SHAFTS OF WIT ENLIVEN BANQUET
Duel Between Rival Hunjé:i:;;;;“A;;al Dinner of New York Ho
tel Men. Simreon Ford and P. M. Murphy Tell of Their Woes.
Gotham’s Inn-Keepers Can Fool All the People.
Never have the hotel men of New
iYork enjoyed so fine a reunion as that
of the other night, when they celebrated
the twenty-fifth anniversary of the
Hotel association with a banquet at
Delmonics's.
Simeon Ford and Patrick F. Murphy
fought 2 shrewd battle of wit for the
after dinuer speaking championship of
the world.
Mr. Marphy went first to bat.
“Among the many arts and sciences,”
he said, “that have come to us from
classie time there is one that was coin
paratively unknown to the Greeks and
Romans, but which today has reached
its acme of perfection under the enltiva
tion of the hotel men.
“It is the science which teaches how
to get the greatest possible amount of
benefit from a guest at the least possi
ble amount of cost to the hotol.
“One of the great fruits of this sci
ence is forcing the guest to pay the
wages of the hotel help, and it is ar
ranged and shaped in such a scientific
manner that the public imagine they
are doing it of their own free will—un
der the name of gratuities or tips.
“This tipping system was created by
way of furnishing an outlet for the
overflowing simplicity of a guileless
public, and there is something slyly
satirical about the institution when we
reflect that the word tip is an abbrevia
tion and was originally called a T. L.
P., the initial letters of three words,
“To Insure Promptness.’
“I am speaking the sentiments of a
large and emaciated constituency when
1 say that Abruham Lincoln’s famous
phrase in literature is now shattered,
for hotel men can fool all of the people
all of the time.
“Since the delirlum of finance has
swept through the country and left its
impress, like storms on the roofs, we
should cultivate cheerfulness and be
satisfied with what is left. A multl
millionaire who lost in one day all his
wealth with the exception of $lOO,OOO
was so affected by grief that he died
when the news reached him. His
Dbrother, who had been poor all ‘his life,
inherited the $lOO,OOO and died of joy
the very day he heard the news.”
Simeon Ford looked taller and leaner
and solemner than ever when he arose.
“One year ago,” he said, *“we were
all throwing bouquets at each other be
cause the. wave of prosperity had
WITH DRAWN PI{STOLS
Forty Masked Men Ordered the
Negro Colony to Move.
A reign of terror was inaugurat d
among the seven colored families of
Normal City, the west suburb of
Muncie, Ind., when 40 masked men
carrying guns and revolvers appeared
at the homes and warned them to leave
by next Friday night.
The trouble arose froln an. assault
made upon Mrs. Emmett Hogan, a
white woman. who had la''y come to
the suburb from Kentucky. Hariin
confessed his guilt, and ror off wivh «
thirty days’ jail sentence and a fine ot
$5. The light sentence anvgeed the
people, and led to the for natlon of a
vigilance committee.
The report spread raoidlv arong
the 1,000 negroes living in the eastern
part of the city.
BLOWS TO CURE HYSTERIA
Man Says Physicians Ordered
Such Treatment for Wife,
Whenever Howard D. Flint of Syra
«<use, N. Y., struck his handsome young
wife he did it solely for the purpose of
bringing her out of a gpell of hysteries.
This is the defense to a charge of
cruelty outlined by Flint's attorney at
the hearing before Referee A. J. North
rup in the separation and alimony suit
brought by Alice Molineux Flint
against Howard D. Flint, ber husband.
The striking treatmeat, Flint de
clares, was ordered by a physician,
whose advice he followed. The Flints
bave been married three years.
The prevention of consamption is
entirely a question of commencins the
proper treatment in time. Nothiag

Wherevor a hotel man rests a few
bubbles are always in evidence.
“The worst misfortune which can be
fall a hotel man is to experience an
era of prosperity. We can handle ad
lversiry oasy enough, because we are
!usvd to it, but the minute the hotel
keeper shows his head above water ev
;cry capitalist in the land wants a fin
| ger in the pie, buys a $1,000,000 corner,
Lorects a $5,000,000 tower and prepares
| to sit in the game.
| “No man in this room can name one
' half of the new hotels erected in this
% city during the year and wouldn’t want
jtoif he could. They are as the sands
0« the sea. We are suffering from un
| digested hotels. Some day they may
lall be filled, but the balance of the
lL'nimu Stutes will have to be depopu
: lated to do it.
l “The American public has dropped
| about $750,000,000,000 this year in the
;shrinkugu of insecurities, and they are
| now trying to get it all back by econo
l mizing on their hotel expenditures.
; “Maybe you think this pessimistic
| talk is begotten of jealousy because I
i run an old fashioned place. Not at all.
i 1 am on velvet. I have made my pile,
Eand it is safely invested in Steel com
]mou. Amalgamated Copper and Ship
i building securities, and nobody can take
it away from me—that i 3, I haven't

5 “There are two very dangerous gangs
‘of men now at large in the city to
which we eall the attention of the new
‘ police commissioner. One works around
I the Grand Central depot and are called
Ebum.‘o steerers or gold brick promul
| gators. The other prowls about the
l lower end of the city, and we call them
' financiers. The one gathers in the hay-
Iseeds and jayhawks, and the other
{ takes in all the rest of the population.
i “But what's the use of knocking?
| “This is our twenty-fifth annual ban

!slmnld we repine? Wouldn't it be nice
(if the public would celebrate our silver
tanniversary by returning all the silver

