THE TIPPING EVIL.
Americans Have Increased Cost of
Travel in Orient.

From the Honolulu Advertiser.
wherever Americans have Travelled In
the orient they seem to have exerted a bad
influence over the natives in the way of
raising prices said Mr. Hofel as he board

go to India. Singapore, Hongkong, Ma
Mia and Japanese cities and You will find
that the Americans have turned things
topsy-turvy."
Mr. Hofel is returning to ST. Louis after
a year in the orient His one complaint is
the manner in which American tourists
have caused prices to soar skyward. The
fault with Americans is that wherever they
go they attempt to "shoW off, and their
habit of tipping far in excess Of benefits re-
ceived has increased even that bane of
travelling Europeans generally do not ex-
coed tip of one-tenth of their bill in cafes
and other places for service. On the other
hand Americans tip entirely out of all pro-
portion to the cost of things received. When
an American goes into cafe and his bill
amounts to 30 or 10 cents in American
money. he tells the waiter to keep the
change of a dollar. People following in the
wake of|these extrayagant tipsters usually
find out to their sorrow that they must pay
equally well or put up Iw1th1poor service.
The ricksha runners event have made up
their minds that when an American APP

A Housekeeping School.

From the Philadelphia Press.
There Is school of housekeeping In Ber-
lin, founded several years ago by Frau
Hadwig Heyl, and supported in part by the
late Empress Frederick When people
looked askance at the school and objected
that the place for girls to learn housekeep-
ing was in their own homes. Frau Heyl re-
piled that If they wished to- advance the
standards of living. to make use Of the IN

might be more heaithful and the food more
nourishing. then instruction from people

pulates them to suit themselves and if the rich man grunts at their findings they are ready to rectify anything. but if the poor man complains because of unfair taxation he has a poor way to help himself and the only way for him to get out of it is to pay it and thank his good luck that found him so easy way. If he should prove that he has been forced to pay too much, what good does it do him as he is never paid back the amount of the eXtortion, if he undertakes to have it rectified, it is with such heavy burdens that he can not reach it and he must retire from the contest with the loss of the litter that he had and the tolls of exorbitant taxation have so completely encompassed him

Hn is to sacrifice all of his home

He is to sacrifice all of bis home comforts, scatter his family, break loose from all the ties he loves and become a common tramp upon the face of the land for which his fathers died that he might be free from the distruc- tive taxation imposed by England.
 So let us shout the land of the free and the home of the brave" because it requires a brave man to face the tremen- dous waves of extortionate tax ation that is ever growing higher and ever higher before him.
 Now, it requires no proof to demonstrate the fact that the rich man is easily becoming rich CT every day without a cores bonding prosperity of the labor ing or farming classes. The horrors of poverty have been closing down upon the poor man tighter and tighter for several years and in spite of the fact that fools have bragged of the prosperity of the country when cotton brought 8 to 9 cents there has been nothing but loss in it.
 Don't you remember that but four or five years ago govern ment experts figured it out that 10 cents was the least price that cotton could be made to yield a profit to the producer. Certain ly men could live at a less figure if they would raise the most of their grub in a garden or truck patch or eat the rhinds and crusts and crumbs that fell from the rich mans table but that part of it would not be raising cotton. Now I don't say that the farming community has become beggars at the door of the sick man.
 Now, just look the matter square in the face and see if yon know of a farmer who pays all of his attention to farming without any side issues such as cattle, horses, stores or something of the kind that is making enough to pay his taxes and have 10 per cent on the money invested and if so, let us hear from that man and let him say if it is not get ting harder and harder every

WHY CANDIDATES
SHOULD ANNOUNCE

SHOULD ANNOUNCE.
 The man who seeks office, from that of constable to con gresSman, and will not make reasonable announcement to the public of his desire, need not ex- pect the people to be in sympa- thy with his niggardly ways, for the world likes a liberal, gener- ous man, and despises the nar- row mercenary devil who wants something for nothing. After nomination of a ticket to be voted for in the general election, the To- cal press takes up the cause of each one and battles bravely for hls success, sometimes in close contest and asks no remuneration for this toll of months. This is the strong reason why the pub fisher should be sustained and favored at the beginning, and how the candidate before the prima- ries can obtain his own contest to ignore the newspaper for a few paltry dollars, is question that has never been answered by one who has achieved success in a po- litical race.

Now don't be deceived and be led to think that this was writ ten out of a sense of jocularity but study it well and see if you have not felt" that it is in many ways true at any rate we do know that the more money and whiskey @ man can control the less is he called upon to suffer the penalty of his crimes.
 Now in the same spirit of a mixture of truth and fiction let us continue our investigation.
 We will take for instance the matter of taxation. The asses sor calls us up to be taxed and when our names are placed upon the account of our taxable prop erty it is supposed to be sworn to and my opinion is that very few poor men give in less than they own as generally they own

year.
 Then let us all rise up in the spirit of liberty that used to be ours and say if our officers have, in the face of our increasing hard times, shown any inclina- tion to share our hardships with us.
 On the contrary, we must each and every one admit that from the marshes and swamps of Woodruff county to the farthest extent of the state of Arkaneas; in rain or in sunshine; by night or by day; in winter or summer; when prosperity smiles upon us or when the cry for bread floats upon the breeze, the grunt of the office holder is heard in the midst of the land. Yea verrily it as- sendeth forever, either sleeping or waking; either living or die ing, from his election to his grave, his voice like unto the voice of thunder is heard afar off and the meaning of his grunt is More Salary! More Salary!
 He seems to have no time for much of anything else. Now, l don t say that our officers mean to be mean but 1 mean that it is very mean of them to treat us so mean and 1 know them well enough to know after l have ex- pressed myself as I have that if they ever get their grip on ne

MRS. CARMICHAEL
DENIED A DIVORCE

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 21.-Mrs.
Alice Mckee Carmichael, wife of DR..
Duncan S. Carmichael of the United
States Marine Hospital Service, failed
to secure her divorce in Judge Seawell' s
court yesterday. Mrs. Carmichael
brought suit on the ground of desertion,
and stated in her complaint that the
physician, who has the rank of Lieuten-
ant-Colonel, had deserted her. on July
%, 1901, and had ever since refused to
provide for her. DR.. Carmichael, how
ever, filed his answer, in which he
stated that he never deserted his wife
and was at all times ready to furnish
her with whatever she could reasonably
expect from a husband in his station in
life.
Mrs. Carmichael produced witnesses
to show that her husband had been
cruel to her. On one occasion, while
she was on the boat taking her to
Angel island, where the physician was
stationed, she lacked some small change
to buy a trifie, book or a paper, and
borrowed the money from the steward.
When she reached her home and told
the incident to her husband he became
very angry that his official dignity
should have been SO compromised, and
it is said that he struck her. Mrs.
Carmichael also says that he struck
her once before while they were living
in Honolulu.
Upon the physicians showing, how
ever, that he was ready at all times to
support his wife, and that his absence
since July, 1901, was due to his being
ordered for service to Marthas Vine
yard on the Massachusetts coast. Judge
Seawell decided that he could not grant
the wife her divorce on the charge of
desertion.
