V ANCIENT OLD HOSTELBIES BUSY Hoalrlrr Where Kin John Pat I'p Stray -ot-a from Peahen la St. Albans to fo la Gala boroa.h. ST. ALBAV'S. England, Sept. 2T.-As full of charm and welcome to the wanderer to day are some of the inns of old England as ever they were In the days of the pic turesque roach and horseback locomotion. To be sure, mine host rarely stands now In the doorway, as he Is pictured In some of the old prints, but his greeting;, when he Is In personal attendance, Is polite or hearty as befits the occasion, and that of his son. daughter or servant Is respectful and Is distinctly a welcome. There Is not about It that air of tolerance only which too often characterizes the personnel of the small country hotel at home. Only once In the course of rambles In the J south, the north and the midland counties a) of England has the writer on the present visit come upon one of the "accommodat ing" landlords with whom all are familiar who travel at times arpong the small com munities of the VnlCed States, and that time, to be strictly accurate, was at what khould be described rather as a small hotel than aa an Inn. It was at a smatl summer ing place In Yorkshire and should have been an Inn, but the two summer hotels of the resort were too much In their preten tlou dignity for this, the third and last and eldest of the three of the public houses of the place, or rather, It should oe said, too much for the modesty of the landlord, so he called his inn a hotel. Vnon beln asked If he had a room for the traveler: on a crowded Saturday night when ht competitors were overrun with week-enders; he turned to his young woman clerk and asked her It seemed as if a bit of New York state or Connecticut or Long Island- had been momentarily transported to the neighborhood of old York If she could ''accommodate the gentleman with a loom." She could, shs could even give him a choice of rooms. But usually the recep tion at the inns is of the more agreeable kind, and furthermore it does not mean the exorbitant bill which la too often forth coming from the hotels in the larger Eng lish cities, even as In those of France. Indlfthera Is a quality of the admin istration of these Inns which one cannot help feeling would be welcome at home, van in some larger hotels there, and It Is met with almost at the door.

It must be confessed, at home. One can scarcely help thinking about thq English inns, once at St. Albans, for they fairly cluster here, though It Is only a short run from London. Here at St Albana une touches the days of the Great Charter, the Wars of the Hoses and the Roman occupation of Britain all in a bunch without doing any right seeing in the typical sense, and finds modern com fort at ancient inns at the same time. Sit down for tea In the shaded rear gar den of a unique inn, the Hound House, as it Is famllllarly called, although Its form is hexagonal: Ye Old Fighting Cocks, with Its proud and undisputed claim to being the oldest Inhabited houBe in England, an inn whose front yard is a bewildering mass of multi-colored flowers growing shoulder high. Before you is the ancient British Causeway, over which the Roman soldier Christian - or Christian soldier St. Alban passed to martyrdom In A. V. 303, and you wulk across It later to the remains of the Roman walls near which systematic excavations are soon to be begin In the confident hope of revealing valuable arch aeloglcal remains. ' Could there be a better name for an Inn than Ye Old Fighting Cocks, with the sign of the pugnacious birds swinging from the roof over lhe narrow street and within a few paces of the place cf service of the comforting cup that cheers? A great place for inn names is St. Albans. What could be better than the Bonnie Snood, or In deed the Peahen? As fine, those, as that of Ye Old Shiplaunch In Loggerhead Yard, Whitby; with Its outside painting of some ancient ship launching and the figure of "The Smuggler" In bold relief set into Its street wall below. Tllb Peahen, sad to relate, has been re built and so modernized that one almost feels himself In a metropolitan hotel and docs not wonder at the line of automobiles drawn up in front of It at the tea hour. One can hardly escape the reflection that sooner or later the name, too, must be re constructed. How can a gentle peahen stand before the motor car? Not so with the robust name, the Oeorge, on an inn a few yards away, es tablished in 1401. One can fancy It stand ing while the roster of England's kings endures. Its commodious courtyard Is Inviting from the street and the Inn Itself Is entered not from the sidewalk direct, but from within, the passageway to tho court, like the abode of the concierge in a Paris residence. Nor I this sug gestion of over-channel customs the only reminder in St. Albans of the land which England once largely owned and .a hand ful of whose people once conquered Eng land. The French Influence In the archi tecture of the town is so marked as to burprise a visitor fresh from or familiar with, old French towns, who has Inter medlWtely cooled an appreciative vision by gaxing upon the rectilinear structures of modern English places. Nor does one have to leave Ills subject of the Inns to behold the French Influ ences. Just around tho corner but one should not go ao hastily here, for on the way Is the Red Lion inn everywhere In England there Is a Red Lion Inn, if not all as are well known as Washington Irvlng's at Stratford and Its rooms and halls are charming with delightful old prints of coaching and the tuase and bird shooting and old English life and customs. So the Red Lion deserves a visit. Just around the corner, however, Is the "Old French Row" of houses, a relic of the early days, and adjoining the Fleur de Lis Inn. where King John put up. Down on