according To their several ways.
One of the smoothest schemes for
working "a restaurant man Is done this
way: The CRATER comes in when
everyone is busy and eats five or ten
cents worth of food. The waiter gives
him a check When he gets ready to
go out he calls for another. meanwhile
hiding the first one. The waiter
ponders for a moment. concludes that
he has forgotten To check up the Gus
TONER and fips out another check
CRATER goes to the desk and pays one
one i'm his possession.
The next day he comes i'm and
orders up good square meal. He
gets his check. fifty or sixty cents. and
puts il i'm his pocket. But H. does not
pay it. oh. no. He takes the small
one that he got the previous day and
pays it, This game is smooth and
dangerous because in the rush neither
the waiter nor the cashier has any way
to take tumble to the state of
affairs
Il got next to this game by accident.
One day I was circulating around
among the customers. | made a men

presenting Il ten cent check. went
back TO the place. counted up again.
and made him pay the full amount.
The waiter declared that he had
charged the man correctly and his
checks proved his statement. But
there was one missing when We closed
that night. Then | was next.
Il am waiting for that man to come
in and try to work us again. Their
will be- an explosion. He lives here i'm
town but he never eats here now. Per
haps he has taken a tumble. But
never mind. Some restaurant man will
catch him some day.
Buns and trampS rarely ever
bother US. They work private houses

Now and then some fellow gets

Italian emigrants to the United States the Under
Secretary Of State. Signor Bartelli, said that in
creased dividends and advantages American
trade would naturally result from the C0mbina-
tiou. But il needless to borrow alarm re
garding a arbitrary increase of rates As to cmi-
grants if the combination desired to carry them
il would have to secure the necessary license and
10 the emigrant rates. which the Italian
Government has the power TO limit.
The Secretary also said he thought Hmigrants
would continue to use the present steamship lines
He did not believe the United States likely to
restrict the travelling of emigrants to American
ships. The government Of Italy. however. was
closely watching the combination. and. II neces-
Sary. il would fail to all the means at its
disposal to protect national interests.

MORGAN AND THE SPANISH LINE.

REPORT THAT THE FINANCIER is TO VISIT
SPAIN.
Madrid May LIT is reported here that ).
Pierpont Morgan is coming to Spain in order 10
negotiate for the entry of the Spanish Trans
atlantic Company into the Atlantic shipping
combiu3s ton. Officials of the Transatlantic
Company. however. said that they have not yet
received proposals on the subject, but they
would not reject the idea of discussing the mat
ter if Mr.. Morgan comes.
The company is subsidized by the Spanish
Government. and, in view of the present condI-
tion Of the treasury il would gladly cancel the
arrangement. Indeed, the question of its can
collation. has already been warmly debated IN
the Chamber Of Deputies. but the subsidy was
finally continued. owing 10 patriotic motives.
The same argument, perhaps, may impede the
reported negotiations cf Mr.. Morgan, as the
soreness wniCn still exists here against the
United States NAV he important factor in the
matter.
