There are in New York city over a hundred
tables d'hote well known to men about town.
besides at least another hundred OF out of the
way resorts which have their special custom

week dine at these places. They are not the
same persons all the year round. The patrons
OF a table dhote vary as greatly as the guests
at hotel. Each place has its habitucs, who
correspond TO the regular boarders For them
tables or chairs are reserved, and they have
the privilege of chat after dinner with the
proprietor or the walters. Some Of them nav
by the week. Some send In their own wines.
All classes arc represented at the tables

saleTwomen to actors and singers, who live
IN furnished rooms, dine better at tables dihoto

The farmers Of New Jersey are in Il
dilemma as regards the sale of milk
in Philadelphia. The Philadelphia
wholesale buyers have resolved to
purchase Jersey and Gurnsey milk
to the exclusion of milk from graded
stock. 1t is rumored that Mr.. Abbott
an extensive milk dealer, leads in
this measure of excluding purchase
of milk from grade stock. OF course
Guernsey and Jersey cows are high
in price and farmers cannot well af-
ford to buy. Besides this, the New
Jersey State inspectors, while they
have the power to examine farmers
milk, have no such privilege over
the Philadelphia Dealers milk.
Then again, good milk depends al
most us much on rich feeding as
upon stock. Thus the New Jersey
farmers seem completely vanished
by partial legislation and entire de-
pendence upon an antagonistic
combination of city milk dealers.
Farmers of Chester county should
be interested in legislation and their
own business sufficiently to associate
or else they may be melted too.

Farming and stock missing have
entered upon a new era. There is
TO be more free and intelligent dis
eussion, more practical investigation
and sharper criticism of the beef
and milk breeds Of cattle. Under
this searching investigation, the
scrub farmer and the scrub COW will
have to fee to tho woods. The
breeder who never had brains
enough to give him the headache,
nor soul enough 10 interfere with his
digestion, will have to ''go where the
woodbine twincth.'"
The breeds now holly contending
for first place in the dairy world, in
all that the word dairy implies, are
the Holsteins and the Jerseys, and
to the blood Of these breeds will the
dairy farmer look for his improve
ment in stock and profits. Both of
these brrtds have been found to
nick well with the native stock, SO
that in this way great improvement
may be attained where thorough
breds are too expensive for the be-
ginner. These breeds contending
for honois are entirely unlike, and
the one will never I'll the place Of
the other, but there is plenty Of
room Tor both, and each has its spe-
cial sphere-its "specia purpose,"-
to which no other breed is 20 well

The best results in modern dairy
ing will be secured by those WHO il-
diligently seek for better knowledge
of the art Of buttermaking, espec-
tally in connection with the cream
cry system, who feed and keep only
those COWS in which the habit Of a
prolonged and generous flow Of milk
is fixed, and, finally, by those who
insist upon the use ofselectcd grade
cows, gotby pure-bred sires of a
breed Of cattle especially adapted to
butterraaking
The immediate loss of milk by
not supplying full rations of milk
producing food the whole of the
milking season is not the end of the
misfortune. 1t affects the flow of
milk in after years, and counteracts
all efforts at improving the milking
capacity of the cows and their de-
scendants.

Found GUILTY.,

F. Cavrera, Mexican boy, was found
guilty of burglary in Judge Cheney's
Court yesterday. On the evening of the
18th OF May last, G. Lopez and his sister,
who lived at No. 629 Buena Vista street,
went to the theater to see play in their
own tongue. They left the key in charge
of Cavrera, who occupied lodg gings in the
same house, with orders to give it to the
brother.in-law of Lopez. When they
returned from the theater they found that
the room had been looted, the trunk
broken open and $403 and a set of ear
rings taken. Officer Botello kept his eye
on the young man and presently found
that he was spending a great deal OF
money. The ewelry was finally discov-
cred on his person and he was arrested.
The case was heard Tuesday and yester-
day. The jury remained out only ten
minutes and brought in verdict OF
guilty, recommending Cavrera to the
mercy of the court, on account of his
youth and previous good record. He
will be sentenced Monday.

The Southern Pacific's COnstFuc.
tiOn Force Hampered.
One of the greatest impediments that
hampers railroad building in California
is the lack of steel rails. The South
ern Pacific is doing good deal of work
in the San Joaquin Valley, especially on
the west eide, where they are heading
off the Wilbur people, who have an
nounced their intention of building up
north in that direction, but they have
come practically to standstill because
they cannot get rails. The Eastern mills
are not able to supply the demands and
the company has been depending on
them in preference to importing English
steel in spite of the fact that it can be
landed on this coast duty paid even
cheaper than it can be obtained from the
East owing to the transportation charges
across the continent. When Mr.. James
Campbell, of this city, went East
q short time ago to obtain the
material for his Alamitos road,
he found similar difficulties to cope with. D..
He went from rolling mill to rolling mill
in his endeavors to obtain rails, but re-
ceived from all the same reply, that they
had all they could handle for two
months, 30 he was obliged to wait until
the expiration of that tine.

Mr.. J. S. Inglis, the agent for the
Texas and Pacific road at San francisco,
arrived in this city yesterday on busi-
ness trip. When questioned by the
HERALD man as to the ticket war that is
going on in the Bay City, he said: "They
are making some pretty deep cuts, and
buyers can almost obtain their own rates.
When came away tickets could be pur-
chased as follows: To Kansas City $23,
to st. Louis $31, to Chicago $S5, and to
New York $42. The fight is nearly all
on second-class business, first-class travel
being scarcely affected. 1t originated
with the shipment of Chinese. A broker
from Chinatown wishing to send
ten or fifteen Coolies East would
come up town and see if he could
get reductions on the regular rates. 1t
was discovered that one of the COM
panies was obliging them in the matter,
and then the war began. in small way
At first, but will probably as you see, now
become very serious. The Trancontinental
Association and the Interstate Commerce
Commissioners have of course some.
thing to say in the matter, and they are
liable to be heard from at any moment.
The Southern Pacific is not interested in
the fight, as it gets pro rata for every
thing it handles, and can therefore look
ON contentedly."

One Hundred DaVa.

Frank Quinn, one of the boy burglars
recently captured by Detective McCar-
thy, was brought before Justice Austin
yesterday and sent to the county Jail for
100 days. He pleaded guilty to the
charge. Owners have at last been found
for the stolen articles. The case was a
singular one, in the fact that when the
plunder had been secured and the bows
all caught, it was still impossible for a
time to prosecute, as it could not be
shown that the articles were stolen from
any particular person. Two hardware
dealers, Messrs. Hirshfeld and Lazarus,
have now identified the knives and scis.
sors which were in the possession of the
boys.
