HAM AND EGGS BY TELEGRAPH.
The Curious New Device in Use in New York
Hotel


There is one hotel in New York at whose
Office one hears wide departure from
the old and UNMARRIED cry of "Front,"
"Take this to 247," or "See what 80
wants." At this hotel the clerk hears the
tick of muffied bell behind him, turns
from the counter, chances at a dial about
twice the size of the face of an ordinary
nickel clock and Immediately behaves as
if he could see through all the walls be-
tween him and the guests rooms and
could read the mind of any guest in the
bargain. Click, goes the bell.
James, take up Manhattan cocktail
to A." says the clerk. Click, goes the
bell. "Boy," says the clerk, "take up two
soft-boiled eggs to Mr.. Tompkins, or
Johnny, run up and say to 1863 that it is
ten minutes after 10 o'clock" Any visi-
tor who spends an hour near the clerks
desk will be amazed at the variety of Or
ders that will be given to the han boys
without the clerks hearing a word from
any room by telephone. telegraph, speak
ing-tube or any other means.
The explanation is at once simple and
peculiar. Some genius has invented a
device that he calls by Greek name and
which is operated automatically by an
electric battery exactly as the old-fash-
toned hotel annunciators are. In each
room in the hotel is dial with a movable
arrow, like clock hand. On the dial are
printed the names of everything guest
would be at all likely to want-an the
drinks that ever we're heard of, papers,
envelopes, telegraph blanks, 'help'
doctor, police, chambermaid, messenger
boy, eggs, toast, milk, soup, oysters,
breakfast, dinner, tea in fact, every
eatable in common demand-a city direc
tory, the daily papers, playing cards,
cigars, cigarettes, chewing tobacco, a
barber-in short, everything in list of
100 or 15G necessaries. The guest pulls
the arrow to the name of whatever he
wants and by pressing button registers
his demand on the dial behind the clerks
desk, The only purpose it serves is to
save time in the execution of orders.

The Express Robbery.
FoTHERINGHAM INDICTED.

ST.. Louis, Mo-, Nov. 9.-The maneuvers
of the officials of the Adams Express
Company and the detectives who have
been working on the big express robbery
seem to be about coming to a head.
Ever since the day of the robbery David
Fotheringham, the messenger, has been a
prisoner, all denials and reports to the
contrary Notwithstanding. True, he has
nC7er been arrested, but the officers of
the Express Company simply took the
law in their own hands, just as much so
as any Texas mob that ever lynched a
negro, and, ignoring the police authori-
ties, imported detective talent from
Chicago, and have held Fotheringham a
close prisoner. True his cage has been
a gilded one-a room at the Southern
Hotel-but that he has been an unwilling
captive is shown by the fact that his
mother, who came here a week ago and
only succeeded in getting an interview
with her son after repeated failures, ap-
piled to-day for a writ of habeas corpus.
The papers were issued, made returnable
tomorrow, when the case will come up
IN court. Meantime representatives of
the express company have taken the mat
ter before the Grand Jury, and though
the secrets of that august tribunal are in
Vlolable, it seems to be certain that an
Indictment was found to-day. From
good authority it is learned tonight that
the habeas corpus proceedings will have
the effect of fastening the actions of the
express company. They have been lay
ing train and tramping q nine, and
though they have not yet got matters in
just the shape they would like to have
them, the mine will have to be exploded,
and it is pretty safe TO say that when the
dust settles after the blast Dave Fother-
ingham will be playing checkers with his
nose in the Four Courts.

LIFE IN ALASKA.
The Brief Night of Summer and the Almost
Endless Night Of Winter.
San Francisco Chronicle.


San Francisco Chronicle.
The staonation of life in Alaska is al
most uncomfortable. The summer tourist
can hardly realize it because he brings to
the settlement the only variety it knows,
and this comes so seldom--once or twice
a month-that the population arises as
man and rejoices so long as the steamer
is in port. Please to picture this people
after the excitement is over, subsiding
into comatose state and remaining in
it until the next boat heaves in sight.
One feels ones self mechanically; takes
ones constitutional along the shore or
over one of the goat paths that strike in
land nodding now and again to the famil-
lar faces that seem never to change In
expression-exceptd during tourists hours
and then repairs to that bed which Is
the salvation of the solitary, for sleep and
oblivion are the good angels that brood
over it. In summer the brief night
barely forty winks in lengths so sllvery
and soft that it is delight to sit up IN 1T
even if one is quite alone. Lights and
shadows play with one another ana are
reflected In sea and sky until the eye Is
almost dazzled with the singular lowell
ness Of the scene. L believe If L were
banished to Alaska / would sleep III the
daytime, say from a. m. to P. M, and
reveI in the wakeful beauty of the other
hours.
But the winter, and the endless night
of winter! When the sun sets In dlscour-
agement at or o'clock In the afternoon
and rises with faint heart and pale
face at 10 or IL in the forenoon; when
even high noon is unworthy of the name
for the dull luminary having barely got
above the fence at II o'clock, backs out
of it and sinks again into the blackness
of darkness which it is destined to endure
for at least two-thirds of the four-and-
twenty. Since the moon is no more OBJ
Iiging to the Alaskans than the sun Is,
what Is poor fellow to do? He can
watch the aurora until his eyes ache; he
can sit over a game of cards and glass
of toddy-you can always get the latter
up there; he can trim his lamp and chat
with his chums and fill his pipe over and
over again, but the night meanwhile
thickens and the time begins to lag; he
looks at his watch to find it is only p,
m, and there are twelve hours between
him and daylight.

The DepraYity of Man.
Baltimore American.

Seventy eight million lead pencils are
used in this country every year. There
is nothing particularly remarkable about
this except when we consider that seven
ty million are stolen by people from one
another. Then we begin to appreciate
the depravity of the human race. Steal
ing lead pencils is the universal sin of
mankind. A man too honest to pick up a
pin on a neighbor's premises docs not
scruple to steal the best lead pencil that
that neighbor owns. Such an evil ought
to be reformed.
