AN IMPERIAL MENU. Baltimore Dealers Say it Will Be a Big | How the Sultan ef Morocco Honors One. ‘His Guests at Dinner. From the Boston Herald. é Dining with the Sultan of Morocco is more of an honor than a pleasure, according to the ac- count of @ recent visitor connected with the French embassy. The sultan is even more of a spiritual than @ temporal monarch, @ sort of crowned saint, ex-officio, and, therefore, it is beneath his sacred dignity to dine in person with his guests, and doputes a representative from his suite, The palace is too sacred @ shrine tobe the scepes of such festivity, and thedinner is usually served in the garden of the summer palace, outside the town of Fez. When the narrator dined in this second-hand way with his sacred majesty the weather was hot, and she dinner was served in a town palace garden beneath orange, lemon.and pomegranate trees, where the buttercups, cornflowers and daisies grew so tall that they ‘mingled with the S, and the guests had hard work to fight their way on horseback to the table or rather tray. A drum-major, like a steward with a baton, headed the procession of slaves bearing the food on trays of wood with deep borders, and conical covers of straw. ‘The removal of these covers disclosed a frightful spectacle of fricasees of sheep and chickens, prepared with honey, sugur, syrup and fruits, and ail imaginable an unimaginable horrors possible to cookery. The only dishes which a European could eat was One of mutton (which was terribly greasy) and the conscousson. The slave who held this awk- wardly, spilled it into his sleeves and bosom, and consclentiously turned it out on the plate again. This upset European stomachs and de- sire to Indulge in it, though they found that the slave knew etiquette. The proper way 10 eat conscousson is to take a quantity in the palm of the hand; eat it as best you may, and return theremainder—for the whole never will quit the palm—into the common dish, lest the other guests should be deprived of even a crumb of the choice delicacy. oe New Facts About Cannibals. DISCOVERY OF MANY TRIBES IN THE CONGO BASIN WHO EAT HUMAN FLESH. From the New York Sun, It has long been known that a few tribes of cannibals lived in Africa, but there was until Tecently no reason to believe that the tribes of anthropophagi are numerous and that cannt- balism is practiced in quite a large part of that continent, The new discovery ts the result of explorations in the Congo basin, where it is now believed cannibals are more numerous than in any other part of the world. ‘There are some striking differences with regard to this Practice among the various tribes. When Lieuts. Kund and Tappenbeck were INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT THE TOOTHSOME DELICACY — WHY THEY LOVE THE QUIET COVES OF THE CHESAPEAKE—OLD DAYS TER- RAPINS WERE DIRT CHEAP, A Baltimore correspondent of the Philadel- phia Press says the diamond back terrapin season has been open a couple of weeks now and enough time has elapsed to show what kind of a season it is to be. All the big dealers in Baltimore say that terrapin are unusually plentiful and that the scare pro- mulgated from New York is entirely unreason- able and unsupported. Baltimore is the great- est terrapin market in the world, just as the Chesapeake bay is the greatest feeding ground for these reptiles. It is estimated that out of this bay and {ts tributaries over $1,500,000 worth of terrapin are taken annually, At the average price of $30 a dozen this means 600,000 nd it requires the steady work of over 500 meni to catch them. Like the canvas-back duck, the terrapin feeds eilefly on water celery or water cress, and this grass is particularly abundant in the Chesapeake, more so, in tact, than in any other body of water in the world, ‘This explains why the eanvas-baek duck, after leaving his British home, farther north than even New York aldermen ‘zo, flies straight to the Chesapeake, | It explains, too, why the terrapin roost In’ its coves and refase to leave until taken away to grace the festivities of the banquet nail. A MODERN DISH. And yet the terrapin is a comparatively re- cent dish, Within the present centary one of the great planters of Anne Arundel county leavesit on record that he bought the best ter- pin in the Annapolis market for twelve and halt cents each, and that bis slaves oace re- ‘e them terrapin instead of ago old John M. Clayton, 2 Delaware ever raised,and who was among the first to discover the almost divine succuience that reposes in a good dish of terrapin, bought them by the quantities, pay- ing $1 for an ox-cart load, which he would have dumped in the cellar like # ton of coal, Here the terrapin tay all the winter, or until the de- mands of the tabie had exhansied the stock. A peculiarity of the terrapin is that STARVATION DOES NOT HURT IT. ‘The bizzest dealer in Baltimore nailed one in @ box securely and gave it neither food nor drink for three months. When he took it out it weighed an ounce more than it did when he put it in. This sounds like a laware river fish story, but it is solid vertheless.

