or restaurant is attached to the hotel,
where guests are at liberty to order
as much or as little as they please at
whatever hour it may suit their con-
venience, paying for just what they
choose to order according to a reg

What, in your opinion, are the
principal advantages of the European
plan from the guests point of view?"
THE majority C. people prefer it, "
replied Mr.. Macfarlane, because it
leaves them more independent they
are not tied down to the regular meal
hours of the hotel, and they pay for
nothing but what is actually consumed
by them. Strangers in the city,
whether they are tourists, or here on
business, rarely tale all their meals
at the hotel; some have social en-
gagements, some are away sight-see-
ing, while others find It convenient on
some occasions to drop into other no.
tells or restaurants. Then, again, there
is no just reason why a deli
cate person or invalid should
pay his proportion of a large and
varied bill of fare under the American
plan. when perhaps he only partakes
of one or two dishes. Besides this,
food prepared in large quantities, and
kept stewing and simmering over a
steam table for hours can never be
as palatable as those articles which are
cooked to order. and served up imme-
diately. The former is a prolific cause
of dyspepsia and Indigestion The
European plan removes the cause of
complaint so commonly heard in hotels
conducted on the American plan that
many of the courses are served half
cold"
In answer to the question, DO you
anticipate that there will be greater
economy to the guest, as well as the
hotel. under the new regimen" Mr..
Macfarlane replied, Yes; but you must
not understand from that that there
will be any cutting down of the table.
The economy will be of such nature
that our guests will derive as
much advantage from it as the
the degree of waste that is in
volved in the American plan. as not
one-third of the elaborate dishes pre-
pared are consumed, ana Wnlle cieN-
er chef may utilize some of the un-
touched dishes in different ways at sub
sequent meals, a very large proportion
of the food that is cooked is absolutely
wasted. Now. it stands to reason that
in figuring out the economies of the
business this waste has got to come out
of the guests in some form or other.
AS matter Of fact. they pay for it in
increased rates. This is a necessary
evil which is inseparable from the
American plan. but under the European
ii naturally disappears, as guest will
not order what he does not intend to
consume. People get whatever they
order; they pay for it according to the
printed schedule, and practically moth
ing is wasted; so that this loss to the
hotel under the American plan. which

CHINATOWN BLOCK

Hotel and Pauahi streets had a narrow
escape from destruction by fire Just
after midnight
A negro, who is employed as watch
man of the Winston buildings, in max
ing his rounds. found the wall of one
of the buildings in the rear from River
street burning fiercely and giving off a
great mass of dense smoke. He rang
in an alarm but Chinese threw buckets
of water on the flames and uuenched
ment. Then it was found that the wall
of one corner of the building. starting
at a point about three feet above the
ground and continuing up about SIX
feet, had been badly seorched. There
was no evidence of fire near the base
empty kerosene oil tins. The theory
was advanced last night that some one
had thrown oil on the side of the build
ing and then set it ablaze. but early
discovery prevented what might have
proved a very serious fire.

ly attired. packed the streets all around

pockets of the guests, is obviated-
considering the higher cost of gro
ceries and provisions in this market,
as compared with San Francisco, will
you on this account find it necessary to
make a higher scale of restaurant

No; the scale Of charges we have

more reasonable than is found at lead

it is our intention to follow the

little care is exercised in ordering a

that this is going 10 be a popular

that the step We are taking, which is
the outcome of much thought and OBJ
servation at leading hotels in other
countries, is one in the right direction,

he was duly elected.
Mr.. Harvey thanked his fellow

GEORGE CASS HAS A HORSE KILLED.
 While George Cass was driving a young horse for exercise, it became frightened at some children. Sliding on the ice and slipping on the frosty grass the horse went over the bank at the bridge near Will Hecock's house. The result was the horse had broken neck and the buggy was useful only as kindling wood. MT CasS was lucky to escape without broken bones but was badly bruised. Probably the select men will be called on to pay for the damage; perhaps put up railing and lock the door after the horse is stolen.

Feed pale girls on Scott's Emulsion.
 We do not need to give all the reasons why Scott's Emulsion restores the strength and flesh and color of good health to those who suffer from sick blood.
 The fact that it is the best preparation of Cod Liver Oil, rich in nutrition, full of healthy stimulation is a suggestion as to why 1t does what 1t does.
 Scott's Emulsion presents Cod Liver Oil at its best, fullest in strength, least in taste.
 Young women in their teens are permanently cured of the peculiar disease of the blood which shows itself in paleness, weakness andnervous- ness, by regular treatment with Scott's Emulsion.
 It Is a true blood food and IS naturally adapted to the cure of the blood sickness from which so many young women
