There Are Servants and Servants.
The example of the late steward Of
the Marlborough Hotel, who began as dish
carrier at Delmonico's and ended as one OF
the most expert and popular buyers and
private dinner managers in the city, Is a
lesson worthy of the study of every young
man who finds himself cast in the role Of q
seryftor. The lesson is, there are servants
and servants. There are humble carriers of
hotel dishes at four or five dollars a week
and head walters who manage hundreds Of
men and stewards who handle hundreds of
thousands of dollars at from two TO i've
thousand dollars year There are cooks
oovnerpaid o'n n at sH month and cooks who earn
$1,000 year. There are lackeys at GO week
and iackeys at 500 week. T6ere are maids
extravagantly remunerated at So week
and maids treasured at ss5. There
and private secretaries at $4,000 year.
The lowest fades by degrees into the high

me alnerence Is OF grade, OF brains, OF
plication and continuous hard work It Is
customary in tlis country to regard all per
sonal service as degrading and all servants
as menials beneath respectable considera-
tion. Just why the mau who brings your
food and arranges your table Is any more a
servant than the man who measures out
your tea and sugar or cuts your silk and
calico Is too nice a point for argument The
pay is mostly about the same, and both are
equally subject to the whirns and insolence
OF customers and employers. Nevertheless,
there fs distinction in the pnblic mind, and
this distinction has always existed.
Rewards of Personal Service.
The rewards of personal service are
not to be despised. Thousands Of men in
New York who are personal servants make
more money than the average tradesman
and tens OF thousands who wear white

than the average farmers and land owners
of the country. There are hundreds of
merely upper servants, such as housekeep-
ers, buffers, head walters, stewards. Wallets,
private secretaries, ETC., who are better paid
than the majority of bank tellers, cashiers.
etc.. and actually make more money per an
mum than the average country bankers. The
average personal servant of q rich man,
whether that servant be valet, courier,
steward or private secretary, Is usually
man OF brains. education, personal probity,
varied experience, sound Judgment, and de-
are ample evidences everywhere in this
great city that all of these qualities make
valuable servants and are as necessary to
those who would reach the highest rewards
in that line ms they are to successful inde-
pendence. About all personal service in the
metropolis is in the hands of foreigners. And
we, well-"They also serve who only stand
and wait"
He Created q Sensation.
AN Englishman with g sandy beard-s
big-boned, brawny- looking fellow-created
diversion on Broadway one suItry day last
week by appearing IN a slouched hat with
white towel round it, the red striped ends OF
the towel floating behind over his neck.
That Is to say. it looked like towel; but 1t
was the right sort of thing, don'tyou-know,
for India. On Broadway it created more ex-
citement than any article of male attire has
for many years. Even the passe and blase
Broadway car horses stopped to look at 1t
with astonishment
