STORY OF THE CRANBERRY PIGS AS DRAFT ANIMALS PROVD MAN IN ILLNESS DOG PINED FOR MASTER TURTLE HAS TWO HEADS VOL. 22. NO. 9. The history of the cranberry can be told on a bit of parchment no larger than the fruit itself, but to judge its interest by its length would be like ranking the berry's importance by its weight. The cranberry, to begin with the day of its christening, was so named because its sponsors fancied that its bud resembled a crane, and, in trust, just before the bud expands to the perfect flower with stem, calyx and bill of resembles the neck, head and bill that unugnily bird. Hence it was originally bird "berry," popularized into cranberry. Like all families of importance in the agricultural race, the cranberry has an imposing genealogy; its European forbears belonged to the clan of the vaccinium oxycocre; how long the American branch, or the macrocapbon, has been established here nobody knows, but it began to attract attention about 100 years ago. Its acquaintance was first cultivated in the Cape Cod region of Massachusetts—New England has ever been ready to pay royalty. It gradually worked its way out of curiosity until to day the cranberry occupies a place of no mean industrial In many countries and even so near as Scotland the pig has served the purpose of a beast of draft, and has actually been harnessed to the plow in company with cows and horses. In Scotland also early in the last century pigs were sometimes made to act as chargers and proved most docile. The homing instinct is strongly developed in the pig. Instances not infrequently occur of pigs finding their way back to farms whence they have been conveyed. There is a record of two pigs homing nine miles, and crossing the Thames to boot, to their old farm, whence they had been driven to Reading market and bought by a local gentleman on the previous day. At one point on their homeward journey where two roads met the wain together as if it "putting their noses together as if it needed consultation." About 1815 a London merchant stated a sensation by driving a fountain of pigs through the streets, and thirty years later an old farmer caused amusement to a great crowd in the market place at St. Albans by entering it in a chaise drawn by four "If you want to know the real soul of a man you have to see him when he's ill," says a trained nurse. "There's nothing quite so objective and pitilable as the average sick man. He's a mere baby, only that a baby bears pain better than he does. I like to have the name of a man I've just been taking care of, not a cent. He's a great big skisfooter and he never had a pain since he cut his teeth till appendicitis caught him about a month ago. They brought him to a private sanitarium on a stretcher and while I was getting him ready for the surgeons his mind was about equally divided between fear that he was going to die and anxiety over a postboard box he had with him. "He begged me to put it somewhere what he had in it. I asked him something he'd want in a day or two if he lived. I finally set it outside the window of his room on the ledge, for he said it ought to be kept where it was cold. He didn't mention it again for two days, his attention being otherwise engaged. The third night was windy and the box blew off the For weeks Shep, a blooded Scotch collie dog, waited at a lonely station in Augusta County, Va., for the return of his absent master, says the Denver Republican. The master, C. D. Doran of West Eight alley, Denver, when he heard that his devoted pet was homeless, took a railroad trip to Virginia to get possession of the dog and bring him to Colorado. The two have never been separated since. Doran was at the Union depot last night, waiting for a train to take him to South Platte, Neb., where he is to do some contract work for the Union and a road. With him was the dog Shep. Mr. Doran patted the dog as he told the following story: "I left Augusta county, Va., where I had a farm, several months ago. I gave Shep to a neighbor, believing that he would be better off than with me. Shortly after I left he broke his chain and returned to my farm, which That nature is not without a latent sense of humor is often demonstrated by the strange abnormal creatures and freak growths she produces, and rarely does a week pass by that one of the many illustrated publications does not contain a photograph of a curiosity of this character. Accordingly the Scientific American adds one more to the list of oddities in a two-headed box tortoise, the property of E. S. Schmid, a taxidermist of Wren. The turtle, which is of a common and well known variety, and whose scientific name is terrapene Carolina, was found in Fairfax county, Virginia, near Mount Vernon, and with the exception of its superfluity of heads appears to differ little from the ordinary representatives of its kind. The truth importance in the community; yearly it adds to the wealth of our nation all the way from $3,000,000 to $4,000,000. The family is exceedingly prolific. 1,300,000 bushels be produced in the United States, leaving Europe far behind in quantity as well as in its quality. About 6 per cent of the family are born and reared in Massachusetts—for the greater part in the districts of Cape Cod, Plymouth and Barnstable. New Jersey, which devotes more of its territory to the cranberry than any other state in the Union save Massachusetts, rolls up 24 per cent and takes second place. Some years ago forest fires destroyed the marshes and dried up the streams of Wisconsin—a reduction which reduced the production of the Wisconsin heir to 1.1 per cent and forced that state to assume third place, but Wisconsin is gradually recovering and is striving for a position at the head.

