new field within q very short time.

 Hard times are bound to be full of unpleasant shocks and stunning sur. prises," he said. T remember the last panic and sermon that Mobile pas. tor preached.
 The pastor, in g powerful discourse, urged economy and retrenchment on his congregation. In view of the hard times there should be no extrava. gance, no useless expenditure, he said, but every outgo ought to be pared down.
 His strong sermon had swift and unexpected effect. The congregation before dispersing, held church meet ing and unanimously reduced the mans salary from $2.000 to s1,5O0."

NOT A cREolTAsLE SHOWING FOR NAVAL COMMITTEE.

There is strong opinion in mili- tary and naval circles that the sen ate committee, of which Senator Hale is chairman, has not made a credita- ble record in its recent investigation of the claim that the armor belt on our warships is too low for adequate defense. Senator Hale promised that the inquiry should go deep into every phase of the question. but it is eyi- dent that he is prejudiced and favors the bureaus of the navy department and is more disposed to listen to the old naval officers there than to the younger. more recently and better ed ucated men who have had more re cent experience with ships at sea and more recent opportunity for the examination of the best war vessels of foreign powers. The dignity and equanimity of Senator Hale's commit tee has been somewhat shaken by learning that Admiral Evans, after hearing from the young and progress sive officers of his fleet, is of opoinion the armor belt, are just. Of course, it is not agreeable to hear. after hay ing spent hundreds of millions of dol lars on these new ships, that they are defective in the most important par ticnlar and that many millions more will have to be expended in order to improve them. but it is surely much better to have found this out now, than to learn it after it is too late.

DESTROYING $500 AT ONE SITTING.

Advocates of the simple life were doubtless discouraged over the re- cent action of a New York million aire. who gave dinner to fifteen of his friends. which cost $500 a plate. Those who were present report a pleasant time and went home at an early hour. loud in their praise of the host, and wishing him many returns of the night. The explanation of their ability to go home at the end of the riotous affair, and enjoy the same feeling that oyereomes those who sit up all night with plain coffee and cake in the rural community, is doubt less found in-the fact that they did not eat $500 worth of food per plate, or come within eighty city blocks of 1t.
 It is said that one of the foremost chefs of the world. when asked to devise the most expensive dinner possible, found s10 per plate an ex, travagant figure. He declared that no man on earth could eat more than that amount of food at one sitting Anyone who doubts this statement can take a ten-dollar bill and try the experiment. Then. how did this mil lionaire spend $500 "per platter" The following news item will explain to some extent:
 '"The table was in the form of a large hollow square. inside of which and level with it was a large bur. nished copper tank, filled with water In it swan many aquatic birds rang ing from swans to ducklings, while below lurked rare fish imported for the occasion. The edges of this min iature lake were banked with ropes and in the center fountain spouSd wine, which, falling into a special re ceptacle, was carried by an ingenious arrangement of pipes to the place oi each guest Of course. the particular kind of wine was changed with each course, but all through the dinner il literally ran like water. The coffee served after dinner cost s22 a pound and the cigars s5 apiece"
 It is easy to see that by such de vices as these the cost per plate can be multiplied indefinitely, but the fact that there is positive limit tc what a millionaire can possibly cal at one meal, ought to be cheering tc the ordinary man, who eats his han and and feels comfortable and happy afterwards Nobody has much ad vantage over him when it comes tc the food proposition, although he may miss the music of the Italian band and the rare aquatic fowl swimming around and splashing water over hi: dress shirt.
