DINNER At THE HOFFMAN
rendered COL. BRYAN.
HI MEAL SERVED IN THE SALON
LOUIS QUINZE. WITH THE FIN
EST APPOINTMENTS.
BEST THE HOUSE AFFORDED
INCLUDING A MEAL THAT TOOK AN
HOUR AND a QUARTER
TO SERVE.

NEW YORK. October 16.-The dinner
rendered Colonel Bryan at the Hoffman
house at $50 this afternoon was not
held in the Moorish room, as at first
intended, but in the Salon Louis Quinze.
Fifty covers were laid, an increase of
what was first intended. The room was
beautifully decorated with laurel leaves,
palms and evergreens. Colonel Bryan's
portrait, framed in a silk American flag,
was just behind the chair reserved for
Mayor Van Wyck, the presiding Off
Ger. 1t was discovered during the after
moor that the decorator had, in arrang-
ing the portrait of Colonel Bryan, in
tertwined the Filipino and American
colors about the picture. This was be-
lieved to be an error, and at dinner
time the colors of Aguinaldo were con-
spicuously absent.
Fifteen persons sat at the table re-
served for the guest Of honor and more
distinguished persons.
The remaining guests sat at smaller
tables. All the tables were decorated
with flowers, roses predominating.
The service was the best the house
could provide-linens of the most costly
sort, the heaviest plate, cut glass and
the best of china. Although Colonel
Bryan did not drink his wine, glasses
were provided just as for the other
guests,
Mayor Van Wyck, sat in an inlaid
chair brought from Arabia. On OPP
posite sides of him, two and two, were
special chairs, on which sat Colonel
Bryan, Mr.. Croker, A. e. Stevenson and
VIM. R. Hearst.
When all were seated. Col. BRYAN
was between Richard Croker and Mayor
Van Wyck. The other guests at the
main table were:
In the chair, Robt. A. Van Wyck, on
his right William j. Bryan, Richard
Croker, John b. Stanchfield, William J.
Stone, William f. Mackey, Edward NJ.
Shepard, John w. Keller. On the may
or's left were Adlai e. Stevenson, Will
lam r. Hearst, Webster Davis, John d.
Richardson, Norman E. Mack, John De
Witt Warner and George NJ. Van Hoe
sen.
At each plate was placed a souvenir
programme bound in heavy dark paper
with the name of each guest in gold
lettering on the cover. The menu was
or cards, plain except for a portrait of
Col. Bryan above and the American flag
in colors to the right.
The much disputA1 cost of the din
ner was settled by the Hoffman House
management, who said that the cost
was $12 per plate exclusive of the
wines.
1t took from 5:45 to Z p. m. to dis
pose of the many courses, and soon
after the party got into carriages and
were driven to Madison Square Garden.

been procured by fraud and theft
About twenty-five hundred persons
were present at the meeting. Exon
gresham J.. H. Huling called 1t to or
der, and Mayor John B. Floyd, a Repub-
lican, presided. In introducing Mr.. Bur-
dette he expressed regret at the neces-
sity of taking part in a Republican polit-
ical meeting, the object of which was
to uenounce Corruption and ballot
burning" by the alleged leaders of the
party, whom he called ."ringsters." He
declared that his position on the issues
was exactly the same as that assumed
four years ago. He had opposed ballot
box stufing then as he opposed what
was worse than that now.
When Mr.. Burdette was introduced
he was greeted with an ovation. There
were a number of ladies on the plat
form, including the wife of the speaker.
He devoted the first part of his adj
dress to a REPUTATION of the charges
made by the ring leaders, through the
columns of their organ, the Mail-Trib-
une, against his private and official
character. The attacks mad been made
in the form of a series of insinuatIng
questions. he answered them all Wig
orously, and then said: Now | want TO
ask some questions. What have the
cheats of the ring r~eceived?" He named
sin succession Secretary of State Daw-
and local office holders, giving the
salaries of each.
Abiding to the burning Of the ballots Of
the late Republican primary of NAV 10 bv
the county committee which was con-
trolled by the machine leaders, he charae-
terized these questions as the burning
issues of the campaign.

