Can an american Keep a Hotel,


No, he cannot, answers with much
emphasis General Rush C. Hawkins in
he North American Review. Ameri-
cans do not know how to cook for a no
tel, and that is the most serious count in
his Indictment. He himself undertook
summer campaign among country re-
sorts. visited four of the best advertised
and highest priced ones within a radius
of several hundred miles. and at length
returned to his city home in despair and
disgust. with his digestion, he had reason
To fear. irreparably damaged. AT one of
the resorts he tried a certain so called
fancy dish" which purported to be ca
pom and truffies. He found it was "a
sort of cold pressed hash of veal and
beef tongue, with not particle of capon
or even chicken in it, while the truffies
were composition of a shining black
substance of the texture of isinglass."
In spite of the 81 to g. a day charges
at our principal hotels, General Hawkins
has information from expert authority
that the total cost per head for food is
no more than 10 cents.
The cooks in our hotels are "a lot of
French, German, Italian and Irish upper
solutions who are no more cooks than
they are astronomers" The most they
ever did in the old county was to peel
potatoes and wash onions. OF the food
these fellows serve General Hawkins re-
marks:
Ii is quite unnecessary TO write that not one
in ten of those products OF the kitchen named
in the bill of fare is properly prepared de-
Gently served. The vegetables are usually cold
and sOSgy, often stopped with nasty looking
and worse tasting sauce The joints are usual

THE best posted London opinion is to
the effect that the unionist leaders in
the house of lords do not anticipate any
great delay in regard to the remaining
stages OF the home rule bill. Although
the whips point to the possibility that the
discussion on the second reading will
not take place until early in September.
the opinion in unionist quarters in the
upper house Is that it will be nearly over
by the end Of August. The peers ex-
pect the bill to reach them in the course
of the week ending the Goth. 1t will be
read first time Immediately, and the
second reading discussion will begin on
Monday, the 28th, at the latest. There
will be many speeches, but the peers are
prepared to sit late if there is any pros
pect of getting away from town earlier
in consequence, and it is now thought
that weeks solid debate will be ample.
OF course, if things are so situated in
the house of commons that there is nc
prospect OF an early termination. the
peers may proceed IN somewhat more
leisurely fashion. But in any case they
will. as body, get away early in Sep.
TENDER, as only a few of the Official
peers need be at hand to pass the appro

begin to be as wealthy as this republic
is. There are only $500 university stu

THE SHANN TRIAL.
How Mrs. Sham Forced John to Drink
stun From n Bowl.

TRENTON, Aug. il.--In the continuation
of the sham murder trial Professor Theo-
dore G. Wormley. who holds the chair Of
toxicology and chemistry in the medical
department of the University of Pcnusyl-
vania. and Professor Henry D. Cornwall
testified that they found mercury in small
quantities in the remains OF young Sham.
whom his ~ other is charged with having
poisoned. After rrccss Professor Cornwall
again took the stand He testified tina, the
poison found by him in the kidneys and
brain pointed to the continued adminiS;ra-
tion to the patA.ut rather than n single
dosing
Under cross examination the witness
said the jars containing the organs which
he had tested came to him from the county
physician un>ealed. lie did not know that
all the books on toNiculogy laid it down a.
a rule that the jars must he scaled. and
even Iit they did it was not necessary in
every case.
The witness was subjected to a long eN-
animation on his knowledge of the atSorp-
tion of mercury by dead bodies, the effort
of counsel being to show that the mercury
found in the organs was due possibly to
the fact that the undertaken used chloride
of zinc on the body. The witness would
not admit that dead bodies could absorb
poison that way, but if they did it was
not likely That tue kidneys would ABSORB
It to the exclusion Of the other organs.
| Carrie PyRtt, q colOred woman who used
| to work for Mrs. Sham. said she visited
| the family about week before Johns
death and saw him in bed while she was
| there Mrs. Sham gave John some mctii-
| cine ont of a tumbler. The medicine was
/ a mixture of stuff taken from two bottles
and bowl. Mrs. Sham told her that the
/ bowl contained ice water. Mabel Sham
was present. John lay in the bed on the
| fiat of his back, and Mrs Sham got into
| the bed and fixed herself astride of her son.
| putting her knees on his arms as ii to pin

don't give him his medicine that way. You
amt got no spoon Better raise his head
up"
That's right, Carrie John exclaimed

The witness said nothing and neither did
