The Dog Wagon" in London.

London by night is shortly to have a
unique attraction Ia the shape OF an
elegant travelling restaurant, which Will
perambulate the street for the benefit
of those who desire refreshment better
than that provided at the ordinary cor
fee stall, says the London Mail. The
travelling restaurant consists Of Law
ishly ornamented van some twenty
feet long by six in width, with
doorway at the side to which the Gus
toner ascends from the street by
miniature fight of steps. Colored glass
panels bearing allegorical designs form
the windows round the sides, and the
back of the car bears in large letters
the announcement might lunch, >"
which gives sufficient indication of the
American origin of the new departure.

Never have the hotel mon Of New
York enjoyed so fine a reunion as that
of the other night, when they celebrated
tie twenty-dfth anniversary of the
Hotel association with banquet at
DelmonicU's.
Simeon Ford and Patrick +. Murphy
fought a shrewd battle of wit for the
after dinner speaking championship OF
the world.
Mr.. Murphy went first to bat.
Among the many arts and sciences.
be said, that have come to US from
classic time there is one that was com
paratively unknown to the Greeks and
Romans. but which today has reached
Its acme of perfection under the cnltiva-
ton of the hotel men.
1T is the science which teaches how
TO get the greatest possible amount Of
benefit from a guest at the least posi-
BILE amount of cost to the hotol.
"One Of the great fruits of this sci
ence is forcing the guest to pay the
wages of the hotel help, and if is AZ
ranged and shaped in such a scientific
manner that the public imagine they
are doing it of their own free wil-un-
der the name of gratuities or tips.
This tipping system was created by
way of furnishing an outlet for the
Overlooking simplicity of d guilele6S
public, and there is something sIyly
satirical about the institution when we
reflect that the word tip is an abbrevia-
ton and was originally called a 7. |.
p, the initial letters Of three words,
To Insure Promptness.
Il am speaking the sentiments OF a
large and emaciated constituency when
/ say that Abraham LincOln's famous
phrase in literature is now shattered,
for hotel men can fool all of the people
all of the time.
"Since the delirium of finance has
swept through the country and left its
Impress, like storms on the roofs, we
should cultivate cheerfulness and be
satisfied with what is left. A multi
millionaire who lost in one day all his
wealth with the exception of 100000
was SO affected by grief that he died
when the news reached him. His
brother, who had been poor all his life,
inherited the 100000 and died Of JOY
the very day he heard the news"

and solemner than ever when he arose.

struck US. Well. that wave pUetty
nearly swamped uA and we are now
dashed to the mast and sending up sig
mails of distress, and unless the board
ets get together and como to our aid
we are liable to founder in deep water,
and thare will be naught to maEk our
resting place save few bubbles
Wherever hotel man rests few
| bubbles are always in evidence.
THE worst misfortune which can be
| fall a hotel man is TO experience an
/ era of prosperity. We can handle adj
verslty easy enough, because we are
used To it. but the minute the hote
keeper shows his head above water ev-
cry capitalist in the land wants fin
ger in the pie, buys $1000,000 corner,
erects a $1,000, 900 tower and prepares
to sit in the game.
mo man in this room can name one
half of the new hotels erected in this
city during the year and wouldn't want
to if he could They are as the sands
o. the sea. We are suffering from UNI
dlgested hotels Some day they may
all be filled, but the balance Of the
Uniteu States will have to be depopu-
lated to do it.
THE American public has dropped
about $4,000, 100000 this year in the
shrinkage of inSecurities, and they are
now trying to get it all back by econo'
MIXING on their hotel expenditures.
Maybe you think this pessimtStlc
talk is begOtten of jealousy because l
run an old fashioned place. Not at all.
| am on velvet. l have made my pile,
and it is safely invested in Steel COM

it away from me-that Is, l haven't
succeeded in finding anybody willing to
do 50 as yet.
There are two very dangerous gangs
of mon now at large in the city to
which we call the attention of the new
police commissioner One works around
the Grand Central depot and are called
bunco steerers or gold brick prOmul-
gators. The other prowls about the
lower end of the city, and we call them
financiers. The one gathers in the hay
seeds and jayhawks, and the other
takes in all the rest of the population.
But what's the use of knocking?
This is our twenty-ffth annual ban
quet our silver anniversary, so why
should we repine? Wouldn't it be nice
| if the public would celebrate our silver
anniversary by returning all the silver
ware of which they have relieved us
during the last decadeT

NEWSPAPER FOR cRANKs.
"Take Nothing for Granted" Is
Periodicals. Motto.

On Jan. No. /, volume 1, OF the Crank,
described a. the unconventional maya
zine" was published in London at the
not altogether unconventional price OF
threepence, says a cable dispatch to
the Chicago Inter Ocean.
According to the promoters, 1t Ia TO
be the organ of all people who think
for themselves. There Is, however, an
important reservation. Readers and
contributors must think in manner
which is thoroughly consistent with
genuine social progress. Hopes are en-
tertained that the circulation Will
eventually reach $4,000 or 10000 copies
The new magazine will appeal more
directly to the following sections: Nege-
tarians, socialists, anarchists, passive
resisters, Tolstoians, higher thinkers" y
splritualists. theosophists, QuakerS,
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..
The aims and objects Of the new
journal were explained by the editor
Miss f. L. Warland, a young lady,
who. in a little, unpretentious office In
narrow side street off Ludgate hill,
is busily engaged in asserting the DEL
uge of crank" literature.
THE magazine" she declared, has
for it's definition the witty sayings or
Henry George, A little thing that
makes revOlutions.' and for its motto,
Take nothing for granted We are
opposed to capitalization and stand
for fuidity. In brief, we desire to re-
store the term crank as definition or
q wise thinking person. Our policy Will
be to advance from materialism toward
something better. We would like to
see the world conducted upon the prin-
ciple Of real love-"
There will be no lack Of crank con-
trlbutions to this crank journal. The
most extraordinary of all 'cranks" who
will contribute to the new journal is q
doctor Of philosophy who firmly re-
fuses to handle or deal in money and
manages to live upon what he calls the
service and good will Of other people
He possesses a cottage in the country
but seldom occupies it, preferring tc
