Advance in Costs Of Banquets
BY WILLIAM RYAN.

1t Is not always the NEST costly bhn=
quet that Is the f1est enjoyed but IL
rare dishes and rare wines be served the
caterer must have big pay 1 remember
many years ago when an elaborate din
ner In New York did not usuaiy cost
over $40 cover A little later SIS cover
was the ruling price for fashionable
spreads. But the market continued to
advance until $40 dinners became COM
mon. have not kept run of Delmonioos
or Sherry's banquet quotations for sew
eral years past, but I would not be sur
prsed to hear that $50 a plate was often
paid in these multimlllionaire days.
In Richmond banquets cost 80 a cover
as far back as 1880. The $25 per cover af-
fairs were just coming in fashion in New
York about that time and 1t was not
'ong before Richmond got In line. Hon.
John S. Wise son OF Gov. Henry A.
Wise, gave a dinner to a field sports
club that cost $25 a plate. 1t was the
first ultra swell repast that had been
served in the Virginia capital. l had al
ready had experience as committeeman
in getting up banquets and therefore
such entertainments. But $25 plates being
novel in that part of the country
asked John Smelling. then the leading
caterer of Richmond, how he had the
conscience to charge Wise so much His
reply was that he let off the host light
ly. II made less profit on that dinner at
SIS cover" he said than l used to
make on $40 and s12 prices. Wise wanted
not only the best of every thing to eat
and drink but he wanted profusion of
flowers and a band of music; and all
these extras cost money"
Entertained Lavishly.
Between 1885 and 1895, the late Lewis
Ginter entertained a great deal at his
home in Richmond. He gave dinners to
his friends that were up to the highest
New York style. One dinner in particu-
lar was as unique perhaps as any ever
served for Vanderbilt or Pierpont Nor
gan. The late Moses D. IIoge. D. D., the
distinguished Presbyterian preacher, was
one of the guests and he remarked after
wards that he had never seen anything
in Europe or America that could be COM
pared to that dinner at Maj. enters;
and DR.. Hoge was good judge. In the
first place. Delmonico came from New
York to serve the dinner and the flowers
were shipped from New York. AS the
entertainment was private, no one out
side of the hosts household and Del
monico's establishment could know how
the statement of the account read. But
it was generally supposed that the din
ner cost fully $40 cover.

A typical Indian funeral took place at
Fort Hall Indian agency, Idaho, recently
and all the ancient usages and customs or
the race were carried out with dramatic
effect
After laying out the dead Indian In
handsome native costume, painting one
side of his face an olive green and the
other a bright orange, the friends pro-
ceeded to collect the effects of the de-
ceased and divide them among the
mourners. The trading post was next
visited Here about $3.50 was spent in pur-
chasing such articles as beads, blankets,
fancy bags. red cloth, shawls, pipes, cali
co, and other things, all dear to the In
dian heart.
Then active preparations began for the
funeral proper, which Yves set for the
following day Throughout the night
those who had been favored with the per-
sonal effects of the dead Indian howled
and shrieked in hideous fashion. Early
In the morning the body was carried to
a convenient hill. There it was met by
delegation of nourners composed for the
most part of squaws. stripped to the
waste and with their legs barred to the
knees. AS soon as the procession of body
bearers hove in sight the squaws set up
a low wailing cry, and without Interrupt
ton, save for occasional ear-splitting
shrieks from the braves, they kept this
up for some time in rude unison. AS they
walled they cut their arms and legs with
knives, bits of stone, or glass, causing the
blood to flow freely. When the flow from
these wounds partly or completely ceased
they would tear the gashes with their
fingernails to bring on renewed bleeding
This tor ture is enc Of the prime evidences
Of their sorrow. Above the din created by
the mourners a voice could occasionally

services rendered for three months,

The doctors treat all forms of dis
ease and deformities and guarantee a
cure in every case they undertake. At

ceased.
For three hours this ceremony went on.
Then some friend of the dead Indian
conceived the idea Of double funeral as
more itting evidence Of grief. The
mourners at once proceed to exhume the
body of a little child of the deceased that
had been buried the week previous. After
the body had been taken from the grave
it was given to a big squaw. who clasped
the little one to her BOSOM mounted
pony, and :ods back AL forth through
the crowd shouting the virtues of both
father and child In fantastic fashion.
In the meantime a grave had been dug.
1t was twice as large as was necessary
to contain the body, but another was pre-
pared for the child at right angles witt
that of the father, making the whole re-
semble a letter T. The bodies wsre ther
tumbled into these rough holes In the,
ground, the head of the child resting
against the side of the father Both were
appropriately painted and decorH ed and
then the squaws set up an awful wall
ing, which in effect eclipsed any of their
previous efforts. Next came the do IA
tons to the dead. Articles of every le-
scription which might prove beneficial OF
entertaining to the Indian in the "hapxl
hunting ground were iavished upon Il
body until the grave was filled to With
a short distance of the surface The
enough dirt was heaped on to fill Il
grave. and pole was stuck in
ground, to which were attached a me-
cine flag and the dancing and war heal
dress of the deceased. Two of his ia .
vorite horses were then killed on Il
grave am this ended the burial rites.

Cost In Detail.
Men and women who live well. but who
have not acquired the banquet habit
often wonder how formal dinner can
cost so much as S25 cover, That Is
easily explained without allowing very
big amount for the caterers profit. 1t
Is commonly said that the wines are the
principal item of expense. Well, while
1t is true that good wines come high
there are other items that are also quite
costly. Terrapn is high, and so are these
articles Of food; Canvasback capon
pate; de froi gras, truffles, German as
parngus ond berries out II season. Ter
rapin for one person will cost from 81 to
$50; capon, 81 to $3.50; pate; de froi
gras, 81 to $3.50. A dinner of such dell
cacies as these would cost nearly $40 a
plate without anything to drink. With
several standard wines and with clarets,
sherry and champagne and after coffee
cognnc, al of first class quality, to say
nothing Of extremely rare vintage, would
quickly run the bill up to s20 be the BAN
oueters never so moderate in their drink
Ing A few flowers and music would
make the bill larger and the caterer
would have to do a brisk business to
grow rich on his margin of profit.
The $40 and $50 dinner would be out of
my class but | can readily imagine that
a banquet artist that Is to say a cater
ing genius, would provide something on
that scale without racking his brain or
robbing his patron.
Since writing the above, l have read
of banquet in Berlin, given in honor
of representatives of the Virginia-C Caro-
lima Chemical Company and representa-
tives of the German Potash Syndicate,
by one Jules Ribbert, that throws all
former banquets in the shade. The wines
are said to have cost 200 marks (about $50
per bottle That record is surely not to
be soon broken. l would say Herr Rib
bert had gone too far. No wine could be
worth intrinsically 200 marks a bottle.

The recollection of that afternoon

condemned IL as unwise; but we were
clustered with alarm. grasped at a

The sum was part in specie, part in
bank paper and part in circular notes,

Moreover, as we were both convinced
that the hollows of the links were alive
with hidden spies upon our movements,
we hoped that our appearance with the
box might lead TO a parley, and, per-
haps, compromise.
