12 THE EVENING STAR, FRIDAY, OCTOBER. 4, 1895—SIXTEEN PAGES. SUBURBAN NEWS BRIGHTWOOD. A special meeting of the Ruth Chapter, Order of Eastern Star, was held at their lodge rooms in Mason!z Hall for exempli- fying the “floral” work of the order. It was an exceedingly large mee*ing, wfth an attendance of at least three hundred members, including the visiting iodges. The principal officers ptesent of Elezta Chap- ter were Mrs. Juliana Allen and Mrs. Fred. Tasker; Naomi, Mrs. L. C. Williamson, and of Martha, Mrs. Esbey and Mr. Harry Cook. After the degree had been corf2rred a short and interesting program was given, among the most attractive numbers being a vocal solo by Dr. F. J. Woodman, and Tecttations by Mr. Vaughn and Mrs. Frey. After this all repaired to the banquet hail, which was exquisitely decorated with palms, ferns and flowers, the gener2us do- nation of Mr. William Gude. A delicious supper was served. The rest of the even- ing was devoted to dancing. Last night Royal Arch Chapter held It: regular meeting in the lodge rooms, with a very good attendance. The prayer meeting of Emory Chapel was held last night, being led by Rev. Mr. Shipley. Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Wilson have removed to Washington. Mr. Calvin Witmer and family have closed their house and moved to Washing- ton for the winter. ——— BROOKL AND. ‘There was quite a pleasant gathering last right at the residence of Dr. and Mrs. Frank T. Howe in Univers'ty Heights. Music, both vocal and instrumental, and recitations were enjoyed, the participants being the Misses Howe, Messrs. W. H. and A. P. Harris, Sam'l Pond, Jos. Burg, John A. Graham, Frank T. Howe, jr., and little Marie Howe. Refreshments were served in the dining room, which was handsomely decorated with golden rod and autumn flowers, and made brilliant by many wax tapers in candelabra of rich design. Among hose present were Misses Helen and Ger- rude Walsh, Miss Edith Lee Compton, Messrs. Wm. Colbert of Point of Rocks, Md.; Edwin H. Smith, J. V. Wiggins, Sam'l Pond, Arthur P. and W. H. Harris, John A. Graham, Goldwin Patton, E. O'Brien of West Virginia, Joseph Burg and Master Arthur Compton. Major and Mrs. Green Clay Goodloe have returned after a trip north. It is understood that work on the new St. Anthony’s Church, which it was expected would be begun some time this month, has been postponed until next spring. ges WOODSIDE. ‘Thursday night last the residence of Mr. John Paul Jones was enlivened by the pres- ence of friends of Grace Episcopal Church, the original object being a lawn party for the benefit of the church, but the overshad- owing clouds, accompanied by the downpour of rain, prevented the assemblage on the lawn. Notwithstanding the threatening weather, though, the commodious porch of Mr. Jones’ house was utilized for the benev- olent purpose, and the originators of the en- terprise were highly gratified with the re- ceipts of the evening, which amounted to $45. October 15 a fair and bazaar will take peer at Irving Hall, Linden, for the further nefit of this church. The country about Woodside is becoming well known as a rich botanical section. Mr. Pollard and Mr. Knowlton, under the guid- ance of Mr. Henry W. Olds, have been col- lecting specimens for the Smithsonian her- barium. Miss Beggs of New Jersey ts the guest of her sister, Mrs. Riley Deeble. Mrs. Raub and Miss Ruth Raub are visit- ing Mrs. John Paul Jones. Mrs. K. S. Olds is visiting friends in Wash- ington. