Novelties and Luzurles of Life in the Inns
of England.
The American visitor to London who
stops at certain hotel in that city
finds many novelties and convcniences
that are not known here in America,
where hotels are supposed to have
reached the acme of luxury. 1t has an
American plan dining-room, but only
French bill of fare. 1t has an In
dian room, where an Indian chef, in the
costume of his country, prepares ma
tive dishes for those who desire them.
In this hotel each guest is known by
the number of his room instead of his
name, and it is rather odd to an Ameri-
can to be addressed as Mr.. 90" as
though he were convict in peniten-
tiary.
On each floor, day and night, are to
be found a maid, valet and q waiter,
who are at your service and have free
access to your rooms. When you come
home at night, if you are II man, you
find your clothes pressed and cleaned
and carefully packed away in chest of
drawers. If you are a woman the maid
attends to friIls and furbelows, as
though she were hired by you especial
ly. Guests never bother with their keys
the maid or valet on the floor takes
charge of the key and is ready at any
time to open your door.

There has just died in Victoria, r.

she met with the Kearsarge, a tug
came off the coast and took him and
several others of the crew ashore and
they were paid off. His share was ST.

in a little cabin behind the Jubilee"
saloon, and on Saturday evening" while
sitting in a chair in the saloon was

called and Alabama was picked up and
carried to his bed, but died almost in

supposed cause of death.

Where Hotel Men Draw a Line.

Among annoyances to which hotels
are subjected is one which means mate
rial loss at busy times. This is when II
person telegraphs or writes for rooms
to be reserved and upon arrival in town
decides to go to another hotel. Very
frequently rooms which could have
been given to guests are vacant on ac-
count Of this, and the careless hotel
patrons appear to be unaware that they
have inflicted any injury on the house.
Sometimes, however, when clerk calls
upon them with a bill for the rooms
that they didn't occupy they are open
TO conviction of wrongdoing and settle
the bill. The matter has rarely been
one of litigation, but the hotel man
has the best end of it, and the Proprie-
tors National association intends to
make it so understood whenever it is
necessary.

Experience Going to His Brothers.
Willie Lindsay, q 1I-year-oid boy,
whose home is in Keokuk, Ia. arrived
at the house of John w. Lindsay, his
brother, in Hammonton, n. j., the
other morning and told him that he had
come to pay him visit The boys
clothing was covered with dust and
badly torn and he presented a sorry
appearance. Willie said he left his
home in Keokull ten days ago with the
intention of coming TO New Jer-
sey to visit his brother. His par
ents being opposed to the journey,
he ran away at night and boarded a
freight train. After being put off the
cars several times he finally reached
Chicago. From that city he beat his
way on freight trains to Philadelphia.
There he boarded train which carried
him to Jersey City. Another train
which he boarded by mistake took him
to Troy, n. Y. In his ignorance of
localities he next found himself in
Harrisburg, Ia. Camden was the next
city he saw in the course of his adven-
tlres. The boy completed his journey
by riding into Hammonton on the cow
catcher of q locomotive. His brother
says lie will send Willie back to Iowa
in the spring. He notified his parents
of the boys whereabouts.

Pennsyivania's Glass l. Engine Can Make
One Hundred Miles an Hour.
An innovation in the shape of a loco
motive with S0-inch wheels, placed in
service by the Pennsylvania railroad on
its Pittsburgh division, is attracting at
tention all over the United States from
the superintendent of motive power
and men interested in the operating de-
partment of railroads. The engine is
known as a class L locomotive, and is
now running regularly on fast trains
between Pittsburgh and Altoona, and
its driving wheels are IL inches higher
than any wheel ever used west of the
Allegheny mountains. Some years ago
when the Pennsylvania's Class X en-
gine No. 10 made its first appearance
on the New York division of the road
with 72-inch drive wheels it created
widespread interest among railroad
men all over the country, and was
known as Long Legged No. TO-" The
new class l. engine now in use weighs
about 10000 pounds, and carries a
steam pressure Of $50 pounds to the
square inch. With an 6O-iuch wheel this
engine viii cover 1872 feet at each revo-
luton, and is capable of mailing 100
miles an hour when pushed to the ex-
treme limit of its speed. 1t is under
stood that locomotives with SO-inch
wheels viii be made the standard on the
PeuRsylvauitlines west of Pittsburgh.

HCGGISH FISH.

