COMPOSER FOND OF SOLITUDE
SO M. Massenot DIseouraees Long
Visits From Friends, but With
out Giving Offense.

The composer, M. Jules Massenet,
has a beautiful estate at Egreville,
and he does most Of his work there,
because In Paris he is rarely free
from visitors. But Egreville Is not so
very far away from Paris, and occa.
sionally his friends go out there and
with the best intentions In the world
disturb Jules Massenet at his work.
Massenet, however, never let's his
friends disturb him very long. He
has a neat way Of suggesting their
departure. He receives them cordial.
ly and In answer to the inevitable
phrase Of admiration for his house
and grounds he always says exactly
the same thing. YES" says M. Mas.

place Is that the railway communica.

But one day friend who had TAX.
en- a country house ten or twelve
miles away arrived on a visit. He
and his son had come on bicycles.

ELECTRIC HOTEL FOR PARIS
" Proposed Structure Except Pay
Guests Bill.

The interesting news comes from
Paris that a hotel will be built there
in which all the domestic service will
be performed by electricity. II the
promoters of the scheme keep their
promises, everything will be done by
electricity except the guests payment
OF their bills. Even then they can
give the cashier Q shock BY refusing
to pay.
There will be no walters, no bell
hops. no coat boys. no chambermaids.
and consequently no tips. II a guest
arrives home at q. m. all he will
have TO do IL to touch a button, which
will turn an electric sun. and then he
can say to his wife:
my dear, you're really getting
lazy. Look at me. I'm up and dress
ed"
II he feels that he needs q cocktail.
he can touch another button. One
touch brings a martini, two whisky.
three Manhattan, four vermouth,
five an ambulance. In answer, a dumb
waiter rises through the floor either
to bring the desired bracer. or. when
need be. to lower the guest to the
ambulance.
The hotel promoters lay much
stress on the fact that all their wait
ers are dumb. In place of the ordi-
nary Swiss who only stand and walt.
instead Of running and serving. there
will be automatons run by electricity
and guaranteed not to spill soup down
your back or creamed asparagus in
your lap. The dining table will be
decorated with flowers raised by in
tensiye electrical culture In both win
ter and summer, for there will be no
seasons in this hotel; push a button
another fellow walking with the "only
dear one on earth," push another
button and you're colder than when
the other fellow frigidly asks. What
the devil are you doing here?"
One Of the features Of the hotel will
be an electric orchestra. In which all
kinds Of stringed instruments will ap-
parently play Of their own accord.
The inventor. a Frenchman named
Giorgia Knap. who has spent years ex-
perimenting with the various devices.
asserts that they are now all abso-

The socialist administration OF

travagant expenditure of money in
carrying out their socialist ideas,
But the investment OF money in
something that will bring returns
is good business though a novelty

these investments, and in spite oi
the fact that they have paid the
expenses OF work on municipal
docks and other expenses formerly
met by issuing bonds, and paid
over $500, 600 OF debt left by the
former administration, the tax rate
has actually been reduced and the
