That is the signal for the passenger,

pocket and extracts therefrom either
an American coin, or a French coin,

always at least of the value of 81,
sometimes two. He is greeted the same

On the German steamships the
band gets $3.50 from each family.
Since Inauguration of orchestras on
the French line, White Star line and
Cunard line these string musicians
get about the same amount as the
brass blowers on the German boats.
But the tipping of the fine orchestras
has not yet been definitely settled.
About SIS covers the average in
tips on each voyage for the head of
family of two persons of ordinary
health and who are not in on every
variety of amusement aboard. The
head of a family of four adults can
safely double this estimate, for he
will have TO pay $40 to the table
steward and room steward alone.
The single man or single woman pas
senger can get away with about SO
expense.
But $40 is the least with which the
lone man or woman can observe the
transatlantic tipping system.

rid of those impOrtunate visitors, whom
it is impossible not to receive, and who,
when they have been received, never
think it is time to take themselves of.
The chancellor replied smilingly:
"Oh, I have an easy and sure means.
My wife at once understands when a
person belongs to that terrible class.
and when she is sure that such a per-
son has me in his clutches, and sees
that he is staying too long. she finds
some way of coming to call me and of
getting me away on some plausible pre-

OF TIPS FOR OCEAN
UOyAGERG
New York Telegraph


With the present agitation for and
against tipping" considerable inter
est is being manifested whether ocean
travellers will now try 10 do away
with the habit at sea. From the time
when the first Pullman car was
hitched to an express train. Thomas,
the porter, has been getting 25 cents
in good coin of the realm as his sti-
pend under the unwritten law of rail-
road tipping. In the same manner
have the various employees aboard an
ocean liner been getting their stipends
regularly at the end of the voyage
ever since transatlantic travel as
sumed respectable proportions. No
history tells that there were stewards
on board the Mayfiower, so 1t is safe
to presume the ocean tip habit did
not obtain until after the Puritan
fathers landed in New England.
Today the transatlantic traveller
never reckons the cost Of his Eoropean
jaunt without adding about SIS each
way for tips on the ocean voyage
alone. When the word went out today
that the various steamship companies
we're battling over cabin rates and had
slashed them from $40 to SIS, many an
old ocean passenger murmured:
THE company will pay the tips
now. for a while. anyway"
There Is a regular scale of tips for
meeting of interested employees nor
was there ever a definite understand
ing how much of a tip each employe
on a steamship was to receive. Some
the different attaches of a transat-
lantic steamship. No one ever ar
ranged this scale. There never was
body started the arrangement, at some
time or other. Nobody knows who and
nobody knows when. If he could be
found he might suffer.
The ocean tip has come to be
adopted on the steamships of various
lines without, apparently, any pre-
concerted movement. For instance,
custom has decided for many years
now that the table steward on an
ocean liner shall receive $3.50 ct the
end of the voyage from each passen-
ger at his table. Likewise has the
German steamship table steward re-
ceived the German equivalent, 10
marks, and the French line table
steward his 121s francs. On the
English ships the table stewards get
a half pound note each from their
passengers.
With apparently an eye to just how
much each employee did for the pas
senger in order to earn the tip the
man who started the ocean tip sys-
tenn decided that while the table
steward should get $3.50, the deck
steward should get only 81, boots"
81, the bathroom steward 81, and
again, the steWardess from $3.50
to So, according to the number of
women in the party and how much
attention was given.

Cleans Up Million by Bulge in Cotton

On. Y. Cor. Chicago Record Herald. }
Mike Thomas is now hailed as the
new cotton king. He already ranks as
the bull leader at the cotton exchange,
and Wall street is expecting him to
start the fireworks going soon. Now
he is rated as a millionaire, with other
millions III sight
In July the Texas law abolishing
brokerage offices went into effect and
Thomas came on to New York. He got
the reception of his life. He put new
life into the market from the moment
he stepped upon the floor of the cotton
exchange. He has been the dominant
figure ever since he arrival.
Mike Thomas made good because
he was steadfast. He believed he had
planked down his money on the win
ming color and he ''let 1t ride" Others
grew shaky and sold out and went
short" Mike simply bought more.
When the wires brought him the news
that the leading bulls had sold out
cents. he sized up his profits up to that
point. They were big-bigger than he
dared believe. 1t was the critical mo-
ment.
Puts "Grizziies' to Rout.
lie nad a chance to join IN the move
ment to force a decline and shake out
the little fellows or take the brunt
of the selling run" of the big fellows.
He chose the latter course He dou-
bled. trebled his holdings. He bought
cotton by the tens of thousands of
bales. The market responded to his
enormous purchases and he knew he
had won out. A few more big buying
orders and the big grizzlies were in
full retreat, and Mike Thomas sold
them the cotton they wanted in order
to cover shorts"
Mike Thomas is from Dallas, Tex,
where for years he has conducted a
brokerage business. He is the head of
the firm of NJ. H. Thomas & Co.
Throughout the cotton trade he is
known as Mike Thomas, and he is
proud of it. He is the mikiest Mike
that ever bore the Celtic cognomen.
He signs his name Mike" His cable
address is Mike" He would rather
be called Mike" than be president.
King Bull of the Herd.
of all the bulls that ever sounded
the slogan for higher prices Mike
Thomas is the most bullish. He is a
bull by nature, instinct, training and
profession No one ever heard him say
that cotton was high enough. If he
thought so he kept his opinion to him
self. He can kill a crop in more
ways than Lucretia Borgia could get
rid of her enemies. And above all he
knows cotton. He has common
sense" Like Br'er Rabbit, he was
"bawn an bred in a cotton patch" In
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1907-10-07

