NOTED HOTEL AT AUCTION
Building Where British Officers Were
Deceived for Sale,

New Yorw, May 1.-the Murray
Hill Hotel, at Park Avenue and 10th
street, was put up for sale at public
auction to settle the estate OF the
late Hugh Smith, owners of the prop
erty. The hotel was opened i'm 1884
and has ever since been among the
best known hostelries I'm the metropo-
lis. Probably no other hotel in New
York occupies a site richer in histori-
cal associations. 1t stands on ground
that belonged to the country estate
Of Robert Murray. n quaker merchant
in the early days of New York.
Through the Murray grounds marched
Washington and his army on their
retreat TO Harlem Heights. and in the
Murray house Mrs. Murray detained
and entertained the English officers
long enough for Washington to rally
his men about him and make des-
perate though unsuccessful stand
against the enemy.

TO BE ENTERTAINED OR TO
ENTERTAIN? THAT'S THE ?
Letter to Village President From
Detroit Businessmen Seems to
Settle Question
VISITORS TO HOLD RECEPTION

To entertain or TO be entertained?
That's the question that now confronts
the merchants of the Portage lake
towns in connection with the junket
sent out by the Wholesalers and Man
ufacturers' association of Detroit, which
will reach Houghton and Hancock on
the twenty eighth day of this month
and stay until the early morning Of the
thirteth. Many OF the local merchants
have been talking OF arranging some
sort of entertainment for the visitors
but letter received here yesterday by
Village President Miller states that
the visitors will be the hosts and the
business men the guests on this occa-
sion.
1t is generally expected that when
visitors of more or less prominence I'm
any way come to visit a community
like the copper country that the resi-
dents, especially the business men, will
see that they are properly entertained
but in this case IL is a little different. |
The purpose of the visit of the De- |
troiters, and also OF the other boat
load coming next month from the chi
cago Association of Commerce is avow-
edly to impress the local business fra
ternity with the idea that these cities
are good places in which to spend
money for merchandise and. as they
put it, ito increase the harmonious
feeling between the retailers in the
small towns and the wholesalers and
manufacturers of the city which they
represent.
It is in a measure unfortunate that
the Detroiters should be here on Sat
urday and sunday. as they have plan
ned their calling on the business men
on Saturday afternoon and their recep-
ton on the Octarara for Saturday eve
ming and the business men are general
" pretty busy on the afternoon and
evening of the last day of the week. 1t
Is probable that all the churches in the ,
two towns will arrange special services
'or that Sunday and those not inclined
10 go TO church will find the steamer
and other boats ready
% take them to White City, which
las it's grand opening on that day. II :
5 certain that the Detroit people will
ind something TO interest and enter
Jain them during their brief stay in
he copper country.

London, May ia spirit OF unrest
pervades the metropolis today. for the