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Junkins, who have been guests of Mrs. J. E. Benedict for sev- eral months, have returned to: Washington. Mr. J. B. Benedict, detailed by the authori- ties of the Smithsonian Institute to visit Atlanta in connection with the exhibit there, has returned home. —-———_ TAKOMA PARK. A regular meeting of the town council was held Monday night in the chapel. In the absence of Mayor Shedd Mr. W. W. Dyar acted as president pro tem. Several changes were made in the town officials, Councilman Geo. A. Warren accepting the office of town clerk without salary. Mr. J. W. Wilson, having resigned as bailiff, that office was added to that of tax collec- tor, the latter having formerly been held by Attorney Gould, who resigned at the last meeting. Wm. Jones was appointed lamp lighter. Much interest is being manifested in the yearly election of officers of the voluntcer fire department, which will take place at the engine house Friday night. ‘The removal of Mr. Arthur Bache from bis home, corner Montgomery and Hickory avenues, to Washington for the winter has resulted in Rev. John Van Ness, pastor of the Presbyterian Church, having con- tracted for the same for the winter. The parents of the latter will spend several Months with him in his new home. Mr. and Mrs. Weston Bailey of Newark, = J., are visiting the parents of the former, Mr. and Mrs. Geo. H. Batley of Carroll avenue. Mrs. Shock of Harrisburg and Mrs. Ivans of Bellefonte, Pa., recent guests of Dr. and Mrs. H. M. Bennett, have returned to their homes. Mrs. Blood of Chicago is spending a fort- ight with Mrs. Dr. E. S. Carroll of North ‘akoma. Mrs, Heaton, sr., is visiting her son, Mr. C. M. Heaton, at his home, corner Magno- Ma and Oak avenues. Mr. H. E. Warren deserves the thanks of the community for the effort he is making to obtain a public telephone service for the use of Takoma. Tho result will depend upon the success with which residents re- spond to the petition for subscribers, which will shortly be prepared for signa:ures. The annual business meeting for nomina- tion of officers and committe2s of the Young People’s Society of the Christian Endeavor took place in the chapel Tuesday evening, with a large representation of Members present. After an opening ser- vice of prayer and song, with Miss Irene Steers, president, presiding, who received the reports of the various committees, the following were nominated to he presented for election November 1, viz: President, Laura Skinner; vice president, Edith Bur- rill; secretary, Mrs. Bertha Burch; ccrre- sponding secretary, Ethel Mo: treas- urer, Ethel Mooers; organist, Mrs. Bertha Burch; lookout committee, Nan.

McPherson, chairman; good citizenship, Mr. J. Poler, chairman; prayer meeting, Mrs. Burrill, chairman; .missionary, Mary Lamond, chairman; Mrs. Keefer, elected to Yepresent the society as delegate at wo- men’s synodical meeting, to be held in Bal- timore October 14; assistant superintend- ent, juniors, Ethel Mooers; to solicit sub- scriptions to Christian Endeavor, Mary Lamond. Mrs. M. Cady Becker has returned from @ visit of several weeks with relatives at Bear Creek, near Wilkesbarre, Pa., to her home, corner Magnoiia and Chestnut ave- nues. A meeting of a committee, consisting of c. M. Heaton, Dr. F. J. Woodmon, 8S. 8. Shedd, H. J. Long and O. D. Summy, was held last night at the residence of Mr. C. M. Heaton, for the purpose of preparing for the entertainment of the annual yisita- tion of officers of the Grand Lodge on Oc- 20, F. A. r. and Mrs. J. S.

