HOTEL LOAF FERS
Encouraged By the System Pre-.
vaillng Here.
Managers Tolerate "sitters" Because
They Are Good Ads" "-Expens-
i've Nuisances.

American hotels encourage loafers.
Doing so is inevitable to the system on
which they are run. So long as our
hostelries remain American, the loafer
will camp there. There is no specific
for MIN. Any first-class hotel manager
in the country would give $1,000 year
to be rid of him and would throw in a
case of wine on the side.
1t would be a good bargain for the
manager. He would save wear and tear
on his nervous system, would live
longer, more happily and would make
more money But "wouldY and can"
are different words. The loafer is here
to stay, and the manager must submit,
and must reckon with him in all hotel
arrangements and calculations.
Loafers naturally seek the best, and
the number of buns there are about is
to some extent a gauge of the general
merits of an American hotel-that is,
one which is not family resort, Eng
lish and exclusive.
APT TO BE A CRANK.
Their presence in the corridors, ro-
tundas and waiting rooms gives an
air of prosperity to the place which is

BIZ MAN WHO HAS BEEN THERE.
Getting to the Klondike iseasy if you
start at the right time Getting to the
north pole is another matter because
the weather is never very good at the
pole. But at certain seasons Alaska is
soft and beautiful and those who have
for years gone there on an annual sum-
nfer pleasure trip testify that they never
found anything better
The time to go is in our summer This
begins the middle of June and lasts
through June, July and August. During
this time it is summer in Alaska as well
as here.
But in making the start, you must re-
member that you must leave your home
long before the first of June or you will
not get there in time. The trip, if you
go from the California coast, will take
you surely twenty days, and then there
is another journey of two weeks before
you strike the gold country.
To be sure, Alaska is all of gold for
nation, and consequently all gold, but
the near by claims are all staked out
and taken, and now you must travel
further before you reach undeveloped,
unowned goldfelds
If | were going to take the trip again
I should start now. The first of March
would see me well on my way, and by
the middle of April / should expect to
be pretty near the Yukon. During May
l Should be stalking out and building
and when the freshets of June came l
should stand ready with my tools to
catch the first wash of gold through the
goldLaden rivers. | should also be get
ting ready for the melting of the snow
inland where the great nuggets lie un-
seen, but waiting for me.
PLEASANT ENOUGH.
It is foolish to think that Alaska is all
hardship. If you go in March and re-
turn in September, giving yourself only
two months in the Klondike, you escape
all the rough weather and can perhaps
piclIup enough to last you all the year
But this is chance. Gold must be worked
for by the sweat of the brow and the
roughening of the hands in Alaska, as
well as here, and you can't walk in and
come out with your hands full There
are too many there before you.
The question was asked of steam
ship agent if there was gold enough in
Worcester morning daily spy., 1898-02-27

| owner of which was employed in. the
postoffice, and, unfortunately for them,
in the registered letter department. so
that every month he triumphantly
showed them the letter from the "eon-
gregation," opened it himself, and sub
tracted twenty-four shillings for the
rent. That bill, at least, was regularly
and punctually paid. The landlady kept
a sharp eye on them to be sure that no
cooking went on to spoil her precious
furniture. To delude her, and at the
same time prepare their dinner, which
in days of abundance consisted of three
eggs, usually fried, ONE for each. they
put spirit lamp, with small frying
pan, on the piano. When the eggs began
to fry, the cousin, who was also the
cook, whispered, play! play, nowr and
Puccini on foot before the piano, I'M
proVised all kinds of nonsense. The
louder the noise of the frying, the louder
he played, ceasing abruptly when the
eggs were done.
Puccini's first opera; lie Vilh,' had
the same fate in 1888 as that of Verdi. 1t
was Judged by the conservatoire I'M
worthy of consideration. Five months
later ''Le Villi," given in Milan, had
tremendous success. Then came "Ed-
gar" then 'Manon," then the "Bo-
heme." "And then, and them" asked
the maestro himself. " La ToSca' will
come next. I am now working on it,
and it will certainly be finished this
year. although it is a most complicated
work; the drama is taken from that of
Sardou, reduced to the libretto by Luigi
Illica and Giuseppe Giacosa, the sweet
poet of The Game of Chess 1t will be
produced at the Opera Comique in Paris
or in Rome in the first months of 1899,
possibly on Feb. l, date for which I
have a weakness"
"Ah! yes, and why?''
ut is a question of remembrance.
'Manon Lescaut' was first given ON Feb
ruary l., 1898, the 'Boheme' on February
1, 1885, and so I wish La Tosca' to be
heard for the first time on the same date
in 1S99'
Worcester morning daily spy., 1898-02-27

The favorite trip for those going to
Alaska is the water route from St
Michaels to Circle City. This takes
about ten days and one travels over
about $50 miles.
| But this water route right to the
heart of the nugget country is possible
only for ten weeks Of the year The
Yukon is the coolest river known to
commerce, and from September it is
frozen over. 1t thaws out in June, and
then for a few weeks it is ideal Its
basin is filled with clear, fresh water
made by the melting of the icebergs and
snowdrifts in the hills, and through this
swollen stream experimenters can easily
sail
After the middle of August the Yukon
gradually shrinks, until the first of Sep
tember it is dry in places and you hear
of vessels getting stuck in its bed. Then
the ice begins to form, and the unhappy
vessel that has ventured up the river is
held in the ice until spring, while it's
crew is fortunate if rescued.
The Yukon trip is the cheapest, and
the most comfortable way of going, but
if you get to ST. Michaels later than
August /, your chances are pretty poor
Remember that to get to the Yukon
steamers you must travel from Seattle
for fifteen days on a Seattle steamer,
and thus you lose two weeks time, for
which you must allow.
THE OVERLAND ROUTE.
This is one chosen by persons who go
to the Yukon in March, before the river
is open, and who want to be on hand
when the warm weather arrives.
To travel overland you follow we'll
beaten routes, vet so wild and snow
covered that they seem as if fresh from
natures hand.
At Juneau you take steamer up the
Dyea river. This is the pleasantest part
of the journey. The trip up to Dyea
takes about ten hours, and you find
yourself in a very active little settle
ment. Here you can purchase nearly
everything you want. You can buy pro-
visions, furs and sled, and with these
you start to travel through Dyea can
yon. This is the hardest part of the trip,
for, though you pass only about five
miles Of ascent and as many more of de-
scent, you find you have the struggle of
your life. Through the waters of the
canyon you can get in about day; but
then you begin to toll upward, and you
suddenly find that you must ask assist
ance of the Indians or give up. These
worthy fellows have either been pre-
viously hired by you or are waiting
