sprinkle it with pounded anchoyy
mixed with little butter. Place this

second savory is almost mounted on
a crouton of fried bread, and consists
of anchoyies and sardines same

ed with little butter, the paste then
being spread upon the crouton. The
yolks of hard-boiled eggs las many
eggs as anchovies) are pounded with a
little chopped parsley and made into

Daring Slide on Historic Lookout Taken

A short, compactly built man with
a heavy llondc mustashe took to-
boggan slide Gown Lockout Noun.
tain the other Afternoon lie went
via the incline and made tie trip
from the Point Hotel to the engine
house, a distance u $500 feet, In
three and one half minutes, which Is
| just one-third the time that 1t takes
a car to descend, remarks the Chat
tanooga Times. Fully 100 people
saw him make the llghtning-like de-
scent and all were greatly excited.
The nervy coaster, however, was as
cool as the proyerbial cucumber and,
upon reaching the foot Of the noun
tain, walked away as cOolly as though
1t had taken him an hour to descend.
About o'clock the coaster appeared
at the Point Hotel with what APP
peared to be a block Of wood about
eight inches square under his arm.
On one side of the block was a steel
horseshoe, in the curve Of which was
small Hanged wheel. The other
side of the block was slightly con-
cave. The block was put on the out
side rail Of the incline, the wheel
fitting close, and the horns of the
horseshoe were on either side. Then
tie man put a heavy glove on his
right hand, and sitting down on the
block started down the mountain
without more ado. He held his feet
crossed straight and before him, and
rested them on the iron rail. For
few feet the little one-wheel car
moved slowly, and then the speed in
creased Until it and its human
freight were going down the noun
tain at rate that made the specta-
tors hold their breath. When curve
was reached the coaster slowed up
slightly by pressing his heels against
the rail and stCalied himself by
touching the cable with his gloyed
hand. Finally, when he reached the
very heavy grade just above tie en-
CINE house he took off all brakes and
came down like shot out of gun.
Arriving at the bottom be put on the
"heel" brakes and gently came to
stop just in the depot Coolly rising
from his queer vehicle he placed it
under his arm and walked quietly
away before any of the astonished
spectators had chance to recover
their breath or ask any questions.

RATE WAR THREATENED.
Important Conference of Railroad
Men Mt the Fifth Avenue.

e nj th$ r1Ith
The Southeastern Railroad and Steam
ship Traffic Association met at the Fifth
Avenue Hotel at noon to-day to consider
the complaint of the Louisville & Nash
vile road that cut rates had been made
to favored shippers by certain roads In
ment binding the roads together.
The most prominent members of the
Association present were President NJ.
H. Smith, OF the Louisville & Nashville;
President s. NJ. FELTON,, jr., of the Gin
%cinnati. New Orleans and Texas Pacific;
President ]. w. Thomas, Of the Nash
vile. Chattanooga and st. Louis; Sol
and Danviiie; supt. L. T. Myers and
General Freight Agent H. NJ. Glover. of
the Seaboard Air line, n Samuel
Spencer, one of the receivers Of the
Richmond and Danville.
The Association represents the roads
and steamship lines covering the terri
tory south OF the Ohio River and the
Virginas INC east Of the Mississippi
River.
April 6 a new schedule Of rates goes
into effect which provides for a cut Of 10
cents per barrel on -four shipped on the
coast, and IA cents per barrel on -four
shipped from st. Louis to the territory
to the southeast.
1t Is said that some of the roads have
anticipated his proposed reduction In
rates by giving practically the same
rates to large shippers.
The Louisville and Nashville people OBJ
jected to this and the object Of the meet
ing Is to placate them. II this is not
done there is danger Of a dissolution OF
the Association, followed by a bitter rate
cutting war.