Ss Expensive Battons. They Were Worn Once Too Often by Gambler Gonzalo of New Orleans. From the New Orleans Times-Democrat. In 1851, when New Orleans was reached by flatboats, the cargo of apples, hay, corn, or meats was disposed of as fast as purchasers could be found, after which the crews looked up the local sights, particularly the “tiger.” Ot all thecuriosities then to be found there they preferred, beyond all dispute, the tiger. This popular quadruped was to be seen nowhere in more vigor or beauty of coat than in the gilded rooms of the Gonzalo Bros. In his saloon Gon- zalo was invariably habited in a short Jacket of green, closely fitting bis rotund body. Down the front was a row of very large buttons made from Mexican dollars, the front faces of which were so polished that they reflected light as initrors, Shortly after the noonday luneh had been served in the front saloon on a cool Sun- day, a tail, gaunt, flatboatman sauntered in toward the tables where little groups were watching with intense anxiety the turning up of the cards, by one of the dealers. ‘The game was Mexico's iavorite, monte, and large sums were scattered ubout the table. ‘The newcomer was at once recognized by many of those pres- ent, who saluted him with “How ure you, Bow- ers?” ‘Bowers nodded pleasantly 18 the might and lett, and took # seat at one of the tables “where Gonzalo Was presiding. ‘The visitor was a man whowould be conspicuous in any crowd. A quick eye, long, somewhat hooked nose, a face bronzed by exposure, and a thin, attenuated black moustaghe gave him the appearance of either a trontiersman or a veteran clreus man- ager. He watched the game closely for some time, waef his eye fell upon the large sliver buttons on Gonzilo’s coat. These seemed to hold his gaze, for, without removing his scra- tiny, he moved his chair directly opposite the littié Mexican. In a few minutes a smile over- spread his features, and he got upand went to the bar sora drink. Wiping his moustache on a big yellow bandana handkerebiet he stepped behind the table and whispered something’ in the Mexican’s car. ‘The little proprietor bowed graciously, saying loud enough for those around Hh 00 ae ‘Si, Senor, { play whatever game you lik ‘They both withdrew to. sinall anterooms in the rear, which was lighted by a large glass skylight, ‘Tne smile ot Bowers did not leave his face. Tt seemed vo glow even more radiantly when they sat down facing each other, and when he took from his pocket a. la purse filled with gold it widened into almost » jauzh. ‘Et you've no objection, pardner,” sald Bowers, with somewhat of a drawl in bis enun- ciation, “we'll make It old sledge.” At that time old sledge, known Later as seven up, was & favorite American game, and its popularity had penetrated even the wild woods of the ex- treme wast. “Eel mi&er not de slight diferans forme what a game eet is,” replied the dapper Gonzalo, as he toox a new pack of cards from the bunds of aservant. “All right, then, old boy; old sledge it is, and we'll make it for $50 a xume,” and Bowers laid his black felt hat on the floor, ‘The game commenced, and at first Bowers lost. This, however, did Hot disturb his equa- nimity in the least.’ He chewed at the end of his elgar,as was his habit, ran his band through his long, black hair, played with a large seal ring that adorned us left little finger, and still smiled. A tew idlers drifted back ‘to where they were playing, but the two antagonists were so quict that they lost interest and went back to more enlivening games. Bowers alter some tine began to win. At firstevery second game; then two ont of every three. The Mexican sent for another pack of cards, as he said, “to change de luck.” -Atter Bowers had exainined them critically he ac- cepted them as “fair and square pasteboards,” ‘he flatboatman did not move one inch in his chair, He seemed as rigid as if carved of stone. Facing his opponent, he kept his eye fixed on the handsome green jacket of the proprietor and the silver butions.” ‘They appeared to ha some fascination for tie rough river man, Gon- zalo sat listlessly in his seut, evidencing but little interest in the game. ils cards