2 ROYAL HOTEL GEESTS. ARE VERY DESIRABLE BUT NOT THE MOST PROFITABLE. Something About Politic?—The Fig ures of the Henry George Vote in New York—The Man That Bank > on the Tilden Vote in lowa. New York. Sept. 3. —The hotels of New York have never entertained so many representatives of royalty and nobility in one year as they have during a period dnt ing from March 1 of this year to the pres ent time. Queen Kapiolani and her reti nue, the Prince of Siam and his following, a rich Indian Prince, and the Duke of Marl borough have been some of the titled guests. No first-class New York hotel lias a monopoly of thr patronage of nobility and royalty', although ali arc eager to get them, for they are a great advertisement. A house on lower Fifth avenue, of modest appear pearance, but eminently select as to its guests, hud the Indian Prince and the Duke of Marlborough amongjts gnsts. It is not an expensive hotel, but it has and keeps a run on royalty, and especial ly on titled persons from Great Britain and her provinces. An old hotel man was asked how bouses succeed first in fetting the patronage of wealthy and royal oreigners. He replied thnt it is mainly due to the influence of their valets or ser vants. The valet falls inwrith the purser or Captain of the steamer and makes inquiries as to the best hotel. The Captain has his favorite list of hotels whose proprietors have not forgotten him, and his royal pas sengers are pretty sure to go to the house that he suggests. Railroad conductors, too. are very useful agents for hotels, and many a conductor while in New York gets his board free in consideration that he will send distinguished customers to the house. But royal personages arc not. the most profitable guests of a house. Your English lord will pay S4O a day for the board of himself and servants at a select hotel and think it extravagant enough. The board bill of the Prince of Siam and his retinue while he was in New York did not exceed SSO a day, and the Queen of the Bandwich Islands lived on much less than that, a fact which may have been due to the somewhat impoverished condition of the treasury of the kingdom. The big hotel bills paid in New York are from the pockets of foreigners less high in rank than princes or dukes or from Ameri cans, who, after all, arc the liest patrons. Sarah Bernhardt when in New York stops at a hotel whose best room co-ts s2oeach a day-. She gets a suite for herself and apart ments for her attendants and the menagerie of animals that she has with her. The en tire cost of the lodging is about $75 a day, and of her meals from the hotel cafe about $25. She is not a drinker of much expul sive wine. Patti and Nicolini, wtio are high livers, and drink choice wine, pay more for their meats and loss for their apartments. A nrince of hotel patrons, however, was de Lesseps. He and his family ami servants paid, at a well-known up-town house, the princely sum of SBOO a week. They had their own cook in the kitchen and several attendants, and lived on the very top shelf. An obscure Spanish Count, of not very great wealth or lame, was at the same hotel prior to the coming of de Leaseps, and although unknown to fame on this side of the water ha won dis tinction as tlie banner hotel customer hv paying the princely sum of $1,500 per week for his entertainment When James Me Henry, the once time railroad magnate, was in the zenith of his financial power lie was one of the most profitable customers of New York hotels. He had his valet and agent and attendants with him. Nothing but the best suite of rooms m a house would answer his purpose, and although a light eater he was not sparing as to the table. When the Duke Alexis visited this country he spent money very freely at the hotel where he stopped, snd his taste for Russian dishes nearly' drove the chef wild. He de manded cheese and whisky as nil appetizer in the morning; his tea was browns 1 in a samovir, according to the Russian rule, and nothing but the choicest of champagne, of which Russians always get the best, would suit his taste. However, the best all-the-year-round guests are the Americans, and especially those from the Wes;, and the most profitable ot these are the people on their wedding tour. One hotel on upjier Broadway makes quite a feature of entertaining the latter class. It has bridal chambers that rent for $27 a day, and a good meal in its cafe will cost the couple about $lO. Another house, farther up town, makes a specialty of catering to people who desire to no truly select, amt es pecially to elder!., ladies of wealth who do idre to keep their daughters in the choicest social atmosphere of hotel life that money will buy. The house was owned by a man who recently ga ' i it to In i daughter ns her wedding portion, and she draws the hand some income of sf>,ooo a month from it. Even at this enormous rental the landlord, who died the other day, made $ 1,(X)0,000 out of the place. His hobby was to keep the house select. There was n well-conducted bar in an obscure part of the hotel, but one evening some young men in the saloon raised their voices above the decorous key that was the rule of the hotel, and the landlord at once closed and abol ished his bar. There is, jferhaps, no other city in the world where it would be ]>ossihle for a hotel, running at such great expense, to make money without a bar. Tt is pretty hard to find a hotel in New York that isn’t making money. A landlord of one <>f the l;;test and most expensive houses built in New York, died the other day worth a fortune. The proprietor of the house spent more than a million dollars in its