After two or three turns around the market he drove to the Woopalspe yard, where his curious steeds were unharnessed and led away to be regaled with a trough of beans and wash. There have also been sporting pigs. An old account of a black sow which the Keepar Toomer, one of the royal keepers of the New Forest, broke to find game animals and says: "Within a fortnight she would find and point partridges or rabbits, and her training was much forwarded by the abundance of both. * * * She daily improved and in a few weeks would retrieve birds that had run as well as the best pointer; nay, her nose was superior to the best pointer." According to Linnaeus, "the hog is more nice in the selection of his vegetable diet than any of our other domesticated herbivorous animals." Thus one of the hogs may be said to be an epicurean. Linnaeus states that the animal will eat seventy-two plants, as against the goat's two, the sheep's 387, the cow's 276 and the horse's 262—London Daily Express. was in the hands of strangers. He took up the scent at the farm and followed my footsteps to the railroad station. There he waited for me for three weeks, taking but little nourishment. The station agent, knowing the dog and knowing me, wrote to me, describing the week's about the end of the second week, and told Denver for Virginia and did not rest easy until I arrived at the station, where the dog awaited me. "There never was a dog more glad. He jumped and frolicked, despite the fact that he was lean for the want of nourishment. Seizing my trouser legs, he dragged me in the direction of the old farm. He would run a short distance toward the farm, and then return to me. He could not understand why I needed him. He is contented here, I believe, and the condition has made such an impression on me that I have never been away from him since." of this, however, could only be ascertained at the cost, we fear, of the creature's life, for its armor-like shell would make an investigation of its internal economy hazardous, if not impossible. The animal appears to be about four months old, and measures some two by one and three quarter inches, the shell being possibly a trifle larger than would ordinarily be the case. The two heads are nearly of the same size, and as far as can be seen are perfect in all respects. Its other visible members do not exceed the usual number, and it is probably incorrect to conclude that the multiplicity confined to the heads. These do not feed together, but do so separately and alternately, and appear, furthermore, to be otherwise independent. THE APPEAL. EVOLUTION OF THE AUTO SEEING LONDON " IN SEEING LONDON" IN 1831 A CLOCKWORK CHARIOT OF THE SE A CLOCKWORK CHARIOT OF THE SEVENTEENTH CENTURY Defective Page Early in the dawn of human intelligence there came the dream of unrestricted, individual locomotion. It was toward the end of the thirteenth century says R. T. Sloss in his "Book of the Automobile," that the learned Franciscan friar, Roger Bacon, wrote: "We will be able to propel carriages with incredible speed without the assistance of any animal." At the same time, he predicted the coming of the steamship and the flying machine. The scientific character of Bacon's imagination has been completely vindictive. cated in the ocean liners and the swiftly-flying automobiles and partially so in the recent efforts of Santos-Dumont and others. The horseless carriage first took tangible form in the seventeenth century, when Johann Haustach of Nuremberg contrived a vehicle propelled by a huge coiled spring, the action been made possible of clockwork. Haustach was known as the "tourer of charlots going by spring and making 2,000 paces an hour." The spring was controlled by a lever in the hands of the chauffeur, and in the absence of a steering device, the "charlot" could be propelled only in a straight line, which would have rendered its progress through the loop district of Chicago somewhat difficult, even at its advertised rate of a little more than a mile an hour. Haustach seems to have paid more attention to the location of the body of his vehicle than to its pollution. About the same time locally the general utilization of the winds of heaven in the windmills of Holland suggested