by the following story:
During the fighting In East Prussia

the Supreme Court. ]. P. Waugh, a

The University has urged the consti

for kali Century as a political and
social center, closes its doors today
The famous hotel where President
Cleveland and other notables held forth
In the old days, must give way to the
march of progress, and 1t will be torn

The original Hoffman House was
built just a half century ago. 1t was
one Of the most popular and most
famous hotels in the city. In its best
days it We'd with the Fifth Avenue as
great political headquarters. The Fifth
Avenue was the rendezvous of the Re
publicans and the Democrats made
their headquarters at the Hoffman
House. Grover Cleveland stopped
there frequently, and was living there
when he was elected to the Presi-
dency for his second term. General
benjamin F. Butler and General Win
field Scott made the hotel their home
on many occasions
Connected with the management at
one time was Edwin 8. Stokes, who
shot James Fisk, Jr., in 1872 and serv-
ed four year in Sing Sing for It. 1t
was there that Stokes improved his
acquaintance with President Cleve-
land, and through his friendship the
President restored him to citizenship
In 1884. Stokes had general charge
of the management. and 1t was he who
fitted up the famous Hoffman House
bar-room, which was one Of the sights
Of the city which no visitor missed.
It's walls were hung with costly paint
ings.
Since the retirement Of Stokes. the
hotel movement has been away from
the down town section Of the city. and
the hotel has not been financial sue
cess. Few of the old employees we're
on hand today to witness the formal
closing Of the famous hotel.
