La defensa de

PATRoNos Y EMPLEADoS DE Ho-
TELES. FONDAS Y RESTAURANTS.

Publicamente llamamos la atenci6n
acerca de la tirsnia inaudita que ejer-
cen contra nosotros, algunos patronos y
duefios de hoteles de San Juan. Hay mo-
mentos en- que un empleado necesita
pedir un dia de asuetV, con Ell propo-
sito de resolver asuntos propios, que lie
ata1en personalmente, y los buenos pa
tronos, no solamente lie niegan ese de-
recho, sino. que rechazan a cualquier
otro compafiero que dejamos en- nuestro
lugar.
Ha sido siempre nuestra norma con-
ceder reconocer Ell derecho de los pa
tronos siempre que 10 tengan; pero, ese
mismo derecho 10 reclamamos, siempre
que seamos merecedores ell ST ese EN-
pleado que nosotros proponemos para

Y cumplidor de sus deberes, y conoce-
dor, asimismo, del tgabajo, al patrono
no lie asiste ning1n motive para recha-
earle. Ell debe de comprender que 81 uno
cualquiera de nosotros propone un
empleado para que ocupe nuestro lu-
gar no vamos a escoger un hombre in
experto o de malas cualidades, pues clio
pondrfa er tela de juicio nuestro pres
tigio, y acaso tambien ell patrono ten
dria justifcados motives para no Greer
en- la seriedad de sus enpleados.
Las ilnicas razones sdmisibles para
que un patrono no acepte un empleado,
son las siguientes:
PRIMERA.-Que haya sido anterior
mente empleado en- SUI mismo estableci-
miento del cual salio por una falta i'm
perdonable.
SEGUNDA.-Qus haya cometido al
gun acto immoral Y offensive para la re-
pntacson del patrono Y del hotel.
Estas son las dos razones de mas pc
50 para que ell patron rechace un em-
pieado.
Nosotros, los empleados de hoteles,

Fortune
for Charity

This splendid woman was, in fact, philan-
thropy personified and though the fortune
which she inherited from her aunts was a
large one, her constant contributions to
charitable objects previous to the war and
to war funds, particularly those for the
fighting men themselves, from the very
beginning, did not leave much of it to be
passed on after her death. She always had
a special sympathy for invalids and for
women Of good family who had fallen on
evil days, and she assisted both to the limit
Of her means. The London hospitals knew
her we'll and the basket which she regularly
carried with her packed with comforts
latterly destined for the wounded-is still
cherished by those with whom she was
associated in the work for the fighting men.
which In the last days Of her life was near
est to her heart.
After the deaths of her two aunts Miss
Hutchinson gave up the house in which she
had lived with them since her girlhood and
took the one in Phillimore Gardens, where
she spent the rest of her life. She lived
there alone save for a number Of old
and devoted servants, all Of whom wor-

return to York House hotfoot to get the
star
Some years after Miss Hutchinson took Up
her residence with her aunts in London
her family left Peterhead and removed to
Banchory on Deeside. The house that they
occupied there was left by Mrs. Hutchinson,
at her death, to her five daughters, and it
ultimately passed into the possession Of
Miss Caroline Hutchinson. For many years
she regularly spent some time there, but
some time before the she decided to
sell the house and its contents. Lord
Kitchener accompanied her to Banchory and
assisted her with the many details of the
disposal. All that Miss Hutchinson retained
of the valuable contents of the mansion
were certain pieces of antique furniture
furniture being another of her few hobbies
and these pieces were sent, not to Philli-
more Gardens, but to Broome Park, where,
I believe, they still remain.
At various times during Lord Kitchener's
brilliant career, in spite of his reputation
as woman hater, there were rumors that
he contemplated matrimonial alliance with
this great lady or that Miss Hutchison's
attitude toward these reports varied &C.
cording to whether they were the subject Of
conversation between her and Lord Kitch-
ener himself or between herself and some
other acquaintance. There was one ocea-
sion, for example, when report declared that
Lord Kitchener was engaged to certain ia

Now First Barred on the Death
of the Lady of His Life
long Devotion
By Hayden Church

AS near neighbors in Kensington Mrs.
Robinson and her sister had, among others,
the interesting family of which the future
Aord kltchener of Khartlm, then seven
teen or whereabouts, was one of the youth
full members. The others included three
brothers, all his elders, and one sister, the
present Mrs. Frances Z. j. Parker The
kitcheners and the two rich, lonely ladies
became friends. From the first Mrs Rob
lnsons mothers heart warmed especially
toward Herbert Kitchener, as he always
was called, and her affection was fully re-
cIprocated by the boy who was destined to
become England's greatest martial hero
after Nelson, Wellington and perhaps, the
immortal Earl Roberts, "Bobs."
SO quickly did matters take their course
that in very short time Mrs Robinson all
but adopted the future Earl Kitchener The
room that her own boy had occupied be-
came his, and he frequently used it for
long periods, becoming, in fact, virtually
the son of the house. 1t was about this
time that, having previously pursued his
studies at school at Vlleneuvc, on Lake
Geneva, Herbert Kitchener was being
coached for Woolwch by the Rev. George
Frost, of Kensington. In 1868, or when he
was eighteen, his name was one of the
ffty-six successful competitors for adj
mission to the Royal Military Academy
INTO which he duly passed. This, then, was
the position when Miss Carrie Hutchinson,
the pretty Scotch niece of Mrs. Robinson
and Miss Lucy Hutchinson, first came to
their home on visit
Although they now had "boy" again,
the two ladies yearned for a girls com
partnership in their home Naturally, their
thoughts turned to their five nieces. As the
result of correspondence, Miss Carrie
Hutchinson came to them on a visit, and so
rapidly did this delightful girl win the
hearts Of both Mrs. Robinson and Miss
Hutchinson that it was ultimately arranged
that she should take up her abode in their
home, and she was formally made the sole
helress of both these ladies, whose accumu~
lated fortunes amounted to six figures in
pounds sterling
She was then bewtching type of girlish
Scotch beauty, and she had uncommon in
telligencc and mingled sweetness and

