HOTEL LIVERIES.
A GENERAL'S PROTEST.
Genebai. FREDERICK Funston, who captured Aguinaldo, the Filipino insurgent, and who had command of the San Francisco situation after the earthquake of 1906, declined to stay at- the Hotel Baltimore, in Kansas City, on the ground that the pageboys were dressed in the uniform of the United States army captains. The Baltimore is one of the most luxurious hotels in America, and in known as the WaldorfAstoria of the West.
Every officer," exclaimed the general, " should take pride in his uniform and resent it when the uniform is aped. Army officers will boycott the hotel until the page-boys are given a new livery." General Funstpn says it is high time for prison guards, motor-cycle police, and hotel lift-boys to stop imitating army uniforms.
