The report that the head clerk of
Holland House has resigned in order
that he may give his attention to the
management of comfortable fortune
made in Wall street during the past
three years illustrates one of the nos
slbilities of the hotel business that has
enriched other employees besides this
one during the progress of the big bull
movement, says the New York Com
mercial.
One head-waiter employed by a fash
ionable New York hotel made 800, 600
in Wall street by following the advice
of some of the patrons of his hotel who
wanted to help him along. OF course,
the men who directed him belonged to
the very small class of operators whose
knowledge of certain stocks is so inti-
mate that they practically play the
Wall street game with marked cards.
The books of one of the small Wall
street firms that failed a few months
ago showed that several walters en-
ployed in large uptown hotels had
been good customers, and usually sue
cessful ones. Possibly, however, their
information may have been obtained
as surreptitiously as was that of the
butler for one of the wealthiest men in
New York.
This man Is not Spectator in the
Wall street acceptance of the term, but
his fortune of more than ten millions
is largely invested in stocks which, of
course, requires close watching and
quick shifting. He frequently enter
tains in his home, however, men who
are leaders of Wall street movements,
and naturally they talk freely about
the market. Not long ago this man
was surprised by question from his
butler about a certain stock.
What do you know about stocks %
he asked.
Nothing but what I have overheard
at your table," answered the butler.
And have you speculated?"
"A little Bit" answered the butler
proudly-and he displayed his brokers'
last statement showing that he had a
balance of $4,000 which had been
worked up from an initial investment
of 81, 900. The 81 900 represented his en-
tire savings when he began. The mil
lionaire discharged the butler with the
good advice to draw out his money and
take care of il.

M. Magnaud, a Partisan jurist, has
caused a great deal of comment by his
refusal to give judgment according to
the letter of the law. He had before
him recently the case of aprodigal son
whose father desired that he should
be made a ward in chancery M Mag
maud refused to do this and asserted
that the son was only his duty in scat
tering the accumulated wealth among
the people.
When the Shah returned to Persia
after his visit to Paris he once more

pointment of NJ. Poppy. late consul
general and first dragoman of the
Russian Mission at Pekin. The chair
has long been vacant, as Russia, in
spite of her long commercial connec-
ton with China, extending over cen
turtles, was unable to supply a single
savant who was sufficiently acquaint-
ed with the Chinese language. Fol-
some time the few students who took
any interest in the subject had to re-

CHAIRMAN ATKINSON.

1t is a matter of pleasing gratifca-
ton to his friends throughout the state,
as we'll as of satisfaction to those who
have the real interests of Georgia at
heart, that Hon. Spencer r. Atkinson
has been elevated to the craftsmanship
of the Railroad Commission. He is the
right man in the right place.
Without injustice to those who have
held that position in the past. it may
be said that Judge Atkinson is emf
nently qualified to fill it, 1t requires the
judicial temperament and judicial
training, as the Railroad Commission
is the high court before which causes
affecting the sometimes clashing and
divergent interests of the people and
the transportation companies are tried.
In such cases justice should be melted
cut in accordance with the law Of the
land, without the bias that springs
from favor or prejudice to either party.
The new chairman has been judge of
the Superior Court and justice of the
Supreme Court of the state, and has
behind him a record of ability and
high minded regard for duty that au-
gurs we'll for his future conduct Of the
office he now fills.
Judge Atkinson is from Brunswick
and is one of the few men from lower
Georgia who have been honored with a
state office.

It is readily to be seen, therefore,
that 1874 years will not take us back 10
a time when servants never troubled
And probably 1910 years would not do
it, It is refreshing, however. to be able
to refer to the historical fact that at
least one competent servant formerly
existed. 1t was in the household or
Lucullus, something like half CEN
fury before the birth of Christ. Some
of the friends of the famous gourmet
attempted to trap him into serving
them a poor dinner, hence forced him
into a spur -of-the-moment invitation
to them to dine with him. Lucullus
got word to his butler that he would
dine in a certain room "as usual that
day, and when the guests arrived they
found a feast fit for the gods. The
butler knew his business" History
does not record that his kind multi

After the Girls, Visit

"A late diner at one of the Chestnut
street restaurants" says the Philadel-
phia Record, was puzzled by the &C
lions Of the head waiter, who. with
large kitchen knife, went from table
10 table, avoiding only those that were
in use, and scraped off the under edge
or every table. Now, what are Won
doing that for?' asked the customer
Are you probing for stowaways?' NO
answered the man with the big knife:
but If you will feel under the edge of
your table I expect that you will feel
a lump about the size of a marble. >
Inc customer tried the experiment. and
found, instead of one lump, three of
them, and so told the waiter. DO YOU
know what they are?' asked the wait
er. No. Well you might not be-
1eve 1T, but at least every other day
II Is necessary to scrape those Jumps
on at every table. Sometimes we find
as many as twenty of them under the
edges of one table. They are chewing
gum, left there by girls. At least one
girl out of three takes a piece of chew
ing gum from her mouth and sticks it
under the table when she sits down to
luncheon or dinner -

The Coy Phenomenon.

