A Haunted Table In Famous Restaurant.

A Haunted Table In q Famous Restaurant.
There is haunted table at Del.
monico's. It is the round one in the
angle formed by Twenty-sixth street
and Fifth avenue. A certain mum.
Der of men made up their minds to
take turns watching it every night.
Whoever gives dinner at that table
suffers misfortune. His guests are
ridiculously late, waiter plays the
fool kicking over a champagne pail
or something else goes wrong.
London has a haunted box in Drury
Lane theater. Every one in the op-
pcsite box sees in it one more person
than the flesh and blood persons
actually there. The haunt at the
haunted Delmonico table is not Q
severe one, but it brings New York
up to date. The haunt leaves unless
the man who takes the table is un,
conscious of it.-Arthur Brisbane in

A Diaerence OF Only One Letter In the
Names of the Two Ablest Kickers.
Dr.. j. E. Usher, of London, Fellow
of the Royal Geographical society
| and a sportsman of note, who has
been in Arabia and other remote
parts of the globe hunting for big
game, arrived here from North
Queensland and the desert region
known as the North Territory, in
Australia. This is an enormous
stretch of country thousands OF
miles in area, infested by cannibals,
in which are giant emus, nombat
and wallaby. It was to hunt the
emu that DIR. Usher made his trip
there.
IA party of us went up in that far
north region" he said. I'VE were
among the cannibals, who are great
in size, being six and a half feet high
and physically perfect. 1t is a dry,
sandy region for the most part.
Emus in large numbers are. to be
found over this territory. Wehunted
them on horseback, and it was rare
sport, for the reason that they can
run as fast as horse, and a very
good one at that. We found the
catching of emus almost as interest
ing as coursing, besides having a GER
tain spice of danger about it.
"An emu can kick as hard as a
horse. I have seen men kicked 80
hard by this vicious bird that their
legs were broken. If had my
choice of being kicked by horse or
an emu I think I would take the
horse. The emu stands on one leg,
and with the other strikes quick
and most paralyzing blow. ! never
would have believed that bird had
such power had I not had ocular evi-
dence of it during this trip. After
two or three of our men had suffered
from the terrific kicks Of these birds
we did not venture near them, but
after running our horses till we got
close enough would bring them down
with our rifles We did not approach
them till we knew they were dead.
We killed them for their feathers, al
though they are not SO valuable as
those of the ostrich.
: owe also hunted for their eggs,
which are to be found in the sand,
but in doing this we took care not to
collide with the emu. The eggs are
more in demand than the feathers. |
They are very beautiful, and are so
tough that it is difficult to break |
them. Professional curio makers
drill hole in each end, take the in,
side out, and then the shell is carved
and mounted in silver. There are
three layers of the shell, and the
carving is done 30 as to show three
colors. The silver is set in the first
layer, so thick is it, and when it is all
carved and ornamented by the silver
it is handsome. San Francisco
Chronicle.

that of Palmer of Illinois III favor of cleo

argument was that senators elected by

The Southern Pacific Extension.

All who have looked on the sur vey of the Southern Pacific compa- ny as a bluff, will soon have their eyes opened in most agreeable manner. From definite informa- ton at hand, it is now assured that within this month active construc- ton work will begin on the South ern Pacific line northward from this point. The advantages to be gain ed by this valley and city from this extension are many and are not ap- preciated in their fullness by our people. It is to be remembered that the employment of a thousand men and corresponding number of horses on this extension of our To- cal will bring to this locality unex- ampled prosperity during a season usually considered the dullest of the year; opening a market at home for nearly all of the surplus farm pro- ducts and giving the merchants of the capital city a business of grati- flying dimensions and profits. Add to this at date not long in the fu- ture the activity produced by the construction of the Santa Fe, Pres colt andPhenix railroad northward and eastward, and Phenix will then be in the midst of boom that will lift her to a population of fully 25,- GOO souls.-Phenix Gazette.
