rconnEsroxD-cE or toe Disr-ATcn.i
Washington, February 3. Mr. George
C. Boldt, who has been selected by the In
augural Committee to serve the supper at
the inaugural ball, was in town the other
day making arrangements for his tasK, which
is simply a herculean one. He may have to
serve supper for 5,000 people, and perhaps
for 15.000 people. The difficulties of his
undertaking are self-evident. Mr. Boldt
has made name and fame as the proprietor
of the Hotel Bellcvue, in Philadelphia,
where, for the past six years, the dinners of
the Clover Club have been held. He is to
Philadelphia what Deltnonico is to Ncw
York, and the Inaugural Committee feel
that the feast end of the great quadrennial
ball could not have been placed in better
hands.
Some of the most unique and brilliant
dinners ever given In this or any other
country have been given at the quiet and
petite Hotel Bellevue. Boldt is an artist
as well as an epicure, and he haB developed
some exquisite artistic and material ef
fects. "Perhaps the costliest dinner I ever
served," he said to me, "was the one given
to Franklin B. Gowan, in February, 1882,
by the railroad presidents of if ew York and
Philadelphia. 3Ir. Gowan was then the
President of the Heading Railroad. Mr.
"W. H. Tanderbilt was one of the 30 guests,
I remember. The name of Mr. Gowan,
lormed of Jacqueminot rosebuds, appeared
on the wall of the room in letters 10 inches
high. Ked-birds were served which had
been kept on ice for ten months, and the
Roman punch was brought to the table in the
tenders of miniature railway trains, ond of
which was placed before each guest. The
tiny trains were set upon steel rails, and the
engine and cars bore the initials of the
Beading Railroad. The dinner cost $50 a
cover.
"In that same year Mr. Clarence Lewis
gave a dinner in honor of Miss Agnes Rob
erts, the niece of the President of the Penn
sylvania Railroad. A dozen of the season's
debutantes were present, and I was bidden
to produce some quietly startling effects.
This is what I did: The dinner was seved
in a corner of the larce ballroom. The table
was snrrounded by Japanese screens six
feet high. The center ornament of the table
was an enormous ball of violets. The mo
ment the Sevris coffee-cups were placed on
the table a spring was touched. The ball
of violets fell apart, exposing a great bunch
of La France roses a ball favor to the
guest of honor. In another moment the
screens were whisked away; a score of cages
containing chirping canary birds were
seen hanging from the ceiling; music came
from a hidden orchestra, and the ballroom
was at the disposal of the dancers. All of
this was brought about in an instant. The
effect was charming and the guests were de
lighted. "What had been a cozy diniugroom
a moment before was changed into a large
ballroom without the slightest confusion or
noise. The accomplishment of this was a
bit theatric, perhaps, but it was very effec
tive. "In October. 1881, Mr. Clarence H. Moore
gave a dinner of 15 covers to Mrs. Richard
son, of London, formerly of Philadelphia.
The table was strewn w ith antumn leaves
and chestnut burrs. A different set of
elaborately decorated plates was lurnished
for each course and each plate was an art
study. The favors for the ladies were solid
silver card cases with the monogram of the
recipient engraved on one side and the menu
and date on the other. Jeweled scarf pins
were given to the men. The dinner cost
over S100 for each person.
"Mr. Rodman "Wanamaker, in October.
1888, gave an ante-wedaing dinner to 18
men. The table was set in a grape arbor in
the middle of the largest room in the hotel.
Two hundred and fifty pounds of grapes
were suspended from natural vines. The
apartment was illuminated by hundreds of
tiny fairy lamps. There was no other light
in the room. Large trees were placed
against the wall of the room as though
growing there. Graveled, serpentine walks,
strewed with leaves, led from the central ar
bor throughout the room. Miniature sum
mer houses abounded, and in another arbor
the orchestra was concealed. The result was
perfect. All the effect of a dinner in a pri
vate vineyard was produced.
