s Globe Hotel, no longer fit for decent visitors, is let to Lee Si Tut, a rich Chinese, who re-lets his apartments to Chinese residents of the better class — to shopChinese residents of the better class — to shopmen, waiters, clerks, and agents. Lee Si Tut takes care to have no tenant of bad repute. A thief, a rag-picker, a night-prowler cannot hire a bed in his hotel. Non Jackson Street may be regarded as the royal khan and summer-palace of the Chinese empire in America. Pass in. Oh, Lee Si Tut!
