Rad Rocks Helm Degeneration.

of reading. Far from causing a sat.

THE SULTAN AT DINNER.
he Eats Alone and Spends $4,000 a Day
..# -. - RI. r~hIa

He Eats Alone and Spends $4,000 a Day
on His Table,
By far tho most. extravagant din.
or in the world is the sultan OF
Turkey. His table expenses foot up
to So, 900 a day, or 1895, 0ooa year.
It is the most expensive table and
household in all probability that any
country has aver seen. The old Ro-
mans used to spend vast sums on
single meals, the equivalent of $780,
600 being q drop in the bucket when
their emperors used to dine foreign
potentates, but the sultan expends
Ill this money on himself. He is not
a sociable man and very rarely has
guests or visitors.
He does not even have a dining
room or dining hall. Turkish GUS
tom among the higher Glasses is for
servants to bring the meals to wher-
ever the diners may be, and in the
palace of STEAMBOAT the menials at
the dinner hour first search out his
majesty and then in long procession
bring tho banquet, table and all.
The table is a silver n and per.
haps the most exquisite table that
has ever been made. 1t precedes the
procession, borne in upon the shout
ders of lower grade servants. Fol-
lowing come a long line OF jubla-
kiars, who are cooks assistants. On
the heads of these orientals are large
tablets on which the platters are
placed. Such a perfect balance do
the jublakiars keep that an accident,
the breaking Of a dish, has never
been known.
The walters (soiadgis) lift the
platters from the tablets and pre-
sent each dish to his majesty, bowling
low. The dishes are covered and
sealed with the imperial seal, which
is put on in the kitchen by the grand
vizier, the idea being that the sultan
may be certain that his food has not
been poisoned or tempered with.
All at once the dishes are set upon
the table, vegetables, meats, ices
and conftures being arranged in
front of his royal highness without
any regard to courses or ordinary
dinner regulations. The whole re-
past is before his majesty. He runs
his eye over the many viands. Then
he picks and chooses, eating the
whole simultaneously, a pick here
and q bite there, a mouthful of meat,
a spoonful Of ice, a sweet cake and
a tiny ball of fish.
1t all seems strange to a man who
finishes his soup before he tackles
anything else, but the sultan seems
to enjoy it. He is a total abstainer,
and never has wine set on the table
at any time. At. state dinners the
people that get a chance to drink the
rare vintages provided are those
seated at other than the imperial
board.-New York World.

STRONG WILL DENY
Made No Pledges or Promises to Mr..
Platt.
DISCUSSES LAUTERBACH'S STATEMENT
Hearing Of Caesar, the Murderer,
Postponed.
ELECTROCUTED AT AUBURN

NEW YORK, April mayor Strong read
over carefully today the statement issued
by President Edward Lauterbach of the
republican county committee regarding the
political situation in this city.
Mayor Strong and his advisers evidently
consider Mr.. Lauterbach's manifesto a per-
sonal attack on the mayor, calculated to
place him in a false and degrading position
before the people of the state.
The mayor announces that he will pre-
pare 81 reply during the day and give it
out to the newspapers this evening.
From former statements made in this
connection by Mayor Strorg it can be in
ferred that the mayor will deny the cor
rectness of the allegations made by Mr..
Lauterbach, that he had made promises to
MIR. Platt. The mayor has already said
that he Is, was, under no pledge or
promise to any man or set of men, ex-
cepting the committee of seventy.
The mayor will also explain that he did
not promise to turn down Cornelius N.
Bliss. and place the appointments under
the control of Police Commissioner Murray
and Jacob NJ. Patterson, although these
gentlemen assert so in writing attested by
James Phillips, jr., VINO was present. that
he did, and that upon the strength of
promises made to Patterson and Murray
the mayors nomination was recommended
to and secured from the republican county
committee.

NEARER TO CUBA.
Strategic Importance of Proposed
Railway to key-Wcst.

Railway to Key -Wcst.
The Cuban complications have Increased
the interest of the engineering department
Of the navy In the plan-ko extend rail-
way along the Florida K$ys 10 Key West
1t is pointed out that this will bring
Havana within five hours by sea from the
end of the railroad instead of thirty hours
as at present, and will vastly increase the
Importance of the island both for naval
and military purposes.
The railroad is now not far from the
beginning of the chain Of islets that
stretch from the southeast corner of the
peninsula 200 miles in a southwes;erly di-
rection. These !slets are from one to four
or five miles long, and are of a good
breadth. For the most part the water be-
tween them is so shallow that a man can
easily wade from one to the other. Here
and there are deep and narrow channels,
but there Is nothing that prevents any
serious engineering difficulty.
At first it Is probable that the railway
will be built on trestles, bu. the work of
filling in around the latter will be hegun
Immediately, in order to protect the piles
from the ravages of the teredo worm. 1t
Is thought probable that as soon as the
embankment is completed IN any place the
wash OF the sea will heap up sand against
1t and that the string of islands will be
ultimately converted into one long penn-
suia. There are no heavy waves TO destroy
the work, which is screened from the At
lant1c by the Bahama islands, The gulf
stream flows along the southeast of the
islands and throws up sediment on each
side in its passage. 1t is largely due to
TINS stream that the islands are now in
existence, and it is steadily adding to them.
The strategic importance Sof the island
and ths railroad will become much greater
should the Nicaragua canal be built

ELECTRoCUTED AT AUBURN.
of William Lake, Murderer
of n Fellow Servant.

AUBURN, n. Y, April 4.-William Lake
was executed by electricity in the state
prison here al 12:45 pm.
William Lake murdered Emma Louise
Hunt, fellow servant at the Vancamp
homestead. near Carlton. in October Of
last year. The crime was accompanied by
manifestations Of ferocity and depravity
almost beyond belief. The victims head
was beaten to a pulp and her body mutt
lated in a barbarous manner. After the
crime Lake fed, but few days later he
was captured. He freely admitted the
crime and did not plead any provocation
or excuse 1t had been deliberately planned
and the details committed to writing, to-
gether with brief story of the mur-
derer's life. The fact that he was of il
legitimate birth, he added had embittered
all his life He had professed love for Miss
Hunt, but she refused his attentions, and
he determined to kill her. Lake, upon his
trial, expressed a desire to go to the cleo
trical chair, and ever since his condemna-
ticn said that he would joyfully welcome
the day of his execution.

THE CONGRESSIONAL LIBRARY.
Increase of Copyrights During the
Last Yenr.


Last Year.
The annual report of Librarian Sporord
of the Congressional Library for 1894 will
soon be printed. 1t shows that during the
year 62,162 copyrights were entered, as
against 5S,956 for 1893, and that 70, 1872 copy
right publications of all kinds were re-
ceived. OF the publications received about
1900 were books. 1900 musical compost
lions. 10000 periodicals., and 5000 photo
graphs, while the remainder were made up
of dramatic compositions, engravings. chro-
mos. prints. designs, maps and charts.
Mr.. Spofford says there has been
steady, though not rapid progress in the
extension of international copyrights. This
has not hitherto been so largely availed
Of by foreign authors as was anticipated
on the passage Of the copyright law in
1891. There has, however, been a very
large copyright protection extended by it
to German. French and English musical
compositions, as well as to the finer class
of works of graphic art, such as line en-
cravings, photographers, photographs and
half-tone reproductions of the art Of il
1ustration.