strength Of character as we'll as good
looks. Her hair and eyes were brown, her
features were finely cut, the nose especially,
and she had the complexion of a real "out
Of doors" girl. In figure she was rather
small and she was always eight as I, bird"
in her movements, as one who knew her
best expressed it. OF true humor she had
aplenty, and she was not without coyness,
perhaps just touch of coquetry, as her

senior she was by some few years, makes
evident. Withal delightful, lovely natured
girl who quickly won the most adoring love
of the two middle-aged ladies who had
chosen her as their adopted daughter.
From the first, Carrie Hutchinson and Her
bert Kitchener were the very best of chums.
Their natures were sympathetic; both had
strong characters, but both knew when to
yield 20 the Other. Ere long the "palship"
between them turned, on both sides, into
warmer feeling, but, girl-lke, it was not
altogether displeasing to Miss Carrie when

known as Miss Carrie" The one who
stood closest to her of all was her per-
sonal nurse Nellie, whom she nrmly
refused to have replaced by professional
nurse even when seized by the illness that
so suddenly ended her life. But though she
lived thus alone Miss Hutchinson had a wloe
acquaintance among persons distinguished
in many walks of life, we'll as among
the social elect.
Always she was full of quiet humor.
which did not even dsdain little puns and
word plays. When Lord Kitchener acquired
Broome Park, his famous country place, she
remarked whmscaly to friend: Isn't
it funny? He's Kitchener and his place is
'Broome.'"
To the close and tender nature of the
friendship between Miss Hutchinson and
Lord Kitchener of Khartum many delight
full incidents bear witness. Miss Hutchi-
son was a keen lover of fowers-lilies of
the valley being her favorites-and every
week, wherever the master of Broome Park
might be- his head gardener had instruc-
tions to send both flowers and fruit to
Phillimore Gardens. After Lord Kitchen
er's death the gardener continued to do this
and sent his offering weekly, the last of
the flowers thus sent being placed rever-
emily upon Miss Hutchison's coffin.
For his dearest woman friend Lord
Kitchener had a special photograph taken,
and he sent it to her autographed, From
your faithful Herbert" 1t was Miss Hutchi-
sons wish that this picture should be
buried with her, but, through a regrettable
misunderstanding, this was not done
Lord Kitcheners constant solicitude for
thousand ways. In the midst Of the count
less matters that engaged his attention at
the time of the last coronation he found
time to take room with window in
Whitehall, from which Miss Hutchinson
might view the procession to Westminster
Abbey. He even chose the chair in which
she was to sit Miss Hutchinson took up
her position with her maid, Nellie, in at

Constant
Letters

Wherever he was he wrote to her con.
stantly, telling her all that was in his
heart and mind and these letters Of his,
all lovingly treasured by their recipient,
numbered, at the end, many hundreds. One
Of these missives was written by Lord
Kitchener to Miss Hutchinson from Dover
just previous to the outbreak Of the war,
when he was about to leave for Egypt to
take over the post there that had been
instructed to him. In this farewell letter
the great soldier wrote: "God grant that
the crisis that now prevails may pass and
a general European war be averted."
AS everybody knows, he was instructed
not to sail but to return to London at
once, and he appeared at Miss Hutchi-
sons home before his letter arrived.

War Office at once" he told her. "and am

"Do l need to tell you that it is not

any one that for me there is only one

On another occasion similar report was
repeated to Miss Hutchinson by woman

siderable authority
THAT report is utterly untrue" declared
Miss Hutchinson with, for her, considerable
heat II have positive knowledge to the
contrary"
The sway that Miss Hutchison exercised
over Lord Kitchener was the continual
amazement of the few who knew of it. at is

these once remarked, "the control that that
little woman has over that great mani" And
yet, on what was probably the one and only
occasion upon which this dearest of his
friends attempted to dissuade him from
what he conceived to be his duty, she
utterly failed. Strangely enough, it was
against his projected journey to Russia, the
journey that was to cost him his life, that

M ysfery of
His Death

Miss Hutchinson was one of those who
believed most firmly that Lord Kitchener's
death was contrived by Russian and pro-
German treachery, and she was deeply
grateful to Sir Richard Cooper and Com
to get the facts barred in Parliament I am
told that if the Hansard records of the evil
dence that these legislators were able to
lay before Parliament had been made public
they would have caused sensation, but
officisldom forbade more than q statement
that Sir Richard Cooper and Commander
Bellairs "again brought up The circumstances
surrounding the loss of the Hampshire"
A clairvoyant nurse was said to have had a
remarkable vision while in state of trance.
She is said to have seen Lord Kitchener, in
perfect health, living in a small cottage
built upon q seashore. The vision was re-
markably detailed, and when these details
were communicated to Miss Hutchinson they
gave her infinite cheer.
1t has been mentioned that Lord Kitch-
ener's letters to Miss Hutchinson numbered,
from first to last, many hundreds. II was
delightful to him to know that each and
every one of these had been lovingly pre-
served, but, some time before his death.
he suggested that they should be destroyed
His reason is obvious. there could be no
certainty into what hands they might, by
accident, fall. To destroy them according
ly, Miss Hutchinson, with considerable
regret, promised. And one day. some time
after the tragedy Of the Hampshire. Q
friend found her engaged in thus com
hitting to the flames the many letters OF
the great man who loved her SO truly snd
go faithfully.
