To make q million and move to
New York City expresses the hope
and purpose of many an American.
What the proportion may be between
those who regard residence in New
York as the acme of ambition, and
those who are seeking to lay up treas
ures in heaven, we are unable to state.
Neither can we demonstrate the rela-
tive value of the rewards, but Mr..
Jerome A. Hart, Of the Argonaut, has
recently given clue to some OF the
compensations of living in New York.
Mr.. Hart spent some time in
Gotham on his return from Europe,
and page from his experience may
not be improbable to those who de.
spair of ever making the million which
would enable them to cut swell in
the great American metropolis. Mr..
Hart writes:
"a fact that has impressed me on
returning to America is that the enOr-
nous increase in the business of the
leading New York restaurants has
not increased their excellence. 1t is
quite possible to get a poor dinner at
Delmonico's Or Sherry's. You are not
infrequently served there with food
that is inferior and dishes that are
cold. As to the uncomfortable crowd.

New York restaurants, that, 1 suppose,
is unavoidable. II is the inevitable
result of the great prosperity of our
wealthy people and of the large num-
Der of people in New York with

New York restaurant prices are
distinctly high. A dinner for two at
Sherry's might be thus economically
ordered from this bill of fare:

BLOOM LIKE A TARANTULA.
Tree With Deadly Oder Discovered in San
Jacinto Mountains.

Jacinto Mountains.
A wonderful tree of unknown variety
has been discovered in a mountain
canyon in spur of the San Jacinto
mountains, down near the Mexican
line. 1t was discovered by party of
prospectors who penetrated the canon
in search of water. A branch of the
tree and its blossoms were brought to
Santa Cruz for classification, but it is
unknown to botanists in that city.
The leaves of the tree resemble, in
size and shape, the fig leaf, but they
are of vivid purple color and the un.
der side of the leaf is thickly covered
with stiff hairs which stand out from
the leaf fully half an inch. These
hairs are sharp and thorn like and cas-.
lily penetrate the skin, and when they
do so they are poisonous, causing
swelling and much pain.
The blossoms are as peculiar as are
the branches and leaves. They are OF
a rusty red color and are about two
inches in diameter. In shape they
are very good representation OF the
tarantuls. There is q huge hairy
bulb, in shape resembling the abdo.
men of the poisonous spider, and there
are several chives or stamen CORES
ponding to the legs OF that insect.
The most peculiar features OF the
plant, however, remain to be told.
Whenever one approaches the plant
or when the wind agitates the branch ches
Of the tree the flowers give off an
abundance OF perfume-heavy, sicken-
ing and deadly. This perfume has
the quality of chloroform and few
inhalstions of the odor produces un.
consciousness. The prospectors who
made the discovery of the plant were
rendered insensible upon approaching
the tree to examine it.
As the plant seems to have no bo.
tanical name, two names have been
suggested by the qualities of the plant
itself. One is tarantuia plant" the
other chloroform tree"

1t may be asked why the railway
locomotive, if as efficient as l claim,
does not pull passengers at lower
rate. Because it gives passengers SO
much room, comfort and high speed
that it has to carry ton of dead

ing so tons, assuming the passengers

with him toilet-rooms, heating stoves
and fuel, smoking-rooms, dining-rooms
and bedrooms. These houses on
wheels, and the locomotive which
draws them, have to be made very
heavy in order to get the great strength
made necessary by high speed.
If the railway could dispense with
these comforts and luxuries, and carry
passengers packed closely inside and
on the top of low-roofed, ramshackle,
unheated vehicles, like the old stage,
and at slow speed, it could pull pas
sengers at one-tenth to one.twentieth
the price OF the old stage.

And if high-priced deserts we're
selected, it would more than double
the bill-the entire dinner would cost
about $13.
Delmonico's prices are about the
same as Sherry's. The Waldorf prices
seem to be shade lower. Delmonico
and Sherry charge 80 cents for .
single slice of "roast sirloin OF beef"
Is cents for plain "roaet beef" For
the latter the Waldorf charges 70
cents. Canvasback duck at Sherry's
is billed s., at Delmeniee,s 81. 80, at
the Waldorf's $500. At Delmonico's
green peas are IS cents; artichokes,
Is; asparagus, 81; at Sherrys these
vegetables are the same. Both charge
for lettuce or chicory salad 60 cents.
At Sherry's they now serve a table
d'hotc which on the bill-all in French
lis called q diner de lure. Every.
thing about it is luxurious except the
food. Appended is the bill of fare Of

SHIPPED HER VOICE AWAY.
While II is Away For Repairs Mrs. Mssuir'
Can't Eat Nor Talk.

