pair Of steps to mount them.
Tricks Played on the Traveller.
Sometimes IN European hotels the
tourist is taken solemnly to one side
and told that by paying a few francs
or lire more he can have the royal
bedchamber. A certain hotel in Sor.
rento. where a dozen or more royal
heads have lain in one season, is even
more generous, for II the rooms are
empty they make no extra charge
And the traveller lives to recount when
ne is back on his native heath how his
cheek pressed the same pillow that
had been used by the little queen Of
Holland or the king of, Saxony. But
that is not purely European custom
for to this day in certain Boston ho-
tel the sacred chamber occupied by
Prince Henry of Prussia is listed at
about $40 day more than any other
room in the house
Most American travellers on their
first trips abroad are astounded when
upon the day of their departure from
hotel they are presented with their
bill by the head waiter instead of by
the landlord or by his chief clerk. But
1t Is the custom and this important in
dividual is thus assured of his tip.
The traveller thinks II a little
strange that coffee is always extra at
luncheon and dinner. but when he or
ders coffee. at an average Of or 6
cents extra, the cup. 1t is freshly made
expressly for him and is not the cof
fee that has stood for hours in the
pot. Another thing that strikes him
as funny is the fact that there are ele-
vators to go up, but that he cannot
use them to go down. One European
sign in small hotel reads: mo one
is allowed to descend in the elevator
but invalids and the aged" In the
larger hotels the lifts are used as
they are in America, but so leisurely
are they that one usually prefers to
run downstairs on shank's mare.
Economy in lights is another trait,
and where, as usual, there are two
electric lights in the room. one over
the bed to read by and another in
the ceiling. one cannot he turned on
without turning the other off. But a
young American engineer solved the
difficulty by unscrewing the porcelain

hairpin 10 make the connection. He
had two lights, and no one was ever
the wiser. And his conscience? It
never troubled him at all; it was one
Of those elastic ones you read about.
1t does not take long to remember,
after you once know, that II you
want to buy salt in Italy you must 60
to a tobacco shop to get 1t; for both
salt and tobacco are government mo-
nopolies. And 1t is pleasure to learn
that in France you can buy stamps
and postcards at tobacco shops, which
are under government Jurisdiction
there as well. Also that in both coun-
tries you can send kilograms at as low
rate as IA cents for ten words, and
that special delivery letters will go

to write across your envelope "Pneu-

will be shunted through a pneumatic
tube in no time at all. and delivered
almost as soon as a telegram.

METHODS GROWING
Remarkable Success Here At
tracing Attention.

Prof. James Munyon, the health ex-
pert, had strenuous time yesterday.
People seemed to flock to him on ac-
count of his remarkable success, and
it was difficult matter to get within
speaking distance of him. Several
persons expressed themselves forcibly
in explaining the reasons for their be-
lief of the man. One young woman.
who is very prominent in the city,
said:
81 have been suffering for years
with combination of stomach tronb-
les, catarrh and other troubles, with
general debility. / could hardly do

pain in my stomach, side and chest.

my stomach, palpitation of the heart,
and a feeling of weakness that could
not understand. Headaches most of
the time, with extreme nervousness,
made it so that could not eat, and
what little food that l did eat l did
not seem to get any strength from.
Very often l would have to get up at
night for something to eat in order to
stop the hungry feeling that would
come over me.
Munyon's treatments had been
suggested to me, but l laughed at the
idea that they could do me any good,
as had tried so many doctors and rem
edies without relief. l was tired,
nervous and worn out all the time.
Nothing could do made me feel any
better.
81 had little hopes that his new
treatment could help me, but when
heard what wonderful work he was
doing here l decided to consult him.

"This statement is one of many, -
said the health expert today. 81

satisfaction or poor results from my
treatment in this city since opening

-TldeWater Facilities Are Also
Attracting Northern Interests.

West-TideWRter Facilities Are Also
Attracting Northern Interests.
"A dispatch to The American June 5
from its New York correspondent
stated:
There Is a persistent rumor here
that the Western Maryland Is to Be
absorbed by the New York Central.
II IL based on the known fact that
Vanderbilt interests have acquired a
large block OF the stock, the remain
der of which is lodged with the Rookie
Teller and Deutsche Bank interests
and George r. Gould.
The approaching completion OF the
Western Maryland's extension to Con
nellsville, gives it direct connection
with Pittsburg and Lake Erie, which
the New York Central owns. and go
year contract has been executed with
the latter road for interchange OF
traffic, which will bring the lowest
grade line from the West over the
Alleghanies to tidewater.
This extension will be completed
and ready for operation by November
/. Under the terms of the contract
with the Pittsburg and Lake Erie, the
Western Maryland obligates itself to
route all of it's traffic destined for
points throughout the West over the
Pittsburg and Lake Erie lines. In re-
turn, the Western Maryland will re-
reive a large proportion OF the vast
merchandise movement collected in
the West by the network of New York
Central lines and destined to points
in the Southeast or for shipment
through the port OF Baltimore.
Under the traffic arrangement
made with the Pittsburg and Lake
Erie it would seem that the logical
destiny Of the Western Maryland
would be it's absorption into the New
York Central system. Whether or
not this will be done in view of the
99-year traffic agreement is uncer-
tain. The route will be largely used
by the New York Central lines in
reaching tidewater as both shorter
than via the ports of New York and
Boston and more economical, on ac-
count of the easy grades. The West
ern Maryland's maximum grade over
the Alleghenies will be Al feet to the
mile, comparing with the Baltimore
and Ohios maximum Of SO feet and
about the same for the Pennsylvania.
What this increased movement
through Baltimore will mean to that
port can be appropriated. That it
is expected to be heavy, is indicated
by the preparations now being made
to increase the Western Maryland's
terminal and storage Facilities at tide
water The company for the past
year has ben adding to its water front
property, has acquired large storage
yard properties outside OF the city and
is preparing to bring ITS capacity for
handling traffic at Baltimore UP to
that possessed by either the Pennsyl-
vania or the B. & o."

