SALT CELLAR OF LONG AGO.
Was Distinctive Mark Of Caste in the
 Middle Ages.

This is a medieval salt cellar" said the antiquary. Tt Is huge, it is shaped like a castle, 1t Is solid silver and the price-but what is the use telling the price to you? Very magnificent. ehs In the middle age. you know, the salt cellar was the principal table orna ment. Guests sat above CT below the salt as they were prominent or the reverse. Where do you think you'd have sat, eh? Queer table manners they had in those days. The fastidious had individual knives, forks and spoons, but the common people ate with their fingers. You helped your self from the general dish with your own spoon if you had one, but if you were very, very fastidious you licked the spoon clean first. The food was queer-rich, rank food-swans, herons porpoises, garlic. verjuice, saffron There was mead and wine in floods and ushers stood about whose duty 1t was to lead to convenient couches such guests as had dined too we'll These ushers, being overworked, were continually striking for more pay. The hours were queer, too. Breakfast dawn; dinner, ten o'clock; supper, four o'clock in the afternoon"

ter's office; James Kennedy, secretary to Deputy
Commissioner Frank J.. Goodwin in the Water
Department. and Charles O'Reilly, an inspector
of accounts in the office of the Commissioner of
Accounts, all friends OF Charles F. Murphy,
were forced to resign their respective places
yesterday. Their dismissaIs probably due
to the fact that the leader of Tamnany Hall
went out of his way at the meeting of the Tam
many executive committee last week to dis
parage and hulnliate the friends of Mayor Nc
Clellan and Water Commissioner O'Brien.
John ]. Dalton is a nephew of William Dalton.
Tammany leader, sharing the leadership Of the
9th District with County Clerk Peter ]. Dool-
ing. His place paid 50 800 year. He had to
pay out Of that for bond for $4,000 Mr..
Dalton handled something like S5.O00.OOO during
the year.
Commissioner O'Brien, when asked why the
men had been asked for their designations, would
only reply:
are exempt and they have to go when 1 say SO.
That's all have to say about it"
Another report yesterday was that Patrick
Keenan,, the City Chamberlain. had resigned,
but this could not be confirmed.
With reference to the laying off of large
number of inspectors last week Commissioner
O'Brien explained that the same thing was done
at this time every year, and he denied that
there was any political significance in their be-
ing let out. 1t explained that it was not
usual to allow any tearing up of streets from
December to April. except absolutely necessary
work, such as for gas companies and broken
mains.