he held low as is hand rested on the table. é At 3 o'clock in the afternoon Bowers was $1,800 ahead, and that Mexican had awakened toa decided interest in the game. He proposed to inerease the bet to $100 on each game, which oiler was promplly accepted. ‘The other tables had beeome deserted now, and there was a crowd gathered about the two players.” Side bets were offered on each game: by the specta- tors, and the excitement was growing intense. Bowers paid no heed to those around him. He had come, he said, “tv get_all_ the honey out of the gum tree, and’ne was a-goin’ to do It.” AU3:30 he had_ won $2,600, and at 4 o'clock, when he catled ror adrinx, he was $4,000 in gold ahead. Gonzalo ‘was somewhat but there was nota tremor in his hand, He explained that they had reached nearly the limits of his pile, bat would play two, more hands tor $500 euch, Bowers won both. ‘The Mexican rose Irom the table and saook hands with his antagonist, and both adjourned to take a glass of wine together. Bowers received the admiring glances of the crowd as he strotied letsurely out of the saloun, the cities where the dish can be found in its most perteet excellence. The recipes are num- erous, irom the tamous one of Sam Ward which ptivated the Prince of Wales, to all the mod- ern improvements; bat the’ terrapin, like beauty, is adorned the most when adorned the jeast, and it should always be served hot.

At the Gibson house, in Cincinnatl, Wednes- day, a highty romantic love affair culminated in the marriage of Mr. Albert C. Adair, a rising young telegraph operator of Paris, Ky.,and Miss Alma Thomas, daughter of one of the wealthiest tobacco and whisky men in the Blue Grass.section. The third party in this romance Mr. Jep. Lari, plays the part of a cruly disay pointed lover, and the outcome of the whole matter is a subject of discussion among a Wide circle of acquaintances of those concerned. ‘Miss Thomas is one of Kentucky's most cele- brated beauties, and isas been the object of the attentions of more ES ‘one ardent pants easy some months past Mr. Larl, a prospero' well-known young merchant of Paris, has been Palcgaes to be the most favored suitor, and gnly @ short time ago the betrothal was’ pub lely announced, the marriage day being fixed for November 28. Erstwhile, however, the young lady had been receiving the attentions of Mr, Adair in spite of the opposition of her parents and the advice of her iriends, who re- garded it as an impropriety in view ot the close proximity ot her wedding to Mr. Lari. The two maneged matters so bores! that on Wednesday they fied from their homes and were united in marriage a few hours later. Mr. C. E, Nippert volunteered his assistance In the elopement, which was of course unavoidable, late esday night it was consummated. Shortly after midnight a ugey was driven toa safe position near the Thomas homestet and Mr. Adair and Mr. Nippert approached the house. “Miss ‘Thomas svou appeared at one of the upper windows and dropped to the twain below the bundle containing the garments in which she was tohave wedded Mr. Larl.

HE WILL NOW MAKE AN EFFORT TO ESTAB- LISH AN ALIBI. An important revelation 1s looked for to-day in the now famous Cluverlus murder case, in Which Thomas J. Cluverius has been convicted of the murder of his cousin, Fanny Lillian Madison, at the city reservoir in Richmond, March 13th, 1885. Cluverius is under sentence of death on December 10th. Strenuous efforts have been made to get the accused pardoned, on the ground that he has been convicted upon purely circumstantial evidence, and a petition will be presented to this effect to the governor to-day. A Richmond special to the Baltimore American last night says: One of the most dam- aging features of the trial to Cluverius was his refusal or inability to give any account of his whereabouts on the night of the murder. To- day Mr. F. A. Howell, one of the members of the jury that convicted him, visited Clu- Verius in his cell. ‘The prisoner asked the visitor It it would make any difference if he made a statement accounting for his move- ments from the time of his arrival here, the day betore the murder, until he was arrested.