the idea of "sail wagons," used to some extent on the flat plains of that country. These were called "seylende windwagens," and consisted of the rigging of a ship attached to wheeled platforms. In 1644 a patent of Louis XIV, granted to "Jean 'heson the privilege of employing a little four-wheel carriage set in motion without any horses, but merely by two men seated." The supposition is that the "seilene" of detailed drawings, is that of the "men seated" propelled the vehicle by stremons leg work. Sir Isaac Newton is said to have invented a steam carriage, after others had conceived the idea of propelling vehicles by steam power. The development of the steam railroad closely that of the steam railroad. The latter appeared so much more feasible to the inventors that it was followed and the steam carriage idea was not original fundamentally, it is sald, but copied after the original steam engine of Hero of Alexandria, who broke into the steam-engine business about 200 B. C. Newton's model was propelled by the reactionary force, or kick, of a jet of steam escaping from a nozzle in the rear. Dress and Intellect. Dress is no longer the preoccupation of the shallow-minded. It is recognized of infinite importance by even the brainy and intellectual of womankind, who now frankly acknowledge the obligation imposed on them to look their nicest. Guer Autograph Album. There has just died at Berlin a man who possessed a curious autograph album, consisting of a skeleton, every bone of which was covered with the signatures of his friends and relatives. In 1769 Nicholas Joseph Cugnot, with state funds placed at his disposal by the Duc de Choiseul, constructed a steam gun carriage and the following year he produced an improved auto which is still preserved in Paris. The machine had but three wheels, the boller overbrake in front on the theoy that its weight would be counteracted by the load on the carriage. The engine was directly behind the boller and consisted of two 13-inch single-acting cylinders. The movement of the piston was transmitted to the axle of the driving wheel by two ratchet wheels. The engine could be reversed at will. There was a steering gear, and the vehicle proved its capacity for carrying a load of two and one-half tons at a speed of three miles an hour. Napoleon Bonaparte caused the appointment of a commission of the institute to investigate the invention, but the revolution suddenly put an effectual check on the further develop- DUTCH·SAIL WAGONS, SEVENTEENTH CENTURY DUTCH.SAIL WAGONS, SEVENTEENTH CENTURY ment of the automobile. It is interesting to note that in the matter of the production of a practical automobile France led the world in the eighteenth century, as she now leads the world in the building of racing machines of tremendous power. Dr. John Robinson is said to have suggested to James Watt, the reputed inventor of the steam engine in 1759. THE SEVENTEENTH CENTURY. the idea of building a steam-propelled carriage. Watt, apparently, did not take kindly to the suggestion, for he did not adopt it; but in 1874 he himself patented a steam carriage. The first American inventors to tackle the steam propelled vehicle problem were Oliver Evans of Maryland in 1878, and Nathaniel Read of Massachusetts in 1790. A Boston Man's Bull. Ex-President Soule of the Massachusetts senate is very fond of telling a story about a young Irish member of the senate from East Boston who, during a debate in that body on the East Boston grade crossing question, took the floor and argued very energetically in favor of abolishing the crossing. The senator was more ready with his utterances than with a proper construction of sentences. In the height of his argument he exclaimed: "Why, Mr. President, there are people now living in East Boston - who Richard Trevithick of England in 1820 patented a steam carriage that was a distinct advance over previous efforts. By this time it came to be believed the ordinary wheels were insufficient to sequestrate water and mechanical legs were devious as an aid. The Gordon machine, patented in 1820 was a skis-legged affair, the pedals being operated by steam. Goldworth Durney about the same time produced a steam carriage which used legs as auxillaries.

