LIabilI,r Of ohlcnro Hotel nren.

Travellers may be interested In tho
news to the effect that Theodore Bendit,
O New York drummer, has recovered a
Judgment of $40 against the Palmer
House Of Chicago for coat and over
coat which were stolen from his room.
Mr.. Bendit brought his suit as q test
case for the benefit of commercial trav-
elers who have to stay in Chicago.
1t has been a well settled principle of
law in most Of tho states for long time
that hotel keepers were liable for the loss
or theft of a guests wearing apparel,
provided the guest himself was not at
fault or guilty Of negligence which led
to the loss or theft Indeed, in New
York state this principle has been 80
broad that the legislature has seen fit to
restrict it, presumably on account Of the
heavy damages several times recovered
against hotel keepers prior to 1883.

Everybody in big city knows how
difficult it Is for what may DO called tho
lower middle class 20 make acqu0int-
ances. Young men might marry young
women If thoy knew any, and young
women might mako good wives If they
knew where suitable husbands could DO
found With that practical instinct
characteristic Of the British it is pro-
posed now to hing these eligible people
together. For the young man and the
maiden at present there is no common
meeting ground.
The scheme is to talIo most Of the large
boarding school buildings, which IN
America would be called public schools,
and turn them into meeting places for
those anxious to marry--to let the chill
dren have possession Of the schools by
day and the older people take possession
Of them at night. Now tho buildings
stand idle after dark 1t would be easy
TO have dances, meetings and lectures
thoro, let every ono attend who cares to
and in this way bring about a union Of
loving hearts. The plan is feasible, and
the chances are that it viii be carried

There is no information in regard to
the nature Of the disaster. The Naronic
may have collided with a derelict, or
there may have been fire or an explo-
sion on board, such as to compel her
crew to abandon her and take to their
boats only to perish in tho severe storms
of Feb. 90, "a, or Feb. 81, %.
If the Haronic took the northern trans
atlantic route, which should not DO fol-
lowed after Jan. II, she may have col
hded with an iceberg or field ice and
have been sunk, as was the iron bark
Adamantine on Feb. q, in latitude AZ
degrees 81 minutes north and longitude
AZ degrees 80 minutes west. From this
position the Naronics boats may have
been drifted by tho prevailing winds and
currents to the place where seen by the
Coventry.
There has been less ice and fog this
season than usual, and It is strange that
such disaster could occur without leav-
ing some more definite trace of its ma
ture. -Hydrographi Office Bulletin.

One Of tho novelties of the year In
shipbuilding Is the turret deck steamer
built by W. noxford s. Sons Of Sunder-
land, England, which is practically a
modification Of the whaloback type now
largely used on the great lakes. In the
only vessel Of this design yet built the
huh Is shaped like most other vessels
from keel to water line, but from the
water line the shell Is rounded off up
ward and inward until It terminates at
the upper deck level in an upright struc-
ture, misnamed a turrct, running fore
and aft. The vessel has no sheer, the
deck reaching in perfectly straight
line fore and aft.
The plating, running inward from the
water line to tho turret deck Is thick and
strong like that Of the hull proper, so
that the whole slain Of the vessel above
and below "a Of the same thickness.
The engines are placed aft, as in
whaleback steamers, so that from the
engine room to the forecastle there is a
long, continuous hold, interfered with
only by the necessary bulkheads. The
boats accommodations for engineers
and crew are all abaft the engine room,
but the captain and officers are placed as
usual under the bridge forward

The smallest conscript In France is

sonage is barely 70 centimeters I'm height,
which is just about 28 inches, or feet
inches, in our measurement. Little Ber-

summoned to draw his number out Of
the conscription urn like his fellows Of
the same age, and he gravely presented
himself as bidden. At first, when his
name was called out, it was thought he
was some child who had been brought
in and was told to answer as a joke. But
on looking at him again it was seen that
he was a dwarf with a slight mustache.
