Wanted to Build Cotton Mill.

w. c. Cantrell. travelling freight
agent of the Santa Fe road, headquar-

yesterday. Mr.. Cantrell stated that
he was in communication with some
Boston cotton mill men, who were
desirous of putting in n cotton mill
at some point on the Santa Fe where
there was great deal of the fleecy
staple marketed. They wished, too,
to have the people in the town where
the mill was located to take stock
in the enterprise. Mr.. Cantrell was
confronted at present with the land
proposition; that our people would
like first to know what they would
have to pay for their land; that if
he could just hold these people off a
month or SO, until our land was ap-
praised, no doubt they would readily
take hold of such an enterprise and
subscribe literally toward it.

I LIVING IN LONDON.
ft II Not . Good Place For Man of
Small Income.

1t II Not q Good Place For q Man Of
Small Income.
Z An American who in the classical
language Of his country is at present
located in London wants to know
whether any city in the world is quite
90 niggardlys as our town. He has
been going the round of the London
restaurants and has encountered in the
management of them a spirit which
distresses him. 'There is, to begin
WITH" he says, "a charge Of from two
pence to sixpence for guarding your
hat and coat in the cloakroom, and a
tip in addition is expected. You want
to wash your shands-another twopence
or another sixpence and another tip.
You take up the menu, and, behold,
there is an intimation that a charge of
sthreepence each person will be made
under the guise Of table money The
charge varies according to the nature
Of the place. Threepence is the lowest
and si1pence perhaps the average. AT
great many restaurants it is shil-
ling and in at least two that I have Wis
tied is. Cd. The only difference is
that in the lower priced restaurants it
is called table money and in the high
er priced ones placed under the capt.
waiting heading of CONVERT To my
mind, an entrance fee frankly demand
ed at the door would be much less Of
fensive than to find yourself asked at
the end Of dinner to pay for the trou-
BILE and expense Of cleaning up the cut,
lery you have used.''
His conclusion Of the whole matter is
that London lives by imposing fixed
tariff on the accessories that in every
other city have ever been to are
thrown in grahs," and he thinks that
being a gentleman is one of the most
expensive professions an Englishman
can have. He declares it to be an ut
ter delusion that London is a cheap
place to live in. "For the poor man,
he says, the man whose income is less
than f800 a year, there is no city where
less can be had in the way of comforts
and even the necessities of life. II
New York it is only the luxuries that
cost. The expenses Of everyday living
may be as great or as small as one
cares to make them. New York, iI
fact, is laid out for the poor man
From the transportation system to the
price Of such fundamental charges or
the household treasury as coal, ice
fuel, meat, bread, milk and fruit, al
most everything conspires to bring hin
in good return for a very small out
lay. All these things are cheaper II
