spoon is disposed of at a loss, by the
big hotels, and thai only the alcoholic
.nouriShment that is drained from
glasses or sucked through straws af
fords a profit. Considering the stag
gering bill that follows even the most
casual acquaintance with the menu of
any of the aforesaid big hostelrfes,
such a statement appears to merit q
shorter and alarsheT'' characterize
ton than is permissible in newspaper
literature: yet the troubles of the
Hotel Gotham during rumiess re-
gi1ne seem to prove the truth of the
assertion.
In view of all the circumstances,
we who live in New York can only
lament the intemperance of the
strangers within our gates, who form
the larger portion of hotel patrons,
and who are so abandoned and DISCO
lutte that a ChafiniZed hotel has no
chance of existence. Perhaps in time,
by the force of pure and holy example,
we may bring these besOtted tran
sients to a realizing knowledge of the
evil of their ways. Then, and then
only, will New York be redeemed from
that unfortunate condition which rem
ders certain the failure of any cara
vansary which does not pander to the
low appetites of people from Pitts
burg and other points west of Ho-
boken.
Harry Thaw-Again.
Harry Kendall Thaw, late of Pitts
burg and Mattewan, but DOW a guest
of Sheriff Lane, OF Westcilester coun-
", may be expected to furnish ma

regularity of William Randolph
Hearst. William Jennings Bryan or

scheduled to resume his accustomed
position, first page, last column, or
Monday, when a court convenes n
White Plains to sit on his intellectual
remains and attempt to discover
whether the machinery is working
in a normal manner In other words,
Mr.. Thaw is tired of being considered
a fit inmate for foolish factory, and,
has employed experts who will al
tempt TO persuade the court that his
brain storms have entirely subsidized.
District Attorney Jerome, while not
directly interested in the coming hear
ing, viii doubtless make his influence
felt. He has recently made the pup-
lie assertion that Thaw is still dan
gerous peranoiac and unit to be at
large, and that "a long. pocketbook
should not be allowed to defeat the
ends of Justice" Justice to Thew, Mr.
Jerome believes, consists in keepins
him safely in snug padded cell al
Mattewan, among other criminally in
clined bugs" as long as he lives.

THE MODERN STAR.

She went out west to get divorced,
Her manager she sued;
Some patent nostrums she Endorsed
Her rivals ear she chewed.
Each day she took a bath in milk,
When riding took a spill;
She ordered many gowns of silk,
And wouldn't pay the bill.
She lost her necklaces and rings,
And sundry Johnnies sacked.
Alasi she had to do these things
Because she couldn't act.

CHARGE FOR
BREAD AND BUTTER
Revolutionary Proposal Made to Res
taurants Sets the Dyspepsia Dis
trict in New York Talking.

New York Worldly
"Ten cents more, please"
What for?"
Bread and butter
''WeIl. III never come in this place
again.
The foregoing dialogue between
patron and waiter is expected TO be
a regular part of the eating game II
hotel and restaurant proprietors fol-
low the advice handed out TO them by
a hotel publication 10 take bread and
Ibutter off the free list In support OF
his plan to abolish a time-honored Gus
tom of the country the writer OF the
article contends that every patron OF
frst-class hotel or restaurant gets
six cents worth of bread and butter
gratis.
'Why do the proprietors permit it?'
he asks. why is it that they con-
tinue a practice which is positively
and decidedly against their own In
terests? Do they never stop to think
of the tremendous loss they sustain
each year?'
Hotel and restaurant men did little
else yesterday but discuss the pro-
posaf of making bread and butter pay
their own way in the future. Up and
down Broadway and OH the side
streets OF the territory commonly re-
ferred to as the Dyspepsia District,
the proposed innovation had its sup
porters and its opponents. Ali agreed,
however, that it would take a brave
man TO inaugurate the custom. For
publication the hotel and restaurant
people announced that B. and B.. would
still continue to work for nothing.
In the more luxurious crustacean
castles the proposition was discussed
in a conservative manner, but in the
hurry up hash hutS on Park Row and
vicinity the story caused the greatest
excitement Between denying that he
/, was Gov. Hughes and assuring his
patrons that the ban on bread and but
ter would never reach his famous
"'beef-and'' bureau, John T. Meehan
had the most strenuous day of his
corned beef career.
what do / think of the scheme ?"
he repeated. 81 was for it on the first
ballot It's pretty near time we put
basis" There was no installing the
note of sarcasm that sifted through
the Meehan map tracings.
Every one of our customers gets a
wad of butter and two slices of bread
when he gives an ORDER" said the
head floor walker in Hitchock's, an
other favorite food factory. "Of course
when a man starts after the bread
and butter record we have to pull the
sign on him. Anything after the first
deal of bread costs extra"
THAT fellows kick would be all
right il restaurants didn't sell anything
but bread" was Mike Shanley's com
ment
"They charge for bread and butter
in other countries" said one of the
Hotel Belmont officials. but we
couldn't charge for it here. Not di-
rectly I mean. The patron pays for
it indirectly, anyway
At Simeon Ford's Grand Union Hotel
it was stated that the humorist was
in favor of having bread and brtter
enter each port free of duty, but re-
garded the toothpick as an entirely
unnecessary expense.

