This Explains Why Hotel
Clerks Are So Naughty

At last an explanation Is at hand
for the hauteur and diamonds OF ho-
tel clerks and managers. We have
often wondered at the look OF scorn
! their faces wore-prouder than cash.
iers on Saturday afternoon. They
seemed above such tribes as sal.
| aries-and they are. says the New
York World
For il appears that the smallest
part OF their income is derived from
the hotel payroll; the big part OF IL
comes from genteel boosting at SO
much per boost. and IL IL isn't gen.
| teel, why, that'll be so much more.
One fairly active representative OF
this class. who happened to be the
central figure In court case through
which his revenues were brought TO
light yesterday, had a list OF dividend
PAYERS that showed the shining hours
had not been neglected by him. The
score is taken from his wIfe's suit for
separation brought against Max L.
Thompson, an assistant manager OF
the Hotel Plaza. Ii follows:
l. From the Hotel Plaza,

2. From certain wine

3. From four European ho-
tells (also for boosting 2,4O0
4. From German steamship
lines more boosting) 1,20O
This list totals $4,000 and 1t doesn't
include the avenues open TO all en-.
terprising young hotel men. such as
membranes by wealthy guests
pleased at the treatment shown
them; tips from automobile men, jew
elers. tailors and others whose profit
depends upon the number Of patrons
sent them by the hotels.
Then, too, II must be borne In mind
that the members Of the stan of q
hotel get their food and often their
rooms free of charge, SO. one thing
taken with another, a hotel mans life
Is quite happy and profitable one.
Hereafter hotel managers and
clerks must be put In the class Of
the uncommonly wealthy along with
headwaiters. carriage agents and
head courtroom boys. II is said of the
hotel men that they consider them
selves to be broke" II they have not

The hotels mentioned as being
those for whom Thompson boosts
are the Adlon and Esplonde Of Der

houses to have connections with the
STATS of the big hotels and to pay

HIS DESCRIPTION
OF THE ECLIPSE
Extract From Diary Of DR.. shaffer, Of
the Date OF August 7,
1863.

In DR.. j. NJ. Shaffer's diary, the fol-
lowing record of the total eclipse OF
August 7, 1859, Is to be found:
The day was perfectly clear. bright
and cloudless. AS the eclipse grew on
the shadow gradually deepened from
mild twilight to a darkness when to-
tai like moonlight night, so that
perhaps ordinary print could not be
read, but the appearance was very I'M
like moonlight; there were no shad-
ows of objects, but remarkable tinting
and coloring utterly beyond descrip-
ton in it's magnificence and filling the
mind with undefinable sensations.
When the whole face of the sun was
obscured, there appeared brilliant ha-
los, or glory" around the sun
surprisingly beautiful and at the low
er side round body of the redness
of blood Five stars were distinctly
visible. The appearance OF the sky
was impressive and awful AS the
eclipse became total, the horizon to
the north seemed clouded with one OF
those heavy nimbi which certainly be-
token severe storm, and as 1t left
the suns disc the same phenomenon
was along the southern horizon, and
as soon as the light first appeared. the
threatening clouds, in a second, dis
solved. No pen can describe the
matchless beauty of the landscape.

objects, lay bathed In light OF incon-
ceivable splendor, and with distinct
ness there being no shadows II

This spectacle filled the
soul with the most rapturous pleasure
and the grandeur OF the eclipse itself
was forgotten in the delights of that
gorgeous panorama. The effect on
the lower animals was amusing. Pig
cons and martins and Others Of our
birds fitted about IS II in great UNI
easiness, darted among the trees and
ceased their songs for the time. Chick
ems, the old ones, went to roost and
the little ones seemed at sad loss
to know how to dispose of themselves,
chirping and running about as If in
distress. The pigs ran to their sites
with curious gruntings, and were sur
prised that night came so soon, and
was so soon replaced by day. Time

CHEAPER MEAT
AWAY FROM HOME
How Ham Can be Hauled to Panama
and Sold Lower Than in
the States.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service. /
WASHINGTON, Aug. 13.-The high
cost of living problem probably has
not yet reached the canal zone. While
housewives here in the states are
paying record prices for meat, Uncle
Sans commissary on the zone is furn-
ishing steaks, roasts and chops as
cheaply az p year or so ago.
Porterhouse steak, selling at from
80 to IS cents a pound can be pur-
chased at Panama for twenty cents.
sirloin brings 25c per, 10 cents on the
zone. Ham is % cents a pound from
the commissary, and 40 cents from the
grocery stores here. The Canal Rec
ord, official publication of the 18TH
milan canal commission, gives many
other figures showing low meat prices.
The explanation is that on the
lsthmus Uncle Sam himself Is
the storekeeper. buying direct
from the packers, and selling
10 the public at wholesale
price plus only the cost Of selling.
