HIGH LIVING.
Dinner for Two That Cost $500 a
Plate.
From the Washington Star.

From the Washington Star
History Of the cuisine fairly teens
with descriptions of costly meals, i" re-
marked Louis Davies, OF Brooklyn, at La
Normandie last night owe read how
that prohigate Heliogabalus, the Roman
emperor, had a single dish on his table
that cost 100000, and how another Ro-
man, Aelin Nerus, gave a supper to a
dozen crOnies that cost a quarter of a
million dollars. Then Vitellius. still an
other Roman and an emperor likewise
entertained his brother at "a little snack
that used up a couple of hundred thou
sand; but these were ancient fellows, who
had nightingaIes' tongues and humming
birds brains and similar marvellous
dainties.
Coming down to modern days and plain,
ordinary, everyday ham and eggs, / ate
a supper once in this very town, that cost
a friend of mine 81, 400. A gentleman
named Parker kept an establishment
where your Press Club is, and devoted it
to entertaining gentlemen at sundry
games of chance One night the friend |
speak of and myself were killing an even
ing here together, when we conceived the
brilliant idea that visit to Parker's
would be just the thing We put it into
execution at once. have never gambled
in my life, and my friend has not done it
since. we went upstairs and entered the
room just as supper was announced.
My friend did not want to eat any
thing, but was hungry, and when some
plausible rascal of a dealer told me that
there was broiled Smithfield ham, fianked
with pullets' eggs as sort of side issue
to the otherwise gorgeous feast, broke
for the supper room despite my compan-
ions pleadings. OF course, he followed
me, when he found his protestations were
useless, and we enjoyed the feed i'm
mensely. When We came out my friend
pulled out 20-dollar bill and said he
would play turn or two to pay for our
supper 1 begged him in turn not to do
it, but he was as obdurate as l had been.
But why linger on the misery He lost
his 20-dollar bill and tried to get it back.
In two hours 81, 400were gone glimmering.
l have never felt so downright hungry
since that a slight request from a mere
cannot keep me away from
a dead-head feed"

letter IN which he says; The Red Cross
authorities have disgracefully misused
Jhelr authority, and were more
than partisan in the distribution of
their charity. The white citizens of the
community have not up to date received
500 in supplies, while thousands have
been issued to negroes. Many of them
are IN no wise needy, for they hold
pensions from the United States govern

Lhe township carrying over 600 souls that
to-day are without means to feed the
women and children or the farm animals
Unless they can get food for themselves
and for their animals the result will be
fearful. How they are to work the crop