Prejudiced Against Typewriters. The late associate Justice Gray of the Supreme court was very eccentric. Among his prejudices was a deep and lasing aversion for a typewriter. That machine did not come into general use until Justice Gray was an old man and he never became reconciled to it. It had his furious if a lawyer lied with him a motion or other court paper typewriter, and he regularly returned it to the brassique request that the matter to be submitted be written in longhand. He had a stonegraphe at his disposal, but never utilized his services, as he wrote all his letters as well as his opinions. He notified the clerk of the Supreme court not to send him any typewritten paper, no matter how important it might be. He never neglected an opportunity to denounce typewriters. The result of his hatred for these machines was that he did three times as much work as the other justices. With that he throws his pipe away and an signer, sigars.

Putnam Sons, New York which seems designed to whitewash the Congo, the old republicate King Leopold in the Congo Free State. The author says: "The aboriginal black cannibal still occupies the banks of the Congo. But his nature so recently in its savage state, he has not been able to on his knees in the mission chapel; the song of the White Fathers and the Sisters of Merry inspires in him the awakening of new emotions. His own voice abhorses the war; cry and violence until night plea to the white man's voice. There is abundant evidence that the foregoing is one of the greatest tales ever put in print. The following is from a recent address he, Herbert S. Johnson of Boston, who spent years in the Congo Free State. "The report (of the King's own commission) asserts unquestionably the practice of a terrible system of force to deter the unwilling natives to their lands, and to place them in the hands of cannibal sentries" who are turned loose upon the defenseless people to terrorize them in the gathering of rubber.

If the writer had ever read the writings of the Greek and Latin authors, he would know that Voodooism was prevalent among the people of those nations that was marked by such practices as bauchery as were never heard of in the South. The worship of Venns and the rites of Bona Dea, if not identify with Voodooism, were no better more mally. Moreover, Voodooism is no worse than the orgies carried on in the Moulin Rouge and cates chantantes of the license from the French authorities. CAUCASIAN CHRISTIANITY According to the New York Sun, the religious condition of the Caucasian brother is as follows: "Every intelligent layman now knows that the authority of the Scripture is not in the Bible. Bible reading has been discontinued among them to a very great extent. Family prayers, once an invariable custom in plums families, are now almost wholly abandoned. The prayer meeting preserves usually only a few schools have fallen off in a retreate. And the general tenor of the long article from which the foregoing is taken is that the condition of things is very commendable. The Sun argues that the clergy are bound by their oratory, and that the truth of which they are doubtful, or which they positively disbelieve. We are by no means sure that the Sun is correct in its statement of fact, or rather we believe that its statements are the reverse of truth.

Every bit of information respecting the Chinese boycott is so eagerly seized upon by the American news papers as to show that they regard it as specially interesting to their readers. D. Usher, former rector of an influential church in Philadelphia, has this to say on the subject: "The boycott is organized in wonderful. The guilds that exist in such numbers are the means through which it is kept up. These guilds are all-powerful. If they once decide on any measure the man, who disobeys is disgraced—not he alone, but his family also." "In a Shanghai street, if I try to get a Chinaman to carry me in his rickshaw, the conversation runs like this: How much do you charge to carry me to the edge of the American concession?" The Chinman knows that the United States discriminates against him on account of his color and refuses him the courtesies which it extends to the unarchitect and lazarone of Southern Europe. He does not propose to submit to it any longer, and he is perfect right. DIXON ON VIRTUE. "You never hear of a white man assaulting a Negress. Why? Because assault implies resistance and no colored woman knows what virtue means." If Tom's assertion were true it would prove that the Southern white people the most wonderful tools they evolved; for nearly all bring up their children in constant intercourse with the women he alludes to and who are employed as nursemaids and cooks. If these women were as described by Tom it would be an appalling calamity to the white race, for they are the most abundant companions of the white children and would they not demoralize those children? Beyond the shadow of a doubt, If the Afro-American women are as described, what about the moral status of the white children whom they have virtually raised? A white person can catch the small as readily from an Afro-American as from another white person, and immorality can as readily be communicated. VOODOOISM.