many respects he is the most pictur-
esque figure in the cotton world today
The only way TO describe Mike Thorn
as is to say that he is Mike Thomas,
and therefore different from anybody
else. In Wall street he is as much OF
an anachronism as Sam Houston was
in congress. He has the homely wit OF
David Harum. His language is as
picturesque as that of the old cattle
men in Alfred Henry Lewis Wolf
vile" yarns, and no man in the coun-
try can tell a story better than he.
Can Preach and Play Poker.
He began life as a newsboy in the
streets of Dallas and afterward be-
came cowboy. He is a versatile citi-
zen. He can read Greek, preach SER
mon. make an after-dinner speech that
will set the coolest audience in roar,
play poker. catch as many FISH as
Grover Cleveland, and kill as many
birds as a professional marksman. He
is not afraid of anything that walks,
crawls or flies.
With all the interminabie statistics
of the cotton trade at his tongues end
he never uses any except the final trial
balance which goes to show that there
won't be enough cotton to supply the
worlds needs. He will let you talk as
much as you want to about ''bearish'
statistics and favorable weather and
then he will demolish your argument
by story about a man that lived up
on the West Fork of Two-Mile creek,
and when he gifts through with his
story you have been converted into
buying cotton.
Takes TWO "Guns" to Pit.
There are many members of the cot
ton exchange who can remember the
day Mike Thomas first appeared on the
floor after he was elected. There al
ways is a good deal of genial horse
play directed at new members, which
passes for Initiation" Hats are
smashed, collars torn off and various
other marks of comradeship are con-
ferred. The cotton exchange royster-
ers were not quite at their ease WHEN
the new member from Texas walked
up to the pit. They saw that his wide
brimmed hat was a mans size and
there was something peculiarly dis
quieting about the rough hewn coun-
tenance of the new conner. He looked
like a cross between a gentleman farm
er and a road agent. Finally one of
the holder young members took crack
at the broad-brimmed hat. He was
promptly tossed over to the other side
of the pit" Two others came up and
grabbed the Texan.
Look out, he's got gum" ex-
claimed one of them.
Hes got two of Them, yelled No.
q, who had come into contact with the
other hip pocket.
There was no more "haZing."

Schooner Floated.

The two-masted Baltimore schooner John
and Henry, which was reported ashore and
leaking badly on Swan point on the Po-
tomac river short distance above Black
istone's island, has been floated, it is stated,
by the United States revenue cutter Apache
and has been taken to marine railway for
necessary repairs. The John and Henry
was the vessel that dragged her anchor in
a blow more than month ago, and going
ashore opened seam in her hull through
which the water came faster than the
pumps could keep it free. Capt. Wild Of
the revenue cutter Apache went to the aid
Of the vessel several times and offered to
pull her into deep water. but the master of
the schooner refused assistance. fearing
that II the vessel was pulled into deep
water she would sink before a safe harbor
could be reached. He wished to have an
opportunity to locate the leak in the hull
and close It as best he could while the
vessel was lying in the mud 1t is supposed
that temporary repairs were made to the
schooner before the Apache foated it day
or two ago. The John and Henry has been
employed as an oyster runner between the
lower Potomac and Baltimore.

Heavy Freight for River Points.

The steamer Northumberland of the Bal
timore line took on freight yesterday for
all the landings along the lower Potomac
on her way to Baltimore, and instead Of
sailing from Alexandria at o'clock at the
latest 1t was considerably after before
she cast or her lines there yesterday after
noon. The steamer Wakefield was detained
at Alexandria two hours over the time at
which she would have sailed on her first
trip to. the lower river since the freeze.
The holding of the steamers was due en-
tirely to the very heavy freights of gro
ceries and other supplies which are being
shipped to merchants and others at river
points. The ue-up of the river steamers
lasted exactly two weeks, and in that time
the stocks of the merchants at down-river
points became greatly depleted. and they
are now trying to replenish stocks. 1t Is
expected by the steamboat men that the
run of freight will be quite heavy for the
next two or three trips. The Wakefield re-
turned from the lower river this morning.
and she brought up good cargo of eggs
and country produce and some live stock.
She viii take up her regular schedule to-
morrow morning.
