GREWSOME MONUMENT

A strange monument of modern
barbaIsim still survives at Nisb,
in southeast Servia. During the
war of independence in 1919 the
Servian garrison here exploded q
powder mag azine and persisted
therein rather than fall into the
hands of the Turks.
A battle had previously taken
place, and the Turks commemor-
ated their victory by erecting a
rude tower, ornamented with the
head of their enemies. Old people
will tell you that there were once
1900 heads, but as the tower
was never more than twenty-five
feet high this is probably an
cxaggration.
Lamatine and other travellers
relate that they saw hair still
clinging to the skulls, which must
have formed a grewsome spectacle.
During many years visitors were
in the habit of carrying off skulls
as souvenirs, but when Nish
became Servian the remainder
were taken away for decent
burial, all save = few that were
too deeply imbedded,
In recent years the remains of
the tower have been covered over
with y roof to protect them against
the elements, and they are re.
garded as pious object of
patriotic pilgrimage. Wide World

A TIPPING BOYCOTT

A Chicago dispatch says that the
ban against tipping which went
into effect January l throughout
the United States, gained mo-
mentum by a decision by Judge
Petit in Chicago tina hotels and
restaurants are in class with pick
pockets and thieves when they
farm out the privilege of exactinQ
tips from their patrons by means
of check room and wash room
graft.
Judge Petit ruled that collect
ing tips was begging and viola
tion Of the city ordinance. Con-
sequently persons engaged in get
ting tips could not demand redress
in the courts, phase of the
ruling which was a blow to check
room magnate who claimed q
violation of a contract. Lawyers
for the tip c,lle> t>rs protested that
nobody is asked to give. -
Zone is compelled to give just
the same" answered the jurist.
Nothing less than a gattling gun
would permit patron of those
places where tie tip trust is II
operation to escape without giving
tip
Proof of Judge Petti,'s statement
was found in the fact that one
checkroom magnate pays as higf
as $4,000 a year to certain hotels
and cafes for the privilege of the
daily hold-up for services which
the proprietors were expected to
render Rratuitously in the day
when prices on the bill of fare
were only a fraction as great and
the buiness far less profitable.

SENATOR KEEPS HOUSE.
William Crane at the Academy Of
Music Baltimore Week Of Feb. l9

William H. Crane, as an actor
manager, in association with Joseph
Brooks, having scored great success
at the Garrick Theatre, New York,
in Martha MoTton's new comedy,
THE Senator Keeps House." comes
to the New Academy of Music, Balti-
more, next Monday evening for a
weeks engagement, with matinees
Wednesday and Saturday.
In the present play Mr.. Crane APP
pears in the role of Christopher Lar
kin, Senator from the Northwest,
widower who keeps house in Wash
ington with his nephew, who acts as
his secretary. The statesman is the
watchdog of the Committee on
Claims, fighting pension increases and
claims arising from war damages. In
his home he is constantly losing his
housekeepers, as they fall in love
with him. A society leader, Mrs.
Wallace, helps him out of his troubles
by getting him new servants. As she
is a schemer and wants to marry him
herself, she sees that the incumbent
always turn out unsati sfactory. The
curtain rises with the latest house.
keeper on the way with the servants
in her train.
An unscrupulous Congressman, who
is engaged in pushing claims for
consideration, calls on the Senator
as he sits down to a breakfast pre-
pared by hs valet. The caller is in.
terested in the Mason claim held by
widow and daughter. This suit is
the Senator's pet aversion. Finding
the household again upset, the Con-
gressman and Mrs. Wallace bring
claimant and child into the home as
it's keepers.
The Senator in a few weeks finds
mis- household revolutionized. He OBJ
tains all the comforts he has so long
desired. His nephew and the daugh-
ter readily form an attachment and
the Senator in time is ruled by his
housekeeper. The scheme of the Con-
gresham and Mrs. Wallace has turn
I'd out far differently from what they
planned. The claimant refuses to
take advantage of the situation and
push her claim which has been inves-
tigated by the Senator and his nephew
and found to be utterly worthless.
Mrs. Wallace schemes revenge by
having the Senator arrange a recep-
tion for his fellow members and then
has the Observation-Disclosures snubbed
by Washington women. Further
carrying out her revenge she reveals
to the Senator the identity of the
housekeeper and her daughter. He is
50 shocked and outraged by the decep-
ion that he departs in high dudgeon
to hotel. The nephew becomes a
| diplomat. First he marries the daugh-
ter to give his uncle the opportunity
to forgive mother and daughter. Then
| the twain wheedle and cajole all con.
cerned into happy ending for the
play.