A bus- {ness meeting will shortly be held, when the decision will be announced, Mr. and Mrs. Warner Childs will «pend the months of October and November at Mr. Wm. Watkins’, pending the completion of their new home; now in course of erec- tion on Maple avenue. Mr. R. Percy Brown narrowly escaped sSer-ous results from an accident Saturday last. When whittling a block of wood his kn‘fe slipped, cutting a small artery in his leg. Dr. Shufeldt, who was called in promptly, said its nearness to the main artery made his ecape almost miraculous, as, had it been the latter, it must have proved fatal. A few stitches and perf2ct quiet for a short time are promis2d to pro- duce a speedy and complete recovery. eS HYATTSVILLE. A number of democratic voters of Bla- densburg district assembled last night at Coldenstroth’s Hotel, in Bladensburg, and reorganized the Eladensburg Democratic Club. Mr. B. D. Stephen called the meet- ing to order, and in a brief speech resigned as president of the ciub. Mr. James C. Rogers was chosen as temporary chair- man, and the club then proceeded with the permanent organization. The following officers were elected: James C. Rogers, president; John F. Hickey, vice president; Archie Wells, secretary; George W. Colden- stroth, treasurer. A committee, consist- ing of Messrs. Wiseman, Batley and Ste- phen, was appointed to map out the differ- ent sections of the district, and choose a committee from these sections to look af- ter the voters of the district, this commit- tee to be approved of at the next meeting of the club. The club decided to meet every Thursday night in Bladensburg dur- ing the present campaign. A pleasant straw ride to Cabin John’s bridge and return was given a few evenings since by a party of young people from Hy- attsville and Washington. The members of the party were Misses Edith Rathbone and Mary Brown, and Messrs. George Mark- wood and Harry Shepard of Hyattsville, Mrs. Burton, Misses Mamie Austin, Emma Bright, Olive Pullman, and Messrs. Pfieffer, Champlin, Ernest and Valoris Austin and Dr. Housel of Washington. They assem- bled at the residence of Capt. Austin, in Washington, about 7:30 o'clock, and rode to their destination, enjoying the moonlight on their way, and making merry music with their horns. On their arrival home they partook of a tempting supper. Philip J. Stubener was granted a divorce from his wife, Pauline Stubener, by Judge Brooke of the circuit court at Upper MarJ- boro’ last Tuesday. =~ GAITHERSBURG. Mr. Wasl ington Day has contracted with Mr. Hezekiah Day to erect an eight-room dwelling on his farm, recently purchased near town. Mrs. M. P. Phebus of Washington has been the guest of relatives here for a few days. Mr. John 8. Larcombe Monday took pos- session of his handsome cottage at Oak- mont now nearing completion. This three- story, twelye-room residence is second to none in the vicinity in point of architectu- ral beauty and spaciousness. Mr. James H. Briggs has at last ascer- tained the whereabouts of his missing son, Uriah, who left here about six weeks ago, while in attendance at church with his parents. Shortly after his disappearance a young man was killed near Cumberland by a freight train. Before dying he was taken to a hospital, and one arm ampu- tated, and gave his name as Briggs while unconscious. About the same time a young man left home in Baltimore named Ma- honey, who was of similar description as young Briggs. Mr. O. N. Briggs, a brother of the latter, and Mr. Mahoney, a brother of the former, were both summoned :o Cumberland, and upon investigation it was at the time concluded that the man killed was young Mahoney. Shortly after, Mr. O. N. Briggs received word that young Mahoney returned home to Baltimore, and upon thorough investigation made last week by Rev. Mr. Lloyd, a friend of the family, who was taking a vacation near Cumberland, the fact has been establish- ed that it was young Briggs who lost his Hfe on the railroad there. Much sympa- thy is manifested here for the family of the unfortunate youth. Undertaker W. R. Pumphrey will go to Cumberland and re- move the remains here for interment. Why the young man left home, unless it was to visit friends in Ohio, and how he met his death will never be known, for he was in an unconscious condition when discovered sitting on the railroad track seventeen miles west of Cumberland at night, with one arm crushed to the shoulder and his head and face terribly cut. He was im- mediately removed to a hospital at Cum- berland and survived but a day, every ef- fort being made to save his life. At the meeting of the Waverley Club Tuesday evening Miss Carrie Walker ren- dered excellent music, and tr. Wm. H. Wessells of Washington made an address to a fair audience. A Story of Mystery. Do you know what a “Story of Mystery” is? It !s a continued story of which all but the last chapter ts printed, and then guesses are made as to the solution, then the final installment 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 correct solution. In case no guess is abso- lutely correct the amount will be divided among those nearest to a correct solution. The guesses will be confined to women read- ers.

