EUROPE COPYING
AMERICAN HOTELS

A prominent hotel man from Berlin
is visiting American cities with the
idea of seeing the latest features of
hotel arrangement and administration.
He reports a new phase of the Amer
icanization of the continent. The army
of travellers from this country has
forced changes and marked improve
ments in the European hostelries
One of these is the greater amount
of space devoted to Hobbies and pub
lie lounging places in the newer no
tells. The old notion that no one should
go to a hotel unless he was a patron
is disappearing Now there are chairs
for those who wish to sit down. The
American custom of meeting friends
and acquaintances outside the private
room is gaining favor.
Another thing copied from the Amer
lean hotel is the larger room taken up
by restaurants, cafes and dining-rooms.
The habit of dining in public seems to
be growing abroad. In like manner
weddings, receptions and large din
ners are being he'd in the hotels. Peo-
pie who come in from their country
homes are getting used to staying at
the hotels for short periods instead Of
going to the trouble, as formerly, Of
opening up their town houses.
The social aspects of the case are
supplemented by the advances in me-
chanical directions. The American
hotels are far ahead in the matter of
Fconveniences for guests, the small
items which add so much to ones COM
fort when they are at hand and whose
absence has so marked an effect upon
onese happiness. But many European
hotels are now fitted with American
furniture, with American telephones
and with other devices for luxurious
comfort,
In cuisine, however, the European
hotel man claims pre-eminence. The
proof Of this he finds in the French
and German chefs so abundant in
J America. But with this one exception

REDUCTION IN
PRICE OF COAL
CUT FROM $12 TO SO A TON is
ANNOUNCED BY WESTERN FUEL
COMPANY.

SAN FRANCISCO, July S.-On the
LIST of this month the wholesale price
of coal at the wharves was reduced
from $12 ton to 80 a ton, and the
trade has been so notified by the inn
porters of coal. The retail price Of
coal has been $50 a ton, and the re-
duction will be Immediately reflected
in reduced retail prices. 1t is prob
able that the new retail price will be
fixed at from $11 to $12 ton.
The Western Fuel Company was the
first to announce the reduction and let
ters were sent out at once to all the
dealers. 1t was said at the Offices OF
the company that the reduction mark
ed a return to normal conditions.
Heretofore the British Columbia coal
mines have not been able to supply the
demand and it became necessary to
import coal from Australia at much
greater cost in freight charges than it
could have been obtained in the north
James B. Smith, president of the
Western Fuel Company, said yesterday
that the reduction would be perma-
nent He said that the British Column
bia mines were not in position to
supply the needs of this city, and that
the Australian importations would
cease Several of the importers of
coal have kept regular vessels on the
run between this port and New South
Wales, and these will now be discon-
tinued.
1t is said that the reduced price has
already stimulated the demand for coal
and that as soon as the announcement
was made orders began to come in
from nearly all the dealers in the city.
1t is not apprehended, however, that
there will be any difficulty in meeting
the increased demand.

ROGERS SETTLES
FOR $4,000
PAYS BIG SUM TO AVOID BEING
PLACED ON THE WITNESS
STAND.

BOSTON, July 2.-The $50,OO0,O00
suit of Cadwallader M. Raymond a
gainst Henry H. Rogers, in which judg-
ment for the defendant was filed in
the Supreme Court few days ago has
been settled by agreement of the liti-
giants for $4,000 The action, which
began four years ago, was based on a
claim that in 1874 Rogers made
royalty contract with Benjamin f.
Greenough for secret process invent
ed by Greenough for refining crude
petroleum and making oil non-explo
sive. Greenough and his heirs in 1878
assigned their rights to Raymond, who
charged that Rogers applied the pro-
cess to 1000, 100000 gallons of ola
Rogers, it is stated, preferred pay
ing $4,000 to appearing on the witness
stand in his present state of health
and being subjected to a severe cross
examination.

WIDOW AND CHILDREN OF FOR

CARED FOR.

NEW YORK, July 2,-The will of
Grover Cleveland has been filed with
the Surrogate of Mercer county, N. j.,
and will be probated within ten days,
when Mrs. Cleveland will come to
Princeton from her mothers house in
Tamworth, N. H., where she has been
staying since the former Presidents
death. The amount of the estate can
not be learned, but it was stated to-
day that it was larger than hitherto
supposed and would provide most com
fortably for Mrs. Cleveland and the
children. Cleveland drew the will him
self and arranged that the bulk of the
property should go to his widow.

TROPICAL FISH
At SAN FRANCISCO
IMMENSE SCHOOL OF BARRACUDA
APPEARS OFF OCEAN BEACH
GOLDEN GATE.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 3.-During
the past few days an immense school
of barracuda, a semi-tropical fish, as
well as Spanish mackerel, has appear
ed in the waters just off the ocean
beach near the site of the old Clin
House. Every morning large numbers
of these fish swim up to the beach at
high tide, and when the ebb sets in
many of them are unable to get back
to deep water and are left on the sand
by the retreating waves. During the

have been picking them up by the
