HOTEL SERVANTS ARE HONEST.
They Are Often Accused Of Stealing
but Are Rarely Guilty.

"a curious thing happened here to-
day." said the head clerk at one Of the
leading hotels In New Orleans to a
Times Democrat man. "About month
ago a gentleman and his wife. from
Milwaukee, spent couple Of days in
the house, and on leaving the lady
missed a valuable ring. She was posi-
tive she left 1t on the dresser and equal
IL positive it had been stolen by one of
the servants. We set an investigation
on foot and promised to forward the
RUG If found. A little later the hus-
band wrote to inquire whether the
search had been successful, and when
we replied in the negative he notified us
that he proposed to sue the hotel. He
claimed we had shown great negligence
in not arresting suspected emplOye,
and his comments We're bitter In the
extreme. That was two weeks ago.
"Now here Is the sequel in the shape
Of third letter that arrived this MORN
ing. He says that he and his wife
reached home a few days ago and In
unpacking the luggage found the ring
in one of the trunks, and he is manly
enough to add very handsome apol-
ogy for his hasty conclusions. Strange
to say, that Is the first time in the his
tory of the house that any guest has
frankly admitted such blunder after
taking his departure, and plumbers Of
that kind are Of almost weekly occur
renee.
ut is the commonest thing in the
world at all hotels for persons to 60
away declaring that they have been
robbed by the help. We know the miss
ing article subsequently turned up, be-
cause the subject is never referred to
during later visits, but in the mean
while a score or so Of humble. but hon.
est and Woodworking people. have been
placed under suspicion that is wholly
unwarranted and unjust. That Is a
point the average traveller doesn't seem
to consider. Hotel chambermaids are
continually returning valuables which
they find In rooms. Dishonesty among
their Is so rare as to be almost un-
known"

An Arctic Bill Of Fare.

The Arctic region Is no place for cpl
cures. The men who explored Franz
Josef Land under the command Of F..
G. Jackson We're by no means dainty in
their tastes. but their leader tells us.
In his diary, that during the long VIM
tiers. when the birds had migrated to
the south, monotonous was not the
word to describe the bill Of fare.
We are none Of us in love with wal
rus meat. 1t is very tough. coarse and
dark in color, and has distinct flavor
of iodine. Every day l am having all
the blood Of the animals killed kept
and frozen. Every day pound or so
Of the frozen blood Is Clipped out with
an axe and added to our soup. The fat
of the walrus we find peculiarly un-
pleasant.

or bear, cooked a rArctic, before a

marks.

Lost Child OF the Niiamis.

In l11O. when mere child, Frances
Slocum was stolen from her parents by
a rowing Indian band at Wilkesbarre,
Pa. She moved West with the ebbing
tide Of Indians and was finally adopted
by chief Of the Miamis. Her parents
searched far and near for their miss
ing child. but were unable to locate her
until she had been adopted by the
Miami tribe, and when overtures were
made for her return she declared that
the life In the Indian camp had such a
fascination for her that she had no de-
sire to return to civilization. She was
extremely popular among the members
OF the tribe, and the village southwest
Of Wabash, Ind. where she made her
home was known as the white wom-
ans" village. As she grew to woman
hood. adopting the savage customs, at
tire and language, she married She-pan-
can-nah. meaning the Deaf Man. the
chief Of the Usage village. and by him
had four children, two sons and two
daughters. She accompanied her hus.
band to the Usage village and after
ward to the Deaf Mans village, and
lived there long after the white man
had invaded the wilderness and begun
to clear up the dense forests.
Superintendent died in 1888. and In
1S47. fourteen years after. she died at
the age Of 50. loved and respected by
whites and Indians alike. Frances Slo-

We use in our manufactures a con-

CIGARS FROM THE PHILIPPINES.
Cheat Grades Are Being Brought Here

Cheap Grade. Are Being Brought Here
by Returning soldiers.
Time was. before the dusSy little
Cubans began their last efforts to
throw Off the Spanish yoke. that Ha'
yana cigar with Manila wrapper was
one of the choicest weeds that an en-
ousite could place between his lips IN
the way of smoker. AS Havana NIL
ers became scarce, owing to the insur'
rection, other tobacco was substituted
for your "15-centers" and the Manila
wrappers also went to the boards to a
large extent.
Then Gen. Charles King came back
from Manila with private stock OF
Manila-made cigars, pure and undehl-
ed. They were done up each in its
suit Of shining tin foil to preserve the
moisture. Gen. King extolled their
virtues, and passed them around
among his friends. They did not like
the flavor at the start. but the cigars
had a faculty Of growing into favor,
@, en- after Gen. King had given out
the information that they were '""-cent-
ers" away over there in Manila. Now
the Information comes from Dresden
that the German smokers are getting
up next to the pure Manilas, and that
they are sold in that city for G pfen-
nigs, or about ~ cents each.
When Gen. Kings attention was call
ed to the price at which the Manila ci-
CARS were selling in Dresden he en-
pressed no surprise. II wrote letter
to the Sentinel In which ! stated that
good cigars In Manila sold at cent
EACH" said Gen. King. II can con-
ceive how they can be sold at Dresden
for ~ cents each. Notwithstanding
the cost of transportation and the fact
that the manufacturer has to make his
profit. For 2h cents l obtained as
good a cigar as l care to smoke; as
good, in my opinion. as the 15-cent ci-
gar here In Milwaukee. You may not
be able to detect the delicate flavor Of
the Vuelta Avajo Of Cuba In 1t. but
you are getting an honest, well-made
and unauthorized weed.
"The army officers at first did not
take kindly to the Manila cigars, but
they soon grew to like them. The only
reason we see so little Of the Manila
cigars in this country Is that 1t costs
just as much to import cheap Ma
Mia cigar as 1t does to import the more
expensive Havanas. the customs du-
ties being levied by the pounds and
not by the cost price Of the article.
In this way 2-cent Manila becomes
a 15-cent cigar when 1t reaches New
York or Chicago or Milwaukee and
people will probably prefer good Key
West for some time to come."-Mil-
waukee Sentinel.

all were successful, the clover being
especially vigorous, measuring over
two feet high.
Alaska is prominently a land Of
small fruits and berries. The flavor Of
most Of the native berries is pronounc.
ed to be so excellent that 1t is said they
are worthy Of Introduction into the
States.
Cattle were introduced in Alaska
long ago by the Russians In their vari.
GUS settlements. and, according to re.
ports. they always did we'll. Professor
Georgeson reports THAT the cattle now

coast thrive and appear to have be.

The soils Of Alaska are largely ~
