securing high class customers. His plan
is to ask the rich men and gourmets who
dine at his place what dishes they are es-
pecially fond of and in what way they have
them prepared at home. He then has his
chef make the dishes, and he calls them
after the customers who recommend them,
as il, for the sake of example. he should
stew crabs in cream and call the dish
"crabs la Chauncey Depew," or as il he
should put crusting of baked powdered

Coming TRIAL of Young Haines.

WASHINGTON, July ia great deal
of interest Is felt here in the case of
young Thorton Haines, whose trial for
the killing Of Edward Hannegan in self
defense begins at Hampton, Va, next
Wednesday. Mr.. Haines will be de-
Tended by Colonel Shillington, of this
city, Hon. John e. Goode, ex-member Of
congress from the Norfolk district, Col
onel Tabb and Mr.. Wheeler, OF Hamp-
ton. Several members of his family
leave here today and others follow. Some
Of young Hennsgan's friends have en-
ployed the professional services of Mr..
Lipseombe, an eminent lawyer here, to
assist in the prosecution. A boatman on
the river says that both Haines and Han
negan had engaged passage on John
Paul Jones' yacht, which the young men
used On this eventful trip. Haines sticks
to his first assertion that he acted solely
in self defense, and the negro witness to
the affair reaffirms that he saw Hanne-
gan raise his oar to strike Haines before
the shot was fired.

sTEeLE MAckAye's TABLE.
He Had Some Difficulty in Getting tho
Aged Carpenter to Make It.


Steele Mackaye, the dramatist, can tell
good story as we'll as write good play.
At Wormley's he was relating some OF his
experiences In the little village OF Concord,
N. O., where he spent some time.
II wanted table made" he began, "and
was directed to the village carpenter. He
was an aged man, and when l finally
found him he was leisurely engaged in the
manufacture Of a coffin. 1t looked as II he
had been at work upon the coffin for a
week. asked him If he could make me q
table. He allowed that he could when he
got at it, And when will you get at itf
asked. Suddenly he parried my direct
question with another. What kind Of @
table do you wantf' he asked me, with the
air Of a man who has got the enemy cor
nered.
"I described the table, and the old man
again fell into deep thought. At last,
when showed some impatience, he told
me to come again next week.
"a week later reminded him about my
table. Yes, he remembered the converse
tion, but he really did not think he could
go to work upon it until he had seen some
Of his relatives. He did not exactly know
whom he had to see, nor where they lived.
but he was positive that they had to be
seen Detore my taole coulu Do pegun- DO
sides this he hadn't any lumber.
"'Where can get the lumberp asked
in desperation. Well, he thought it could
be obtained at the mill. And where was
the mill? Twelve miles away. So mount
ed my horse and started for the mill. l
found 1t after long search. ID was a
dilapidated affair, and the saw was half
way through log. But the saw was
rusty, sign that it had not been in use
for O week. A woman came out of house
nearby and answered my shouts. l told
her that wanted to see the owner Of the
mill.
"'What do you want to see him for'' she
drawled. told her about the lumber
which I needed, and her husband came
out He was long, lean, lank fellow, and
he was sucking yam. 10 was the funniest
sight you ever saw All during his conver-
sation he sucked this yam and spoke in
slow, deliberate sentences. He finally con-
cluded that he did not care to take the
trouble to cub the lumber, and l rode
twelve miles back to town"
"And did you ever get the tablep asked
the reporter, who listened to the story.
"Down by the reilroad was a factory"
said Mr.. Mackaye. Nobody in the town
had mentioned it, although fifty people
had told me Of theaged and work deferring
carpenter. I found the factory by acci-
dent, gave my order for the table, and had
it delivered to me within twenty-four
hours.-Washington Post.