Skins of the great auk are still more val- uable than eggs, but the number of trans- actions has been very much fewer; In fact, it 1s believed the last one previous to the sale this year took place in 1869. This had belonged to Dr. Troughton, and brought £94 108. The Edinburgh Museum had an opportunity of acquiring one in 1870 for £100. but the offer was declined. Howover, in 1895, a fine specimen was secured for 350 guineas. The great auk preserved in the Natural History Museum of Central Park, New York, cost £130 in 1868. Previous to’ this the value rapidly declines, so to speak, as in 1860 Mr. Champley bougnt a skin and an egg for £45. It is safe to say they would fetch ten times as much now. The skin possessed by Mr. Malcolm of Poltalloch, Lechgilphead, New Brunswick, is thought to have cost originally, ahout the year 1840, only £2 or £3. Mr. Bullock's great auk, sent to him from Papa Westra, Orkney, was, after his death, sold in the year 1819 for {15 5s. 6d., and this, although it was a genuine British specimen, and, therefore, almost if not quite unique in this respect. Yet—and this must close the summary of prices—the value of a skin in 1834 was only abopt i8. Truly, tempora mutantur. —see Rich Harvest for Fishermen. From the Portland Oregonian. The mest bountiful and valuable harvest likely to be garnered in this section was that gathered from the waters of the Co- lumbia river. It 1s estimated that the amount received by the fishermen from the carners for salmon this season was nearly $2,000,000. The latest and most careful esti- mate places the salmon pack of the Co- Ivmbia river this season at 505,000 cases of ferty-eight pounds each. To make a case of canned fish requires on an average of seventy pounds of salmon as it comes from the water. The 505,000 cases of canned fish represent £5,350,000 pounds of undress- ed fish, which, at 6 cents per pound, the price paid the fishermen, amounts to §$1,- 767,500. Just what the value of the pack is carnot yet be known, as the price may ficctuate. A Gyest of Honor. From Judge. ‘An English actor was a member of a company snowbound in the Sierras while en route from California to the east. Be- fore their train was pulled out of the drifts they had been reduced to eating the coarse fare of the railroad laborers, and got little enough even of that; so that they all had a magnificent hunger on when the train reached @ small station at which there was a restaurant, and the English- man was the first to find a seat at a table. “Bring me, in a hurry,” he said to the landlord, a burly western man, “a porter- house steam, some deviled kidneys, a brace of chops, plenty of vegetables and two bottles of Bass’ bitter beer.” The landlord stuck his head out of the dining room door and yelled to somebody in the rear apartment: “Say, Bill! tell the band to play ‘Rul Britannia.’ The Prince of Wales has come. DONE BY THE CAMERA. - Vast Advance in the Science of Pho- tography in Recent Years. From the St. Louis Republic. Photography is the standing wonder of modern sctence and art. True, the mechan- ism of the camera has recently been so simplified that a child can “touch the but- ton” and perform the miracle of taking a photograph; yet it may be truly said that late as well as former discoveries in .he sccentific bypaths of this very important branch of knowledge furnish material for much thought and reflection. A generation has scarcely passed away since photography was introduced into the United States, and there are many men and women still living who can -emember the day when the sum toial of the photographie apparatus in America consisted of a cigar- box fitted with a spectacle lens. In the science of photography, however, as in all other branches of human knowl- edge, the last half century has wrought wonders, and the resuit has been magical Progress all along the line. In no branch of human thought or action has the progress- ive, scientific spirit been more pervasive. Self-sacrificing investigators have labored so Industriously for “more light,” and have been so unselfish in imparting the informa- tion thus gained that the reading public has come into the possession of a pretty fair knowledge of the inestimable services that are being rendered to modern science by the photographer's art. When the present generation was chewing Tubber rings and wearing kilts, sitting for a photograph was a more tiresome task than posing for a hair cut or a shave. In those days instantaneous photography was unknown; today the camera's sensitive eye catches and retains images of the light ning’s flash, “the forked fury of the clouds, ' and shows every motion of a bullet from the instant it leaves the muzzle of the gun until it comes in contact with the tarzet. In order to take such photographs, the artist must be equipped with special ap- baratus. Among otier things, it is noted that the method of illumination ts infinitely more rapid than that given off by the elec- tric spark, the feat being accomplished by throwing light from a mirror revolving 60,- 00 times per minute, and with an exposure of only one-millionth of a second. in the estimation of many, celestial pho- tography is more of a genuine wonder than that branch of the art alluded to in the forexo:ng sentences. During the last two decades—the twenty years which have pro- duced more miracles of invention than did the whole of twenty preceding centuries—a