A oUEER HOTEL.

'I ran across one of the queerest ho-
tells in the world not long ago" said
drummer just in from a trip. Il
don't care to advertise the establish
ment gratuitously, so suffice it to say,
it's situated in a city made by nearly
all travelling men out of New Or
leans, and is run by an eccentric old
chap who has named his rooms after
states, instead of giving them num-
bers. The effect is somewhat start
ling. I went there first to inquire for
friend. Eyes, he's in Maine replied
the clerk, when l mentioned the name.
But he isn't in Maine, l protested,
for I happen to know he's right here
in this hotel Then he explained
While | was standing there waiting,
the side talk at the desk was enough
to make a man crazy. Gent in Mas
sachusets is kicking, sir said bell
boy: Gains dat feller in Utah is all
de time piayin' de 'cordian at nights
Put him in MOntana,' replied the
clerk No towels in North Dakota,
said a chambermaid, and that fat
man in Florida wants to be changed
to Vermont. My friend came down
/ looking very rocky. He said he'd been
sitting in little poker game in Rhode
Island the night before and woke up
in California. Didn't know how the
dickens he got there. The place inter-
ested me, and / could hardly tear my
self away. My friend assured me that
It was run strictly according to state
traditions. He was in Maine at first,
but they refused to send any beer to
his room on account of the prohibi-
tion law, so he had them change him
across the hall to Kentucky, and now
he likes It so we'll he has concluded to
stay indefinitely. Chicago Times

m the money he needs. he can do al
most anything that can be done by hu-
man brains and hands. Mr.. Speak
nan seems to travelon the assumption
that the water plant belongs to the
water Commission, and that the
money for its maintenance ccmas out
Of the pockets Of those commissioners.
He seems to forget that II Is a public
department, supported solely BY a par
ticular class Of our citizens, and that
class one OF the most deserving OF pro
lection from men who forget that a
public office Is a public trust, and who
tax the consumers OF water 10 obtain
money which they do not need and
cannot use for departmental work.
Senator Py.es bin provides for a cut
OF 40 per cent in the present water
rates? Does any water consumer who
is not dodging his tax under the gem
eral levy object TO that? If he does,
his relatives had better have a trustee
or guardian appointed for him.
That is what the bill provides, and
all THAT It provides With that 40 per
cent. cut it will take from City Coun-
eli 100000 which the water consumers
alone are now paying, and the tax rate
under the genera. levy win be raised
hfteen cents ON the hundred DOLLARS
THAT tax VIII fall equally upon con-
sumner and nOn-conlNImer; each wib
pay his proportionate share OF the
money this collected; the Harlan and
Hollingsworth Company the Charles
Warner Company, the Pusey and Jones
Company the Joseph Bancroft Sons
and Company, and the owners Of va
can't lots with be called upon to pay
taxes which, under the present system,
the consumers of water are now pay
ing for them out Of the $4,000 Of water
taxes which the Board or Water Com
missioners turned over TO City Council
In December, and which amount lt will
turn over to City Council this year
Senator Py,es bin is aimed to correct
this abuse, and if the water consumer
VIII think ii ever for himself, he viii
see how grossly he has been imposed
upon for the sake of people who are
better able to pay their fair share OF
taxes than are those who are now pay
ing such taxes for them out Of thi.
water surplus which is taken for gen
eral purposes.
These are the points we would like
to have Allen Speal1man take up anC
discuss. We invite him to take th'
assessment OF the Harlan and Hol
iingsworth Company, the Pusey anS
Jones Company, the Jackson an,
sharp Company, the Joseph Bancroft
Sons and Company and tha Char,e.
Warner Company; make the rate $15,
on the 800 instead of $l.40 Then talk
their water bills and cut them 40 pc
lcent. After this lis done, subtract ON
from the other, and he win fnd ou
just how much OF the taxes Of thes
corporations the water consumers hav
been paying, under this scheme Of talk
ing water consumers money ans
throwing II into the general fund. Tn
read water consumers OF the city o
Wilmington want the Pyle bill u
pass.
