Extraordinary conduct OF -Four Solemn
Looking Men In n Restaurant.
IN. Y. sunl
There Is a painstalSing and impulsive
waiter In a well-known restaurant up
town, whose only anxiety in life is appar-
emily to please his customers. He is one
OF those aggresSively pol to me who
knows exactly what you want before you
have decided yourself, and who rushes of
to get it before he understands what you
want. Four men walked solemnly into
tae restaurant last night, bowed to him
gravely, and sat down at one Of his tai les.
He rubbed his napkin over it raj lilly,
smiled all round, leaned back with his
hand on his hip, and said, cheerfully:
"Well, gents, what is itS Somethin'
goodi"
ayes" said the most solemn.looking
man in the party; am have some"
"Yessir; certainly sir; ri yht away, SIR"
"And see here" interrupted another
mnn, ~ want mine we'll done, do you un-
dsrstandS And bring me some michovy
sauce with 1t, aud make that two bottles
instead OF one."
"Yessir, certainly SIR. What"
"Be sure and have the tails on mine"
remarked the third man confiientially to
the waiter" and have the heads stewed In
butter before you bring them"
SWELL" growlsd the fourth man In a
deep voice, "why don't you bring the
things and not stand looking at us! Hurry
upl get away"
"Ye-ye-ye-yessir. He looked BIZ
pathetically at the four solemn men and
then hurried down to the other end OF the
room. Here he thought very hard for
long while, and glanced back apprehen-
sively at the men who stared q; him with
all the visible signs Of anger. The head
waiter asked him what he was standing
around about, and the cooks laughed at
him. Then he came back very obsequious-
ly and said:
"You'll excuse me, gents, but / didn't
quite get that order"
Upon this the solemn man exhibited the
most intense annoyance. ~ to d you eight
dis .nct 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 two dollars worth Of soap,
along with some cold buckwheat cakes

nails, half porter-house chicken"

"But," yelled the waiter, tive haven't

"Haven't got oysters" and the man
jumped to his feet, nor chicken, nor toasti
Well, what sort of q restaurant is this
anyhow"
with which the four men overwhelmed
the waiter with reproaches, and quit th'
house.

VALUE OF TURF HORSES.
The Large Sums Won by Thoroughbred
In British Races.


London Standard
The value Of good horse on the turf at
the present time is shown by tho fact that
during the past season no fewer than 80
animals are retu ned as having won over
fl 900 each. In some cases they have won
q great deal over, as, for instance, St
Cat en-, E7,3i2; Harvester, f8,44O; Busby-
body, E0,42j; The Lambkin, fj,Si6. Flor
ence, again, is credited with E5,44O, all Of
which, except 200 guinens, the Queens

SCR0F FUl.A

SCR0f UlA
Usually develops In early life,

dition OF the system, usually
affecting the glands, often re-
sulting in swellings, enlarged
joints, assesses, thickening
Of the lips, enlarged neck, sore

with scrofulous swelling Of the

The superb chair which has been men
toned as having been presented to Gov
ernor Warren by a Chicago firm, is Of
solid mahogany, upholstered with hand
embossed brown leather, in exquisite pat
terms. The legs are handsomely carved
and the fronts of the arms are finished
with brazen lion heads and on the panel
in front is the great seal of Wyoming
carved in the mahogany. The chair is
altogether n grand affair and the seat is
big enough Tor David Davis and yet not
much too larl for Governor Warren. It
is a present to Governor Warren person
ally, and though some one else may oc-
cupy the S%ubernatonal seat he will not
exactly get this chair with his commission,
Governor Warren is proud of the gift,
and well he may be, for it is a splendid
one.

UTAH AND WYOMING CENTRAL.
-Four Millions Invested by New Yorker
in the Bonds.