SO Carps Arc Said to BE, Because They
VIII Eat Anything.
The carp is Il very hoggish flsh," re-
marked a prominent naturalist at the
Cuvier club to a Cincinnati Enquirer re-
porter the other day. 1T will eat any
thing digestible, from water-soalled
log to growing lily" continued he.
Its natural food consists of worms,
nuggets, larvae, snails, beetles and
other insects, but when these cannot be
readily obtained it will feed on any kind
of plant that grows in or near water.
But few years ago carp ate up all the
wild rice on Portage river, thereby
driving away all the wild ducks that
were in the habit of coming there to
feed.
The German carp was first intro
duced into American 1877 by the United
States fish commissioner. These fish
were placed in ponds, especially pre-
pared for them at Washington and Bal
timore. In 1850 the distribution of fry
began, and up to January of the sub
sequent year the carp had been planted
in no less than 1850 localities. They
prove to be especially adapted to Amer
lean waters, and in some localities they
grow with surprising rapidity. A flsh
four inches long placed in the waters of
Texas was found to have increased to
20R inches in II months, attaining a
weight of five pounds"

FRED Sims A PROFESSIONAL
The Plucky Washington Cyclist
Leaves the Amateur Ranks.
VIII Not Follow the National Cir
delphia, Baltimore and Here.

The opening of the present seasons
the professional ranks of the well-known
rider, Fred Sims. OF all the speedy cy-
clists who have gained prominence on the
local tracks none has eQualed Sims. After
gaining a high local reputation, Sims
first came into national prominence in
1894, by winning the intercollegiate cham
pionship at Berkeley oval, n. Y. Since that
time he has occupied leading position
among the foremost riders of the country
in amateur circles.
Sims ability as an athlete is inherited,
for his father, John Sims, who was for
so many years the physical director of the
local Y NJ. c. A was one of the fastest
sprinters who ever wore a spiked shoe
Fred possesses a splendid physique, and
even before his debut as a cycle rider he
was known as one OF the strongest young
sters about the city. He commenced hi
cycle racing in 1892 by winning the Dis
trict OF Columbia championship against
many experienced riders. After winning
the Intercollegiate championship in 1894,
Sims went on the national circuit. win
in which was included every amateur race
run in Baltimore.
In 1895 Sims was placed in class B, and
during this year he beat such noted riders
as Eddie Bald, Tom Cooper. Cabanne and
others. At Manhattan Beach, on June 5,
he broke every worlds record from three
60 nine miles. AfteIward he was severely
injured in falls on the track, and during
the latter part Of the season was laid up
for some weeks. Last year he had some
trouble with the racing board, and was
temporarily suspended by Chairman Gi1eon
He decided TO enter the professional class
this year, and as he is in splendid condition
it is expected that he will figure as one
of the leaders in the seasons racing He
will not follow the national circuit, but
will take in all Philadelphia, Baltimore
and Washington events.

THEIR COLOGNE EXPENSIVE
Two Young Swells Took Some From

They Thought 1t Was a Good Joke.
But Judge Miller Took a Diff
ferent View of the Case.

Two young men with very swell-looking
clothesand very tired manner, were before
Judge Miller this morning, and when the
charge against them was read, a ripple
of excitement went around the room. The
young men gave their names as Howard T.
Rotheny and George A. Plant, and adj
mitted having stolen two bottles of
cologne, valued at fifty cents from Ogram'
drug store. Frank B. Upton, night clerk
for Mr.. Ogram, testified that the young
men came into the store at q late hour
last night and asked for some medicine.
While he was filling the prescription he
noticed one Of them pick up the cologne.
They paid for the medicine and left, but
Upton followed them. AT Twelfth street
they met Policeman Kilmartin, and Tip
ton asked him to arrest the men. At the
Twelfth street station, Plant wanted to
pay for the cologne, but Kilmartin would
not allow the case to be disposed of in
hiatt way. Judge Miller called Rotheny
to the stand and asked him if he could
explain his actions. His honor said
1T is surprising that a young man of
IL
life should do such thing as this / can
not conceive what object you would have
in taking the cologne. You had money
to pay for it, and really had no use for it,,
1--WE did it for joke, your honor" said
Rotheny. I'VE had been drinking a
good deal, and went into the drug store
to get some medicine for friend who was
sick. We saw the bottles lying there,
and thought it would be good joke to take
a few of them. 1 didn't really mean any
harm, and we offered to pay for what we
had taken, but the officer would not allow

We'll, it was a pretty poor joke. You
can each pay So for your fun They had
no money, and stepped back.
