Sumptuous Repeat Laid on Qravoatonaa In St. Petersburg—Plenty to Drink, but No Drunkenness or Unseemly Noise—Cost Estimated at $500. From fa ruff Chicago there came to St. Petersburg, the capital of all the RushIhs, the tale of the great banquet to American tramps and beggars, writes a St. Petersburg correspondent of the New York Press. No doubt the gayety and magnificence of Dr. Reit- man’s spread to hoboes were much dis torted when the story reached the ears of Russian beggars. Yet it made an impression, and especially on Ivan Stepanoff, the king of Russian beg gars. Ivan the other day celebrated the thirty-fifth anniversary of his rule. This king of the underworld was most anxious to celebrate the event in an up to date manner, and so the mo ment lie beard of the Chicago feast he decided that be would follow suit and give a gorgeous banquet. Those familiar with Russia and Russian life know that one of the fea tures of the land is the army of beg gars. There is no charity organiza tion society to bother, and the police are friendly—so friendly, in fact, that there is a probability that the beggars either pay a goodly percentage or buy outright from the police their numer ous stands in the streets df the cities. Ivan Stepanoff is a man of sixty—a tall, well built man with white hair and beard, having more the appear ance of a well to do artisan or minor official than a beggar. Yet be has plied ids "trade” for a good thirty-five years and always at the same stand, the largest and most fashionable cem etery of St. Petersburg, situated in the suburb of Kolomna. Here be is one of the most noted figures, dressed in picturesque rags. He bus a soft voice, an engaging manner, and with visitors and sightseers as well as mourners be is a success in soliciting alms for bim- aelf, bis “poor” wife and ‘‘starving 1 children. As a matter of fact, which the po lice, but not the public, is aware of, bis wife wears valuable furs and dia monds; one of bis daughters is mar ried to a merchant who, with her, re ceived a large "dot,” and bis two sons are students at the Lycee and may shortly gain well paid positions in the official service. The police, hut not the public, also know that the very handsome villa inclosed by a large and well kept gar den situated in the Kolomna suburb is Stepanoff s borne and that be built it himself. The menage is a luxurious one, and the beggar has bis servants and bis trotters just as if be were a noble or a wealthy merchant. So much for the king of beggars. For bis anniversary be decided to fol low the idea of the Chicago banquet, yet even on a grander scale. He caused invitations to in* sent broadcast to the beggars, trumps and miscellaneous ho boes of St. Petersburg. The banquet hall was the cemetery, the home of his exploits. The police, strange to say, raised no objections to the Jubilee In the grave yard. They allowed the caterer’s wag ons to unload huge piles of eatables and great baskets filled to the brim with bottles of strong vodka. They allowed the guests—the queerest as semblage In the city—to gather to the number of a round thousand, and, fur thermore, they raised no objections to the graves and gravestones being used ae tables. On each gravestone was laid a sumptuous repast, with its prop er complement of liquid refreshment. A dozen or more of the strange guests gathered round each grave, depending on its size, and there feasted. Ivan | himself presided at one of the central graves, a great mausoleum, the fam ily vault of a prince.

Famots Hotel Men Who Have Risen From th. Ranke. "Why. some of the biggest hotel and restauniut men of today begun us waiters." said Julius Klos. secretary of the Iiitet national Association of Wait ers, iu speaking of the recent meeting of I lie organization. "There is Mti- scbeubeiin. He begun us a waiter and landed us the proprietor of the Hotel Astor. There are the Delruoulcos. The bead of the bouse started iu as a wait er. There is Mr. Tscbirky”— "Who?” Mr. Klos looked surprised. ‘‘Why, gentlemen, you know him," said be. "That's Oscar.” Ah, yes, Oscar of the Waldorf-Asto ria. Who doesn’t know him by name at least? And what does Oscar think of all this business and fuss of the waiters, their elevation and their tips? Oscar sat back in bis chair at the Waldorf-Astoria. He is well groomed, plump, good natured. Twenty-two years ago he came to America from Switzerland a waiter. Today be is the general manager of the best known hotel iu America. Oscar’s fame grew under the title of chef of the Waldorf- Astoria. As a matter of fact, be nev er was chef there. He was bead wait er and afterward uiuitre d’hotel, and then be was placed In full charge of the bouse. "Yes, yes.” said Oscar, “I know what those fellows want. They want $150 a month wages and all the tips, and then they will want the hotel. I’ll tell you something about waiters.” And he whirled around iu his chair some what savagely. "There are good wait ers, there are bad waiters and there are’V-he paused Just a moment to lean over to me and hiss in my ear—"and there are vilely bad waiters. I know. I see all kinds.” "But how about the tips?” I asked. "Ob, the tips! Of course.” Oscar smiled blandly, broadly. "Ob, the tips!" said be, aud he closed his eyes as if he saw them again in Ms mind, aud I half suspect that he was almost in clined to put out his hand. "The tip is the thing," be added emphatically. "Why not? When I was at the Hoff man House and later at Delinonlco’s I never received less than $110 a mouth In tips. That was pretty good, wasn't it? I supported a family aud my father and mother on that, and I saved some money too. I had friends. Yes, they all knew Oscar. You see. I knew the value of Iteing attentive. I watched my customers, I pleased them. Then, I wasn’t afraid of work, and I saved money for the proprietor by looking after everything for him. But tips—why, of course. The ethics of serving? See here!” He reached over the desk and picked up a ruler. “The ethics of serving? Bah! Cou- mou sense Is what I want in a waiter.