MASS MEETING TONIGHT
Southwestern Railway Project Will Be
4e Considered.

~
: A mass meeting Will be held at the
Commercial club rooms this evening
for the purpose of considering and ex-
planning the Southwestern railway
to the residents of Topeka.
The meeting is under the auspices of
the Commercial club and a cordial in
svitation is extended to every one to be
present tonight. You will not be asked
to subscribe for a cents worth of
bonds or to make a donation of a
penny.
All that the promoters of the enter
prise want is your precence and an OPP
portunity to explain just exactly what
the situation is at the present time.
The facts are that Topeka has another
RAILROAD within it's grasp upon the
mere payment of a sum of money for
the right of way.
over one hundred teams are being
fed along the right of way of the pro-
posed Topeka & Southwestern railway
and small army of men thoroughly
equipped for the work of railroad
building is in waiting because Topeka
has not complied with her right of
way agreement. George w. Crane, E.
B. Merriam C. K. Holiday, j. w.
Robinson, w H. Davis and half a
dozen other business men will be
present at the meeting this evening to
explain the situation.

AERIAL DREADANAUGH1.
Count Sepplin Will Attempt Twenty
four Hours Flight.

Berlin, July .10.-Arrangements are
being completed for Count Sepplin's "a
hour flight in his new giant airship to

night they will make their presence
known by means of searchlight. Should
the airship require assistance Count
Sepplin will fly a red flag during the
day or show a red searchlight at
night.
All the military posts and police sta
tions along the route as we'll as the
Rhine river police have been ordered to
hold themselves in readiness night and
day to give assistance.

BILL SAPP HERE.
just as Optimistic as Ever About
Democratic Success

w F. Sapp, of Galena, one of the
wheel horses" of Kansas Democra-
cy, was in the city a few hours to-
day on his way home from the national
him are George Drawn and G.
Schmuch with whom he is appearing
before the state tax commission.
Business compelled me to leave Den
yer long before l was ready" said Mr..
Sapp,s land / left there late Thursday
afternoon, but at that time there was
not the slightest doubt that Bryan
would be the Democratic nominee by a
large majority. All of the petty diff
ferences had been ron.d out and the
was complimentary. 1t Is the con-
sensus of opinion in Denver among the
delegates that Bryan will carry Ohio
and New York hands down and that
he will be the next president of the
United States.
1.-The only difference of any impor-
lance which occurred during the con-
vention up to she time 1 eft Denver
was the Guffey controversy and the
delegates to man .-eplore this Incl
dent, though the G;tf r.uces have been
wiped out and harIs-.1y prevails. The
prospects of Democratic victory at
the polls in November were never
brighter than they are at the present
time and Bryan will gain in strength
every day from now until the election
is held.
Before I left Denver John Atwood
Of Leavenworth had IS votes pledged
to him for national committeeman and
you need not be surprised to hear of
his election. As to the candidate for
vice president 1 believe that it will be
Horace Gray of New York. While he
has said that he could not afford to ac-
cept the nomination it was before it
was settled in the minds of friends that
there was not remote possibility that
he would head the ticket. I believe
that he will accept the nomination If
| 1t is offered to him and he will make
an exceedingly strong man for the
place.
81 have attended every national
Democratic convention since 1880 and
| the meeting at Denver eclipsed any
| thing of the kind that have ever wit
messed Demonstration after demon
stratiorl followed each other in quick
succession and it was convention
