The musical program was thoroughly enjoyed, and many encores were given. Miss Shinn, Miss Goddard and Miss Mary Page sang solos, and Miss Frazee played a piano solo. Mr. Tracy gave sev- eral numbers on the cornet. A well-render- ed trio was that by Miss Katie Lay Howe, banjo; Little Marie Howe, piano, and Mr. Frank T. Howe, jr., mandolin. There was a piano and violin duet by Prof. Burg and Herbert Baumer. The Gonzaga College Cadets gave an interesting drill on the lawn. There is no doubt that « large sum was realized. Mr. George E. T. Miller is ill with typhoid fever at his home on the Sargent road. ‘The funeral of Mr. Lewis E. Means, who died Saturday night at the Garfield’ Hos- pital, took place today.

Richardson, secretary. A plat, of the survey for the proposed system of water- works, recently made by a hydraulic en- gineer from Baltimore, was examined, and gave general satisfaction. Tre engineer was invited to meet the association and citizens of the town, and explain his plan for estabiishing the waterworks. The en- Bineer recommended {in lis report the building of a reservoir on the hill opposite the residence of Dr. Owens, for supply- ing the town with water. A committee, consisting of Messrs. Carr and Richardson, ‘was appointed to take charge of the mat- ter. ‘The association decided to give an entertainment for the purpose of raising the means for paying for one-haif the cost of improvements to he made cn Ravenswood avenue, and a cummittee con- sisting of Messrs. Emmons, Carr and Rich- ardson was appointed to wait upon the commissioners in regard to these improve- ments. The association was of the opin- fon that the clause in the charter requiring abutting property owners to pay for two- thirds of the cost of street improvements should be changed, so as to provide for an assessment to he levied against the Property on either side of the street upon which the improvement is made. At pres- ent this charge Is only made on the side - of the street upon which the sidewalk is laid.

It is a continued story of which all but the last chapter is printed, and then guesses are made as to the solution, then the final irstallment is printed. On October seventh a most interesting mystery story, “When the War Was Over,” will be started in The Star, and five hundred dollars will be given for the first absolutely cerrect solution.

The proceedir gs of the summer school at Harvard afford a certain amount of amus: nt even to the professors and instruct- ers. It is said that the sessions have at- tracted some very independent as well as gifted young women from a distance. y one of the instructors informed his chiefly composed of women, that a ly theme would be required to give fa- 4ity in composition. This seemed to sur- prise one of the young ladies, who went to the instructor after the session was over, in the presence of others, and said, archly and coquettishly, “And what will you do to us if we do not prepare any theme?” “We ds ne the professor answered, gravely, “employ any form of corporal punishment.” GULF STREAM CHART How Many Americans Know That Ben Franklin Made It? How His Researches in This Direction Aided the Colonists at the Begin- ning of the Revolution. From the Boston Pilot. It is remarkable that there is not in ex- istence a biography of Benjamin Franklin which gives a complete account of the in- ventions and scientific discoveries made by the versatile genius who is rightly called “the brains of the American revolution.” Great as was Franklin as a diplomat and statesman, he was greater as a scientist in the domain of physics, wherein he planted seeds which bore fruit in his own time, and again in our generation. His pet study, electricity, which in, the eighteenth century was a diversion of schoolmen, has become a gigantic industry, affcrding employment for nearly 2,000,000 persons in the civilized parts of the earth. To Franklin are we indebted for many things which remained fallow in the science of electricity, until Davy, Faraday, Edison, Brush, Thomson and Tesla began to pick up the threads which Franklin left in Lloom of life, when he was summoned from earth. Within two years an expensive liti- gation between two joint stock companies concerning the right to use a certain sub- marine electric machine for blowing up ledges and sunken wrecks was brought to an end when evidence was introduced show- ing that Franklin used similar apparatus in .the Delaware river in 1787. Many of his inventions have been patent- ed over and over again in our patent office, where articles in daily use by the cave dwellers may be patented by any_ person foolish enough to corsider a United States patent of any value, and who does not know that the 400 patents taken out by Edison have been “pirated” under the pro- tection of United States laws, which are apparently made for the profit of infringers of patents and for the bankrupting of in- ventors. Franklin's electrical inventions number eighteen, all made when his intel- lectual faculties were brightest. ~ He Made a Chart. Next to electrical matters, in his own estimation of the value of his inventions and discoveries, he placed his wonderful acute study of the gulf stream, of which he -made the first chart in 1770, from data ob- tained from his mother’s brother, Capt. Fclger, a master mariner of the Island of Nantucket, Mass., who for many