THE SCHLEY CASE.

Public opinion is SO decidedly
in Schley's favor, that the find
ing of the Court OF Inquiry
against him met with popular
disfavor.
Secretary Longs approval OF
the finding of the Court and
his "slap" at Dewey for daring
to express a minority opinion
increased the popular prejudice.
Following this has come
Roots reprimand of Lieut.. Gen.
Miles and President Roosevelt's

plete vindications will suit the

EXPENSIVE DINNERS.
Two That We're Served In DelmOniC0' S
Old Place In New York.

Probably the most expensive
dinner ever given at Delmon-
ico's old restaurant, on Four.
teenth street, New York, was
that given by Mr.. Morton Peto
to the tea and coffee merchants
of New York, 200 in number.
1t cost $4,000. The rarest wines
and the most elaborate decora-
tons were mere incidents. The
menu cars were of gold, and the
guests sat on silk cushions, on
which their names were em>
broidered. In the center of the
table was a miniature lake, in
which swan swans taken from
Central park. Clara Louise Kel~
log received 900 for singing
two songs at this feast and a
present besides of a diamond
bracelet. The salon was smoth-
cred in flowers.
Another dinner given at one
of the Delmonico esta bl1shment
for ten people cost $500 a plate.
1t was luxurious enough to be
classical. The walters, five of
them, were dressed as sailors.
The host was a yachtman, aud
he bought the walters clothes.
The guests drank, Or rather,
tasted, every vinted liquor that
has ever been brought to Amer
lea. They finished with a pousse
cafe made Of eleven liqueurs
Before each plate sat a cut glass
basin about twenty inches in
diameter and four inches deep.
Each was nearly filled with
water perfumed with altar of
roses, on the surface of which
hoated half open pond lilies In
the basin a perfect model Of the
yacht owned by the host was
placed. It was cut in red cedar
wood, wi h cabin, rail, wheel for
steering, brasswork. such as be>
laying pins and binnacles; man
ropes worked and trimmed with
sailor knots; scraped pine 1nasts
and booms, riggings OF silk en-
cords, colored as it would be in
the original, and sails of satin.
There was a gold oar and many
other gewgaws.--N New York Sun.

Fish to Fry.

A remarkable affair is from
Morehead City which is vouched
tor by reliable parties here. A
fisherman living near Bogue
sound in a small shanty saw a
large school of fish 60 up one OF
the creeks or blind CUTS that
enter the marshes in that To-
cality. He had a quantity Of
nets at hand and a numerous
family, and they all turned out
and closed the mouth of the
short creek, capturing the entire
school of fish, which were main
ly large trout. The lucky fisher
man has kept the fish enclosed
in the place, taking them out as
fast as he could handle them
selling large quantities to the
fish dealers at Morehead City
His sales have amounted to S4,~
900 worth of fish, and several
thousand dollars worth still re.
main in his pond. These facts
were learned from a dealer who
came here for additional funds
with which to handle the fish
for shipment. 1t is considered
one of the most remarkable in>
cidents on record on this part of
the coast.

The scheme does not meet with the gen
eral favor of EunaIonians. who think
some more expensive memorial should be
erected.
A proper inscription is to be placed on
the tablet and here, too. the sentiment of
the people is directed against the idea Of
