SPILLED SOUP
ON SWALLOWTAILS
Recent Banquet at Yale, Which Taft
Attended Resulted in Whole
sale Runation of Dress
Suits.
TOO MANY AT TABLES
All Went Well Until Waiter Slipped
on the Floor and Then the
Whole Force Became
Grossy.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.--According
to reports brought back from New
Haven by some of those who accom-
panied President Taft, many of the
best dress suits in Yale University
were wrecked at the banquet in the
university dining hall tuesday night.
Yale's dining hall is big enough to
hold 1000 or 1,100. or possibly 1,103,
diners, but when it comes to adding
hundred more and when some of
the space is used for a separate plat
form for distinguished guests, the
walters do not have any too much
room.
As the story goes, all New Haven
was present in the glory Of Tuxedo
or evening clothes. Everything went
smoothly for the first course or two,
but suddenly one OF the troop Of sew
eral hundred negro walters slipped on
the stone floor. His trayful of dishes
made a parabolic curve and descend
ed gently, but firmly upon the head
Of benevolent gentleman with side
whiskers and Yale pennant inches
| square in his sparse hair
That one accident started it all
Afterward there was no peace, and as
the banquet went on and as the din
ers continued to leave the tables to
greet old friends the avalanche oi
dishes increased. Many poor maj
was caught as he was about to make
away with rare bit of food by the
sudden insertion Of sherbet or {
squad between his collar and his
neck.
Evening clothes went by the board
! and Tuxedos were not spared. Tht
president and the other speakers
escaped because the throng could no
get up to them and the walters wer'
not hampered. All through the ban
quet the dishes crashed on the floor
and the diners ate in fear and trem
bling. This should have been a da,
of rejoicing in New Haven among th
tailors.

membered that he was assistant treas
urer of the republican national com

test
The City Fuel company dominates
the coal business of Chicago. 1t is To-
cally referred to as the coal trust. In
three years it has gained nearly every
large coal contract in the central bus
mess district of Chicago. Its growth
has been marvellous. 1t was amazing
even in the city where fortunes are
sometimes made in night. Competi-
tors were driven out of the field like
rats might flee from scuttled ship.
One of the remarkable features of
the hair-raising success of the City
Fuel company was that the coal deliv-
cred by that concern was no better
than that delivered by its rivals--in
fact, in many instances it was the
same coal The trust" prices were no
lower, but in some instances were
higher. The trust has no monopoly
