QUEER DINING ROOMS.
A Huge Barrel That Once Acconmo-
dated 155 Guests.

A Huge Barrel That Once Acconm
dated 1855 Guests.
An invitation to dine in a barrel has
in itself no great element of attraction;
but when the barrel takes the form OF
a champagne tun large enough to hold
81 ,000, 900 worth of the seductive bev-
erage, and when the dinner is one of a
dozen courses, each perfect of its bsnd.
the temptation assumes quite a differ
emit complexion. This was the invita-
ton issued two years ago to 155 chosen
guests at Nancy, France, and the din
ing saloon was a colossal champagne
tun built for the Paris Exposition. This
tun was in the shape of an enormous
barrel, 81 feet in length and diameter,
with a capacity of 80, 400 gallons. The
mere preparation of the wood for its
construction occupied four months;
a year was spent in building it; its
cost was 81, 100, and it was SO heavy
that a strong locomotive would be
required to draw it. Within this truly
regal cask covers were laid for 155
guests, just as many as the workmen
who had made it; and for two hours
sumptuous feast was partaken Of A
strange banquet was one which, year
ago, tempted the appetite of two doz-
en- villagers Oh the northern coast of
Norway. An enormous whale had drift
ed ashore, bringing an unexpected for
tune in oil and blubber and whalebone
to it's fortunate finders. He was mon
ster, even of its kind, measuring 80
feet from snout to TAIL" and yielded
over $12, 800 in bone and oil. In honor
of such treasure trOve the finders
decided to give banquet in the most
novel dining room on record. the inside
Of a whale, which, after the removal
of the blubber, afforded ample sitting
room for 80 guests. How far the appe-
tite OF the guests was affected by the
unesthetic atmosphere is not recorded.

Jim Kennedy turned on his heel,
and went home, sick at heart 1t was
the little maid of all work who opened

found himself waiting there rebellious
and miserable. with another letter from
Bertram Ryder in his hand. This tim e,

opened the door, and stood as if wait

sanguine and joyous.
Halo, old fellowr he cried, and
would have stopped Kennedy, but that
individual jerked free from the friend

Ryder looked after him in dismay, but
the next instant he had caught sight
of Nora. He sprang up the steps,

very kind though. when 1 explained
the situation. Heavens, Nora, what's
the matter? You're white as a ghost :"
Nora's reply was distinctly feminine.
She sank down, and burst into tears.
By the time he had succeeded in

sorrow. he began to divine the reason
of Jim Kennedy's sudden GOODNESS to-
wards himself.

He was as good as his word. That

untwist them. I was married this af-

Jim grabbed his friends hand, and

ming of a weeks engagement, promises
to become one of those perennially sue
cessful plays that are rare on the

based on an actual case which is well
remembered. The principal characters
are Mr.. Dooley, a newspaper cores
pendent and detective. Mary Mention,
daughter of wealthy man in prison
by mistake, Signor hemingway, and ad-
venturer, Birdie Dufiene, an adven-
turess, and BABY. Marion The first
TACT tells of the plotting of the con-
spirators, the second is the scene of the
kidnapping, the third shows the kid
nappers' den and the fourth a recep-
ton room at the Manhattan Boat,
where the conspirators are brought to
bay and the innocent exonerated.
Besides Gilmore, specially good work
is done by Jack Donovan, Miss Regina
