AN EFFECTUAL BAR.
How Tally Is Kept Of All the PeO.
pIe In Hotel Dining Rooms.

The opportunities for stealing q dinner
in one of the big New York hotels are not
promising. The arrangements lave been
so thoroughly perfected that it would be
pleasanter for q man to suffer the pangs Of
incipient starvation than risk the mental
wear and tear and physical harm incident
to the theft.
For some years hotel beats lourished in
New York. They lounged about the cor
ridors Of their favorite hosteiries, often
had their letters addressed to the Office,
and were 80 much on hand that the en-
ployes Of the house supposed they were
regular patrons. Then the hotels began q
regular crusade against them, and they
have been relegated to the free lunch
counters OF the more prosperous saloons.
The same system is now in vogue at all
Of the city hotels. The head waiter is the
sentry of the dining-room. Five minutes
before the dinner hour a list of the guests
OF the hotel is sent up stairs by the clerk.
On the list is the number of every room in
the house, with the name of the occupant
(f any opposite. The head waiter stands
by the door, and when q guest comes in he
is asked quietly tine number of his room.
He gives it, and the waiter instantly sends
him to q table. The man, if he thinks of
it at all. supposes that the number of his
room has something to do with his seat
and passes on. The instant his bach is
turned the head waiter consults his
list, and if the room Of the number
given is vacant, or if it is occupied by
some one known to the waiter, he goes at
once to the man, and, while deity rear
ranging the napkin or placing the knives
and forks in neat rows, asks him seduc-
lively his name. If the name fails to
clear away the doubt the clerk is sent
for. He may recognize the man. If he
does not an Investigation is made at once,
and if the man is proved q fraud he is
taken out and handed over to the police.
The head walters of the hotels
are usually men of great discrim-
~ination. and very accurate judges of
character. They seldom make mis-
takes, but when they do slip up their
errors are clothed in such suavity and
gentleness that even the professional beats
cannot get angry with them.

Trollope left behind him an autobiography,
which is soon to be published. 1t brings
Trollope's life down to 1876. 1t is q frank
record Of his literary work and Of his
opinions. His account Of the poverty and

success and adventures as q surveyor in
Ireland are set down without reserve, and
it is obvious that incidents in his own life
were the germs Of many Of the best stories
worked into his novels.

A dispatch from Boston. Massachusetts,,
dated October IL, says: Mrs. J.. J. Prior,
the actress. and a member Of Maggie Mitch
ellis company for two seasons. died very
suddenly at the United States Hotel at
half-past IL to-day. While in Cincinnati a
week ago Thursday, after the performances.
she was partaking Of q slight lunch, when
q small chicken bone lodged in her throat.
and she was unable to take food for several
days. Sunday night she started East with
the company. but was suffering greatly.
Between Buffalo and Rochester she was
seized with a fit of vomiting and dislodged
the bone, losing q great quantity OF blood.
Her condition caused much anxiety, and
she did not play during last week. On
Monday she seemed completely recov-
cred and it was deemed safe for her
to resume her part-that Of Mrs.
Reed in "Jane Eyre" This she did,
succeeding in getting through very we'll
and did not feel unusually fatigued, but
decided this morning to husband her
strength. About half-past IL o'clock word
was brought to Manager Paddock at the
Park Theater that Mrs. Prior was very i'll,
and when he arrived at the hotel he found
her dying. DR.. Shaw could do nothing,
the cause Of her death being internal hem
orrhage. Mrs. Prior had been forty years
on the stage and was a great ~favorite with
Miss Mitchell and her company. Miss
Eva Byron, her understudy, has assumed
Mrs. Prior's role.
Mrs. J.. j. Prior, formerly Louisa
Young, was born in Newark, N. j., in
1880. She made her debut at Shire's
Garden, Cincinnati, Ohio, under E.
Eddy's management, in 1916, and first
appeared in this city AZ Eliza in Uncle

who has appeared on this planet, wrote
much on longevity. His signs of short
life are quick growth, fair soft skin. soft
fine hair, early corpulence, large head,
short neck, small mouth, fat ears, brittle,
separated teeth. Some OF his signs Of long
life are slow growth, hard coarse hair,
rough freckled skin, deep burrows in the

wide nostrils, large mouth, hard gristly
ear, strong contiguous teeth. He adds
that early gray hair ia not significant.

their friends may travel in rolling palaces,
but the general public must be transported
In antique arks, Of q pattern unknown and

not possible to read a print by the railway

Pacific line, with its modern coaches and

that the Central Pacific road is to be

tition does for transcontinental travel.