combined camera and telescopic apparatus has been perfected. The remarkable char- acter of this instrument can best be ex- plained by a comparison: The naked eye never sees more than 6,000 stars in the whole of the “azure vault of heaven;” the large telescopes increase this number to 50,000,000, while the combined photographie and telescopic eye catches at a single “look” the images of 160,000,000 twinkling silver points of light. Sir Robert Ball, the great British astron- omer, says that some of the distant worlds, the images of which have thus been caught on sensitive plates, are removed from us by such an immeasurable abyss of space that it would take a beam of light 3,000 years to flash between the two points, and light travels with a speed 6f 168,000 miles per second. Certainly this is sounding the depths of mystery. , Besides the wonderful apparatus in the list of photographic curios mentioned above, Inventors have recently perfected scores of curious instruments, and with them they have obtained remarkable results. One of these Is a “photographic gun,” which takes pictures at the rate of a dozen a second of any object which the picture-taking “‘sports- man” chooses to aim at. Another is espe- clally designed for the purpose of auto- matically taking photographs of rapidly growing plants. Photographs of hop and bean vines thus taken at internals of sixty seconds show movements in plant growths which the old-time botanists never dreamed of. An English inventor has patented a “photographic trensmitter and receiver,” which literally sends portraits by telegraph, and another subject of the queen has per- fected an apparatus which actually photo- graphs rain drops at the moment of their formation. There are thousands of other interesting and curious uses to which the camera has been put, and while we wonder at what has been accomplished by it in the past, we can only wait with a feeling of anxiety for what will doubtless be its moré wonderful development in the future. ss DEFENDERS OF THE WHEEL. Medical Opinion Confirmed by the Ex- perience of People Who Ride. From the San Francisco Argonaut. The San Francisco dailies have recently published columns of matter concerning the death of a young man named Giles, which death was sttributed to meningitis caused by bicycle riding. The doctors gravely dis- cussed the matter prb’and con, and their varying views were touched upon in last week's number of the Argonaut. The up- shot of the medical discussion seemed to be that those doctors who do not ride are di- vided on the question, come believing that bicycling is beneficial and others that it is not; among the doctors who ride, however, there is absolutely no difference in opinion —they all bejjeve the wheel to be beneficial. The opinioff of the doctors who favor the wheel has been corroborated in the most marked way ty a number of people who ride—some of whcm have been patients, but are so no longer. Mr. C. G. Field of San Francisco writes to the papers that he is fifty-three years old; that he has been wheeling for twenty years; that he recent- ly rode to San Jose, a distance of fifty miles, in three hours and five minutes, with- out discomfort; that he is in robust health, which he ascribes to the bicycle; that his brother, who had weak lungs, has been re- stored to health by bicycle riding; and Mr. Field closes by saying he believes there is no danger in bicycle riding, except that re- sulting from accident. A number of ladies give similar testimony. Mme. Julie Rosewald, who is well known throughout the United States as a former prima donna of opera, now lives in San Francisco. She has cured herself of rheu- matism and neuralgia by bicycling, after the doctors had failed to do her any goo. Mrs. George Forbes attributes her recovery from nervous prostration to the use of the wheel. Mrs. C. G. Field and her daughter ascribe their robust health to wheeling, al- though Mrs. Field condemns the use of cor- sets on. the wheel. Mrs. W. V. Bryan re- covered her lost health by wheeling. Mrs. Mills of Mills College for young Women is so firmly coavinced of the bene- fits of wheeling for girls that she encour- ages it by every means in her power, and the number of bicycles in constant use at Mills Coll2ge is large. There are scores of ladies in San Francisco who have rushed to the defense of the wheel, all alleging that it has been beneficial—some who were ailing say they have been restored to health by its use, and those who were in good health when they began are more ro- bust than ever. Altogether, it would seem as if the doc- tors had nct proved their case against the wheel. When we consider the extreme con- serv.itism of women, their proneness to lis- ten to their physicians, and their indisposi- tion to make such marked changes in their garb as even a mild wheeling costume in- volves, the hold that the bicycle has ac- quired over them is marvelous. Every day the papers of the land are filled with ac- counts of bicycling accidents, many cf them happening to women; here in San Francis- co, in addition to the terror of accidents, the doctors have sprung this new meningeal terror. But all this is of no avail. Women are mere timid than men. Yet the terrible tales do not deter them. The number of new devotees of the wheel, male and fe- male, seems to be increasing more rapidly than ever, despite the new terrors. as a Will Attend a Boston Dinner.

