ENGLISH AT FOREIGN HOTELS.

Wonderful to Contemplate.

Many gems Of the curious English
of foreign hotel keepers have been
given to the public. Among the best,
says Stray Stories, is the tale Of
the host Of q well-known establish
ment in Greece, who was wont to
greet his guests in an ELUSIVE man
ner with: what you prefars-a BIZ
tex or . chick-hen?"
Their astonishment at the mastery
of the language was frequently
deepened when, upon their return to
the hotel a few hours later, they
found nothing prepared. 1t was his
only English sentence, and he did not
understand q word of it.
This, however, il not quite equal to
the placard in the possession Of q
naval officer just returned from
Egypt. He procured it at q cafe
.chantant in Alexandria. 1t was print
ed in several languages, and this is
the English part: Every of the con-
summations Of the GOODNESS, one
piastre besides. Every of the claim

ton. During of the repetitions the

IMPERIAL BURLESQUERS AT
THE DEWEY -.:

While the Imperial Burlesquers, who
provide entertainment of a vaudeville
character at the Dewey this week do
nothing that promises to cause confa-
grafton in the universe, the general aver
age OF the production is up to standard.
The burlesque part of the show consists
Of a skit in two acts, entitled "A Pair of
Sports" The chorus is not the hand
soonest ever seen at the house, but it is
also far from being the worst. Some Of
the musical numbers, notably 1.-THE Ath-
letic Girls" are exceptionally good, and
the more hackneyed songs are avoided,
with the exception of bill Bailey" which
seems to have succeeded to the popular
1ty enjoyed o. the Good Old Summer
Time"
Edith Randall and E. E. Perry open
the olio with comedy SKETCH "A Vassar
Boy Miss Randa1rs dancing speciality
deserves much commendation. Eta Vic
toria, the Flexible Venus; who, in the
language Of the press agent stretches
| like scandal and shrinks like TRUTH" is
| in the front rank Of contortionists.
| The dialect Of Cliff Gordon, the Ger
man politician, is exceedingly rich. His
philosophy recalls Dinkenspiel, and the
! turn makes a great hit. Andy Adams and
w. J. Kelly present a mixture Of Dutch
and Irish comedy. Mr.. Adams work with
the bones, however, and Mr.. Kelly's tum-
bling, win more applause than their come
dy work.

in WITH A MANIAC
Albert Gunderson Creates Consterna-
tion Among Prisoners in Police
" Court Detention Room.
Unable to Escape, They Were Kept
Busy Dodging His Furious
-. Onslaughts.

Prisoners in the detention room at the
municipal court this morning had Z. busy
time lodging Albert Gunderson, an insane
man, who was raving about the room
threatening vengeance to everybody and
everything that came in his way. AL
though the man did not attack any one,
yet the men locked up in the pen with
him were greatly alarmed and watched
him carefully. 49, >r
Gunderson has been giving the police
trouble for the last week, having been ar
rested several days ago and locked up
on a charge Of insanity. Upon examina-
tion Judge Harvey decided that he was
drunk and not crazy and after he had
been held in the county Jail for a day
or two he was released and was supposed
to have been sent to his home in South
Dakota. Last night Patrolman James
Flood picked him up on: a charge Of
drunkenness and he was taken to NUM-
cipal court. -.s. -.--
When he, was brought into the court
room this morning and asked to plead
to the charge Of drunkenness, Gunderson
replied in loud and emphatic tones, "Not
guilty.
"Are you ready for trial?. asked Judge
Dickinson.
"Yes, SIR replied the prisoner, "and
demand an immediate trial.
The court then called for the officer
who made the arrest and finding that he
was not present, continued the case until
tomorrow morning. When informed that
t the hearing would come up tomorrow
Gunderson said: =.
mo, sir. object to this. want my
hearing right away and I'm not going to
leave this court room until + am vim
dicated." =.
He grasped the railing firmly, but be-
fore he could realize what was going on

! It.is.tsubmitted also, that the Minneap-
oils library has been an exceedingly useful
institution. that 1t has the largest per
capita circulation OF any library in the
country among thes principal cities It
has not only become a source Of pride to
the city and credit to US wherever Ii

'lWOULD SAVE CASH
Certain Legislators Seriously Con-
sidering a Plan to Amalgamate
City and County.
The Financial Saving Would Be
Large, but Patronage Would
l.. " r. Be Reduced. !:

Since the city officials have moved into
the same building occupied by the county
officials, it has occurred to many thought
full taxpayers that there is an expensive
and almost unnecessary duplicate of
offices. There 'is a city treasurer and a
county treasurer, a city attorney with
three assistants and county attorney
with four assistants, superintendent of
city schools and superintendent of
county schools, a city engineer and
county surveyor, a city controller and
county auditor, a city physician and
county physician. and so on. = ...
AS the city of Minneapolis is something
more than nine -tenths Of the county of
Hennepin in population and pays an even
greater relative amount of taxes, it is ap-
parent that{ Minneapolis taxpayers are
supporting two sets Of officials
This state of affairs mas not escaped
the notice of the Hennepin delegation,
and it Is known that some are giving it
serious consideration. The question Is not
at all new. There are several municipal
tiles that have united their county and
city governments. This is notably true
Of San Francisco. which is known as "the
City and County of San Francisco" There
has been some talk in the past of the ad
visibility Of merging the two systems To-
! cally and cutting off the country from the
| city, but nothing was ever done and the
| plan has been forgotten until it was re-
vived by the actual conditions brought
to public attention in such a striking
| manner. ~.
BY those who have given the matter
some attention, it Is estimated that the
offices Of controller and auditor could be
consolidated the city treasurership
merged with that of the county; the work
of the present city attorney consolidated
with that of the county attorney; the
work Of the city clerk divided between the
county auditor and register Of deeds; the
office of county surveyor abolished, also
the offices Of county physician and super
| intendent Of county schools.
| With one government, either the board
of aldermen or the board of county com
| missioners could be abolished. There
would be need for only one custodian of
the building. Possibly the Offices Of the
clerk Of the district court and the clerk
of the municipal court could be partly
consolidated. Unquestionably much Of the
done by the police. The county jail
would also serve as the city lookup with
out increasing the force at the Jail.
i 1t would not be necessary to print the
i council proceedings at the expense OF
i s6, 900 per year. And there would doubt
less be opportunities to make numerous
economical considerations and reductions
elsewhere. 1t is roughly estimated that
it would be possible to save 100000 in
salaries and expenses by amalgama ting
several Of the offices.
/ Whether anything will be done at tn
present session of the legislature Is no
yet assured, but the introduction Of bill
for this purpose is entirely within tn
range Of possibilities. There is a stron!
sentiment in St. Paul in favor Of just suc]
a consolidation.

sides. It takes care, for example, of the
binding of the 100000 volumes Of which
10 per cent were rebound last year. This

analytical; it not only includes the name
of the author, the title of the book, but
more or less numerous entries of differ

information on particular subject, the
best matter written for his usages may
be under title that does, not suggest his

ca atalosued the catalogue will show that
this matter is to be found in that book

that this work may be stopped but it is