years sailed in the whaling trade, and observed that the Baloena mysticetus, commonly krown as the right whale, never entered the warm waters of the gulf stream, but swam along the edges of the stream seeking for food. Folger kept accounts of all whales seen by him along the course of the stream frem 1754 to 1766, and from these logs Franklin gathered sufficient knowledge of the stream to make a chart, which in great part is used by cartographers of today. Several corrections have ben added thereto by Lieut. Maury, U. S. N., who devoted a Ufetime of study to the gulf stream and Japan currents. The attention of Franklin was drawn for the first time to the wonderful stream by a memorial which the board of customs at Boston, Mass., had sent to the lords of the treasury, stating that the royal pacset ships which conveyed passengers, !etters and merchandise between Falmouth,- Eng- land, and Boston, Mass., were generally fifteen to twenty-five days longer making the voyhge than the American-manned common merchant vessels which® plied from London to Boston. This difference in transatlantic crossings was referred to Franklin. He, in turn, consulted Capt. Folger, who said that the American sea captains were acquainted with the gulf stream, while those of the English packet service were not; so it was that by cross- ing the stream the heavy and deeply laden American ships made short voyages, and the royal packet ships of light build and with a great spread of sails kept in the gulf stream, and were set back from sixty to eighty miles every nautical day. Frank- lin made a chart, had it engraved,’ and presented a copy_thercof to the lords of the treasury, a fine set of fossilized numb- skulls, who never sa much as thanked the learned Bostonian for his pains. Its Practical Value. The packet captains pooh-poohed at Franklin's theories of the speed of the gulf stream, and ccntinued to make slow voyages, while the American ships kept on making fast-crossings, bringing in ad- vance of the royal mail intelligence of what was going on among the counsellors of King George many Gays before the gov- ernors of the colony received official intel- ligence. | So much for the work of Franklin in showing mariners how to traverse the great ocean river which alone makes the British Isles habitable, and which clothes Ireland in a mantle of ever-green grass, while Labrador, in the, very same latitude, is bound in the icy fetters of arc- tic winter. If the Isthmus of Panama should subside two hundred feet or more, and such subsidences have taken place in geological times all over the world, the equatorial current of the Atlantic would flow into the Pacific, and England, Scot- land, Ireland and part of France would then hecome like Lebrador. In the whole world there is not so ma- jestic a fiow of water as the gulf stream, the headwaters of which are in the Gulf cf Mexico. Thence it flows northeast- erly along the shores of the United States to the banks of Newfoundland; then it Tushes across the Atlantic ocean to the British Isles, where it is divided into two currents—one flowing norfnward to the Arctic ocean, the cther southward to the Azores. The velocity of the stream is more rapid than that of the Mississippi at New Orleans or the Amazon at 100 miles above its mouth. Although its bed and banks are cold water, yet the str2am is very warm, and so great is the absence of affinity between these waters, so reluctant are they to mingle with each other, that their lihe of junction is distinctly visible to the eye; one-half of a ship may be fre- quently perceived floating in the cold ocean, the other half in the warm and ce- rulean water of the gulf stream. Why the Heat is Retained The waters of this wonderful stream do not, in any part of their course, touch the bottom of the sea. They are defended at bottom and sides by what, in expressive language, we may term a trough of cold water, one of the best non-conductors. Consequently, very little heat is lost, and the warm water is carviel thousands of miles, only losing four degrees of heat on the journey from the Gulf of Mexico to the British Isles. On a winter's day, say any time from December 15 to February 15, the temperature of the gulf stream at Cape Hatteras, on the coast of North Carolina, is from thirty to forty degrees higher than the water of the ocean. With this temper- ature it crosses the fortieth degree of north latitude, ard thera, overflowing its liquid banks, spreads itself out for thousands of square miles over the cold waters of north- ern seas, dispensing its genial Influence wheresoever it goes, lika the soft south- ern winds and tie blessed sunlight, which the Lord of the harv sends to the sow- ers of tbe earth. While the gulf stream is ripening the harvests of Great Britain, Jrelind and France, its influence is equally beneficial ix the western wor The Caribbean sea and Gulf of Mexico are encompassed on one side by the chatn of West India Is- lands, and on the « by the Cord'licras of the Andes, contracting with the Isth- mus of Darien. and expanding over the plains of Central America and Mexico. On the extreme summits of the long chain of South Amerieaa mountains are the re- gions of snow, Next in descent is the tem- Ferate region, and lower Il is ¢ Uerra caliente, or burning lands, where 13 tho hottest,and most pestilential country in the new world.

