M. Orobauval, as president of tho council.
Too latter began hostilities shortly after ho
assumed ofllco by offering an overt affront
to President Loubet and M. Waldeok-Houa-soau
by ostentatiously leaving the gym-
nastto festival in tho garden of tho Tull
erles at which they wro present. The na
tionalist press warmly approved this action
on the part of M. Orcbauval.
Tho government's first reply was Its fail
ure not to Invite representatives of tho mu
nicipality to attend the unveiling of the
Washington and Iafayette monuments In
this city and other like lucldeuts followed.
Then the municipalities projected totes In
honor of all the mayors of France In connec
tion with which President Loubet even re
fused to receive tho town officials, who were
to offer htm an Invitation, aa tho fete was
obviously intended as a demonstration
against tho government. The latter, more
over, through the medium of the prefects of
'the Seine and Paris strangled tho feto by
' Informing Mayor Orebauval that he had no
.authority to Issue Invitations, except con-

Jointly with tho prefects. M. Orebauval,
thus humiliated and finding thnt most of the
replies to his invltntlotiH wero refusals In
which tho writers reproved him for working
to undormlno tho republic, abandoned the
fete. Tho government cleverly retorted by
answering that tho people of Paris would
not lose by tho abandonment, for tho ar
rangements begun by tho municipality
would bo carried through under the auspices
of tho exposition authorities.
The next development in the duel was a
renewed bid for popularity by deciding that
the sum originally allotted for the expenses
of the mayoral feto should be distributed
among tho poor of the various wards. Then,
It is stated, tho municipality asked an In
terview with M. Waldcck-Ilousseau In or
der that they might discuss a new municipal
bill, which would mako the municipality
more Independent. This application was
made by tho vico president and M. Wnl-deck-Rousseau's
response, that published to
day, la the last nnd most serious phaie of
the strugglo between tho two bodies.
M, Waldook-Itousseau did not even write
to the vice president direct, but to tho pre
fect of the Seine, whom he asked to Inform
the vice president that his application Is re
fused. The premier points out that M. Oro
bauval has broken all relations with him.
Ho says it Is difficult to allow the municipal
council to bo repreientod by the vice presi
dent when It desires to enter Into communi
cation with tho government, and by the
president when It Is n question of Insulting
It. M. Waldcck-Rousseau concludes by In
structing tho prefeot to recelvo nil the
council's communications to the government.

STOCKHOLM, Sept. 22. The recent ap

ter to tho premiership shows how llttlo the
qucstlous of protection nnd free trade figure
In tho present politics of Sweden. When
former Premier nostrum determined to ro
tire he suggested tho appointment of Count
1 O. Sparro or Vlco Admiral von Otter. Th
former declined and the king appointed tho
latter. The now proralor Ls an out and ou
free trader, yet he was appointed upon
i tuo nuvice or nis predecessor, who Is
strong protectionist. Tho explanation o
tho anomaly is found In tho fact that in

Norway aro the paramount questlona of th
day and that In these matters Vice Admiral
von Otter ls Jn porfeot accord with the
present policy of the king and tho other
ministers.

