IN A LONDON HOTEL,
Conveniences and Conccits That Sur.
urixe American Iisitors.

Conveniences and COnccits That Sur
prize American Visitors.
The American visitor to London who
stops att a certain hotel in that city
finds many novelties and convenienees
that are not known here in America,
where hotels are supposed to have
reached the acme of luxury, says the
Pittsburgh Dispatch. 1t has an Amer
lean plan dining-room, but only a
French bill Of fare. 1t has an Indian
room, where an Indian chief in the cos
tune of his country prepares native
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
American to be addressed as "N1r. $780,"
as though he were convict in the pen
itentiary.
On each floor, day and night, are to
be found maid, a valet and waiter,
who are at your service and have free
access to your rooms. When you come
home at night, if you are a man, you
find your clothes pressed and cleaned
and carefully packed away in chest
OF drawers. If you are woman, the
maid attends to frills and furbelows
as though she were hired by you es-
pecially. Guests never bother with
their keys-the maid or valet on the
door takes charge of the key and is
ready at any time to open your door.

Beatty's Organs ana Pianos.

Hon. Daniel f. Beatty,of Washington,
New Jersey, the great Organ and Piano
Manufacturer, is building and shipping
more Organs and Pianos than ever. In
1870 Mr.. Beatty left home a penniless
aplow-b boy. and by his indomitable will
he has worked his way up SO as to sell SO
far. over 100, 900 of Beatty's Organs and
Pianos since 1870. Nothing seems to
dishearten him; obstacles laid in his
way, that would have wrecked an ordi-
nary man forever. he turns to an adver-
tisement and comes out of it brighter
than ever. He was mayor of Washing
ton, New Jersey from 1879 to 1883, five
terms, and recently declined renomi-
nation for the sixth term. His instru-
ments, as is we'll known, are very popn
lar and are to be found III all pa,ts"f
the world. We ARE informed that dur
ing the next ten years he intends to sell
200 600 more of his make; that means a
business OF $40. 900, if We average
them at 500 each. 1t is already the
largest business IF the kim, iu existence.
Write or call npou Daniel f. 3 atty,
Washington, New Jersey. for catalogue.

Excitement In Madrid.
The town is greatly excited by the
serious news from the Philippines and
there is an immense gathering In the
Celle de sevilla. The civil guards on
horseback were called out to preserve
order and all precautions have been
taken. There is much muttering, but
up to the present nothing more serious
has occurred.
The official dispatch does not mem
ton the destruction Of any American
vessel, although 1t says that the United
States squadron finally cast an anchor
in the bay behind the foreign merchant
men.
Result ~ to Americana IN Doubt.
London, May 2.-While it is quite
clear that the Spanish squadron has
suffered crushing defeat, the dis
patches leave unclear the intensely In
teresting question whether the Ameri-
can squadron has suffered material
damage. All news thus far comes
from Spanish sources, but 1t seems evil
dent that Commodore Dewey has not
captured Manila. Unless he is able to
make another attack and capture the
town he will be in an awkward position,
having no base upon which to retire and
to refit. Probably. therefore. the
United States squadron will be obliged
to make for San Francisco, as the en-
trance to Manila bay was heavily mined
with torpedoes.
Dewey's Pluck.
Admiral Dewey displayed great
pluck and daring in making for the
inner harbor. According to private adj
vices received from Madrid, United
States cruisers Olympia, Raleigh and
two other vessels, the names OF which
are not given, entered the harbor. No
dispatches give details as tothe vessels
actually engaged on either side, 1t ap-
pears to be incorrect that the American
ships finally anchored behind the
merchantmen on the east side of the
bay. Itshould be the west side. Proba-
bilities point in the direction of the sec
ond engagement having occurred
through the opanlards trying 70 pre-
vent the landing of the American
wounded.
Don't Set Well.
London, May 2.-Dispatches from
Madrid dated 2:20 a. m. say the city is
tranquil, although the mounted guards
are patrolling all the main streets. At
the theaters, cafes and in front Of the
newspaper offices the people loudly la
mented the unpreparedness of Manila
to resist the American warships, whose
attack had long been expected. The
Madrid@authorities are determined Wig
orously to suppress all street demon
STATIONS.
Calls 1t Complete Spanish Defeat.
Lisbon, May 2.-Reliable news is re-
ceived here that the Spanish fleet was
completely defeated off Cavite.
