The Curious New Device in Use in New

The Curious New Device in Use in 8 New
York Hotel to Send Meals.
New York Letter.
There is one hotel in New York at whose Office
one hears wide departure from the old and I'M
varied cry of Front" Take this to 247." or
''See what 80 wants." At this hotel the clerk
hears the tick of a mufied bell behind him,
turns from the counter. glances at 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 between 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
visitor who spends an hour near the clerks desk
will be amazed at the variety of orders that will
be given TO the hall-boys without the clerks
hearing word from any room by telephone,
telegraph, speaking tube or any other means.
The explanation Is at once simple and pecu-
liar. Some genius has invented device that he
calls by Greek name. and which is operated
automatically by an electric battery exactly as
the old-fashioned hotel annunciators are. In
each room in the hotel is dial with !, movable
arrow, like clock hand. On the dial are print
ed the names of everything guest would be at
all likely to want-al the drinks that ever were
heard of, paper, envelopes telegraph blanks,
'help," doctor, police, chambermaid, messenger
boy, eggs, toast, milk soup, oysters, breakfast,
dinner team fact every eatable in common
demand-a city directory, the daily papers,
playing cards, cigars, cigarettes. chewing tobac-
CO. a barber-in short, everything in list of 100
or $50 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.

A Conservative selection.

Boston, Nov. 10.-E. A. Perry cables to the
Herald from London, this evening, as follows:
"In selecting Prince Waldemar. of Denmark, as
successor to Prince Alexander, the Bulgarian
Assembly has made very conservative choice.
1t was feared that the patriotic party would
bring forward Prince Alexanders name and in
sst that the abdcation was legally incomplete
till approved by the Great Sobranje. This
course may still be held in reserve should the
Bulgarian government find tirlpossible to avoid
the veto power of the Gear in any other way.
But in fixing upon Prince Waldemar the Assem-
bly, shows that it desires to avert further COM
plications by presentingan unexceptional prince
elect for confirmation by the great powers and
the Sultan. The. Princes acceptance of the
honor is, however, very much questioned. He
will certainly decline if there is risk of the Cars
opposition"

Beecher,s simple Creed.

BSookEn Special.
The leading feature of the day was the admis-
sion of a score of new members to the church
Mr. Beecher announced that the form of admis.
sion was of the simplest character, as were the
acquisitions for membership. All that was re-
quired was that the candidate should declare
that she or he loved Jesus Christ and was en-.
deavoring steadfastly to live according to the
principles He incucated. The creed of the
church, he explained, was not so much an ex-
preston of the individual faith of che member
and subscriber as an indication to the comnsuni-
ty at large of the lines upon which instruction
might be expected from the pulpit. Then, hav-
ing read the names of the candidates, he request
ed them to rise. Most of them were seated near
the front, and when they stood up Mr. Reecher
proceeded to read the form of admission. It
contained several questions as to their religious
condition, and put two or three demands to
which they were supposed to accede by a nod

The election return forger seems to have got

number of glaring erasures and alterations in
the returns have been discovered. True to it's
record, the Cincinnati Enquirer declares that the
Republicans have been tampering with returns,
which, as the erasures are all in favor of Demo

the bad Republicans have been throwing away
good votes in order to get the innocent Demo,
