An elaboration of this Idea was the fax

in 17 by Rlesener. JVsIde from the beauty
Of its marquetry, the magnificence of lt3
mountings and the perfection of its grace
and symmetry, this masterpiece of Rlese
sners has considerable historic interest.
Having survived the Iconoclasm of the
French Revolution, this famous chef
d'oouvre was during the rule of Napoleon
I in the Tuilerles, from whence It was
moved to St. Cloud by Napoleon III;
-there it would have undoubtedly been
captured by the victorious Germans In
JLS70 had it not been transferred to the
ILouvre, its present home. In spite of the
richness of the materials la this piece of
furniture, its careful decoration on front
and back and the two years' time taken
ior its construction, it is difficult to real
ize that the present valuation of the
Bureau du Rol is about $100,000.
In our forefathers' day the "festive
board" was rather a crude reality than
a poetic license, for during the Middle
Ages the table was literally a board or
boards, rough-hewn at that, placed across
trestles in the baronial hall which served
as dining-room, parlor and bedroom com
bined in one. In Saxon castles a special
table covered with scarlet cloth was
placed across the dais or raised portion
of the hall for the thane, his family and

distinguished guests; from the middle of
this table ran at right angles the longer
and lower board, uncovered, unroofed and
ecantlly furnished, at which retainers and
domestics made merry. In those days
the tables and not the scats were the
movable furnishings; for the seats were
Dong chests or heavy benches against the
walls, before which trestles and boards
were easily arranged. After the banquet
(a word derived from "banc" or bench)
was finished the impromptu tables were
easily .removed, the minstrels and glee
snon were bidden to the front and the
dining-room was forthwith transformed
into an entertainment hall for the lord
of the manor and his entire household.
3n Vonotla, too, this custom must have
been in vogue so Shakespeare thought
for in "Romeo and Juliet," which he
wrote about 359G, he says:
"Como, musicians, play!
A hall! a hall! give room ana foot It, frirls.
Mora light, ye knaves, and turn tho tables up."
In time the trestles (from "threstule," a
ihree-footed support) were ornamented
with carved work, and the boards hinged
In tho middle for more convenient re
moval. For a long while it was custom
ary for the diners to sit only on the
wall side of the table, which was but SO
Inches in width, so that they might bo
more easily served across tho narrow
boards, and also that they might be on
tho alert in caso of attack or sudden raid.
Possibly this custom may have been a
Burvival of the- old Roman fashion of re
clining on but one side of the banqueting
table. TVhil this Grecian and Roman
TW&eticfi undonbtpdlv fae!l!tntrl fh tnhln
fiervlce, it is quite unlikely that the early j
tJaxon customs were in any way connect
ed with the sumptuous furnishings of
antiquity. On the contrary, after the fall
of Rome our forefathers seemed to share
the primitive customs which marked the
childhood of the race, and to have groped
their way stop by step, through many
centuries, back to tho convenience and
elegance of furnishing which hod been ln-

2JMuter the EStaabethan period trestles

setM piece of furniture, and the "stand

Naturally there arose the problem of ac
cojaMdetlng a varying number of guests,
and the solution was reached by pfecing

pier tables, or side tables, the two end
ones being semi-circular In shape. Then
the drawlhge table" -was contrived, an
arrangement for drawing out two flaps
from either end. This in time was super
seded by the "folding table," which was
made, oftentimes, with as many as 20 legs,
and. as its name implies, could be folded
Into about one-third of its greatest length.
It was' not until the year 1S0O that our
modern extension table was Invented, "to
reduce the number of legs, pillars and
claws and to facilitate and render easy
their enlargement and reduction." During
the 18th century mahogany tables of the
design Jcnown as the "pillar and claw"
tables became very popular. The round or
square tops rested upon upright cylln-

dcrs, supported upon a plinth having
three or four carved claw feet. Varia
tions of this pattern having massive legs
and carvings of lion's head and claws
were so much admired for their rich col
oring and spirited carving that they were
fitted with extensions early In the cen
tury and made into horseshoe tables Tor
public meetings. Within the last 100 years
there has been no modification, except In
carving, of the dining table. Furniture de
signers, seeming to think that human In
genuity could no farther go, have turned
their attention to the Invention and re-
productlon after classic models of tho
occasional table that bane and blessing
of modern furniture.
As a purely decorative feature the table
should have no place; If Its usefulness
may be enhanced by rare and enduring or
namentation, that Is another matter. This
was a standard principle of furnishing
among the early Greeks, whose dislike of
redundancy was one of the bases of their
excellent taste. After the usefulness t of
an article was once established, then It
was enriched with precious metals and
Inlay of Ivory or fancy woods. Some
times this double purpose was achieved
by richness of design, as In the quaintly
elegant folding tables of bronze, with legs
t in tho -shape of lions or leopards;
j sphinxes, too, seemed especially adapted
tor me construction or tne antique tame.
The smaller tables were either tripods
for holding braziers, or were made with
but one foot (monopodlum) and were fre
quently fashioned of hardwoods, beautl
fully'quartered and polished.
When Rome was mistress of the world,
the furniture of the Imperial city was of
the costliest description. Tables were not
only made of gold, sliver, bronze and
marble, enriched with damascening en
graving, veneering and precious stones,
but they were made of rare woods, which

