MILLIONAIRE DROWNED.

George r. Grant, OF Chicago, Loses
His Life at Miltona.
ALEXANDRIA, Mimi, Sept. 7.-George
r. Grant. millionaire attorney, a
guest for few days of Hon. William
B. Keep, both of Chicago, at the Chicago
club OH Lake Miltona in this county,
was drowned yesterday while fishing.
He stood up in the boat to remove his
coat, which was loaded down with car
tridgeS, and had it off just SO
far as to securely piniOn his
arms, when he fell overheard.
His brother-in-law, stationed half
mile away,saw the accident. and hastily
rOWed to his assistance. Grasping the
heavy trolling line which hung over the
boat the hook caught in the clothing of
the drowned man; he raised the body to
the surface but could not get it into the
boat. So flashing the arms over the gun
vale of the boat he rOwed with the
other boat for help. A half an hour
elapsed before the body could be taken
out of the water and life was entirely
extinct. Grant was to have returned
home last night. He leaves wife and
daughter. The deceased carried $780,
600 insurance on his life, and took out
policy for $4,000 accident insurance be-
fore leaving chicago In several OLD line
companies.
From the manner in which the above
deplOrable accident was treated in some
Of the evening papers a disinterested
reader would suppose that blame of
some kind was to be attached to the
dead mans friends for their course in
the matter. The facts are that the cir
cumstances of the affair were such that
there could be no possible necessity for
a post-mortem on the body. The friends
of Mr.. Grant were utterly pros
trated by his sad and untoward
cutting off in the prime of
his manhood and usefulness, but natur-
ally desired to save his family all I'M
necessary pain and annoyance. An
undertaken was sent for to embalm the
remains, and last evening they passed
through st. Paul for Chicago in charge
of Mr.. Keep and other friends. The
deceased gentleman had wide circle
of acquaintance in st. Paul, and last
week on his way to the place where he
was drowned was the guest for few
days of Judge j. j. McCafferty.

The prospect for radical and extensive i'm
provements in the condition Of Washington $
railroad terminals WIS never brighter than at
present. The hopeful element in the situation
is the change in the attitude OF the railroads.
They are getting TO be ashamed of the discredit-
able features Of their occupation, to which the
STAR has repeatedly called attention. The dis
position of one road to spend large sum of
money TO remove grade-crossings and erect q
model station building has aroused a similar
disposition in the othC-. Then the roads
have come to appreciate the difficulty
and expense of securing from Congress
concessions which their increasing business
renders necessary, without at the same
time making the concessions to the public for
the safety of the people, the removal Of surface
distinctions to travel and traffic, and the sub
stitutiOn Of architectural ornaments for disfg-
urements in stations and approaches, which are
clearly needed by the capital and which are
enjoyed by many other cities. The prop
ositions of the Baltimore and Ohio
are well known. They give promise
Of a vast improvement over existing conditions.
In one or two respects they are Objectionable
10 the city. but there is strong probability that
by discussion and compromise an agreement
can be reached by which both people and rai!-
road will secure substantially the results
for which they have been striving. The
PENNSYLVANIA railroad, discovering the extreme
difficulty CT accomplishing what it desires at
the Long Bridge except as part Of a general
improvement which shall reconstruct che
bridge and abolish many grade crossings, has
nowreached. itsCggests. condition o. readiness
to apply the same liberal and progressive
4 ct to Ws.liupfOn yvbtrh
has distinguished its policy in other cities. The
city Will undoubtedly meet it in the proper
spirit. and tAc-e is prospect OF improve
ments which Will abolish the belt of nv-thOr-
ough:are surface tracks, make Of Long Bridge
n handsome, cretitaDie bridge instead of an
ugly dam, and give to the capital one Of the
most imposing stations in America. Senator
MCCLELLAN. Chairman of the District committee
and of the subcommittee on railroads. befo-e
whom the propositions concerning the roads
are now pending. Is taking a deep i'll
teress in the subject. and as he has the conf
Gsnce, both OF the railroad men, and
OF the people of this city (Which
in these negotiations be represeuts) there is a
strong probability that he vii succeed IN Sc

to accomplish these improvements. His task

LADIES' COLUMN.
DUTIES OF THE WAITRESS.

Although every housekeeper may
have some methods peculiarly her
own in the matter of waiting upon ia
bles, still there are some customs that
are almost universal in refined house
holds.
If the water has not already. been
poured, the waitress pours it as soon
as the guests sit down at the table.
If there be raw oysters, they should
be served first. Usually they are ar
each PERSONS seat before the guests
come in.
When the oyster plates have been
removed, the soup tureen and hot
soup plates are placed before the
hostess. The waitress lifts the cover
off the tureen, inverting it at once,
that no drops of steam shall fall from
it, and carries it from the room. The
hostess puts ladleful Of soup into
each plate and hands it to the wait
ress, who places it before the guests,
going in every case to the left hand
side Some hostesses always serve
the ladies first, while others serve the
guests in rotation.
The meat is set before the host, the
vegetables being placed before the
hostess or on the sideboard, as one
chooses. The waitress passes each
plate as the host hands it to her. She
then passes vegetables, bread, sauce,
etc.
The salad is to be served by the
hostess. After that the table is
brushed and the dessert brought in
and placed before the hostess. The
coffee follows. If fruit be served it is
passed before the coffee.
Finger bowls are brought in after
the made dessert has been served. A
dainty dolly is spead on dessert
plate and the finger bowl placed on
this. The bowl should be about one
quarter full of water. Each guest lifts
the bowl and dolly from the plate and
places them at the lefthand side. The
dolly is never to be used to wipe the
fingers.

provided with tray for all the small
er dishes, and should remove the
plates one or two at time.
