Sharp Practice in European Hotels

From the New York Tribure.
A custom has grown up in certain
hotels, it appears, of requiring the trav-
eler to pay for one days hire of his
room beyond the number of days he ac-
tually occupies them. You arrive in the
morning; you leave week afterward in
the evening; you are made to pay for
eight days instead of seven. This exac-
ton believe to be perfectly illegal, as it
certainly is indefensible. The very
rooms you leave are let the same night
to another tenant, and the hotel keeper
thus gets two days hire for one days oc-
cupation. 1t is the duty of the depart
ing guest, no doubt, to give notice before
noon of his leaving; that done, there can
be no excuse for demanding pay for the
extra day. The bill is kept back to the
last mlnute-no matter how long before
hand you ask for it-in order to facili-
tate this overcharge, which will gener-
ally prove to be one of many. 1t is not

actually would detain it; still, nobody

An Indian Penalty for Malpractice.

AN 4no1an Fenalty TOR Malpractice.
From the Bodie (Cal) Standard.
On Thursday night last a medicine
woman of the Piute tribe, who has been
living near Bridgeport, was shot to death
by three buck Indians. On Friday
morning the chief of the tribe called
upon Judge Whitman and related to
him the circumstances of the killing.
The medicine woman had failed to cure
a sick child of the chief, and this being
the third patient who had died on her
hands, she was condemned to death.
Two young men assisted the father of
the dead child in carrying out the edict
of the law. She was removed short
distance from the camp and shot, the
three shooting her with one or more balls
from six shooters. The object of the
chiefs visit to Judge Whitman was to
procure coffin in which to bury his
child, he not liking the rude mode of
burial more generally adopted by the
savages. The Judge kindly furnished a
coffin that had been around the court
house for some time awaiting tenant
The child was buried with great ceremo-
ny, all the members of the tribe attend
ing the funeral. The old medicine
woman was buried without a coffin, a
hole being dug two or three feet deep
and she tumbled in in her everyday at
tire. This is the third case of Indian
justice being carried out that has come
to our knowledge within a few weeks
| yet we fail to hear of arrests.
