WHEN THE CLERK KICKED"
Guest in High-Priced Hotel Appro-
priated Silver Pitcher as a
,-sz Souvenir. ,...a .

whats that, another sugar bowl
gone? That is the third reported this
week. Keep sharper lookout" said
the hotel manager to the head waiter,
relates the New York Times. &.
During the summer months, when
New York is full of strangers, We lose
more tableware and other removable
goods than at any other time of the
year." continued the manager. New
Workers seldom steal from the restau-
rant table. A man who patronizes the
hotel restaurant only is too much afraid
of getting caught and disgraced if he
tries to make off with cream jug or a
spoon with a pretty crest. ......
TT is the guests in the rooms we have
trouble with. They take things to their
rooms screened with newspapers, or
hidden beneath garment they carry
over their arms. Ten chances to one
the waiter will not notice it until it is
too late to protest. If the guest is lib
eral with tips, he may not choose to no
tice it at all. Salt spoons, matchsafes,
cream jugs and dainty little articles of
cut glass are constantly taken away by
visitors as souvenirs Of visit to New
York We lose from 200 to 400 towels
a month; but that is not souvenir pilfer-
ing; it is downright robbery.
"Not long ago the chambermaid who
went to departing guests apartments
five minutes after he had left, called the
Office up by phone, reporting that a
large silver ice pitcher which he had
been using for several days was miss
ing. 1t belonged in the ladies' recep-
ton room, but was sent to his apart
ments one afternoon when he had q
committee meeting Of some sort in his
parlor. The man was just paying his
bill when the girl 'phoned down, and
the clerk asked him if he wished to pay
for the silver pitcher. He was not bit
disturbed.
Ono he answered, let the porter
unpack the trunk and take it out, if you
want it. But I shouldn't think you'd
kick over trifle like that, when have
been paying 500 day for my apartments
for ten days."

LARGEST SAILING VESSEL.
The "Preussen," Of Germany, Has
Storage Room for 5000 Tons
of Freight.

The trip of the sailing vessel Preussen,
which left its German home year ago,
attracts the liveliest attention.
Generally speaking, the opinion pre-
walls that, on account of the progress
made with steamers, sailing ships are
doomed. For this reason the results of
recent efforts to utilize large sailing ves-
sells in transoceanic traffic deserves spe-
cial mention.
The Preussen has storage room for
over 5000 tons of freight. According to
reports it has fully justified expecta-
lions, and furnished proof that sailing
vessels are not yet to be left out Of con-
sideration.
The trip from the canal to the Gillian
port Iquique, a distance of IL, 900 nautical
miles, was made in 81 days. new record
for sailing vessels being thereby estab-
lished. It must be borne in mind that
the weather was not always favorable,
and that the trip around Cape Horn was
extremely tempestuous.
The Paris Cosmos remarks, with ref
erence to the voyage Of the Preussen.
that eff one considers the expenses Of
this vessel on such a trip, compared with
those of a steamer, it becomes evident
that sailing vessels will never disap-
pear" a,e
Only two obstacles are met, say Ger
man papers, in the employment Of big
sailing vessels; first, 1t is hard to secure
assurance of a sufficient cargo, and sec
ond, it is difficult to secure crew OF suf-
flcient skill. These obstacles are i'm
portant, because sailing vessels, in or
der to be able to compete with steam.
must be much larger than heretofore.

people decide they don't want them,
it's their fault and not ours. Let
us place in nomination a ticket that
will appeal to good democracy and all
people of the state. Let us not throw
out any delegations entitled to seats
here. So today let us make a choice
of men able to carry out the business
of their offices honestly, and in the
interests of all the people, and no one
faction"
John E. Stryker was first recognized
by the chair and in brief eulogistic
address, nominated Captain w. II.
Harries, of Caledonia for permanent
chairman. There were no other nomi-
nations and Captain Harries was
nominated by reclamation. Mr..
Stryker, ]. R. Corrigan of Mime
apolis and T. T. Hudson of Duluth
acted as a committee to escort Cap
tain Harries to the chair. Captain
Harries was received with much ap-
plause as he stepped on the stage.
Recess was taken until $3.50 D. m.
At 1855 this afternoon the demo-
cratic state convention succeeded in
nominating candidate for governor
w. S. Hammond of ST. James, in a
short, eloquent address, presented the
name of John A. johnson of st. Peter
as a candidate for the party, the
speaker characterizing him as a man
whose party loyalty had never been
questioned, who had been faithful in
Office, whose character and reputation
are white and clean.
The nomination was received with
great enthusiasm. Delegates rose in
their seats, cheering and raising their
hats in their enthusiasm. Seconding
speeches were made by Frank Brady
of Hennepin county, T. J. McDermot,
St. Paul, and Martin Hughes of Hib-
bling.
John A. johnson is the first candi-
date for the Office of governor of Min
nesota who was born in the state.
A committee, consisting of L. A.
Rosing, Cannon Falls, Aid. L. Rand of
Minneapolis, and C. D. O'Brien of ST..
Paul, was appointed to wait upon Mr.
johnson and bring him before the
convention, after the nomination had
been made by reclamation.
After the cheering for Mr.. johnson
had subsidized, Judge j. R. Corrigan
of Minneapolis placed tue name of
F. G. Winston of Minneapolis, the
nominees for lieutenant governor, be-
fore the convention. He SAID that Mr..
Winston was not only known in Min
nesota, but throughout the northwest.
He was respected by business and
-laboring men alike.
Mr.. Winston was nominated unani-
mously and with as great a show of
enthusiasm as the candidate for gov
ernor.
Before Mr.. Winston's nomination
had been acted upon, John A. John
son was ushered into the hall by the
special reception committee. His en-
trance was the signal for an outburst
of long and prolonged fury.
John E. King of Red Lake Falls was
placed in nomination for secretary of
state by T. D. O'Brien of st. Paul, and
on motion of delegate from Mower
county the nomination of Mr.. King
was made unanimous Lars M. Pond

PETROLEUM IN ALGERIA.
Nearly All That Is Used There and
in France Comes from the
United States.

That petroleum exists in Algeria has
long been well-established fact Eff
forts have been made from time to time,
since the French occupation OF the ter
ritory, to develop wells; but until quite
recently such efforts have never given
satisfactory results. According to AL
gerian newspapers, the principal OBJ
stacle in the way of such enterprises has
heretofore been the tremendous diff
Guilty in obtaining concessions to sink
wells. Within the last two years, how
ever, a largely increased interest has
been awakened in the mineral POSSIBLE
tiles of Algeria in anticipation Of more
liberal policy, which has already been
inaugurated by the new and progressive
governor-generalo of the colony. Inter-
est has been revived in the almost for
gotten oil wells and it. seems as if at last
realization oftdeferred nopes-were at
hand.
Two producing wells yield between so
and 100 barrels daily, but nothing like
regular pumping has been undertaken,
as the present company occupies itself
in putting down other wells, the reser-
voirs being all full, before completing
the erection of their refinery at St.
Anne. department of Oran.
The enormous advantages possessed
by the owners of the concession covering
these two wells are, first, nonliability to
duty either in Algeria or in France
(this alone is equivalent to net profit
of 80 francs ($17.3D ton on the crude
oiD; second, the position Of their prop
erty, few miles from the principal Al
gerian railroad and close to the seaboard.
as we'll as its situation in the center OF
a rapidly-growing population.
The oil is heavily charged with para
fin and vaseline, containing as much as
10 to IL per cent of these constituents.
Practically all the petroleum now used
in France. as we'll as in Algeria, comes
from the United States.