It is understood that the prisoner will have a state- ment of this kind ready to-morrow. te It Looks Like a Five Dollar Note. BUT IT IS A CLEVER PAINTING WORTH $1,000. A New York special says: Theodore Stewart has had on exhibition at his John street saloon for six months past an oil painting of a five dollar biil, It was painted on Stewart’s order by William M. Harnett, the well-known artist, ‘The picture has deceived bankers and experts by its fidebity to detail and by the accuracy of the figures and of the signature upon it, Many believed 1t was a $5 note pasted to the boa: although by order of Stewart the artist painted sections of it at a time, exbibiting the work in its successive stages Of development. Thurs- day afternoon Special Agent Drummond, of the Treasury departineni, entered the plice and said he had come for the picture, as it was & violation of the law, under the Revised Statutes, to print, engrave, photograph or make in any Way a facsimile of'a federal bank note. He also said that it would be necessary tor him tosend the painting to Washington for the opinion of the Secretary. “Mr. Stewart acqui- esced.

UNRESTRICTED INTERSTATE COMMERUE PRO- CLAIMED, An important economic reform has been pro- claimed in Mexico. A movement has been going on for some time for putting an end to the system oftaxation whereby the states col- lected duties on national and foreign merchan- dise in transit through their respective territo- ries, In May last a constitutional amendment Was submitted to the states forbidding the im- position of transit duties, import duties on products of other states and on the exportation of merchandise, ‘The amendment also forbids the states to put a higher import duty on for- eign goods than will be fixed by the federal law. Ivis expected that congress will fix a uniform tax of five percent ad valorem. ‘This amend- ment, having been adopted by the majority of the states, has received the sanction of both chambers'of congress, und was on Friday pro- claimed in the ustal form, being read at various points in the City of Mexico and copies of it posted on walls. os—_____ A Murderer’s Remorse. HIS DAUGHTER DENIES THAT HIS VICTIM HAD SEDUCED HER, Patrick Hayden, a well known-politician of Jersey City, was fatally shot in his liquor saloon Thursday by James Cavanagh. The murderer surrendered himself at a neighbor- ing police station, and when brought into the Presence ot his dying vietim for identification shouted in passion I—n you, I shot you, and would do it Hayden died at 6:46 oclock. ‘The shooting was said by some to be the result of Hayden’s alleged intimacy with Cavanagh’s daughter. The murdered man owned three saloons and was very wealthy. Cavanagh was arraigned yesterday morning on acharge of murder. In accordance with the advice of his counsel, he waived an examina- tion and was committed for trial. The prisoner Was not told of Hayden’s death until yesterday morning, Several times during the night he called officer Burry to his celland inquired, with great scilcitude, about Hayden's condi- tion. Upon being told that he was not yet dead, but was very low, he dropped upon his knees and clasping his hands, exclaimed: “Thank God! I hope he will recover.” Yesterday morning he was visited by Mrs. Jennie Fogarty, his daughter, who 1s the wite of 4 baker in’ Greenwich sireet, New York, ‘There was a pathetic scene. Cavatiagh charged her with being the cause of his trouble. “What do you mean?” inquired the woman, “Why, you know that Hayden ruined you be- fore you were married,” he replied. Mrs. Fogarty here ‘burst into tears and in- dignantly denied the accusation of her father. When told by Chiet of Police Murphy yesterdi morning that Hayden was dead,Cavanagh sani speechless upon his cot Winter's Charms, When the air is cold, Aud the winds grow bold, the robes of snow do the earth enfold; When the home tights xiow And the bright dames throw ‘Their wvelluw sleain in a golden ow, And winter's charm again you know!

Although the policy of the empire is always pacific, Germany, in view of the development of the military estublishments of neighboring states, cannot longer deter increasing her defensive force, eepecislis, the peace effective.

