FOREIGN MISCELLANY.
American Families Excluded from the Grand
Hotel at London.

Hotel ut London.
Boston, May pa letter in the journal has
the following Several American families of
distinction and importance have recently been
refused admission to the Grand Hotel in Lon
don, on the ground that the hotel management
did not desire Americans among it's clients.
prominent American merchant reported this
matter to the American Exchange and said that
he was informed by the hotel head porter
that the Grand Hotel proprietors disliked
American 'ice-water' custom, and preferred
to keep their rooms for English
toners who spend money literally in the house
This same porter told the gentleman that the in
structions were to send all Americans to the
First'avenue Hotel in Holborn, where q fixed
price per day is charged. They say that the
Americans found it necessary to exclude the
Jews from frstclass hotels in America, and they
lind 1t for their interest to exclude Americans
here. They want customers who live in the
good old generous English and continental fash
ion. This is, of course, one of those refreshing
bits of English impudence which the traveller is
obliged to encounter from time to time. 1t is a
we'll known fact that an Englishman never ap-
preciates anything good until he has been able
to deprive symebody else of participating in it,
and he will like the Grand Hotel ever so much
better when he discovers that Americans cannot
go there"

LORD ST. LEONARDs.
He Is Convicted of Indecent Assault on
a Servant Girl.


LONDON, May 23-Lord St Leonards, indicted
for indecent assault upon servant girl, was
convicted to-day. The court reserved judgment.
AT the Brentford Police Court. before Messrs.
J. R. Hogarth and F. F. Ashton, Lord St
Leonards, described as of no occupation, living
at 0rnIond street, Richmond, was charged on
warrant issued by Sir Charles Daubeney with
assaulting Emma Cole, domestic servant at
No. II Victoria Road Twickenham, on May
G. The evidence showed that the prosecu-
trix had been three weeks in the service
of Mr.. Samuel Crawford at the above address,
and that Lord ST. Leonards had casually
met Mr.. Crawford at Richmond on the previous
Sunday, and had been invited into his house to
take cigar. On II. sday, in the absence of
Mr. and Mrs Crawford in London, the prisoner
went to Mr. CrawfOrds house at about o'clock,
and the prosecutriX answering the door, he re-
quested to be furnished with piece OF string to
tie up his dog. She, seeing that he was intoxi-
Gated, attempted to shut the door, but the
prisoner forced his way in and entered the draw
ing-room. where he roughly took hold of the
prosecutrix and attempted to drag her toward
sofa. In doing so she was bruised on the breast
and on one of her legs. She escaped from
him and the prisoner left the house, and
she informed man named Detmar,
who was at work in the garden, of what had oc
Cured. Shortly afterward Lord St Leonards
returned to the house and requested to be given
his short clay pipe that he had left on the draw
ing-room table
Mr.. S. Crawford stated that he had received
an excellent character with the prosecutrix, who
had conducted herself in the most satisfactory
way since she had been in his service. He had
been previously cautioned against Lord ST
Leonards, and his acquaintance with him was of
the most casual character. as he had never seen
him before the previous Sunday, when he walked
toward Twickenham with his lordship, who en-
tered his house to take some refreshment, and
whom he could hardly get rid of.