construction, but it proved bo profitable from the start that it has given him no care beyond receiving the rent when it is brought to him. Indeed, it said that he ha* never lieen inside. But all the New York places that enter tain royalty cannot boast of having within their walls at one time representatives of such immense wealth as are sometimes found of a pleasant afternoon at a homely little inn in the outskirts of the city ut the head of Jerome avenue. A stranger would pass it by as too humble for notice. It looks like an old-time tavern with stuccoed walls, its ceilings are low and its uncovered floors are worn. Patronize the place and you will lie surprised to find that its charges are equal to those of any first-s lass hotel in New York Its cuisine, too, is as good as any to lie found in the metropolis. There is Qn air about the place of “We don’t need your patronage, but. if you are willing to pay the price we will entertain you.” It is at this house that the Vanderbilts and the millionaire road riders have stopped ever sines old Commodore Vanderbilt liegan pat ronizing it. William 11. Vanderbilt was es pecially fond of it. and he used to gather about him there his friends and drop into con vei-sat,ion as he was seldom heard to do anywhere else. It was no uncommon thing to see representatives of $.'100,000,000 gath ered there at on# time. Amos J. Cummings. 11. Politic* is looking up in New York. The delegate i*abroad, the mugwump lias come out of his sinuous lair ami the (socialist is whooping like mail. Every Republican ar gues with telling force that the lalsir vote will knock tbo Democratic vote higher than the kite of the late Mr. Gilderoy, while the Democrats snort with unctious humor and fpeer at Republican fin-diction*. It is a Mini liar phase of political campaigns that a**ry man anil every party is cock sure of banning in a canter about two months be 11’.<- elc tion day. Not until the tight really begins do toe chance* receive fair reoogui- Con. Now ever}’ one is happy, and poli tic.i, tlie most delightful pursuit in the world. Candidates have rosy cheeks, are neatly uttirsd and lieam iifsia the universe Thov will be liag- K*rd, negligent and distraught be fore the great day arrives, though they do not tluuk so now. The dismission *-f •olitlcs is pusliiug horse talk to the wall. Every man must have been struck with the i utter recklessness of truth and accuracy | which pervades any talk on politics I . beard two men lasi night give a fair exam- I pie of this. It was in the Hoffman House, i and both of the disputants were men of | iiosition in the business world. "Oh, George will poll a big vote, will I he?'asked one of them with an air of in tense satire to the other. “Yes, lie will.” answered the other hotly, j “Why will he?” ! “Because he will.” ! “Oh, go home and think it over for a month. He won’t poll 100 votes.” ! “He polled 110,000 last ’lection jus’ th’ | same.” “Yns he did?” “WeU.didn’heP. “No; he polled seven thousan’ eight hun dred an' somethin’.” They glared a,' one another for n moment and then realiixng that the disparity in the figures was too vast to bo made up t hat night they turned on their heels and stalked apart. Another man in the group said thoughtfully as the erstwhile friends disap peared : “George’s majority was really 00,000, gen tleman—” “Excuse me,” interrupted another, “I happen to know that it was—” At this point the bartender produced a little book and said with great respect: "I have the figures here if you care to have them—63.738.” “I'll bet SI,OOO to $100,” shouted a broker in the group, “that these figures are dead wrong!” Here there was a pause, and the men shifted their feet with the air of dogs who are anxious to jump in and make mince meat of a rat in a pit. No one knew any thing of importance, but they were all anx ious to talk, it is ever tints in politics, the world is crazy to tell what it does not know. Sometimes a man possesses himself of one fact—lie it great or small—and there after lie is a flaming menace and a terror wherever politics crop up. I knew a man once who ascertained a single fact about the size of the vote that was cast for Tilden and starred on it for years. He was finally marie a School Commissioner in sheer re ward, and if lie doesn’t land in the guberna torial chair in time it will be because he cannot commit more facts to memory. I have seen him render a group of shouting, swearing and hot-breathed men into inani mate and dejected pulp with the Tilden-lowa fact without turning a hair. Some man would, perhaps, lose him self in a flight of eloquence, and run on: “I tell you, gentlemen, our natures are, our natures must be, stirred by the mag nificent reverberations of sentiment, the palpitating of the heart of the great Ameri can people crying from the Gulf to tlie St. Lawrence and from Maine to tho llio Grande for Tilden.” “Speaking of Tilden,” the man with the fact would interpose in a hard and piping voice, "whad y’u think of his lowa vote? ’ “What do I think of his lowa vote, sir?” the orator would ask vaguely mopping his brow and trying to remember something about. lowa. “That’s whst I asked, sir?” was the stern reply. “Why, I think it was—er —a —a decidedly as it were—” “Ah, ha, sir. But its size, its size?” “I confess that the exact —” “What? You don’t know?” “My recollection —” “You admit then that, you are ignorant of the vote cast for Samuel J. Tilden in ■ 1876 r After the confession he had wrung from the miserable man, the man with tlie fact would fling it at his victim and leave him crushed, imateu and undone. Politics is groat business.

