WAGES OF WAITERS BOOSTED
The Colored waiters at two places in
Omaha have had their wages raised
ip the last ten days. The first were
those at the Commercial Club who are
now being paid $1.00 per luncheon
against 75 cents formerly. The sec
ond were those at the Paxton, who re
ceived a little higher wages after a
strong front put up by their head
waiter, George Watson. The latter
took the fight to the manager and told
him that not only must the wages be
increased, but the waiters must get
board. He finally won out and the
matter was settled Tuesday morning.

The Monitor is the only Colored
paper in the United States making a
direct effort to help people out of the

THE MONARCH
BILLIARD PARLORS
Tliereare only two ways to do any
thing in life, the right way and the
wrong way, and having gotten rid of
this bit of philosophy we wish to say
that in opening the new Monarch Bil
liard Parlors, Mr. Jack Broomfield has
opened them in the right way. For
refinement, finish, and equipment we
doubt if there is another place of its
k>nd in America. Mr. Broomfield
Spent more than $4,000 fitting up his
new parlors and in this sum are not
included several of the handsome oil
paintings upon the walls, the values
of which run into four figures. The
carrom and pocket tables are of the
latest and finest type; the brass-chair
hr.ng lights of exquisite art metal; and
the furnishings done in rich ma
hogany. It is really a beautiful place j
and has already become the mecca foi ;
gentlemen who love a quiet and pleas
ant game of pool and billiards. Mr
Broomfield has made a spectaculai
bid upon fortune for the success of
his venture and our prediction is that
even fortune cannot hesitate to shower
her prizes upon one who feels that
the finest in the land is none too good
for the people of his race.
