l"m<Tlbuto ,their essential part at.
every turn and a really alluring fea- I
Itjjre was the vocal program during
dinner. The United Hotels Company
officials, most of whom were In al
to 'dance, provided three accom- ;
ti'-ihed singers, the Misses Louise
Clarlton, Annette Walters, New York.
Neva Landrum, Chicago. The cabaret
style of entertainment appealed
strongly and as the singers leisure
ly drifted about among the diners, :
I I hands joined with vast spirit in
f e popular songs of the day.
Decorations Lavish
[ The decorations were lavish and
iveiy. Entering the lobby suggested
conservatory. Wreathes and long
fines of greenery twined here and
"lbere and about the desk were doz-
Kis of lloral displays. Businessmen
gought it significant of the loyalty r
i<n the United Hotels Company that i
so many of the other hotels in the j
organizations should rcsp >nd. No- i
table were the decorations sent 1
front the Ten Eyclt, Alb; ny; Hotel '
Lawrence, Erie; King Edward, To- '
• ronto; Tutwoiler, Birmin, ham; On- j
oiiirfaga, Syracuse, and from other;
hostelries. It suggested high-power
; team work, as though the whole
country was rejoicing with ITarris
burg in getting a new up-to-date
hotel.
The dinner and speaking after

Govorripr Speaks
The speaking started early bc
.; ..causa of the inability of the Gov
ernor and Mrs. * Briimba ugh to re
main throughout the evening, Presi
dent E. 'A. Wallower, as t iastmaster,
explained in presenting Governor
; Brumbaugh that another engage-.
• ment required his presence. The
•Governor spoke of the nev. hotel as
a civic triumph. Hart sliurg, ho
said, had been known every where as"
progressive city lacking only in
modern hotel facilities, and lie pre
dicted that the Pcnn-1! arris will
write a new chapter in ;he history
of the town and will become the cen
ter not only of community social ac
tivities, but will bring many yjsitors
to; Harrisbuig whp. other •. might
Bego elsewhere, ln-conelu m he ex
tended hip best wishes f< r the suc
cess of the enterprise an I a happy
new year to the guests.
Mr. Mttlldww'i Address
When coffee had been terved and
.the' Star Spangled Banner had been

with racket-making toys and thj
diners hilarious over the dinner fa-
Vni-s, Toastmastcr Wallover called

/ *-> president of the United Hotels
Company. Mr. Wallower in his in
■ trod uel ion went at some length into
■ die history of the new hotel, how It
Itvan dreamed of nnd discussed for
■ ears nnd how finally it wr s wrought
BP.nte activity by efforts of . few men
F ami the co-operation of lie whole
' city, lie made mention o' the diffi
culties that-had to he overcome and
spoko incidentally of the fact that
tilt Penn-llnrris expects to earn a
profit without a bar. In looking
about for a first class firm to run
I the hostelry, Mr. Wallower said tho
L ilr.-ctors had chanced upon tlie
■t .'ititcd Hotels Company, 'him of the
irgest nnd most suoces ful hotel
lanaglng companies In tho world.'
11l Mr. Dudley paid a fine 'rihnto to

| LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
A REPRIMAND
To the • Editor of the Telegraph;
The writer witnessed an lnclden'
in one of your city's shoe-shinlnf
parlors last Saturday that may b'
worth the telling for the commor
good.
The boy (a colored lad) was put
ting the last touches on the shoes ol
a Harrisburg attorney, when a
stranger mounted the seat and was
"next." A few moments later, and
before the last rub was given to the
attorney's pedal encasements, in came
a United States Army officer, who
mounted Hie sent. Instead of attach
ing the shoos of the "next" stranger,
the hoy turned his attention to the
man in uniform. The stranger po
litely, reminded the boy that ho was
"next," but the boy, hypnotized, per
haps, by the gewgaws militaristic,
stoutly Insisted the officer was
"next." Had the officer acted up to
the traditional conduct becoming one
of his rank, lie would have declined
to be served out of turn, but he did
net do so. If this should happen to
fall under ttie eye of the C. 0., it is
to be hoped that hereafter ho will
not for the sake of a petty advan
tage dishonor the uniform by un
gentlemanly conduct.
