Ar THE PACKER HOUSE

Always alert to install any
features which might make his
house lore attractive to local people
and the transient public, Proprietor
G. W. Crawford, of the Packer
House, has installed ONE chefs In
his kitchen in lieu Of the cOlored
help which have held Jurisdiction
there heretofore. This innovation,

more than has ever been paid before
In this city for culinary department
heads and he feels that the TASTEFUL
ness Of the food prepared in his
house will have increased according
ly.
The women chefs. who will be
three in number, will be assisted by
q white man in a general utility way.
The presiding mistress of the kitchen
Is a woman with long experience in
the preparation of food for large
numbers of people. She has had Ak
perience in many OF New York's best
hotels, as well as a number Of world
known summer resort hostelries and
it is expected that with the going
into effect of her regime that the
fame of Packer House dinners will
have increased accordingly.
The first meal to be served by the
new kitchen force will be dinner to-
night. Proprietor Crawford Is MAX
ing unusual efforts TO make this first
meal an attractive Il so far as the
menu is concerned.

The papers have often printed a
great deal Of pure nonsense on the
subject of Dickens literary gains.
Dickens is stated to have died leav-
ing earnings that often accrue to a
respectable solicitor" This Is rub
bish. Dickens left 1884, 900 in round
figures, and this did not include a con-
siderable sum Of money that he had
settled some years before his death.
His readings (1s5S-eo) had brought in
about $4,000. 1t Is forgotten that
Dickens began life without one penny
and that every farthing he spent or
gave away or left was earned by him
self, only excepting $1,000 which was
bequeathed to him by a friend about
two years before his own death. Dick
ems lived literally (some people said
extravaSantly) for about thirty-four
years, he brought up and started In
life alargs and very expensive family.
and he gave away a great deal of
money to needy relatives. London

The "liado Not a MYTH.

The fall of Troy after a ten year
yiege by the Grecian princes about 1884
B. G. has long been considered as a
rather mythical foundation for Homer's
immortal epic, the "Iliad." But In 1875
the excavations Of Schliemann on the
reputed lite OF Troy brought to light
under the ashes Of two superintendent
fortress cities the remains answering
to the descriptions Of Homer and a
hidden vault containing goblets, bowls,
vases, gems. jewels, armes de lu1e and
like articles in gold, silver and bronze.
These treasures are now generally ae-
krowledged to be the verttable rem
nants Of the once vast riches of Priam,
which, although depleted by ten years
Of costly warfare in the purchase Of
supplies and mercenaries and the final
sack Of the ruined city, were thus pre-
served to enrich the museums Of Eu-
rope and greatly increase our realiza-
ton of the wealth and art Of that an
cient Hum, which we have hitherto
been disposed to consider a poets
dream.-CharIes Winslow Hall in Ma

BEST ARGUMENT ON
EXISTENCE OF COD

At the morning service in the Pres
byterian church yesterday thirteen
babies were baptized, quite an extra
ordinary event IN the annals of the
church.
In the evening the Tercentenary
Of the Authorized Version of the
Bible was celebrated by an excellent
address by Prof. John r. Raven, D.
D., Of New Brunswick Theological
Seminary, and by the installation of a
handsome. copy of the American
Standard Version, the gift Of a mem
Der of this church. This New Yer
sion will henceforth be the pulpit
Bible. q
AT the service the pastor %announc-
ed that next Sunday night his SER
mon would be the presentation of
the latest and what he believes to be
the most convincing argument for
the existence Of God, not merely as
a farce but as directive mind. He
specially invites two classes of per-
sons to come: First, those believers
who would like to have a more ao-
curate and convincing reason for
their faith; and second, doUbteTs,
skeptics, infidsls, agnostics.
He announced that the suggestion
for this sermon came from some con-
illusions Of the eminent scientist, AL
fred Russell Wallace, Mr.. Wallace
is regarded among scholars as the
most eminent living e~volutionist.

AN APOLOGY FROM BOWER.
Naval Academy superintendent Also to
Be Relieved Of Post.

Washington, April 24-Secretary Of
the Navy Meyer has directed superin-
tendent ]. NJ. Bowyer of the Naval
academy at Annapolis to write a let
ter Of apology to Miss Mary Beers.
daughter OF Henry Beers, professor Of
Yale, ostracized at a recent academy
hop. This is equivalent to ordering
the superintendent to acknowledge
that the sending Of the young woman
to Coventry on the particular occa-
sion was e piece Of almost inexcusa-
Bile snobbishness, for which the heads
of the navy department were heartily
sorry.
The orders will be followed by fur
ther directions which will relieve the
present superintendent from his as
signment on the grounds Of III health.
He will be assigned to lighter duties.
Miss Beers was for a time compan-
ion to Mrs. Tsrrant, wife Of Lieuten-
ant Commander Tarrant, stationed at
the academy. She is a very clever
and intelligent young woman and liked
by those she met at the institution.

M FEARS A WAR.

Conditions In Morocco Cause Press to
Sound Warning.
Berlin, April 24-Several newspa-
pers have grown excited over the
French movements In Morocco. They
profess alarm particularly because the
occupation Of Taxa by the French Is
imminent.
At Taxa, which is only sixty-hve
miles from Fee, is the key to the sit
uaHon In inner Morocco, the French
occupation would, they argue, disrupt
the peaceful occupation of the coun-
try, which would be replaced by an
open military occupation.
The comments OF this tenor are prst-
ty general In papers of all political
shades, while the C%hauvinist journals
call upon Germany to defend German
interests with force If necessary.

Antiquity Of the Senate,

The senate is historically much older
than the lower house, or house Of rep
resentatives, as 1t is called in our
country and time. In the remote time,
while as yet there vas no such thing
as a science Of government, the tribe
was wont to look to It's old men, on
account Of their wisdom and expert
ence, for advice In all matters per
tanning to the tribe, and those old
men were the first senators. The
word senator m from ~'senis,"
meaning old. AS civilization advanced
and seated government became a fact
the senate continued to be composed
of the old men, and when by and by
the second chamber, or council, was
added the senate continued to receive
the larger measure of reverence and
respect.-New York American.

The arrival Of the blooded cat
tie is believed to be the initial
step in the remarking of north
west North Dakota. There is no
reason at all why this section
should be purely a grain grow
ing center. The land is as fit
for dairying here as in the older
states and the great farming
fortunes in Iowa, Illinois, Wis
consin and Minnesota were made
through cows.

Week before last it is reported
that common straw sold on the
St. Paul market for from $40 to
$11. per ton, says the Caring
ton Record. With straw selling
at this price it behooves the
North Dakota farmer to care for
his straw. It would be a big
source of revenue to bale the
straw and ship to St. Paul
market at the above figues. The
day is fast coming when the
farmers Of the northwest will
learn the value of straw and
take care of this big by-product
that in the past has been almost
wholly lost, and now does not re-
ceive the attention it deserves.