PARIS, Sept. 22. (New York World Ca
blegramSpecial Telegram.) Nobody can
concclvo what an army of 20.000 people make
till he has seen that number closely assem
bled, aa wero today's formidable nrray, eat
ing at tho feast. Tho exact number of
guests served, counting all oHlclals not
mayors and newspaper men, was 23,440, not
22,000; 1,500 head waiters, each commanding
eighteen men, Including waiters, wlno
openers, dishwashers and Ice cream men,
the total number ot employes on the cater
er's payroll, with wagon drivers, cooks,
silver caretakers and detectives Is exactly
24,080. This fact of over one man per guest
la explained becauso everything had to bo
brought to the Tullerlcs gardens for Just
one meal. Contrary to what some Imagl
natlvo correspondent cabled no automo
bile wns employed In tho service. Only a
dozen blcyclo orderlies, each a veritable
acrobat on his machine, were employed to
transmit orders along tho pantrlos, Noth
ing was cooked about the place, conse
quently tho menu consisted of cold dainties
altogether, consequently no such hugo
kitchen as described was built or needed.
Tho victuals wore brought during the night
previous by delivery wagons. Everything
arrived in Its dish ready to place ou the
table. Kven tho Ico cream carao portioned
out In dainty paper molds, where It was
frozen on tho grounds by twelvo refriger
ating machines, started when lunch begun.
The service was admirably organized by
oxperts Potel & Chabot, the largest cater
lng firm in France. Although everybody
felt nervous lest tho banquet should be
marred by confusion nnd disorder every
thing went splendidly and without a hitch.
Mllrn of Tiiltlrn mill Shelvn.
Tho system wns Ingenious and simple.
Under long, lofty, well decorated tents
supported by a light Iron structure, tho
tables wero arranged In six parallel rows,
with passages between tho tablo ends for
service. Alongside each tent was another,
simpler, making a pantry of exactly the
same length. All along this In the center
had been built shelf work, six shelves high
Upon each sholf one courso wns arranged
ready In dishes with plates and everything
else necessary to serve it. Tho top shelf,
for example, Bhowcd nu uninterrupted line
of ealad dishes ns far as the eye could
sec. On the lower roast fowls, garlanded
with colored Jollies and truffles, stood side
by side for nearly ono mile. This shelf
arrangement, being partitioned by squad
when the electric signals camo to change
plates and pass the ucxt courso, each head
waiter dispatched three of bis eighteen
men to each of the six tables opposite his
shelf section with dishes and tho accom
panylng wines. Tho soiled plates were
handed to helpers, who piled them on
counters, no attempt being mado at dish'
washing. Tho coffco making In tho one
great brass urn by tho section devoted to
lco cream freezing was tho only operation
performed upon tho grounds besides serving
whnt was brought propared. Tho strictest
precautions had been taken against any
part of tho servico being slurred or a sin
gle guest being neglected. The waiters
wero hired with the understanding that
they could be discharged on the spot with
out appeal and without pay at tho least
sign of misbehavior or Incapacity, while
a reserve, S00 strong of chosen men, each
most capable, stood In small squads ready
to roplaco employes summarily dismissed,
or nsslst whcievcr needed. As a conse
quenco every single guest was well at
tended and dined well, for each courso,
prepared under exports by the best cooks
In the French capital, was delicious.
AVorlx of a Pretty Wuiiiiin.
Porhaps tho most wonderful feature
about the undertaking ls that the success
of tho most colossal banquet ever given
is solely duo to one young woman, Mile.
Potel, daughter of tho principal partner
of the catering firm. She 1b 26 years old,
tall, witty, pretty and extremely stylish.
Though very wealthy and educated, having
moved In the most retlned circles, Mile.
Potel, who ls a very onergetlo business
woman to tho finger tips, took an active
part in the management of her father's
concern ever since she camo out of school.
From the unanimous verdict of the eight
partners she ls the most precious superin
tendent. As Mile. Potel la going to marry
the star Parisian criminal lawyer's sou,
when tho government awarded tha banquet
contract sho took entire charge of the
tremendous affair, saying It would bo the
crowning glory of her catering career,
Today she was on tho spot In the awollest
of Armnnd's gowns, a largo Gainsborough
bat and whlto gloves, hor haudsomo face
cold and calm, surrounded by several aides
de-camp nnd several bicycle boys leading
their wheels ready to Jump and carry her
ordors. Sho walked through pantries, her
cyo noticing everything sharply. Sho reprl
manded head waiters, discharged clumsy
servnnts, Issued slgnalB to hurry or slow
opcrntlons. Several times waiters whom
sho dismissed In terms redacting disagree
ably upon their abilities refused to submit.
Sho brookod no protest, however, but turned
to tho police officers stationed at each pantry
section, who took tho offender out, right
or wrong, explaining that mademoiselle
could not bo bothered with explanations
and so must arrest them.
The main tent wns so vast that three
full military bands constantly played
amidst tho aggregato ntagara of conver
satlon, fork and plate rattling, without In
terfering with each other. The World
correspondent had tho tables measured
beforo the banquet opened. The total
length was eight kilometers. The reckoner
says if the guests were seated In a single
lino It would bo oleven American miles
Together with tho mounted troops, foot
police and employes nearly 60,000 people
gathered within tho Tulcrics gardens
On Concord square and the streets adjoin
lng tho spectators, cheering tho president
ministers and mayors, wore estimated ut
over 50,000.
Tho only disagreeable Incident was the
expulsion of Max Kegls, antl-somlto mayor
of Algiers, who tried to make a speech
stirring up political passions, Tho meal
lasted one hour and a half.

