LONDON MONTH"; HOTEL
PROVES GREAT SUCCESS.
Principle Upheld by Plenty of Guests
and Employees.

The experiment of non-tip hotel in.
the Strand, in London, has proved a
success. Since the establishment was
opened year ago there has not been
q vacant bedroom, a record which
could not be equaled by any other
London hotel. Every day the manage
ment has had to refuse visitors. Al
together nearly quarter of a million
guests have. stayed at the hotel in the
344 days it has been open.
The success of the hotel, the direc-
tors believe, is mainly due to the non
tip rule. Guests are forbidden to offer
any servant of the hotel a gratuity.
and servants found accepting them
are instantly dismissed. People know
exactly what it is going to cost them
before they set foot in the hotel, and
when they pay their bill there is no
need for them to put their hands into
their pockets to tip anybody.
Although the rule against tipping is
rigidly enforced by the management,
there have been visitors who have in
sisted upon offering gratuities. In Or
der to protect the servants from temp
tation the management has had to re-
quest these visitors either to abide by
the regulations or to seek accommodate
ton elsewhere.
The management has had no diff
Guilty in securing plenty Of walters
and chambermaids despite the fact
that they receive no tips.

BURMAH HOME OF THE RUBY
Practically All the Valuable Stones
Are the Product of That
Country's Mines.

All the worlds great rubies come
from the mines of the Mogok valley,
India. There are four principal mines
In the valley, in each of which mod
ern tools and machinery are used,
which facilitate the proper examina-
ton of large amount of byon or
ruby-bearing clay each day. In the
nearby valleys the Burmans still
prosecute their searches in the old
way, digging and washing by hand Ia
Dor, but often with astonishing re-
suits. In the large workings the sys-
TEN has been reduced to a science,
with corresponding results. The work
goes on day and night The ruby
bearing clay Is extracted by the open
quarry method of removing all the
surface down to the valuable clay,
which is then dug up. carried on troll
leys to the steam cleansing mill,
washed. passed through the sieves,
and then examined for rubies and
spinels The byon stretches almost
everywhere along the Mogok valley,
and wherever this clay exists rubies
are to be found Besides the pure
ruby, sp1nel or balas rubies are found
In large quantities in the same neigh
borhood. Wherever the ruby Is found
the sptnel Is sure to crop up close be-
side 1t. They are both crystals of
a1umlna, but of different shapes. Elk
cept in few rare cases the expert
can easily distinguish between the two
stones, although they are very much
alike to the naked eye. The Burman
is inclined to invest his savings in ru-
Dies and diamonds, which may be
readily realized upon in times of finan-
clai stress. Rubies are more precious
IMAM diamonds, and are practically in
destruct1ble except by fire. During the
season as many as 1000 Burmans are
employed in the mines.

NEEDS MAYOR; ADVERTlSES.
Magdeburg, Germany, Views 1t as Pure
Business Proposition,

Magdeburg, Germany, Views 1t as Pure
Business Proposition.
German cities are claimed to be the
best governed in the world. How far
apart are the ideas of Germans and
Americans Oh the subject Of city gov
eminent may be seen from reading an
advertisement which lately appeared
in number of German papers:
The place of mayor Of Magdeburg
is vacant. The salary is q, 900 marks
($5,250) a. year, including the rental Of
g dwelling in the city hall! Besides
his salary the incumbent will receive
1000 marks (S1,O0O) for his official ex-
penses. Candidates should apply be-
fore Sept. 1.
Can any one imagine an American
city advertising for mayor? The
German idea is that a municipality is
business, to be conducted on bust
ness lines. The Office Of mayor is one
requiring knowledge and skill of a
technical, professional character. A
man who has proved himself a good
mayor in one German town is fire.
quently invited to another.
The larger towns look to the smaller
towns to train municipal officers for
them. It frequently happens that two
cities bid in competition for particu-
larry expert man. So when their chief
|burgomaster, DIR. Lent, was appointed
Prussian minister of finance the good
people of Magdeburg gave public no
tice of their need of capable man.

KANSAS SILK FARM SOLD.
Frenchman's Failure Brings Good Price
After Lonu LITIGATION.

TrencnmanS failure Brings Good Price
After Long Litigation.
The old silk farm in Franklin coun-
ty, Kan, known as the De Boissiere
Odd Fellows home, which was the
cause Of much litigation, has been
sold for $4,000.
Some forty years ago M. de Bots
siere of France went to Franklin coun-
ty, Kan, with philanthropic and bust
ness intentions. He erected silk fac
tory eighteen miles from Ottawa,
which in time came to be known as
Silkville. De sBoissiere raised silk
worms on 3,100 acre farm and man
ufactured silk and satin ribbons.
The silk industry in Kansas was a
failure, and, becoming discouraged, De
Boissiere returned to France, aban-
doning Silkville and the silk business.
He willed the property to an associate,
Mr.. Sears, and on Mr. Sears death
to his children. Finally, however, he
decided to give the Silkville farm to
the grand lodge of Odd Fellows to be
converted into a school and asylum
for the orphan children of members.
At a session of the grand lodge in
1894 the gift was repudiated, after
which James Troutman of Topeka
went to France and bought the prop
erty from the De Boissiere heirs.
When the purchase was made the
trustees Of the grand lodge refused to
surrender the property. Thirteen law
suits covering a period of sixteen years
followed, and the supreme court of
Kansas finally awarded the property
to TrOutman.

change in the state convict law with
reference to the working OF prison