A Salt Lake Tribune reporter has had
an interview with Mr. j. D. Negus, one
Of the active spirits in the Utah 4 Wyom-
ing Central railroad project, and made
further inquiries concerning the condition
and purposes of the new company. Mr..
Negus stated that 30 much had been said
during the last four years concerning the
project that he did not think it advisable
OIL necessary to say much more until con,
struction work had actually been com.
menced.
When will that be27 inquired the re-
porter.
From present prospects it will be very
soon. We have $1,000 raised among the
Salt Lake stockholders. New York in
vestors have agreed to take the first mort
gage bonds, amounting to about $4,000,
600, which will be sufficient to put the
road in operation. The contracts for the
purchase of these bonds were being made
out when | left New York"

AT Corinne. We will build from that
point eastward. The line from Salt Lake
to Corinne would be of no particular use
to US until the remainder of the road is
completed. We propose to build to the
Wyoming coal fields the first thing"
During the conversation Mr.. Negus
stated there were no relations whatever
existing between the Chicago & North
western and the new company, but the
projectors OF the latter enterprise were
proceeding on the theory that the North
western people would consider it advan-
tageous to enter into a coalition with them

Good Feeding.

The man who supposes he can make
money by poor stock-feeding is good
deal of fool. Especially is this true OF
cattle and other animals used by man tor
food. Horses in good condition and doing
but little work, with not much work eX-
pected of them for months ahead. can be
best treated to limited diet; but gener-
ally-as if to show how sbort-sighted
many men are-they are treated the best
of all farm animals. Many farmer keeps
his horses fat and sleek, while his cows
are forced to 90 hungry and show their
bones at every step. Yet the COWS bring
an income in the winter. if well-fed, and
the horses loaf in warm stables under
blanket with little to do except make a
show occasionally on the road. Common
business sense teaches that the cows, if
ANYTHING, should be the ones to pet in
cold weather. because, in addition to dairy
products and the annual calf, a cow in
good flesh can be turned off almost any
time for beef; and good condition is par
ticulary important when some accident
happens to her which necessitates speedy
killing. But cow cannot give milk I'M
less well fed, because what little she does
get must 60 to supply the waste fthe body
The point with every stock-feeder should
be to see how much can be fed at profit
not how little. When that is regularly
attempted. farmers will be more prosper
Gus than is now the case.

A Pawn Shops Treasures.

"There," he said, leading the way into a
little crowded side office off from the main
room and placing his hand on the combination
of an immense iron safe, ''there is something
valuable. That would interest yon You
like jewery-old jewelry? There are val
uables representing many hundred thousand
dollars in that safe. | have four safes al
together. but this contains the most valua-
bles Time-lock, see?" And he swung the
hinge iron doors open. What a sight. A
miser might have fallen on his knee, and,
running his arms up to the elbows into
Jewels and gold, have died of joy. There
were at least two bushels of handsomely set
rings, bracelets, brooches, diamond studs,
pins and gold watches, some of old and some
of new design. Some Of the diamonds and
other precious stones were exquisite. There
were diamond rings of antique and curious
pattern, and there were settings of rubies,
carbuncles and other precious stones. There
was one ring set with a cluster of very large
diamonds which filled the reporters finger
up to the first joint and was so heavy as to
be uncomfortable. There was a jeweled
necklace of hammered gold, which was worn
by one of the favorites in the court of Lonis
NV, and pair of Etruscan gold ear rings
of fimy texture more than two inches long,
which was once worn by an empress. So the
proprietor of the shop assured the Star
man, and their appearance bore out his state
ment. Then there were many, many old
gold watches. some of them very curious.
There was one little huntng-case watch OF
hammered gold, hand made. not more thar
an inch and a quarter in diameter and about
as thick one way as the other, a unique and
curious little thing, which the Star man was
assured belonged to Martha Washington
having been made present to her by some
notable in England. In another safe were
collected trinkets in still greater quantities
but of less value. Hundreds of silver
watches were thrown together in heaps will
silver spoons, mugs and Advantageous, some
of antique pattern. In vet another safe wa

This Washington silver" the proprietor
told the Star man, he held in pledge TO
$3.50 loaned to the lady who owns it, an hei
of the Washington family. Its intrinsic value
he says is about $780, but its value by as
ISOLATION is of course much greater. Their
was also in one of the safes an Immense
