HOUSE.
The house only sat Tor half q day yester-
day, but it had merry time over resolu-
| ton introduced by Mr.. Keyes asking for the
continuation in office of Warden Randall,
| OF the Saltwater prison, until March 1. This
proposition caused long and heated dis
CUSTOM, Some Of the members held that
the resolut was not consistent with the
law and that it was infringing the rights
! OF the state executive, and wrongfully up
setting the acts Of the board of prison man
ayers. 1t will be remembered that Warden
Randall resigned at the December meeting
or the prison board, and his resignation,
! although reported to have been withdrawn,
was accepted at the January meeting and
Albert Garvin of St. Cloud appointed to
succeed him, and assume to Office OH
Feb. L.
Several members, including Mr.. Lomen,
| opposed the passage Of the resolution for
| the reasons that it would have no force if
passed and would be infringing upon the
prerogatlve Of the state executive and an Or
| gained board.
THE RESOLUTION LOST.
At length vote was taken on the mo-
ton to suspend the rules; sixty-seven men,
| beTS voted aye, and, as the motion to carry
| requires two-thirds vote OF the house, or
seyenty-siX votes, it was declared lost, and
Mr.. keyes' resolution then went over on
Mr.. Diments notice Of debate
1t is Mr.. Keyes' intention to call up his
resolution this morning, and, unless there
! is a great change of heart among the m EN-
bers, it will most probably be passed. 1t
may also be introduced in the senate, and
| v.
/ it is said, will be overcome.
Every Man His Own Waiter,
New York World: Several lunch rooms
in this city supply quick service because the
| patron helps himself. All he has to do is
to satisfy his appetite and thirst at bullets
and then pay his check as he rushes out.
49,, This remarkable system is known as
trusting to a,mans- honesty plan of q uick
lunch SERVICE" The first restaurant of the
kind was started in Broadway, near Cort-
landt street. several years ago. 1t succeed
ed so well that others initiated its methods
AS the names of the places imply, the
owners trust entirely to mans honesty to
be repaid Tor what he has eaten. Many
men throughout the lower part of the city
do not have time during their business hours
to take luncheon, especially where they
| have to go to restaurant, hang up their
hats and coats sit down to a table and wait
to be served, and to these men the new plan
| is boon.
When man plunges into one of these
palaces at noon he makes dash !orone of
the long counters, where delicacies are
| plentiiully spread. When his eye strikes
some It'd bit that suits his fancy he helps
himself to it, and at the same time orders
beverage from one of the white-aproned
men standing about: 1t is either coffee,
tea, chocolate or milk and in less than ten
seconds it is standing before him on the
sideboard. not in dainty cup and saucer,
but in big, plain mug.
Thus he stands up before tie little space
belongs to him, and munches away at his
food with'frequent sips from his mug.
When he gets his first selection down his
throat he walks to another sideboard and
selects some other kind of delicacy.
OF course there are clerks and cashiers in
each OF the restaurants, but none Of them
| seem to pay any attention to the wander
ings OF customer. He is free to go where
he pleases and select everything and any
thing he likes.
In a little place of this sort in Nassau
street the customer walks to the desk after
he has finished eating, or more probably
while chewing his last mouthful, and says
| to the cashier:
Two ham sandwiches, custard and
coffee"
'Twentyive cents, says the cashier, and
the bill is paid.
The regular customers, however, know
the prices Of all the goods, and walking to
the counter lay down . bill and say,
Twenty OUT or thirty out, as the case
may BE- or perhaps the exact change.
In broadway lunch rooms the customer
has to figure out his own bill. TO every
and on the walls are hung placards giving
the prices OF all the dishes.
When customer has finished his lunch
he goes up to a little rack, takes out check
loiH OHe " we rows, CnrOWS IL ON the CASH
iers desk with the amount of money it calls
for and walks out. The correctness OF the
check is never questioned. The customers
| word is taken every time. The men who
have put up their cash to back this system
claim that the percentage Of customers who
| deliberately cheat the house and get more
to eat than they pay for is verv small.
Did Not Trouble Him.
Yankee Blade: When Sam Jones was
preaching in Il Western town some time ago
he was annoyed by young man who was
whispering to his girl Finally the
preacher could stand the interruption no
longer, so he looked straight at the young
man and said -.
II will pause until the young man in
the back OF the room gets through talk
ing" KHAKI. - r "
The silence was intense, and every eye
was on the young man, who was still whis-
pering to his girl. He had been so busy
that he had not caught the preacher s
censure. Mr., Jones repeated the remark,
end this time the young man heard him.
Not an instant did he hesitate. but he i'm
mediately tried to square himself While
everyone was watching him lie looked
fsquarely Mt the preacher and said:
GO right ahead, Mr.. Jones' you are not
