~
The Fairmont, as it stands today, 10
the epitome of hotel excellence. Tho
vast experience which the Palace Hotel
Company had in the celebrated Palace
Hotel has been utilized in this house.
To Colonel John C. Kirkpatrick, General
Manager of the Palace Hotel Company,
was given the task of instilling 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 10
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
of delight, his leave-taking one OF re-
greet. and his memory Of the time 20
spent one of great pleasure.
Only hotel in the world in which
every room has bath.
The Fairmont Hotel offers to tho
traveller all the eonvenienees and Iuxu-
ries known to the best modern hotel,
together with many exclusive features,
some of which we have spoken of above
Every room in the entire hotel has .
bath attached. For $3.50 one may thus
enjoy a pleasant room, beautifully fur.
nished in mahogany, with dainty
white-tiled bath; or, for as low as ten
dollars, suite of rooms. Visitors to
San Francisco may rest assured that at
the Fairmont Hotel they will find only

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 it's roof at the same time, and
under such favorable conditions that
one assembly scarcely realizes there is
any other in the house.
Marvellous Outlook.
The view from the Fairmont is such
as to make the most blase and expe-
rienced globe-trotter stand in wonder
and amazement. From It's 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. Diablo 80 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.
In the Center of the City.
Chinatown, almost entirely rebuilt In
a new and better way, is but 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.
Unique Among the Worlds Hotels.
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 eosmo-
politan, and in it's halls will be found
the experienced travellers from every
country of the world.

Unequaled Entertainment Features.

The ball room of the Fairmont 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. It is decorated in
white and gold, with hangings of blue
satin tapestry. Its walls are covered
with mirrors, between which are decora-
tions by the most famous mural artists
of the world. And the ballroom is not
merely an ornament. San Franciscans
are 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
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, char
aeteristic of the Norman times. From
the lofty ceiling hang chandeliers OF
quaint design, made Of hand-wroaght
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 broad
tagged promenade, which overlooks the
Bay of San Francisco and the city
| Upon special occasions of large enter
tainment, the terrace is canvassed 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.
Numerous Dining Places.
Another thing for which the Fair
mont Hotel is noted is the number and
variety of its different dining places.
In them one may find 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
room is done in white and gold with
silken tapestries. From its windows,