The worship of Venus and the rites of Bona Dea, if not identical with Voodooism, were no better mor- ally. Moreover, Voodooism is in no Moulin Rouge and cates chantantes of Paris, under license from the French authorities. The daily papers during the week have told some horrible stories of how some of the people of the "superior race" of Springfield, Ohio, have been creating innocent unoffending people and make black instead of white a saw fit to make black instead of white a saw fit to two of their number shot, perhaps fairly, a white man. We do not, of course, know the real cause that led up to the shooting, but we do know that the people who incited the mob and participated in the outrages persecuted upon people who had nothing whatever to do with the crime as criminal as the shooters. The men who did the shooting should suffer the penalties of the law properly administered and so should all those whose color prejudice induced them to commit their criminal acts. All criminals would look alike in the eyes of the law. "Asia for Asiaties." This, says William V. Carmichael, a Shanghai merchant, just arrived here, is the cry that has been taken up in China and spread like wildfire from province to province, everywhere the slumbering hatred of foreigners for foreigners. The spirit of revolt is rife in the land, young China is rising, and in his opinion trouble is bound to come. Before the United States concludes to meet Mr. Carmichael's policy as to preventing this feeling, it would be well to take into consideration Russia's experience with Japan. A certain Russian statesman expected to end the trouble by dictating terms of peace at Tokio, but the thing turned out very different from what he expected. THE APBALIS is confident that "Asia for the Asiaties" is written in the book of fate. A Georgia sheriff made the following address to a prisoner, he was about to execute: "You say that you have been saved, but I doubt if God has grace enough to save you, Jim Walker; you are about to be executed for a great crime; that you have been warned to all the people of your race. You "Niggers" must understand that you cannot pollute our white women: There is so much thievery, crimes of various sorts and licentiousness occurrences that you cannot be trusted, that they have actually lost their zeal for moralizing upon the immorality of the Afro-American. Miss Anna Gould's Bony: for whom she paid $8,000,000, possessed as his only asset the title of Count. And now we know that he had no real right to that title. ```markdown ``` KILA HON. JOSEPH G. CANNON, Speaker Cannon of the House of Representatives is a popular idol in Illinois, because of his long and honorable career and his sterling character. Mr. Cannon resembles Abraham Lincoln in many respects. Speaker Cannon will come to Chicago to deliver a speech at the Auditorium in favor of the renomination and reelection of Shelly M. Cullom to the United States sen- As a general rule those American heiresses who have paid millions in good money for the privilege of being united in unholy matrimony with titled European degenerates, have paid a fearful penalty for their vanity and folly, and have been forced to elope with a coachman or contract an alliance with a decent hodcarrier. They have finally seen that they paid a great deal too much for the whistle. Such alliances are in direct violation of rules of common sense; for accolades and honors, alliance and the noble lord is justly entitled to an unlimited compensation for his condescension in stooping so low as to contract it. Representative Stanley of Kentucky, recently manifested a huge amount of assiminity by speaking slightly of red-haired women, and the entire sex, red-haired and otherwise, are giving him Josse through the press. We would rejoice to see the scalp of this dunderhead dangling at the belt of some Amazon, but when we come to consider the matter seriously, we cannot see a disagreeable nose to have a prejudice against a woman that it has to have the same against a black skin. The one is just as reasonable as the other, and the red-haired sisters who entertain such prejudices have no fissure cause of complaint. Bishop Turner is a well-meaning but very imprudent man. He recently declared the American flag to be a "dirty and contemptible rag." Just what good purpose the bishop supposed would be carried out by such an utterance is imminent. He would continue while it is easy to see that it would excite prejudices against the people with whom he is identified. That racial prejudice is already strong enough, without any increase; and for the sake of his people, Bishop Turner should talk more wisely or hold his peace. Uncle Sam is a very brave individual for all parts except in his pocket book. He is very brave, very cravy and squeals most pitifully. He is now in the threes of a conspition fit caused by his fears