Americans Abroad.

Company and loan-mongers seem
to have been more bitten here with
desire to buy their way into So
ciety by judicious gifts than to plant
their wares in the West End. And
in this they have had to compete
with many of the Americans who
have established themselves here.
The English aspirant for social re-
cognition used, when these COM
panies were being foated every day
by means of a fcticious premium,
to make things agreeable to his
West End friends by giving them
a check, the result, he said, of an
allotment of shares and their sale
at a premium. For this the allottee
was expected to give him a helping
hand up the social ladder.
The Americans who were COM
peting for social recognition met
this by giving costly jewelry, or by
check. But the funniest part of
this society business is the system
of some lady agreeing (for a con-
sideration in meal or in malt to
secure guests for ball or recep-
ton.
An amusing story, which l be-
lieve was true, was told two or
three years ago about one of these
arrangements. A lady-very rich
had taken large house in the
West End, and entered into the
usual bargain with caterer of
guests. At her first reception, she
had invited considerable number
of her own friends. The caterer on
learning this protested. as her
friends, she said, could hardly be
expected to meet number of quite
third-rate people,"
On this it was agreed that the
lady should only be allowed to ask
ten of her own friends to each OF
her future receptions. The wonder
is that any one cares to give a ball
or reception under such condi-
tions; all the more as it is fully
understood that the invitation in
wolves no reciprocity, or, indeed,
any further acquaintance with the
hostess. When the entertainment
is ball, the caterer applies to one
or two of the providers Of dancing
men, each of whom has his list,
and to each on the list an invita-
ton is sent. The supper is consid-
cred an adequate recognition of the
services of the dancing men, but !
suppose their provider gets some
thing more.-London Truth.

To Put Out q Candle.

This is how to extinguish a can
die without blowing or snuffing it
out: Take piece of thick copper
wire coiled in spiral at the end.
Fasten the other end to wooden
handle. Hold the wire so that the
coil will be around the flame of the
candle and very quickly it will be
extinguished. The copper, by its
great conductivity, takes the heat
away from the fame and it cools
so rapidly that the temperature
falls below the point of Ignition and
the light goes out.

The DELEGATES appointed by the
late Statehood convention to 60 to
Washington to work for Stal ehood
for Arizona, should be in tie field
early and get their plans laid for
an earnest active campaign. State
hood is the sine qua non for the
people Of Arizona and they should
leave no stone unturned in secur-
ing that end. OF course it is not
expected that the delegates are to
pay their own expenses in the pros
ecurion Of this work. This would
not be right and Arizonans would
not ask it. Our people should con-
tribute literally to fund for this
purpose. Maricopa county, the
principal one in the Territory,
should take just pride in making
q large contribution for this pur-
pose.

were brewing over in Europe. Rus
STA wants the mouth Of the Danube
opened to navigation and is casting
longing eyes upon Oonstantinople.
Should she attempt to enforce her
demands, she will be met by Prus--

ally. England would probably
take hand against Russia and
France and the prospects are that
if the ball opens the powers of
Europe will all be drawn into it.

A Travelling Man Refuses to Pay for
Room Assigned Him.
There was quite scene ut tho Nc
Lure House last night at midnight.
Earlier in the evening a New York trav-
cling man registered at the hotel and
was assigned to a room. He made a
kick to the clerk, saying that the room
did not suit him. The hotel people
were unable to give him better room
and the travelling man wanted to have
his baggage. The clerk refused to give
it up until tho bill for tho room had
been paid. The man retorted that he
had not used the room and did not in
tend paying for it.
Then there was further discussion as
to whether the hotel could legally hold
the baggage in a case OF this kind, and
the man refused to pay the money again,
and reiterated that he was going to have
his baggage. At this juncture Officer
Luiens was called in, and the strangers
desire for personal encounter with
the clerks cooled down somewhat.
Charley Seabright acted as a mediator
and advised the man TO pay the bill and
escape trouble. He would not consent
to this, and finally went away to an
other hotel and gave warning that he
intended to sec whether thelaw wouldn't
force the hotel to let him have his bag.
gage. The outcome will be watched
with interest.

An iterestinS meeting OF the council
committee on health. was held last
evening. The committee found that it
had left to cover the expenses OF the
remaining two months of the year but
1928 out Of its appropriation, and bills
to the amount OF $lO3 were recon-
mended to council for payment, which
does not leave much margin to 60 on.
The amount of garbage burned at the
crematory has fallen off in the past
month or so, and the committee dis
cussod the propriety OF having the an
nual inspection begin now and run
through the season when tho garbage
is at the minimum, so that tho places
which need cleaning may be cleaned
before warm weather, and the filth
burned when there is comparatively
little else for the crematory to do.
Then tholquestiou came up, where was
the money to come fromP 1t was APP
parent that there was no money. Then
it was suggested that good way would
be to let things run on just as they are
till tho end oil the year, and begin the
inspection January l.
Mr.. Richards offered resolution to
abolish the position OF assistant to the

fact which has often been commented
on elsewhere, that the physicians OF
the city pay no attention whatever to
the law requiring them to report all
cases OF contagious or infectious dis
eases as soon as they find them.

fine from 81 to $50, but it has
long been dead letter. The
doctor did not explain why he
did not enforce it. He spoke OF several
cases OF diphtheria, due, he said, to filth.

been bad, it had disappeared; every
patient was dead. Members OF tho
committee mentioned other cases and
