4 NOTABLE DEFENCE OF TIPS.
The decision made in one of the depar

The decision made in one of the depart ments at Washington that tips" could not be included in bills of expenses has revived an ancient but still interesting controversy. Much has already been said on both sides of the question and much more will be, and then it will be left as undecided as ever. But some re- marks that have been made by a French waiter in New York are worth general attention, because they form as good a defence of tipping" as can be made. Do you know what you are seeking to do? asks this waiter. You would reduce the waiter to the level of the day laborer. You would make of an artist mere mechanic. Abolish the tip and the fine art of service, with all the thousand refnements that dignify it and add to the comfort and happiness of the appreclative served, would be- come merely a matter of dumping so much food before patron. There would
 De no QlSJlnCulOn between the walter and the man who carries their food to the pigs in bucket. The waiter would come to regard the patron as the man with the bucket regards the pig. And the patron, so regarded, would accept the point of view, the table would be- come to him as is the trough to the pig, and at the table he would soon behave himself like the pig at the trough. He would come to the restaurant not to
 dine but to feed. He would porclnely gobble his food and go. He would care nothing for the excellencies of cookery or elegancies of service. The whole art of dining, the whole science of gas tronomy and all the complicated civil ization that depends upon them would be lost in savagery, and the race would be by so much barbarized and bestial- ized if you abolish the tip. See you not that the tip is the cornerstone of the whole system? For it is the tip, passing between patron and waiter, that estab-

She was born in Fillmore, Mil- lard county, in 1868, and afterward spent several years on a ranch in Piute county. At the age of fifteen she re- moved to Salt Lake and entered the University of Utah, (then the Deseret university,) graduating with honors.

SAYINGS BANK INTEREST.

The decision of one of the great saw ings banks in New York to reduce it's rate of interest has been followed by talk in New Haven that a reduction will soon be made here. It is, of course, inevitable that a reduction will come The depositors in savings banks in New Haven have been fortunate in getting even four per cent, on their money. Money has been cheap" for several years now, and the savings banks of New Haven have only been able to pay four per cent. so long because they had good investments made at time when money was worth something. But now, with government bonds paying less than three per cent and other first class bonds paying less than four the situation is very different. Still, three and half per cent, or even three, with the principal safe, is better than big interest with risk. So the deposits in the savings banks are not likely to de- crease.

fishes between them the personal rela- ton of master and servant without which good service from waiter to pa- tron is impossible. For, look you, if take not the tip, am not at all the servant of tho patron. I am his equal. I am, very likely, his superior In many respects, I am a citizen of the United States, I am worth twenty thousand dollars honestly earned, am master of my profession, I am an educated man, speak three languages, am a householder, taxpayer. But am an employe of the establishment you say, Very well, So. usually, is the patron serve an employe of an establishment, of a bank, of a shop, of newspaper. owe duty to my employer, just as he owes a duty to his employer, but l am no more his employe, his servant, than he is mine, when, in the course of his duty, he attends to my wants when I go, as a customer, to the shop, the bank, the newspaper office in which he is employed. There we meet as equals transaoting business together, and so, but for the tip, we would meet at the establishment at which I am employed. But he would not be satisfied, he would justly complain if I were to render him only such service as equal, without loss of self-respect, can render to equal. He expects me to be his servant for the time being, and I prefer, for the main- tenance of my self-respect, that the re- | latlon of master and servant shall tenn porarily be established between us. For you lose neither in dignity nor self-re- spect when you strive to be good ser- want to your master, but you lose both dignity and self-respect by servility to your equal. How is this relation to be established otherwise than by the tip? The tip is not wage. But it is the sym bol, the convention of a wage. By it's means all the difficulties and embar-
 rassments that must arise from the i'm possible situation that is created when two free and independent Ameri an citizens are thrown together as restau- rant waiter and restaurant guest are cleared away. Our respective positions are established Our mutual rights and duties are defined. We both are placed at our ease. He enjoys the sensation of being master of a thoroughly trained, capable, devoted respectful servant and men patronize expensive restau- rants largely for the sake of that sen satlon--and, if he is enough of a gentle man to know how to behave himself in the role of master I enjoy serving him as perfectly as I can.
 This is good argument, and probably most people would like to be waited on
 by the man who made it, even if it did cost a tip

STILL SP4NIARDS.

The Spaniards are still Spaniards. The Corespondencia, of Madrid, which is supposed to speak semi officially, complains that the American Peace commissioners insist upon the discus- sion of matters which are not connect ed with the treaty of peace namely eXtradition, commercial and literary conventions, etc. The Spanish govern ment, it says, is unable to yield, and is determined that such matters be dis cussed between the cabinets of Madrid and Washington.' In conclusion, the Correspondence says: "The Americans are seeking to profit by their victory in order to improve their own conditions on all subjects"
 It is rather natural for "the Ameri- cans" to seek to profit by their victory. Probably, however, the Spaniards wouldn't so seek if they had the chance.

ASKING FOR AN EXTRA SESSION

A
 The Sioux City (Iowa) Commercial association has adopted resolutions de- claring that in view of the magnitude of the interests involved, that there may be careful consideration and unhurred deliberation, and that time may be giv- en before the next presidential election to demonstrate by experience the ben efits and advantage of the new laws, d special session should be called to enact comprehensive and enlightened mone- tary legislation. And the Baltimore board of trade Has asked the Mary and delegation in Congress to use its infiu- ence toward persuading President Me Kinley to call an extra session of Con- gress after March 4, 1899, to enact leg islation firmly establishing the gold standard and providing for reforma- ton of the currency system.
 It is probable that many other com- mercial bodies, including, perhaps, the New Haven Chamber of Commerce will ask for an extra session. The Sioux City Commercial association gives some good reasons why there should be such a session.

He, perhaps, was little bored by talk about "Francesca's Book" and took notes of that blue tie of the lecturer of which he was to tell us in his fathers s future biography
 The lecture was good deal about Miss Frances Alexander, that Ameri- can woman who had then spent half her life among the peasants Of Tus- cany, studying their manners, their songs, their legends, their religion Then the lecturer spoke of chlldrens books-their needed grace, their imag- ination, their sweet mission in dealing with peace, dutifulness and innocence Kate Greenaway, he said, he adored, and, catching sight of coy Lord Leigh ton, ne COnSraIuldleu nlll OH AdNii5 So much of the Goth in him that h ecared to show the world the childhood of a goddess.

Fine black chenille finished the cashmere edges and finish ed the jacket revers, which were faced with white satin. The jacket itself was black velvet and was worn over a vest of the cashmere, white satin furnish ing a tucked chemisette and a white chiffon bow supplying neck finish. With it's cuffs to match the revers, this jack ct was an unusual answer to the de- rnand for white and black in combina- tion. In one respect it was like many others-that is, it's fronts were wide open. The highly wrought neck ar engagements heretofore alluded to are the reason for such cuts of jackets.

J. Pope Brown, the president of the Georgia State Agricultural society, has this to say about cotton: q can't see any bright looking prospects from cotton standpoint. Much of our present crop has sold at 31a cents and but little as high as cents That
 means that the cotton farmer is not only without money, but can't pay his debts. Bad fix for honest men, But we have more sirup, peas, potatoes, meat, corn and hay in our section than usual, and if we will live at home next year on what we can make I can't help but feel that we will be a little better off next fall than this The idea of Georgia using 400, ,00O tons of guano per year to make cotton at 4 cents! What fools we mortals be, and I have been one of the biggest in the lot But I will not be next year.