that the Chinese and Japanese and Germans may deprive him of some of his trade. The Germans are "arririfying" him, the Japanese are fishing too near to Alaska and the Chinese are boycotting him. And moreover, he has other troubles. Pity the sorrows of a poor old man. Some weeks since Mrs. Nina May Dupree was found with her throat cut at the home of a well known citizen just outside of Atlanta, Georgia. She declared that she had been attacked by a Negro who had cut her throat. Posses were organized and a search of the vicinity was made but no trace was found. Nude women were alleged to have Mrs. Dupree confesses that she inflicted the injury upon herself. There have been many such cases in the South. It is characteristic of shallow-fellows to estimate their importance by the amount of mischief they can do. Their vanity is wondrously flattered when they succeed in stirring up the situation in the office. He can see that Mr. Bryan made his Hong Kong speech and why he resigned his position as a trustee of one of our colleges on account of its receiving "tainted honey." It is all playing to the galleries. The Russo-Japanese war has been followed by a famine in Japan and an inferno in Russia and both nations are in a pitiful condition. So far as Russia is concerned, no possible justification can be found for her entering into war. She could have cried and suffered upon a course of aggression. Japan had some reason for going to war in order to resist the aggressions, but she paid dearly for her whistle. A white newspaper published in Mississippi, lauds in a most extravagant manner. W. H. Holtschal, principal of a school at Utea in that state, for his helpful advice to the members of his race. We have seen some of the advice and agree that it is excellent. We came to that conclusion years ago when we read it in McGuffey's Fifth Reader, in which book the advice is attributed to Dr. Beecher. We cannot you lay your black hands upon them. God made your race inferior to the White people. Our women are not for your kind. Every "Nigger" that assaults a white woman Such an occurrence could not have taken place anywhere else. It requires a special training to develop such brutes. The Georgia Daughters of the Confederacy accomplish creating a movement to Wurtz. The unspanked. They could easily do so with the bones of Union soldiers the wretch murdered at Andersonville, and it would be very appropriate. TUSKEGEE CONFERENCE. Great Announcement to Teachers. Great Annual Meetings at Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute. Tuskegee, Ala., February 23. —Afro-American farmers from every southern state met here, Wednesday, for the Fifteenth Annual Session of the Tuskegee Afro-American Conference. Teachers from nearly all the educations for Afro-American youth, with the Afro-American visitors from the North also in attendance. Thirty gates and the District of Columbia were represented in the total attendance. Booker T. Washington, who presided, in opening the session, said: "As we come together from year to year in these Annual Tuskegee Afro-American Conferences, I am, impressed more and more with the importance of ching steadfastly to the fundraising should let no temptation, foreign or domestic, however strong, lead us from our moorings. No matter where we are to live, no matter what conditions confront us, there are a few simple facts: we must be at the bottom of all individual and racial success which we must, not disregard. Success in the fundamental things of life, however long we may be in achieving it, will win our victories, and have proven properly will result in our defeat, however alluring may be temporary and superficial attractions. The element in connection with these meetings and the influences that have grown out of our success will have a significant impact on any other thing is the fact that everywhere our race is heeding the lessons which these conferences have tried from year to year, to emphasize." Decelerations adopted were as follows: 1. The increase in the number of land owners over those of fourteen years ago when the Conference first started, is most encouraging, but it is still largely renters instead of owners of land. 2. The purpose to own land was never stronger than now. This spirit we would encourage in every possible way. Teachers and preachers should help to show the absolute necessity on the part of every family, to own land in order to permanently make progress. 3. We urge that the various forms of industry connected with the making of schools, the schools, beginning with the primary. We would especially urge the teaching of agriculture and the use of such tools as are necessary to do the ordinary work of the farm, the doing of such building as is needed and the repairing of buildings. 4. Again we would urge our people to raise their food supplies at home as the most effective means to avoid the evils of the mortgage system. 