BELL BOY PROVES HIS
HONESTY TO GUESTS
RETURNS DIAMOND RING AND
RECEIVES REWARD
SparkIer Worth Several Hundred DOL
lars Picked Up From Dining Room
Floor at Hotel Alexandria During
Dinner Hour

The honesty of a bell boy in Hotel
| Alexandria was we'll rewarded last
night, when Harold Howell found a
diamond ring which one of the women
guests had lost in the dining room dur
ing the dinner hour.
The guest, whose name is not known,
entered the dining room shortly after
o'clock. In company with her hus-
band she sat down at a table near
the entrance. No sooner had she
seated herself than she noticed that
her diamond solitaire ring was miss
ing from her finger. In some unac-
countable manner it had dropped of
without her notice.
She Immediately made known her
loss to Harold Howell, who was at the
time pageing the name of one of the
guests wanted in the hotel lobby.
The young man set about to find
the ring for the guest and had gone
but a few feet from the table when
the sparkling rays Of the two-karat
gem met his eye.
Hurriedly picking the ring from the
floor Howell retored it to its owner.
Presented With Gold Piece
With that Howell started to resume
his pageing but was interrupted by
the owner Of the ring.
"Come here, young man." she said.
you surely do not think that I am
ungrateful."
Something yellow and heavy was
placed in the young mans hand. On
glancing down at it Howell was over
joyed at seeing that it was nothing
less than a new $5 gold piece. In an
instant the profuse thanks of the
guests were graciously returned by
Howell.
This is the second instance within
the past week that jewelry lost by
guests in the Alexandria has been
found and restored to its owner. The
honesty of the young men who could
easily have taken advantage of their
opportunities, has been a source of
much commendation by General Man
ager S. ]. Whitmore and the guests of
the Alexandria.

lean Steamship Service
BY A ssociated Press.

WASHINGTON, March 24.-Special
Agent Pepper of the department of
commerce and labor has made a re-
port to the bureau of manufactures
on the Mexican railroad across the
isthmus of Tehuantepec and its rela-
tion to the Panama canal. This inter-
oceanic line with it's termini and harbor
works at Coatzacoalcos on the Allan
tic side and at Salina Cruz on the
Pacific, has been opened to interna-
tional trade after an expenditure of
$35, 10000
Intimations are given that Mexico
will now enter upon a series of trade
treaties with Pacific coast countries
of South America to secure their inter-
national traffic and also to extend
Mexican commerce. Though the har-
Dor works at Salina Cruz have not been
fully completed, the transshipment of
cargoes is announced to begin there in
June, 1906, though Mr.. Pepper believes
it cannot be inaugurated until Sep
tember. The American-H Hawaiian
Steamship company is to operate nine
S50J-ton steamers on a triangular SER
vice, touching at San Francisco, Salina
Cruz and Honolulu. On the Atlantic
side q weekly steamer service is to
be maintained between Coatzacoalcos
and New York and Coatzacoalcoz and
New Orleans.

Europeans Favored

Consul Dunning of Milan reports to
the bureau of manufactures on the
methods of Italian manufacturers in
building up their trade in the Philip
pines Lombardy shipped $3.50 in goods
to Manila in 1903, $4,000 in 1904 and for
the six months ending December 1905,
the shipments from Milan to the Phil
ippines amounted to over $3S0C0. Many
of the Manila hats" coveted by
travellers and collectors, the consul
adds, are made in Milan and shipped
into the east by the gross.
Special Agen Hutchinson writes to
the bureau of manufactures from An
tofagosta describing the shipping ia
cilties between the United States and
Chile and Argentina. The recent at
tempt to break the "combination's''
rates from New York to the River
Plata brought the freights on general
merchandise as low as cents per cubic
foot or less than half the rate from
Liverpool. THE war" resulted in the
defeat of the competing line and the
rates from New York to Buenos Ayres
have jumped to 13 and 16 cents per
cubic foot. In Chile it is a common
statement that freight rates from New
York average one-third higher than
from Europe, Notwithstanding that the
published rates would indicate just
the reverse.
The report says special concessions
to Europeans operate against Ameri-
can shipping, and predicts that with
equal ocean transportation facilities
the foreign trade of the United States
would go ahead more rapidly.