BURGLARS ROB DRUG STORE
TlilrvoK Mnkr n (iooil limit nt SprliiR-
flclil nnd INciipc vltli Their
Plunder.
SPRINGFIELD, Neb.. Sept. 22. (Special
Telegram.) llurglars broke Into the drug
store of L. F. Dates at uu early hour this
morning. They blow open bis safo and took
thorofrom Jewelry nnd sllverwaro to the
amount of $300 and made good their escape
Among tho articles stolen were threo ladles'
nnd two men's gold watches and six cheap
watches, 120 gold rings, fifty wntchchalnB nnd
a tray of collar and cuff buttons, besides sev
eral sets of sliver lculvcs, forks and spoons,
and J" in money.
A. H. McKnight, who resides over his
hardwaro store Just across tho street, saw
the burglars lighting matches In the store,
but at first thought It Mr. Rates. After
watching them for some time ho concluded
that they were robbers and went to get help.
Within fifteen minutes ho had a dozen or
more men on tho scene, but the birds had
flown.
The Spearman bloodhounds wero nt once
put upon the trail and, after making a clr
cult of the town, took up a trail to the
south to tho Loulsvlllo bridge, where they
lost It. Papers from .Mr. Hates' safe were
found half a mllo north of town, which
lends the authorities to believe they went
north and that tho dogs were on a back
track.
The section house on tho Rock Island at
Richfield, five miles east of here, was
broken open and the handcar taken and
found dumped oft tho track near Albright
this morning. This makes It almost certain
that the robbers went to Omaha. Mr. Hates
offers a reward of $50 for the return of his
property.

MINISTER'S POOD
It's Vnlue DUeovereil Ilurluu: Almrnun
of Kiiiull.
Rev. J. H. Ley, pastor of the First M. K.
Church, South Tampa, Fla had an Interest
ing experience when his family wero com
pelled to lcavo on account of tho yellow
fever. Ho says: "LaBt September, when
we wero visited by n yellow fever scare,
my family left for an lndullulto stay in
tho Interior.
"I had, for about two years, been under
considerable) physical and mental strain,
and my nervous system Heetncd to utterly
glvo way. I had some excellent physicians,
but their remedial ngenrlcs fulled to roach
the raiie at best affording only temporary
relief.
"At tho time tho family loft, my atten
tion was called to Orapo-Nutu food. Bev
eral things had led mo to believe that my
troubles wero largely due to Improper
nutrition. The nbBonce of the family gav
mo a good opportunity to try tho new food,
for It Is perfectly rooked and thereforo re
quired no work on my part.
"So I began to mako two meals a day,
supper nnd breakfast, on Grape-Nuts and
cream or milk, anil had nothing else. I
confined myself to thu proper allowance.,
not overeating. The Improvement wa
marked, almost from tho first my diges
tion was hotter, sleep became regular and
restful, and I began to guln tleuli. 1 could
hooii do work with less fatigue and more
satisfaction.
"My nervoua system ban been wonder
fully Improved, and today I weigh mora
than I have ever weighed, and fiud my
strength equal to all the responsibility.
This Is not all; on the return of tho family
Grupe-Nuts became a regular article ol
food ut thn morning hour. The children
ate It and Improved.
".My wife, who was nursing nn Infant,
discovered thnt after she began using
Grape-Nuts regularly, for tho llrst time in
many years, Nature's food supply for the
baby was adequate, without resorting to
artificial subterfuges. Grape-Nuts food
not only carried us through the sickly
season, but has been a Godsend to our en
tire fitnllr."
