FORTUNE FOR FEAST
Dinner to Fifteen Cost an Even
$5000.
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.
