FOR STEAMER SERVANTS.
Tips for These Must he Added to the
Expenfe Accounts of Visitors
TO Paris Next mn

to Paris Next summer.
The large number Of persons with
moderate means who intend to visit
the Paris exposition during the coming
summer will have an important item to
add to their expenses, which is not
included in the programmes of the
tourist agencies, and that is the stew
ards fees on the Atlantic steamers.
These tips have grown SO during the
the last ten Years of heavy Atlantic
travel that a regular tariff has been
fixed and recognized by passengers,
Bedroom steward. $3.50; saloon waiter,
extra $3.50; librarian, 80 cents. bath
attendant, 81; smoking room, 81; deck
steward, 81; and the boots, 80 cents,
making an extra outlay Of $3.50 on
each passenger, which is the same as
one would give on Il thirty days yoya-
sc 10 Australia.
The stewards on ali ines get, on an
average, SIG per month, out of which
they have to pay for uniform, washing
and support their wives and families.
On some boats, which are only three
days IN port, the bedroom steward has
TO pay a man 50 TO scrub out his rooms,
otherwise he would not have them
ready in time.
A saloon waiter gets eight seats at
table, which net him $40 each way. A
cabin steward has sixteen rooms,
which. with two passengers in d room,
should produce $50 each trip.
On the Atlantic boats they will not
accept less than the usual tip, and will
even 20 so far as to follow n passen-
ger on the pier and demand IL as u
right.
The companies cannot stop it. they
say. LIZ they did the men would not
go on their ships, and IL they gave
more pay the fees would be looked for
just the same.-New York Journal.

THE BUGABoo OF IMPERIALISM

A%AA
The North Carolina Democratic
platform contains this mysterious
sentence:
I'VE are in favor Of peaceful COM
mercial expansion but denounce i'm
perialism and milltarism."
Can any Tar Heel Bryanite make
clear to the world what the term Mil
itarism" means ds applied to these
United States? Does it near the use
of a sufficient force to quell the insur-
rection il the Philippines? If it does,
why do the North Carolina Democrats
oppose it? II it means the p~reposter-
Gus bugbear Of a vast standing army
TO be used in destroying the liberty of
the people, cracking the Liberty Bell
and putting a muzz,e on free speech,
why, all we have to say is that there
is moonshine whiskey as well as moon
shine in the North Carolina Democrat
ic platform.
And here is our old friend "imper-
ialism," too. Why are the Tar Heelers
crashing their teeth at Imperialism ?"
Is anybody trying to make himself
Emperor of the United States? Istany
body frying to set up imperial state
or authority; the system of imperial
government" No such person is visi-
BILE in these ATTITUDES. What, then, is
North Carolina driving at? Does
the Philippines? II it does, the talk
imperialism" mean the annexation of
about peaceful commercial expan-
sion" is wind and froth. The Ameri-
can troops now engaged in restoring
ppane in tho phi1innineS are working
for peaceful commercial expansion, the
only enemies of which are the Aguin-
aldoists and A~guinaldo's friends in this
country, especially the Democratic
party. New York Sun.

CUBANS BETTER SATISFIED.
Recent Events Inspire Confidence in
President MckinIey's Purposes.

A dispatch from Havana yesterday says:
The newly appointed cabinet will hold its
first meeting tomorrow, when the following
secretaries will meet Gen. Wood:
Secretary of state Of government-Senor
Diego Tamayo.
Secretary of finance-Senor Jose Enrique
Varona.
Secretary of justice-Senor Luis Estevez
Secretary of public works-Senor Jose
Ramon Villalon.
Secretary of education-Senor Juan Her
nandez Barretro.
Secretary Of agriculture, industry and
commerce-Senor Rus Rivera.
One of the secretaries, who displayed the
customary reticence of the best class of
Cubans in respect Of giving their names for
publication in connection with interviews.
made the following statement to the CORE
spondent of the Associated Press today;
"A wonderful change seems to have come
over the Cuban people during the last few
weeks 1t would have been impossible, on
December /, to have aroused the enthusi-
asm which was displayed last night during
the playing of Il ne Star Spangled Ban
ner' Such cheers as were given for Presi-
dent Mckinley while the procession was
passing through the streets could not have
been raised for him or for any other Amer
lean month or 50 ago. The change, in my
opinion, is due to a disappearance of that
distrustful feeling, which, during the greater
part of last year. had been gradually grow
ing among the Cuban people.
President Mckinley's message to Con-
gress was the first light the Cubans had
seen for long time. 1t came like the sun
after days of bad weather and gloom. Then
followed the appointment of Gen. Wood,
whom the Cubans have always admired in
view of what he did in Santiago, the most
difficult province to rule in the island.
Now, since his published remarks on vari-
Gus occasions, and in consideration of the
manner in which he has already taken hold
of affairs, the Cubans are not only satisfied
with him, but are beginning to love him.
in summoning a conference of represent
tative Cubans to meet him, Cen Wood dis
plays true craftsmanship. His step shows
that, though there are only six cabinet ap-
pointments, the governor general desires
prominent Cubans to express their views
as TO future administration, intending, SO
far their suggestions are practical, to
carry these out, and also intending that
those who attend the conference should
carry back to their respective provinces a
good working idea of Gen. Wood and the
cabinet, and be able to answer questions, to
dispel fears and doubts. and to give assur-
ances to the people of the absolute good
faith of the United States regarding Cuba

A Funny Shoplifting Story.