Columbus, Ga., Sept. 3. —The cotton manufacturers of Columbus are doing an immense business and are generally in creasing their capacity. During the year edding Aug 31, the sales of the Eagle and Phrenix Manufacturing Company amounted to over $1,500,000. There will lie added to these mills $35,000 worth of new machinery. The Swift Manufacturing Company is ex pending SIOO,OOO iu adding valu able improvements The capacity of the Muscogee Manufacturing company will be largely increased on the completion of the new mill, which is now in course of erection. The Clegg Manufactur ing Company have doubled their capacity, and the neiv’ Pearce factory which has just liegiui operations, meet with a good demand for all kinds of color goods. All the other manufactories are doing equally as well as the cotton mills. FLORIDA'S METROPOLIS. An Aged White Man Drowned While Drinking at a Spring. Jacksonville, Sept. 3.— Edmund Rivas, an aged white man, was found to-day drowned in a spring in the Christopher neighlxirliood. The supposition is that Rivas bent down to drink and fell in. It was learned to-day that D. Greenleaf, the largest jeweler in the State and a big orange grower, had declined the presidency of the Florida Orange Auction and For warding Company. The Metropolitan Light Infantry will or ganize a ! s >ut club. The body of Mrs. Seguin, who was acci dentally poisoned yesterday by Dr. Center, was buried to-day. Excitement was caused in the city to night by a lamp exploding in Drew’s big book store. Fortunately the flames wore extinguished before any damage was done. FAMOUS FLYERS.

Sept. 3.—A telegram has been received from Sheriff, iffilvernon announcing that he and his party had left Ton to basin, thus disproving the rumor that he and the members of Ills party had been killed. The Palatka Herald says the railroad bridge at that point over St. Johns river will be built* All the arrangements are made for its construction.

New York, Sept. 3.—The midnight rows of New York do not always find their way into the papers. Many a man lias experi ences of a belligerent sort whieli strike him for the time being as events of vast impor tance, but when he eagerly scans the papers on the following day he is usually more or less surprised to find no mention of tho oc currence. I have gone home late four times this week so far, and every night I have seen more or less of a row. On the first oc casion it was shortly after 1 o'clock and t had turned into Twenty-fifth street, from Madison square, when the second story win dow of a pretentious house was raised softly and a man i:i a bath robe thrust out his head and said politely. “I beg your pardon.” I .stopped ana called up to him at once that his apology was accepted. “The fact, is, he said confidentially, and with an exceedingly well-bred intonation of voice, “there is something going on in here. I may add at once that there are burglars in the house." I looked up and down the brightly liglibsl street and not a man was tola; seen in any direction. Then I asked the man in the bath robe to come down and open the door. He closed the window softly after express ing his thanks and I yelled “police” ut the top of my lungs I wish to say for the credit of the force that I never before saw such a stunning out burst of guardians of the peaco as thnt call brought forth. Park policemen, city police men and district messenger policemen, flocked from every corner, guarded the house, front and rear, and began a thorough search of the premises at once. Thereupon the gentleman in the bach robe and I bowed politely to one another and I went home and to bed. Though I live within a pistol shot of this thrilling episode, I have not since heard a word as to the fate of the burglars. Tlie following night, or j verbal s it would be more accurate to say morning, I stood talking to an English acquaintance who was to leave early that morning on the Bri tannic, when the doors of a neighboring chophouse were thrown open and five or six Hushed and talkative gentleman hurried out on the sidewalk. “I believe, sir,” shouted a red-haired little man in a falsetto voice as he faced a tall and lank Southerner, “that you expressed a desire in there to kick my nose off.” “That, sir,” responded the other, laconic ally, “is nrecisely the impression that I meant to convey to you.” “Well, sir,” blustered the little man, be ginning to dance up and down in his ex citement, “this is vour golden opportunity.” “It is, sir, and I shall cheerfully embrace it,” said the' Southerner. Then lie took off a large signet ring, tucked it snugly away in his fob pocket, fell abruptly upon tlie small man, thumped him in the ribs, smash ed his hat over his eyes, and wound up with an able and enthusiastic but futile attempt to ram his red-headed opponent into a par tially filled ash barrel. A*strict and impar tial survey of the proceedings by my Eng lish companion and myself will not warrant me in saying that the little man did any thing but repeat tho formula: “If I get a back lock on you, you big tough, I’ll