An American traveller i'm Switzerland
calls attention to the great and increas-
ing popularity Of that country as sum-
mer resort, and reasonably argues that,
aside from the charms of Swiss scenery,
this popularity is in part due to the ex-
cellence of the hotels there and the mod
crate prices which prevail at the most
of them. And he adds that landlords
on this side of the water would do well
10 borrow leaf from the Swiss book,
and consider whether better service and
lower prices might not be to their ad-
vantage in the long run. 'Tf,'' he says,
"you can get comfortable rooms.
excellent meals, and cheap, good
wines in Swiss mountain-top
hotel, to which everything has
to be brought on horseback, for 81
to So a day, there is no reason why
American hotel keepers, who have all
their supplies brought near their doors
by railways, should charge twice that
sum, while serving meals infinitely less
satisfactory than the Swiss hotels,
which, in point of cuisine, are the best
in the world" It costs twice as much,
this writer thinks, to spend a summer
travelling in America as to spend it

SO successful were the railroad men
in securing popular approval of the
standard time system that it is not sur
prislng that they should be on the look
out for other innovations for the i'm
provement Of their time tables, one OF
the pecullarties most confusing to the
general public in search Of railroad in
formation Is the difficulty of distin-
gushing between morning and after
noon schedules. the simple designations,
p, m, and "a M, being not sufficiently
distinctive. An attempt was made to
do away with the divisions of day and
night and number the hours consecu-
lively from one TO twenty-four, but
there were so many arguments against
this change that 1T was abandoned, in
this country, at least; it is now in use
in certain parts Of Canada A change
now suggested in Chicago is the division
Of the day at six a. m. and six p. M,
instead of at noon and midnight, and
the printing Of the day time schedules
in black on a white back ground and
the night schedules in white on black
background. Whether or not popular
conservatism would consent to doing
away with the old noon and midnight
division is doubtful, but certainly il
would be a convenience if the railroads
adopted, on their own account, some
thing like the suggested method OF
printing their time tables.

AN INTERESTING INCIDENT.

An interesting thing happened at a
Methodist conference in Seattle the
other day. When DR.. A. j. Hanson, of
Puyallup arose to present his report,
he said that he had some good news to
report from his section He said that
the hop crop, the main support of the
people, was a failure, and that it had
been "cursed by Cod Bishop Bowman
asked if the hops had not grown. DR..
Hanson replied that they had grown
but they had been Cursed by the hop
louise" Bishop Bowman then said
"Good!' and from all over the room
voices could be heard giving fervent
utterance to the ejaculation, "Thank
Godr'
This means that hops are used in
making liquids that will intoxicate hui
man beings; that it is wicked to have
anything to do with such liquids; that
human 'aeings who grow hops that may
be used in the making of such LIQUIDS
are working wickedness when they are
working in their hop fields; that God is
displeased with the hop-growers of
Washington; that He has decided to
show them that He is displeased with
them and that He has chosen the hop
louise as the humble yet efficient instru-
ment by which He will visit merited
punishment upon Them 1t will be not
iced that Dr. Hanson said that the hor
crop of his section had been "cursed by
Cod and Cursed by the hop louise !,
but of course he meant that the llol
louise was merely the instrument OF
cursing and not the cursor.
| If what DR.. Hanson said is true, ane
if the hop crop of Washington has real
| ly been cursed by God through tht
medium Of the hop-louse some interest
ing questions will present themselves t.
the thoughtful mind. OF course they
cannot be answered, but they are non.
the less interesting for that. 1t woule
be especially interesting to hear from
DIR. Hanson how he heard the importan
news that he reported to the conference
| He couldn't have got it from the no,
| lice. He spoke as one having authority
1
and evidently impressed his hearers
with the truth of his speech, for they
shouted hearty and pious approval w
should like to hear further from him i
| he knows as much as he appears to
Perhaps he can tell us why the hop
growers of Washington are cursed fol
| their sinful agriculture while hop-grow
ers of apparently equal sinfulness il
| other parts of the country are no
cursed. Perhaps he knows, too, WHY
this is such a remarkable year for ap
pies, from which cider and applejacl
are made, and corn, from which whiske,
is distilled. According to the theory OF
which hops in Washington are cursed
apples and corn ought also to be cursed
and all three ought to be cursed ever,
year. But all three have had seasons o
great prosperity as well as seasons o
what DR.. Hanson would call "cursing.
Has DR.. Hanson been praying that tn
hops of Washington might be picket
out for cuising this year, and does h
look upon the hop louise as the answe
to his prayer?

the regatta committee $3.50, The con-
tract price OF Defender is said on the
best authority, outside Of the men VINO
paid for it, to be $4,000 This included
one suit Of sails and spars she has,
however, had new set of spars, and
the cost OF these was about $4,000, Three
suits OF sails were made for her in ad.
dition to the Herreshof canvas at cost
of about $4,000 She has been locked
three times at a cost of $500 day, four
days in all, $1,000 1t is difficult to es-
innate the cost of towing, but at $50 a
day she has spent about $500, She has
been in commission altogether about
three months and the pay of the sailors
has been $50 month, or 800 in all for
forty-two men, making $3.50. Their
food has cost in the same time about
$3.50. Captains Haff and Terry will
divide about $4,000 between them for
their services. The tender Hattie Palm
er has been in use all the time she has
been in commission at cost of about
$50 a day, or $4,000. Thus the total ex-
pense of building, equipplng and main
taining the yacht up to the time she
was towed to New Rochelle Friday was
I
about $115,670 OF this amount Messrs,
Iselin and Morgan paid $4,000 each ana
w. K. Vanderbilt paid the rest.
The original cost of Valkyrie is esti-
mated at $4,000, with $4,000 extra for
two new suits of sails. Extra spars are
calculated at $4,000, the same as De-
fender. British sailors are not as ex-
| pensive as the Deer Island men, and
her forty-two men have cost SIS a
month each for four months, or $3.50
| in all. Captains Cranheld and Syca-
more are not as expensive as the Amer
lean captains, but Lord Dunraven has
had to pay the pilot and sail-makers,
together with their passage to this
country, and that of Watson, twenty
| Of his sailors, and his own. The men.
therefore, who have come to America
| by steamship have cost him 81, $50, and
| the pay of Ratsey, the pilot, and Syca-
more has been about $4,000. Besides
this the cost of the yawl rig has been,
with the expense of changing twice,
about $1,000 more. The City of Bridge
| port, which has been used as a tender,
| has been at least $3.50 a day, or $500,
but her towing bills have only been
| about $3.50. Docking has cost her the
| same price per day as Defender, or
| $4,000 in all. The cost of feeding the
men has been about $3.50, making a
total cost of sS721o for the races.
Another item of expense in connec-
| ton with the race has been the money
spent by George Gould in bringing Vigi-
liant out as trial boat. He spent
about 100000 on her, putting her into
the best possible condition, and had
her in commission for about three
months at a cost of about $4,000 a
month. This would add s29, 900 to the cost
of the racing, to say nothing of Jubilee's
changes.
1t also cost about 100000 to build the
Ailsa, which was built by the English
with the race in view What it cost
the excursionists who went to see the
great tlzzle cannot be told, but 5000, 900
is probably moderate estimate of it.
So in all about 100000 has been spent
to find out that Lord Dunraven is "a
| gutter"