5. We also recommend that the people have less support to dispensaries and save money, and encourage temperance in every form. 6. We regret the poor schools that are still so common, especially in the country and in the small towns. In many places terms are short, salaries small, teachers poorly prepared and teachers earnly urge the union of all forces to better this condition. Especially should the poll tax be paid. 7. There are many discouragements but we are confident that these are the best days in our history this day. Signs of progress are on every hand. Better houses, schools, and churches are being built, better farming done, more are going into business, and the professions are gaining strength and numbers. When these Conferences were started, the Birmingham Penny Savings Bank was the only one prominently mentioned. Now there are about 10 banks and 100 people. The people are awakening to their moral, religious and physical condition. Character is being appreciated and the death-rate is being reduced. 8. We urge that move and more energy, be put into the Annual Tuskegee Afro-American Conferences, the great school of the masses, and that students to organize in every community a local conference that shall serve to keep alive, and constantly emphasize the great doctrine of home getting and character building, the foundations upon which the Annual Conference is built. The Tuskegee Conference was held on Thursday; February 22. This meeting was participated in by President of the leading educational institutions for the training of Afro-American youth, and by many others prominent in the effort to elevate the Afro-American. The subjects for discussion hinged on the following: 1. Is there a local conference in your community? If so, what has it done to help the school. 2. What proportion of the public school's support is contributed by voluntary, local taxation? What are the tendencies? 3. What are the conditions of the country school houses? Who owns them? What are the tendencies? IV-What wages are paid the real school teachers?-Is there a tendency to raise o; lower wages?-Are teachers interested in the school exert upon its immediate surroundings?-What are the tendencies? VI-How may the teacher stimulate interest in the community and ownership of property? THE HOTEL An uncterrestrial Christian Institution, devoted especially to advanced education.

Minneapolis can at last loast of having found a man with grit, business ability and money enough to supply a long felt want. This was no other than Dwyer, Mr. Dwyer came to this city over four years ago as headmaster of the Commercial Club and shortly after his arrival a coincidence happened that made him ashamed. There was a leading Afro-American Company playing at one of the local play houses and had a first class place on the order of a hotel, hence they were scattered all over the city—Mr. Dwyer took in the situation at a glance and formulated his plans from that day which reached the stage of maturity last week when he met a brick building at 224 Washington Avenue, the most fashionable part of the city. This is demonstrated by the fact that Chas. W. Dwyer. it is direct across the street from the world-wide famous "National Hotel," a hotel that is known the world over for its famous Dutch and English dinner rooms. The Hotel Dwyer consists of a brick building three stories high is said to be fire proof. The first floor is furnished with a clothing firm—on the second floor will be situated the office and a large number of transient rooms, used exclusively for the traveling public—the third floor will be devoted to local businesses. The building is greatly appreciated by the lonely people of "Flur City." Mr. Dwyer, sent to Chicago and secured an efficient manager who will look after the business end under his personal supervision. Mr. Dwyer has gone to a great expense in room at this Hotel. He has furnished every room to manitou from mat to mantel—Every room is an outside room and lighted by electricity-Eve,ything was in place last Saturday and a Grand Opening was given, that was only allowed by that given at the Canadian at Los Angeles doors of Hotel Dwyer were, thrown open Saturday Feb. 17th at 10 P. M. and the occasion was graced by the presence of a host of members from the Minneapolis Commercial Club who came to do honor to whom honor was given. The hotel is a genial and much loved Seey, and Mgr. E. J. Westlake, who has the happy knack of doing the right thing in the right time—He made an eloquent talk which everybody enjoyed as well as the other part of the program-Everyone knew and everyone felt that another Star had been added to the Crown of Chas. W. Dwyer. The traveling public will do woll to Caldwell's leading phone number, a phoneline, giving phone numbers other particular $2. Down AND $1. Per Mo.
