THE PALACE MAN.
Chef Mergenthaler Airs His Culinary
Philosophy.

EmtOoOPhys
For $40 to six persons one should be
able to provide a good dinner" said Chef
Mergenthaler of the Palace Hotel as he
thoughtfully stroked his smooth haven chin
and ran his mental eye over an historical
retrospect of marketing experiences.
The chef is Partisan, but has been a
naturalized American for twenty years past,
of which FIVE have been spent in California.
For $50 one should provide very good
dinner indeed.
"Of course turkey Is an element which
cannot be separated from American Christ
mas dinners. In such a case have boiled
turkey and roast game or roast turkey and
boiled game as the basis to build upon. To
enjoy good dinner eat Sparingly of many
small dishes in lieu of heavily of one or
two. The effects next morning are far
pleasanter.
"a glass of Yarmouth Torreno before a
meal makes a wonderful difference in the
enjoyment of the feast.
"Appetzers, such as anchovies, stuffed
olives or caviar on toast. are excellent things
to aid the digestive powers, but don't touch
radishes at dinner time. That is a positive
crime against the stomach. They are only
at for the early morning meal.
''Salted almonds should be placed on every
table. Their effect in bringing out the
virtue of your wines are simply magic and
is worth noting.
at is a mistake for lady who can super
wise or cook good plain dinner 10 toy with
elaborate dishes the preparation OF which
she is not familiar with. This is hint
worth noting.
Light sweets such as omslette soufflee OF
light puddings with wine sauce are excel
lent adjuncts to an artistic meal.
II am not in favor of plum buildings or
minee pies. They are crude barbarities
and only adjustable TO ostrichs' stomachs,
but bow to the exigeneies OF Christmas
tide.
"Californians are more French in their
culinary tastes than any other people in
the United States. | have to pay as much
attention TO 10 al orders here in that
respect as / have ever had to at Del

Chef Eugene Godon of the Maison Doree
is one OF those enviable persons who are
able to accomplish half dozen things at
once. His quiet smile merely expands in
width with an extra rush Of orders or addi-

SERGEANT COX is Happy.
New Haven Becomes a Station of the
First Order.

New Haven Becomes Station of the
First Order.
For three years Sergeant Cox has
been using all his influence, both politi-
cal and otherwise, to get New Haven
established as signal station of the first
order. If this could be obtained, a
record could be made by electricity of
the direction of the wind, rainfall,
temperature and barometric pressure.
There has been great demand for this
Improvement. Engineers very fire.
quently want to know the rate of rain
fall or precipitation.
This electrical record is very valuable
because 1t Is a continuous record of
everything for every moment in the
twenty four hours. These records prove
very necessary at times and especially
in court cases. Under ordinary circum-
stances it would be difficult to get New
Haven established as a first order sta
ton, since it is so near New York, but
Sergeant Cox obtained the aid of the
New Haven chamber of commerce and
the Bridgeport board of trade, and by
thus making the improvements not only
for New Haven but for other places,
succeeded in getting an amendment at
| tached to the appropriation bill whereby
| money was provided to equip the New
Haven station with all of the instru-
ments which are necessary for attaining
the best results in the service.
Yesterday Sergeant Cox received
notice from headquarters informing him
that instruments would be forwarded as
| soon as possible, and 1t is expected that
very soon the Office will be provided
| with a continuous and accurate record
of all the changes which it is essential
to know.

POLICE COURT.

SImOnsvilIs Man Fined For Assault
ing John H. BOssIdv.
The case of Gotlieb Schoeck for
assault and keeping an unmuzzled dog
occupied large share of this mornings
court. Last Monday night, as the testi-
mony went to show, Schoeck assaulted
John II. Bossidy in front of the latter's
house in Simonsville. Schoeck also
called in the assistance of his wife and a
big bull dog. The wife climbed on
Bossidy's back and kept jabbing him
with a pair of scissors, the husband
pounding him on the head with stone,
while the dog was getting in his work
by chewing pieces out of Bossidy's legs
and arms. A neighbor by the name of
Morse separated the contestants.
Schoeck claimed that Bossidy started
the row, but the evidence was not
strong on that point. He was fined SIS
and costs for assault and had Judgment
suspended for keeping an unmuzzled
dog.
John Koran for drunkenness was
fined 81 and costs. Terrence Kelley for
similar offense was fined $40 and costs.
Charles Halpin was charged with
breach of the peace. He became in
volved in an alteration with Frank
Porter and John Sullivan. The former
called upon Officer Mccarthy, who ar
rested Halpin. He was fined 81 and
costs.

The New England Terminal Company In
Bad Way.
The New England Terminal company,
after hard struggle against financial
difficulties, will undoubtedly go into the
hands of a receiver. The New York &
New England, the Housatonic and
Danbury & Norwalk railroads combine
in askingsthat a receiver be appointed to
take charge of the affairs of the termi-
nal. Those three roads own all the
stock, except few shares, and claim
that the company have been doing bust
ness at loss since its Incorporation.
While waiting the action of the Sep
TENDER term of the superior court the
petitioners ask for a temporary receiver.
Vice President futile OF the Consoli-
dated road filed the bond that insures
the prosecution of the suit. Judge Hall
will hear arguments to-day.
The capital stock is given at 5000, 900.
There is 100000 in first mortgage
bonds. The company is said to own
real estate to the amount of 500, 200.
The other assets are in personal prop.
erty, boats and other equipment.
A Connecticut Associated Press dis

Hall appointed ex-senator Lyman s.

company. He has qualified, giving

The proposed change in the motive

stoned the presentation of petitions to
the common council of that city in
favor and against the change. The
number of signers in favor of the
change outnumber the opposition two

But a glance at the two lists of names
