SOILS OF AUSTRIAN COURT.
How They Are Divided Among the
Attendants Upon Royalty.

Court etiquette in Austria is more
stringent than In other European
courts.
The attendants come in for large
lperquisites. as comestible articles are
never allowed to appear twice on the
royal tables. 1t must be a good thing
TO be one of these attendants, as to
one man falls all the uncorked bot
tiles. to another the wine left In the
glasses, and the game. fish and sweets
.are equally divided in the same way.
Each morning a market is held in
the basement of the palace, where the
.Niennese come to purchase the re-
mains OF the banquet
This custom is a revival of one
that obtained great favor in the mid
die ages. Then the great lards of
the land were not above accepting
the remains of feast and the Lord
Chancellor was entitled to the ends
of one large candle and forty small
ones each day.

perquisite and undoubtedly his ex-
chequer was greatly increased by it

his influence for better schools and
school houses. for longer school
terms and better pay for teachers
and that the public school be taken
entirely out of politics, and that the
children and their welfare shall have
first consideration in all public
school matters.
Eighth-We pledge our nominee
TO r the legislature to vote and do all
he can to reform the management Of
our elecm0synary and penal institu-
lions, to The end that they shall be
operated by non-partisan boards, up
on proper business principles, and
their inmates treated humanely.
Ninth-We pledge our nominee
for the legislature 10 vote and do all
he can to secure an amendment to
the public road laws, in that. that the
money raised by taxation, levied by
the fiscal court of the county, and
collected by the sheriff. shall be
spent only upon the public roads in
the magisterial district from which
the money was collected.
Conclusion-We ask the support of
the people Of Marshall and Lyon coun
ties regardless of their party affilia-
lions, to vote for the nominee select
ed by this convention, and for the
policies above stated, believing it
will insure better days for the grand
old commonwealth of Kentucky.

There is at present nearing COM
pletion a hotel in New York which
will probably be for some time to
come the costliest hostelry on earth.
This is the Plaza Hotel, at Fifty-ninth
street and Central Park, which is
costing the proprietors no less than
SIS, 900 900 to erect.
but we have other costly build
ings beside that" said Gotham
builder, land a few remarks about
them may not be without interest.
The Waldorf-Astoria, which was the
first sky-scraping hotel to be erected
in the city. cost millions to put up.
and remember that labor was cheaper
then than it Is now.
'The st. Regis is the house which
created sensation some time ago.
owing to its costly furnishings and
extravagant charges. You can pay
1928 a day for suite of three rooms
at this hotel. if you are hard up for
a way to throw your money about.
"But to return to the value of ho-
tells and skyscrapers. The Hotel AS
tor, which has the finest roof garden
in the city, cost 81 200, 900; the Hol-
land House (Which is peculiar from
the fact that 1t is the only hotel in
the city which does not have an Or
chestra). $4,000, 900; and the Imper-
ial Annex, $1,750,OOO. The Belmont
cost over $500 900. The Knicker-
booker, which Is one of the many As.
tor hotels, cost 81 100000.
And now let us look at few OF
the Office buildings, which are prob
ably the most palatial structures In
Ithe world. There is the Equitable. a
L20-story affair, which cost millions.
1t is at the present time the costliest
building of the kind in New York.
and its Office space Is occupied by
people enough to form goodsized
town. The Mutual Life building Is
valued at 1000, 900 in round fig
ures. The next most valuable struct-
ure was also built for big insurance
corporation, the Metropolitan Life.
and cost $500, 900. The Edison
Electric building cost about the same
while the Stock Exchange and the
Produce Exchange gobbled up So
1000, 900 each"

Plea for wrestling.

Prof. Rcinhold Begas. one of the
most eminent living German sculp-
tors. has written book on wrestling
I'm which be expresses strong regret
,hat wrestling should be regarded as
a somewhat vulgar branch of sport
lie points out that il was the fav-
oritc sport of the Greeks, and was UNI
lyersally practiced By high and low
ln Germany TN the outbreak OF The
Thirty Years war. He regards
wrestling as an eminent means of ad-
vancing public health aud improving
the physique of the race.
The intense corporal activity which
wrestling demands is an excellent
remedy against alcoholism and its at
tcndant evils. and the professor urges
that IL has an advantage over every
other form of sport in that it brings
the whole muscular system into play.
