How Hotels Are Swindled

By a Hotel Dbteotive

The chief detective of one of the biggest hotels in the country has been giving his experiences of hotel swind lers. You have no idea, ha said, how Many persona come to this hotel for the purpose of " doing" it, Thers are mil sorts of dodges employed by clever peraons to make their"living out of hotels without payment. John Smith will come here, for instance, and •Hgagfi & room. Ha wili hand over tts eonot<r a couple of lef-luggage tickets and ask to have his trunks brought up from the station. Mr Smith dresses in the latest style, and %m the outward appearance of a rich man; He will be shown to his room. Be will then casually ask the bell boy to conduct h'm to the dining-room. The boy complies, Mr Smith will order an elaborate dinner, charge it to his room and then walk oat of the hotel. The luggage tickets are bogus. Another imart trick is for a man to rath into tbs hots! from an adjoining ■bop, Hia hat will be off, and ha will have the appearance of a clerk in th« ■hop. He has learned the name of the ■hop raar»gfli% and be will say:-' "We hare a cheque for \£5G in the shop and a-e short of change. The hawks are closed. Mr Jones, our manager, asked me to see if you would cash it." Usually the clerk at th« hotel desk gives an affirmative answer, and the man go ps out for the apparent purpose of getting the cheque from tht manager. In five minutes he returns, presents his cheque and gets it cashed This is a time-honoured performance— and yet it often succeeds. A. rather elaborate scheme which it often worked 5b the following :—A man comes and puts up for a day 01 two. He h seen often in tha lobby, spends considerable money in the cafe and th«n goes away, paying his bill- In a few days he returns. The clerk whose acquaintance he has made wel comes him back, He remains this time a week and quietly slips off witli a big bill unsettled. His trunk is full of old books or worthless articles. Few hotels will cash cheques now foi guest?, but sometimes we get badly caught for large amounts. A well-known commercial traveller earne here not long ago and got £600 The cheque was good only for £60, another cipher having been added to the number. We had cashed similar cheques for him before, and supposed tke one he presented to be all right. Some of the worst hotel swindlers are wealthy persono. Somehow they hate to pay a bill; They'll go off with out payment, and it is only after we have threatened exposure that we are able to extract oar money. Tfaen there are the impersonators of well known men. They have cards engraved with the names of bankers and rich railroad and mining meo. Their make-up is cuo Jelled on that of their original^; We are often taken in by imposters of this description—but some timeß they meet their Waterloo. A man eatne here not long ago who said hs was a well-knewn shipbuilder from the North of England. As luck would have it, the shipbuilder himsplf was staying afc the hotel and was well kn jwn to the clerk. We captured the imjoitor promptly, and he Is now • doing time.' No end of raeals are obtained for nothing, and it is difficult to keep proper chrck on the dining room with out giving offence. It may be incred ible, but it is true, that many of the hotel swindlers are—or are thought to be—high-class persons. They have no means to live up to their tastes, and seeai willing to sacrifice even their honour to satisfy their appetites.

Patriotic Clergymen.

From the reports in the local Press of the scenn at the Hamilton Methodist Opnferenc-i (Canada) when the Lord Roaslya rumour of the fall of Pretoria was received it appears that.—"On a hundred clerical coats £amiug badge?, bearing the inscription 'Pretoria is ours,' were displayed, and many of the ministers supplemented their decora tions with fUgs of various sizes.' The National Anthem was sung ' with a vigour that made the windows rattle.' The subsequent proceedings ape summed up in the vague statement that' all the brethren jubilated fur several minutes.'

NERVOUSNESS

A dead set is being made against ncr- Toua teichers in Chicago,* The Chicago Times Herald ho I da that all candidates for work in elementary schools should ba examined by doctors, and their fitness for the work be determined by sound common sense. Parents, it is argued, have a right to demand that their child ren shall be protected from the nervous fidgety, or cross teachers, for the temper amental influence of teachers upon chil dren is deep and ineffaceable. A ner vous or ill tempered person is not fit to teach school, b-uch a teacher commits the gravest and cruellest offences against the child nature. They magnify every childish caper or frivolity into a grievous ffront, and fret themselves into a conditi on of nervous tension that practically incapacitates them for control and the little ones for work.

News in Brief.

Lord Roberts declares privately he has wished often his dead son eouid have been with him in South African Campaign. Four little boys in Kdiabu tgh wer<* ordered * birching for beheading 25 fowls. Duka of Argyll tells Xiree crofters he r< quires their arrears of rests io pay the duties oa bis father's estate. The French President] has authorised the Issue of a medal of honour for the market Workmen of Paris, the qualification beiog aq least three years of service. This period, however, may ba reduced in oases of exceptional merifv The first attempt ab telephoning from Brussels to Bordeaux and Lyons was tmda on Tuesday in the offices of the \Pdit Bleu. Complete success crowned (ho experiment. The talk of tha day (says a Paris corres pondent) is the report that on the list of the nominations mads for the Order of the Legion of Honour by the Government Fine Arts department, which will be published on tfao National Fete day of July 14, will be found the name of Mme. Sarah Bernhardb" A Delftgoa Bay correspondent writes :~ Krugei'n Government sent over to Holland ia the Kanz'er 120 destitute widows of Boer* who had fallen in the war. He sent iEisiiractioDS for the women to parade the streets of the Hague and elsewhere in order to ars'isti sympathy for the Boer cause.

I { YEARS I JCME&DM Six Months in Bed in the Wellington Hospital and Undergoes an Operation, but 'Piantekoa ' cures Him, also cures His Daughter of Chicken Pox. Victoria Street. Petone, Nov. 22, '99. Vo Proprietors, Pia.itekoa Remedies. Dear Sirs.—For over three years I have suffered from Bydafcids ar;d Enlargement of the Liver. Two years ago I was admitted to the Wellington Hospital, and after careful and thorough examination by the doctors, it was dtjcided that I should undergo an operation. My condition at that time was very low, my liver being swollen to such an extent that the doctor outlined it on tha skin with a psncil. I remained in the Hospital six months, most of the tinu confined to my bed, and although every attention was bestowed upon me by the doctora and others, 1 left that institution very lit le improved in health. However, 1 resumed my usu*l occupation at the local Gasworks, but shortly after waa compelled to l?y up again, this time with Jaundica in addition to nay old complaint. Yon can readily understand my condition was awful. I suffered terribly with pain in the stomach and bowels. Tha feeling ustd to bo of a sinking nature, with gnawing sensations in the pit of tha stomach, usmlly coming on about an hour after mealß. No medicine [tried did me any perm \ncni good, until I used your wondeifut PL&NTEKOA. ! This medicine seemed do attack the disease almost at ■ noe, and atter giving it a fair tdal, it las fulfilled my highest expect**; tbns. The pain at the stomach is gone, my liver has resumed its natural state, the jaundice has disappeared, and any skin h now quite clear. My appetite is splendid, and 1 can eat and sleep and work now with pleasure and comfort. I might albo | add to this notethat while rising Piantekoa, j we gave sohh to our little girl, who had the chicken pox very badly. In coojunell tion with Piantekoa Ointment, a cure was soon brought aboufc. I give you this testimonial of my own free will, and shall be pleased to answer any enquiries relative to ray case, either personally or by letter.
