WITH JOKE ON LIPS
P[ATT DIES
NOTED FIGURE IN NEW YORK'S
POLITICAL HISTORY FOR %
YEARS is GONE-FAMILY is
PRESENT AT END.

Mex York, March S.-Covered
with flowers, the coffin containing
the body of former Senator Thomas
C. Plat was taken today to Oswego
for interment tomorrow.
Thomas Collier Plat, for a quar-
ter of a century the most powerful
factor in New York politics and the
founder of the modern political ma
chine died yesterday in his 18th
year. His long life ended as a slen-
der cord might snap in twain.
By reason of their regular Sun
day visits to their father rather than
from a belief that the end was near,
his three sons, Frank, Edward and
Harry, and Mrs. Frank Platt, were
at his bedside, in the apartments OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Gustave Abels, 1873
West Eleventh street, with whom
the senator made his home for the
last five years. DR.. Paul Outer
bridge, the family physician, and Mr..
and Mrs. Abels were also present.
Senator Plat, whose mentality has
triumphed for almost a score OF
years over physical infirmities. was
in one of his brightest and most jov-
ial moods.
JOked the Physician.
He had rallied from a sinking
spell which sent him to bed at l
o'clock In the afternoon and which
had required at o'clock, ana was
chatting on topics of the day when
the doctor arrived at 1880, and he
playfully joked with the physician
about the coming time when his SER
vices would not be needed.

PRICE Of MEAT
GOES UP
HIGH PRICES OF OTHER CITIES
REACH WENATCHEE - COST
OF LIVING GETTING HIGHER
AND END NOT IN SIGHT.

The cost of living has gone up an
other notch. Changes in the market
reports were received too late today
for correction and the present prices
on meats are in nearly every instance
from 2 lie to &c cents higher.
Wenatchee has been slow to feel
the increase in prices, as the sur
rounding country was formerly a
cattle center and there is still lot
of stock on the nearby ranges. But
the cutting of the range into small
ranches has had its effect and to-
day the butchers are obliged to send
as far away as Montana to supply
the home consumption.
1t is stated, too, that the people
of this section are becoming more
particular and require the choicest
cuts all the time People who were
formerly satisfied with cheap meat
now have to have the best that the
shops afford. AS result the choice
cuts are going up in price and the
cheap meats are becoming cheaper.
1t is claimed by restaurant men
that it is no longer possible to serve
a two-bit meal in this city. Stews
can be sold at that price, but the
regular cuts are costing too much
nowadays to allow a restaurant man
any profits from a twenty five cents
Service.
One restauranteur on the avenue
stated that meat is not alone in the
high price list but that all the reg
ular articles of restaurant service
have been costing proportionately
more and that as far as his business
is concerned, he is giving the matter
little thought. AS middleman he
breaks even and the customer must
fight it out with the higher powers.
Another man who has tried to serve
twenty-five cent meals states that
he can 10 longer do SO. Unless
customer will be content with meats
served in miscellaneous chunks,
known as goulash, stew, hash, boil
ed dinner, ETC., the dinner check
must be slightly larger than it has
been in the past.
The butchers feel that the public
will understand their position in the
matter and realize that no effort is
being made by local parties to hold
up the public. The quotations In
Spokane and eastern papers are
available to everyone and when the
local meat supply is exhausted the
butchers have no recourse but to
pay the prices of the east. The prices
of meat in this city are the same as
those that are charged in Wisconsin
towns. according to letter just re-
ceived by Wenatchee butcher.

RURAL MAIL ROUTE
RESOLUTIONS
OF COMMERCIAL
CLUB WILL DRAFT RESOLU.
TIONS FOR INCREASE OF PAY
FOR RURAL CARRIERS.

The trustees of the Wenatchee
Commercial club, at their regular
meeting last night, took a decisive
stand in regard to the present condi-
ton of the rural mail delivery, and
appointed a committee consisting of
III. L. WEBSTER, H. G. Littlefield and
DR.. J. H. Blake, to draft a set of
resolutions setting forth the present
conditions and urging upon Washing
ton congressman and senators the ne
cessity of increasing the pay of the
rural mail carriers to a point where
the postmaster will be able to secure
competent men to do this work. Ow-
ing to the high cost of living as we'll
as the high cost of feed, it has made
it impossible to secure carriers at the
wages offered by the government
This matter will be given the most
careful attention of the commercial
club with the end in view that the
local postmaster may again be able
to secure free delivery to the ranchers
of the Wenatchee valley at the very
earliest date.
This question will be brought up
for discussion at the next regular
meeting Of the club next Monday eve
ming, March IA, at s o'clock
AS was stated in the Daily World
several days ago, the mail carriers
for the three routes leading out of
Wenatchee gave up Uncle Sans ser
vice on March 1 and since that time
there has been no rural service. Spe-
cial efforts have been made by the
patrons of the three routes, seeking
for resumption of the service and
it is likely that in the course of a
few days the mails will be taken out
as in the past. Rural Carrier E. B.
Trimble will leave tomorrow on
Route 2, and it is thought by the first
of next week that the three routes
will be operated.

SUMMIT
J. G. DEBORD RETURNED LAST
NIGHT WITH LEAVENWORTH
PARTY WHICH ASSISTED IN
RECOVERING DEAD.

J. G. Debord of Leavenworth,
brought to this city the first eye-wit-
ness report of the avalanche disaster
at Wellington. He is in the city to-
day Mr.. Debord, with a party of
Leavenworth people went to yelling

worth party worked at the scene of
the disaster some thirty hours and
assisted in recovering three men.
The road from the east was cleared
last night to Berne, and Mr. Debord
expressed himself that there was no
doubt but what the road would be
opened to Wellington tonight and he
believes that it is only a question of
two or three days when the road will
be open from Wellington on to See
mic. Sheriff Ferguson has been at
Wellington for several days, assist

Ladue and Fox, mail clerks. Up to
yesterday noon the total number re-
covered were "a. There are still nine

number of those able to travel walked
out Sunday morning for Scenic.
Yesterday was clear at the summit.
There was some snow on Sunday and

still some fears of further slides. and
all precautions are taken to keep out

Beardst0wn is Frank Trout, fisher
man with an extensive business.
Plans, are mapped out for a whole
sale investigation this week when
Representative Foster will be heard
after the contributors of the Jackpot
have told their stories.
While much attention is being given
the fish, Bill fund by Burke, the evil

long time identified with the fishing
interests, admitted to Burke that he
got money from John Dixon of PEG

HIGH HAT ONCE SUPREME.

A remarkable proof of how the
high hat, whether of silk or of bea-
yer, once reigaod supreme, is seen
in the print of the fight between
Savers and Heenan at Marlborough
in 1860. Nearly every man in the
crowd is wearing a topper, the few
with caps = strongly resembling
those of the present day-being
probably members of "the fancy"
Contrast this with a picture of a
football final at the palace, with its
sea of tweed capped heads, and we
realize the revolution that has taken
place. The topper was, in fact, for
many years the orthodox headgear
of every man, from a peer to a plow-
man. Even Bill Skies and the Art

illustrations, conformed to the fash
