ENTERTAINING IN DARKNESS
Novel Idea In Dinner Parties That
Comes From switzerland.

Comes From switzerland.
The very latest idea in entertaining
halls moi from across the Atlantic, but
from Paris and smart Swiss towns
where the aso recently began,
where the thing now is to entertain
your guests, if not entirely in the dark,
at any rate in darkness or semidark-
ness, all the time, says the London
Mail.
At a dinner party the hors doeuvres
and soup are served as usual in a brill
liantly lighted apartment, and then, to
the CONSERVATION Of people who are
new to the idea, the light goes out.
Then the door opens and the servants
come in carrying brilliantly illuminated
dishes containing the fish, and, as each
guest takes his or her portion, they
help themselves to a light at the same
time, and when every one is served the
effect is fairylike. Suppose the fish
contains lobster in some form or other,
the electric light shade is in the shape
of the head of the lobster and sheds a
delightful red glow over the table.
The most ingenuity, however, is
shown when the ices are served. Cen
orally a huge bird or beast, basket or
c%ornucopia made of ice is wheeled into
the room, blazing with lights and filled
with ices. When each guest is served
the light goes out, and only those on
the plates illuminate the room. When
strawberry ices are served the shades
take either the form of the berry itself
in crimson or the pure white blossom.
These are given alternately to the
guests and have the prettiest effect.
At a big Swiss hotel the ice is served
in this way every evening. A favorite
design is a Swiss chalet. This is
wheeled in brilliantly illuminated. In
each apartment are two lights and two
ices, and when every one is helped the
twinkling lights die away and the
chalet disappears OF it's invisible
wheeled table.
Another popular way Of serving the
ice is the polar scene. Blocks of glass
represent the icebergs and the electric
light is swathed in cold looking blue,
while the snow is made of white ice
cream. Sometimes a few white china
animals are placed in inches in the
glass to give greater effect.

miners General Bell has resumed ac-

union miners have been deported. The

Of dollars and more than a score Of

One of the Ohio delegates to the re-
cent Republican national convention at
Chicago says that Senator Fairbanks,
who was born on a farm in Union coun-
1y, O., always hated to milk the cows,
states the New York Tribune.
"Charlie Fairbanks never lodged
anything in the line of work but milk
ing the cows said the Buckeye man.
sHe was long and ungainly when he
was a boy, and 1 guess his head must
have come right up against the cow.
Anyway, he would not milk if he could
dodge it. One day he was thrown off
a horse and broke his arm. AS soon
as his arm was out of the sling he vas
ordered to milk the cows. He sudden
ly discovered that he had weakened his
wrist and that he could not milk
cows any more. His brothers waited
fol. that wrist to get well, but it v
got we'll, or at least it never seemed
to get strong enough to milk the cows
again."
Mr.. Fairbanks is in that long line

PEOPLE OF THE DAY
Colorado,s Adtntant general.

Adjutant General Sherman M. Bell,
who has been brought into prominence
because Of the prolonged miners strike

martial law is in force.

career in search of the higher educa-
ton, from which it appears that the.
young Fairbanks, by farm work and
wagon making, had saved SAL by the
time he reached the age Of fifteen
years. With it and one suit Of clothes
he travelled to Delaware, O.. where he
entered Ohio Wesleyan university. He
turned to account his rudimentary
knowledge Of carpentry by working or
Saturdays for a local contractor for
$1.25 a day.
A few weeks after young Fairbanks
arrived at college he fell and split his
only trousers beyond immediate repair.
1t was necessary for him to borrow a
pair from a fellow student, and the
loan had to be continued because he
was denied credit for a new pair at
the stores in the town. He had to send
home for his mother to make him an
other pair.
Working in college during the college
year and in the harvest fields in vaca-
ton, he was graduated from the college
and it's law course at twenty. At twen-
ty-two he was admitted to the supreme
court of Ohio, and later he went to In
dianapolis.

Senator Fairbanks was at the Wal
dorf-Astoria in New York recently. says
the New York Globe. When asked If

state, 20 use the words OF Sccy Hay,
Panama has therefore acquired "nn
incohoate right" to the protection OF the

be regarded by the government OF the
United States as an unfrlendly act.
Minister Buenau-Varllla had a long
talk today with Acting Secy. Loomls,
and reported that the new treaty would
be completed In day or two.
