The bicycle stolen from Mr. Samuel Davis last week was traced to Quantico, Va., and re- covered there by the owner yesterday through the instrumentality of an advertisement in THE Star. “Exclusively for Guests.” To the Editor of Tue Evextxe Stan: In nearly evory hotel waiting room or read- ing room in this city will be seen the legend: “This room is exclusively for gucsts.” The phrase varies with the hostelry, but the word “guests” always appears. Is it not possible that what our hotel keepers mean is precisely the opposite? Thoy may mean to say that the room in question is for the use of those board- ing, living in the house; peoplo who are ex- pected to settle their ‘bills promptly every week, and whe are anything but “guests.” It would certainly be interesting to seo some per- son who is lodging and boarding at one of our hotels wave aside his bill on the ground that he isa “guest” of the honse, ‘The effulgently attired gentleman who presides over the revenue department of the house would be convulsed with emotions which would give fresh brilliancy to his bejeweled breast, and the hopeful but mistaken lodger would swiftly discovor that “guest” he was none. But, after all, the hotel managers may mean that their pleasant sitting rooms are set apart for the public, for visitors, who are truly “guests.” ‘lhese are supplied. ad libitum, with pena, ink and paper free of cost, aud they may road’ and lounge here as long as they will, while the boarders or patrons of the house, having their own rooms to retire to, are ex- pected to take a polite hint and avoid’ trespas- sing upon conttesies which are extended clusively to the “guests” of the house. This a handsome thing for our hotel people to do for our citizens, and doubtless they iad thoir profit in it. x cee Suing the Belt Line Railroad Company. Charles H. Faller has, by Thomas M.
