Paris, May 23.-Harry ThimbalL
ThaW, young American millionaire
from Pittsburg, gave dinner to twen-
ty-five persons on Saturday night that
cost $4,000.
Americans of humble means who
contemplate visiting the Exposition
must not believe that all dinners serv.
ed in Paris cost $4,000. They dc4t.
Mr.. Thaw's dinner cost $4,000 not be-
cause he and his guests were raven
ously hungry, but because the youth
has mania for the spectacular and
he happense to be with his check
book.
While the dinner cost $4,000, the
major part of the money was not spent
for food. Of course the food was the
best that money would buy in Paris.
Each course was prepared by diff
ferent cook and the man who pre-
pared the ducks got $50 for his SER
vice, for that is his regular fee He
is the best duck cook in the world
and rides in a carriage and employs
a valet.
AS each course of Mr. Thaw's din
ohof do
of similar fame and expensiveness,
the food ran well up into the hun
dreds.
But it was not the things to eat and
drink that made the spectacular Mr..
Thaw's dinner cost SS,000 For in

gagged. When it wasn't playing, there
was gypsy band and famous Paris.

The souvenirs, gold and diamond
trifles for each guest, from the best
jeweler In the Rue de la Paix, were
very expensive. Each waiter-there
of $40 and the head waiter solaced

So that the bill of $4,000 was not so
extortionate after all-for a Pittsburg
millionaire who is seeing life" and
has learned to draw checks on the
"pile" left by his frugal, industrious
father with both hands.
Mr.. Thaw is very we'll known in
New York, where he often delighted
the Tenderloin with the fragrant
smoke of burning money.

rangement of the relics in the Agri.

christ's Example of Patience.

While we think of our divine Lord
as an example of patience in his inter
course with the world and his dis
ciples, we often overlook the long
suffering patience Of his life on earth.
Where can we find so grand an ex-
ample of patience as is supplied by
his thirty years in Judea, when, hav-
ing within himself knowledge of his
divine mission, he nevertheless was
content to remain known year after
year as the carpenters son, and gave
himself to the commonest Offices Of
life?
Surely, whatever the appointment
that may seem to be meted out to us,
and whatever the provocations to
which we are subjected, we ought to
possess ourselves in tranquility, when
we remember the patience Of our
Lord. And let us remember that it
is the patient, in contradistinction to
the impetuous, who make the grand
est achievements.-The Christian Ad-
vocate.

"a, regarding the American indemnity
claims, Mr.. Lloyd G. Griscom, United
States Charg dAffaires, on Monday
handed to Tewfik Pasha, Minister of
Foreign Affairs, a new note, couched
in more precise terms and insisting
upon a prompt settlement.
The note produced great impress
sion, as the Porte thought the matter
postponed, if not abandoned. 1t is be-
lieved that the United States will not
wait so long this time for an answer,
American indulgence thus far not hav-
ing made satisfactory impression
upon the Sultan and his advisers.

Washington, May 23.-The crew of
the battleship Texas mutinied in the
last cruise, which has just ended at the
Brooklyn Navy Yard.
The commanding officer was insult
ed, the officers and men guarding the
mutineers were assaulted and one
petty officer was fatally injured.
Orders for the court-martial of ten
of these men have been issued. This
is the worst case of mutiny that has
occurred on board q United States YES
sci in years.
The Texas has been on long cruise,
during which it touched at Galveston
and the BermudaS. The crew was in
condition of insubordination during
the whole cruise, and the Navy De-
partment officials are at q loss to un-
derstand why severe measures were
not adopted at the very first uprising.
Some of the men were from the
tougher sections of the big cities, al
though few of the most unruly were
apprentices, men grown, with all the
recilessness of city thugs.
The trouble began in Galveston har-
Dor. AS usual, whiskey was the cause.
Some of the citizens thought that it
would be the hospitable thing to give
the iaclies all they could carry in an
alcoholic way, so they filled the sailors
on shore leave full of rum and gave
them lot to tote out to the vessel for
the men on board.
1t was not until the ship reached
New York that the court martial was
convened
Some of them will probably serve
long sentences at the naval prison at
the Boston Navy Yard.
The offences charged include assault
with intent to kill, INSTRUMENTATION,
mutiny and general disregard and dis
obedience of orders.
The specifications recite that certain
men cowardly attacked their superiors
among the petty officers, going aloft
and throwing down bolts and other
articles with the intent of killing them.
