The Mills Hotel, in New York, whose dis
tinguishing feature is that of prices so mod
crate that men working for small wages
may be accommodated there, has been in
operation for one year. 1t is a well-built
hotel, with all modern conveniences, all the
comforts, though not all the luxuries Of the
higher-priced houses, and d table where
well-cooked food is we'll served 1t was an
experiment on Mr.. Mills's part. He believed
that hotel could be run on this plan, not
as a charity, which he did not contem-
plate, save indirectly, but as q profitable
business venture. He was scoffed at by men
who thought they knew all about hotel
management and possibilities, and his
scheme pronounced impracticable. Now, at
the end of the first year, his manager an
nounces that, after providing for deprecia-
ton and requirements the years business
leaves a sum equal to per cent. upon the
investment. It is doubtful if the more pre-
tentious establishments can make a better
financial showing. The announcement is
made for the benefit of those who feel an
interest in the subject or who contemplate
similar enterprises. No doubt the example
set will be followed and other hotels be built
to suit the needs of the small-salaried class.
One advantage of such a hotel over the
more expensive ones is that tits sure never to
lack patrons, people of small incomes be-
ing always more numerous than the three
or five-dollar-a-day class. It is cleanliness
substantial food privacy and independence
that the average man wants. whatever his
income, and not decorative effects and the
things commonly called luxuries. One of the
chief drawbacks to a small salary is the
difficulty of securing these things. Any man
who undertakes to provide them at low
rates will be patronized. Low prices at
hotels and boarding houses have long been
synonymous with the cheap and nasty. In
proving that they may mean comfort and
attractiveness as well, Mr.. Mills has opened
the way for a needed reform.

One of the nuisances of which many peo-
pie complain is the leaving of circulars and
various kinds of printed matter at doors.
If it occurred once in while no one would
care, but the days are rare when a half
dozen circulars are not pushed under the
doors. They are an annoyance, because not
one person in five would read them, while
they make unnecessary litter to blow about
yards or in the streets. AS a means of adj
vertising, such circulars represent money
thrown away.

It looks as if the County Commissioners
were not altogether blameless in the Poor
Farm matter. There must at least have
been great carelessness in approving Super
sntendent Meyers acquisitions for supplies.
They knew the number of inmates, and
should have had an approximate idea Of
their needs. so that a demand for an un-
usual stock of dry goods. boots, Shoes
lamps. etc. would have aroused suspicion
at once Meyer undoubtedly saw his OPP
portunity in loose methods before he ven
tured on the first peculation.

The superintendent of the poor farm will
be denounced. and he should be. Still he
furnishes an illustration of quite prevalent
sentiment, namely that it is proper to get
what one can out of the public treasury. 1t
is not probable that he would take dollar
worth OF goods from private individual.
but when it comes to the public he evidently
saw no wrong in taking what he could get.
However. he is not the only man who has

another for public True. he was grossly

1t appears that while the Spanish regu-
lars in Havana treat all Americans with
consideration, the volunteers of the Span
fish army. who are resident and mostly ma
tives of Cuba, assume a very hostile and
threatening attitude. 1t may be different
when we have an army there, but there is
reason to believe that these men who are
to remain will be one of the elements
which will interfere with the work of es-
tablishing peace on the island.

A former judge in this city went to a
neighboring county and held court fifteen
minutes, returning the same day. He
charged three days pay while he was draw
ing a salary for one days work, and he
charged mileage while riding on a pass. His
method of getting the public money was less
gross and less dangerous than that of the
superintendent of the poor farm, but it was
a public offense in the same sense.

The fact that Emperor William gave up
