The Member from galway.

Speaker Cannon received a call yester-
day from the Hon. Richard Hazelt0n. OF
Dublin, who represents North Galway in
the British Parliament, and who has
been on an extended tour OF the United
States. Uncle Joe, aged seventy-one. was
surprised TO see so young a statesman as
Mr.. Hazelton a member Of the British
Parliament. Mr. Hazelton is only TWEEN
ty-six. and looks scarcely twenty-one.
Uncle Joe asked the Irish visitor his age
about the first thing. and when he learned
It he told him that he had one or two
boys I'm his House less than thirty-three,
but none of these had been d member
before he was twcnty-siX, whereas the
young Irishman has been q member Of
the House Of Commons several years al
ready. Mr.. Cannon did not express en-
thusiastic approval of the limited pow
ers Of the Speaker Of the House of Com
mons as described 20 him by Mr.. Hazel
ton On the contrary, he seemed inclined

the superiority of the methods in our

but I believe. after long experience in
many countries that it IS far less OBJ
noxious in Europe than in the United
States" said Mr.. r. F. Gorham, of New
York, at tire Shoreham.
1T Is true that in Europe the nuisance
is systematized to greater degree than
in this country, but I am not sure bat
that it works advantageOusly. Every
where in America tipping has got 10 be
a continuous performance. You tip the
waiter every time you partake Of a meal,
for the reason that though you may re-
main a week in the same hotel they
craftily give you a new waiter on each
different occasion. The bell boy comes
in for his little graft every time he per
forms the slightest service, and 50 on
down the whole line
Now, in European countries the guest
is not expected to give anything until
the hour Of mis- departure, If he Is to stay
for any period. He pays all who have
served him a very moderate subsidy. or
leaves a lump sum with his room waiter
for an equitable division among the bene-
ficiaries. The tips in all Old World places
are less than half what they are in the
United States. If you give an employe Or
a German railway a kreutzer which IS
only two-ffths of a cent, he is satisfied.
In the restaurants and hotels Of Berlin
10-cent tip is received with profound
thanks, and were a waiter given the
equivalent of p cents he would fall dead
| from shock.
What l object to most strenuously In
this country is that the people who walt
on you have been so spoiled that they
expect gratuiues far out Of proportion
to the service they render. l venture that
most of the American travelling public

HOWARD COUNTY CLERK
IS BADLY INVOLVED
Howard Bull of Kokomo Can't
Account for TangIe.
DEBTS AGGREGATE $4,000

Kokomo. Ind. Nov. 16.-lnquiry into
the financial affairs OF County Clerk
Howard L. Bull, by his bondsmen and
others having business connections
with him has revealed that his lndebt-
edness is a least double what was sus-
pected when the first information
touching his embarrassment was given
out IT has been ascertained that in
addition to the $1,000 which he owes
certain funds in his o'ce. and which
he admits he has not the money to
pay, he has outstanding promissory
notes aggresatine So SEQ. and he also
owes several hundred dollars besides.
It is thought his indebtedness exceeds
$4,000. and it is said that his assets
will not cover one-third OF that
amount.
Confined to his home by illness and
closely guarded against intrusion by
his family. Mr.. Bull has made no de-
tailed statement regarding the entan-
clement in MS business affairs.
1t is said. however. that he bitterly
reproaches himself for involving his
bondsmen and the friends who are
his indorsers on rrnmissory notes, and
that he has asserted that he will never
return to the clerks once, although
his term does not end for seven weeks.
He seems to regard his business af-
fairs as hopelessly wrecked. and to
lack courage TO try to extricate him.

to face those whom he has misled. HIS
mental condition is reported some
what improved however, since he has
| been kept in absolute quiet. and his
physician asserts that he will be able
TO come downtown within a day or
| two.
AS yet no satisfactory theory has
| been advanced as to how Mr.. Bull lost
so much money. AS far as any OF his

speculate. and he was not given to ex.
! travagance in his manner OF living.

NEW OCEAN LIVER To
BRING IN S13,00O,000
Two Thousand Passengers
Coming on Mauritania.
SAILING is A REAL EVENT.

Liverpool, Nov 16.-The departure
of the huge new Cunard steamer Maui
retania, from Liverpool. this evening,
on her maiden transatlantic passage,
will be attended with an interest fully
as keen as that which marked the Lu-
sitania's first departure for America.
The Mauretania's recent trials es-
tablish the conviction that she will
surpass the Lusitania's achievements,
Notwithstanding the official announce
ment that she will not be pushed. The
rival shipbuilding interests on the
Tyne and on the Clyde are intensely
interested on this point Of speed. for
the English builders hope to see the
product of the Scotch yards out placed
by Tyneside vessel.
The Mauretania will carry about
1000 passengers-a record number for
westward passage in mid-November
but even then all her berths will not
be filled.
The amount of gold she will carry
to the United States adds interest to
the voyage The amount will probably
be about $13,0O0.oO0, mainly in gold
bars. The Cunard company has in
sured the Mauretania for nearly S.
900 900.
