RAvENous EATERS.
oIuttony Of sOIimsn and the Appetite

0Iuttony Of SoIiman and the Appetite
Of Louis xiv.
Touching the matter of eating, the
stories told by the old chronicers and
historians Of the abnormal appetites of
certain Roman and oriental men of
note fairly stagger belief.
Gibbon tells of Soliman. a caliph in
the eighth century. who died Of acute
indigestion in his camp near Chalcis,
In Syria, just as he was about to lead
an army of Arabs against Constantine
pie. He had emptied two baskets of
eggs and figs. which he swallowed
alternately, and the repast was finish
ed with marrow and sugar. In pill
grimage to Mecca the same caliph had
eaten with impunity at a single meal
seventy pomegranates, kid, six fowls
and huge quantity Of the grapes Of
Tayef.
Such a statement would defy belief
were not others of similar character
well avouched. Louis XIV. could hard
ly boast Of an appetite as ravenous as
Soliman's, but he would eat at sit
ting four platefuls Of different soups, a
whole pheasant. a partridge, plate
full of salad. mutton hashed with gar
lie, two good sized slices Of ham,
dish of pastry and finish this ample
repast with fruit and sweetmeats.-

EFFORT TO FOOL

JERSEY CITY, July 13.-The New
| Jersey Water Company VIII find that
the municipal authorities of this city
are not as easy as the would-be pur-
loiners of the States water imagine.
At the office of the Board of Street
and Water Commissioners it is said
that the proposition submitted by the
water company offering certain conces-
sions In reciprocation for others asked
by the company in order to allow its
construction of an additional water
main between Belleville and Bayonne,
would o be seriously considered.
For years the New Jersey Water
Company has been planning to divert
the waters of New Jersey with the
view of supplying Staten Island. Its
purpose is to build pipe lines under
court decisions have interfered with

succeed by hook or crook to get .

it figures, will be easy sailing.

to lay a main under certain of Its
streets. The officials were wide awake,
however. and blocked its plans.
The water company then wen into
court and had certain property be-
longing to the city condemned for its
~right-of-way purposes. The city APP
pealed from the decision of the con-
demnation commissioners and the case
is now pending in the Court of Err
rors and Appeals. The money allowed.
which the city authorities claim is
a comparatively small sum, is in the
hands of the sheriff pending the APP
peal.
1t will probably be a year before
the decision is handed down. This is
one of the reasons why the water COM
pany is anxious to enter into an agree
ment with the city.
BY the terms of the agreement all lit
igation is to be STOPPED. One of the
conditions as proposed is that the COM
pany agrees not to take any water Gus
toners from the city without the con-
sent of the municipal authorities. If 1t

company agrees oAbuy the water from
