A Novel Banquet.
votes.

Philadelphia has been the scene o
many notable banquetS, but what il
probably the most unique that ha
ever taken place was held there las
Saturday evening.
Walter W. Bell, an old-time news
paper man and the only survivor
the Last Mans Brotherhood, " stood
at his own table in his own dinnin;
room alone. The table was set foI
thirty-three diners. But when aget
Mr.. Bell lifted to his lips the Madeira
wine that he with thirty-two Others
bottled just forty-six years ago, there
responded to his toast only the sounC.
less voices of thirty-two impalpable
preSences. Every other member OF
the brotherhood has died.
Mr.. Bell, whose melancholy fate, il
was to drink thirty-two toasts to thir-
ty-twO vanished friends, is 60 year.
old. 1t was during the years immed :
ately preceding the civil war that the
play GeOffrY Dale was staged here.
and in one of the scenes a bottle OF
wine was done up in u wicker hamper
and stored away to be drank by last
survivor. The idea was quickly takel
up ny thirty-three newspaper men.
one for each state in the union. The
first meeting was on Febr. Is, 1865
Since the brotherhood was founded
Mr. Bell has never missed one of the
meetings. Once a year he has cate
and drank and laughed and jestec
with the slowly dwindling ranks Il
good comrades who once swore to be-
come brothers to each other for life
Each banquet has been soberer, saddle
than the last. Mr.. Bell considers tht
affair so solemn an occasion that b,
ordered no supper but confined him
self to drinking to the memories of
his dead friends.

RAT THAT CATCHES NICE.
waite Rodent In BroolkIya That
takes Delight IN snaxIng Its
Smaller Kin.


One Of the best mousers In the coun-
try is white rat owned by resident
OF brooklyn. This rat, with several of
his kind, has been kept in cage in
an unused stable in the rear of the
mans home. Their food attracted all
the mice in the neighborhood until the
place swarmed with them and they be-
gan to overflow into the house.
The man tod the children that he
would have to get rid of their pets.
The little son went back to the sta
bic aud let the rats out, so that papa
could not catch them. The grandfather
of the lot, big fellow, scurried off into
the straw, and in a minute there was
squeaking. He soon appeared with a
mouse in his mouth.
He carried it into the cage and start
ed out after another mouse, which b.
soon caught. He seemed TO have a
strong hatred for them and was indie
fatiguable IN his hunting. He was
left at liberty all night and in the
morning ten mice were dead in his
cage.
It was decided to keep the pets and
to give the old fellow his liberty
every night. This proved a good
plan. This strange mouser hunts
like a dog, going over his ground
carefully, quickly, silently and thor
oughly, now and then stopping to
sniff for scent of his prey.

QUEER CAUSE FOR ANGER.
A Busy Lawyer Got Had Because Ms
Had to Accept - Fee of Fifty
Thousand Dollars.

Attorney General Knox. while a
practicing attorney, was one of the
busiest lawyers in America. A few
years ago he was much put out be-
cause he had to accept fee of $780,
900. A friend met him as he was
leaving the Office, and he was swear
ing mad, relates the Washington
Post. He was quivering with vexa-
ton and swearing with piratical
vigor.
whats it all about this tine9''
asked the friend, who was used to
his ways, and not much concerned
over the outburst.
II have been knocked out of trip
to Egypt"
'Whew! That's worse than I
thought. What did it?"
''My folks want me to make an
argument in q case. and 1 told them
I could not be here. They told me to
fix my price, and I said $4,000, think
ing that would put them out of mind.
1t did not. They took me up, and
my plans are all upset"
''Wen, I guess you can stand to
have your plans busted" dryly re-
marked the friend. as he wondered If
there was any other lawyer in the
world who could be made mad by
being forced to accept $4,000.

SOME FOLKS HARD TO PLEASE.
A DiAagreeabIe Passenger Who
Raised an Objection to Straight-
Line Railway Maps.

'Look at that" said an ill-natured
passenger, pointing to a large map on
the wall of the railway station, reports
the Chicago Inter Ocean. isn't that
an abominable fraud?"
What's the matter with it7" asked
his mild companion.
"Look how it is distorted,' said the
other. There is a map Of railway
system from Chicago to New York. It
is made to appear as following a
straight line between these two cities,
and yet on the map it appears to pass
through every large town within 500
miles of that line.
aust notice that towns like Cincin-
natl and Cleveland are so misplaced as
to appear only few miles apart, and
Nashville, Tenn, is pulled 500 miles
from it's real location. I wonder they
have not transported New Orleans a
thousand miles northeast, so as to
bring it on the line of their railway
fraud.
Congress ought TO take hold of this
fake" he continued, "and punish heay-
lily every railroad that issues distort-
ed map"