Within fifty yards from the house we found a large wooden platform, covered by a roof of atap (leaves of a palm, and sim- Mar to those of the cocoanut trec), and resting, at about four feet distance above the ground, upon strong piles, that had been driven into the soft soil of the planta- tion which encirclei the residence. One- third of the platform was partitioned off as a “green room,” and the remaining space had been left for the orchestra, who occupied one side, for the seats of distin- guished visitors on the cther side, and for the performarce of the piay in the ceiter. ‘The musical instruments consisted of drums, flutes and wooden staves. The last named contributed very much to the din, if not to the harmony of the evening’s en- tertainment, when they were struck either against each other or upon the platform. Two members of the band held hooks of the play, which they consulted from tim to time; and when required they assume the duties of prompter. At certain inter- vals the music ceasad, when the prompters <a middle-aged man, probably the proprle- tor of the “show,” and a very pretiy young weman—laid aside their musical tustru- ments and delivered harangues in a shrill monotonous key. These harangues, 1 was given to understand, were necessary, and were always looked for by the audience with much eagerness, as through them alone were divulged many points of the plot which the author had purposely or unavoidably excluded from the speeches and play of the actors. In fact, the author scught to atone for his deficiencies either by Introducing the character of “Rumor,” as is tke case in some of Shakespoare's plays, or by celling in the assistance of a “chorus,” as was customary in the Greek drama. -soe Cable Up the Amazon. From the New York Post. An interesting variation in the usual run of submarine cable work will soon be stown in the laying of a cable from the mouth of the Amazon 1,400 miles up the great river. This novel work will place the large and growing trade of the dim but rich interlor in direct communication with Europe, as well as with the immediate shipping ports, and will unquestionably contribute largely to the development of Brazilian commerce. To carry land lines ever this vast and little known territory would simply be impossible, and, as there are practically no railroads paralleling the river, the steamboat and the cable are the gieat means of commerce and civilization. There is a hint here, however, that might well be adopted even in the United States, where, if wires were cabled and carried aiong the beds of all available streams and rivers, there certainly would not be the in- terruptions now experienced through the failure of the land lines every time a sirong gale blows. In Germany, where military considerations often cause thingy to be done that would not be done in the mere interest of peaceful trade, no small proportion of the telegraph wires are thus submerged in order to avoid any break in the service at critical moments. ses A Mental Stimulus.

It used to be supposed that if a horse, cow, or pig was unfortunate enough to break a leg, the injury was fatal; that un- der no circumstances would the bones grow together again; hence no time was lost in destroying the animal and thus ending its misery. It is now known that, under simi- lar circumstances, no reason exists why an animal's bones will not unite as readily as @ person’s bones. As it is impossible to control and care for animals and keep them as quiet as hu- man beings, the treatment of broken bones is not attended with such good results. In many cases, however, with little treat- ment, animals with broken legs can be rescued from an untimely grave.
