From the San Francisco Call.
Forced out Of his life's work as he ap.
prOaches old age. and under indictments.
both civil and criminal, Mr.. MeIIen's LOT
is an unhappy and miserable one. For
this the system under which he was
brought up is more to blame than he is
personally, as the things he did were the
things that seemed natural, proper, and
legal for him to do.
Mr.. Mellen was for a good many years
asfamiliar figure on the Pacific Coast, as
he was for some years president of the
Northern Pacific, where he made such a
reputation as a competent and efficient
railroad man that ne was picked up by
the late PierpOnt Morgan as the best
man to reOrganize and complete the New
Haven system.
The truth is that Mr.. Mellen Is about
the last OF the public be damned style
OF railroad president. Brought up in that
school, he has not yet been able to fully
comprehend that the old order has
changed; that the public has learned to
say the railroad be damned. and has
pretty nearly made some OF them so.

IN HOTELS
Traps to Catch Guests That Have
the Souvenir Fad.
DETECTIVES AND DIPLOMACY.

The Two Combine In a Very. Effective
Way to Foil the Efforts of Those Who
Feel lt q Duty TO EsolP Themselves
to Fine Linen and silverware.
The concerted action Of the house de-
tectives of all the large hotels In Amer
lea has carefully extracted the points
from two erstwhile excellent stories,
the first, ascribed to Adele Richie,
who, when asked once If she had ever
been In Kansas City, replied, II can't
Just remember, but I will look among
my towels and see.v and the second
the more pathetic narrative Of the
young man who was obliged to break
rff his engagement because as he left
the dining room Of a large hotel with
his fancea a number of forks and
SPOONS fell from the sleeves OF her
gown, for the house detectives have
devised a system whereby the man
Or woman who wants to take a souve
mir from a big hotel finds her path be
set with almost irsurInountable diff
cuIties.
The matter Ii carried on with the
greatest a~rtfulness. There are no
'.ihurt feelings" no bones broken, no
arrests made.
The house detectives simply extract

pa1nlessiy al they extract. the po1nus
from old stories, and in the great ma
jority Of S the frustrated borrow
err never knows at all what happened
to him.
First the detective rs provided with
a complete list of everything which is
owned BIZ the hotel--every particle OF
linen, silver, soap, etc. Then he dele
gates the responsibility for the care Of
them TO various head walters, walters,
housekeepers and chambermaids.
Then he gets a list each day Of new
arrivals and Of those who having re-
NAMED a few days are preparing to
leave. From these lists OF occupied
rooms the detective calculates the
areas where trouble might possibly
brew and into these he goes with his
subdivided lists and a checking up
book.
The chambermaid is reeo1red to give
an exact accounting Of every piece OF
linen she has supplied to the man or
woman who is about to leave. This is
In turn taken to the .laundries, where q
balance. Is made OF those sheets, towels,
etc, which have come out OF each
room. IL there is a precise balance the
matter ends there, but woe to the wo-
man who believes that the towels she
placed carefully In her locked trunk
viii not be missed.
Fer trunks and bags on their way
downstairs are simply carried to the
basement floor as lie by chance. and
there the house detective, with the aid
OF d skeleton key. goes through them
Ia search of lost hotel linen.
It is very gently removed and check
ed mp on the housemaid's list, and the
trunk Isl carefully repacEed and re-
locked. Nothing Is left to give warn
ing that the search has been made,
and nothing IL ever by any rernotest
chance said to the departing guest.

joicing and is usually perpIexed out OF
all reason to account for the fact that
the towels and pillow cases that she
knows well she put into her trunk
have my~steriously disappeared.
Do you suppose for a moment that
this is an extreme case nor v q
rare one? It happens on an average
once a day in every large hotel in
New York and with almost as astound-
ing frequency in Boston, Philadelphia
and Chicago,
And in the a s OF silverware the
matter is almost as simple, though
remedying these thefts requires taking
into your confidence at least the man
who pays the bill, for every waiter has
had his eye trained to count up the sill
verware while he is placing the finger
bowls, and IL so much as one small
spoon is not where 1t should be it is
unostentatiously placed upon the bill.
The hotel graciously leaves 1t to the
discretion of the escort as to whether
or not the culprit shall be told. But at
least 1t does not permit him to be en-
lightened only by the belated method
OF a leaky sleeve.
Again, the head waiter will assure
you that this happens, not once or
twice, but ceaselessly.
Many a woman that thinks she's
got away with it would be surprised to
know that 1t is down In black and
! white on her escorts check and that
both he and the hotel know just how
many spoons and forks she is taking
home with her." said one genial head
waiter, who viewed the business with
considerable indulgence. New York

God in Our Schools.

Minneapolis Tribune: Shall we have
Goddess schools? RI + 81 Ha'
Not a family in Minneapolis would
vote we should. Yet all Of us must be
impressed by the sources from which
comes the advice against r~eintroducing
the Bible into our schools. Clergymen
of many denominations, Jew and Cen
tile, advise against it. Now comes the
city attorney to urge "the practical
difficulty Of any use Of the Bible or
any form Of religious instruction in the
schools without encountering earnest,
If not -~rancorous, objections"
OF course, disagreement, controversy,
~rancorous objection, must be avoided if
possible. But they can be avoided at
too heavy a cost. If the only way we
can escape them is to remove from the
school life of our children he atmos-
pheae of reverence for the Almighty,
deed.
The school board need not consider
I~'religious instruction" It need not
Eprovtde a course in comparative re-
ligions. 1t need not give approval to
any particular edition of the Bible. 1t
has only to devise some form of re-
lligious exercise which will tend to con-
firm In the heart of the child his awe
of ~omnipotence and his trust in good
ness. Who is 1t objects to the reading
of paIsn and the saying Of the Lords
prayer? Is it conceivable that the OBJ
lection which may be expected to so
simple a form of religious observance
as this shall counterWeigh the inculca-
ton Of religious reverence?
A Chinese scholar lately in Mime
apolis touched us to the quick In dis
cussing this question. Said he: "You
do not permit the Bible in your
schools: but you require that the in
mates Of your p~enitentiaries shall read
it. rs religion a form of punishment In
Iyour country2"
Without regard for creed, there liz
surely a place for, God in the schools
to which we send our children.
