The Tennessee member* , thought the remark applied to Senairt tor Carmack, because they knew th? (Ijp president was very bitter towards the . i, senator for his attacks on. tbe policy , f of tbe administration in the Indtanola r. case and in the Phillipine Islands. Someone told Senator Carmack of the Tf- remark and It has found its way Into "f Printmi. Yesterday the president sent for ,m" Major J. M.

Iluyler'a HOW TO ACT AT A HOTEL Best Plan of Retlitrrlng and Gettins Wants Attended To. 1 A man accompanied by his wife should not dm# hor Into the crowd that liangs around the otOce, as two- , thirds of them do. lie should first take hor ito the parlors, leave her there and i go to the office alone. When he has registered ond been assigned a room, be should go and get her. When the boy has shown them the room, tho guest should not hesitate to { say so if he does not like it. There are doubtless others empty, and It is the clerk's place to try to please. Another great blunder Is not to ask i the orlce of the room before looking at It Many % man feel* reluctant to do this, bat R is purely business. If the price docs not suit, he can kick, but there is no use complaining after the bill is sent in and saying that be has been overcharged, that he bos been there before and always had a lower rate and all the many things that a man is apt to think about when he is ready to leave. When a woman is alone, she should not go to the office. All that is necessary is to take a seat in the parlor and send her card to the clerk, stating whether she wants a bathroom or not and exactly the kind o2 accommodations she wants. She should frankly say If she wishes * quiet room, a small room, an inexpensive room or any preference she may have. Despite all the printed warnings on hoed walls it is almost impossible to get women to send their valuables to I the office safe. Why? It Is a mystery. But the owners prefer, as a rule, to take the chances. Then, if a loss occurs, they blame not their own carelessness, but the hotel management 4 ?nVnnka oliniilil hn AUUUIl'l UU1IH. XIUUU cuwuvi* kept kicked. Every hotel tries to get honest help. No hotel can guarantee that all Its employees are or always will be proof against temptation. Every hotel asks its patrons not to tempt them. How to Make Cocoa Cordial. One-half teaspoonful of Dutch cocoa, some boiling water, two blocks of loaf sugar and two tablespoonfals of port wine.
