A CHICKEN FOR ONE.
A Pigmy for Epicures Now Served by
 Paris Restaurateurs.

Pigmy for Epicures Now Served by
 Paris Restaurateurs.
 It is generally conceded that small bird makes very dainty meal for one person, and it must have been source of regret to many that it was seldom possible to obtain a chicken just large enough for one man with moderate appetite. The difficulty has now been removed, in Paris at least, says the New York Journal. '''
 Many Paris hotels and restaurants are now introducing as a novelty into their menus what might be described as lone man, one chicken" Everyone who understands anything of the appe- lite of man understands that he likes best to tackle a bird single-handed. With the ordinary fowl this was, of course, impossible, so the ingenious chef proceeded to develop, or rather curtail, the spring chicken, and now three-months=oId bird is served to each guest, just as though it were a quail or a plover. That there is any stability in the body of so young and tender a chicken can hardly be admit ted; but the novelty has been greatly appreciated, especially by Americans in Paris, and there is already ademand, and great one, for fedgling barn. doors.

Produce of Fractions of a Penny.

The old lesson as to little drops of water, little grains of sand" making the universe has had one more exempli- fcation. It is the custom of the Bank of England not. to pay fractions of a penny. In the case of dividends on government stock these fractions have in the course of years amounted to one hundred and forty thousand pounds, which amount, it is stated, was few years ago paid over to the chan cellor of the exchequer.

Army Boards Rigid Inspection Discour-
 ages South Dakota Breeders.
 John D. Hale, of Tilford, one of the most prominent stockmen in South Da- kota, some months ago received the con- tract for furnishing the Eighth caval- ry at Fort Meade with some 70 or so horses. Notwithstanding that he visit ed practically every prominent horse ranch in western South Dakota, eastern Wyoming and southeastern Montana i'll the effort to secure horses that would pass the rigid inspection, every horse so far turned in for inspection has been rejected. The horses were the very best that could be procured, experience hav- ing shown them to be the hardest ani- mals to be found in the United States. Some of the horses could not be pur- chased on the range or in the markets of Chicago and New York for $25O each. MT. Hale says he offered one man $500 for team of handsome grays, provided they passed the inspection. The ami mals were submitted, but, while the board admitted that they were a fine looking pair, they were declared not suitable for cavalry. Horse raisers are discouraged at the result and say that any board that holds strictly to the re- quirements of the government in the se- lection of cavalry horses would not be able to get enough horses in the whole United States to mount one cavalry regiment.

 When he lost his last "chip" he showed his chair back from the table and remarked: 'I swear that I will never play another game of cards for money" He then gotaup and left the room. This morning he seemed about as cheerful as usual and his wife and other inmates of his home had no idea that he even contem- plated taking his own life.

He was man that always attended strictly to his own affairs and never in any manner meddled with those of his neighhor He was the personification of honor, and his word could be implicitly re- lied upon. For number of years he was engaged in the saloon busi- ness. After that he conducted a pool and billiard hall.

 AS important us l consider the silver question, I expect to stay in the Democratic party" said Rep resentatiye Dinsmore, of Arkansas ''I believe the only hope for bimetal- liam is in that Eparty. We cannot afford to split, as disintegration will weaken the cause of silver"
 Representative Owens, of Ken lucky, is not a 16-to-1 silver man, but he believes that the silver Demo- crats of his State will support the nominee of the Chicago conven- ton.
 Kentucky is already disgusted with Republicanism," he said, "and will return to the faith of its fathers"
 Senator Tillman, of South Caro- lima, said: "Oh, everybody knows my position. We are still sticking to the party in South Caro- lima, and are going to do so as long as there is hope in it for a change in the conditions of affairs. We are going to Chicago with a silver dele gation. If the convention decides that it will give the people of the country no relief and sits down on silver, we are going to walk out"

NO FIGHT TODAY. MEXICAN DUST TOO MUCH FOR MAHER's
 EYES. Almost Totally Blind as Re. suit of the Alkali Dust Common to
 that Dis
 trict.