Official announcement OF the COM
pletion of the Rock Island Short Line
between Chicago. Kansas City and Ell
Paso. Texas, has been received. Train
service will be inaugerated on March
second.
The opening OF this new line to FL
PaSo marks an important epoch in the
history Of the Great Rock Island
Route as well as in the devel opment
of the great southwest territory of
the United States.
Primarily the completion OF this
new line to Ell Paso heraldS the oper-
alton of the ''Short Line Route" be-
tween eastern gatewayS and The as
| yet practically unopened territory To
the south and southwest. At the
same time it opens .up "a new and
| powerful TranS-continental line to
the Pacific coast. Not only does the
Rock Islaud extension to Ell PaSo Sc
cure for that road the Short Line
Route" between the east and the
south and southwest, but also the
Low Altitude Route. as the country
through which it passes is OF extreme
1y low altitude and the maximum
grade of the road is less than one per
cent.
With the inauguration of train SER
vice between Kansas City and Ell Paso
the usual first class equipment of the
Rock Island road will be installed.
An entirely new supply of chair cars,
day coaches and Pullman Sleepers has
been ordered for this line and will be
strictly up to date in every particular.
Late appliances for safety and con-
vience will be used. The Pullman
SleeperS will be marvelS of beauty.
The entire train will be full veStibul-
ed. Dining cars will be part of the
equipment of the trains and meals
served ga Ia CARTE" patrons paying
only for what they order.
The new line to Ell Paso is an ex-
tension of the Liberal Branch Of the
Rock Island and runs in an almost
straight line from Liberal in the
southwest corner of Kansas to Ell
PasO, Texas, through the White Oaks
country. The scenery along the route
is beautiful and the resources of the
country through which the line passes
are ali that could be desired. The
climate of the country is extremely
| nealthful and pleasant, in fact it is
the recognized health zone Of the
| United States.

Moon Receding

Scientists say that the moon is re-
ceding farther from the earth, and
will continue to recede for countless
ages until the terrestrial day is short
er than the lunar month. Millions
of years ago, when the earth was a
molten mass, it revolved around it's
axis once every five or six hours. The
moon then was part of the cart b
but in time become broken. off and be-
came its satellite.
AS the motion of the earth decrea, e
and the day became longer the diStan-
ce of the moon became greater. Our
day is now "a hours leng and the
moon is 240,O 900 miles away. AS the
length of the terrestrial day increased
so did the distance of the moon. The
two quantities are connected by in
exorable equations If one varies, so
must the other Whenever the rota-
tion time of a planet is shorter than
the period of their mutual action is to
accelerate the motion Of the satellite
aud tt force it to move in large
orbit-to increase distance therefore.

WHISPERS ON WASHINGTON.
Small Marble Statue of the First Pres
ident That Takes On a Sim
EuInr Appearance.

Judson Clayton, proprietor of the
Lady Washington inn, at Huntington
Valley, Pa, says the PhiladeIphia
Evening Telegraph, has small mar
bic statue of Gen. George Washington
on the lawn adjoining his house that
requires constant shaving to keep it
from raising beard and mustache
Periodically a growth of moss makes
its appearance on the upper lip, chin
and cheeks of the stone figure, and if
left untouched for any length OF time
it develops into close-cropped beard
and mustache, giving to the image of
the Father of His Country an ex-
tremely dandified appearance. If the
moss is not interfered with it will
grow to a point resembling the APP
proved cut that BARRIERS give to the
boards of men of fashion. Every few
months the action of the weather
causes the face of the marble statue
to become coated with the veIvety
moss. and shave is in order. The
freak whiskers have made the statue
cutie a curiosity in the vicinity.

The Mines of That Country Yield ovez
Forty Million Dollars
Annually.

AT meeting of the shareholders of
the De Beers Mining company the
chairman stated that the De Beers and
Kimberley mines had been in full
swing for 80 years, and were new pro-
ducing diamonds to the value of S.
100000 annually. The company's
three mines at Dutoitspan, Button
tein, and Premier had four and a hall
times the area of the other two, and
had been little worked thus far. II
the De Beers and Kimberley mines
were worked out the company would
still be able to maintain it's output for
IA years. The company was now
getting a better price for diamonds,
and as soon as normal conditions re-
turned the profits would considerably
increase. He added that the stock OF
rough diamonds in London was never
lower than now.
Mr.. Cecil Rhodes wrote, says Kim
herley correspondent of the Toronto
Mail and Empire, agreeing TO pro-
posal to capitalize his life governor
ship interest in order to avoid friction
between himself and the sharehold-
ers, but he said it was a heavy sacri-
fee, which he would have wished to
avoid.

While so much clamor is being made
about the election Of United States
senators by vote of the people of the
state they represent, Why would it
not also be a wise plan to elect tie
members of the supreme court by the
people Of the states that compose
their respective districts? We notice
that Federal judges who are not
answerable to the people often decide
cases In favor of corporations revers-
ing state courts which are elected by
the people for term of years. Ism t
that pretty good reason?