The split in the Republican party in
Kanawha county on the question of
honest elections, Involving the candi-
dacy of Senator Elkins for election to
the United States Senate, was the oc-
casion tonight of the largest political
mass meeting held here this campaign.
1t had been advertised as a "Repub-
lican antt-ring meeting" with Samuel
c. Burdette, who recently resigned his
position as assistant United States dis
trict attorney in order to be free to OPP
pose the Republican county and Legis-
lative tickets, as the principal speaker.
1t was expected that the charges made
by him would be sensational, and they
did not fall short of expectation.
From Governor Atkinson down to the
clerk OF the county clerk, the Republic
can State and county officials were ar
raigned and denounced with a fearless
ness such as has seldom if aver been at
tempted from the rostrum in West Vir-
ginia.
Mr.. Burdette, as well as several 9th
ers who spoke, openly declared their op-
position to the Republican county tick
ct, while at the same time p~roclaiming
or intimating their loyalty to the Re-
publican national ticket. The Repub-
lican State ticket was never once men
toned.

Anecdotes of EVarts.

One summer when William NJ. Evarts
was at his country home in Windsor,
Vt, a farmer who had followed his po-
litical career in the newspapers for
many years was extremely anxious to
see him in the flesh and drove IS miles
into town in order to catch a glimpse
of his idol.
Senator Evarts at that time was be-
ing entertained constantly, dining out
almost every night and as he drove out
of his grounds to an appointment one
evening the farmer was lying in wait
for him in the road. The latter, seeing
the pale, ascetic face and meager form
of the famous statesman, was disap-
pointed.
"Well, l declare" he exclaimed,
clocks as if he'd always boarded"
An impromptu riddle is attributed to
him here at his country place. One
day in presiding at table with a swarm
of grandchildren about him he asked,
"What is the difference between this
goose before dinner and me after?'
After much futile guessing he said in
quiet glee:
Nov the goose is stuffed with sage,
and then the sage" pointing to himself,
will be stuffed with goose. Home

OUR FARMERS.
TED BRAN AND
MIXED FEEDS.

Some months 60 the Maine expert
ment station - ported finding upon
the market s.f 5nat state considerable
quantities of bran and mixed feeds
which were seriously adulterated.
The same thing is to be found in
Vermont to some extent. The expert
ment station at Burlington states that,
ia the course of its inspection work
under the state law, it has found one
sample Of bran worth but little more
than half what standard bran should
be worth, that sample of much the
same character has been sent in from
another portion of the state, and that
attempted sales of mixed feeds of
known low grade have reported.
The state law requiring the inspec-
ton of feeding stuffs' for cattle does
not cover bran, middlings, etc., and
adulteration may go on in this class
of goods unchecked except by the
buyer.
Each and every user of this class of
goods may, however, if he will, pro-
tect himself by sending samples to
the station for free analysis. He will
do we'll before buying to Investigate
as to the source of the bran and to
refuse any which does not bear brand
stating its origin.
It is only proper to remark that
adulteration of this class of goods is
still relatively rare and should be
guarded against. 1t will be we'll for
buyers to learn the source of the
goods offered and to refuse such as do
not bear brand sta ting their origin.
In particular one should look askance
at any goods selling below the market
price.

WE'LL MET.

It is told of ex- President Rutherford
B. Hayes, by the Boston Herald, that
while attending Kenyon College, he
was in the habit of taking daily walks
into the country. These trips were
shared by two intimate companions,
who were of un-loving DISPOSE
ton, which frequently got them into
trouble.
On one occasion they more than
met their match at repartee in an old
farmer whom they met on the high
way. The long white beard of the
farmer gave him patriarchal appear
ance, and, while he was approaching
the students, they arranged to give
him ''jollying," which eventually
terminated iii the discontinue of the
youths.
One of them dotted his hat with
great reverence and respect, as he
said, 'Good morning, Father Abra-
ham!0
The second saluted the old farmer
and said, "Good morning, Father
Isaac!"
Mr.. Hayes, not to be outdone in af-
liability and politeness, extended his
hand as he said, "Good morning,
Father jacob"
Ignoring the outstretched hand of
Mr.. Hayes, the old farmer replied;
"Gentlemen, you are mistaken in the
man. am neither Abraham, Isaac,
nor Jacob, but Saul, the son of Kish,
who was sent out to seek his fathers
asses, and 10! have found them.u