break every bone in your body." At the termination of the encounter we all entered the chophouse and discussed the affair at length, while the Southern gentle man hospitably bathed the wounds of his vanquished foe and bound up the disabled eye of the gentleman who had tho back lock scheme in raw beefsteak and oysters chopped and thoroughly mixed. The third night a cab of rather a dilapi dated and dissipated appearance, which was more or less attached to the cab horse by ropes and bits of harness, came to a stop near the Brunswick, while the driver got down and held a long colloquy with a drowsy clubman within. The cabman insisted that he had been promised a fare of $5 by his passenger, but tho passenger vigorously but sleepily denied it, and tried to negotiate a new deal on a basis of 50c. About the time that the driver threatened to take him out and Ihrash him ob the sidewalk, the clubman gave in gracefully, and said in a conciliatory voire: “All right, cabby. Take me up to Seventy-sixth street, and when you get there open the door of your cab and collect your little $5. I’m too tired to talk any more." Thereupon the driver climbed to his seat, wrapped his blanket around his legs, pulled his can over his ears, humped his shoulders, kicked the horse, and stal led slowly up Fifth avenue. • Before the cab had gone fifty feet the door was pushed open gently and the club man swung himself deftly to the ground, while the cab went on up the avenue, with the door hanging wide open. The clubman stepped into the Brunswick, took a room, amt was snuply in last before the cab hail got within sight of Seventy-sixth street. It was not quite 12 o’clock last night when a group of men wandered into a resort on Sixth avenue which goes by the name of a hotel. They went into the most pretentious room ill the house, took off their coats, tilted their hats forward and fell to playing poker with the methodical and business-like nir of men who are not novices at the game. They were all in evening dress, more or less known about town and thoroughly ac quainted with one another. The game pro gressed slowly until 2 o'clock, and then one of the men smiled sadly and raised the jxit to the limit. The next man whooped it up higher, the third gave it another lift, and then the fourth raised the whole three of them; the other players dropped hurriedly out, ordered fresh cigars and sat back to w> the struggle among the four who staid in. They were playing a $5 limit and every mail drew one card. After the draw there was another raise all around, and within five minutes there was between S3OO and S4OO on the table. The cigars were laid aside, two of the players had ceased to smile and the- third was a bit nervous so that his smile had a wavering and ghastly effect. When the cards were laid down it was found that four full hands were out. The highest was a uine full and the lowest a tray full. A scientific member of the party made u note of the fact, and also of the extraordinary circumstances that every man lmd two pail's lie fore the draw, and had filled his hand In duo form. This he wrote out with great care while supper was ordered, and mailed it to the Spirit of tin • Timex forthwith, as lie con sidered the game historical. Meanwhile the heaviest loser sat calmly munching a huge cream cake which hod come up with the supper, while his eye was fixed upon the winner of the big pot. The winner whs in dulging in bitter complaints because the game had not been a $25 limit, and it seemed to provoke the man who had lost the greater part of the money. “It was all nigger luck,*’ he said, quietly, “and you’re about the worst poker player I ever knew.” “Well, 1 don’t want any advice from you on the subject,” said the winner, shortly, “and you are the talk lest little jay ill Christendom, anyhow.” Without an instant’s hesitation the loser flung Ills liig cream cake at the other man and struck him square in the face. The other sprang nt his assailant, kicked over the card table, and before a man could snap his fingers there were four men in a desper ate struggle on the floor. The negro waiter, who was accustomed to the inflammable outbursts of men who have been under strong excitement, slammed the door and bolted it at once, while he throw himself into the thick of the scuffle. The whole crowd swerved through a window and out upon a piazza of the hotel fighting like a pack of Kilkenny cats. A crowd of lielat xl pedestrian* in the street gathered in an instant. The cold air did tin- fighters good, 1 think, for they came to their sense* al most immediately, hurried Ixick into the hotel, pulled their overcoats over their torn clothing, shook hands solemnly, climbed info waiting calm and strove home. Froiia bly rot a man there could tell why the fight, occurred, though the drink and excitement were undoubtedly the main cause of it all. As I said at the outset, there is a good deal going on in this town that the daily papers never get hold of. Blakely Hall. GENERAL RAILWAY NEWS. Matters of Money and Management About Various Lines.

