HOTEL CLERKS MEMORY
Ability in Remembering the Names OF
Patrons Takes Years Of Training.
Cit1r Io,,rnol


Kansas City Journal.
Probably no other class Of men can re-
member names Of people SO well as hotel
clerks, and to person who has never
given the question a thought or watched
them speak to people stopping at their
houses, when hundreds pass in and out
every day, a close study of the case "a,
memory Of the best clerks in the bust
ness is nothing short Of marvellous and
it takes years Of training to acquire the
art. --. ..-.. &.
For instance, a man will come in and
register. The clerk never has seen him
before, but he always watches him write
his name and makes a picture Of him, to-
gether with that name, in his mind.
Maybe forty or fifty more strangers will
come to the desk and put their names on
the book, ask for keys and letters, and
continually come and go before that
other man comes around again. But
when he does return and, maybe, says,
any, the clerk does not have to ask
him his name, as any other man would
do, but simply runs over the letters, or
hands him the bunch which has the
names beginning with the first letter Of
the guest s name.
cit is all the result Of practice, as il
Riley, in the Midland hotel, last night.
cit is necessary that hotel clerks learn
| to remember names well. Maybe a
man who has been in the hotel only q
short time will come up to the desk and
the clerk will speak to him as if he knew
him. Then if the man calls for his key
and you couldn't remember his name
or what was the number Of his room you
would be in a sad predicament. Many
times clerk will turn to the key case,
not remembering the man 3 name, but a
look at the case will recall the number
to his memory and he will be all right.
Then again man will come to the desk
and ask for his mail. By glancing at
nf f register an eke sdseRS ms ba n fnrstt
them, his name will fash into your mind
and he will never know you didn It re.
member instantly. When a. man stays
at the house few days his name will
seldom be forgotten if he comes again.

.CLUBWOMEN IN A
BITTER QUARREL
Official Battle Greek Up Against
It to Decide Which Shall Oc-
cupy New Library.

Battle Creek, Mich, JAM, l4.-When
it was announced that the late Charles
Willard had bequeathed $4,000 for the
erection of public library building in
this city, there was great rejoicing, and
mony would come from it. In the
will it was stipulated that one room in
the building should be occupied forever
free Of rent by the Ladies Library as
ISOLATION.
occupancy, and as there are now two
clubs claiming to be the successors OF
the old Ladies' Library association.
the Woman's league and the Woman g
club, both demanding their rights, con.
| siderable feeling has been stirred up as
to which club shall have the use of the
room.
The matter has troubled the school
board for the past year, and so they
finally concluded to refer the question
to the administrators of the estate. The
administrators have decided to give
each clubroom in the building as a,
| compromise.
This decision does not please the,
Woman IS club, and they sent lawyer
to the school board to represent them,
who made such vigorous objection
that the board has laid the matter on
the table for future action.
One of the administrators, who is g.
lawyer, made thoro examination into
the merits of the claims of both clubs:
He reports that the original Ladies
Library association, which was never
Incorporated, was reorganized and in
corporated. In 1892 the old association
ceased to act, and was recognized UNI
der the name Of the Woman s club under
the name Of the Woman g club. In 1895
the Woman's league was organized,
and included the Woman Is club, the lat
ter organization being merged into tho
league, as hown by the minutes for the
entire years 1896 and 1897, following
, which the Woman IS club withdrew.
The league now claims the benefit
sive litigation may follow, in which case
it is predicted that under the strict
terms of the will both clubs will lose.
:, and be without room.
The Woman s club has a membership
Of IS, and the Woman's league OF 250.

CROOKS HAVE AID SOCIETY
Well Organized Clubs of Thieving Aris-
tocracy in Every City.
Ohio C4oto


IT have no doubt that people have
wondered when some crook, caught in
the act and without friends in the place
in which he came to grief, could give
bond,' said Frank G.. Miller, an ex-
convict, to Journal reporter with
whom he had previously become ac--
quainted.
" There i a,! nothing strange about it. =
ganization for mutual protection, and
this has representatives in every large
city, and in some Of the smaller ones
Of the United States and Canada. Usu-
ally in the smaller places these are
lawyers, and If the crook is 'pinched,
in place where he has no friends, he
knows whom to send for. (
"Should the case be an aggravated
one, and the crook in good standing
bond required is learned, and the so-
ciety is notified to send enough to
square a couple of bondsmen. The
crook disappears, the bondsmen settle
and tell how they would like to bring
the fellow to justice, while all the time
they are wishing for. another job Of
the same sort, for they are well paid,
and the lawyers get better fees for
looking after our business than any
ordinary practice pays"
Miller went on to say that the Or
ganlzation had it's regular officers, who
are better paid than those Of legiti-
mate societies, and that almost all of
them are well respected in the commu-
mites in which they live. Miller stated
that the amount paid for membership
and yearly dues was large and that
only square, crooks were allowed to
become members
When asked if they were not afraid
that their officers would emulate their
employers and rob the treasury, he
replied that such thing had never oc-
| CURED but once. That man was after
ward found on the streets of Constan-
! tinople with knife sticking under the
| fifth rib, and no one had seen fit to fol-
| low his example.
| Why,0 said Miller, they know;
that if they should try to do us they
/ would have a thousand men, keener
than any detectives, on their trail, and
/ that, when caught, no earthly power
! could save them. -
1 The crooks, according to Miller, have
4 their clubrooms in Chicago, New York.
New Orleans, San Francisco and sew
1 eral other cities, and he declared that
these clubrooms, or houses. are fitted
up regardless Of expense. To be able
to use them, however, one must belong
to the crook aristocracy and must also
pay extra dues that would make the

BEGGARS IN INDIA
They Are Fast. Disappearing-Only
About Five Million Left.

The beggar nuisance is very conf
mon one in India, and the endeavors
of the police in the large cities to put
it down have met with only limited
measure of success. This is no doubt
due to the fact that Indian opinion is
remarkably tolerant toward sturdy beg
CARS, especially if they wear the guise
Of religion. But there is reason to be-
lieve that wholesome change is COM
ing over the public sentiment in this
as in SO many other matters. There:
were about five millions of beggars in
the country at the time of the last CEN
sus, and nearly one-ffth Of the number
were classed as religious mendicants.
The number, large as it is, represented
decrease Of about per cent from that
Of the previous census, and the decline
has been attributed in part to the com
paratively heavy mortality among them
during the famine years. But, says
the report, cit is also partly attrib-i
utable to the spread of education and
the consequent weaker hold which the
so-called ascetics have on the imagina
ton Of the people, it being much less.
easy than it was formerly for the mem
bers of the various begging communi..
ties to unloose the purse strings OF
the people.
There is, happily. reason to believe
that the changed feeling among the
educated classes is fltering down to
the lower levels. This evil is not con-
fined to one particular community or
religion. It is as rampant among the
Mohammedans as among the Hindoos.,
The "Sar Jadid," an ably conducted
vernacular paper, published in upper
India, dealing with questions of social
reform among Mohammedans, has been
forcibly calling the attention Of its
co-religionists to the necessity of res
form in their notions Of charity. Our
| contemporary shows by reference to
the Police Gazette that the number Of
Mohammedan beggars under surveil..
lance has been rising every week. y
cite instances from the records of GRIM
inal courts to prove that some Of the

| igious appearance. H.

Boston Herald,

Bellboy Eddie Murphy of the Parker
house, who is dead at 81, after forty
years service in front" was somewhat
advanced in years to be thus designated,

it, and, he never outgrew his youthful
promptitude and civility. All the patrons
Of the Parker house will miss him.
