When Mrs. Sarah Rosenthal, wife of
Alexander Rosenthal, who lives on the top
floor of the tenement at No. ia Suffolk
street, was asked yesterday what she had
to say in reference to the $110-a-plate din
ner given by the Bradley Martins at the
Waldorf-Astoria, she pointed to her four
children and replied:
IF I only had the price of plate
of that dinner! What would I do with
$110? What wouldn't I do with it? In the
first place Philip, my oldest>boy, needs a
new suit of clothes, while Leo, who is 6
years old is in need of a pair of shoes.
My little boy Harry, who is T. is also in
need of clothing, while for my little baby.
Pauline, 1 would buy things that she
needs around the house.
If the Bradley Martins want to give
S110-a-plate dinner they have right to
do So and poor as am, l wish them luck
and happiness. But all the same, it looks
very hard that while they sit down to
such a costly dinner that same night we
sat down to a dinner the cost of which
was only cents a plate, and am not
quite sure it cost even that much. We
had coffee, bread, butter and a little
cheese Little as We had. We were hap
py, because my husband came home that
night thinking that he had found
ployment- But when he went to the place
this morning he learned that someone else
had got the job.
''One hundred and ten dollars is a lot
of money to me. and I could live on it for
two months. but, as / said before 1 do
not begrudge it to them. / would like
work for my huSband-that is ALL"

Hackneys at Sandringham-
S4724 For a Gelding.

London, May 31.-The annual sale of the
Prince of Wales hackneys at Sandring
ham realized .995, average of $3.50,
which is far better than other breeders
secure.
Sir Edward Vincent paid the record fig
ure of $4, 724 for a gelding, after Sir Thorn
as Upton had bid $500.
The Duke of Marlborough bought a fine
pair of wheelers for 81. .750
The minimum price for teams was S., 900.
Lord Marcus Beresford, acting for Lord
William, bought several fine horses,
while Lord Iveagh paid s., ,250 for a splen-
did pair of 6-year-old bays.
Most of the newly rich' were present
and paid humping prices for horses
which they probably did not require and
did not appreciate. The prince was much
pleased with the sale, and stood by the
auctioneer a good part of the time, doubt
less inspiring the bidding by his presence.

OFF FOR SOUTH AFRICA.
Captain Howard Leaves to Aid the
british Army.


NEW HAVEN, Conn, Dec. 3.-Capt. Ar
thur 5. Howard, who has resided many
years in this city, has yielded to earnest
requests from the British military author
tiles to 90 Immediately to South Africa He
declines to tell just what part he viii play
in the struggle in South Africa, but his
friends say that he will act in the special
ty which made him invaluable to England
during the Riel rebellion. He Will have
charge of the manufacture of the fulmi-
nate and explosives made at the seat Of
war.
Captain Howard is well fitted for this
task. 1t has been his life work. He was a
member of a Connecticut regiment in the
Civil War, and was for years in charge of
the Eliminates of the Winchester Repeat
ing Arms Company in this city. He LEFT
his place in the factory when the Riel re-
bellion started and went TO Canada. It
was largely due TO his management of the
explosives used in that campaign which
led to the quick suppression of the Riel
rebellion. For his services at this time he
was made a captain by the British Gov
ernment. He has since secured contracts
for the manufacture of all the Eliminates
he cared to undertake for the British gar
risons in Canada and has spent most of
twenty years in Canada in charge of this
work
Captain Howard Is about siXty-itye years
old and dislikes to undertake the mission
in South Africa, but the inducements held
out by the British Government are under
stood to have been very attractive He
said tonight that he would leave imme-
diately for the Trausvaal.
