BLAcKED GEN. BOOTHS BOOTS.
Some DiIemmas of American Hosts
With Britons for Guests.

Gen. Booths return to the United
States prompted a Brooklyn man out
at dinner the other day to tell a story.
when Gen. Booth first came to this
country a good many years age. he
| said Il entertained him over night
He went to bed early and put out his
| boots.
Il knew what he meant, and as had
no servant whom l could ask to black
boots. | turned too and BACKED them
myself.
Some years later / told the story in
the presence of Baliington Booth. say
| ing that | had done for his father what
/ would not have done for the Prince of
Wales and the son jumped UP and
kissed me-
That" said another man present,
reminds me of three other true stories
of Britons and their boots i'm this
country, and they all illustrate how
slow the Briton is to suspect the ex-
istence of other customs than those he
has been brought up to.
~ clergyman of the Episcopal
church. entertaining a young English
man. discovered his guests boots out
to bed. and being unwilling to ask his
maid servants to black them, very
quietly carried them to his own room,
and while his wife looked on, laughing,
BACKED them with great care. Fur
thermore. he kept that up for the week
of the guests stay without being de-
tected.
"A titled Englishman of Science Wis
tied a rural university I'm Pennsylvania
and was entertained, with his wife, at
the house of the president, where, as
was not unusual, there was no servant
at all.
1.-THE next morning the titled gentle
mans boots were found outside his
door. and he poked his head out long
enough to say that as his wife was
not very well she would like to have
breakfast in bed.
$50 the president of the university
BACKED the boots of his titled guest
and the wife of the president carried
up breakfast TO the visiting lady.
"A Scotch member of Parliament,
visiting Henry George in his house over
near Stuyvesant Square, left his boots
outside his bedroom door, but woke in
the morning to find them in the con-
dition i'm which they had been the
night before At breakfast Mr.. George
looked quizzically at his guest and
said: In this country we black our
own boots

institution before the end of the first
year.
To be thoroughly proficient in music
has always been her ambition, and she
has gladly taken up the chance to win
one OF the nine scholarships offered by
The Tribune in that art.
We regret that it was impossible TO
secure interesting information about all
of the contestants. Some of them were
very modest when told that the intelli-
Sence was to be published.
The scholarships will be awarded to
the thirty-three contestants entitled to
them as rapidly as possible, but it will
probably be a matter of several days
before the last is disposed of. The win
ners are urged to be patient, for The
Tribune will use its utmost endeavorS
to hasten this pleasing task 1t is pro-
vided in the rules of the contest that
the one who wins first place shall have
Il selection of the entire list. After he
is satisfied. No. = is to have his choice
of the remaining thirty-two, and this
course will be pursued down to the
thirty-t third, who will take what is left.
1t can be seen that this will occupy
some time. Besides this, a contestant
may select a scholarship for which it