Mr. Boldt has given several "Greek"
dinners. The prandial customs of the an
cients are followed as closely as comfort and
convenience will permit. The room is hung
with garlands and over the table wreaths
and garlands are carelessly thrown. Rugs
are hung on the walls. Silver tankards take
the place of glasses. The men must wear a
laurel wreath and a muslin robe. A boar's
head cdorns the center of the table. Roast
kid, served whole, is one of the features,
and dates and powdered nuts form the de
sert. The menu is printed in Greek as well
as English.
Silk and plush table decoration was first
introduced in this country by Mr. Boldt. In
referring to dressing a table, he said:
"I look upon the table as Worth looks
upon his subject. I throw a lot of silk or
other material on it, adjust or crease it until
I am satisfied. I pin a bit of ribbon at one
point, a silken bow at another; throw a
flower here, a leaf there until an artistic and
happy result is attained. I sit up nights
striving for new ideas."
Mr. Boldt's collection of china is a very
rare and valuable one. The most notable
portion of it is the "Crown Head" set of
dinner plates. It was painted on his order
by Dessard at the Royal Sevres factory,
Paris. Each of the 18 plates contains a
perfect portrait of a king, queen, prince or
princess, and the cost of each plate was the
modest sum of ?S7. They have been used
on but four occasions. The first was the
Moore dinner; second, the "Wanamaker en
tertainment; third, a luncheon given to
Mrs. "W. "W. Astor, and fourth, for the
luncheon given by Mr. George "W. Childs
to Mrs. Cleveland while she was in Phila
delphia attending the Constitutional Cen
tennial Celebration. They are works of art,
and the envy of every lover of ceramics.
The Southern members of Congress are
notably poor. All of them, to be sure, are
not guilty of that greatest of faults (as it is
regarded in Washington), but it is the rule
rather than the exception. A story is told
of a well-known Senator from a Southern
State which is based on this peculiarity.
The Senator was poor so poor that he found
great difficulty getting through his canvass.
In his extremity he did not hesitate to bor
row a few hundred dollars here and there,
probably consoling his conscience with the
thought that he was going to Congress not
so much for his own good as for the good
of the State and her people. One of the
constituents of whom he solicited and ob
tained a small loan was a farmer not over
burdened with this world's goods himself.
Of him the Senator obtained $200. He did
not think of repaying it and the lender did
not think of asking tor it.
One day, a year or more after the election,
the farmer's wife found that the store of
money was running low. The crops had
been Lad and the expenses of the lamily
heavy. She suggested to her husband that
be apply to Senator for the little loan
made at the time of the election. The far
mer wrote but he received no reply. He
wrote again and received a, short note telling
him that the Senator was so engrossed with
public duties that he could not attend to the
matter immediately. At length, becoming
a little aggravated and being moved to ac
tion by the urging of his wife, he determined
to come to Washington. He came, and
shortly after his coming he called upon the
Senator. He was received in the most ef
fusive manner. The Senator was delighted
to see his old friend. Other Senators were
passing through the corridors of the Capitol
at the time thev met. The Senator 3topped
them. "You must know my old friend,"
he said to them and introduced them to him,
one after another. The next day he took
his friend to see the President; took him
through the Departments and showed him
the most profuse, though inexpensive, at
tention. It was four days after his depart
ure for the Capitol that the farmer returned
to his home. His wife greeted him with
open arm. "Did you see Senator ?"
she asked.
"See him?" said the husband. "See him?
Whv, he took me all over Washington. He
is the finest man in the country. He took
me up to the White House, wife, and in
troduced me to President Cleveland. He
took me everywhere."
The eulogy continued for a long time.
When it was concluded, the wife said:
"But, John, did you get the 200?"
The question seemed to embarrass her hus
band a little. "To tell you the truth.'Man
dy," he said, "I didn't. To tell you the
truth, I loaned the Senator another 5200."
Colonel Bill Morrison tells a good story
at his own expense. He has a red-haired
brother living in Illinois whoso custom it
is, when occasion serves, to take his gun
and go in pursuit of the wary duck. While
he and a companion were on an excursion
thev were noticed bv two Germans. One
of them said to the other: "You see dot fel
low? Dot's Bill Morrison's brother."
"Ish dot so?" said the other, and he re
garded Mr. Morrison with some interest.
In a few minutes a duck flew up and both
of the sportsmen shot at it It fell and Mr.
