Popularity of the Uniform.

The popular vogue of the uniform is
remarkable phase of American life
From hall boys to master of the
hounds, among federal, state and city
employees, on railroads, in hotels and
in some private houses, in the service
of corporations, on the decks of pleas
ure yachts, everywhere, high or low,
the uniform is in evidence. This
change in the American employe
whom Dickens saw lounging about in
seedy "store clothes" has been a rad
ical one outwardly. 1t has done much
for personal neatness, perhaps some
thing for politeness in public servants.
What influence it is eXertiEg on char
acter is not obvious. Is it tending to

ATLANTA MAN is AGAINST IT.
Only Opposing Vote of Municipal Own
ership of Utilities.

Toledo, O., Aug. &c. = The only
voice raised at the convention of the
League of American municipalities
against municipal ownership of pub
lie utilities was that of Mayor Wood
ward of Atlanta, and the time limit
cut him off before he had reached any
definite point in his argument for pri-
vate ownership. The prominent
champion for municipal ownership
was Mayor Dunno of Chicago, but
Vice-Mayor Geo. D. Jones of Column
bus, O., and F. S. Spence of Toronto
also made strong addresses in favor
of municipal ownership. Many of
those who discussed the subject were
not in favor of municipal ownership
as an ideal, but seemed to regard it
as a last resort to which the munich
palities were being driven by the
hopelessness of securing fair terms
and honest fulfillment of obligations
from the public service corporations.

Concerted Movement Started by PEG
pie of Chicago.
1t row appears that a concerted
movement has been started in Chicago
to put an end to tipping. There is no
reason why such a reform should not
be Initiated in the metropolis of the
west, although many people are not
disposed to take that city very seri-
ously. Should the Chicago revolution
succeed it will spread in time to every
other city in this country. All that is
needed to make it a success is moral,
not physical, courage. In the great
majority Of cases the payment of tips
is not due to the conviction that the
person who is tipped deserves the re-
ward, but proceeds from a sort Of
moral cOwardice-from the fear that
unless the tip is given an accusation
OF stinginess may result This, of
course, is wrong. Whatever the Gus
tom may be in Europe, it is certain
that in the United States nobody is
under any sort of obligation to give
tips. A man gives full money value
for what he buys? Why should he
give more? Why should he be COM
PEELED to give a present of money in
addition to the person who has acted
as agent for the seller, especially when
the cost of the agents services is in
cluded in the original purchase?-Bal-

Utopian Colony That Failed.

Sienkiewicz, the Polish author who
is confined to his own house for Civ
ing offense to the Russian govern
ment, was one of gifted coterie who
in 1877 endeavored to establish a
Utopian colony near Los Angeles, Cal.
The attempt was failure. but Indirect
~ it did much good. Helena Modjeska
was one of the promoters, and her
financial losses induced her to study
for the English-speaking stage. She
appeared in San Francisco in "Adri-
enne Leconvreur" The failure of the
Utopia also brought Sienkiewicz into
wider notice On his return to Europe
his American sketches were read and
approved.

Gates Astounds PIunaers.

Report has it that John w. Gates
is making all the other plungers at
Saratoga look small. Gates thinks
and acts in thousands where the
average man does the same things in
dollar bills He hardly recognizes
small change when he sees it. His
bets at the races are all up in three
figures, he pays a dollar for a shave
and losses another dollar to the boy
who shines his shoes. He buys good
dinner for large party at time and
gives the biggest tips ever heard of.
The chances are that even with his big
expense he will break even or better
on the present meet. At present he is
away ahead of the game.
