The clergy of the diocese Of Long Is
land are chuckllng over what they re
gard as a good joke on their recently
chosen bishop, the Rev. DR.. Frederick
Burgess. 1t may be recalled that the
recent convention at which DR.. Bur
CESS was elected lasted from early
morning until past midnight Ballot
after ballot was taken. and no clergy
man had a majority. Finally DR.. Bur
CESS arose and made a motion to ad'
journ.
"Gentlemen," he said, 81 move we
adjourn. We've been here all day and
all evening celebrating AID voting
continuously. and we've all tired and
in no mood for appropriate action.
Anything we do now will be only a

The motion was not seconded. and
the balloting was taken up again.
About three minutes after DR.. Burgess

son of a prophet" No signs of regret
have yet appeared over that midnight
action, which the doctor raised his
warning voice against.

MOST COSTLY OF DRUGS.
Some Sell Mt Retail For More Than
Their Weight In Gold.

'The price Of many drugs used in
medicine Is astonishing to those who
are not acquainted with the subject"
remarked a druggist. There are sew
eral that are worth their weight in
gold about 500 an ounce, while 81,
IS or So an ounce are quite common
prices in pharmacy. filled prescrip-
ton the other day that cost $50. But
there is one drug that l can recall
which Is worth much more than its
weight in gold. That Is pseudo physo-
Jtigmine. l don't think that 1t has a
popular name. 1t Is too rich for that.
In the pharmacists list it is quoted at
81 q grain, or $43750 an ounce. The
seed from which the drug Is made
grows in India and Brazil, as well as
In parts of South Africa. This seed,
tradition says, was once used by ma
tive chiefs as an ordeal. The ordeal
generally resulted in the death of the
man upon whom it was tried and so
was considered as great truth finder.
The prepared drug Is sometimes used
now in prescriptions for the treatment
Of heart disease.
Another drug which takes the palm
for costliness is, curiously enough, the
one which is perhaps the most widely
known by name of them all to the gen.
eral publlc-namely, musk. It's retail
price at the present moment is about
$50 an ounce, 5000 a pound apothecary
or 21a times the value of pure gold, "a
carats fine. 1t is obtained from the
musk deer, very rare animal, and iS
contained in a follicle, OF which there
is only one in each animal, so that an
ounce Of the drug represents approx
mately one of these precious animals.
AS it is largely used for scent, the de-
mand constantly exceeds the supply.
and the price has been steadily ad-
vancing. There is no reason why it
should not go to $3.50 or $500 an ounce
during the next few years, as the musk
deer is gradually vanishing from the
face of the earth. kansas City Jour

learning that one of the German states
will disappear as a stamp issuing coun-
try in few months. At present the
kingdoms Of Wurttemberg and Bava.

A REMARKABLE BANQUET.
The Pine Forest Dinner That was
Served In DeImOnico's.

One of the most remarkable private
dinners In the history OF Delmonico's
was given In New York recently by
Mr.. George Heye. For the pleasure OF
entertaining nine guests from fifteen
minutes past Z o'clock until half past
10 o'clock Mr.. Heye transformed the
red room of Delmonico's into minia-
ture bower In a pine forest and spread
before them a repast which cost him
about 500 for each of the ten covers
laid.
Hundreds Of pine boughs, says the
New York Herald. had been brought
from the woods. and these were so ad-
justed upon the walls, ceiling ana hoor
of the apartment as to completely con
ceal their original character. Invisible
wires were stretched through them and
connected with hundreds Of small In
candescent electric light globes, which
pcepcd out from the green boughs on
walls and ceiling. Each globe was
shaped like an orchid and shone with
n pale green light that lent reality to
the semblance of the rare woodland
flower.
Over the crash that covered the floor
had been strcwn pine boughs. tangles
of thick woodland moss and bushels OF
autumn leaves in all their rich tints OF
scarlet yellow and gray. \ round Ia
bic, eight feet in diameter, made of UNI
finished oak rose from the litter OF
moss and leaves. and It's stout legs were
completely covered with green and gray
moss. Ranged around the table were
the ten chairs, each Of which. especial
IN built for this occasion. was made of
black birch bOughs fashioned in varied
rustic designs ana with the bark left
on the surface.
The center Of the table was mound
of ma,dcnhair fern. moss and oak
leaves in their auUmnal tlnts. Twenty
or thirty electric globes, like those peep
ing from the walls, were arranged
among the ferns and mosscs i'm the CEN
fer of the table and in front Of each
cover was cluster of thirty of the
rarcst Of natural green orchids that the
hothouscs of New York could supply
There was 10 other illumination of the
room than that furnished by the green
globes of the small electric lights, and
the effect was like that Of twilight in
pine forest.
The name cards for each guest were
painted on oak leaves and the menus
on squares Of white birch bark about
10 by I inches in size. The wines were
all of the rarcst and most expensive