As in a hot-water house- heating apparatus the water travels up- ward through coils of radiating pipes to the highest point of the system, and then losing heat Jeszends tnrough the return pipes to the boiler for reheating, so one part of the waters of the gulf stream, after, giving out their heat, flow toward the equatorial current, the othe> io the polar basin of Spitzbergen; from the northward of that region a return current seis in through Davis Straits and meets the gulf stream at the banks of Newfoundland.

S From the Denver ican. : When the Union Pacific and Gulf passen- ger officials were arranging their last “ercund the horn” excursion of the season two weeks ago ‘thd ‘people of Loveland asked that an extended stop be arranged for the train at their town. It is the cus- tom in these excursions to make stops at several towns en route, generally of thirty minutes each. Loyeland wanted an hour end a half this time, and promised to take care of the excursionists every one of the ninety minutes.they would be in town. Yesterday the last “around the horn” eacursion went out, and, as was predicted, because of the contemplated treat at Love- land, it was a tremendous one. The train was scheduled to leave the union depot at 8:45, but at that time and for fifteen min- utes later the ticket clerks at the depot office were selling tickets so fast their date punches fattled away like typewriters. It was after 9 o'clock before the crowd could be ticketed, and away went the train for the excursion. At 1 o'clock Loveland was reached. It e’| ¥48 about 11 o'clock, so Conductor Harry Dickson declared, that the people on his trsin began scenting roasting ears. All marner of extravagant ideas were con- tempiated as to what would be in store when the train reached Loveland. Ex- travagant as they were, none of them were shcrt of realization. ‘The peuple of that town had gone to no end of trouble. With- in a hundred yards of the depot, in the shade of long rowseof cottonwood trees, tables had been constructed, and along these were arrayed great heaps of eatables. Apples there were in abundance, besides cther fruits; there seemed to be no limit to the sandwiches, and cleariy the pro- fessional carver, whose proud boast it Is tkat he can cover an acre of ground with a ham, had no part or parcel in preparing these sandwiches. Coffee had been prom- ised before the train started, and coffee there was, but never a word had been said about lemorade, fresh milk and butter- milk as is buttermilk, yet there were tubs and whole dairy wagon loads of all of them. ‘Then there was the corn pit. Everybody knows what roasting ears are, or at least think they do. Once there was a little girl who, as she regarded a half acre of peas growing, asked in all sincerity when the cans and bright green labels would grow on them. She was about as near the exact condition of things as some of those 650 Denver people yesterday concerning roast- ing ears. The popular idea of a roasting ear of corn is one boiled. Nothing of the scrt. A roasting ear is a roasting ear, as anybody about Loveland can tell, and there are men there who know how to roast them quite as well as a Missourian knows how to barbecue a side of beef. The Loveland corn was all roasted in a pit. A deep pit was, dug and lined. Into this were thrown ears of young corn en- cased in the husk. When enough-had been 4) put in the pit, and the impression of the liberal folk of Loveland was that each Denver man was good for a dozen ears or mere, cool ashes were put over the whole, tren warmer ashes, until there was a regu- lar fire burning on top. By keeping this fire going the corn was roasted, and by the time the-excursion tfain was to reach the place the bottom ears were done to a turn. It was worth going to Loveland to see the pit and the way the corn was handled. It was the sight! of'~ lifetime to see an able-bodied man get:into the pit with a four-tine pitchfork, apd begin, hoisting ‘the roasted ears. Atfen lants stood near with buckets to receivt the corn, and these dis- tributed them to thé excursionists.. Fach ear had its quota of wood ashes on it, but by the exercise of a!little‘care ‘thé husks were removed and ‘the rich brown kernels brought to light. imc” There are several whys of-eating roasting ears, most of which, however, are to grasp hold of either end:of the ear and set the incl- sors to work. There are other ways, but the excursionists voted this was the proper one, and,for