CASES OF IMPORTANCE.
Many to BE Decided BY state Court
OF Appeals.

RICHMOND. VA, NOV. S.-MahJ
cases of far-reachrg importance ana
unusual interest are to be passed
upon at the coming term of the VIZ
ginia Court of Appeals. which De-
gins its winter session in this cry
at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning.
It is probable that the common
wealth docket and the corporation
commission docket will be disposed
of the first day-that Is. 30 far as
the arguments are concerned.
Temperance people throughout Tue
state will await with much anxiety
the decision. involving an appeal from
the corporation commission in the
matter OF the shipment by express
companies of packages OF liquor 10
towns having prohibition ordinances.
This litigation was precipitated Dy
the action of several dry" Soutn-
west virginia towns. which have mu-
nicipal laws forbidding express COM
panies to bring liquor within Their
gates. The Rotert Porther Brewing
Company figures conspicuousiy IN .ne
fight. but a number Of other brewers
and liquor men also are deeply IN
terested in 1t.
Perhaps the most novel Of all the
cases on the docket is that which
will determine whether or not the
estate of the late Mayor ]. McCue'
of Charlottesville, will have to bear
the expenses of the prosecution which
landed him on the gallows to expiate
tn. crime of wife murder.
The states bill against the McCue
estate amounts to some $4,000, ana
Includes the cost of building the gal
lows. City Sergeant Clifford w. Ros'
ers. the man who oficiated at the
execution would accept no fee for the
sruesome work he did.
Another case Of interest TO be de-
cided at the winter term Of the court
is that Of Burton VS.. the common
wealth which comes up from one oil
Richmond's tribunals. This litigation
involves matrimonial infelicity and q
fight for alfmony.

APPRoPRIATEs CHEF.
King Alfonso Follows Leopold's Elk
ample and Captures Prize Cook.

Special CabIegram to The Star.
PARIS, November 30-King Alfonso
has carried off Marechal, the chef of the
jockey Club. who began proceedings at
Madrid November 1. The Jockey Club
was loath to let him go, but courtesy to
a young gourmet of monarch prevented
the kitchen committee from entering into
competition with him. AS a matter of
fact, the club has coolly appropriated the
chef of another club, the equally aristo-
cratic but trfle duller Union" that is
to say, the Cercle de rUnion Diploma
tiuue, on the other side Of the boulevard.
almost opposite Having lost Marechal,
the Jockey Club has bought over the
Unions chef This is the second time the
Union has suffered indirectly through roy
atty.
Some time ago King Leopold, having
enjoyed "canard aux navets at the
Jockey Club, instantly secured the ser
vices Of the author of the masterpiece
who was Marechars deputy. The Jockey
Club bowed and went over the way
where it bribed one of the Unions COOKS
as a substitute. Now the great Marechal
himself has been captured by royalty.
and once more the Union CLUB. when
never seems to mind and apparently pos
sesses an ineXhaustible supply OF COOKS
has furnished a successor. Indeed, Mare
chal himself had come originally from
the Union.
He is said to be unrivaled in the prep
aration Of carp and grouse.
He himself said that he has no real
rivals in anything. He acknowledges that
King Edwards chef Is brilliant artist,
but says there is just ever so httle or
romantic touch about his manner. Now,
Marechal does not find fault with ro-
nance and poetry in cuisine. But. he
concludes after all. is not true classiclsm
the real thing? / am classic.

GERMANY FEARS HARD TIMES.
Question of the Unemployed Serious
Problem This Winter.

Special Cablegram to The star
RERLIN, November 30.-Herr Richard
calwer. one of the best authorities In
Germany on social questions. contributes
an article to the "Wirtschaftliche korre-
spondenz'' in which he discusses the
question of unemployment in the en-
oire.
Hardly day passes. he says In which
it is not reported from some part of the
country that working hours have been
reduced or Workmen dismissed Trade
unions are holding conferences all over
the country to discuss what had best
be done in the face of the hard times
both present and 10 come.
Several of these unions have already
petitioned municipalities to take steps to
alleviate the misery. The coming winter
is looked forward to with the deepest
anxiety.
Enumerating the unemployed Herr Cal
wer's first table embraces about one
third of the total wage-earning classes.
viz, A. 1888 900 persons. Allowing for those
who have found employment in agricul-
tural pursuits. he reckons that among
these 10000 are at the present moment
unemployed: and extending his argument
10 the aggregate he reckons that in
Germany there are now $4,000 unem-
ployed.
ture he asserts that in December this
number will have reached 6oO.0N. and
under the most favorable circumstances
will not be below $4,000 Should suitable
stems not be taken in time the number
may even reach three-quarters of a mill
