WAGES OF FAMOUS COOKS.


Prices Which Rich New Workers Pay for
Culinary Skill-IIow Chefs Dine.
Previous to W. X. Vanderbilts culinary
extravaganza IN hiring $4,000 cook Corne-
Illus was supposed to havo the most expensive
one in town, paying Fred Hemmerle, his
chef, $50 month, the highest salary paid
by any private family in New York. Mrs.
LangtIy is not so far behind. She pays Con-
stant Migirard, who gets up her meals and
travels with her, 800 a month Ogden
Goelet gave Valtat 800, but Judge Water
bury bid little higher and has him now.
John Jacob Astor has Frenchman, Joseph
Pacteau, who gets 800 month and who has
little to do this winter, the family being too
deeply in mourning for oven the smallest
dining. Eliot Shepard, another Vanderbilt
son-in-law, is fond of good cooking, and pays
good prico to Mathes, man who used to
be assistant cook in the Jockey club, of Paris.
Whitelaw Reid is the only newspaper man
who can afford a famous chef as caterer to
his appetite, but he pays good round sum
to have his meals prepared by Gaillet. His
rich father-in-law, d. o. Mills, pays no more
to Menier, who presdes over his dinner par
ties. August Belmont imported his cook
himself, having found him in rather an OBJ
scure Partisan restaurant, and has never had
reason to be dissatisfied with his discovery.
w. B. Astor employs Gustave Berand, and
pays him $125 month. The Marshall o.
Robertses and Bradley Martins have English
cooks, being strictly Anglican in all their ap-
pointments.
When these chefs have a night Off they
never dine in their own place, but seem to
take great delight in sampling the food Of
their rivals. l have seen Fred Hemmerle in
Delmonico's with all the head walters flutter-
ing anxiously about him while he critically
examined the menu, and no millionaire was
as carefully served as he Delmonico's head
cook goes up to the st. Cloud and to the res
taurant of the Hotel Normandie when he has
an evening away from duty, and while he is
dining it's very nearly impossible to get
waited on, for the walters all get nervous and
forget your order while they hang about the
famous cook and wait to see upon what food
doth this our Caesar feed and then rush Off to
the kitchen to see that his orders come up hot
and in perfect shape. l was told on one of
these occasions by hysterical waiter, whom
/ corraled with half dollar and induced
to give me some attention, that these great
cooks order the simplest sort of food. They
adjure most of the sauces and
gravies with which they stimulate the jaded
palates of the public and, looking carefully
over the bill, pick out just those dishes which
require, through their simplicity, perfect
cooking to make them palatable Brooklyn

Held for Court.

CHICAGO, July l9.-W. b. Hoskey, Chair
man of the Grievance Committee of the Chi
cago and Alton road, said to-day that they
had enough evidence to show that Bowles,
Broderick, Wilson and Smith, the alleged
conspirators against the Chicago, Burlington
and Quincy road, are PInkerion men. They
have also learned that not an ounce of dyna-
mite has been exploded on the Chicago Bur
lington and Quincey track.
The prosecution rested when court opened
this morning. Mr.. Ewing said that upon
the strength of the evidence submitted TO the
court, he was content to rest, aud did not
care to make any argument.

ments to show that Godding was not impli-

Sowden's Last Effort.

WASHINGTON, July 19.-imme,liately after
the tariff bill had been disposed Of in Com
mttee of the whole in the House to-day, the
committee ON public buildings and grounds
called up the Allentown public building bill
which was vetoed by the President, and rec
onmended that the measure be passed over
the Presidents veto. In the brief time al
lowed for debate Me- SowIen made speech.
which was much more temperate than it
was expected it would be, considering the
feeling the Allentown member had display
ed when the veto was sent in.
Mr. Blount, chairman of the postoffice
committee, made the lead ing speech in op-
position to Mr. Sowden, and the debate was
not 4 protracted one, the House designing
to settle the question by vote and not by
discussion. Mr.. Sowden, who had drummed
up very respectable support, got III votes
for his side, mostly Republicans the racin-
bers of that side, of course merely desiring
to show their opposition to the President
The negative vote was 81. If he had secured
seven more he would have had he constitu-
tional majority of two-thiris required to
override a veto
The Pennsylvania members voting in the
affirmative were Bayne, Bound, Brumn,
Bunnell, Dalzell, Darlington, Ermentrout,
Hall Hamer, Jackson, Lynch, Mccullough,
Osborne, Patton, Scull, Sowden and Yardly
The Pennsylyanians in the negative were
Buckalew and Maish. Randall, Kelley and
Scott were absent, and Bingham, McCor-
mick, O'Neil and Hiestani did not vote.

Democrats object TO being termed free ira
ders. They say ii is not true that they are
free traders That is true. They are not, in
all things For instance: They opposed
admitting sngar free, q Southern industry,
while admitting wool free, Northern in
dustry. They Disseminated in favor Of their
own household They know that the great
North and West viii have few Congressional
votes, and in all probability no electoral
votes this year for them, and they therefore
arrange the schedule to suit the business in
terests of their friends To this extent they
are not free traders, no more. But the at
tempt that will be made to juggle. as the fact
of their approaching defeat becomes more
and more apparent, must be watched closely
by every lover of his country. In 1880 the
Democracy resolved in favor of a tariff for
revenue only and then a month or two be-
fore the election, when Hancock defeat be-
came morally certain, the leaders shuffied
and juggled and skulked like pack Of COW
ards They are preparing to do the same
thing this year, and they should be made to
fail this year as they failed in lsso. No
skulking this year. Stand up and take your