The second little wish began the same, but ended, ‘Let me sit at table where I can hear her voice!’ And the third one, the big wish, ended, ‘Let me sit where I can both see those eyes and hear her voice!' “Well, those wishes were scarcely formed before my host crossed the room and informed me in a casual way that I was to take Miss Corelli iu to dinner.

As ont lor History In a Hotel Register. Aside from its prominence as a hos telry, at one time the most famous and fashionable in the metropolis and ^tearing on its register of guests the names of most of the distinguished men and women, native aud foreign, who ever visited the city or lived in it, the Fifth Avenue hotel, now doomed to demolition, will hold a place of its own in the annals of the times as a birthplace of history. A trustworthy statistician has calculat ed that no other single hotel in the world htts ever entertained so many eminent persons as have been received at the Fifth Avenue, aud asserts that, ‘‘beginning with the Prince of Wales (now King Edward), in 1800, a year after the hotel was opened, a never ending procession of the great men of this and other countries has marched through its corridors.” Every president of the United States since the hotel opened, beginning with Lincoln and including Johnson, Grant, Hayes, Garfield, Arthur, Cleveland, Harrison and McKinley, but ex cepting Roosevelt, has been a guest of the Fifth Avenue during his term of office.—Harper's Weekly. the day with much eclat that iu view of the festivities lie would abstain from importuning strangers for alms for that day, the first day iu thirty-five years iu which he had not attended to his business. vision had to do with a suit for dam ages brought against a railway com pany by a mother who had intrusted the checking of a trunk to her fifteen year-old son. The lock on the trank being defective, the company when it checked the trunk secured from the t>oy a signed release from responsi bility. In handing down Its decision, which was favorable to the railway interesting as any of these places is Jim Baker’s cabin, built iu the early forties by this intrepid scout ami pathfinder, who ranks with Jim Bridger and Kit Carson among the great char acters of the early west. Here Baker penetrated, long before any other white man thought of settling in such a wild country, and here he lived with the friendly Indians aud fought the un friendly Jribos, every day being spiced with some thrilling adventure. Baker’s unique cabin, which is built with a lookout on top. where tin* trap per used to watch for unfriendly In dians, is located in a romantic spot. It is iu the valley of the Little Snake river, which winds along the Colorado- ; Wyoming state line. It is in tin* foot- J hills of the Sierra Madre mountains aud near it is the celebrated Battle mountain, where Baker and some trap pers and squaws successfully stood off a large attacking party of Indians. Few visit the spot today because of its inaccessibility, hut this will soon be changed. A few miles below Brid- ger's cabin a development company of Denver Is opening 50,000 acres of state land to settlement. A sixty mile Irrigation ditch is being built, and next year, when the water Is turned on the laud embraced In this vast project, Jim Bilker's once lonely valley will Ite thickly populated, aud there is no doubt that a spur of the Union I’acific railroad will reach it from the north, wliile the new Moffat road, from Den ver tb Salt laike, will pass within a few miles of it at the south. Old Jim Baker himself would never have dreamed of the rush for this valley which the building of the Little Snake river ditch presages. He moved into the Little Snake country early In the forties, it Is said, because some one hud moved into the same county with him in the eastern part of Colorado a year or two before, and he consid ered the country was getting “toe denied crowded." Even when he died, in 18!)8, there was little indication of the present great demand for cheap irrigated laud, aud thw^ scout would have scoffeu at anybody who prophe sied the coming of a great Irrigation en terprise to Little Snake river valley. Jim Baker’s experience in the wild west, particularly In Wyoming, is only paralleled by Jim Bridger. Baker was born in 1818 at Belleville, 111. In 1838 he joined a company of recruits