FL PAso, TEX, Feb. 13.-The fol lowing WAS posted about town to night:
 Owing to the temporary afiiiction of Peter Maher's eyes, the contest will have to be postponed a few days"
 This was agreed to after Julian had examined the eyes of the Irish man and had a conference with Quinn and Connolly.
 Buck Connolly, one of Maher's seconds, came to Stuart's office this afternoon with the information that Maher would not, because oi his eyes, be in condition to fight to morrow, and saying that 1t would be absolutely necessary to have q postponment. He said that Maher's eyes had been so badly infiamed by sand blowing in them during his training that he could scarcely see. Stuart at once set to work to secure postponment for the time neces- sary to enable Maher to get into condition. According to the condi- tions of the match, Maher and Fitz- simmons have each postponed q forfeit of $1,000 to insure their ap- pearance in the ring.
 Julian when seen by Stuart de- clined to accept the statement of Connolly without verification. He insisted that Maher should come to Fl Paso and submit to inspec tion to determine the condition of his eyes.
 Maher came to the city at 6:30 tonight. His eyes were tightly closed and he wore a green shade over them. Over the green shade
 was travelling cap with the yizer pulled down close upon the nose to prevent the light from striking his eyes. He was compelled to allow Connolly and Hall to guide him to the carriage us he was utterly unable to open his eyes. The carriage was | quickly driven to the little brick building on an alley just off the plaza. The newspaper representa-

 Recently he has been running on the route between Little Rock and Alexandria, La., on the Valley road. For several weeks he has been un- der suspicion and Inspector Thomas claims that there is ample evidence, by means Of catch letters, to convict Burrus.
 The young man was taken into custody as quick as he reached the city yesterday evening after a run on the Valley route and was closeted for some time with the Inspector, who afterwards asserted that Bur- rus had made confession of guilt.
 Burrus was taken before United States Commissioner O'Hair last night, but in the absence of the Dis- trict Attorney formal arraignment was deferred until 10 o'clock this morning. Meanwhile Burrus is in the custody of the Federal officers. Little Rock Gazette.

lives were sent for by Connolly and Maher's eyes were inspected. They were swollen almost shut, and water exnded from the corners. A raising of the lids showed that the eyeballs were greatly infiamed. Maher has been training In an old adobe ring at Las Cruces. The dust was so thick when he was going through his training that visitors complained of 1t, and warned Maher against continuing his training in an atmosphere of dust. Maher's all- ment is not uneomon In this region. Residents are not so liable to 1t as those who have been here but a short time. The alkali dust creates anIirritation that results In blindness aud great pain, but 1t usually passes away in a week or ten days. An army surgeon who examined Maher's eyes said he thought they would be well in week. Dr. Yandell, city heoi.h oihaS'5 Who iooheu Ut the oui- ferer tonight, said that Maher would not be able to enter the ring for a week.
 Martin Julian and Fitzsimmons were sent for and both examined the sufferers eyes, expressed their sym- path for him and announced that they would not, under the circum- stances, claim q forfeit. They will give Maher ample time to recover.

WHAT THEY'LL ID. Prominent Silver Demo erats Talk of the
 Chicago Con-
 Vention. MOST OF THEM PUT PARTY UNITY ABOVE A SIN
 GLE ISSUE.
But Ben Tillman Will Walk Out If He Don't Like
 Things.

As to what the Democrats will do should they be defeated at Chicago, the Washington correspondent of the New York Times writes as fol- lows:
 While ex-Spearker Crisp is silver man, and will be the candidate of his faction in Georiga for Senator at the next election, he is not such an ardent supporter of the white metal as to put it above his party.
 What shall I do? Why, expect to support the nominee of the Chicago convention" Judge Crisp said in answer to a reporter. ''I see no use of all this talk about what we will or will not do."
 Representative Money, the Senator elect from Mississippi, says that a gold platform or gold-standard candidate will wreck the Demo- cretic party, but for the people of his State, he says: I've may, and l think we will, be able to keep them in the party, although there are many who say they will never vote for a single-standard man for Presi- dent. I am a Democrat, and ex- pect to stay in the party. There are too many other great issues for the party to solve, and it is competent to do so."
 Representative Baily, of Texas. says: "If I am forced to choose among the Republican party, with it's we'll known policies, the Populist party, with it's vagaries and paternalism, and the Democratic party, even with a gold standard platform, I shall certainly support the Democratic candidates, but | am perfectly free to say that, if the
