SHOOING AWAY HOTEL WAITER Inirenlon Mechonlcnl Device Per form Services In n Magical Wy. A French Inventor who has achieved a reputation for desiqnlng electrical con veniences, principally for the household, has Incorporated a number of these de vices Into a house which he calls the "electric home." This has attracted a great deal of attention, and the Inventor now proposes to put Into operation In Paris an electric restaurant and hotel, the chief feature of which will be the total absence of waiters. According to tho Scientific American the name "Elec-tro-Ferla" has been chosen, all of the services are centrallfled In the basement. Here all of the apparatus required for the service of the restaurant and the bedrooms Is arranged so conveniently that the operator can promptly supply the needs of any guest by pressing a few electric buttons. Three or four minutes are occupied by a maid In carrying up breakfast or the morning mall to a guest lodged on the third floor. With the elec tric system tjie same service can be per formed In ten seconds by an almost mo tionless operator. When a guest awakes In the morning his first desire Is to know what Mme It Is. Without rising, he touches a button at his bedside nnd Immediately tho time appears on a large luminous dial pro jected on the celling. If It is time to begin the new day, another button Is pressed and a voice, Issuing from the electric chandelier, askB what is wanted. The guest, still lying In bed, calls out to tho ambient air, without using a tele phone, "Open the curtains and shutters, let in the air; it Is too warm. Send mo a cup of coffee and my letters," etc. Theso orders are promptly obeyed. The cur tains and shutters open and. flood tho room with light. The top of a chiffonier, placed beside tho bed, turns and extends Itself over the bed to form a convenient table. The breakfast and tho letters ap pear on the chiffonier, and, in less than a minute, all of your desires ore satis fied, for your room Is connected directly with the basement, where the operator has at hand the means of furnishing everything that you require with a mini mum of delay and exertion. The restaurant of the hotel Is served In tho same manner. Each small table, for two or four persons. Is provided with a dictagraph, which Is placed In the lamp shade. You touch a button and a voice from the lamp shade asks what you wish. You give, your order In a loud voice, v 1th out putting your mouth to a telephone. A silvered platter in the center of tho table sinks and presently reappears, laden with tho food you have ordered. As soon as you have helped yourself, tho platter again sinks and In twenty seconds re turns with the dishes ordered by your neighbor. The plates, etc., are changed, In a very convenient and practical man ner, by means of a little dumb waiter with shelves. The promptness and rapidity of tho service are duo to the Ingenious arrange ment of tho basement. The kitchens are close beside tho service elevators. Tho serving tables and dish racks aro placed at intervals of sixteen feet,' tind each supplleit ton restaurant tables, or forty guests, wha can thus be served by a single waiter. In addition, an "omnibus" waiter is provided for every eighty guests, .for the work of changing plates, etc. Each guest receives, with his order, a check which is numbered to correspond with his Individual push-Dutton. Pay ment may be made to a casnler nt the door, or by means of the aervlca eleva tor according to tho system adopted. Tables with twelve seats, for dinner parties, will bo operated In the same manner, except that each dish will move along tho table- to the person who has ordeird It, guided by the unseen maltro d'hotel with the aid of a wide-angle peri scope. The visitor to the basement will see the dishes of food coming automatically from the adjacent kitchens to the hundreds of little elevators' that communicate with the restaurant and the apartments, and soiled dibhes going automatically from the elevators to tho electric washing ma chines. The plan adopted for the electiir hotel Is the result of long study and research on the part of Its projector, M. Georgia Knap, III collaboration with M. Danger, tho well known Parisian architect. The bedrooms are constructed and arranged on an Ingenious system, which allows tb little elevators to reach the rooms without- wasting space or making themselves conspicuous. The rooms are separated by corridors two feet wide. In which the electric wires and tho hot and cold water pipes arc placed. There are no radiators In the rooms, which are heated by a no .