fifteen mistutes over the'allétted ‘time in town they1egated themselves dh the Boun- teous feast the Lovetanders had provided. ERNE Oty aE A CHURCH! CONTRIBUTION. Unique Method In Which the Minister Obtained It. From the San Francisco Post. “Father Maloney was one of the best known and best loved men in Nevada,” re- marked an old mining man, ashe grew reminiscent over a small bottle, “and I am sure he did as much for the church as any two men In the state. When Father Ma- loney solicited subscriptions for a new church, men who never gave before dug down deep into their pockets and donated with an appearance of cheerfulness that was surprising. One day he walked into a saloon where a big poker game was run- ning. He watched the play till he could speak without Interrupting, and then said: “Gentlemen, we are trying to get money enough to build.@ new church here. Do any of you feel disposed ‘to help us out?’ “A big, taw-boned fellow, who had been losing steadily and ,was consequently in no pleasant mood, growled: “T'll rastle you for $40.” “Without a word Father Maloney pro- duced the amount and laid it on the bar. The gambler looked surprised and hesi- tated, but when the other players com- menced to jeer him he got up and covered ‘the priest’s wager. They pulled off their coats and squared off. Father Maloney commenced playing for an opening in a manner that showed he was no stranger to the sport. “The big fellow made a rush and threw out a long arm to clinch his opponent around the neck. Quick as a flash Father Maloney grabbed his wrist ‘with both hands, turned and threw the big fellow clear over his shoulder. He struck flat on his back with a crash that made the glass ware be- hind the bar rattle and jump. Father Ma- loney quietly donned his clerical coat, pocketed the stakes and watched the big fellow pick himself up painfully. “My friends,’ said he, ‘I would have been very thankful for $10. I had to be a little undignified, but I have made $40 for the church.’”” —ses A Mental Stimulus. The first installment of the great mys- tery story, “When the War Was Over,” by Frederick R.

Instcad of Licking the Hotel Clerk the Guest Paid Him in His Own Coin. From the New York Tribune, Behind the onyx desk of a modern hotel in the Tenderloin a clerk is employed who is a remarkable exponent of the up-to-date young man wko makes fun for others, and thinks that his wit is invincible. He met his Waterloo recently, and now he is one of the meekest men that shout “Front!” It was early in the evening. The electric Lghts had just begun to blaze with an air of assurance. The music floating down from the dining room fell with a dreamy cedence upen the ears of the guests who were chatting in the corridors after dinner. Suddenly a man broke away from a group ard stepped up to the desk. He was the lest one that a shrewd observer would have picked ut for an “easy mark,” to use the Xernacular, but the clerk made a mistake. The man said to tae diamond-bedecked guardian of the keys: : “Has any ore inquired for me today?” The clerk stroked his mustache, looked admirir gly at a solitaire ring that sparkled on. his finger and replied nonchalantly: a Were you expecting somebody to ask for The man addressed looked hard at the clerk and replied in glacial tores: “I never expect anything in this world. But that makes no difference. Did any one inquire forme?” The clerk eyed him in mild wonder, and then said with a giggle: “I think you would be ashamed to ask. Of course there did. It was a lady, and she was here twice.” “What sort of a looking lady was she asked tha stranger. od The clerk said with an air of conviction that was mingled with contempt for his ine terlccutor: “Oh! just a smcoth-faced lady.” “That's my wife,” said the other in ‘such @ cool way that the clerk was staggered oud hisajoke fell dead. The other contin- ved: “She will be back, so I think I might as well take a rcom. ~What are your rates for rcoms?” “Two dollars a day and upward,” said the clerk glibly. ‘I guess you mean $2 a day and down, dcn’t you?” sald the prospective guest in a tantalizing way. “I know my business,” said the clerk. “Two dollars a day and up, and that goes.” “No you don’t,” said the man on the out- side, “you mean that the rooms on the top floor are $2 a day, and then they raise as you come down. That is $2 a day and down, isn’t it? The clerk gasped for breath and then said faintly: “Will you register?” —_——-eee—__ _____ . Big Money for an Imagination.
