SOME SPECIAL DISHES = Special Corr dence of The Evening Star. PARIS, June 16, 1 WO OF THE MOST prominent feature: of Parisian life—the great theaters and —are painfully avoid- ed by the average tourist. Their skrinking from the theaters is easy to understand—it is be- cause they cannot easily understand. Why sit three hours to be mystified by a foreign language? But the stomach has its own language, understood of all men, and it often speaks in sweetly musical ac- cents. The terror of the tourist must, therefore, be set down to the score of ex- pense. Most extraordinary sterfes are cur- rent of high prices in the restaurants cotes. This gentleman has taken a lady to Cubat's, where “a little dinner”—it is always vague—cost him two hundred francs. Herror! Another simply stepped Into Voisin’s with his wife—an honest man, that— and was made to give up thirty dol-} ws for a few “baked nothings.” It is Wants Sky Blue Sauce. fever the heroes of the tales who them. It is always happening to “ of mine” or “a gentleman I me! gentlemen you meet! Expensi restaurants are not cheap. And a fool and his money are soon parted. Yet it has been affirmed to me by more than one famous maitre d’notel that it ts impossible for one person, and impracticable for two, to eat twenty dollars’ worth of food in’ Paris. That is not so terrifying, when it is remembered that Paris is pe- culiarly a city of primeurs. Hot-house fruits and vegetables, absurdly out of sea- son, figure as nonchalantly on the menus of ‘these restaurants as do beans upon the bills-of-fare in Boston. There are sea- sons of the year in some rich cities when you cannot get a melon for its weight in tell friend These you a hundred dollars! Joseph, the pro- prietor of the Restaurant Marivaux, was a maitre d’hotel when picked up by Mr. Vanderbilt and taken to New York. ‘There we called him “the ten-thousand-dollar cook.” Today he is autocrat in his own house. Gustave, at the Maison Dore; Henry, at the Cafe Voisin. These are the men to call for and chat with confidentially if you do not wish to burden yourself with expense. The greatest of these rich Paris restau- rants only number about a dozen. ‘There is the Cafe de Paris, Cubai's, Chevillard’s, Durand’s, Joseph’s, the restaurant Larue, Knows It All. the Tour d'’Argent, Maire’s, Paillard’s, the Maison Doree, the Cafe Voisin and the res- taurant Lucas, together with the Cafe Anglais, the Lyon d'Or, Foyot’s and Mar- guery’s, if you choose to include them. The Cafe Anglais is rather of the past, the Lion D'Or is at present shut up, Fo: ot’s is in the Latin Quarter, and M guery’s, a restaurant really of the middle class, is only noteworthy because so many Americans have learned to run to it for its “specialty,” a sole with Norman sauce. “Del Wonderful! They say that sauce i in a special room with the door locked!" Nonsense. Four years ago it was simply “sole sauce Normande.” To- day it le Marguery” or “the sole of the house,” as the waiters nod Importantly It is simply a mussel-juice, shrimp past | Bourget. and oyster sauce done in butter and white wine. Of course, it 1s good, but it is not the only dish to take home a remembrance of, as happens with many of our touris! But—and this is important—it Is the onl: dish at Marguery’ We Americans are frequently disappoint- ed with the appearance of the rich Paris restaurants. Like the Paris theaters, where the money is spent on the birds and not | the cage, they are nearly all of them what | we would call | looking. dingy and old-fashioned- Even at Cubat's, the most m ern, the American, fresh from the marbie halls that petrified the patriotism of Paul will look about him and not be frightened; and at. Paiilard’s, perhaps the smartest of them, he will smile at the dolls" house, winding stairway and tiny, private rooms, where paint and gilding do not ai- together dissimulate the moderate original cost of the furniture and decorations. In some of the establishments the porcelain and linen are very fine, the silver services | solid and handsome, and the ivory-handted knives and forks real ivory. But, uniess one has a habit of noting such petty de- talls, the first impression is that these great restaurants look—tackey. Without setting up for too much of an expert, I would place the Maison Dore: first and Voisin’s with it, in the same rank. Yet one of the most celebrated dishes of the former 1s a plate of chicken wings and turnips! Both restaurants glory in being old-fashioned, following the “good old French traditions,” throwing no dust in the eyes. “La honne marchandiae!” says Gustave. “There is nothing else!” exclaims Henry. Everything else is humbug. M. Moures—for that 1s the hind name of the world-famed Gustave—waxes eloquent on the subject of having every ingredient of the very first qual “I can give you complicated things, but there are some people, thank heaven, who still like simple things. They like a mack- erel still tasting of the sea, a steak that is all a steak should be, potatoes chosen from a multitude and baked until they sparkle as they break!” There is a simplicity that costs. What is more simple than a dish of pease—in January—from the hot houses THE MAITRE D’HOTEL. gold. Or peaches. Or cherries. Or aspara- gus. Or half-grown new peas, boiled in their tender pods with cream. ‘Then why order a melon as hors d’oeuvre fn Paris, when melons are selling—as they were last week—for eighteen francs apiece? ‘And especially why order one for only two people? Wine is another feature of expense. There are Bordeaux and Burgua- dies at twenty,, thirty and fifty dollars a Dottle. Some people think they get their money’s worth out of them. They are wines of special vintages back in the past. There are only