They Are as Safo as the Aver- age frm Fire. A D:ecription of the Different Houses, The rceant hotel firo in Milwaukee accompanied with such a great loss «f I:{e bas created a feeling cf fearin the minds of the greater portion of the iraveling pubilo, Whatever has been said about the Newhall house belng o fire and d eath trap might probably he a8 trathfally eaid concerning hundredas of other hotel s ructures in the conn- try, particularly in tho west. Some houses cortainly are constructed with the greatest care in order to in- sure them against & calan- ity by fire. But a desire to have a large house with a big ca- pacity for guesta « ften loads the bulld- i | er, with comparatively limited capital to cat on the substantlality of the building, and erect with a view of making the hotel loock impcsing and grand, when inrealily it s nothing more than a tender box, which when the toroh is applied will vanish 1ato the air in the shortest possible time. Aftor the building has been barned, and the fire has been attended with a loss cf 1ify, the wiseacres are arcund saying, ‘' told you so.” This does not- help the matter. A Chicigo drummer was interviewed by a re- porter in that city a few days ago and in apswer to an inquiry raid thot he could name at least {wenty-five hotels in the west which wore equally as unsafo as the Nowhall had boen before ita destruction, A Bre reporter yesterday mado a tour of the Omaha hotels to learn from perconat observation aud inqniry whother the drummer’s assertlon had any application to them.