SAW HIS NAME ON A VALISE
How an Oklahoman Found Half
Brother After Many Years,
Wwhen Arthur Lucas, an Oklahoma
ranchman, entered a depot at Wichita,
Kan.., a few days ago he glanced by
chance at a pile of valises on the floor

On one was the name of “R. L. Seiler.”
it struck him as strangely like that of
his half brother, whom he had not seen
«ince they were boys together in Cleve

Wkhen a .l)i;: man came in and pur

watched him attentively, and when
Le picked up the satchel the Oklaho
man spoke to him. Each found that

Wings i the Hair,
~ Mercury wings, done in silver or sil
yer braid, are becoming vastly popular
with the younger set, says the New
| York Press. Of course the dowagers
like Mrs. Astor and Mrs. Mills will not
abandon a tiara of diamonds for the
Mercury wings, even though they are
the latest fad, but the Misses Mills
wore them at the recent Sloane ball in
New York, and many others were seen
with the same style of ornament. Few
were of such delicate design ag those
worn by the twins.

NEWSPAPER FOR CRANKS.
«Take Nothing for Granted” Is
Periodical’s Motto.
On Jan. 1 No. 1, volume 1, of the Crank,
deacribed as “the unconventional mags
gine,” was published in Londen at the
not altogether unconventional price of
threepence, says a oable dispatch to
the Chicago Inter Ocean.
According to the promoters, it i to
be the organ of all people who think
for themsalves. There is, however, an
{mportant reservation. Readers and
contributors must think in a manner
which is thoroughly conslstent with
genuine social progresa. Hopes are en
tertained that the eclirculation will
eventually reach 50,000 or 60,000 copies.
The new magazine wiil appeal more
directly to the following sections: Vege
tarlans, socizlists, anarchists, passive
resisters, Tolstoians, *higher thinkers,”
splritualists, tueosophists, Quakers,
antivivisectionists.
The alms and objects of the new
journal were explained by the editor,
Miss F. E. Warland, a youag lady,
who. in a lttle, unpretentious office in
a narrow side street off Ludgate hill,
is busily engaged in assorting the del
uge of “crank” literature.
“The magazine,” she declared, “has
for its definition the witty sayings ef
Henry George, ‘A little thing that
makes revolutions,” and for its motto,
“Take nothing for granted.” We are
opposed to crystallization and stand
for fluidity. In brief, we desire to re
store the term ‘crank’ as a definition of
a wise thinking person. Our poticy will
be to advance from materialism toward
‘something better. We would like to
' see the world conducted upon the prin
ciple of real love.”
~ There will be no lack of “crank” comn
tributions to this “crank” journal. The
- most csxtra(u'&'xmry of all “cranks” who
1 will contribute to the new journal is a
doctor of philosopby who firmly re
‘ fuses to handle or deal in money and
manages to live upon what he calls the
service and geod will of other people.
He possesses a cottage in the country,
but seldom occupies it, preferring to
sleep out in the open alr, with ounly a
blanket for a covering.
NEW WALKING RECORD.
Rock Island Man’s Feat of Phys
ical Endurance.
A feat of physical endurance was
completed by Herman Schaele of Rock
Island, 111.. which breaks the world's
racord, says the Chicago Inter Ocean.
He made a wager that he could lower
the record for walking without rest,
which was 36 hours and 17 minutes. |
Ile began his task the other mornings
and did not give up until he had been
on his beat, a block in length, for forty
hours, thus lowering the record by
nearly four hours.
He was allowed fifteen minutes for
meals, which is customary in a contest
of the nature. Schaele was greatly fa
tigued by his self imposed task, but is
suffering no ill effects.
Whisky Medicines.
The temperance press is emphasiz
ing the danger to the bome in the use
of “medicines’’ which are loaded with
whisky or alcohol. In this respect, as
well as ia the remarkable characier of
their cures, Dr. Pierce’s medicines
differ from other preparations. -Dr§
Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery and
“‘Favorite Preseription’ contain no
alcohol, whisky or other intoxicant,
‘and are equally free from opium, co
‘caine and other narcotics. Kvery fam
‘ily should bave a copy of the People’s
Common Sense Medical Adviser, sent

The *‘Dog Wagon' in London,
TLondon by night is snortly to have a
unique attraction in the shape of an
elegant traveling restaurant, which will
perambulate the street for the benefit
of those who desire refreshment better
than that provided at the ordinary cof
foe stall, says the London Mail. The
traveling restaurant consists of a lav
ishly ornamented van some twenty
feet long by six in width, with a
doorway at the side, to which the cus
tomer ascends from the street by a
miniature flight of steps. Colored glass
panels bearing allegorical designs form
the windows round the sides, and the
back of the car bears in large letters
the announcement, *“Night lunch,”
which gives sufficient Indication of the
American origin of the new departure.
In Bed Four Weeks With La Grippe.
Wo have received the following let
ter from Mr. Roy Kemp of Angora,
Ind.: “I was in bed four weeks with
la grippe and I tried many remedies
and spent considerable for treatment
with physicians, but I received no re=
lief until I tried Foley's Honey ana
Tar. Twosmall bottles of this remedy
cured me, and I now nse it exclusively
in my family.” Take no substitutes.

Poor Corn, but Good Fuel.
’ The corn spoiled by last season’s
flood, since dried out. is being burned
for fuel, and it makes a very good ar
ticle, says the Wamego (Kan.) Times.
TFhere is considerabie substance in the
grain, and it makes a hot fire. The
corn, whrich is filled more or less with
silt from the tlood, is sold on the streets
at §2 a load, and there is a large
amount of it in this vicinity, south of
the Kansas river.