Searching for the North Pole. COX. GILDER'S CHANCE OF STARVING IF HE FINDS NO PROVISIONS AT CAPE SABINE, ‘From the New York Sun, At the suggestion of Lient, Brainard, of the Greely Arctic relief expedition, the friends of Col. William Glider have decided to send sup- Plies to the plucky searcher for the north pole at Cape Sabine or Cape Isabella in the spring. Lieut. Brainard has been nearer to the north Pole than any other living man, and Col. Gilder as written to New York that he will foliow the route taken by Brainard and Lockwood to the highest point reached by them, and from there work steadily to the extreme’ north of Green- Jand. Then he will make a dash for the pole over the rough ice. Lieut, Brainard says that Col. Gilder might starve to death if he reached Cape Sabine and found no food there. He has written to the explorer’s brother, Mr. Richard W. Gilder, edi- tor of the Century, urzing some prompt action in the spring. Mr. Glider has written to Capt. Spicer, the whaler, suggesting that one of the Scotch vessels that'sail to Greenland shall land food and other suppites at either Cape Sabine ‘or Cape Isabella, A letter shall then be left at Pond's Inlet with instructions to Col. Gilder as {0 where he is to look for the cached provisions, The last scheme was suggested by the explorer himself betore he left Winnipeg. President Charles P. Daly, of the American Geographical society, has offered to assist Col. Gilder's brother in every way. The plan will be carried out en- tirely through private enterprise, Mr. Glider Seems to feel that the lives of the exploring Party depend upon this. ‘The last letter received from Col. Gilder was dated at Oxford house on October 3, It enclosed. two photographs of a shipwrecked party which was taken by the explorer himselt. He says that he was urged to wait until a Scotch whaler sailed, and expiains that he needs all the time between now and the atrivalof the next whaler 8 Cape Sabine to become acquainted with the natives who are to make up his party. The Colonel declares that, while the Greenland na- Uves are honest and loyal enough, they are not ft _to accompany an expedition into such a perilous region, lacking the necessary knowl- edge and training. He prefers the Esquimaux, with whom he has had great experience on his Previous voyages. The tone of his letter shows that he is entirely confident of success. In three years he expects to come back to New York with a full description of the polar centre. Dr. Matthews, one of the party shipwrecked at Oxford house, visited this city a few days ago, and reported ‘that both Col. Gilder and Mr. Griffith were in excellent health when they left for Roe’s Welcome. In his communication Lieut. Brainard says that, Glider’s present plan is to go.“by way of Lake Winnipeg, Nelson’s river and Hudson's bay to the northern part of Roe’s Welcome, where he will spend the winter, living with the Esquimaux in order that he "may gain their contidence and esteem. Next spring (1887) having secured the co-operation of the nati Col. Gilder contemplates traveling northwai ‘cross Melville peninsular to Pond inlet and then to Cape Sabine. Should he reach Cape Sabine next summer he will push forward to Fort Conger in the following year (1888).” On the long and dangerous stretch between (ape Sabine and Fort Conger the Greely party lett nothing but a barrel of hard bread. Lient. Brainard has marked the location of this barrel on the explorer’s map. At Fort Conger the arty will find a good deal of cached provisions, ut they are not likely to be in a very good con- dition, “Ninderman, the hero ot the Jeannette survivors, sent word to Col. Gilder that, if he finds himself “in a fix” in the region reached by Lockwood and Brainard, to “retreat across Greenland and trust to the natives.” pect The Recent Chicago Strike. INSIDE HISTORY OF THE AFFAIR—WHAT POI- ITICS HAD TO DO WITH IT. The inside history of the recent strike at the packing houses at the Union stock yards is printed in Chicago, When the pack- ers decided to return to the ten-hour working day on October 14 the workmen, supposing that they would be backed by the’Knights of Labor, struck, excepting the beet butchers, who had & contract “with the firms of Ar- Switt and Morris requiring four notice before opening hostilities. Despite this agreement, the beef butchers of Armour & Co,, were ordered out on the follow- ing Thursday by District Master Workman Butler. T. P. Barry arrived at this time. Butler a candidate for sheriff of Cook county. arry investigated and found that Butler had made a mistake. Barry wanted the butchers to return to work, but the damage had been done. Butler made evasive replies. Rev. ¥.M.Fiannagan, pastor of St. Ann's church, tel egraphed a long’ statement of all the