SAN FRANCISCO NOW A CITY OF HOTELS

8an Francisco, the city of the Golden
Gate, has while arising from the devas
tation, achieved for herself a new name.
It la the "City of Splendid Hotels."
All over the burned district where
formerly stood residences or small
buildings of one to three stories, there
have arisen splendid structures of steel
and stone from three to ten stories In
height. Many of these new buildings
are designed for apartment houses and
hotels.
The picture of the Fairmont hotel,
which Is shown herewith gives a splen
did Idea of the character nnd style of
the leading hotels of San Francisco.
8ltuated In a most commanding posi
tion, its classic outlines greet the eye

Oakland slip.
The Fairmont was Just ready to open
for business when the catastrophe oc
curred. Although everything In the
way of furniture and fittings was de
strovuU, tho building itself was struct
urally uninjured. The work of recon
structing nnd refitting the interior was
commenced almost Immediately nnd ex
actly one year from the day of the fire,
a portion of the Fairmont was opened
to the publio with a banquet by the
Merchants' association. The building
is now entirely finished.
The cost of reconstruction was J3.-! street guesta may step from their auto-

That tho Fulrmonthns been such a

fact that the management is identical
with that which made the old 1'alaco
hotel famous for over 40 years.
Besides being the most superbly sit
uated hotel in the world, the Fairmont
hna several features which are abso
lutely unique. Among these may be
mentioned the fact that there is not an

The Sacramento street cable cars go
direct to the hotel from the Ferry
building, making the trip In less than
10 minutes. The other lines, both cable

cable lines bring passengers directly

OLD COLLEGE SPRINTER

The capture of a San Francisco Issuer I dence man. On the wny down Harris
of bad checks after a hot foot race of
four blocks by Esquire K. K. Kubli of
the local Elks' lodge, furnished an un
usual spectacle in the retail business

with people. The chase began at Fifth

name at the police station, came in

introduced himself to Acting Secretary
Aaron Harris as a member of the Los
Angeles lodge of EJka. He said he had
been robbed on the train and asked to
have a check for $50 cashed. Mr. Har
ris told Heler he would wire to Los
Angeles and if the lodge there would
guarantee the check he would pay It.
Heller then told Mr. Harris not to
bother as he knew Phil Metschan at the
Imperial hotel and would get the check
cashed there. He then visited the Im
perial and asked Mr. Metschan to cash a
check for $60, saying Mr. Harris of the
rjika club had sent him to the Imperial.
and Metschan met K. K. Kubli, who as
Esquiio of the Elks lodge considered It
his duty to take off the Elks button
which the forger was wearing. As they
came In sight of Heller he recognized
the two men whom he had tried to
bunko and started to run.
It was then that Kubli made his reo
ord sprint. Heller is a 19-year-old ath
lete and must have represented his
college in the sprints, but "Cap" Kubli

The Dalles, Or.. July 25. The body of
John Page, a young man, was found at
the edgo of the pines on D street abou
1 o clock this afternoon with a bullet
hole just below the left breast. It was
evidently a case of suicide caused by
brooding over his love troubles with
woman. The deed was done with a .3S
caliber Iver-Johnson revolver. It wus
round iving near the body with two
snens empty.
Uvirtently it was premeditated and
carefully planned, as the revolver was
purchased together with six cartridges
irom a local seeona-nanj dealer vester
day afternoon. Una of the shells was
probably used in testing the gun and
cartridges.
rage was seen going toward toe snot
wnere the ooay was rouna late yester
day afternoon and people in the vicin
ity claim to have heard a pistol shot
about 9 p. m. As the place where the
body was found is secluded the suicide
was not discovered until today at noon.
In the pocketB were found a number
r letters ana pnotograrns nnd 30 cents
in money. The body was well dressed
in a dark striped suit.
The relatives or the deceased are
supposed to live near Kini;sle" where
they operate a sawmill, hut the coro-

decided an Inquest was unnecessary as
it was a case or suicide.

EX.ECTKIO BRASS BAITS AS IT APPEASED ON THE OAS OH WASXXHQ-
TOXT BTBEET
By far the most attractive aa well as unique advertisement which ha been
seen in Portland for some time was the Electric Brass Band, which was used
to announce the Carmen's Picnic, held at The Oaks, July 23.
The use of this splendid instrument was donated for the occasion by
Eilers Piano House, the sole Pacific coast dealers in such instruments.
It was Dlaced on one of the flatcars of the streetcar system, and toured
Portland Wednesday and Thursday. During this time thousand of people
were completely deceived thinking there was a real band touring the city,
so much like a large band did it sound, and on several occasions the police
had to disperse the crowds whiclrgathered when the car stopped in the
street.
This uniaue and interesting Instrument is manufactured by the Wurlitxer
Co. of Cincinnati and Chicago, and sold exclusively on the coast by Eilera
Piano House. They are manufactured in many different sizes and styles, and
are probably the most popular music producers for skating rinks, moving
picture shows and like entertainments on the market, and are rapidly coming
into general use for such purposes. Instruments can be installed to suit the
size of any hall, from the largest to the smallest.
The House of Eilers is also the sole coast representative for a number of
other Electric Instruments of different makes such as Orchestrions, Electric
Pianos, etc. a large and complete stock of which is constantly kept in their
warerooms to supply the ever-increasing demand for such music.

Ix)ndon, July 26. Out of the "volup
tuous east" has Just come the most re
markable example of self-sacrlflce and
religious devotion of recent years. The
history of Prince Prlstang Choomung
of the royal house of 61am is one that
will make the wealthy and fashionable
of all the capitals of the world begin
to minK.
This prince, whose ancestry runs back
to the dim ages, has renounced all
earthly luxuries and become a Budd
hist priest. Sent some years ago by
tho king of Slam, his near kinsman, to
England to study engineering, archl
teclure and coast defense, the prince
was received with so great honor b

This was the climax of the prince's
career. He who had an inexhaustible
purse to draw trom, whose Jewels had
