Women went into the hospitals and

which our government Ia founded This

annual dinner has become A fixed insti'
tuition. The spectacular performance
pleases the unthlnking people AZ we'll MS
gratlfes the fair boneiactors. Little
Miss Nellie Villas succeeded Nellie Ar
thur az president and the play moves
merrily on,
But there are some who SEQ dan
gerous tendency in all this There are
those who believe II would be wiser and
juster 10 secure conditions whereby the
children Of the poor might have 3O5
good dinners per year instead Of only
one.
The White house dinners under Gen
tleman Arthur's reign we're on princely
scale, on some occasions the revelry and
eating lasted until the morning hours.
The state dining room Of the White
house is a magnificent room. II Is ex-
pected Of the president that he will give
several state dinners during the winter
season. About fifty guests can be seated
at the table Each dinner costs at least
$1,000. There are twelve courses served.
The silver, china and linen are furnished
by the government, but the food and
wine are paid for by the president OF
course the people finally foot the bills.
The extravagant salary Of $4,000 was
appropriated In order to satisfy the grow
ing tendency towards feastlng and gor-
mandizing on a scale Of royal magnih-
cence. The annual expense Of the White
house is 100000 II costs $4,000 TO
light the grounds, $4,000 for care Of the
greenhouse and all these expenditures
are paid for from the United States
treasury.
Some years ago subject Of the British
government came TO America and en-
gagged in the nursery business, I. c., in
nursing an infant industry, His venture
proved more profitable than farming.
The other day this adopted son Of Amer
lea gave a dinner in the city OF Washing
ton, which rivalled in costliness Of viands
and magnhcence Of table service and
decoration, any feast ever given in those
luxurious Roman days just before the
downfall Of that splendid government.
AT this banquet Of our American lord,
there were, mutton from Scotland, fish
from England, and dainties from every
portion Of the globe, all served on Royal
Worcester, Haviland China and elegant
silver. The cut flowers alone cost more
than any Kansas farmer could hope to
earn by long life Of toll and sweat,
even should the palmy days when farm
ing paid be once more restored.
During the first winter Of "JefFersOnian
under the reign Of Grover the
First, the wife Of one Of the cabinet officers
was presented by her brother with $75,-
600, with the injunction that she should
uselt in entertaining in such splendor that
no rival soclety-queen might out-do her
in simplicity.
That same winter the daughter Of one
of the noble families OF the city was
drought out" and the floral decorations
alone, which beautiaed her bringing out
party, cost $4,000.

Monday after Mr.. Astor's death flags
were displayed at half mast on the
two buildings in New York which
have chiefly aided by their OK ,nce in
making the family name a household

He has been a member of the New

by hearsa decked out in all the trap

| set Of men, used to such scenes, stand to-
getheridly talking. In the mouth Of one
of the tenements stand dozen women.

"Indeed she must said another, "or

There is clatter of heavy footsteps on
the stairs, and n rosewood casket comes
humping down on the shoulders of six
struggling men. 1t is rolled into the
hearse, which moves slowly away, and
the first coach takes its place. A wild
shrill cry, half moan and half shrek
of pain, is heard, and out comes the
widow, gaunt faced woman of middle
age. She sways her body to and fro,
and rubs her eyes vicis;isly with her
handkerchief. A crowd gathers around
her, and she is hustled out Of sif ut into
the coach with three other women in
rusty black clothes. A little boy in well
worn knickerbocker0 climbs up in the
drivers seat and there graciously recog-
nizes a crowd of little chaps on the side

BURSTING RESERVOIRS.
The Far West, After Long Exemption
suffers "a Great Calamity.

The Far West, After Long Exemption,
suffers Great Calamity.
The states and territories in the west
ern half of the United States have, in
the last twenty-five years, gone beyond
all previous experience in the rapidity of
dam and reservoir construction; and it is a
matter of sincere congr9tulation that the
disasters have been fewer in proportion
than in any other part of the world.
The recent calamity on the Elassayam-
pa river in Arizona, therefore, comes
with the horror of novelty in that line
In magnitude it falls far below the
Johnstown disaster, as the lives lost do
not exceed forty and the total damage is
probably but little over Sl,000,0 600; but
the nature and cause Of the two calami'
ties were almost exactly the same.
The Hassayampa dam, located about
forty miles by the shortest trail from
Prescott, had been completed for eigh-
teen months and was matter of pride
to the territory. From bluff to bluff the
dam was ll5 feet long at the bottom and
40 feet at the top; its width 0hicknessl
was 10 feet at the top and 10 fect at the
bottom, and its height was 40 feet The
lake thus formed covered some 500 acres
and was supposed to contain 5000 900, 900

feeling The black chief justice Of the
island was away on official duties, much
to my regret. Officially he holds most
exalted post and receives the highest
honors; socially he cannot enter the
dining room of the meanest white trader.
Consequently we have the comical pict-
ure of a negro ostracized by the poorest
white clerk, yet frequent guest of the
first lady of the island-nOt merely on
her lawn, but at her table. The attorney
general, by the way, told me many
things about the negro that confirmed
my suspicion that in spite of centuries
of Christian rule devil worship was a
fact in most of the islands, and even
here under the eyes of an American
bishop.-Barbadoe Letter in New York
Times

4 Man with q Lariat.

A man was found nearly buried in the
sand near San Francisco. Two deputy
coroners could not pull him out A
horseman was sighted. This is what
happcned: He rode up to them, and
when the situation was explained, calm
ly alighted, united long lariat which
was coiled at the back of his saddle, and
without word began TO make one end
of it fast about the upper portion of the
dead mans body The rope was passed
under the arms and tied in knot at the
shoulders. Having accomplished this the
stranger paused, and looked up at the
astonished morgue officials as much as to
say:
"What's the matter with that!'
"What are you going to do next:
asked the deputy coroner.
"Do? Why. Pm going to pull him
out"
"Woll, you might as well give up that
idea" returned the deputy. "It would
take half a dozen men like us to move
that man."
"Maybe it would, replied the stran-
| ger, WlJn Il ClhChls IHfbJ Wdo ttAldliAi
a little out of place, considering the oc-
casion; 'maybe it would take dozen
men such as we are, but it will only take
one horse such as this is"
As he said this he pointed to his steed,
which had hitherto stood motionless,
watching the movements Of his master
with evident interest. Without more
ado the stranger mounted his horse, and
taking turn around the horn Of his
saddle with the free end Of the la5so,
moved slowly ahead until the line was
drawn taut. Then, in response to gentle
clucll from his rider, the animal settled
his feet down into the sand and steadily
bent his strength against the rope. There
was no Jerking. It was an even, steady
nrIl,. Tie line vibrated rapidly under
| the heavy strain as the intelligent equine
hauled away upon it, In moment the
loop frightened about the corpse, and the
body was drawn, slowly at first, then
with swish, from its bed in the sand.
Having accomplished this the mysteri-
ouH horseman removed the loop from the
body, recoiled his lariat, mounted his
horse, and, after saluting the wondering
officials in highly digniied manner,
rode silestly away, no one knew whittier.
