One Man Who Ordered Dishes That
He Could Not Eat.


He Could Not Eat.
When people have more money
than they know what to do with
they sometimes develop remarka-
BILE ingenuity in devising methods
Of squandering it, as in the case Of
the French marquise who has her
bed strewn with rare and exquisite
orchids, at cost of several thou
sand dollars a week.
Even more remarkable is the sto-
~ told of a wealthy Frenchman
who dimes twice week at famous
Partisan restaurant. His appetite is
the poorest, but he always insists
on having tureen filled with a spe-
cially prepared soup placed before
him. Next comes a huge joint Of
meat, from which he cuts one tiny
slice. Then follow four quails or a
large chicken, of which he eats one
mouthful. His dessert consists Of
four grapes and a sup of coffee,
while during the meal he just
moistens his lips from a bottle OF
expensive claret and another of the
finest champagne. At the conclu-
sion of each meal, for which he pays
$25, he hands $S to the head waiter,
81 to the waiter who had attended
him, S? to the woman cashier and
81 to the porter.
A weird form Of extravaganza
was that of a woman named Hitler,
who buried her husband in a $aO,-
600 collin. The coffin was made Of
richly carved mahogany, with solid
gold trimmings ia single knob cost
ing $1,75O) and lined with silk,
which is said to have cost 70 cents
an inch.

set of false teeth for which he paid

W. Thompson, wealthy rancher OF
Santa Barbara, Cal, spent $3.50
on a saddle, which is of the finest
embossed leather, heavily and most
elaborately mounted with silver.

The steel bridge across Blacl
river at this place has been com
pleted and was accepted last
Monday by the board of county
commissioners. The total cost
of the structure is $3.50 and il
is great convenience both to
town and county. 1t is to stand
COR all time and in our judg-
ment the money spent in IFS
building is well..invested.
Before accepting the bridge
when installed by the contrac
tors, the American Bridge Co.,
supervisor Singletary employed
two practical contractors, Capt
w. R. Funk and Mr.. V. A.
Sedgwick, to pass on the work
and see that the contract had
been properly carried out. After
carefully examining the bridge
Messrs Funk aud Sedgwick rec
commended that it be accepted.
Having completed the work OF
grading the hill at the foot OF
Main street leading across the
river, the chaingang is now en-.
gagged in tearing down the old
wooden bridge and when that
lob is done will resume work on
the public roads of the county
The time the chaingang spent
on the grading was in exchange
for labor rendered by the town
convicts.

 Who shall assert that Reliance and Shamrock IT. are the last word under the ninety-foot water-line rule, the simplest and broadest condition that could be conceived for giving to sell ence absolutely free scope? Or, if in deed they constitute the limit of de- velopment of the original freak as mod eled under that rule. who shall pro- claim the impossibility of yet another revolution from keel to masthead, or of the gradual development of another type of freak, as has happened in the past, when the possibilities of a typo have been exhausted? There is noth- ing in the history of the Americas cup contests to show that. though limit to fertility of resource may be reached in one type new triumphs of science may not be insugurated in another type.

THE TALK ABOUT
 FREAK CUP RACERS Cup Contests in the Past Have Developed
 Freaks. NOTHING NEW NOW. Possibility of More Freaks in the Future
 Likely.

Perhaps too much is likely to be made of the issue of freak boats in the current discussion of the Americas Gun event The present is by no means the first time that negotiations for bringing about Cup race have been embarrassed by controversy over terms. Happily the principals in the present instance are disposed to de- bate without developing i'll feeling, as has happened on occasion in the past, Except that the chief issue of the pres ent negotiations, as so far advanced, S new, 1t is not strange that there should arise differences of opinion be- tween challenger and defender. And the issue is not new in the sense that l if has been raised unexpectedly. For at least year it has been generally underst tood that it would be raised in event of another challenge coming, | particularly if Sir Thomas Upton were l the challenger To-day that veteran of 1 Cup campaigns, while expressing a personal willingness to make one more attempt under the conditions of for 1 mer contests, also expresses doubt of h!s ability to induce any English de- signer again to six his reputation by putting overheard a freak boat
 l What is a freak" boat anyway? The answer is perhaps more intelligi- ble than convincing with respect to the merits of the question affecting tho capture or keeping of the blue ribbor of the sea. A freak may be declared to be a yachting monstros ty--a craft wholly useless to the sport of yachting except for the specific event and, fur ther, valueless for affording by its de
 sign any features to contribute to thu Improvement of yacht architecture il general.
 It may not be positively asserted however, that the rules for America! cup contests should be so rearranget as to debar freaks, alleged or admitted That unique trophy stands for the fast est speed and the ablest craftsmanship that can be developed Perhaps 1t is al
 incident of less consequence than jus now appears if the effect is toward tn
 development of freaks, The Henley re eatta was not rowed in house boats A Derby or Suburban winner migh make a poor showing harnessed to coal cart or even a blsane-ham; but tha is no argument for breeding race horse
 with view to turning them to suel useful purpose. It is by no mean
The daily morning journal and courier., 1907-10-03

wholly true that Cup yachts have been useless for the general pastimes or yachting. It is not wholly true that their modelling has been of no benefit to the practice of yacht architecture. It is not true at all, in the experience of the past, that they have been so delicate as to put the challenger at a disadvantage because of the over-sea trip. Former Cup winners are now in the cruising fleets; yacht design has been much influenced and, in many features, improved by the astonishing science exploited in Cup racers; tho Vigilant, after the strain of defending the Cup, crossed the ocean and won victories abroad,
 In no restricted sense it may be as- serted that cup contests far in the past have developed freaks. Surely to American yachtsmen the mammoth Genesta, that broke the long inter val of challenging, was an appalling freak. A single sticker of her size, to say nothing of type, was unknown to American yachtsmen. She was Lu- sitania to a sound steamer. American skill, the development of which in craft of large size had been made in the schooner, was compelled to the task of new creation. The Thistle was again freak, calculated to dismay by her departure from ideas that Ameri- can designers had now got well in hand. Lord Dunraven came to shake confidence with the weird mysteries of Valkyrie The fin-keel, an astound- inglv freakish construction, came into being, and America was taking the in- itiative in the creation of freaks" by
