Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1885-10-09

In view of the report of the
Grand Jury upon the printing con-
tract, we would suggest that the
District Attorney bring suit against
the APPEAL for the amount claimed
by the jury to have been overpaid
and make a test case. This would
settle the question raised at once,
aud be a short and easy way to ar
rive at the facts.

4 resident banker who attende

A resident banker who attended
the Bankers Convention in Chicago
declares that there never was a po-
litical convention where everything
had been more perfectly arranged
to carry point or nominate can
didate. than in that convention to
make an anti-silver showing to the
country. He further says the ig
norance of current facts manifested
by many of the speakers was sim
ply humiliating. Further. it was
ruled by an unfair if not posi-
lively dishonest spirit. When the
fve-minute speeches were decided
upon, it was easy for an anti-silver
man to talk fifteen minutes, while
silver advocate was promptly
choked off at the end Of five min
utes. The impression given was,
that if that convention represented
the bankers Of the United States.
they we're a hard crowd. This is
the more valuable because it IS a
bankers view.-Salt Lake Tribune.

Ada Rehan has evolved a now order OF
acting which may DO called tho art of flop.
The knack of dropping all in a heap at the
slightest pr~ovoeation has been brought to
perfection by Miss Rehan, and in aLove on

Of furnishing every modern convenience.
She fiops upon lounges, chairs, settees, divans,
and, as the sporting men say, comes up smil'
ing when the spasm Is over.
No one, it Is needless TO say. can COLLAPSE
50 spontaneously as Rehan. She Is both en-
phatic and lymphatia. She aspires and ex
pires with recurrent grace. She flames and
faints with ~pendulous uncertainty and tri.
~umphant jellihood.
Tho comedy under her flop yibrates like a
springfield. 1t is sat upon, in every corner,
and. before it ends becomes n delicious incar-
nation Of the divine Rumple.
Rehan can alternate the azure piqunncy Of
the cash girl with the last gasp Of the NOR.

The general rarely fails, at every dinner,
to tell a story entitled new to those within
hearing; and on a recent occasion he said
as part of the discussion Of the deviled crabs,
tsrrapin stews, canvas-back duck and other
things which were served in style; Thore is
a vast deal OF imagination about ono's appe.
tits. The place in which a dish is served
often imparts as much flavor as anything
uncommon In the dish itself. Some OF the
customers OF n noted New York cook imag-
Inc that he Is unapproachable.
The last time Phil Sheridan was In town
be remarked 10 a friend, as they were eating
In their hotel, hat there was only one place
In America whore roast chicken could be
provided to exactly suit the requirements Of
his taste. Tho friend said that was all bosh
that a tender fowl put on a hot fire was
sure to come out palatable, and no amount
Of skill could accomplish anything more.
But Phil insisted that the restaurant Of the
cook referred to was the exclusive place In
which the thing could be done in prime
style, and he invited the other to test the
question with him the next evening.
At the appointed time. six or seven gentle
men sat down to a dinner, Of which the chief
dish was roast chicken. During that i'm.
portant course, Phil aitsrnated his mouth
fuls with Mandatory remarks, asserting tho
delicacy Of the flavor, the tenderness Of the
flesh, the daiutiness Of the cookery, and so
on, until somebody's irrepressible grin set the
table in a roar. The swindle was uproar-
iously exposed. The particular chicken SET
before Phil was ~bogus-not a chicken at all,
except for the akin and the bones, the rest
Icing a clever structure Of veal and pig, in
imitation of the fowl, and i~mpregnated by
chicken gravy.

Extraordinary Conduct of -Four solemn
Looking Men In q Restaurant

From the New York sun.
There is a painstaking and impulsiye
waiter in a well known restaurant up
town, whose only anxiety in life is APP
p~Arcntly to please his customer. He is
one Of those aggressively polite men who
knows exactly what you want before you
have decided yourself. and who ruahes of
to get It before he understands what you
want -Four men walked solemnly into
the restaurant last night, bowed to him
s~nvely. and sat down at one Of his tables.
He rabbed his napkin over it npidly,
smiled all round. leaned back with his
hand on his hip, and said eheerfully:
well, gents, what is III Somethin'
good27
Yes" said the most sole~mn-looking
man in the party; "In have some"
"Yessir; certainly. sir; right away, sir. -
And see here. interrupted another
man. II want mine well done, do you
understand And bring me some anchovy
sauce with il and make hat two bottles

remarked the third man conidentially to
the waiter, and have the heads stewed
in butter before you bring them"
We'll growIed the fourth man in a
deep voice. why don't you bring the
things and not stand looking at us2 Hur-
~ up; get awayl'
'Yo-ye-ye-ycssir." He looked a
BIT pathetically at the four solemn men
and then hurried down to the other end
Of the room. Here he thought very
hard for a long while, and glanced back
apprehensively at the men, who stared at
him with all visible signs Of anger. The
head waiter asked him what he was stand
around about. and the cooks laughed at
him. Then he came back very obsequi-
ously and said:
You'll excuse me, gents, but | didn't
quite get that order"
Upon this the solemn man exhibited
the most intense annoyance. II told you
eight distinct times he said, speaking
very rapidly, while the Others chorused in
at intervals, ITO bring me some stewed
oysters fried on toasted half shells. with
mushrooms and e. worth of soap. along

But yelled the waiter, W. haven't

jumped to bis feet. nor chicken. nor

With which the four men overwhelmed
the waiter with approaches, and quit the
house.