A shop thief was captured recently at
the Bon Marche in circumstances that in
all probability are unique. One of the prf-
vate detectives In the pay of the establish
ment noticed man who with the most
barefaced effrontery, was appropriating ar
ticles of every description. The individual,
indeed, seemed to make little or no at
tempt to keep his operations secret; he
simply walked from counter to counter
and filled his pockets with whatever at
ness of the mans proceedings there was
nothing to be done but have him arrested,
and he was given into custody. His indig-
ration was extreme. He protested that it
was most unjust that he should be inter-
fered with in this way when other per-
sons who were behaving in exactly the
same manner were left unmolested, and
he pointed to stout gentleman of most
respectable appearance who he asserted
had been laying his hands on all sorts of
goods without resorting to the formality of
paying for them. The policeman to whom
he had been given in charge was accustom-
ed to listening to unconviucing explana-
tons, and took his prisoner to the station
A few minutes later the stout gentleman
also in the care of a policeman, arrived at
the same destination. The detective, whose
curiosity had been aroused, had watched
the parsonage, and had found it to be true
that he was perpetrating theft after theft
with the utmost deXterity. After a short
investigation he was recognized to be an
expert and notorious shoplifter, whereas
the prisoner first arrested proved to be a
lunatfc but recently discharged from an
asylum, whose mania took the form of
initiating any person whose actions might
happen to strike him. The professional
thief was beside himself with rage at what
he described as the bad luck of getting
into trouble through the vagaries of a
mailman

BLACKBURN FOR SENATOR
Practically Settled by the Democratic Caucus
at Frankfort.
The GOebelftes in Control Senator
Harold Claimed He Was
Offered a Brfbe.

A dispatch from Frankfort, KY, last
night says: All doubt as to the ability of
the Goebel democrats TO organize both
houses of the legislature was dispelled by
the attendance in the democratic caucus
tonight Senator Goebel was nominated for
president pro TEN. of the senate, and the
entire Goebel slate went through. IN the
house caucus all of the fifty-eight demo-
Gratis answered to roll call and participated.
In the senate four democrats remained out
They were Senators Alexander, Hays, Gill
lespie and Roberts. Senator Hill was sick
and absent, but is not classed with the
dissenters.
In the senate caucus Senator Harold Gre
ated sensation by making an alleged ex-
pose of the anti-Goebei leaders, declaring
that he had been approached by J. H
Whallen of Louisville and paid 81 500 to re-
man out of the caucus The money, he
said, had been placed in a box with the
Louisville Trust Company, the key to which
he passed up to Senator Goebel, who was
presiding over the caucus, ending his
speech by declaring that he had entered
INTO the deal for the purpose of exposing
Whaiien, and further that there was not
money enough in the world to make him
disloyal to his party and his state.
Attorneys for Goebel and other contest
today served notices upon the republican
contestees to take dispositions to be used as
evidence In the pending contest cases and
naming their witnesses. The list of wit
nesses includes long array of prominent
men IN both the republican and anti-GOebel
democratic parties, like Gov. Bradley, Sem
ator Deboe. Gen. Basil w. Duke John H
Whallen and others
The republicans decided tonight to hold a
conference tomorrow and nominate q
straight republican slate of candidate s
1hls action was taken when It became an

night does not indicate anything as to the

that several others would have stayed out
but for this agreement They also claim
that the ant-Goebel men were brought into
the house caucus by like trade.
South Trimble of Franklin county was
nominated for speaker of the house on the
thirteenth ballot Cantril of Scott was
and Trimbles nomination was therefore
pleasing to the element which supported p.

caucus is for the sole purpose of norni-
mating candidate for United States sena-
tor. OF course Blackburn will be the only

The calling of a caucus for senator at this
early date was move on the part of the
Goebel leaders to put an end to the stories

From the New York Tribune
THE life of a locomotive engineer is a
most dangerous one" said Allen Runkle of
Philadelphia recently at the Fifth Avenue
Hotel, land some Of their escapes are little
short of miraculous. A friend of mine, who
is now prosperous business man. but who
started life as a fireman and later became
an engineer, owes his life to a cup of water
or rather the desire for one. He was at
the time an engineer, and, wanting A drink
of water, stepped from his seat to the wa
ter can on the tender 10 get it. He was
just raising the can TO his lips when there
was a terrific crash, the entire side of the
cab was torn off and the air filled with fy-
ing pieces of wood and iron. Luckily
neither he nor the fireman was seriously
injured, and they, with the aid of the
trains crew. manag ed to bring the train to
stop without further harm. They then
found that the connecting rod on the right
hand side had broken in two and the two
loose ends flying around with terrific force
had wrecked everything with which they
came In contact. The right-hand side of
the cab was torn to smithereens, and as the
engineers seat was directly above the
loose end of the connecting rod attached to
the rear driving wheel, had my friend not
had that lucky inspiration to take drink
he would beyond question have either been
killed outright or else possibly so badly
mangled as to make death by comparison
seem preferable
