Rarely in hotels. at home or abroad. does
one get much attention for more than a
day or two without feeling or letting ii be
known that fees may be expected finally
for proper service. This is the sad result
of lavish giving in days gone by on the
part of Americans, who did not know first
what to offer and desired that the servants
should not think them mean. The evil
probably never will be reformed. All that
cellent attention, and then give what seems
proper. utterly regardless of the recipient 5
opinion. If one really cares for what is
thought, peace of mind on a journey or In
the hotel is not for him. The poorest serv-
ice in hotels is given by the woman serv-
ants. and therefore. the housekeeper may
often be sent for 10 note neglect in cleanli-
francs), but the service thereafter Is ike
ly 10 be sullen, so that finally. when the
situation is not to be borne without loss OF
temper. one wisely concludes that the hotel
is not of his kind. and he goes elsewhere.
Ii is worth while to complain once TO the
effects reform one had better move on.
because IL will be evident that the manage
ment does not care whether he stays or
goes. The European landlord. and espe-
cially the landlady Is n callous creature.

Secretary Sherman came over from the
State Department at u o'clock and spent
some time with the President. The con-
ference was so long that the corridors filled
up and there was the largest crowd since
the day following the Inauguration. This
led to the usual talk as TO a conference
on Cuba. AS Mr.. Sherman left he was
asked by a reporter for authority to state
the nature of the call If it related To Cuba.
The secretary replied that Cuba had not
been mentioned to-day and that there were
10 developments beyond the fact that they
(the SPANISH had released another Ameri-
can prisoner. Mr.. Sherman spoke of this
release with satisfaction, adding that these
releases appeared to be progressing at the
rate of one every day. When ii was sug
gested that the length of the call might
lead TO conjecture as TO its bearing on
Cuba. the secretary said such conjecture
would be unwarranted as the call had ref
erence wholly to the papers he carried re-
lating to department affairs. Other mid
DAY callers were ex-senator cameron OF
Pennsylvania ex-Representative John S.
Wise of Virginia and a delegation of
Usage Indians. Sir Julian Pouncefote called
again and the President at o'clock.
He came as before in his capacity of dean
of the corps TO arrange for the call of
ladies of the diplomatic corps the Presi-
dent and Mrs. Mckinley. Other afternoon
callers were Senator Wolcott, Benjamin
Butterworth. who is a prvba blity for COM
missioner of patents but prefers to be So
licitOr general: Warner Miller, John Hay,
John ID. Foster and Representative Bur-
ton. of Cleveland.
The President was photographed at his
desk during the afternoon. This however,
did not interfere with the steady arrival of
callers. Secretaries Sherman, Gage and
Alger came in during the afternoon. The
conferences with members of the Cabinet
caused some delay among the other callers
General Draper. of Massachusetts. whose
name has been mentioned in connection
with foreign mission, was among the list
