"The cheapest dining room in the city,
| is the claim placarded on house in Grand
street, close to Clinton. The restaurant is
plain room of moderate size, furnished
with common tables and large sideboard.
"We put cloths on the table when we
opened, week ago." said the elderly lady,
who, aided by her son, conducts the estab-
lishment, "but there was such rush of
boys, who were neitherly mannerly nor
| neat, that we had to take them off. We
are fitting up another room around the
corner especially for the boys, and when
that is open we shall reserve this place for
adults
Printed bills of fare were scattered about
giving the following prices A small cup of
tea OF coffe, with sugar and milk, cent /;
a cup of the ordinary size, &C.; bread and
butter, 1c.; soup, 1c.; a slice of corned beef,
1c.; baked or boiled potato, 1c,; cabbage,
1c.; baked beans, 1c.; boiled or fried mush,
1c.; oatmeal, 1c.; boiled rice, 1c.; quarter
of pie, &c. The quality of all these things
is excellent, but the one-cent portions are
small, yet a fair appetite could be appeased
for five cents, and a ravenous one for ten.
Everything is clean, and the cooking is
good.
=" Who supports this charity ?" was
asked Of the woman.
"Charityn' she exclaimed, "why, lis
this isn't a charitable institution it is
business enterprise, and guess it is going
to pay. The margin for profit is small, as
you may imagine, but it will be enough to
live on if the crowds come as they have been
coming. We have to buy close, and waste
nothing, but by careful management there
Is profit On every cents worth we are
selling"
Thee newsboys entered noisily, seated
themselves at table, as party of demon
strative but unnaccustomed fellows might
in De.monico's, and perused the bill of
fare. One ordered corn beef beans, cup
OF coffee, and cruller, at total cost OF
four cents. One nau a large cup of coffee
and quarter of pie at the same cost. The
third more recklessly ordered cup of cof-
fee, bread and nttel, beans, corn beef,
RULER, fried shominy, a potato, and a dough-
nut an expenditure of eight cents but
ne became gorged before the food was all
eaten, and, in spite of hard gulping, half
the doughnut and third of the potato
were left.
Boys are cur principal customers"
said the woman, "and we have rush of
them about or 6 o'clock but at break
fast and lunch time we have good many
working men and women. Why, sir, at
the rate we are starting out, I dom know,
but Well occupy whole building in few
months.''

Poker Joe's" Ten Commandments.

A correspondent writing from Central
City. near Deadwood, gives the lstest Back
Hills version of the Ten Commandments,
which have become the common law of the
land:
We had to hang a man here the other
day. We had been putting it off on ac-
count of lack of time and bit of senti-
ment, till the morals of our town had be-
come as bad as those of Chicago: In all
camps and towns IN the Hills there are GER
tain understood things. They form a sort
of second Ten Commandments and read as
follows:
1. Thieves and robbers will be driven
out of camp for the first ofense-hung for
the second.
2. The man who picks quarrel had bet
ter pick up his traps.
8. Men convicted of murder shall be
hung On the same day.
i. Passing bogus money will entitle
cnap to pass out of town, everybody taking
kick at him as he goes.
Z. w TIaUn
s. No Sinking in an Indian fight.
8. ALI notes of hand must be paid when
due, or down goes the maker.
10. Rebelling against the legal authority
of the town shoves the rebel out and con-
fiscates his claim.
Most any man can live up to these laws
and not shed hair, and the man who does
not mean to will, sooner or later, be choked
| to death.