at St. Louis, iu the service of the American Fur company, and made the journey up the Missouri and across the plains into Wyoming. It is a not able fact that this first expedition was in charge of Jim Bridger, aud it was only through the tact and re sources of this notable plainsman that the entire party was not lost. Many times the party was stopped by sav ages, and the warriors held a council to determine whether to kill the white men or let them go on. But always, according to Baker, Jim Bridger’a quickness of wit and his extraordinary knowledge of the Indian character ! saved the scalps of the entire outfit. In all the years of his frontier experi ence Baker declared he was never nearer death than on this first trip, which ended at the mouth of Popo A git*, on Wind rivet Baker engaged as a trapper, forged rapidly to the front in his hazardous vocation, and soon he was ranked with Jim Bridger and Kit Carson. He “Perhaps l didn't enjoy that dinner! We talked about—but that comes later. The next day I hurried to pay a morn ing call to my host of the evening before, who was also my very good friend, and as soon as he appeared 1 began: "Tell me how it happened.’ “‘How what happened?’ “ ‘You know-how I happened to take Miss Corelli iu to dinner.’ “‘Oh. that? She asked me to let you take her in.’ "O-o-b? If I had swelled with im portance the night before, I was a ‘ pouter pigeon now! She had asked j to have me take her in! What an im- ! pression I must have made at first sight! " ‘Tell me every word she said to you about me.' 1 demanded. ‘Don’t leave out a syllable.’ “ ‘Oh, no; l can’t do that,’ he an swered rather hastily. “ ’But you must.’ "He demurred again and again, but I hung on and on until he saw there was no getting rid of me. and then at last he gave me the very words. They were: “ ‘Oh. dear Sir Charles, do send me out to dinner with that great lanky, awkward, homely American.’ ’’—Chica go Record-Herald. Idaho Poisons Coyotes. State Game Warden Stevens recent ly received a large amount of strych nine from Philadelphia which will la* used by the department for the poison ing of coyotes and other predatory animals. , The expenditure for this poison is the first to take place under the new law which placed the sum of $5,000 in the hands of the game warden for use in the destruction of wild animals. So far as known, this is the first time in the history of the United States when a state started iu along this line to protect tin* game and stock interests. While there have been com pany hunters here in Idaho, hired by local stock associations, there lias Iteen no official recognition of the hunting of wild animals as a state function. The outcome of the experiment is to Ite watched with a good deal of inter est, for the bounty system is admitted ly a failure, in that it stops short of extermination, both because of de stroying a profitable industry—that of growing wolf sculps—and then the hunters cannot make enough out of the business to keep at it when the numlter of the noxious animals begins to decrease.—Idaho Statesman. Hope Came to Him. A number of persons were talking about coincidences when a clergyman gave an instance in his own experience. "When I was a very young man, lie- fore I entered the ministry,” said he, “I met with a series of misfortunes and was nearly discouraged. One day I was seated on a bench in the park of a foreign city. My head was sunk upon my hands, and black despair cov ered me like a cloud. I had about concluded to struggle no longer when a slight noise attracted my attention, and I glanced up to see standing be fore me and contemplating me with big, solemn eyes the most beautiful little girl I have ever beheld. ‘What is your name, my pretty child?’ was ray natural inquiry. ’Hope,’ she aji wandered nil over the Itockv mountain swered in a clear, sweet voice.

In 1855 Baker entered the service of the government as a scout, and for several years he was looked upon as one of the greatest scouts and guides In the serv ice of the army. The Pike’s peak ex citement drew him to Denver, and in 1850 he built a home on Clear creek, not far from the present capital of Col orado. Here he remained until 1873, when he went hack to his first love, the Little Snake river valley. Baker, like the other old trappers of his day, had several Indian wives.