SHORT CROP OF COW PEAS.

PRICES ARE GOING UP.
The enormous demand for Cow Peas last year
carried the price very high and as the crop is very
short and the acreage is rapidly extending there
are many indications which point to much higher
prices as the sowing season approaches.
WHlP-POOR-WILL cow PEAS.
The Whip-poor-wills are generally preferred in
the Central and Southern States. They are bush
form. early maturing and especially desirable for
Peas.
NEW ERA cow PEAS.
New.Eras are little earlier and make more vine
than the Whip-poor-wis.
WONDERFULS, CLAYS & MIXED COW PEAS.
For Hay. the Wonderfuls or the Mixed Cow Peas
are more productive they should always be plant
ed with an occasional grain OF corn, Sorghum KAT
fir, Corn. etc. which will prevent the vines from
getting damp by coming in contact with the
ground.
BLACK COW PEAS.
Black Cow Peas are little later in maturing
than Clays they make good growth of Vine. are
exceptionally good for medium or poor land and
will stand almost any amount of wet weather with
out injury. We can also supply Shinneys Peas
Red Rippers. Blackeye Peas and Sofa Beans.

Free Meals for School Children.

Children that 60 hungry to school
are not in condition to study or re
ceive the knowledge the teachers have
for them, 30 that many have seen in
the giving OF free meals to school
children the logical concomitant Of
our public-school system, and the
movement to this end is gaining i'm
petus In the United States.
Milwaukee, for example, has appro-
priated $4,000 for the feeding OF school
children. France adopted the sys-
tenn thirty years ago, and the meals
furnished cost only a little more than
cents each. London appropriates
annually for this purpose $40, 900,
Birmingham $4,000 and Manchester
feeds $500 daily. The system Is I'm
vogue also In Austria, Germany, Dem
mark, Norway, and Sweden.

BURNING DAYLIGHT.

\ ND then it happened. Tudor N made his blunder. Never di vining Joan's futtering wild
 ness. mistaking the warmth and enthusiasm in her eyes aroused by his latest tale, for something ten der and acquiescent. he drew her to him, laid a forcible detaining arm about her waist and misapprehended her frantic revolt for an exhibition of maidenly reluctance. 1t occurred on the veranda after breakfast, and Shel- don, within, heard the sharp exclama- tion of Joan, followed by the equally sharp impact of an open hand against cheek Jerking free from the arm that was all distasteful compulsion. Joan had slapped Tudor's face re- soundingly and with far more vim and weight than when she had cuffed Go- goomy.
 Sheldon had half started up. then controlled himself and sunk back ip his chair, so that by the time Joan en- tered the door his composure was re- covered Her right forearm was clutched tightly in her left hand, while the white cheeks. centered with the spots of flaming red. reminded him of the time he had first seen her angry.
 "He hurt my arm," she blurted out in reply to his look of inquiry.

THE LESSON OF THE
 RICH JOY RIDERS AND
 MOTORMAN PETERSON

A party of joy riders, return ing homo after drinking bout, came into collision with trolley car. A woman was killed. A girl in her teens was injured for life.
 The automobile was driven by Yale students. They had been drinking; With the women, for the moment of collision.
 The trolley car was driven by MOtOrman Peterson. He was SOb- CT, an honest workingman. engaged in honest labor for his daily bread.
 An inquest was held before Coroner Wilson. It was Q secret inquest. The students had weal- thy parents. They were influent- ial. They were exOnerated.
 NIOtOrman Peterson was charged with responsibility for the mishap that overlook the drunken party. He was lodged in jail, and for . long time could not get bail.
 Some months have elapsed since MOtOrman Peterson became the scapegoat for the drunken, but in- fiuential, joy riders.
 He has been discharged upon the opinion of States Attorney Stiles Judson, that the evidence does not show that he is guilty.
 Coroner Wilson says that he no longer believes in secrecy in the conduct of public offices. Is he entitled to belief. especially since he is pledged to carry out policies approved by the Warner, King and Lavefy combination?
 If any elector thinks of voting for Coroner Wilson, let him think of the narrow escape of MotOrman Peterson. Let him ask what Coroner Wilson will probably do as mayor, when great wealth and privilege stand upon one side of a public question, and the plain people upon the other.
