Some men here find it a difficult thing to get a satisfactory din ner for $25 ; others get along nicely on a substantial meal that costa a dime or less. And there is at least one strange little restaurant here where a full repast can be purchased for 1 cent. It ia with out doubt the cheapest eating house in the world. This cheapest dining room of all is huddled down in a corner al most touching the famous Mariners temple of Oliver street, a block away from Chatham square, where streams of people from all the four corners of town pass and repass. It is little more than a wooden hut, some 18 feet long and per haps 7 broad, with a little addition tack ed on to it, which serves as a kitchen. Small as it is, however, it feeds an average of 1,000 people in a day, 20 be ing able to squeeze in before the counter at one time ; on some days as many aa 1,400 have eaten there. Tramps, out casts, vagrants and men who have fallen so low that they will never get np in the world again, come daily, sometimes three times a day, with the last copper they have in their pockets, to drink cof fee, munch the bread and eat the pea soup that constitute the bill of fare cf this most lowly of eating houses. It is a strange congregation truly that one sees within its narrow four walls a congre gation of faces stamped with vice and debauchery, of patched and rusty gar ments and unwashed cuticle. Women occasionally come to this penny dining room, but aa the proprietor doesn't care for their custom, they do not annoy him often. You ask, What can a copper buy? Well, incredible aa it may seem in these days of lavish expenditure, three cop pers expended at this tiny restaurant will buy a bowl of coffee, a bowl of pea soup and four slices of broad. A bowl of coffee and a slice of bread, the slice cut generously, costs but a cent. For a cent, too, a large bowl of soup is served, with another slice of bread. A cent more will buy two additional pieces of bread. The bowl of soup ia a full quart, the bowl of coffee a pint. "If a man wants to eat more than this at one time," the little proprietor says, "he must be a glutton." At all events, no vagrant should starve with one of these 3 cent dinnera snugly stowed away beneath his soiled linen. The pea soup ia rich, the coffee is cheap, but aa good as one finds in many pre tentious dining rooms here, and the bread is so palatable that the proprietor eata it himself. Thia 1 cent eating house has been running for over five years, and during thai time haa fed hundreds of thousands. Some months the meals served have reached the 80,000 notch. -New York Letter in Pittsburg Dis patch. NO LONGER "TRIED ON." The New Invention That Saves Women From Honrs at the Dressmakers'. A clever New York dressmaker has done away with the ordeal of "trying on," and the gowns that come from her establishment are no longer a weariness of the flesh or spirit to the woman who orders them, for they fit without being "fitted." and there is no "system" of measure and tape about the matter what soever. It is merely an ingenious device patented by this same clever woman of the needle whereby any client's figure can be copied from a perfect fitting waist lining or waist and expanded into an exact mold of every curve, every angle.. every peculiarity, of the original flesh and blood form. This woman discovered that dress makers' systems and trying ou were the trials of womankind. She forthwith reasoned that the lay figure had not been useful except for skirt draping", because of the manifest inaccuracy of it as ap plied to any and every figure. Some wo men with a 24 inch waist had a 84 inch bust measure and a length of side seams out of all proportion. Other little wo men were short waisted and broad back ed. Still others were higher in one shoulder than the other and had unac countable hills and hollows in their anatomy. It was manifestly impossible that a conventional machine lay figure should be able to assume all the shapes of all the women. No, each woman must have a mold of her own, and an exact mold, over which bodices could be aa perfectly fitted aa on the flesh and blood woman. ihe invention consists of an artistic and perfectly fitted waist lining of can vas, strong, but flexible, and shaped to every line of the bodice. Into this lining is inserted a cunning device which ex pands it into the exact shape it was while upon the woman, just as rigid, just aa solid, aa if there was the real anatomy inside of it, a true reproduction of the figure. Jenness Miller Monthly. Disappointment. A Washington paper says that a young lady of the Capital City met a gentle man from a far western state at a party in Washington. "Yon are not from the far west, sir?" she said doubtfully. "Yes. I have lived thero all my life. " "Oh, I'm so glad to meet youl" "Thank you." "But excuse me you see, I'vt. read all the western stories, and it seems to me that you've forgotten something. " "Nothing that I can call to mind." "Why. you don't say 'thar and 'look hyar, stranger, ' and use all sorts of bad grammar, and wear a pistol so that it bulges out your coat. " "I have never done those things." "Oh, dear! Then my idol is shatter 9d!" Fair Offer. In the middle of the third act the young woman with the big headdress turned around in her seat and spoke to the youth immediately behind her. "Sir," she said, "if you will change your brand of chewing gum, I'll take off this hat I'm getting tired of that wintergreen fragrance. " Chicago Trib une. . - '. Doings of the City Council. All tho councilraen were present at the regular meeting last evening. After disposing of the minutes of the previous regular and special sessions.a number of accounts against the city were referred to the finance commit tee without reading. A petition, signed by several tax payers, asking that somo grading bo done on Eighth street, between Gold and Silver, was,on motion of Farmele, referred to the committee on streets, alleys and bridges, with power to act. The council then confirmed tho ap pointment of W. C. Tippens as fore man of the White hose cart. The police judge's report for June, showing seven arrests, one commit ment, one fine suspended, one secured and $10 collected, was next road. Sattler moved that same be referred to tho police committee. Carried. The city marshal's report corres ponded with the above, and was also referred to the police committee.

