RED CROSS HOSPITAL London, Aug. 2'>.?(Associated PresB Correspondence.)?Tho Star aad Garter hotel at Fichmund on the Thames( whidli has lout been pur chased by the real estate men ot Great Britain and presented to thf Quceti as a Red Cross hospital for disabled officers, is probably the most famous hotel in England. For something over ir>0 years there has been a hostelry of this name on the brow of Richmond Hill, present ing the finest view of the winding river etat ds obtainable anywhere anywhere within a day's journey ot London. The view from the windows of the Star and Garter has inspired poetry from Wordsworth to Maurice as a picture which "IlurstB in a flood of glory on the view. Still bright, still varied and fore ar new." An auctioneer's advertls??mcni printed 136 years ago described the property as follows: "These duty do slrable and valuable premises, the Star and Garter on Picbmond Ilil?. the favorite spot for centurlcB past of princes, and the admiration and resort of. urn first nobility and taste In Europe; heplete with every re quisite convenience for the reception of all ranks in the public Une, pos sessing tho most extensive and dellgt ful views of the ThameH, the whole forming one of the most enchanting pictures In Great Britain." One o' the notable occasions of the big hotel was a breakfast served on Juno 10, 1814, at which pere present the prince regt.-t of England, the emperor of Russia, the duchess of Oldenburg, and the king of Prussia, with Oils sons and neph/|.VB. Ithe company, which also included Gen erals Blucher and Platoff, had Jour neyed out from London by coach. Queen Victoria was a frequent vis itor to the hotel, particularly during the earlier years of her reign, and ?'ore were few of her royal contem poraries who did not at one time or another partake of" its hospitality during the decade preceding the fire of 1870, which destroyed the greater part of tho luxurious building. Within two years it was rebuilt tn even more magnificent fashion, and for the next few years was at the zenith of popular favor. King Ed \va:.'d, while Prince of Wales, was often seen there. The cook was ex cellent, t'.ie wines unimpeachable, and the C03t heavy enough to keep away tho "mob". GlM>n a Hue pair of horEes, it was a delightful drivo of Just the right distance from Hyde Park Corner, tho center of fashlon abio London, on a fine summer even ing. Not only were the smartest of private dinners given there, but the great city companies hold their banquets in the spacious pavlll.jn, and statesmen and celebrities of every degree met beneath Its roof. But wtt'.'i the dawning of tho (pres ent century the attractions of the Star and Garter waned. It is the con ventional tiring to say that the com me of tho automobile killed its pop ularity. Other causes contributed. The road, instead of running through pleasant open country, was rapidly becoming an artery of heavy omnibus and tramcar traffic. The era of the fashionable restaurant in town hd be gun, nd it -was no longer neceasry to go so far afield for a good lunch eon or dinner. Ten years ago, t'to hotel closed Its doors. There have since been rumors from time to time as to reopening it as a palatial board ing bouse or rebuilding It Into a block of luxurious flats, but none of the scheme came to maturity. In its now use as a permanent boa; pltal for officers. It will preserve for a work of national usefulness a site of- rare beauty. The hotel is almost completely surrounded1 -by park lands, which have been gradually acquired by the OLondpn County council to give the public easy access to the hanks of the Thames. "What's this?"

It's The Hit Dog That Howls While we had our "suspicions" as soon as the series of display ads now running in the afternoon paper began to appear, we did not KNOW that they were "hitting at" us until their issue of the 23rd., in which they state: "A publisher who gives premiums to boost circulation frankly admits that HIS PAPER IS NOT WORTH THE SUBSCRIPTION PRICE." Our worthy contemporary, the "Daily Wail" has taken up twenty odd inches of space daily for the past several days in an effort to tell the good people of Anderson about the demerits of this paper, and the merits of their's; and in rebuttal we will qumtc again from their ad: "The Evening Paper is the Growing Paper" and state that this remark is in part true, but only in part. They should have com pleted the sentence, making it read: "The Evening Paper is the Growing Paper?Growing more jealous daily of the success of the Premium campaign of The Intelligencer." "Why?" You ask. Because The Daily Intelligencer k Has Added Over Three Hun dred New Subscribers ?with the Spoon Premium, and when the "Daily Wail" finally tumbled to the fact, they wailed loud and long. Good friends, this is the milk in the cocoanut. There's no need to look further for the reason for this "much ado about nothing."
