1t was O'Clock. u. nl., when the party
arose from the table and there was but one
opinion among the guests as to the social
and cuisine features Of the evening. The
bill Of fare speaks eloquently for itself.
Certainly no more elaborate dinner has
ever been spread in this city and the vari-
ETY. Of game was feature that has never
been equalied. The arrangement Of the
courses and thcirservice was in the highest
style of the art, while the preparation
Of the dishes was most skillful and tooth
some. 1t requires no slight experience
and knowledge Of the art astronomical to
arrange such /. dinner to the comfort of
those who propose to Cit it through. Tho
French aspiration to quit the table ''hun-
cry and happy after thirty course din

say that eac, succeeding course was relish
ed with stimulated appetite is to pass the
highest encomium on Capt. Power, tho

the Latest Story of tho Adventlsts.

1t is claimed by several people who were
in attendance upon their watch services at
the Seventh Day Adventists' tabernacle
Battle Creek, Mich, on New Years
eve, that an angel made it's ap-
pearance at one of tho large windows
and was distinctly seen for full mo-
ment. The attention Of those present was
attracted toward it by brilliant light
which streamed through the window. It
is described by those present as dressed in
flowing white garments, and with halo
about his head from which radiated the
most brilliant light. so bright that those
who looked upon it were dazzled and fas-
cinated by it, being unable to take their
gaze off from it until it disappeared as
suddenly as it appeared.

A BIG LRGACY.

But Only the Flgmeat OF . Bohemian Brain
There was published in several Phila-
delphia papers about the middle of July
last long narrative concerning tho good
fortune Of . young man named William j.
Carlin, living at No. 2,O11 Mount Vernon
street, who had fallen heir to An estate left
By his uncle, an Australian cattle king,
and valued at "a, ,O0O, 900. The story was
told in a circumstartial manner, giving a
history of the alleged uncle, his sudden
death, the finding Of the will, the efforts
of the lawyers to learn the whereabouts
of the heir. and finally how Mr.. Carlin
was surprised by receiving a letter from
"Tabor, Wales & Perry, solicitors, of Al
Strand. London" acquainting him of the
good fortune. Tho only perceptible flaw
in the story was the allegation that the
cattle king (Carlin) was witness for the
claimant in the Tichborne case, and con-
tributed s1OO. 600 toward the expenses of
that celebrated contest-both Of which
statements were incorrect.
It was astonishing to find how we'll Mr..
Carlin became known after tho news Of
his great wealth had become public prop
erty. and how much attention could be
paid to him. Letters f1owei in from
charitable societies. begging impostors,
and from ladies, old and young, who had
sinxularly awakened to find that they we're
deeply in love with the young millionaire
and anxious to unite their fortunes with
his. Nearly two hundred missives of this
character, many Of them inclOsing photo
graphs. were written to him. Carlin is a
fine looking fellow. tall and well built.
The girls sliowcrcil their attentions upon
him last summer ut Atlantic City, where
he spent few weeks.
1t has cked out that the tale was fabri-
cation. 1t originated in the fertile brain
and empty pocket Of Lucius Maynard, a
Bohemian journalist, who skedaddled
from the town in August last, after llav-
ing embezzled some $3.50 from the wife of
DR.. Buchanan. One day when hard up
he conceived the story. wrote it out in cic-
cumstantial style, frightened it with
blazing hc;.dliness and peddled it
among tine newspaper Offices until a
purchaser was found. 1t was this
same man Maynard who assisted
in substituting corn report for the Bible
on which witnesses were sworn at the
central station in order to write a long
yarn detailing, how it had been changed by
witness to avoid perjury. He also fixed
mp sensational story concerning the
Warner and Merritt fruit steamer TrOpic
having taken out implements Of war to the
Cuban insurgents. This publication insti-
gated Spanish man. Of war to fire ON an
other of the same line of steamers. and
started row between Spain and the
Tinted States

The audience Of few Hundred people

that even the name Of Remenyi would at

and SO it was that the great Hungarian

the entertainment gOOd-naturedly OBJ

the most prolonged and genuine out

feel consciousness Of the lameDess of its
tribute to the artists genius, and in every
instance he was forced to respond to the
most enthusiastic demonstrations of favor.
NJ. Remenyi's selections comprised the
Andantc and Finale from MendelssOhn's

JOHN HUNTER accepts the nomina.
tion of the committee of one hundred re
formers in Philadelphia Mr.. Caven
holds back his acceptance until after the
Republican nominations to-day. at which
it is very certain that neither he nor Mr..
Hunter will be endorsed. This presents a
political situation which makes Republi-
can success in Philadelphia in February
very far from the certain thing which it
was claimed to he when the Republicans
were expected to confirm and elect the
committee Of one hundreds selections.
As it now stands this famous committee
seems to have sat down upon two stools
and fallen between them. Hunter and
Caven were too decent for the regu-
lars and have been rejected by the poll
ticians; their rejection will intensity
the feeling of disgust felt at the
masquerading Of Stokley's name in a
reform guise; and, altogether, the
committees work is in bad
way to De ratified. The Democrats cam
not endorse Caven and Hunter, ilandi-
capped with Stokley. The Republicans
will not accept the reformers even to aid
Stokley, and the reformers are not likely
to give themselves much trouble to elect
the worst one of their ticket, who
was selected with much protest in their
own1orgauization, and who is the only
part of it that the managers endorse.
Things could not have shaped themselves
much more auspiciously for the success
of the whole or part of a strong Demo-
cratic ticket, selected with harmony of
purpose. The only one We have seen
suggested is Furman Shepperd, for
mayor; John r. Read, for city solicitor;
and w. V. McGrath, for receiver OF
taxes. It will do.