-1 system involving no complicated appa ratus. Danger )t fire Is eliminated by placing all wires and pipes in conduits of fibre-cement. Philadelphia Ledger. No longer will Omahans hark back to tho time when William Jennings Bryan visited Omnha nt tho start of his first presidential campaign, or when Buffalo Bill stepped out of this town Into fame with his Wild West show. From now on, time will be computed from when the Castles, tho silken clad, graceful, dancing Castles, cumo to Omaha end took It by storm, with their own version of the tango, tho maxlxe and tho hesitation, and leaving in their wake Omaha's W.na nimble-footed lovers of tcrpslchore floundering patiently in attempts at imi tation. Tho Castles have come and gone. " And Omaha, the diamond stickpin In tho bosom of the west, Is now again broken out all over with tango rash, maxlxe fever and kindred ailments. What Omaha had before was only tho symptoms. Now It has tho real thing, and tho odd part of It all Is that nobody wants a doctor. What We Novr llnve. We used to have the maxlxe. but since Vernon and his wife came to us, we have the "tawn-gow," and tho "ma ceccc." And tho "tawn-gow" and tho "ma-ccece" has It over the tango and the maxlxe llko chorus girl's rogue. More than 250 persons saw the Castles and their company of dancers yesterday afternoon. More than 2,600 saw them last night. And theso 2,750 eye witnesses to why New York did It were able In a remarkably short space of time to lnnoc ulate the entire city. Omaha Is not tango mad. it's Just got tho dance-bug biting it. There aro several persons In the city who have had converse with some one who saw the Castles, who are able to keep their feet quiet. They're paralysed. Mnslt- Stnrtn tUi Feet. When Europe's colored orchestra that's some band, too started off on "I Ixve the Cows nnd Chickens" yesterday, every grown male In the Auditorium wished he'd voted for tho Auditorium bonds so wc could have a municipal tango palace. When that same band be gan all of those other fcct-tttckllng melo dies. Auditorium stockholders feared for the safety of tho floor. That's Just to show you whether the Virginia reel, the schottlsche and those other ancient ones will ever come back. Thero were a lot of folks In the Audi torium who thought they could tango and maxlxe until yesterday. But since they've seen Vernon and his wife, they've changed their minds and are doing a llttlo practicing before they mako any more rash statements. Just ns Easy. As the Castles do It, tangoing Is awfully easy. Why, with Europe's orchestra, a wooden legged"1 hippopotamus ought to outdo Tcrpsio herself. Their dancing is not an exhibition of gymnastics or acrobatics. It's simple, r ihjmkal, beautiful pastime There havo been professional dancers here before who claimed to tango, but after a look at the technique of the Castles, one may be sure that all others are simply spoof ing us. Now you know why Mr. and Mrs. Ver non are taking about ll.WO to a national depository every day. There was tho Castle walk, tho tnngo, the maxlxe, tho hesitation, the gavotte, the bacarole, and several others not Olgnlfled with special names. But every one will be practiced today In Omaha, and everyone brought a volley of enthusiasm last night. Other Who Dnnrril. Jane Ott, who teaches New York' ex cluslvo set; HoKon llrrr, who Is wanted at all swell affairs; Margaret Gortay, Dorothy Tnylor, Raymond Klrwan, Ster ling Pile, all names to conjure with In places whore a good time Is wanted and expense forgotten they were all on ex hibition before Omaha yesterday, and Omaha's society folk appreciated them, every one. These people whoje nimble tect have put them before the American public as prominently as a Bryan or a Hucrta were given an ovation. They will have followers here. After the regular program of dances, the Castles gave Omaha dancers nn op portunity to show off their skill, and while doliig so, the Castles gave them pointers. The Omahans who danced wore: Annabclle St. Claire, Helen Kroner, Ircn Walker, Adeline Kcllcy. R. D. Clyde, Irene Ratchford, Mrs. Edythe Younglof, Mrs. Ida Farnham, Mrs. M. Petersen, Miss Chambers, Harry Walker, Reynold Gates and Prof. W. E. Chambers.