the channel coast, where the people are in dally communication with France, the buildings are for the most part distinctly English, but here in the street of tho old French row. and elsewhere In St. Albans, on every hand appear buildings which bring to mind old cross-channel structures. The Red Lion, more modern and un doubtedly more comfortable than any an cient Inn knew how to be, but with the aape'ct and feeling of traditional ease pre served, looks out upon the tower plaxa, and Itself towers above the Fleur de Lis, but Is humble and .refreshing. So near to the old French Row it seemed not strange to find here in tue Red Lion a French waiter, though the wanderer might go for a year and a day among tha Inns of the small English towns and never find another one. Usually It Is the English countryman or country girl, sometimes the landlord's son or daughter, who Is encountered at service In the Inns. Our Frenchman therefore had the Inter est In this place of novelty. And how proud ha was when he produced the salad dressing. One quickly drops tha habit of expecting vinaigrette or French dressing at British country hotels. Travelers era not aven expected to make .this dressing for themselves. But when oil and vinegar were asked for Francois's face beamed. He fetched tl dressing prepared. Instead, and sat it Down with a smile of satis faction. "I have made It myself." he said. For things F.ench he was all alert. Not ao for things Liiglivb. What county was St. Albans In? It was In Hants. That much he knew, and in that form he knew it Hampshire was a world and territory to him unknown. He brought to mind be cause, as -the Irishman said, he was so dif ferentan old English waiter and general factotum at the Royal hotel at Slough, to whose devoted head at least the last seven years have not brought seven gray hairs and who fits Into his place at that inn for though hotel by name, an Inn It Is still as though for seventy years he must have worked there. If Indeed he did not acquire his post by descent. "There's no trouble carvln' when there's enough to carve," says he to the traveler reluctant to tackle for himself the huge Joint of roasted beef, red and Juicy, which takes up the places of two people on the long table. Later he brings your modest bill receipted, as are nearly all the Inn bills In England, "with thanks," a delicate at tention In penmanship which strikes the American afresh each time by its recurring novelty. It Is met with In the north as in the south. Ah! those Inns of the north. A feeling of comfort and well being comes over the wanderer at the very sight of The Fox, at Oulsborough, without so much as enter ing. It; quaint, picturesque, of little stature, with small windows, agreeable to look upon In Its coat of yellow that some of our handsome colonial buildings have. The Fox is a Joy to the memory. And what complaisance In the name not The Fix Inn, the generic term Is unnecessary to the Identification of the ancient hos tlery; Just The Fox, with Its old tlmo mount for the stage coach passengers, and such hoteback travellers as cared not to vault Into their saddles or were unable to do so after the copious entertainment of the tap room. The mount Is not a car riage block, but a flight of solid stone steps, the treads hollowed by the feet of genera tions and It stands close to the Inn wall. Indicating the conditions of the days when there were no sidewalks and the tavern was veritably by the roadside. There Is another Inn of rugged name at Gul.'borough. The Buck, but a sight of the titular animal over the door makes one glad that The Fox Is unplctured, while thoe seeking gentler names can find The Black Swan Inn. Just over the way. Perhaps it Is the Inn habit, fallen Into In rambling In the country, that lead 3 one back during a stop over In London, to dine again among Americans at Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese, which perhaps may still rank as an Inn, though existing now only as an eating and drinking place, and as its proprietor will tell you, owing Its continued existence-only to American visi tors'. But it was a visit well repaid, this last one to the Cheshire Cheese. There sat in one corner an American couple of the type some times seen and heard aboard in the land. She was sharp featured and woro bowed spectacles wUh heavy gold frames. She hadn't seen forty nor l.ad sue long been married. He was fat, slightly, with a voice as heavy as hers was sharp and with that finality of intonation that settles great publio ques tions on the cracker box of tha village store. One might guess that she had the money had saved It and that be had not been uncom clous of the fact when he wedded her, but that he was not going to let a little thing like that diminish his dignity or self-esteem. She- wanted to know which corner Dr. Johnson had sat In. She was In It, but hadn't read the tablet. He called the waiter, a nviv and young one, who mado up in volubility what he lacked In Instruc tion in that part of the history of the place of which American visitors are avid. "Boy: where did Ben Johnson sit?" "You mean Dr. Johnson, sir." "Who's he?" while the bride articulated a remonstrance. "He's the man that started the English language, sir; the other one was only a playwright. He used to sit there, sir.' The bride looked around her, pleased, but tried to keep her eye at the same time on a pamphlet which told her of a chair of Dr. Johnson's brought over from the Mitre. "Where Is the Mitre?" she asked. "It Isn't," said the boy. "What's the Mitre?" asked the husband. '.t was. a tavern," said the boy, and hastened to the kitchen for mation. more infor- Pittsburg, Kan., Officers Fined Kansas Supreme Court Finds Police Judge, rouce and Firemen Guilty of Licensing1 Joints.