Morrison said that he had shot it about
eight feet from the ground and that it had
been killed bv his bullet. His companion
insisted that it was his shot that had brought
down the game and that it was 30 feet from
the ground when it was hit. After a few
minutes of argument, they started after the
duck and as they returned Mr. Morrison
had it in his hand. But he still argued in
a rather violent manner that the duck was
but eight from the ground when it was shot
and that his bullet had brought it down.
The second German thereupon spoke to the
first. "You say dot's Bill Morrison's
bruder?" he aske'd.
"Yes, dot's him," was the replv.
"Xo, it isn't," said the other. "If dot
was Bill Morrison's bruder he don't give a
tarn whether dot duck been tree feet or tirty
feet from de ground so long he got de
duck."
Not long ago the Hon. Matthew Stanley
Quay started for Florida. Before his depart
ure he gave the two press associations a
formal notification that he would oppose the
appointment to office of any one who ap
plied to him for an indorsement before
March 4. The reason for the announcement
is lo be found in the enormous proportions
that Senator Quay's mail was begluning to
assume before he went away. He was re
ceiving at the time he left Washington
about 100 letters a day, written by office
seekers. They came from every part of the
Union. He received one from Oregon the
day before his departure addressed to "The
Hon. Senator Colonel Matthew Quay, Esq."
It was written by an entire stranger. That
capped the climax. He issned his pronun
ciamento on that. His mail has not sensi
bly diminished, but his announcement will
give him excellent excuse hereafter for get
ting rid of bores and those to whom he owes
nothing, and will not prevent him attend
ing to his friends. O'Bbien-Bain.
THE FERGUSON OBSEQUIES.
Impressive Services in Commemoration of
a Life Tlint YVn Lovely and Klch In
Worlliv Promlnc.
Grace Episcopal Church, Mount Wash
ington, was filled in pew and aisle yesterday
afternoon by friends come to pay the last
token of respect over the mortal remains of
Miss Edith K. Ferguson, the artist. The
casket was almost hidden beneath a wealth of
the flowers her pencil had been wont to portray
so faithtnlly. In a few touching words the
rector, Rev. R. J. Coster, paid rich tribute to
the young life whose large attainment and
greater promise, artistic, literary, womanly,
makes Its untimely end all the sadder. Equally
touching was the beautiful hymn, "Rock
of Ages," as sung by Miss Belle
Tomer, Mrs. C. II. Humbert, Messrs.
F. J. Bnssman, E. H. Dermitt and W. A. Mc
Cutchcon, accompanied by the organist, Mr.
Melville Stunt. Mrs. Humbert also sang a
pathetic solo selection. The pall bearers were
Messrs. John Hammer, II. S. Stevenson, E. W.
and A. Y. Smith, Chris Metsinger and C. W.
Scovel. After the impressive services were
concluded, the family and immediate friends
followed their beloved dead to her filial resting
place in Allegheny Cemetery.
Thu descended the curtain upon a life
drama which, though so brief, was of more
than ordinary interest
Edith Ferguson was not one to hide her tal
ents In a napkin. Thouch her true, womanlr
heart was
thoroughly responsive to the love
and comfort of the home circle, her earnest na
ture early impelled her to devote herself to a
serious life work in the art for which nature
had so richly endowed her. After graduating
with highest honors at the Pittsburg School of
Design, she spent some three years at the En
ropean art centers, making a special study of
Spanish life and art in Seville. Returning to
Pittsburg, she entered upon an active profess
sionallifc, wbi:h, in spite of her modest and re
tiring disposition, had already won high
meed of success. She soon was chosen
for the faculty of her alma mater
the School of Design, and the pretty little
studio she built by her MC Washington home
becaino well known in widening circles
as a source of dainty, artistic crea
tions. Her special talent was for illustra
tion in water color; editions de luxe of
choice poems may be found in some of Pitts-
Durg s most luxurious parlors attesting tho
originality of design, the skill in execution and
the rare poetic appreciation she brought to this
uraucii ui an.