The judiciary committee presented an ordinance prohibiting1 bathing in tho Platte river, opwsite the water works pump house, nnd aiso in the nasins of that coirpany. The ordi nance makes an offense of this nature punishable by a fine of from $2 to $.". On motion of Whito the rules were suspended and the ordinance was given its second and third reading by title and passed. The clerk then re:id the board of health ordinance, which had been slightly changed, and it was referred to the judiciary committee. Tho annual appropriation bill or ordinance, which makes a total levy of 4i mills on all city property, was read. White moved that the rules bo suspended and tho ordinance passed. Carried. Quito a number of accounts woie re ferred to the claims committee. Among them were several claims for $2.50 each for services as nozzlcmen at tho Wright lire. White stated thai the water had been turned on after tho fire was out, for the purpose of getting foes allowed by the citj-. The report of tho finance committee was adopted. The claims committee recommended as follows. Claims of Jno. Fitzp.-itrick and V. J. Hansen for $1(1 for extra work, rejected; Evening News, printing, $5, allowed; Chas. Grimes, compiling ordinance books, $125, al lowed. On motion of White the re port was adopted and the clerk in structed to issue warrants for the above amounts. Slater moved that Officers Fitpat- nck and Hansen bo allowed $o per month, boginning May 1, for thoir services in looking after street work. Carried. Barwick, of tho fire .and water com- mittco, to whom had boen referred tho rulesand regulations of the fire depart ment, recommended the council's ap proval of tho same. The report was adopted. Sattler moved that tho Gas and Lighting company be notified to re move the lamps from the posts, which had been placed there, ponding tho repairs on the electric dynamo. The motion prevailed. The special committee appointed to examine tho assessors' books of tho city reported great inequality in tho assessments, but, on account of tho limited time, decided not to interfere this year. The committee suggested that letters bo sent to tho mayor and council of every city of the second class in the slate, asking the next legislature to adopt a law allowing one assessor to make tho assessments in cities of tho second cla?js,,with the privilege of appointing deputies. The "dads" approved of the sug gestions made in the report, nnd the mayor appointed Parinelo, Cummins and White to look up tho matter. D. B.

Briggs, chairman of the county central com mittee of the people's independent party, rapped for order and stated tho business for which the convention was called, and stating also that the first thing in order would be the election of temporary officers. Tho names of L G. Todd and J. P. Rouse wero pre sented for temporary chairman. The ballot resulted in tho choice of L. G. Todd by a vote of 75 to 21, it being a tost voto in showing preference for W. J. Bryan for a presidential candidate. Robert J. Vass was chosen . tem porary secretary by acclamation. Chairman Todd responded in a long anC spirited address. The committee on credentials, con sisting of M. S. Briggs, John Burke, D. McCaig and J P. Rouse was then appointed and Henry Hem pel, B. F. Allen, W. Waugh, James Claikand George Shrader were appointed a committee on resolutions. It being noon a recess was taken until 1 o'clock at which time the committee on cre dentials made their report and J. P. Rouse was elected permanent chair man. Ho thanked the delegates for the honor conferred iu a neat and son sible speech. S. N. Berger was elected permanent secretary. While waiting for the committee on resolutions G.S. Upton and George W. Brewster, two candidates for nomina tion for congress, each made extended addresses, which were heartily en cored. The committee on resolutions was then announced as being ready to re port, which recommended thenomiua tioii of W. J. Bryan for president at St. Louis and endorsing the adminis tration of Governor Ilolcomb, and en dorsing direct legislation. Tho clause relating to the nomination of Bryan precipitated a heated and prolonged discussion, during which, at times, the uproar was so great that the very house seemed likely to fall. There were dozens of delegates upon their feet at a time some trying to gain recognition from the chair, others calling for points of order, while still others wero moving to lay the resolu tion on tho table, etc. Finally a vote was taken which resulted in the adop tion of the resolution by a slight ma jority. W. Waugh then wanted to introduce a platform from a paper which he pro duced, but motion prevailed with the nomination of delegates to the various state and district conventions. Mr. Waugh's name was proposed, but he said he could not bo persuaded to go on tho delegation under the circum stances. The delegates finally se lected were as follows: State conven tion.