so many bottles of each in the world. Each time a bottle is drunk there is one less. For one who is not a Teal amateur to commit such an act is almost like buying a blooded horse and @riving him to death on a hot afternoon. ‘There are many honest men who do not know the difference between Burgundy and Bordeaux. It is no crime. Let them drink ehampagne. This is what the maitres d'hetel of the rich Paris restaurants tell me. A maitre @hotel is a very important personage. You may call him a head-waiter. But what a head-waiter! He has been years and years outside of Brussels? Or real bird-nest soup —from China? Or a roast pheasant—from the Rothschild preserves? The Maison Doree menu, from day to day, seems to number only a small number of dishes at first sight. Their recital, which only takes up a few lines of newspaper space, must serve as an indication on this head for all the rich Paris restaurants. None have the wonderful spread of a transatlantic liner dinner table. Royan oysters (from the mouth of the Garonne), Cherbourg shrimps, soles, whit- ings, smelts, turbot, salmon, mussels (the latter offering themselves to wonderful treatment with white wine, parsley, butter, white pepper and a suspicion of onion), mackerel, gudgeons, sea-sel, skate, lobsters and carp. Then there comes beef galad, a breast of mutton with Bearnalse sauce, chicken saute in the Bordelaise style, a fil- let of beef jardiniere, and a cold duck pie. The other cold dishes on this particular day were York ham, cold chicken, cold veal, fillet of beef and beef en daube. And that is ail for lunch! The fruits and tarts being understood. It should be noted, how- ever, that you may have your fish cooked in any style you please. Absolutely. That is Something to reflect on. Also, the vege- tables are not indicated. ‘This is copied from a menu card of the first week in Juné, when the usual vegetables—asparagus, ase, string beans, egs plant, new pota- foes, tomatoes and cucumbers—are current even in the cheap restaurants. Were it December, they would be named on the card. Volsin’s is exactly another such restaur- ant. Here is a dinner for two, with the prices. Cloth and napkin, .18; one Popoff (Russian vodki) for the gentleman, .20; one bottle of Graves (common white Bordeaux), .60; one bottle of Beaune (go6d ordinary Burgundy), 1.40; croute-au-pot soup (only the very pest boutlion can make this dish distinguished), .60; sole a la Russe (really a sauce Normande brought ‘up to date), 1.60; duckling (delicately accented with a puree of young turnips and cream), 3.00; asparagus, muslin sauce (delicately mixed by a master-hand), 2.40; glace gaufres (best call it an ice cream tart—the Japa- nese trick of serving ice cream in crisp, warm pie crusts), 1.00; coffee, .30; liqueurs, 0; tip per cent of bill, more or less), .60. Total, twelve dollars. ‘A lunch at Durand’s. It is always on the pfinciple of ordering one dish for two per- sons. Napkins and cloth, .12; one bottle of Barsac (a more aromatic, sweeter white Bordeaux than Graves), -80; butter, 16; pink shrimps, .30; eggs aux morilles (the rrorille is a species of mushroom; the eggs were “scrambled; and the dish was mar- velously delicate, but rich), .50; pullet aux fonds @artichauts, 1.80; strawberry tart, V0; ecffce, 24; tip, 40. "Total, five dollars. The pullet was very young and tender. It had been cut up while raw and saute-ed in an earthen ware pot. Half the success of French cookery lies in the use of earthen ware utensils. The artichoke hearts were covered with the gravy of the chicken. Some remark should be made of the eggs. Durand has an excellent egg cook, and seme of these Parisian egg dishes are won- ders. There are scrambled eggs aux crev- ettes, the shrimps being serve in the cen- ter, and eggs en cocotte au jus which only the best beef juice can make good. I cail oeufs brouilles “scrambled” only for want of a better word. The Durand strawberry tart is also something to dream of—good, "small-sized strawberries cut in half ju: t be- fore wanted, moistened in a little sirup and simply warmed in flaky crust before being served. ‘These tarts are quite re- freshing. ‘These are very serious restaurants with- out a suspicion of charlatanism—meaning to use the word in a good sense. That is to say, the appeal to wonder by the spring- ing of sky-blue sauc Nile-green jellie: ard like proprietary remedies—pleasing rather to those who are just beginning to dine well rather than to those who have dined well always—is not corspicuous. ‘The great feature of the Tour d’Argent is the Rouen cuckling; that is, here, as at Maire's, Joseph's and other fin de sie establishments the bird is jollied up under our eyes, for theatrical effect. “The Rouen duckling’’—I quote a ‘y solemn, know-it- all American gourmet in Pa who only began to eat like this a few years ago, and so still takes a keen interest—“Is a young ick that has never laid an egg—a female, cours' it is strangled, and not a drop blood is let out of its body. It is baked of till it‘is dead juicy in a porcelain pot’—I eve forgotten what it is baked with—“and then brought to me to look at. Then the master takes it away from me, places it on a chating dish, slices off the best portions, which he serves me in a sauce concocted under my eyes"—no one knows what this sauce is—“after which the carcass of the unfortunate duck is placed in a steel pres whose fercé is so gigantic that the body is reduced to the form and consistency of a brickbat. All the juice, marrow and coagu- lated blood have gushed out as from a fountain! It is with the aid of this that the wonderful sauce is made.” You can also have Rouen duck in any of Eating Cheap. the other rich Paris restaurants. qnly to order it.