Care for the Ear.


We do not think that most people suf-
ficiently realize the Importance of caring
for the ear. In the case Of the cele-
brated Dean Swift whose lifelong suf-
ferings We're due to asimple cold taken
before his twentieth year, there were
ringing in his ears, deafness, headache,
nausea, vertigo or giddiness, with a
staggering gait. But there are multi
tudes of cases in which the trouble is
confined to simple deafness, slight at
first and hardly. noticed, yet steadily
increasing with years. Every winter
thousands lay Il foundation for it. The
part affected is what is called the
middle ear"
IT. is sometimes inhamed by cold air
striking continuously on the outside,
Just behind and below the ear, or pene-
trating the open cavity. Fashion,
which sends young children from over
heated rooms into the winds of winter
with the ears wholly unprotected, is
responsible for many sd cases
When there is Il "coll in the
head" (nasal catarrh the Inflammation
often extends to the Eustachian tubes
(the tubes that convey air to the mid
die ear, and thence into the ear itself.
Sometimes the throat and back of the
mouth (pharynX) are inAamed, and
the inflammation spreads upwards in
the same way. An Inflammation is
often thus extended from the nostrils
to the ear by an improper blowing of
the nose. One nostril should be
cleared at a time the other remaining
fully open.
AS the results - not noticed for
years-may be increasing discomfort
for LIE, the ears OF the young Snoulu
occasionally be examined by a COM
petent physician. The tendency to
deafness may be checked if taken in
time.
In the above cases there is thicken-
ing of the membrane tympana ear
drum, which thickening tends to in
crease with every new cold; or some
of the inner inhamed surfaces grow
together, and the action of the ear is
interfered with, or the Eustachan tube
becomes closed. Sometimes the earl
drum is perforated, the Inflammation
giving rise to suppuration.

Opeued Both Doors.

The other day, when it was pouring
rain, citizen turned aside to enter a
store on Michigan avenue, the door Of
which was open. He made several at
tempts to push the umbrella in before
him, but the space would not permit.
He was standing there, looking puzzled
and annoyed, when the dealer came to
the door and asked:
"Well, what is it,"
"The door is not wide enough to adj
nit my umbrella
"Ah! see-just wait"
And he straightway flung open the
other door to permit the man to enter
After they had talked of this and that
for half an hour the man with the
umbrella suddenly slapped his leg and
called out:
"By George! what dolt! If l had
closed my umbrella l could have enter
ed the door as it was"
That's sol Come to think of it
see you could" replied the other
"Well, well, not day passes that we
can't learn something new !"--Free

LADIES' DEPARTMENT.
Dress Hints.

The geometric style of dress-that
is, cut up into triangles and stiff forms
is trying for any kind Of figure, good
or bad. Where the figure is handsome
the nearer to the simplicity Of bit of
fabric draped about it in soft, clinging
lines the dress approaches the more
becoming. Long lines from the
shoulder to the foot give hight; hori-
zontal lines crossing the figures shorten
the person. Short, stout women should
avoid basques or any dress that makes
descriptive line about the hips;
ruAes at the shoulder or hips that in
crease the bulk; waists or skirts of too
great tightness, where looser draper
les would give slenderness to the figure
from not defining too clearly the lines
Tall women who are too slender, may
use the horizontal lines with advan-
tage, and increase the apparent size of
arm or waist by a surrounding band.
The double skirt is to them an advan-
tage, where it makes the short woman
too short.
