OPENING OF THE TAMPA HOTEL.
Business at Tampa is in a Flourishing:
Condition.
Tampa, Fla., Doc. 4.—lt would have
been difficult to nave selected a worse
day for the opening of a hotel like the
sirnous Tampa Bay caravansary than
this, which has been raw. rainy and gen
erally disappointing. Fires, overcoats
and umbrellas have been in good demand,
yet the arrivals at the hotel have been
most gratifying, and to-night, despite the
chilly weather, Manager J. H. King wore
a broad smile uion his familiar face.
The register shows arrivals from
.Maine to California, and enough
of them to indicate a
prosperous season ahead. The house
never looked better or fresher, not on its
original opening day, than it docs to-night
under Manager King's careful oversight.
Painters, carpenters, upholsterers, etc.,
have finished brushing up and the incom
ing guests find everything in readiness
for their comfort.
On the right of the railway entrance to
the hotel a handsome 4-story wooden
building is nearly completed, to be known
as- Bachelors' Quarters,” where gentle
meu guests who prefer an Eveless Eden
can ln.d their wish fully gratified. This
addition, with other new rooms, it is
hoped, will prevent an ''overflow'' like
that of last winter and the winter before.
The Rice force is somewhat changed. The
well-known‘'Hotel Dromios.'’ Mr. Dred
< King and Mr. Frank E. Miller, remain
in the register, where they lia.ve no rivals.
Mr. Samuel .1. Monroe, last winter Man
ager Hathaway’s right-hand man at the
Seminole, is cashier, to succeed Mr.
Charles G. Logan, who becomes book
keeper. Mr. A. J. Van Deusen is night
clerk, and Miss H. A. Smith, of Philadel
phia, succeeds Miss Lucas as private sec
retary to Manager King, while the dining
room is again in charge of genial Wilson
i’ereival. Stubblebi-ne’s celebrated or
chestra. much enlarged and greatly im
proved. will furnish the music, which
iiie be a specially attractive feature this
season In fact Manager King lias started
on; to improve every feature of last sea
sons success that can be improved in any
degree.
Of course Tampa looks to-day like a
cobbler in a rain storm, all outdoor busi
ness being curtailed by the rain: yet I see
many evidences of increased thrift and
development here since my last visit. Dr.
C Harris, president of the Tampa
brug Company, who has spent several
months traveling in the west for his
health, tells me that he is highly grati
fied with this financial condition of
things here as compared with what he
m" all through the. west, and he thinks
' lorida has been remarkably blessed the
bast summer, and enters upon what prom
ises to be a most prosperous winter in px
eelleut condition io reap the full benefit
of its profits.
At Port Tampa and Port Tampa city
the greatest activity prevails, much of it
owing to extensive shipments of phos
phite and some, to the new establishment
ust completed for doing the immense
printing business at Port Tampa of the.
Louisiana Lottery Company. This, with
the big cigar factories, promises to give
1 apt. J. W. Fitzgerald's new city a phe
tnmetial but permanent growth. Al
though separate from Port Tampa proper,
the two arc very closely related in busi
ness matters, the former being on land
and the latter entirely on water, they
"■ill naturally grow together in due time.
I dropped in to the convent of the Holy
Aarr.es this morning and found Mother
[ heophulus ana Sister Mary Laureutius
'tube happy over the large number of
pupils already entered for the present
mason, a fitting recognition of the grand
1 rk that these two noble women arc
doing.
The activity in freight business on the
i h i ifia railroad in and around Tampa is
simply amazing. Such long trains were
| ver seen here before, and every road is
1 ramped for motive power to keep the
l ars in motion. Business is rushing, but
"Hi ther it pays any profit to anybody is
‘mite another matter.
I 'iiests at the Tampa Bay hotel will
M -iil find that quiet, yet efficient and
trust.v veteran head porter, Pat Mullane,
on deck'' for his third season here. For
1 (, ven summers he has been at the Ocean

PREPARING FOR THE TOURISTS.
The Florida Hotels Opened for the
Winter Season.
Jacksonville, Fla.. Dec. s.—The two
crack hotels, the St. James and Windsor
have o)iened for the season, and both
greatly improved for a bigger business
than usual. Manager Campbell of the
St. James is an old stager, and for nearly
twenty years his familiar, genial coun
terance lias been seen in the office of that
popular establishment. This season his
last year's corps is with him. except Mrs.
Hall, for nearly a dozen \ears the house
keeper, who is succeeded b.v Miss
Lothrnp. formerly with Mrs. Bowers at
Thomasville. Ga. Manager Baker,
of the Windsor is anew man
there, but well known as a joint mana
ger of the Everett, which iiis partner.
Mr. Mclver, is again conducting. The
new Duval, opposite the elegant govern
ment building, is soon to open, amt with
several other excellent hotels will enable
Jacksonville to entertain the expected
rush.
The new winter schedule of the rail
roads is gladly welcomed,! especially the
one that brings the Mousing News here
in time for breakfast hour reading.
There are a great many Florida people,
as well a visitors, who prefer this paper
to any other, and arc always glad to have
its arrival hastened by the fast winter
schedule.
On Sunday next the new Jacksonville
daily. The Citizen, is to make its first ap
pearance. The offices, occupying three
stories and a basement of a double store
building, are being fitted up in style, and
with everything needed that money can
supply, the entire outfit being first-class,
and the employes men of experience and
snap. Editor-in-Chief L. S. Metcalf and
wife are at the St. James hotel, where
they will board for the present, at least.
He is a middle aged gentleman.of a decided
literary bearing. The retirement of
Editor-in-Chief F. IV. Hawthorne from
the Times-Uuion to-day is considered the
first overture to the opposition that has
made the new paper a certainty.
Whether just or not I cannot say. there
has been a great deal of feeling
against him, but it will hardly be ap
peased, so far as the paper is concerned,
by his retirement.
The South Florida division of the Sa
vaunali. Florida and Western railway
has not issued its new time table to meet
the changes to-morrow, as there is a gap
on the High Springs "cut off " to be com
pleted in order to fix the schedule for the
new route from Tampa to Savannah via
that point. While the Florida Central
and Peninsular railway has been active
on its new lines, the Plant system has not
been asleep by any means, and during the
next few weeks there will be inaugurated
some of tho liveliest competitive work
ever seen in Florida. The people hoDe to
be benefited by it, and, therefore, gladly
welcome the opening of the new lines of
both roads.
Manager 11. W. Priest, of the Altamonte
Spriugs hotel, at Altamonte, went up the
road last night with his family and will
soon have this popular resort ready to
open to a big business. Last winter he
was crowded aud this season the pros
pect is for the same state of affairs.
Manager J. H. King, of the Tampa Bay
hotel, has wisely opened a month earlier
this season, and also added thirty more
new rooms to the ninety added for last
winter. He opens to-morrow and the
Morning News will be. on hand to note
the improvements and chronicle the out
look at Tampa and the Port for a good
winter's business.
WAYSIDE NOTES.
The Carleton hotel, on Bay street, op
posite the postoffiee, is to be sold at
