Reasonable Utterances in the Virginia
Senate bv Senator Harrison.

The following dispatch from Richmond
Va, explains itself; In his speech 10 the
Virginia Senate, in favor Of appropriating
more money for the volunteer militia Of
the State than will probably be allowed
them, Senator Harrison Of Winchester,
who 10 q violent Bourbon and the youngest
member Of the body, is reported BY the
Bourbon press as saying:
"Espe cialiy are the State troops neces-
sary at this special juncture. If natiousl
election Law is passed and the creatures Of
4 partisan President, as judses Of election,
incited riots, let not the Governor Of the
State be forced to call upon the President
of the United States fer troops to carry out
partisan purposes II the polls" The Ian
gusge of the Senator was much sron ger
than reported. He said then an emergency
might arise that would require the volun-
teer troops Of Virginia TO meet the troops
of the United States At the polling places
of the State. to protect the rights of Vir-
ginians against the encroachments Of Fed
ersl power
He also called attention to the fact that
the United States Army now consisted of
only 25,00 men. His speech in its refer
ence to keeping up the Virginia military
seemed 10 have been inspired by the fear
that Congress would pass q national cleo
ton law, aud his remarks, therefore, were
OF the nature of menace to the Govern.
ment. He seemed to hold that the law
cannot be enforced without the aid Of SOL
diers. and that the United States soldiers
should be confronted at the polls with the
bay onets of the Virginia militia. His re-
marks astounded the republicans and demo-
Gratis in the Senate so greatly that they
csald say nothing. Yesterday Mr.. Harri-
son was asked by Senator wings, repub-
lican, to explain what he meant by his re-
mark. but Harrison simply answered that
he meant what he said. and passed on.

WATERS ARE VERY ACUTE.
Traits Which Enable Them to Size Up
Customers at a Glance.

II suppose that the average run OF
people think that a waiter does not
know anything beyond the knowledge
which leads him TO serve the fruit be-
fore the entree or the tutti frutti in
advance of the demi tasse. = said an in
telligent French waiter in a downtown
restaurant the other day to a N. Y.
Herald a
Yet, as a matter Of fact" he con
tinued, 1--WE do notice every little
detail about people who seat them
selves at the tables apportioned to us
by the manager of Il restaurant. The
reason we do so is because by this
practice of sizing up our guests we can
generally tell how it is best for us to
90 to work in order TO get a fee out Of
them or to discover that we are likely
not to get any fee at all.
You see If we come to the latter
conclusion there is no use Of our vast
ing time on them, rs we can put it to
a much greater advantage by letting
them wait. while we hurry the orders
OF better-paying customers.
I'VE are o afraid of any COM
plants which they make TO the head
waiter. because while we give up free
~ 10 him we "a never get into any
serious trouble. Besides he would
only listen to complaints that came
from habitues, and, rs they always fee
us well, they are always well looked
after.
How can we judge people at a
g%lancep Well, I'll tell you, sir. You
see, in the first place people from the
country or those not used TO city
restaurants always enter the room with
a kind of an uncertain air.
Suppose it is a young man who Is
going to buy a lunch for his girl. II
he is not used to the business he looks
doubtful and unhappy. He does not
know what to do with his hat and hest
tates in choosing a table, and very like
ly will end by putting his hat on the
floor when he takes his seat. and his
girl will invariably take her place be-
side him instead of on the opposite
side of the table, rs she should.
Then, in studying the menu, he is
apt to look at the prices first, and it is
apparent that all the French names in
the list are SO much Greek to him. The
result is that his order is of a most in
congruous nature. aud would make
any out a well-trained waiter smile in
spite Of himself. There is no none
for the waiter in people like that.
The city maj is different. At a
glance he sees which available table
has the best location and instinctively
chooses n as far from the kitchen
and as near a window as possible. He
always knows, too, exactly what he
wants. and will often order without
looking at the menu at all.
Still, city men often make me tired
by insisting in talking Fresch to ne.
