tionality. That is especially SO on the continent, where most hotels, like this one. are built round a courtyard and where a single American voice reaches at once from 30 to 100 rooms. Listen to those people over there. They will go on like that for another couple of hours, without the faintest idea that they are disturb ing every guest in the hotel. I have never quite been able to make out why Americans should pride themselves on being adaptable. To my mind no people preserve their localisms so tenaciously. In the last hour that we have sat here I have seen as many cocktails ordered as you would see at the Waldorf itself. At breakfast you will find that nearly all Americans, spurnng the petit deJeun- or, insist on having everything that they are used to at home; and as for manner, appearance, voice and general behavior. I have never noticed that Americans made the slightest effort to conform to that country to which they happen to be visiting. I don't in the least object to this, but I do object to the noise they make; and especially object to their cu- rious failure to make the hotel servants, from the manager down to the waiter. respect them"

Barry Not Admiral.

From the New York Tribune
 The questions of art taste and histor- ical propriety which may be involved in the drapery or lack of drapery of the figures on the monument to be erected to John Barry may be left for other considerations. but 1t is as well to correct at once the error Of calling that Revolu- ttonary hero "Admira1' Barry. There were no admirals in those days, nor in deed until the end of the civil war. when the rank was first established for the sake of honoring Farragut. Barry was the 11th on the original list of captains of our navy in 1T75 and 1776, and when Congress revised the list in the fall of 1776 he was placed seventh. At the reorganization of the navy in 1794. he was placed first on the list of captains and was called by courtesy commodore, although 1t Is not certain that there was any legal warrant for that title
 On the official navy list Barry, like all other officers of his time, ranks no high CT than captain. But his will always be the distinction of having captured the first British naval vessel ever captured by an American and also of having fought the last naval engagement of the Revolutionary war. The facts of his record bestow sufficient glory without giving him title which he never bore.

In the great scena. however, Tess discovers that her father has lied to her, and that her hus- band is still ignorant of her fall. She con fesses the truth, pleading that she was more sinned against than shining. Angel however, renounces her. and Tess gath ering the bridal flowers, disappears into the night, the dramatic effect of the sit uation being heightened by the voice of Ably, which Is heard in the distance accompanied by an invisible chorus des- canting softly upon Tess happiness.
