with me at one of the most celebrated
of the fashionable west end restau-
rants. Well. the repast was served in
a private room. and everything went
off splendidly. until the coffee and cigar
stage was reached and l asked that
my bill be brought to me. There, to
my utter establishment. the head
waiter, in the hearing Of the assem-
bled company, approached me and in
a loud voice asked, And how many
breads ave you 'ad. sir?'
This question l could not answer.

Status of Devons.
The fact that two breeds, the Short
horn and the Red Poll, and perhaps we
might add another the Devon, possess
the dual purposes of milk and beef
indicates that it is quite possible to
combine the two, though no one would
advise the attempt to make the Jersey
into q beef breed, or the Galloway or
Highlander into q milk breed, says the
London Live Stock Journal. There is,
however, limit to the specialization
Of the breeds, which seems to be fixed
by nature. Under domestication no cow
can be healthy in which the tactical
properties are entirely neglected. She

dutch Butter AduIterated.

And now it appears that>the famous
Dutch butter which holds so high a
reputation in England is sometimes
adulterated. Dealers in London sued
for and recovered $3.50 damages by
reason of loss on lot of Dutch butter
which. they claimed. contained 10 per
cent Of margarine. 1t was proved in
court that some of the samples shown
were adulterated and others doubtful
and suggested there that the butter
was often so skillfully adulterated that
public analysts had great difficulty in
detecting the impurities.

The dog that is shipped by express is
likely to travel in these days not only
in safety. but also in comfort. There
are various kinds Of dog crates made
especially for such use. some Of them
fiat topped and some Of those Of later
design gable topped and some oval
topped. so that nothing can be placed
on top of them. Dog crates are made
in various sizes as well as styles, some
with open. Slated sides and ends, some
closed all around. except for the open
spaces left for ventilation. Crates for
bulldogs and dogs that gnaw are made

set close together. are, iron bound. so
that the dogs can't set their teeth In
the edges.
The dog crate is provided with cup
for water which is so constructed that
the water can't spill out Of it, and this
cup is secured in the crate under the
end Of pipe to which there Is an open
ing in the top of the crate through
which the dog can be kept supplied
without opening the crate at all. At
tached to the front Of the crate Is the
dogs buffet. like long canvas wallet
or envelope in which the dogs food
is carried. The dog crate has at the
ends handles by which it can be picked
up and carried as trunk would be.
Besides these various sizes and styles
of dog crates there are also made in
various sizes smaller. lighter crates for

The presidential excursion will not
come to an end until June r. on which
date the president and his party OF
guests will arriver home in Washing
ton after having traversed Fl states
and three territories. The train is,wlth
one exception, the finest that modern
mechanical ingenuity could devise.
The exception is the special train in
which w. Seward Webb makes long
trips. Mr.. Webb has what is admitted
TO be The finest private car In the
world, and the train in which he trav-
els is always most deliberately equipped
in every way. Usually when the presi-
dent is about TO take a long journey
the Pullman Company has some cars
Just reaching completion which are in
tended for use on the Congressional
Limited, the famous Chicago Limited,
or some like trains, are made up into
a train for the presidents use. Such
was the case this time. The train has
all the modern comforts of limited
travel. There is a baggage car which
also contains a dynamo to furnish
electricity to the whole train, barber
shop and a bath room. Then there is
a dining car. This car is manned by
picked crew Of the best walters of the
Pullman service. When the train is

This car is stocked with the very fin
est the market affords. To those who
travel with the president all these
things arc free. The president does
not use this dining car, but has his
own private dining room on the cal
in which he lives.
After the dining car comes the car
devoted to the members of the cabinet
and their families. This is a very
fine state-room car and each cabinet
officer has his private room. The
newspaper correspondents on the pres
ident's train share the car of Secre-
tary Cortelyou. There are three news
paper representatives and three pho
tographers representing the great
weekly periodicals. There is special
railroad representative to see that all
arrangements on the railroads are car
ried nut, and there is a special repre-
sentative of the Western Union Tele-
graph Company to assist in the filing
of news dispatches. No individual
daily paper is allowed representatives
on the train because every paper in
the country would want to send cor
respondent If II could. So the news
papers get their reports from the rep
resentatives Of the press associations.

Besides the cars mentioned there is
a White House car on the presidents
train. This is virtually a travelling
executive Office. The presidents clerks
occupy it and Secretary Cortelyou will
there keep up the correspondence of
the president with all the world by
mail and telegraph.
The presidents own car will be his
castle. Here he and Mrs. Mckinley
will i've They will have their private
staterooms, with brass beds and silken
hangings. They will have their din
ing room equipped with silver and cut
glass; there will be fresh flowers on
the table every day. They will have
their observation room from which
they can view the country through
which the train passes. Here the
president can be alone If he chooses
or he can entertain his friends. From
the rear of the train he can bow to
the crowds as the train moves slowly
through a village, or, reaching over
the railing, he can shake hands with
the enthusiasts who crowd around the
presidents car wherever he stops for
even a minute. Or he can make
speech if he is moved to do so, and the
chances are that he will at many
places.

Tearing Doson 10 Build Uo,

Wreckers are at present employed
upon the A. 7. Stewart palace, at Fifth
avenue and Thirty-fourth street, New
York. The material of which the mag
nifcent dwelling was composed is be-
ing carted away to all parts of Man
haitian island. Much OF it will be used
in the construction of smaller build
ings.
The marble of which the exterior
walls were built is being sold to stone
cutters. Great pieces of the finest
Carrara marble, beautifully polished,
which lined the dining-room and the
ballroom, as we'll as those used in the
wainscoting of the corridors, are to be
transformed into shafts, headstones,
tombs, urns. broken columns and pill
lars to mark the resting places of the
dead.
The humiliation of this beautiful
pile is suggestive OF the fate that has
overtaken nearly all of the great mer-
chants achievements. The princely
fortune that he left is scattered. His
great store on Tenth street was long
ago eclipsed by others a mile farther
up town. His working women's hotel
has been converted to other uses.
Aside from the identity of his name
with one or two bcnevolences, there
will be nothing left in a few years to
remind the city of which A. T. Stew
art was for years the greatest merchant
that he ever lived.
He did not build as wisely as some
of the rich men OF a later day. Com
mercialism entered into nearly all of
his undertakings, and with the removal
of his personality the monuments he
created ceased to have life. OF all his
investments. only those which were
made to benefit others have any vital
ity today. These. unfortunately, arc
neither numerous nor conspicuous Ia
a city and a country which in our time
abound in great philanthropies.

Macmillan to assume crown that it
had no right to offer.
When the civil war permitted, the
United States came to Mexicos rescue.
France was warned to withdraw her

army to the Rio Grande. The Mexican
patriots were supplied with arms. The
French army retired. The deluded
Macmillan remained, to be captured,
tried, and executed by the people he
had attempted to subjugate.
That the Emperor Francis Joseph
should cherish against the Mexlcans
resentment for his brothers death was
quite natural, and yet unreasonable.
For, while Mexicans held the rifles
that ended Maximilian's life. Louis
Napoleon loaded them and the United
States pulled the triggers.
The Mexicans. though they had suf-

forgive and forget, but the Austrian
