CHAPTER xxx

Hotels are one Of the strongest attractions
In America to Americans, especially the
ladies.
When we Europeans travel, we alight at
hotel, because 1t Is impossible that we should
have pitching place Of our own In each
town we visit, or friends able to receive us;
in other words, we go to the hotel, because
we cannot help it When we leave our good
bed and table, and set out to see the world q
little, we say to ourselves: ''The worst of it il
that we shall have to live in hotels perhaps
for month or two; but, after all, It cannot
be helped, we must put UP with hotels since
we have made up our minds to see Switzer-
Land, or Scotland, or Italy" Our object in
travelling Is to see new countries, make pleas
ant excursions, climb mountains, etc, and to
attain that object we must use the hotels as q
convenience, as a sad necessity.
In Europe, the hotel is a means to an end.
In America, 1t Is the end.
People travel hundreds, nay thousands Of
miles for the pleasure OF putting upa certain
hotels Listen to their conversation and you
VIII find that it mainly turns. not upon the
fine views they have discovered. or the ex-
cursions and walks they have enjoyed, but
upon the respective merits of the various
hotels they have put up at Hotels are for

Gambling and Horse Breeding.


The bill before the Illinois Legisla-
ture to prevent pool selling at trotting
parks has been the cause of curious
comments. One of the Chicago dailies
interviewed some of the members of
the State Board of Agriculture and the
comments of some of the members
were simply astounding. Such mem.
bers defended gambling because it was
the only thing that made the breeding
OF trotting stock profitable. Do away
with gambling, they said, and there
would not be trotting stallion in the
State that would be worth more than
draft stallion. We pretend to say
that no business ever struck lower
plan than that, and it is, as we have
already said, astounding that mon who
claim to be respectable citizens-whieh
means that they are supposed TO have
'he pest interests OF society at heart

America. cab which costs you one franc
and half in France, or one shilling and six
pence in England, costs you dollar and a
half in New York. The proportion is always
kept.
The dollar has not more value than this in
the lesser towns Of the United States. The
omnibus, for instance, which takes you to the
station from your hotel for sixpence Tor half

France, costs you half dollar in America.
Copper money exists in America, but If you

is: "Spare US a nickel" or "Chuck us a

The only things cheap in the States are
native oysters, and English or French books

States must hasten to adj that it is chiefly

cause his receipts are far larger than they
would be in Europe Situations bringing in
three or four hundred dollars, as in France in
England, are unknown in America. Bank
clerks and shop assistants command salaries
Of Thousand to fifteen hundred dollars a
year. A railway car conductor gets $50

In the grades above in the professions, the
fees, compared with those earned in Europe,
are also in the proportion of the dollar to the
shilling or franc. A newspaper article for
which would be paid in France from 100 to
$50 francs land no French paper, except The
Figaro, pays so much for articles is paid for

Horses were evidently plenty in the

But in Solomon case we have an op-
portunity of knowing the price of horses
II those days, as we are informed that
he paid 600 shekels (s375) for a chariot,
and 160 shekelS 1888 for horse. This
would show clearly that with 1000 sta
bles and 10000 stalls, either Ellwood, of
Illinois. or Slugmaster, of Iowa, is
doing a diminutive business in horses
in comparison with Solomon. No man
of this day can compare with him.

companies own $4,000 horses. But

SIOUX CITY Will STICK.
The COrnIluskers viii Try for the
Pennant OF 1889.


Special to the Globe.
SIOUX CITY, Sept. 5.-The Sioux City
base ball club, since It's reorganization
a month ago. is in better shape than
ever, and is making fight with Mime
apOlis for third place. Sioux City does
not expect to win the peDnant this year.
But the franchise will be kept for next
season, and it is settled fact that Jim
Powell will manage the club, and near
ly all the present players will Stay with
him. The pitchers next season Will
probably be Burdick, CrOwelI and
Seibel. CroSSley, of Minneapolis, has
been signed. and will be held with the
hope of getting good price for him be-
fore the season opens. Flanagan
has not been released as was
reported, but for sale. Glenn,
Bradley, Brosnan, Black, Cline
Seibel, Genins and CrOtty will be
kept if possible. Seibel hurt his back
before the season began. and has been
of little use so far, being now at his
home in Louisville, Ky. But he is a
good man, and will probably be in shape
to do good work next spring. MONK
Cline is always on hand and holds up
his end when fly" pitchers try to fool
him. He is a good man. This is
GeninS' second year with the club, and
money wouldn't buy him. CrOtty's
work at short makes him favorite and
insures him a job. Since Glenn has got
on his feet again he has done better
work than ever and everybody
likes him. Bradley and BrOsnah are
good men in their places and have
done better work this year than last.
Black was an experiment in this sec
ton, and has proved a good player.
The club was unfortunate about six
weeks ago, and lost its grip. and with
that people lost interest in its work. but
since it has been put on its feet, tinanc-
tally and otherwise, everybody is en-
thusIastic, and the franchise couldn't
be had for big Doodle.