brought fabulous prices. The table of Ci
cero, for instance, was said to have cost
$45,000 of our money, because It was made
of thyme wood, a resinous wood from the
Atla3 Mountains. It Is mentioned in the
Bible, was used by the Romans for in
cense in the worship of their gods, and
forms the floor and celling of the cele
brated Mosque of Cordova. When we re
flect that some tables of this precious
wood commanded even higher prices than
did Cicero's, we do not wonder that when
the Roman ladles were reproached for
their extravaganoo la pearls they retorted

together with the super-ornamentation of

France, and was brought thence' into Eng
land when the edict of Nantes (16S5) evict

APPEAL TO GERMAN VOTERS
Address Issned by German-American
McKInley and Roose-relt Lcogae.
The address Issued in New York to
"Citizens of German Descent" by the
German-American McKInley and Roose
velt League was as follows:
Fellow Citizens The greater and more
powerful a country the mors important
it is that ita government'be in safe hands
and controlled by sound principles. Never
before were the United States as power
ful as now; our commerce and our Indus
tries had never yet attained tho pres
ent eminence. Never before did we occu
py as commanding a position toward
other powers as we do now, a position
which is due mainly to our remarkable
Industrial and commercial development.
reached unknown proportions. It is our
principal duty to maintain these acquisi
tions, namely, our prosperity, our In
dustrial development and our command
ing position In relation to other powers.
This duty requires us to give to the
country at the next election the best and
most capable leaders. Above all, we have
to see to It that our National honor is
held high. Proved probity, strict right
eousness and the greatest wisdom must be
found in the men In whose hands we
propose to place the reins of government
for the next four years.
German honesty Is one of the quali
ties which we have brought into our
adopted country; men of German descent
will never permit dishonest principles to
prevail In tho conduct of their govern
ment. It is easy to see that the principles for
which William Jennings Bryan mainly
stands are not honest, and that It would
discredit the United States' If through
Bryan's election they would prevail.
Bryan Insisted that the silver question
should again be made prominent. Four
years ago this question was decided by
our votes; the judgment which we pro
nounced In 169G we certainly will not re
verse In 1900. The sllverltes by the 16-to-1
plank desire to obtain legal support
for the proposition that the mints of the
United States.shall be required to give to
the owner of silver a full dollar In return
for half a dollar, thus enriching that
owner. If they should succeed In this the
result would be tho destruction of the
credit of the country, a diminished pur
chasing value of our money and our ab
solute dishonor. Four years ago Bryan
said In one of his speeches that the main
tenance of honest money would ruin tho
people, and would expose them first to
poverty and then to crime; but the four
years which have passed since his first
defeat have proved the Incorrectness of
his Judgment. Through honest money and
honest financial management our pros
perity grew as never before. Bryan's elec
tion would cause the loss of all that for
which we stood successfully four years
ago, all that which we mainly owe our
present favored position.
Bryan also says that he desires to com
bat trusts. What a contradiction! As
though the intended silver grab would
not be the most gigantic trust ever cre
ated! The laws which the Congress 'of
the United States has so far passed
against the misuse of trusts emanated
from the opponents, and not the adher
ents, of Bryan. The trust plank In the
Democratic platform Is a catch-phrase
for captivating the unwary. Should
Bryan be defeated, however, all corrupt
trusts will be proceeded against with
energy, for such Is the proclamation In
tho platform which Messrs. McKInley
and Roosevelt have accepted and which
contains a distinct plank to that effect.
Imperialism Is the next catch-word.
Are we to abandon Cuba, Porto Rico,
Haytl, and the Philippines? Are we, now
that our country has become great and
powerful, to decline to govern this great
and powerful country? The sound com
mon sense of the American people and
their desire for fair play are a guaran
tee that the inhabitants of the countries
recently acquired by us will be given the
earliest opportunity to govern themselves.
Steps In that direction have been taken
in Cuba and also In the Philippines. More
over, no one will today claim' that the
purchase of Louisiana and Florida or the
conquest of Texas and California, created
Imperialistic tendencies.
Hence we will do our utmost to pre
vent the election of Bryan to the office
of President of the United States. To
him these words of the poet apply aptly:
His honor rooted In dishonor stood.
And faith unfaithful kept him falsely true.
We propose to vote for McKInley and
Roosevelt. Our present President, Wil
liam McKInley, has proved that even un
der the most difficult conditions he could
lead us to victory, power and prosperity.
He honestly performed the duties of his
exalted office. The respect in which the
President of the United States Is held
by the rulers of foreign countries Is now
greater than ever before, owing to the
masterly way In which Mr. McKInley has
conducted himself while In office. He Is
entitled to re-election. Under his govern
ment a great war was commenced and
victoriously terminated, while at the same
time the country prospered In all direc
tions. Never before In the history of the
world did any country prosper while en
gaged In warfare with a powerful nation.
President McKInley succeeded by drawing
upon the best resources of the country
in accomplishing great results. What he
promised In 1S96 he has kept. He rep
resents in his person the ability, strict In
tegrity and simple citizenship which,
since Lincoln's time, we have sought and
found In our President.
Theodore Roosevelt was nominated for
the office of Vlce-Presld.-mt against his
wish by rousing acclamation. Tho Govern
ment of the State of New York, which
since two years has been In his hands,
enables us to Judge of him as an execmlve
officer In high place. He succeeded in
bringing his state, so far as honestj of
administration Is concerned, to the front
rank, to make it a model for other states.
The services which he rendered to the
entire country In matters relating to civil
service, as Assistant Socretary of the
Navy and on the field of battle, have
Justly endeared him to the hearts of the
people. His frankness, his straightfor
wardness, his ability and tireless actlvity
bespeak for him a great future. It will
be an honor to the country to place him,
Its most representative citizen. In the
office which is next to the highest within
the gift of tho people.
Fellow citizens, rally and assist us in
our effort to serve our great and beloved
adopted country best by giving It an hon
est and able administration. Let our bat
tle co be, "Down with Bryan and his
Imperialistic sliver trust!" Let us march
on to victory and Increased prosperity
under the banner of William McKInley
and Theodore Roosevelt.

