Aristocraoies in different places and ages
have prided themselves on many different
things. One Of the queerest, perhaps, is
the aristooraoy according to oheeses, which,
according to the Neue Zuricher Zeitung,
prevails among the patricians Of Zermatt-
The aristocracy of families is valued by the
number and age of the oheeses they possess
There are families who possess cheeses
made at the time Of the French revolution.
When a child is born. a cheese is manu-
featured, which is then called by the name
of the child. It is partly eaten when its
namesake gets married, each wedding
guest tasting q portion. The cheese is thon
put away again and finally cut into and
finished at the funeral of the person whose
name it bears. When a young man wooes a
maiden, he begs to be allowed to dine
with her family on a Sunday. His offer
being accepted, the lovers wait anxiOusly
to see whether the girls father win cause
the cheese to be set on the table. At the
end of the long meal if all goes well. the
master of the house solemnly fetches the
cheese bearing the would be brides name,
sets it on the table, cuts it and gives a
piece to the young couple When they
have eaten it, they are bstrothed pair
The others at the table partake of the
cheese and drink to the eternal friendship
of the two families.

Tor the first, heat a kettle Of water
and make a quantity OF corn meal rnush.
Have the water boiling and sailed, and
make it just as carefully as if for the
table. Spread a towel on a board which
has been warmed, and spread the mush
on half the length of it, letting it be
fully an inch thick. Turn the other half
of the towel up over 1t, back around the
edges, and lay it on the chest as warm
as the patient can bear.
If the bronchial tubes seem affected
be sure to press the poultice wen into
the hollovs about the collar bone. Re
new in four or i've hours. This has been
known to break up the trouble caused
by measles turning in upon the lungs,
within "A hours. Be careful to apply
warm, dry hannels when the poultice is
removed.
To make the second poultice, take q

Condition Vigorously De.

Finished Treatment at Springs and
Will Rest Here During East
ern Hot Spell.

Justice Stephen J. Field of the Supreme
Court of the United States returned to this
City early yesterday morning by special
train from Ell Paso de Robes, where the
aged iu-ist has been for several weeks
resting and carefully nursing the old In
jury to his right knee.
The fact that he was continually wheeled
about in gu Invalid's chair while at the
springs that every announcement might
be given to his injured limb is said by Mrs.
Field to be one OF the chief grounds for
the reported condition of her husband.
The reports she characterizes as distress
ing TO herself and Eastern friends and I'm
founded IN fact.
She declares that Justice Field Is better
than when he left San Francisco several
weeks ago to take the treatment he has
just completed at Ell Paso de Robes, and
denies that there were any doctors on the
special train which made frequent stops
on the way up in order to AFFORD the IN
valid as much rest as possible.
The train arrived at the Third and
townsend streets station Ut b O'Clock yes
terday morning and soon after Justice
Field was taken TO the Palace In acarriage
from which be was assisted only by his
valet. He walked TO the elevator, though
with very noticeable limp, and went at
once to his apartments, where ne was
joined later by Mrs. Field.
orders were left in the once tnat no
cards should be sent to the room, as Justice
Field wished com plete rest.
During the afternoon, however, Mrs.
Field granted a brief interview to news
paper men and for nearly an hour enter
tanned Mrs. Stanford. who is an old friend
of the family.
Many solicitous kilograms were received
from friends in the East and great many
kindly friends left cards during the day.
Mrs. Field says that they purpose to

once for their home in Washington
Meanwhile, she says, her husband viii
receive only such medical treatment as is
necessary for his knee alone.

But They Were Not All Rus

Departure.
MANAGER WALTER DECEIVED
He Declares That the Agent Duped
Him, but He Takes Magnan.
imous Revenge.

The little Russian band that has for the
past two weeks been pouring forth melody
at the Chutes will spiel no more, at least
in San Francisco. They will pack up their
trombones and castanets, their flies and
bass horns and HE themselves away to
the city whence they were originally
shIpped-New York.
They were to plsy twelve weeks en-
gagement, but in the very dawn of their
advent they depart.
There is little story back of it all-the
story of a disappointed manager. 1t ends
happily though, for the agent at least, and
the denouement is simply the complete
dissolution of the reputed Russian
band. 1t is not in fact Russian band at
all. but according to the statement of Man
ager Walter of the Orphenm a band
made up of musicians whose nationalities
are legion and whose musical abilities are
not invulnerable to criticism.
"lt was in this way" said Mr.. Walter
last night. 81 was in New York last year
and listened to band of fifteen Russian
musicians there under the leadership of
Schotoff. | was enraptured. Their play
ing was magnificent. Their instruments
simply whistled. / said to myself l will
bring this band TO San Francisco and create
a Juror. l accordingly telegraphed when
1 arrived in this City to their agent, one
Ormy, and told him to send me this band.
He wired back they would soon be on the
way. procured twelve weeks engage
men for.t hem at the Chutes.
"Well, they came. They played for me,
and had not finished the piece before I
was convinced / had been shamefully
deceived. | then addressed several of
them, asking them If they recognized me,
but they did not. / finally discovered that
only three of the original fifteen had been
sent to me. the remaining twelve being
picked up in the East from among all
classes of musicians.
There are some fine musicians among
them, but they are not all Russians, and
it is not the band listened to with so
much pleasure in New York CITY.
''They are under a leader-Simonoff or
Simonson-with whom they have never
played before. This is the cause of the
whole trouble. II takes q recognized
baton TO lead an orchestra with success.
They PLAYED, but it was only ordinary
playing. So / have decided not to bring
the matter into the courts, which could
do with successful issue. l have simply
paid the fare of the poor fellows back to
New York. that they may not be here
idle. The Chutes people have helped me
in this. 1t has cost me altogether $1,000.
1.-The real fifteen / heard were members
of the band of thirty-tive musicians who
came to the Worlds Fair at Chicago and
played under the leadership of Damrosch.
He failed with them, but Schotoff took fif-
teen of them and had marvellous success.
"They will play no more here, though.
They leave Monday for New York"

cumstauces We have it is hard to tell what
our movements will be. and probably for
Jew days We will do nothing. We came
under guarantee from the \ ational Club
Wnicn, as We now understand. has failed
to procure a permit for the match. We
do not know yet whether this is true, and
We shall wait until We have q talk with the
National Club managers before making

lher TO arrange this match than the man.
ayers OF the other clubs, and while we do
not consider ourselves particularly bound
TO sign with them, we shall give them
plenty OF time to arrange the affair before
going elsewhere.
There is one thing certain, however,
thaI we Will make no match for less than
S6oOO purse. We have given up a num-
per OF I'm portant engagements that would
rave nettec US big money and made a long
ana tedious journey to come out here, and
SoOOO Is the least we will fight for.

notice, and the sooner the match is made
the better"
When asked whether Maher would OBJ
lect 10 lighting outside OF San Francisco
connolly replied:
Not in the least, anywhere so long as
the money is guaranteed and we get fair
deal and protection"
The question was prompted by state
ment made by J. j. Groom, one of the
managers of the National Athletic Club,
who met the party at tho mole. that the
night would De held under the auspices of
his club.
Don't let any one make the mistake of
thinking that the National Club is not 60

Is IL we can't get permit from the San

that the fight might be held in some other
county? The National Club is not out of
the running yet"
The party put up at the Baldwin Hotel
last evening and to-day will inspect the
training quarters selected at Sausalito by

tions from Maher.
