Florida, somewhat late it would seem,
is appropriating $25,000 for State use at
the World's Fair on condition that the
railroads give a like sum.
I'he foreign commissioners at the
World's Fair propose to have an inde
pendent board of jurors and to issue di
plomas on their own account.
The World's Fair managers have fig
ured expenses down to 20,000 a day,
whereas the daily average revenito from
admissions and concessions is about ifllO,
000. A inn ioritv of the United States Cir
cuit Court has decided tho orid s rair
must close Sundays. Judges Wood and
.lenkins ordered that an injunction be
issued rest raining the officials from open
ing the gates of tlie fair grounds. Judge
(trosHCiip dissented, recommending that
the injunction applied for by tho United
States District Attorney be not granted.
The decision of Judges Wood and Jen
kins, though reaching tho same point in
the end, take thisnction on widely diverg
ing grounds, and dissenting opinion dif
fers radically from both. The court
rooms were crowded when tho decision
was read. Judge Wood read his own
opinion, in which he concluded that
.Jackson Park Mas lawfully devoted for
exposition purposes, and that the expo
sition bad been in fact turned over to
the control of the Federal government
bv the local corporation, and that its
trol was therefore as absolute as its
control of the Federal building. He
held that the Sunday-closing rule, hav
ing once, been passed bv tho local direc
tory and approved by tlie National Com
mission, former body could not change
it. Regarding the case before Judge
Stein of the State court lie held it was
no bar to the proceedings, because it is
inadmissible to say that the government
must in comity yield to a State court.

rant. The bakery was run upon the poa
honor plan recently adopted at some lunch
counters In New York; that U, no watch
was kept on customers, who helped them
selves to pies, tarts, tuniOTers and cakes,
and their word was taken as to the amount
they consumed. The coffee was always
good and the meals well cooked and served,
and the prices were reasonable. A cup of
fresh coffee and gome delicious rolls antl
butter could be had for a shilling, and a
cutlet only cost a shilling more. A regular
dinner, with wine, could be enjoyed, with
fine service, for a dollar fully equal to a
three dollar Delmooico dinner now. A
good Havana cigar cost but four cents
such as costs twenty today.
The house of Delmonico prospered from
the first, and by an by a second generation
came on the carpet and took part in the
thriving concern. John, the founder of
tbe house, took life easily toward the end,
doing the marketing only, while his broth
ers played dominoes and smoked ciga
rettes. None of the Delmonicos, either the
brothers, nephews or descendants, have
been educated men. The original Del
mouicos were decidedly rirl: ured. They
spoke, in the latter p..ri of their lives,
three languages English, French and
Italiao but all three imperfectly. Nor
were any of the Delmonicos Rood business '
men, in tho American sense of that term.
This may seem strange, considering their
success, but it, is a fact. None of tliern
were keen or shrewd. Noneof them drove
bargains.
Thev attended strictly to one line or du
ties, treated everybody well, sold good ar
ticles and so got rich, and their fame as
restaurateurs filled not ouly New York,
not only America, but Europe. It is not
generally known, but old timers will still
remember that the Delmonicos once kept
a summer garden in what is now East New
York. Attached to tnis garden was a vege
table und dairy farm which waa free to tbe
guesu a pleasant privilege m warm
weather. Th.'re were various attractions,
such as a band of music and a tenpin
alley. There was also an 0111 space for
target shooting and for athletic games
these were the happy days before baseball.
This Delmonico summer garden was a
great resort for all the foreign residents in
New York, particularly on Sundays, when
all the German, French, Italian and Span
ish notables orild be seen here enjoying
themselves. Saratoga Cor. Troy Times.
Practical t'se of Metals.
An lntere-ling fact is noted in connec
tion with much of the architectural work
of the day, namely, the increasing use of
sine and sheet aud plate iron and steel tor
ornamentation, largely taking the place of
plaster and wood for cornices, window
dressings, mansard and other roots, dor
mers and finishings, these latter being
fixed upon brackets to the walls or other
wise secured to the structure. In Austra
lia, notably in Sydney, ziuc has for some
time past been employed for ornamental
ceilings, one of this kind on a somewhat
large scale having not long since been used
In the construction of a hotel diniug hall
in Sydney, and which, for richness of orna
mentation and beauty of design, ts said to
be unrivaled, the ceiling, as described, be
ing divided into fifteen deep and rich.panels.
The chief advantages alleged of a zino
ceiling are that it can be soon fixed with
out dirt, and is a comparatively light ma
terial, peculiarly adapted to internal em
ployment; tbe metal can be moiueu into
panel or coffers and applied in large pieces,
and the material decorated or gihkd, ttnd
molded zinc cornices cau be fixed "in situ."

The School Girl Speuka.
A crowded car; a pretty girl dressed In
fresh summer stuff, and this is what she
said in tbe hearing of all: "It must have
been perfectly lovely; 1 should so like to
have gone, and 1 might have went as well
as not if 1 had ouly saw Jack." What is
the explanation? Is it that the schools do
not teach the young to use correct English,
or that there is a dark Detroit not reached
bv education? To have this smiling young
girl open her mouth and crop out such
toads and lizards of verbiage is shocking.

A Trifle Too Alert That Time.
At the Pompeiian grounds one night a

In his grasp. Tbe geutleman smilingly
ald, "You think I have got your pocket
book," accompanying the remark with an
upward movement, which disclosed tbe
opera glass. Tbe female thief catcher
blushed and apologized, the red fire kindly
aiding her to cover her discomfiture. Bos