U. 5. GRANT SUED HERE
DEFAULT AND JUDGMENT FOR

Tno Famous Soldier's Horse "Was
Seized, but He Paid the Debt
and Went His Way.
HXLL9BORO, Or., Aug. 15. The Wash
ington County archives contain a partial
history of a case wherein suit was
brought-' against a man who afterward
became President of the United States.
The case-was filed years ago. when Ore
gon was yet a territory, and when Ihe
defendant was a petty officer at Van
couver Barracks, then known as "Colum
bia, Barracks."
This was -away back In"IS54, when nearly
all the supplies for the Vancouver post
were purchased at San Francisco, and
when no transcontinental roads or tele-

graph lines bound the West to civiliza
tion; when no telegram of tomorrow
could tell the department at Washing
ton that an officer of the United States
Army was today derelict In his duty." Tho
details of the story which led up to the
case cannot be learned, but the trouble
grew out of a draft on Captain U. S.
Grant, who bore the rank of Captain and
Assistant Adjutant Quartermaster. The
draft was for $1200, and was signed by
a Lieutenant at San Francisco, and read
as follows:
"J1200.
"San Franclsccvvu'y 30, 1853. At three
days' sight, please pay to Adams & Co.,
or order, twelve hundred dollars, and
charge the same to my account.
"GEORGE IL. DERBY,
"Lieut. Corps Engineers.
"To Oapt. U. S. Grant, A. A. Q. M., Co
lumbia Earracks, Oregon."
The draft was accepted by Grant on the
12th day of August, 1853, and a year later
it had not been $paid. Adams '& Co..
through their agent. Ju3tln Stelnburger,
then commenced suit against him In the
District Court. They filed a bond In a
sum equal to the face of tho draft, and,
being unable to get a summons served on
the defendant owing to his being a rest
dent of another territory, the case went
by default and a Judgment was granted.
Richard E. Wiley was then the Sheriff
of Washington County, and he watched
his opportunity to catch Jho young Cap
tain on the Oregon side. After several
trips, he happened to be in Portland one
day when Captain Grant came in on a
bciV bringing with him his horse. Sheriff
Wiley attached the animal as soon as the
Captain landed. As soon as Grant recov
ered from his surprise, ho asked Wiley
to go with him to Adams & Co.'s agent,
where he thought he could arrange things
satisfactorily. Arriving, Grant paid a
part of the Judgment in "cash and gave
his note or the balance, thus securing
R E. "Wiley, Washington Connty
Sheriff, who levied on U. S. Grant's

his release. Strange as It may appear,
the case was overlooked by the papers of
that day, and the fact that a man who
was afterward elected President was
once sued lnf anOregon court has never
before been made history.
Richard Everett Wiley, the Sheriff whe
served the process, was ,a pioneer of 184S
emigrating from Ohio. He was a printer,
nnd before 20 years of age had graduated
from the composing-rooms of -tho Bur
lington Hawkeye. Upon arriving in Ore
gon ho set up tho plant of the Oregon
Pioneer, purchased by J. S. Griffin, this
being the first newspaper plant brought
to tho territory. The paper was published
by Father Griffin at his farm, two miles
from where Hlllsboro now stands. As
Sheriff of the Tualatin district. In the
late '40s, Wiley had dominion over what
In part now comprises Clatsop, Columbia.
Yamhill. Multnomah, Tillamook and
Clackamas Counties. In 1855 Mr. Wiley
married Miss M. J. Baldra, who was one
of the first white women born In Oregon.
She still survives, and resides at New

died May 27, 1SS0. His son. W. V. Wiley,
is In business here. One daughter, wife
