the dinner is served by waitress, the host

the various courses are set before him, save

fee The soup naN be brought in in plates
from the buffers pantry, or placed in tu-
reen before the hostess. In either case the
waitress usually places the soup at the right
hand of the guest. All plates are removed
at the left hand and as much OF the service
as possible is given there, as less likely to
interfere with the comfort OF the person
served. Exception is made, however, for
the pouring of the water, which should be
at the right.
Large dishes like platters should be car
ried in the hand in passing, while small
dishes should be carried on tray. Fish of
some kind usually follows the soup, though
it is not considered as necessary as formerly.
After the salad course the table should be
cleared of casters. salts and all dishes except
those containing flowers. fruits, bonbons

Ices are usually served with forks made for
that especial purpose. After the fruit or
nuts the finger bowls are served on plate
with doiley, and, lastly, the coffee is
brought in.-Kansas City Star.

HE FOUGHT FOR HIS DOG
And a New Mexican Jury Acquitted
Him of Numbering a Coward

The orchestra was playing Spanish all
in front of the postoilice one Sunday after
noon in the little silver camp of Kingston
\. NJ. Sunday in Kingston was no different
from any other day. There We're few more
miners and cowboys in town, and possibly
there was more gambling. otherwise the
camp preserved the even tenor of its way
All the Mexican women in town. in their
gayest waists and petticoats, sat on the

Chinamans restaurant listening to the
music. The two saloons being deserted, the
barkeepers closed their doors and followed
their customers. Old Man Clay locked his
grocery store. as did his rival. Tommy Hob
son.
Here comes Starr and Miss Starr" said
some one. and the crowd looked up.
A man came staggering down the street,
and close at his heels followed a handsome
black hound. 1t was Starr and Miss
Starr The dogs devotion to Starr was a
byword in the camp; when he was drunk
she never left his side. The man was a

A Trust Control of the Philippines

From Birmingham, England, comes a re-
port that the great tinanciers of Wall
street. New \ York, and Lombard street, Lon
don, are secretly forming trust control
of the Philippine islands as soon as the
United States makes an "open door of
them to the commerce of the world. This
syndicate of rich men OF New York and Lon
don proposes to slip inside and close the
door against all but its own people. 1t is
probable that this promising trust is not
confined to New York and London alone,
but that its representatives may be found in
Washington The Birmingham Post, which
saws that its authority is of the best, does
not particularize on this point. and it does
not give names, which would have greatly
aided in finding the men who are taking such
quick advantage of the country's colonia
expansion. Like all projectors of such com
binations, the founders of the Philippine
i trust abhor publicity.

camp. His face, when not coarsened by
drink, was handsome and manly. He was
about 80 years old and graduate OF an
eastern college and of exceptionally good
family. He had drifted to the mining camp
and remained there for no other reason than
that he could get drunk without being ar
rested. 1t was no disgrace to get drunk II
Kingston. When Starr's periodical drunk
was due the sheriff relieved him of his gun
and turned him loose. This was the second
day of his spree and he was as helpless as q
little child. The boys ran out OF the crowd
and pushed him and the crowd jeered and
insulted him.
Dance, START" cried some one and they
cleared the sidewalk for him. lie threw
his cap into the middle of the road and be-
gan to caper in imitation of some Spanish
dancer he had seen back east Sometimes
he fell; then the crowd laughed and those
nearest poked him with their feet. The
lowest, meanest "Greaser" there had kick
for him; the toughest man in that uneouti
crowd had shove for him. They knew
they could abuse him with impunity when
he was drunk: when he was sober they
took off their hats to him and the Mexicans
called him "senor.' 1t was Tommy Hob
son, the grocer. who at last picked up a
stick and struck Starr across the back.
Starr did not mind it. He scarcely felt it.
But Miss Starr did. She showed her white
teeth in a snarl her clear. patient eyes
turned a dangerous green. She never
flinched when Tommy lifted his foot to
kick her.
"You dassent." sneered some one.
Tommy was Il notorious coward, so he
kicked her to show his bravery. His foot
struck her in the chest and knocked her
over. She picked herself up and came for
him. Quick as she was Starr was quicker.
With single throw his long knife was
open. Three times he thrust it into Tom
my's frame. Judge Best caught Starrs arm,
while Tommy's hated rival and French

carried it into the postoilce to await the
coming of the camp dentist, who acted as
surgeon on such occasions. They took
Starr. who went without a word, to the
little 'dobe Jail in the alley and Miss Starr
followed behind.
Starr was sober when he came up for trial.
Miss Starr laid at his feet when he pleaded
guilty to the charge of murder before the
crowded court room. He had no attorney
and no defense to make. He only said SIM