It need not be said that the spreeing ranche owner, the sugared Senator, the pepular loan acceptor, or the sausage-cas- ing impressario can ‘easily run up more glorious bills. They do not all do it, how- ever. Such a one—another friend of mine— teld me the other day it is all rot to eat in the rich restaurants. He went to Colin's table d’hote in the Passage de 'Opera and had a complete dinner of sardines, con- somme, rumpsteak, asparagus, lettuce and eggs, fruit and cheese for one franc twen- ty-tive; that is, a quarter of a dollar. “The advantages of ‘this bill of fare, my boy, are manifest,” he went on, confidentially. “It is not over expensive, and look at the balance of cash you carry away, which you can easily get rid of at Henry's, Pu- laski's or the Chatham bars at a franc a drink, and it don't matter whether you or- der a bottle of soda or a glass of cham- pagne! By breakfasting and dining at the abcve restaurant I can take my drinks be- tween meals at one or all of these favorite American meeting places ana prove myself a philosopher, and not a glutton. IT am confident,” he concluded, as I helped him to his room in the Hotel Continental, “that too much money is thrown away on break- fasts and dinners, and not nearly enough spent for drink.” | STERLING HEILIG. A Woman's Will. From the Pittsburg Telegraph. Interest is attracted to a will filed in the register’s office yesterday, owing to its lack of anything that savors of legal verbiage. It is the last testament of the late Elizabeth Weigand of McKeesport, who ieft an estate worth about $5,500. The peculiar document reads: “Five hundred dollars Marie shall have and $500 Henry shall have, and $500 George shall have, and out of the interest you shall pay my fureral expenses, and the rest belongs to Kuni and George to share, and the loan in the McKeesport bank, of this Kuni shall have $200 and Levi shall have $200, and the $100 at Finten’s loan are Alni’s, atid as Herry has a horse, then Kuni shall have his herse and George shall have Ben and Levi; Frank and Henry and the rest shali go to sale. Who wants to sell his horse can sell him at the sale.” —__<$__o-____ Sure to Be Marked Down.

