Poe Dinner Is Amusing.

The other dinner which provoked much laughter and no little indignation of an- other kind was called informally in a restaurant way down in Broad street; it's professed purpose was to honor the mem ory of America's greatest poet most re- markable editor and all-round man of genius, Edgar Allen Poe If good Father Tabb of Maryland, himself no petty poet. who every now and then says masses for the repose of Poes perturbed spirit has by this time succeeded in getting that luckless bard out of purgatory or some distance on the upward spiral, there Is probably no harm done to that supersen- sitive soul. But, if he could have heard the speeches at that dinner, he would certainly have gnashed his teeth and howled: Quick. quick. let me get back to hadesl" Yet there were men of all sorts of cleverness present who struggled in to see the show and. perhaps, get a little advertising out If it. The hour was set at and by o'clock about forty hun gry men were on hand, but no one who seemed to be the head and front of the appendix. They were waiting for Will jam Fearing Gill. Weary at last, they put Edwin Markham, the Man with the Hoe, into the chair and made a start. But when that old fish, MT. Gill, arrived, he busted the poet and substituted Col. William D. H. Washington as command ing officer. One of the courses, of course. was an elocutionary rendering of Poe's Bells an incomplete poem, since it leaves out that most important tintinnab- ulator the dinner bell.

Gay lord Wiltshire, the millionaire socialist and future candidate for the presidency, who has been nicknamed The Gay Lord Will shire, after that play "The Gay Lord Quex," arose and threw several tons of gloom over the gathering by announcing: There are no living men of genius" Col onel Washington, absent-mindedly, whet- ted his knife on his fork instead of his boot a la Shylock, and Markham wetted his tongue with more Faleruian to enable him to rise in self-defense Rev.