facts to Mr. Powderly, declaring that unless the men were ordered to return to work incalculable injury and misery would result. Barry was immedi- ately telegraphed to order the men to return to work, but did not do so until the following Sun- day. "Butler told Barry that the order would cause him (Buuler) to lose 2,000 votes. Before leaving Barry divested Butler and the execu- tive board of the district of all_power to create another strike, instituting a committee to have change of all matters affecting these workmen, Butler sueceeded in having the committee of five overthrown, and a committee of twenty- three, with himself ‘as chairman, ap- pointed, contrary to the constitution of the knights, The cattle butchers in returning to work had succeeded _in having their wages inereased from $24 to $27 4 week, agreeing to work ten hours. On-the day belore election several drunken men rushed among the work- men at Swift’s house, ordering them to quit work, and they did so. ‘This panic had been carefully planned. On the following day all those on strike voied for Butler. Tho latter called out Armour’s men on the Thursday suc- ceeding the election. Master Workman Gaunt protested and he and two followers were ex- pelled from the order. Barry reappeared and the order from Powderly, “which was sup- pressed for tour days, caused the ending Of the strike. —__+e+-_____ An Illinois Sensation. HON. JEHU BAKER ASSAULTS A REPORTER, Hon. Jehu Baker created a sensation in Belle- ville, IL, yesterday by assaulting J. M. Beach, the suburban reporter of the St. Louis Republi- ean, and defying Col. Morrison’s henchmen when they attempted to eject him from the post office. A St, Louis special to the Philadel- phia Press last night says: Beach had worked hurd for Morrison during the campaign and hud written several articles calculated to in- flame Mr. Baker's temper. They had not met for several weeks, and when they encountered ach other in the post office to-day, Beach bowed, but the Hop. Jehu turned on him wrathiully and began abusing him for his con- duct during the campaign. He denounced the Chicago News and Zimes and the Bellev: News and St. Louis Republican. He then de- nounced Beaeh personally and struck at him with his cane. Beacn dodged the first blow, and the second struck him on the arm, Hé then closed with Baker and wrenched the cane from his grasp, at the same time telling him he was too old a man to strike. After losing the cane Baker attempted to use his hands, but YPostinaster Engiemaun rushed in between’ the pair and after separating them ordered them to jeave the building. Beach stepped to the street, but Baker retused to go. Englemann, who 13 an appointee of Col.’ Morrison, then ‘made a formal demand on Baker to leave the premises of the government; Baker again refused and Englemann summoned two policemen. By this time a great crowd had collected and some ol Mr. Baker's triends took possession of bin. and carried him away, Beach was not hurt, z Pesci hd A $20,000 Stallion’s Singular Deai From the San Francisco Bulletin. Silver Cloud, the $20,000 racer of Lucky Baldwin, did not die a natural death, as was at first reported, but was killed in the most singu- lar manner possible. What the magnificent beast did was to dart against the drawgate at the Buy District track. “He struck the post and fell senseless, and, in spite of the best veterl- nary aid, died within au h The Mining Law was Violated. AND FORTY-TWO MEN WERE TERRIBLY BURNED AT WILKESBARRE IN CONSEQUENCE. Forty-two men were severely burned and others slightly injured by the explosion in the’ Conyngham shatt, at Wilkesbarre, Pa., yester- day. ‘The explosion was tbe severest known In the anthracite region this year, and was due to a violation of the inining laws in allowing gas to accumulate at the bottom of the shat.” The report of the explosion was heard for miles around. A most pitiful sight was witnessed at the head of the shaft when the injured and dying men were brought up. They were all Wrapped in horse blinkets and sheetings. Some. were so terribly burned as tobe unrecog- nizable, the skin peeling off their faces and bodies.” Carriages and wagons were summoned snd the unfortunates taken to the hospital, ‘Their agonizing eries as they were being taken away were most heartrending, and the horror Of the scene was increased by the wailing of the wives, mothers and children of the injured ‘men, who had gathered in great numbers about tue Mnouth of the shaft. Itis thought that 12 of the unfortunate men are burned so badly that recovery is impossible. ee Base BALL PLayers’ CuaNcES.—Dalrymple, the left tlelder ofthe Chicago club, was reloused by President Spalding yesterday, and at once signed. contract to play with the Pittsburg team for the season of 1887.