From the Chicago Record Herald.
oh, where are the boy phenomena
OF twenty years ago,
The children who at nine or ten
Knew all there was to know?
] call to mind one of the kind
Who knew the Bible through
I wonder how he's faring now
And what he finds to do?
Oh. where is the boy phenomenon
Who used to multiply
A black boardful of figures in
The twinkling of an eye?
Methinks 7 hear you blandly say
He runs bank somewhere
paid a quarter yesterday
To have him cut my hair.
And there was the boy phenomenon
Who played the clarinet;
He was the wonder of the town
And he is playing yet;
There where the gaudy poster shows
The common throng the way.
He sits before the stage and blows,
Unnoticed, night and day.
I recall the boy nhenomenon
Whom we were fain to hold
In awe for reading Shakespeare's plays
Ere he was eight years old;
1t used to be pronounced a treat
To hear him render Lear
His sign is there. across the street;
He's now an auctioneer.
Oh, great was the boy phenomenon
OF twenty years ago;
He used to throw us in the shade
Us common boys. your know!
Our parents held him up before
Us as a model-but
He's not wonder any more,
His little cheese is cut.

OLD. But EVER NEW.

One of the pressing problems of the
present is that of domestic servants.
Every housewife has tried or is trying
to solve it, and every one who has come
into contact with it has gone to bed
more than once with a headache from
worrying over it. Still it is unsolved.
The demand for good servants is great,
but the supply is infinitesimal in COM
parison There is in the average mind
vague belief that there was once a
good, old time"in which all servants
were satisfactory, and when house
wives could sing tra-la-la-la all the day
long from sheer happiness and lack of
cause to worry about the household
work. In this section of the country
we are apt to date the beginning of
our woes with domestics from the time
of the Civil War. 1t Is very true that
the servant problem has grown wider
and deeper since that time, still it
is none the less a fact, as will be re-
called by many grandmothers, that
even before the war there was much
annoyance, much patience required
and many tears shed. before Lucindy
and Chloe could be taught to perform
their services satisfactorily. After per-
sistent schooling they in time made
fairly satisfactory servants, but it took
lots of work and worry on the part of
mistresses to drill the education into
them. So one must look further back
than the late slavery days in the
South for the period of perfect SER
wants.
How far back is it necessary to go?
One hundred and thirty-four years of
retrospect viii not take us to that time.
In 1857 they were having trouble with
their servants just as we are to-day,
and the people then were talking of
the good old days. Just as some of
us are. In the year mentioned the SER
want problem had become so acute in
England that a Gentleman of the In
ner Temple" wrote and published a
book on the subject. In ii he collated
number of ancient and modern laws
concerning masters and servants. q"
and incidentally permitted himself to
wander into the field of speculation as
TO whittier are we drifting?" At that
time the wages of servants had reach
ed the very remarkable proportion of
es per year, which the author thought
entirely too much and the root of dis
content on the part of many OF the
! domestics. Receiving such large pay,
he argued. the servants could dress in
silks and fine linen. which tended to
make them proud and careless, not to
say saucy. People" he says, were
much better served formerly, when a
maid in a good family had but forty
shillings a year, and wore a stun gown
and a plain round-eared cap" In that
former but elusive golden age the SER

Looking Ahead.

A good story is told by Tit-Bits of
one Of the dignitaries of the Scottish
church. Before he became known to
fame he was minister of remote coun-
try parish, and was not considered d
particularly attractive preacher.
AT his suggestion extensive altera-
lions were made in the transept of. his
church. and these had the effect of
sweeping away considerable seating &C
commodation.
One day after the alterations had
been effected, he visited the church to
see how it looked.
What do you think of the improve
ments, John?" he asked the beadle

disdain; they're no improvements at

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Washington Star (Rep.) says:
Annexation is still a favorite topic
with many people in Cuba and with
some in the United States. The sug-
gestion has a certain responsiveness.
But the matter is in Cuba's hands alb
solutely. She must take the initiative
in any steps leading in that direction.
To use a homely phras>, she might go
further and do a mighty sight worse
The people of the island would enjoy
as much liberty under the stars and
stripes as under their own flag, and
as American territory the island would
shortly become rich almost beyond
comparison"
The Baltimore American (Rep.)
says: The charge of cowardice and
of undue excitement in battle will
never hold against the man who could
stop to order Christian burial for the
sailor shot down at his side, and to
recognize duty bravely done by re-
spect for the body that had held an
humble hero's soul Only a brave man
and a true man would stop at such a
moment to pay such a tribute"
The Pttsburg Dispatch (Rep.) says
of the Schley case: 1.-The inquiry has
developed into an encomium for the
applicant If 1t did involve so seri-
Gus a thing as the good name of the
navy its onesidedness would render the
prosecution ridiculous. The hearings
will soon end as we'll they may, moth
ing having been proved against the
gallant senior Rear Admiral, and al
most everything having been proved
in his favor"
The Cincinnati Enquirer (Dem.)
says: Mr. Low is not a betting man.
To take material chances on the cleo
ton would be a bad example for the
students who have beeR under his
direction, and who may have him at
their head again after election This
is a great advantage. Mr.. Low doesn't
have 70 put up or shut up"