Mrs. E. F. Mcguire, of New York,
has sent her "voice" to Boston to be
repaired. While en- route it is to be
ensured for $500. 1t will take fifteen
days before the repairs, made neces-
sary by break in her artificial palate e
can be completed, and during that
time she will have to live on liquid
nourishment.
Mrs. Mcguire was born with q de-
fective palate. Up to her 2lst year, as
a result of this she spoke imperfectly.
At school her articulation was un-
ineligible to most of her associates,
and greatly handicapped her in her
studies. Fifteen years ago professor
in Boston made her an artificial palate
OF vulcanized rubber. This enabled
her to exercise the function of speech
as freely as any one possessing q
normal palate. The invention was
attached by hinge or swivel to an
axle extending across the back of set
of false teeth. In order to obtain
from it the best possible results the
surgeon extracted all her upper teeth
and replaced them with false set, so
as to secure an even foundation for the
axle.
Recently while she was eating the
axle broke, allowing the palate to fall.
1t stuck in her throat and nearly
caused her death.
at is more precious than diamonds
to me-" said Mrs. Mcguire. "I would
not lose it for good many thousand
dollars. 1t has been q consolation to
me for SO long. No one who has been
born with palate and can speak
plainly can appreciate what it means
to be able to speak so that your friends
understand you."

AN amusing story is told OF q man
who was recently riding on Western
train and pretended to become i'll after
eating a sandwich. Opening his grip,
he took out a hot-water bag. He got
a sympathetic porter to fill the water
bag with boiling water, and then he
opened his luncheon basket, took out
3 piece of fried steak and warmed it
up on the water bag. Then, after he
had warmed the steak, he cut it all up
with pair of scissors and fed it to
himself with pair of sugar tongs, be.
cause he would not take a chance
with a fork going around q curve.
After he had eaten the steak he un-
screwed the stopper of the water bag
and poured himself out a cup of hot
coffee. He had the grounds in the
bag all the time.

RELICS OF THE PRIMITIVE
RED MAN UNEARTHED
Prospect Avenue in Lewiston Was Burial
Ground of the Indians, Perhaps Two
Hundred Years Ago

Perhaps very few persons living in
this city realize that Lewiston offers
an excellent field for historical re-
search. But such is fact and demon
strations of relic hunters yesterday,
proved that there is field so interest
ing and realistic, that it should attract
world wide attention. A humber of cit
izens living here, who have known of
the tales told of the primitive red men,
made up an informal gathering yester-
day. and with pick and shovel began
excavating at points on the brow of
the hill, facing Snake river. The prin-
cipal work was done at point between
Third and Fourth avenues. In a very
short while several graves had been
uncovered and skeletons of Indians of
early days were revealed.
1t is said that at one time the entire
brow of Normal Hill, facing Snake
river was an Indian burial ground, but
it must have been so long ago that few
people live, who remember the fact.
1t is never the less true, and any one
who might wish to verify the fact, can
now walk along Prospect avenue and
see the indications.
The Nez Perce Indians with few ex-
ceptions do not remember when that

question but whaf%the graves were
made any where from one hundred to
three hundred years ago.
A few years ago relic hunters dug up
a great number of these graves, remov-
ing the relics found and throwing the
bones back in the graves covered them
up.
To find one of these graves, one
must look for a pile of stones forming
a monument but which now is covered
with surface dirt. The custom of the
red men of the early days, was to dig
a grave, perhaps two or three feet deep.
The corpse would then be wrapped in
robes or skins and the body placed in
a sitting posture in the bottom of the
grave. After this, whatever personal
belongings such as arrow heads bows
and arrows, trinkets, pipes and other
things would be piled around the head.
The dirt would be piled in on top of
the body, and then a monument of
rocks piled over this. which would serve
to keep away wild animals. Evidence

danger during the latter part of the
week. Saturday night he was stricken
again but rallied. On Sunday morning
he again was stricken and up to the
time of his death never regained con-
sciousness. speculiar thing, is the
fact that Mr.. Gabbert was never be-
fore sick a day of his life, so it is
stated. Friends who were acquainted
with Mr.. Gabbert speak in the highest
terms of his nobility of character.
The remains were removed to the par
