EXCLUSIVE CLUBS IN PARIS.
Matter Of an Election Puts the candl-
date to Much Trouble.

Matter Of an Election Puts the candi-
date to Much Trouble.
Election to the exclusive clubs in
Paris is very serious business. The
proposer and seconder must not only
know all about their candidates but be
able to bear witness to their antece-
dents and even to their forefathers.
They must write to all their friends
and ask them to. support their candi-
dates. When the election takes place
they must not only be in the room but
approach each member individually as
he comes up to the ballot box and ask
him for his support.
When the member has been elected
he arrives the first day as kind Of
stranger and with his hat in hand. He
is then formally introduced by one Of
his proposers to each member sep
arately who happens to be in the room
at the time. On the second occasion
he has ceased to be stranger and
may leave his hat in the hall. but he
is still expected to go around the room
with one of his proposers and pc
formally introduced.
This lasts for week, by which time
he is assumed to know all his col.
leagues, though foreigner who Is en-
trapunctillious and insists on being In
duced to every member Of the club
gains considerably in popularity.

Sailor Husband Awarded Alimony by

A judicial decision which rivals
some Of Sancho Panza's rulings in the

Valparaiso. The case was that of the
wife of a fisherman and coastwise sail
or who was deserted by her husband
shortly before the birth of their first
child.

tiles and the police were ordered to
keep lookout for the truant. They
got him after a few months and he
was hauled before the alcalde and con.
fronted with his wife, who carried the
baby in her arms.
The facts In the case were undenia-
BILE; the defendant did not attempt to
deny them. It seemed as IL nothing
remained for the magistrate but to as.
sess the amount Of alimony.
He paused, however, and reflected
solemnly for while. Then he asked
the young woman:
"And what used you earn In those
days?"
"Ten pesos a month, SIR"
"And. let me see, how have you
supported yourself since your hus-
band Disappeared"
"Since the birth of my boy, excel.
lency, have taken situation as a
wet nurse"
"And what may be your wages in
that position?"
Il get thirty pesos month. your

"Ah, SO! Well, 1t seems to me the
merits OF this case are very plain. In
becoming the husband of this young
woman the prisoner has trfpled her
capacity for earning a livelihood. He
has plainly conferred a great benefit
upon her, for which it is only fitting
that he should be compensated. l
therefore rule that she shall pay him
every month ten pesos by way of hon
orarium; this still leaves her twice as
we'll, or as she was before marriage.

TIPS BRING LOWER WAGES.

Walters Who Like Gratultles Wit
Have to Pay the Price.
The inevitable result Of the tipping
practice must be the lowering of the
general wage scale. Wages are
right. A tip is a charity. Tips destroy
not only self-respect but wages-the
point can scarcely be overemphasized.
In one Of the smallest hotels on Fifth
avenue. says Everybody's Magazine,
where a tip is always expected, the
walters are paid $25 a month. On the
other hand, in one of the best known
beaneries on Park Row, where tips
are unthought of, the walters receive
$50 month. It may be put down as
an axiom that salaries decrease direct.
ly as the size of the tip.
The Pullman porters have had cause
to realize this. In the early days Of
sleeping cars it was no uncommon
thing for porter to make 500 on
trip from New York to Chicago and
back. And the company realizing this.
reduced the wages until a porter re-
cefved but $1.23 for a trip from New
York to Chicago. But custom is liable
to change in the matter of tips. The
public grew tired Of paying so heavily
for service. and began gradually to re-
-duce the size of fits tips. One porter
told me that from 60 cents for the run
from Chicago to New York in 1890
the average tip had dropped to Is
cents. Yet the wages remain low, SO
low that at political convention held
In Saratoga a few years ago sixty
Pullman porters assembled in ex-Chief
of Police Devery's private car Elzevir
and formed themselves into an associ-
alton to fight the tipping system and
to demand fair working wages instead.
There ought to be moral for other
wage earners In this.

WE WONDER

if Buffalo Bill thought that Water bury money was the tainted" kind last Friday, when he kept the people waiting from until o'clock before he started his performance and then picked up his tent at 6:30 and skid dooed out of town after advertising to give us another performance in the evening? We'll, poor Bill, as great man as he is, must take his bumps once in while and he got them the day before he arrived here. We heard the buffalo got at the cof- fee and ate it all, and the men could not find the grounds. That was a good joke. But we hear when the canvas men told Bill their pay ($3 per week and grub) was too small, he couldn't see the point and they struck. But that was carrying the joke too far, and when he offered more pay they said his money was s'tainted' because 'taint' enough. That settled it and he coulen't do as he advertised. Well, last week we couldn't do as we advertised. We only had half enough of those butter crooks to satisfy our trade, but we'll see you later about them.
