osburn is very proud man this
morninp.
Our little town is all broke up at
present over the loss of the Gener-
al Managers residence by fire which
took place about 1880 the night of
the 22nd. Every citizen Of this
place appears to hate it almost as
much rs if ii bad been some of their
own property and just few DAYS
or weeks at most would have seen
as nice a residence as we have in
this State. The inside Of the house
was finished with the finest quarter

the work OF some of the miners. who
have been let out here, or strikers,

been some little difference between
the miners and the Co., but of no
great amount, as some would make
believe. The carpenters who were
at work on thu managers house lost
adj their tools. All told under
stand their loss was about $500. 90.

sultan,s Costly Dinner.
From the Philadelphia Bulletin.
 Tho Sultan of TurlSey's dinner (

From the Philadelphia Bulletin.
 The Sultan of Turkeys dinner costs him $5000 day.
 The table is of silver, and 1t Is said to be the most exquisite specimen of the silversmiths art that the world contains.
 The dishes are brought in upon the heads of jublaklars, or cooks assist ants, and each dish Is covered and sealed with the royal seal. There are always fifty or more dishes, and all are set before the Sultan at the same time. He eats usually from about six.
 Though the Sultan himself is total abstainer, the finest vintage wines are always offered to such guests as dine at the palace.
 Every dish the ruler partakes of Is first tasted in the kitchen by the grand vizier, lest it be poisoned and 1t is i'm mediately thereafter that it's sealing takes place. Always before he can fall to on dish the Sultan must break It's seal.
 It is not because he eats $5000 worth of food himself that the Sultan's din ner bill is so expensive. He eats. as a matter of fact, no more than a half dollars worth But the guests and re- tainers who dine at his expense num- Der daily several thousand.
