TIP PHILOSOPHY.
An ArgamentatIve Patron Gives q
Waiter Some Fine Points Evolved
from Experience.

It was a new philosophy to waiter in
Broadway restaurant, and he evidently
did not understand 1t. The patron had
finished his meal, paid his check and was
disposing of his change, while the waiter
fingered near with his eyes on the dis
appearing coins, says the New York
Herald
"Are you waiting for tip?" asked the
patron.
''Just as you please, sir" answered the
waiter.
"Then fear my pleasure will not be
yours replied the patron. The trouble
is that your philosophy is all wrong, and
with wrong philosophy you are sure to
fall into all sorts Of errors"
Eyes, sir" said the waiter, not under
standing a word.
Nov" continued the patron, you
have the tip reversed from what it
should be- You put it wrong end to.
pay the proprietor for food and SER
vice and honors are easy between US.
Now, where do you come in? My wants
make you necessary. really create your
employment.
without a patron to the house you
would be without a job. You are under
obligation to me for making your pres
ence here necessary, SO IL you put tips
on a philosophical basis you should pay
me. am the reason for the proprietor
hiring you
He walked out and the waiter stood
unmoved.

UNLUCKY ROYAL NAMES.
That OF Peter Has Been Particularly
Conspicuous for Bringing
Misfortune.

The Christian name of Peter has never
been fashionable among royalties. This
country has never had a monarch bap-
tized as Peter, and in other countries the
Peters have been unlucky, says the Lon
don Chronicle Peter, or Pedro l., en-
peror of Brazil, abdicated after an I'M
easy reign, and his son, Pedro H., was
driven to Europe by a revolution, and
died in Paris in 1891. Pedro, the Cruel
of CASTLE and Leon, was slain by his
brother in single combat. Peter the
Great, of Russia, was guilty Of frightful
excesses; his grandson, Peter H., reign.
ed only three years, and died Of smallpox
at the age of Is. Peter sIII. was de-
throned and strangled by conspirators
Peter l., of Servia, has already brutal
massacre behind him. John is another
name avoided by royalties We had
only one John, and the experience was
unhappy. In Scotland such was the pop
ular repugnance to the name that when
the son of Robert II. assembled the
/ throne he changed his name from John
to Robert. Few of the Jameses died in
their beds, and the alteration to Charles
was not successful experiment. Ed

40 Come Across atlantic In the Late
Autumn
WASHINGTON, Aug. g.. Acting
Secretary of the Navy Darling has sent
the Following cablegram to Rear Adj
miral Cotton at Lisbon:
Squadron sail Saturday for some
quiet ports in Mediterranean where
conditions are best to increase eficien-
cy of gun crews preparatory to target
practice in September"
In the late autumn the European
squadron will come across the Atlantic
and proceed to the Caribbean, where,
with the north and south Atlantic
squadrons, 1t will participate in the
winter maneuvers.
1T has developed that as result of
the successful visits paid by the Euro
pean squadron to Kiel, Portsmouth
and Lisbon the officials are inclined to
accept from year to year invitations to
visit foreign waters. In this connec-
ton the interesting fact has come to
light that the Russian government will
probably invite the European squadron

ton of Charles NJ. Schwab as president
of the United States Steel corporation
was rendered and accepted at a meet
ing Of the directors William q. Corey

Steel company, one of the subsidiary
concerns of the United States Steel

peared to be in good health and spirits
and seemed rather glad to be relieved

ecutive Of the billion dollar corpora
ton. Before and after the meeting Mr..
Schwab conferred with Mr.. j. P. Nor
gan. Mr.. Schwab will continue as q
director of the steel corporation and a

NEW YORK. Aug. 5.-Congressman
Littauer has made the following state
ment:
IT am of course surprised and disap-
pointed at the decision Of the secretary
of war that there may exist even a
prima facie case of violation of statute.
The decision only creates an inquiry as
to whether technical violation of law
has been committed and removes from
the case entirely any suggestion of dis
honesty or dishonorable action on my
part and Of any improper use of my
influence as congressman in regard to
any glove contracts.
II can ask no more sweeping and
complete vindication of my honor and
business integrity than the findings Of
the secretary. If, as the secretary says,
there is no doubt that manufactur-
ing. firm, one member of which hap
pens to be a member Of congress, has
right to manufacture and sell goods to
jobbers who are filing government
contracts and that they do not come
within the prohibition of the statute SO
long as the contract between the firm
and the jobber is a separate and dis
tinct transaction from the contract be-
tween the jobber and the government

nifty will fail to see, how even a tech
