The collector remained perfectly
quiet, and finally the man who travels
for a soap house said cautiously:
'The will, eh?"
NO. said the collector t'It was

HOTEL LIFE IN EUROPE,

Some Experiences Of Travellers on
the Continent.
Mr.. C. E. Johnstone in Travel says
that experienced wanderers in out-of-
the-way places are thankful for what
they can get, and he instances a tray
eler who was proposing to pass the
night at Njegus, tiny village in Mon
tenegro.,
"Have you succeeded in finding a
room?" asked Mr.. tombstone.
"N-not bad. There are three 9TH
er people going to sleep in it."
''Oh, well, that's all right. Is the
bed clean?" 49, -: =
"N-no, I don't know that the bed
is clean. But then one can get clean
beds at home!" ..-' 49, -.
In one, continental hotel a German
lady summoned the waiter in the din
ing-room and said:
"Close that window or shall die. -
"Garcon!" exclaimed an + English
lady, sharply, leave it open or shall
expire" . 81 -.
AT this point a Frenchman inter-
posed politely: Leave it open till the
German lady has died, and then close
it till the English lady has expired.
Then We shall be able to do as we
like!"" s.$z@@ :.~. ~ an fs>s> Z

The Kaiser Wilhelm H., the big
new North German Lloyd steamship,
arrived at quarantine at New York,
on it's maiden voyage, April Fl. The
Kaiser left Cherbourg at half past
1 o'clock April 16, being delayed at
Southampton to take on 700 tons of
fresh water.
Although on it's trial trip the liner
attained a speed of 1880 knots an
hour, it did not maintain any such
record as this, the maiden westward
passage of the Atlantic, the time be-.
ing five days and twenty-three hours
from Cherbourg to Sandy Hook over
course of $3.50 miles, which is
seven hours and fourteen minutes be-
hind the Deutschland's maiden rec
ord. The liner Celtic was passed
April 20, and also an Allan liner. 1t
was found necessary to keep to the
northerly route on account of ice.
Four icebergs were passed April 49,.
The ship proved an excellent sea
boat and exceptionally steady, with
only slight vibration.
The Cedric, the last great addition
to the White Star fleet, combines
steadiness of keel with vastness of
bulk, but she has no pretensions in
the way of speed. Now comes this
German craft, whose builders not
only claim unprecedented speed for
their creation, but who are willing to
guarantee a reasonable amount OF
steadiness in a seaway,. and to the
voyager who wants but little in the
way of food a fair insurance against
the Titles loss.
For the last dozen or SO years it
has been very much a game of see
saw between the various lines which
have been competing for the lead.
First one has had it, then the other.
For a time the British White Star
was in the ascendant, the Teutonic
and the Majestic of that line having
no rivals save the two Inman racers,

Curious Conditions in the Will Of a
Bachelor.
The curious will case about which
there was much talk in Munich last
week savors more Of the good old
fairy-tale days of "once upon a time"
than of this modern and undomestic
generation. Herr x. was an eccentric
old bachelor who lived in country
town in Bavaria. When he died he
left will with instructions that it was
not to be opened until five years after
his death. 49,,
His nearest relatives-a brother and
sister, with school girl daughter
apiece waited with Impotence till
the time should elapse, for it was
known that the old gentleman had
amassed a small fortune by successful
lottery speculations. At last the will
was opened and the contents made
known to the expectant families. A
certain proportion Of the money was
left to various charities; the rest was
to be divided equally between the two
nieces on condition that each of the
girls became maid servants in re-
spectacle Munich family and remained
in service for a. year, at the end OF
which time the legacies were to- be
paid over, provided the would-be heir
esses were, able to produce an excel
lent character from the mistresses
they had served during the year Of
probation. !. :5 =, & * a;. s. 8

fed by the intensity Of feeling 1t excited
Having done this, however, more was de-
manded Of him In behalf OF the negro by
politicians who thought thus to embarrass
him, but the sympathy of the South was al.
ready sacrificed and he found II easy TO do
whatever was necessary 10 hold the negro
vote in line.
His Republican opponents, defeated In
their designs In that direction, found other
use for the negro In the embarrassment Of
Mr.. Roosevelts plans in Congress through
the loss Of Democratic sympathy and con.
idence In his sincerity of purpose The
factions Of the Republican party thus played
politics around circle, with the negro In
the middle.
Such prominence having been given 10
the negro, and it becoming evident that Mr..
Roosevelt would be nominated, notwith.
standing all efforts to prevent it, the whole
party got together with the idea that, having
the negro In their midst, they would make
use Of him. Hence the sudden outburst OF
indignation over the summary punishment
Of negro outragers of women and the pro.
test against the negro being deprived of the
franchise. They counted on this being very
Elective until, as natural consequence of
heir too vociferous expression Of sympathy
for the negroes who had met with speedy
punishment for atrocious crime, these crimes
md the attendant lynchings got to be of too
| frequent occurrence In the North and West
20 admit Of the South being pointed 10 as
exceptionally severe upon criminals Of this
| class.
When the respected citizens of Danville,
Illinois, the home Of the next Republican
Speaker Of the House, a place Mr.. Cannon
loves to be held TO public view as the seat OF
all that is perfect in simple Christian char
acter, appeared in the role of lynchers OF
negroes, some of the Republicans who had
been crying out against "Southern outrages"
began to realize that the race question might
not serve well In politics.
Aside from the embarrassment Of lynch
ings In Northern communities, there is the
apprehension that, through the agitation Of
this question, the Republicans will lose such
represention as they have in Congress from
the South, and that the party will invite de-.
feat in Maryland, where they fear the Dem.
ocrats will elect both Governor and the
successor to Senator McComas, besides put.
ting the electoral vote permanently in the
Democratic column.
For this reason the Republican leaders
are now accusing the Democrats Of raising
the race question, and they are trying to
avoid the responsibility which rests solely
upon them as an outcome OF the contention
between Roosevelt and his enemies for con-
troll of the Republican organization.