Nor were Miss Ferguson's talents confined to
pictorial art alone; she could drop the pencil
and wield the pen instead, with uncommon
skill. Under the nom de plume of
"Edna Fletcher" she has from time to
time contributed to The Dispatch bright,
thoughtful letters upon life and nature as seen
in her artistic rambungs, besides an occasional
modest bit of verse with the true ring in it.
These special talents, through which Edith
Ferguson touched the world at large, were set
in the pure gold of a nobly rounded character
and enhanced by many graces of mind and
heart, which she freely devoted to those who
knew her best and who mourn her most.

The Strange Career and Remarkable
Inventions of a Convict
OF A SCIENTIFIC TURN OF MIND,
Whose Ingenuity Enabled Him to Escape
Many Times Prom Jail,
BUT DEPEAVITT DE0YE HIM BACK
Whether Mr. Gerry's bill to provide
death-dealing electrical apparatus for the
State prisons passes or fails, Warden Dur
ston, of Auburn need not fear that he will
be left without means of executing con
demned criminals in accordance with the
law which took effect on January 1. He
has in his custody an inventor whose re
sources and talents will surely relieve him
from any anxiety on that score.
Clarence F. Tiear, who rejoices in the
occasional possession of several other names,
and a physique so diminutive as to permit
of his crawling through a very small hole,
has been for a quarter of a century astonish
ing prison officials with practical inventions
and ingenious escapes. His last claim to
celebrity comej under the former head, and
is founded upon an electrical medical and
surgical cabinet which has just been placed
in the prison hospital. Dr. Sawyer, the
physician of the institution, pronounces it
a valuable apparatus, and says it is com
plete in every respect. The entire outfit is
of the finest workmanship, and is contained
in a polished walnut cabinet. One of the
appurtenances is a gastroscope, with an
electric light for internal examinations.
There is also a laryngoscope and a cautery
handle, besides numerous other devices
useful iu the multiplicity of medical opera
tions now carried on by the aid of electricity.
Batteries for galvanic and faradic currents,
or both sombined, are provided, and the
black walnut case is really an example of
multum in parvo. It would not be sur
prising to hear that Tiear had designs for an
electrical chair which would meet approval.
AN IHTEllESTING CITAEACTER.
The reason for the free sway that is given
to the little convict's invention by the
prison authorities is found in his propensity
for escaping when he has nothing else to do.
He has been known to resign a steady job
in the machine shops of the departed con
tract system for a precarious existence out
side, but as a general rule it has been en
forced idleness which has driven him out to
seek employment Such is the desire for
his company, however, that he has an apart
ment near the headquarters of the guard,
and receives every attention from his
guardians. His mind is diverted in various
ways from the thought that a small hole
drilled out of an iron door, a few keys, a
ladder, and a rope might be the means of
carrying him to other menus.
Mr. Tiear's character is not devoid of
humor. It is related of him that on one oc
casion he made a midnight tour through
portions of Wayne and Oswego counties
with a load of recently acquired furniture,
which he distributed piecemeal at stated in
tervals. The horses and wagon, also fresh
acquisitions, were disposed ot to confiding
purchasers.
It wns in 1862 that Tiear, as a boy of 12
years, entered the Western House of Kefuge
at Rochester. He is not much bigger now
than he was when he attained distinction
among the bad boys of Clyde. The Eefuge
lite was not to his liking, and, observing
that the dinners of the workmen employed
in the erection of a new buildings were
brought in, he one day picked up a dinner
pail and walked out with the free children
after the dinner hour. Ilis father brought
him back a week afterward. The youthful
Jack Shepard "hid out" several times, but
did not get away until regularly discharged
on July 29, 1804. He returned within a
year under sentence for larceny, and be
haved so well that his father, upon remov
ing to Iowa two years later, secured his re
lease. A few months later he forsook the
Western farm, and shortly appeared at
Monroe County Penitentiary under -sentence
of three years for robbing freight cars.
Being occasionally sent on errands to a cel
lar commuicatingVith an outer court yard.
he improved the opportunity given to file
off the lock. Donning a workman's over
alls and throwing an iron pulley on his
shoulder, he represented himseif as a work
man from a citv machine shop.
A CHECKERED CAREER.