The Art of Shaving Phught for a Modent Fee! Now York Letter. z Gotham has a unique educational inst!- tution, It is a “barbers’ cbllege,” which was opened about two months ago. It is evidently grinding out graduate, for pa- trons of uptown tonsorial parlors, who postpone shaving until Sunday mornings, invariably find new aaah airs that are conspicuously 1dle durtngthe week. Sometimes the same man appears at these vacant chairs two successive Sundays. The “parbers’ college’ 1s to be:found not far from the Leonard street police station, and close to Washington market,and the docks. It consists of a large and plainly furnished apartment on the first floor of a modern business building. In one corner of the room is a box resembling the gallery tier in a cheap theater. Most of the day it is crowded with men and boys, very unkempt, waiting turn for the collegians to practice on them. West street furnishes an abun- dance of raw material. There are about one hundred collegians in the room hard at work on this material from 7 in the morn- ing until 6 in the evening. Most of the stu- dents are young men, not old enough to re- quire a shave Some are women. The Price of the course is $25. The students are given permission to take extra chairs in uptown barber shops during the rush hours on Sunday mornings, The first half day in the college is spent in learning how to hone and strop razors. Then for three days the pupils have to shave their victims. The rest of the course of eight weeks is spent in learning the intricacies of hair cutting. In a year th» proprietors expect to have one hundred chairs kept busy, and to have the school open in the evenings, as well as by day. A “student shave” is quite the thing now. As practice makes perfect, the graduates of the metropolitan ‘barbers’ college” may eventually hold down the best chairs in the biggest shops. oe ES CA BICYCLE Cos’ EE TROUBLE Hotel Proprictors Sued for Refusing a Lunch, Fram the Chicago Tribune. Mr. and Mrs. Harris and Mr. and Mrs. Montgomery went for a wheel ride Tues- day evening on Dearborn avenue. Mr. Montgomery wore a lignt black sack coat, but the attorney was dressed in the knick- erbocker, and the two women both had at- tired themselves according to the mode. Near Lincoln Park Mr. Harris suggested that they partake of lunch, and the four repaired to the plaza. Mr. Harris says they waited some time without being ap- proacheJ by a waiter, whereupon he made ure to one of the white-coated at- ants. This brought the man of the napkin, but with him also a surprise. He was politely informed that he could not be waited on vhile in Dicyele costume, This startled the attorney, but he re- peated his order and inquired the price. He was toid $1.25, and he drew the amount from his pocket. The waiter, how- ever, says Mr. Harris, refused to budge af- ter the des ed lunch, but, according to the attorney, 1 ed that $10 could not pay for it so long as the party appeared in the objectionable bicycle attire. The man persisted in his refusal, and Mr. Harris declared himself as decidedly outraged, but came to no satisiactory end, and the cyclists withdrew. Mr. Harris has brougat suit for $10,000 damages. BANK'S GOOD WILL. A Good Standing Greatly Advances the Price of Shares. From the Boston Herald. The United States Investor has given an analysis of the financial condition of some of the more important New York banks, accompanied with the selling price of the shares, and from this one is able to gather some idea of what it is that gives value to this form of investment. The Chemical Na- nal Bank has a capital of only $300,000, but its surplus amounts to nearly $7,500,000, and its deposits average about seventy-four times as much as its capital. Twic month its stockholders receive a div nounts in the year, to 150 per cent— alf again as much as the par value that of their sha But these shares sell for more than $4,000 each, and the basis of e@ the dividends cannot he con- But the curious feature that if the bank went into liquidation to- y and sold its assets, paid its debts, and 1 the net results among its share- the latter would re $2,500 a share for what is now seld at more an $4,000. In other words, more than a third of the market value of the Chemical Bank shares i: de up of the good will e only about | and busine ation of the corporation. | In the case of the First National Bank, which has a capital of $40,0W), and a sur- plus of $7,147,000, the of the stock, which pays 100 per cent yearly, is $1,529 per share, but in the market this stock sells at about $2.85 per share, indicating that nearly half of the market value of the institution is found in Its good will. A still more striking case is that of che Fifth Avenue Bank, which has a capital of $100,- 600, a surplus of $1,085,000, and deposits to the amount of $4,202,000, or eighty-two times the amount of its capital. In this instance, the book value of the shares, which pay an annual dividend of 100 per cent, is $1,185,000, but, in order to purchase a share in the open market, it is necessary to pay more than $3,000: in other@vords, the good will and business standing of the com- pany, as indicated by its enormous deposits, represent nearly two-thirds of the value of its shares. On the other hand, the shares of banks, such as the Shce and Leather and the Tradesman’s, which have a small rela- tive deposit account, in spite of the fact that these banks have a surplus, sell at less than their par value, showing that, in the opinion of investors, the sentimental que lity of good will, apart from other considera- tions, has a value even in so matter of fact a business as banking. * ——_-e+—_ An Actress’ Salary.

A competent leading man or wo- man, like Henry Miller or Herbert Kelcey, Viola Allen or Isabel Irving, can be had for $200 a week. The only player that has ever received, even in this prodigal country, a salary equal to that of Bernhardt was Mme. Modjeska. Edwin Booth, who knew nothing about the value of money, once engaged the Polish actress at a salary of $1,500 a week. Mr. Grau’s contract with Guilbert lasted only two weeks, after which he returned to the ckeap prices of Paris. Calve’s contract lasted five months, but during that time she sings only twice or three times a week, after which she re- turns to the moderate salaries of Europe. Melba receives $1,500 a night In this coun- try, but in Paris ts content with $300 a per- performance. But Sarah Bernhardt’s con- tract continues through summer and win- ter, and every Saturday night she pockets $1,300. Taking one thing with another, th actress is better off than the singers. Av- eraging the entire income of each perform- ance, we should say that Calve earns $50,000 a year, Guilbert about $35,000, while Bernhardt 1s sure of $75,000 annually for five years.
