M GERMAN HOTEL.
Confusion Created by an EHgIishmdn
Who TAINTED a Bath at Once.

When man announces in a German ho-
tel that he has made up his mind to take a
bath, wave of incredulity, bafled wrath
and alert resentment sweeps over the estab-
lishmeni. The chambermaid rushes after
the waiter, he brings the manager, and final
" the proprietor comes up and looks the
guest over with an air of dim melancholy.
"Why," he asks sadly, "do you take bath
to night ?"
Because I want it"
Herein the room ?"
"Of course. don't propose to 60 on the
roof of the hotel"
ooh, well, all right" the proprietor says,
with the air of man who washes his hands
of a transaction that involves a suspicion Of
murder at the very least. IF you will do it,
it must be done. Hans, hot bath for a"
The waiter mutters something beneath his
breath about the ecceutricity of foreigners
and goes sadly away. Presently he looks in
again and says it is after O'Clock, and twill
take hours to make preparations. Forty
four-who happened in this case to be an
English merchant occupying an adjoining
room to mine-threw book at him, came
into my room in pajamas and seething rage,
and delivered an eloquent Grafton about the
recalcitrant spirit with which the German
regarded water.
'1'll get the BATH" he announced, as he
strobe into his room with a scowl, "if | have
to call in the aid of our minister"
The utmost confusion reigned during the
next half hour The one idea that seemed
to animate everybody in the house, from the
chief to the chambermaid on the top floor,
was the necessity of stopping the rash pro-
iect of No. II. Every effort was made, but
the result was failure, grim and complete.
About 10 o'clock the putting and grunting OF
body of men was heard on the stairs, and
presently two walters and a Waterman stag
gered in with bath tub, which consisted in
equal parts of green paint, cast iron and
rust. They dropped it in the middle of the
floor, cursed their fate with whole sonled
Teutonic enthusiasm, took off their coats
pulled up their sleeves, and fell to work with
several other attaches carrying water "
from the sub basement to the third floor il
small tin pals.
BY this time half the guests in the hote
had their heads ont of the doorway, making
large vocal efforts to find out wether the up
roar meant a fire or another dead emperor
When they found it was an Englishman tax
ing bath that hour Of the night, the excite
ment was more intense than it would have
been as the result of a new death at the place
or genuine connagration.

tabllsh, and which will have for
its special object the amelorslion
and improvement oil the Indians
and colored people.
A site for a suitable building has
been purchased at Arundel, near

convent and a school will be begun
immediately. This will be the
foundation for he extensive work
contemplated by Sister Catherine.
With her twelve novices, who have
been with her IN 81. Mary's Con
vent, she will go there in The early
spring.
Her final vows will probably be
taken in February, and The evelt
will be graced by a large number
of The church d%ignitarles in Wash
ington and from other cities.