Me walked to Kochester with a prison
foreman who happened to be going the same
way. When they separated he threw the
pulley away. Six months later, in Novem
ber, 1868, Oswego county sent him to the
Eeluge under the name of Charles Keith.
He had risen to the dignity of a store bur
glar. Recognition by a fellow prisoner led
to his serving out his unfinished term in the
penitentiary. Then he returned to the
village of Mexico, robbed the same store,
was arrested, and again entered Oswego
jail. He escaped, was recaptured, and
would have escaped the second time but for
timely discovery. Then he set the jail on
fire, and tried to run out during the confu
sion. The jailor's wife, for whom he was
only a good-sized handful, niade this at
tempt a failure. A fourth trial proved suc
cessful, and "Slippery Charley" returned to
business outside.
Tiear was always as successful in getting
into jail as in getting out, and was next ar
rested in Lockport for stealing a horse in
Buffalo. On account of his vouth and ap
parent innocence ho got off with n light sen-
icuuc iu iuc xjuu vrvuiuv .iremicnuary.
There he broke out of his cell and assaulted
a watchman. He was sentenced to five
years in Auburn for this, but parted com
pany with the Sheriffat Cauandaigua, leav
ing that officer without ceremony. Trans
ferring his attentions to Cayuga county
horseflesh, he was lodged in the Auburn
jail, from which he made two ineffectual at
tempts to escape. In March, 1880, Judge
Day sentenced him to ten years in Auburn
prison, which he is engaged in serving.
In November, 1882, Tiear drilled a square
plate out of his cell door in the north wing,
and was found at midnight picking the
lock of the messroom door in the south
wing. The lock was "mixed," and it was
necessary to cut it off before breakfast was
served. Principal Keeper Boyle, who has
great confidence in Tiear's abilityjgave him
the lock, and the convict finished the pick
ing operation in a twinkling.
On February 16, 1884, Tiear achieved his
greatest feat in escaping, although three
days elapsed before he lett the prison. He
got a year of liberty by it. Committingsome
offense which would insure his confinement
in the "jail," he was searched for tools and
then left in solitary confinement. The jail
is visited only at long intervals by the
guards and by waiters with bread and
water. Although stripped and put into a
frush suit of clothes, Tiear managed to
secrete saws upon his person. By the second
night he had a hole in his door big enough
to let him out into the corridor.
BACK TO THE BASTILE.
When the cnards came in to look at him
he hid in a corner and stole out behind
them. By the time they had reached his
cell be had a good start down the prison
yard. Badly aimed shots were firea, and
one benumbed his right arm. Placing a
jaaaer against ine wan ne ma. The wall
was double guarded, but after the first night
the guard was withdrawn. Tiear said after
ward that his injured arm prevented his go
ing over until three nights after. The lad
der again against the wall and a rope on the
outside showed the officers how he had
fooled them. Prior to leaving Tiear robbed
a prison contractor's office and safe, and
stole a suit of clothing left hanging in a
shop by a foreman.
After this Tiear found employment among
the skilled machinists of the Remington
Works at Ilion. When he left Ilion he
took with him a friend's wife and enough
furniture no begin housekeeping in Syracuse.
In February, 1884, a Syracuse detective
recognizefl him and chased him. Tiear and
the detective exchanged .shots, but the little
Jack Sbeppard was at last run down in
Senator Hiscock's grounds.
On June 22, 1887, Tiear "stowed away."
Double guards patrolled the yard and walls
for three nights. The inclosure was indus
triously searched for two days. On the
third day (Sunday) the entire force of offi
cers had jnst been detailed for what is
known as the "general search," when Tiear,
dusty, thirsty and hungry, rapped at the
door of the keeper's hail. He said he knew
he would be found, and didn't want to
cause any more trouble. He was gladly
welcomed, but was sent to the jail just the
same. He is still inside, and when his sen
tence expires officers who have warrants for
him will meet him at the prison gate.
Among Tiear's inventions is a combina
tion lock which he defies anyone to pick,
and which he couldn't pick himself without
the combination; an electrical burglar
alarm, which he knows how to circumvent,
and a delicate instrument, for examination
of cases of heart disease. iVTeto York Sun.
