that the tremendously formal function
that marked tho opening ot the Hotel da
Olnk had really" caught Its full stride.
City Chamberlain Henry Uruere and
other celebrities already had made
spcecheA Flashlights hod banged. Tho
music of Dvorak. Schubert, IJceUiovcn,
Haydn ct al had been sawed olt steadily
by a string band, Vaudeville songsters
from Hammersteln's had raised tho roof
and everybody within sight had got thrte
lusty cheers repeatedly.
Hut the entranco of the Hon. Hat clad
In Ms gold teeth and evening scenery
was tho master sma,li of a mastorful
evening.
Everybody knows, or ought to know- b
Uis Umo that tho Hotel de Olnk Is an
unused. live stcrlwl building at Centre and
Worth street, owned by the city and un
occupied until Jeff Davis, tho hobo king,
and the city auUiorltles got together on u
scheme to let Jeff's followers clean tne,
place up nnd run it on H community plan
to houso and fled tho down and outers.
Their WiirU Well Done.
For four or five days Jeff and his band
have been sweating over piles of old lum
ber, cleaning up rubbish, scrubbing the
floors and generally making the long un
used building habitable. And last night
when Mr. Hrtieru and members o tho
.Mayor's committee Interested In th"
scheme entered the Hotel de Olnk tsey
saw nt a glance that the hoboes luid done
the cleaning up work well.
There was a Hag decorated rostium at
the east end of tho big loft when- the men
sleep, from which spewhes too many to
mention were niado while the flashlight
brigade tiled to blow the poor old Hotel
do Gink apart. Out In tle rentre of the
floor, roped off like a sublimated prize
ring, stood a piano of the old fashioned
square kind which had been donated by
th" Tel-Electrlc people.
Uirgc Hags of nil nations hung In fes
toons Indoors and two Ininienso American
Hairs fluttered from tho Centre and the
Worth street sldos of tho building. F.lec

Inside b'tw-n the walls r. tho four

well, a tramp, and beneath the notice of
th- great Industrial army of hoboes,
Along the west wall Jeff and his as

While the bright lights were burning
ngalnst the arrival ot the Hon. Hattllrig
Nelson, upon the flag decked rostrum ex
Hobo Happy Fr.edd Long, treasurer of
thn Hotel de Gink, made a rpeeeh about
the heating plant which even those clly
olllclals who had arrived seemed to he
delighted with.
Happy Freddy Long told how Jeff nnd

stringers among tho patrons, steam titters
tempornrlnlly residing nt the hotel and
other skilled workers to string wires, Hx
the boiler of the heating plant so the
pressure was reduced to Vfteen pounds
for safety's sake, and altogether had got
the place shlpsliare.
"Hut after we've got fhn boiler in grand
working order." said Happy Freddy, "the
Police D-partnifnt so far ain't seen fit to
give us a permit to start the Are. So I
says," he concluded In even and quite
d!spasslonae tones, "start the tiro and
t'll with the Police Department!" Mag
nltlcent applause.)
It should not be supposed, however, that
the oratory of the evening wis Incendiary

In the meantime patrons woro leglster

Opposite their real names the ginks

Still another was positively gifted. lie

And one, appropriately from Hoston, gave
hi occupation as "interpreter, nurwa and
harber."
In among ull these willing workers
strode the -plight' Io Llppa, chief of
