s. Writers dear, to the reading public sat
last night at the extremely e-Rapha-
elite board in that musty grotto, Ye
Jolly Dungeon. in the Zangheri.
The author of ssAlfce in Wonderland"
Who would have been intimately con-
cerned, is dead, so he couldn't be there,
but the author of The Purple Cow"
was therein fact, it was he who gave
the dinner. Josephine Dodge Daskarn
that was, came with her husband, Mr..
Selden-Bacon that is. Emery Pattle
and his wife, Juliet Wilbur Tompkins,
were there. So was Miss Carolyn
Wells and Mrs. Inez Haynes Gilmore;
and 50 was Burgess Johnson, the poet
of Franklin Square.
The dinner came to be given in this
way: One night when visiting friends
who frequently contributed to certain
popular magazine Of fiction, Gelett Bur-
CESS, author of "The Purple Cow"
carelessly remarked that he could write
in an hour poem that would yield the
price of dinner for eight. His friends
defied him to do it, and straightway
he called for ink, pen, paper and ruler
to measure off the necessary length
of the poem.
In fifteen minutes short of the hour,
Mr. Burgess had his poem complete
gave up the price and Mr.. Burgess cast
about to find his guests. His first
purpose was to gather all the uncon-
genial people he could think of at his
feast. But his literary friends are
hopelessly congehial, so he had to con-
tent himself with the guests already
mentioned.
In the ghostly grot of the Zangheri
they gathere8 one. and all. The walls
of this dungeon exhibit stone and
mortar and no decorations save a few
jimmies, old-fashioned carbines, an
cient horse pistols, javelins and cut
lass or two. The ceiling is hung with
beer stems. The board is in all reality
q board upon sawbucks. The illunlin-
alton on this; occasion was supplied by
candles stuck in empty bottles.
The dinner began. The topic for
discussion, Mr.. Burgess announced,
would be, is the White Queen in
Through the. Looking Glass morally
responsible p A number of Wellesley
girls who are going to debate this point
seriously had. written to Mr.. Burgess
asking his opinion. To give the girls
the light they need Mr.. Burgess had
his guests debate the question.
Josephine Dodge Daskam, that was,
said:
II believe the Queen was certainly ir-
responsible, but she would have been
so much helped if her hair had been
put up in curl papers"
Other guests gave varying opinions.
Mr.. Burgess said:
Take thought. The Red Queen was
so unpleasant that she must have been

RISING Due to Mad Mans Act.

BERLIN, March 3.-The rising of
native troops in the Cross and Nsassan-
ang rivers region of German KAN
erun, West Africa, was caused by the
eccentric conduct of Count Won Puck
Ter, and was directly due to the theft
of a lantern. Won Pueckler, the gov
ernment's commissioner, was formerly
an employee of the Northwest Kamerun
company. He wrote Herr Scholler,
president of the company, long letter
regarding the stolen lantern, conclud-
ing with the assertion that he intended
to make the property Of the white men
respected by burning five villages.
Herr Scholler protested, but too late.
Won Pueckler, with twenty-five men
tried to arrest the head men of one Of
the villages, but the count was killed
and his escort with difficulty escaped.
In few days the eompanys factories
were burned down and four agents
were killed. A punitive expedition has
now arrived in the hostile district. Won
Pueckler was unbalanced by the effect
of the equatorial climate.

GOSSIP FROM GOTHAM.

After several years of desuetude,
Fifth avenue for a Sunday promenade
comes into use again, and since recent
ly the world Of fashion may be seen
walking in this thoroughfare between
the hours of 1 and /. This custom is
DID, but of late years the crowds were
so dense that the persons who made
it a fashionable pastime gave up their
walks or else used Madison avenue.
But the crowds have thinned out, and
last Sunday especially the avenue was
thronged with the members of the So
called 400" Probably the bright,
CHEEKY day had something to do In
coaxing these folk from their luxurious
homes. Mr.. and Mrs Charles B. Alex
ander were noticeable in the crowd be-
cause of Mrs. Alexander's huge purple
hat. Her gown was black velvet trim
med with ermine. Mrs. Alexander's
reddish gold hair glistened in the sun.
and the persons who recognized her
could understand why John Sargent
said her hair was the most "colorful"
he had ever seen.
Escorted on either side by her two
good looking sons, the stately Mrs.
Burke Roche walked for several hours.
Browns and grays are evidently her
favorite colors and these neutral tints
become her well. She wore Havana
brown and a superbly tailored crepe 1t
was. She carried a stole and muff of
brown ostrich feathers. In the course
Of her promenading she stopped at the
Henry Clews house. Mrs. Moses Tay-
lor Campbell was accompanied by two
well groomed youths. and from the fact
that she carried prayer-book bound
in ivory one might infer she had at
tended church. This popular widow
moleskin stole was wound twice about
her neck and her severe cloth gown
was trimmed with circlets of the fur.
For some reason the Western trip
mapped out by Mrs. George J. Gould
was not carried out as planned. and the

you?
l. Washington. His greatness made

which, washing different shores, is
called by different names.

peramentally a woman

temporaries; appropriated by pos

Throughout life honorably courted-

gotten in the great achievement of his
Administration.

cessor.
16. Lincoln. Now abideth these
three-the Proclamation of Emanci-
patton. the Gettysburg address am
the Second Inaugural address, and
the greatest of these is--Who may

II. johnson. What irreverent
critic of the Southern bourgeois was
it who said that he was "a repre-
sentative of the poor white trash of
the SOUTH"
IS. Grant In the scales of the

81. Cleveland Gratifying his politi-

his party but saved his country.
"a. Mckinley A political and So
cial solvent who absorbed and was
absorbed by whatever he touched;
and yet a lovelier spirit never passed
from earth than when he died
