A MOST GE0RGE0US AFFAIR Pipe Lines of Wine Went to the Place of Every Guests and Were Changed With Each of the Twenty-two Courses. NEW YORK, April 4. Dinners at $300 a plate while they arc not common occurrences even in New York may soon become so if the present fad for giving feasts beyond the dreams of Lucullus himself con tinues. Dinners at $1000 a plate may indeed be expected although at pre sent $500 is the high record, since this was the cost of a dinner recent ly given by a young millionaire to fifteen of his friends. The bill in cluding tips was an even $5000. Since one of New York's most famous cat erens has gone on record to the effect that as regards food alone no person can consume more than ten dollars worth, even in the most expensive cafe, the manner of spending $300 a plate arouses some curiosity. Only a small fraction of this sum of course was expended for food in this the most gorgeous feast of the year, al though a special chef was hired for the preparation of each of the 22 courses. The remainder went for the decorations and wines, all of the lat ter being specially imported for the occasion. The tabic was in the form of a large hollow square, inside of which and level with it was a large burnished copper tank filled with water. In it swam many aquatic birds ranging from swams to duckl ings, while below lurked rare fish imported for the occasion. The edges of this miniature lake were banked with roses and in the center a foun tain spurted wine which falling into a special receptacle was carried by an ingenious arrangement of pipes to the place of each guest. Of course the particular kina of wine changed with each course but all through the dinner it literally ran like water. The coffee service after dinner cost $22 a pound and the cigars $5 apiece Strangely enough the young million aire rival of Lucullus who gave the dinner is known as a shrewd and con servative business man who may al ways be found at his office by half past eight in the morning. New York is getting not one but many examples of the decided change that is taking place in the attitude of big corporations on the subject of public control and also in regard to giving publicity to their affairs for which Governor Hughes has been contending. Following the example of the Steel Corporation in making public a complete report of its finan cial condition and the declaration of ts virtual head in favor of the policy of public regulation, the greatest public utility corporation in the world the American Telephone and Tele graph Company in its annual report just issued, takes a similar stand on both of these subjects. As is well known this is the controlling com pany of all the Bell telephone inter ests with their total capitalization of over half a billion dollars. Speaking of the failure of telephone competi tion this official utterance of the com pany declares that the contention that there must be public control if their is not to be competition is a reason able one and adds that there is no ob jection to such control if it is "in dependent, intelligent, considerate, thorough and just," recognizing as does the Interstate Commerce Com mission in its report recently issued, that capital and enterprise are en titled to a fair reward. This amounts practically to an endorsement of Governor Hughes' recommendations to the legislature of this state. The big telephone company has also tak en up the idea of a physicial valua tion of property as an essential to intelligent public control and has had an appraisal made of the plants of all its subsidiary companies as a re sult of which it appears that these are worth $34,000,000 more than they are capitalized at. With the three lead ing corporations in the country the Steel Trust -the American Tele phone & Telegraph Company and the Pennsylvania Railroad, in line for public control and publicity of ac counts that policy has gained power? ful friends in the quarter where it was least expected. j The greatest bag of game birds on record has just been made not by Now York sportsmen but by the members of New York's fish and game commission. This famous bag totalled more than 17,000 birds of which 15,020 were plover of the lap wings variety, 2472 golden plover, and 8 ruffed grouse, more indeed than the famous sage of Princeton, Grover Cleveland, has ever been able to kill in spite of his well known sport loving proclivities. These birds which were seized in a cold storage plant where the wardens were forced to work for hours at a temperature far below freezing will net a pretty penny in the shape of fines, since the penalty for each bird seized is $20 or more than $300,000 in all. It remains to be seen, how ever, whether these fines will ever be collected. The cold storage bird is not the only one either which is achieving prominence in New York at present. The bird of the barn yard variety, otherwise known as the great American hen, is doing her best for Father Knickerbocker with the result that eggs strickly fresh and not of the cold storage variety have been pouring into the city at the rate of about 11,000,000 daily. Four con secutive days recorded receipts of more than 44,000.000 eggs, or enough to supply them liberally to every one in the greatest city for breakfast each day. The busy bee of fabled fame is literally not in it with the un ostentatious hen, whose product has now reached the proud eminence at which banks arc willing to lend money on it. Meantime New York is gloating over the sudden drop in the price of eggs amountinng to near ly twenty-five cents a dozen. ISSUE NOT YET LAID WASHINGTON, D. C, April 4 Senator Jonathan Bourne, the steadfast third-term boomer, by the way, has had the satisfaction of see ing the pendulum of public opinion swing his way again. There was a time when the third term, or second elective term, as Senator Bourne calls it, was ridiculed, but it is now an ex ceedingly live proposition. The re sult of Senator Bourne's thousand dollar competition has been given to the country. The successful contest ant is Hon. Frank II. Norcross, Jus tice of the Supreme Court of Nevada and his paper will be one of the most widely read political documents ever published. It is admitted that Judge Norcross makes a strong case. He sums up his argument in the follow ing paragraphs: '"For President Roosevelt to be permitted to give up the reins of gov ernment at the end of his first dec tive term because of such illogical and paltry reasons as have been offered, against the wish of the great mass of the people, in the present condition of governmental affairs, would be worse than folly. "There is but one logical and rea sonable thing to do under the circum stances, and that is for the Republi can national convention at Chicago to nominate Mr. Roosevelt as the choice of the Republican party for President. It might not be so log ical, but it would be the sensible thing for the Democratic convention to take a similar course. If Mr. Roosevelt feels that he cannot con sistently accept another nomination, the people will not insist that he do so. They will, however, insist that he be on hand when the time comes for his inauguration. HOME FAT REDUCER. Works Rapidly and Safely Requires No Exercising and Allows You to Eat What You Like Cut This Out. For the benefit of those who wish to reduce their flesh quickly and safely, we will give the receipt and directions in full for a simple house hold remedy that can be obtained at trifling cost from any good drug store; 1-2 ounce Marmola, 1-2 ounce Fluid Extract Cascara Aromatic and 3 1-2 ounces Syrup Simplex. All three are cheap and wholesome, but you should take care to get an un broken package so that you get Mar mola and not a substitute. When you get home mix the three together by shaking them together in a large bottle and take one teaspoonful after each meal and at bedtime. Follow these directions and you will have the best fat reducer that money can buy. It will take off the flesh at the rate of at least two pounds a week without disarranging the stomach or causing wrinkles, while, best of all, no exercising or dieting is required to help it out. You can get results and at the same time take things easy and eat what you like as much as you like and when ever you like. G L ASS I F I E HELP WANTED WANTED A GIRL FOR GEN eral housework.
