Twenty-Five new residences, will be
needed in Baton Rouge, ~ soon as they
can be built. II is notorious fact, that
1t is next to impossible toIGnd houses to
rent il the Capital. ThT, too, before
the State officers have moked here and
while the railroads are only in process of
construction. 1t is reasonable to expect
that as soon rs the Government Head
quarters have been established here
and the Pacific Railway unites her with
the outer world, Baton Rouge will he

1t isn't much wonder shat men are
scarce in some of the places of New
England. There is a report from
Connecticut ola girl of twenty-five
who has already had three husbands
and is looking around for more. This
is too much enterprise in locality
where thousands of women can't find
men at all. 1t seems as if more men

DELMONIC0 AND HIS PATRONS

The late Colonel Fisk, was not
a regular patron Of Delmonico's. He
went further up town, but now and
then he spilled over from his bowl of
bounty there. On one occasion, at
4:3o p. M, he called at the office.
<" Charley" said he, 81 want "a tip

all that sort of thing, served in
the Erie building for $50 men at 6:so

"That's two hours from now"
"Well, great deal can be done in
two hours" 4"
"All right, Colonel, III do it, but
it will be an expensive job for you."
''Who said anything about the cost?
You do it, and I'll pay for it,
OF course the luncn was served and
equally, of course, the $1,000 bill was
paid.
At another time, when Fisk was
working up the Ninth regiment, ball
was given at the Academy, and Fisk
was anxious that Delmonico should
furnish the supper. He declined on
the ground that there was no profit
in it.

monico.
"All right" said Fisk, "I'll take
500 supper tickets" and he did.
The ring potentates never favored
Delmonico's uptown house much, but
spent thousands of dollars in the
Chambers street place. Peter B.
Sweeny used to 60 there when he
wished to be quiet and by himself.
The last time he called he nearly
completed bargain with Delmonico
by which the latter was to take Peters
Thirty-fourth street property for a
restaurant.
When Tweed's daughter was to be
married the old man called on Del
monico two months in advance. and
without mentioning terms, simply
said: 81 want supper, good one,
tor my daughters wedding, 500 peo-
pie. Good day." The day after the
supper was served he called and paid
for it.
" Do you keep your people long
time" Mr.. Dclmonico was once
asked.
"Some of them."
"The cooks-how about them >"
"Well, 1pay the present head cook
about $4,000 year his predecessor
$4,000. The other cooks get from S1s