GETTING BUSINESS SENSE.

''The Actors Society has been Of great adj
vantage in elevating actors in a business sense
said William D. Stone, the secretary. There
are more businesslike men who are actors than
ever before Years ago it was a common occur
renee TO see long haired tragedians strutting
along Broadway. but to-day you will find by
far the greater number neatly groomed, fash
iOnably dressed and behaving like any ordinary
citizen. The whole profession has improved
wonderfully in this way. The managers, too.
with few exceptions. are business men. which
was not always true. It is a rare occurrence
now when company leaves New York to play
a season that the actor is not paid in full
whereas there time when 1t was more
or less common for them to be stranded all
over the country. and the actors brought home
by the charity of others. The society places
q delinquent list any manager who fails to
pay salaries, and member of the society will
join that manager until the Indebtedness is paid.
If a company does happen TO strand. the So
ciety sends the actor his expenses back to New
York.
The society has an artistically fitted up club
house ln 40th street. with attractive clubrooms
for :he men, drawing room for the women
library IF three thousand volumes, a writing
room ana a reading room with all the leading
magazines and daily and weekly papers All
this serves 20 keep the ector off the street. It
is convenient anG attractive meeting place,
that instead of street corners the players can
meet under their own roof TO chat and plan.

in the morning. The purchaser of goods that

charge, and gets a service unequalled in any
part of the world: but the habitual shipper finds
his freight bills extremely high. since the aver

from a sovereign a ton. It is only fair to say
that this rate, besides providing for rapid move

it has remained practically unchanged through

MIR. BIRRELL DEFIANT.
Il Strong Minister Uhipping This
tics 5Cith a Smile.

London. June %.
Mr.. BIrrelrs unique personality is an unfailing
source OF strength for the Liberal government
IN the education debate. The son Of NOncon-
formist minister. he has been in sympathy with
free churchmen whose grievances he has been
striving to redress, Yet a man Of letters and
a genial philosopher he has been the natural
advocate Of tolerance An astute lawyer accus-
toned to hair-splitting argument over phrasing
and precedent. he has brought in an undenom-
national scheme of education at public expense
without religious tests for teachers and with
absolute control by the servants OF the rate
payers. and, having established a rule satlsfac-
tory TO the NoncOnfOrmists he has provided ex-
ceptions to it in large towns. where the parents
OF four-ffths OF the scholars may prefer de-
nominational instruction. The compromise has
failed TO reconcile the Roman Catholics, has ex-
cited the hostility Of English churchmen and has
been resented by the Noncomformists them
selves as Incompatible with the spirit Of the
measure. Mr.. Birrell. instead Of finchine from
this combined attack Of opponents and maIcon-
tents. holds his ground with invincible courage
and scatters among them the hot shot Of sar-
casm and dry. caustic wit. Beamins benevo-
lently upon the Opposition benches through his
spectacles. he cOnfesses that he has expected
nothing but cOldness and abuse in return for
his efforts to secure thu rights and liberties Of
sibe. and taunts his critics with their zeal for
putting both Rome and I.ambeth-I4ord Halifax,
Lord Wimborne and DR.. Clifford tcgether-On
the rates, and with their ingrattude in receiving
with Indifference concessions which would do
much for them while stopping short of giving
them complete enjoyment and use Of schools
supported at public cost While he has been
concilatory so long as there has been any hope
or establishing a cOncordat on this burning
question Of dogmatic religious teaching. Mr..
birrel can also be defiant and aggressive when
there is need OF strenuous action.
The education controversy has revived the@
spirit Of partisanship in religion and that is the
modern substitute for bigotry. There Is a great
deal Of Incorporate talk about the iniouities os
Nonconformist intolerance and confscation. and
the injustice of according special preferences to
Roman Catholics and Withholding them from
the Church Of England. With all this bitterness
and heat in and out Of Parliament there is little
denunciation Of Mr.. Birrell himself whose sim
cerity and sense OF justice are generally recog-
nized. Perhaps IT is his saving grace OF humor
that protects him against attack. Certainly he
IS more fortunate than Mr.. Forster was in 1870
