IN LONDON TOWN,
Servants and Flunkeys Who Fatten On
American Liberallty.

Servants and Fiunkeys Who Fatten On
American Liberallty.
This fear of undertipping which
haunts most Americans abroad is well
understood, and have seen our coun-
trymen blush as though caught steal
ing when a funkey took a sixpence,
and, looking at it with raised eyebrows,
drawled THANK you," letting his
glance run from the gift to the donor
and back again as though both were
curiositics. He would never think of
trying his pantomimic- impertinence on
an Englishman, especially as the service
rendered was not worth financial recog-
milton.
In the big London hotels like the
Metropole and Victoria, which are pat
ronized by wealthy Americans, servants
are spoiled, and tipping from being
nuisance rises to the dignity of an
abuse. l was told that some of the
servants paid two thousand dollars and
their services per annum for the privi-
lege of waiting ON the Americans. This
seemed to me an exaggeration, until
one evening, while sitting in the Metro
pole with an acquaintance, lackey
came up with two or three letters on a
silver salvtr. My acquaintance took
them and laid half crown (sixty-two
cents) on the platter. And the letters
were nothing but tradesme ems circulars.
Taking that as basis, tha volunteered
assistance of the herd of loafer servants
who owned privileges on the Yankees,
must have cost him from ''ten dollars
up," as the advertisements say, per day.
We, of course, travelled third class,
corresponding with the American day
coach, and got from Liverpool to Lon
don for about s.. At the latter point
we left our luggage, as usual. at the
station and hunted around in the side
| streets off the Strand until we found a
hotel that no American had ever previ-
ously discovered, paying three shillinzs
| (seventy-fve cents) for nights lodY-
| ing. Our frstiwork the next day was
to hunt UP rooms. We secured fine
| large one, furnished to q point border
| ing on elegance, containing two single
beds, for 81 per week It was in Blooms
burg, under the shadow of the British
| museum, anu WlJnAu easy WHINING oAo-
tance of the Strand, the main artery OF
London. We at once fell into the En-
| glish way of having for breakfast pot
of tea, rolls, butter, and boiled eggs,
| which were furnished on demand for
eight pence and served in our rooms.
The other meals were taken out OF the
house. For lunch we patronized the so
called vegetarian restaurants, which IN
measure take the place of American
lunch counters. A vegetable soup, ar
entree of some sort, pastry or stewee
| fruit, coffee or tea and bread and but
ter cost about ten pence. Each item
was billed separately, as bread hal
| penny, butter same, tea two. pence, etc
Tor dinner we visited some cosey ittls
restaurant where the food was clean
we'll cooked and served, and where tn
comic and illustrated papers were sup
piled. Here we enjoyed soup, roast
a salad, pastry, dessert, cheese an
black coffee, served in courses, for abou
fifty cents, taking from an hour to a
hour and half for the meal Chicag

occurred about nine miles north of the

the mountain, about a. In. Dunn
had left home in the morning, and at
the station as he drove up in his cart,
Green came out and insultingly accosted
Dunn. The latter threw off his coat,
and slapped Green's face, but inflicted
no injury. Almost Immediately Dunn
was shot. The ball from Green's pistol
taking such fatal effect that Dunn
stepped but a few PAGES, exclaimed ST
am shot" fell and died. Trouble ex-
listed between the men before, on ac-
count of come cattle, and while it is al
most sure thing that Green intended
to slay hisvictim this may not be estab-
lished as a fact in court. The verdict of
the coroners' jury was to the effect that
Dunn came to his death from a pistol
shot wound, inflicted by John Green
with criminal intent.
