Money in Hotels.

Thomas NJ. Hillard has for many
years been connected with Boldt, the
manager Of the Waldorf Astoria. He
is now rich enough to retire and to
live fhenceforth the life Of a country
gentleman. He has been the business
manager of the Waldorf since the ho-
tel was first built, and is well known
TO thousands Of patrons, including a
great many Pittsburgers. He is a
young man still, but he can afford to
leave the busy life of hotel manage
ment and devote the rest OF his life to
the raising of horses and COWS and
pigs and other stock, without caring
whether there are rooms vacant in the
hotel or not. At least, that is his pro-
gram. But odds are laid among his
friends that Mr.. Hillard's face and fig
ure will be in evidence at the Waldorf
Astoria again in about year. Coun-
try life is rather wearing on an active
city temperament. and Mr. Hlllard
may find it too much for him.

Woman Wanted to be Chap
lain,

There was rumor yesterday at the
penitentiary that under the new reg
ime there would be a lady chaplain
and male matron of the female de-
partment, and the story caused a flut-
ter of excitement. The offices of the
administration department was full of
candidates, and those who were "leg-
ging" for them. They sat upon every
available chair and settee and roasted
on the edges of desks and window
sills; buttcnholing every newcomer
who seemed to have any influence
with the managers, and pouncing upon
these dispensers of official pap when
ever they stuck their heads out of the
Office door. Warden Coffin acted as
center rush hustling the applicants in
TO say their little speeches and chasing
them out when they had their inning.
regardless of the danger of rupturlng
managerial buttonholes. The lady
candidate for the chaplaincy was ac-
corded the privilege of addressing the
board, and rumor has it that she made
an eloquent appeal in her own behalf
although the zeal with which repor-
:orial inquisitiyeness was excluded
from the holy of holies precluded the
publication of verbatim report.
Among other points scored, however,
was the announcement of the fact that
the Wisconsin board of managers had
recently appointed lady chaplain.
The male candidates for this Office in
the Ohio institution were far from idle
In fact, they tramped down all the
grass and wore holes in the lnoleum
in their zeal for the spiritual welfare
of the poor convicts. The latter are
for a lady chaplain. to a man, and if
they were allowed to vote the mascu-
line chaplain would be showed under
deeper than the village of Toledo in
che recent blizzard.

Chances Of Peace.

A consultation between the Presi.
dents of the two South African repub-
lies is a promising sign. 1t is good
time to study the future and to study
the grounds that exist for a peaceful
understanding. Men engaged in hos
tilities ought to know exactly wha
they are fighting for and whether they
can not get substantially what they
want without fresh series of battles
Both British and Beers have met with
disappointments in the field. There
have been repetitions of Majuba and
Majuba has also been avenged repeat
edly. Ladysmith and its army were
not captured but the escape was re-
markably narrow. AS for personal
courage the world recognizes an even
balance. To go on with the war for
military glory would be ridiculous
The British Empire should be above
the pursuit of such a shadow. The
Beers are naturally peaceful, indus
hitouo law iol liOuDiCh, uhlCoo III
the case of a few leaders, with Napol-
comic dreams.
1t is a favorable moment, therefore
to pause until each side can state its
wishes and purposes. If any OF the
Beers thought to extend their present
territory they must admit that the
chance of doing so is now extremely
faint. Great Britain has made a
prodigious effort and certainly will be
able to hold all that it had before. AT
the present stage of affairs England
would doubtless offer liberal terms
and all the mere liberal because of the
small size of its adversary. On one
side is total of 100000 brave and
worthy people, on the other the Brit
ish Empire. Defeating the Beers here
after can hardly be called victory.
With the resources behind him Lord
Roberts ought to count upon certain
ties. II England proposes to wipe out
the republics the fact should now be
announced. Both sides, and the world,
are entitled to some knowledge of the
objects Of the war. The combatants
are civilized and fully able to express
themselves through diplomatic chan
nels. An honest definition OF matters
might prevent further bloodshed-