ST. PETERSBURG. Sept. 19.-A copious outburst of brand new colors In the attlie of strollers In the St. Petersburg streets announces this week the beginning of a fresh year for the academic youths of Rus sla. "flia university and the high schools require all their Inmates to wear distinct ive uniforms and the resumption of theAr studies Is a spectacle proclaimed at large Students for the ordinary university di ploma, classical, mathematical or phllo logical, wear a dark blue baud round their flat-topped cap, black short Jackets with two rows of brass buttons down the front, and bright indigo blue trousers. The poly technic youths have green for their pro fessional color, with a crossed spade and a hammer of brass on their shoulder straps; the commercial school orange, the marine school yellow and black and the military academy red. The typical Russian student Is the unl verslty youth, for is it his personality that stamps Itself chiefly on the life and liter ature of the country. The others have al ready specialized by preparing themselves for their careers In after life, and have to that Intent settled down. The polytech- nlclans furnish frequent exceptions, for though they are ostensibly for railroad work, forestry and mines the prises In those spheres In a state owned system go mostly by ministerial favor and the rank and file of the graduates have ample oc casion for radical agitation. Tho great yellow ochre barrack squares on Vasslllsky Ostroff, which are the uni versity buildings, are the seat of the social as well as the academic life of the students although they may lodge anywhere in rooms in the capital, for there Is do in tramural college residence. The new comers throng the corridors and recreation halls getting used to their fresh uniforms Hundreds of them line up In queues at the doors of the chanceries waiting to be instructed In the complicated process of matriculation. Their passports must be In order, their class fees paid, papers pro duced to show that they have performed their military service. It takes many of them hours to have their status put straight, for the committee of seniors which used to help through the freshmen with counsel learned from experience Is abol ished because of Its alleged subversive activity in national politics. In the main corridor the Btudents group themselves among old school fellows or neighbors from the same province. No tices and advertisements are nailed India criminateiy on the walls. One offers to buy a sword for his uniform, for attend ance at the university constitutes the scholar a gentleman In the historic sense of a person entitled to bear side arms. On festive occasions the minority of well-off students like to don their academic swords not much more formidable than toy dirks to look at. This year the attendance at the university has declined somewhat. The slump In can didates for the military academies which followed the Japanese war has passed off and now the career of an army officer is as fashionable as ever. That has drawn some young men away from the universi ties. During tha height of the political strug gles the universities were an attraction for agitated ambitions which they are not now. Many Russians see in the dimin ished numbers a healthy sign that young people are more willing than they were to look for their life's work outside of government employment. Hitherto the great majority of university diplomas have served their owners only for entry into the lower ranks of the tchlnovnlks, where they were destined to grow old, idle and pen sioned among the myriad drones of the civil service. The university is a democratic Institu tion, and as such Is viewed with nervous apprehension by the old guard at the Im perial court, and especially by the ortho dox church, whose educational system Is kept scrupulously out of touch with uni versity life. Probably less than 5 per cent of the students regard their university course simply as the completion of a lib eral education which they can afford them selves before starting on a comfortable Journey through life. The general antipa thy of the Romanoffs to the university idea causes much of this aloofness of young men of this class. Kaiser Wllhelin and most of his sons have been proud to be students at Bonn, but It is not recorded that any of tha cxar's relations have yet darkened a University door In Russia. Athletics fount for practically nothing In Ruselun student life. There are no uni versity foot ball or rowing clubs, although those games are played by the youth of the business houses here. The minister of education is urging Swedish gymnastics on the schools and colleges, but after boyhood students seem to look otu the exercises rather as Imposed tasks. One of the most entertaining of the younger Russian writers, A. J. Kuprin, writes fervently on the value of boxing In education. It confers quickness, of the eye. hardness of muscle, self-command and good temper. He tells the astonished Russians that two young Americans boxed each other until one had both his eyes com pletely closed up. At the end of the fight he was groping blindly with hir right hand to shake that of his opponent as a token perfect friendliness.