Journal: Articles of associa tion of tlie Clearwater and Tampa Railroad Company have returned with signatures of directors, and the permanent organization will lie perfected on the return of S. A. Jones from his Western trip. Tlie Chattanopga Commercial of the 31st ult. says: Redmond, the contractor for the fourteen miles of the Chattanooga, Rome and Columbus railroad, between Rossvillo and Crawfish Springs, is having considerable trouble witli his men. Yester day morning about forty laborers left tho city to work on tlie new road. AVhen they arrived on the ground Redmond, it is claimed, picked out all the colons! men and told them to go to work. The white men were told that there was no employment for them. This created considerable ill feeling, anil tlie negroes declared thev would not go to work unless the white men were also put on. This was refused, and the men, white and block, came back to the city. A sls ,000,003 mortgage has lieen placed upon the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia to raise money for the proposed ex tensions. Money is already in bank to com plete the Powell’s Valley and Knoxville Southern roads. Cumberland Gap seems to he the objective point to which nearly all tlie important Southern roads are reaching. The Louisville and Nashville will reach the Gap inside of a year, and the Norfolk and Western a year later. Over 400,000 acres of coal and timber land are held by an English syndicate in that vicinity, and mines are already being developed. Nearly all the railroad companies have monev enough to carry out their plans, and wifi build their proposed roads within the next five years. The Covington and Macon Railroad Com pany, which owns a piece of road about fifty miles long in Georgia, defaulted upon the interest upon its bonds due Thursday, savs the New York Sun. The amount re quired to pay the interest was $17,000, which none of the friends of the company was willing to lend it. The interest the street took in the matter arose from the fact that enterprise has been fathered in the office of Vice Commodore Arthur Edgar ton Bateman, and that one of his partners, Mr. Douglas Green, is President of the com pany. Ln view of the faet that the same office lias been the headquarters of tho bear campaigners, and that Vice Commodore Arthur Edgarton Bateman has been, ac cording to his own assertions, the pluckiest and biggest bear of them all, it was sug gested that the default was simply a bold stroke at the market, which tho important events referred to above are developing. Americus Recorder: While in Atlanta a few days ago, Capt,. John A. Cobb had an interview with Mr. Hughes. President of the Savannah, Dublin and Western Short Line railroad, as to the prospects of the road. Mr. Hughes said they have been im peded in the work at every step by the in fluence of the Central railroad, and they had therefore been compelled to go mucii slower than they wished. The latest impedi ment thrown in their way was an applica tion to the Ixvgislature for a charter for a road running parallel to the Savannah, Dublin and Western, the applicants for which were inimical to the road, and wished to depreciate its credit by the impression that another road would be built to parallel it The application, however, has been denied by the Legisla ture, and Mr. Hughes is now confident that the work can lie pushed forward rapidly. Mr. Hughes assured Capt. Cobb that the road would surely be built to Americus, and that if the people of Macon did not aid the road more promptly and effectually than it had done, the line would lie built to Ameri cus first.

In the sight of the unwise they seemed to die; but they are in peace."-—Wis. lii.. 1. Who has tetter right to claim that promise than she whom we—unwise— mourn as dead? D lath touched her not, hut came only to open to her the gate of life; to remove the harrier’ that separated her from those she loved; to give rest to the tired hands, laboring always for others; to close the eyes long turned away from things of earth, and fixed upon her eternal home, and to give peace to the dear heart wearied with the cares of earth. The torment of death touched not—hut she is in peace. Yet we mourn, mourn, that she whom we loved has letters. She who was with us but yesterday, an example of every Christian virtue, patient, gentle, generous, unselfish, thinking always of others, quietly, silently doing deeds of kindness, acts of charity, “let ting not her left hand know what her right hand did.” "To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die ” She is not dead—she cannot die. The good Go dwho gave her the graces to fulfill so perfectly the duties of wife, or mother, of friend and neighbor has claimed her now, say ing, "Come, my teloved, unto thy rest," Mrs. McMahon came to our city at the age of 18. with her young husband, the late Capt.

Prosperity, which is sometimes more trying than adversity, furnished the means for this beautiful soul to fulfill the desires of her heart, the relief of the poor and suffering, and what God gave to her she dispensed literally to his poor.