LOSS OF LIFE In WAR.

The Civil war cost 100000 lives. OF
this number 9S,0S9 were slain in bat
tie. The vast army which succumbed
to disease was no less than 1S4,331,
while the remaining 10000 or so died
of wounds received, says the Chicago
Inter Ocean.
At the battle of Waterloo 81 900 men
were killed or disabled. There were
$4,000 soldiers in that great struggle,
and it is estimated that one man was
either killed or disabled for every 400
shots fired, counting both the artille-
ry and rife shots.
In the Crimean war 95.6l5 lives We're
sacrificed, and at Borodino, when the
French and Russians fought, $4,000
men were left dead on the battlefield.
There were 100000 troops in the COM
bat in that engagement.
OF the 95,615 men who persisted in
the Crimean war, $4,000 were Turks
and Russians. In 1881 great uproar
was caused because Englishmen took
up all the skeletons they could find,
brought them to England and CONVEX
ted the bones into fertilizers. 1t is
said that nearly the entire $4,000 skel-
etons of the Turks and Russians were
thus made into money.
Since the birth of Christ 4,0CO. 100000
men have been slain in battle. Before
the beginning of the Christian era,
the losses cannot be estimated, owing
to the very indistinct and inaccurate
accounts that have been handed down.
1t is generally conceded, however,
that the numbers said to have partic-
ipated in the battles of the Greeks
and other warning nations of the an
cient world have been greatly eXag-
gerated.
At Sanea, where the Romans suffer
ed the worst defeat in their history
it is said that $4,000 of their soldiers
were slain. The Roman army in this
battle consisted of 100000 men, the
picked Drawn and sinew of the en-
pire.
In the Franco-Prussian war $1,000
Frenchmen were killed. The Germans
fired 30.000,000 rife shots to attain
this result. During the same war the
Germans fired 900 artillery char
ges.

MOBS ANDR|OTS IN SPAIN
ALL THE BIG CITIES UNDER
MARTIAL LAW.
Death to the Thieves in Office" and

Rallying Cries.

BAYONNE, May 0.-Blood is How
ing and men and women are lying
dead in the streets of binares tonight.
The torch, knife and rifle are the wea-
pons of the mobs that are marching
in half the cities of Spain. Martial
law is proclaimed in almost every city
The Civil Guards are useless, as they
sympathize with the people. Even
the soldiers cannot be trusted. This
is especially true of Madrid. The SOL
diers there are only restrained from
leading the rioting--which has be-
come perilously near to rebellion-by
being kept in the barracks.
Brenes, near Seville, is in the hands
of an angry, blood hungry mob. Ca
diz and Alicante and Barcelona follow
with menacing crowds, tearing down
the shops for bread. and yielding on
ly to bayonets and machine guns.
death to thieves in office" is the cry
of the marching mob at Martos. At
Linares the mob attacked the city hall
and the Civil Guards fired on them re-
peatedly. Twelve men were killed and
fifty wounded.
Later the mob reorganized, procur-
ed arms and ammunition, and with
shouts of "Down with the taXes!'
they rushed up the City Hall stairs,
| fired upon the Civil Guards inside and
drove them out. The mob then march
ed to the house of the tax collector
and made an attack. His house was
sacked. The mob stole 2,100 pesetas,
and box of jewelry and fired the
house.
Lieutenant General Daban is so dis
gusted with the difficulty of his po-
sition as captain general of Madrid,
that it is expected his will resign.

Queen Regent is only waiting for a
