"a rather well-known American spending
his holidays here told me that he would
give S25 to any one who would find a genu-
inc American bartender-one who had been
born in the United States and had learned
the art OF mixing drinks there-now, dis
pensing American drinks in London. He
said that he had spent two weeks seeking
one in vain. He had acquired wide
knowledge OF London pubs giloed and
otherwise, but had not found any one VINO
could even mix him a Manhattan cocktail
properly.
zone reason for the failure OF the Ameri-
can bar-the genuine variety-is no doubt
the fact that such places became the nat
ural resort of 'touchers' from the other
abdomen who live by trading on their ma
tionality and appealing to that PATRIOTISM
and good nature which when an American
is In a foreign land reaches Its most ex-
pansive form under the stimulating inf1u-
ence of an American drink. That rendered
such drinks an extravaganza luxury COM
pared with which the most costly OF the
English brand are dirt cheap. At an Eng
lish bar the American sojourner runs lar
less risk of being importuned by lmpecuni-
Gus compatriots. There are some Engiish
bars where they make a pretense OF con-
coctIng a few of the best-known American
drinks but the art of mixing them has
never been mastered by an English bar

There is no doubt, too. that the Ameri-
car bar in London has suffered grievoISly
in reputation because of the many spur
ious limitations OF II that have been foisted
on the public These display a list of So
called American mixed drinks to the num-
Der of two score or more, and to most OF
which Americans themselves are entire
strangers Chain lightning, stomach
ticker corpse reviver' are among the
names bestowed upon them. And the
man who IS rash enough TO ask for one OF
them gets something that Is apt to make
him yearn for some internal fire extin-
guisher. OF course an American who runs
up against that sort of thing generally
jumps to the conclusion that all American
bars in London are humbugs and gives
them a wide berth. And the Englishrnan
who has never sampled a genuine American
drink thinks that they are MT only for men
with copper-lined interior departments.

American Bars
Fail in London

LONDON, July 1, 1905.

LONDON. July 1, 1905.
Every attempt to maintain high-class
American bar in London has failed. The
latest proof of this Is furnished by the
transference of the Criterions American
bar, long the most famous feature of that
popular Piccadilly resort, to another and
less conspicuous part of the building, where.
dwarfe1 in size and shorn of it's former
glory, It will probably continue to make
feeble struggle for existence few years
longer. And this has been accompanied by
a change hardly less significant--the abo-
lition OF the distinctively American features
of its noted restaurant In search of an
explanation 1 interviewed the manager on
the subject.
1T is because" he said, Sin London
Americans seem to prefer adhering to the
old adage which bids them when In Rome
to do as the Romans do. Taking the resi-
dent and floating American population to-
gether there are enough of them to keep
several American bars and restaurants go
.Hg But they won't give them enough OF
their patronage to make them pay. And
though in America the Englishman displays
all the zeal of the convert In his appre-
citation of American mixed drinks, and be-
slows a more guarded approval on AInefi-
can dishes, on his native heath he seems 10
regard it as patriotic duty TO set himself
sterniy against any innovations In the mat
ter of food and liquors.
IL have sometimes thought that Amerf-
cans here prefer taking their liquid refresh
ment in the English fashion because of the
opportunities II affords them to diiate on
the superior virtues of the American con-
coctions. In speech at least the American
is always loyal to the cocktail. and is never
more eloquent In Its praises than when ne
is consuming Scotch whisky and soda OF
making a wry face over gin and bitters.

It will be remembered that Maggie Skinner, daughter of the defendant, was first arrested for the theft. On her way to the jail she said that her mother had taken the pocketbook from the trunk of Miss Russell and that she herself had remonstrated with her and had tried to persuade her to put it back. The little girl told the same story to Justice Burnett the fol- lowing morning.
 Yesterday she denied the whole story though she was improperly asked about it. But in her testimony she contradicted herself frequently. One thing that had a great deal of weight with the jury was the statement of Miss Russell, who said that she had not seen her Docketbook since Satur- day morning. Thirty-six hours had elapsed between that time and the time when she missed it. In the meantime her trunk had been unlocked the Docketbook was in plain view. and whoever desired had access to the room. On this showing some of the jurynen said that though they did not doubt that +l.e defendant took the book they would have to find in her favor.
 This is probably the end of the. mat ter, though it was continued for week It would be impossible to get before a jury in district court some of the more damaging evidence for the territory which was put before the jury yesterday.
