NO PRIVACY FOR DIPLOMATS
Appropriation for State Department
Excluslveness Is Cut Out by
the House Committee.

"Gastronomic diplomacy" is not to
displace dollar diplomacy" At least
it is the intention Of the house COM
mite on appropriations that 1t shall
not. Proof of this Is found In the
omission from the sundry civil bill of
an appropriation which has been ask
ed for the preparation of plans for a
kitchen and fashionable dining room
in the new building for the depart
ment of state. Because the plans as
drawn provided for an elaborate BAN
quet room. the appropriations COM
mittee omitted the entire item Of
$4,000, which was requested for the
preparation of the plans. The COM
mittee took the position that until a
new office design, sans culinary equip
ment, is submitted. nothing should be
paid for the plans. AS a result it
seems certain that If friendly relations
are to be maintained by gratifying the
inner man, that sort of diplomacy will
have to be practiced in the banquet
halls of hotels as in years gone by.
During the hearings on the sundry
civil bill 1t developed that some of
the governments nephews had
scheme in mind which would have
necessitated keeping a well-stocked
larder. 1t was originally planned to
have suites of rooms in the new de-
partment of state building. 80 that
they could be used by visiting digni-
taries. Under such conditions It
would have been unnecessary for Ad-
miral Togo and the Duke of Con-
naught to associate with American
people at the hotels of Washington.
Uncle Sam" inkeeper, would have
provided them with free board and
lodging while here, but alas-"econ-
omy" spoiled the golden dream.

cliffs, the same sort of work he did
as railroad contractor before taking
up the racing game.
few years ago Corrigan was the
most spectacular figure on the Amer
lean turf His thirty years in the
racing game were spent in continu-
GUS fighting. In 1891 he forced the
Coney Island Jockey club to allow his
horse, Huron, to start in the Futurity
at Sheepshead Bay after the club had
ruled that there was a defect in the
entry. The horse came in second.
but the judges wilfully overlooked
him, SO that no part of the 100000
stake went to Corrigan. From that
time on New York tracks were closed
against Corrigan.
Nothing daunted, he took a stable
or horses to England. He was not
welcomed, and it was said that it was
only through the efforts of Mark
Hanna and others that he was grant
ed privileges at Newmarket.
The scene of Corrigan's longest and
most bitter fight was the Hawthorne
track in Chicago, which he managed
in opposition to John Condons Har-
lem track Condor sent word that
rather than compromise he would
sink the Harlem track to the bottom
of Lake Michigan.
Tell him." said Corrigan in reply,
that I'll put Hawthorne on top of 1t
to keep it down"
Corrigan eventually moved to the
coast. He established the beautiful
Ingleside course on a site overlook
ing the Pacific. The authorities
closed its gates. In New Orleans and
Missouri his hard luck continued. He
awoke one morning to find himself
penniless, bankrupt.

To Make Good Coffee,

French cooks are famous for the
make so strong that one part of the
liquor requires the addition of two
parts to reduce 1t to the proper
strength.
This addition is made with hot
milk. The large proportion of hot
milk, in place of so much warm
water, gives the coffee richness like
that made by the addition of cream in
the ordinary way. By this means any
housekeeper desirous of making good
coffee, can have it without cream.

no young woman here can be really

women live on less because they are

When any employer tells you that he

women who live at home, you can be
sure that that employer who does not
pay a living wage is practically sub

ployes.

crop conditions all his life, w. G. Bal

crops as he finds in the Palouse coun-

Charles Thompson, and of Harry anad
Robert Whittier, to whom he was a
former neighbor in Whiting, Ia.
sAs near as l can learn" said Mr..
Ballard this morning, 'the crops this
year, while large, are not much better
than usual in this country. But they
are the best that have ever seen. I
was greatly surprised to see such
wheat as you have here, and the TIM
othy is even more remarkable. 1
plucked a few sample heads to send
home, which were ten inches in
