The other committee will meet the delegations that are expected. and will see to their entertainment. Fully 2,000 strangers are expected to come. Invitations will be sent out to all ledges within a radius of 150 miles of the city and special railroad rates will be obtained for them. In the afternoon at 2 o'clock a procession will be formed in the heart of the city, which will mareh in line to the place where the exercises will be held. The place has not been decided, but Hanscom park will be ob- taiced If possible. Wherever the place is, impressive services and ceremonies will be held over a monument in honor of the dead The orator of the day has not been chosen. Alpha camp No 1, Woodmen of the World, is forming what may be termed the first uniform rank of the order. It is to be called the ploneer corps and will consist of the members of the morning degree of wood- craft. The idea originated with the members of the degree in Alpha camp. Today at 2:30 those who are eligible will meet in the lodge hall to decide upon the uniform. The corps will start out with sixty-three members. The newly organized grove of the Wood- men circle in South Omaha has been named Primrose grove No. 6. It contains a mem- bership of fifty-two. The following are the officers: Worthy guardian, Mrs. Harriet Garrison; worthy adviscr, Mrs. Maud Olm- stead; clerk, Miss Jessie Arthwid; banker, Miss Daisy Heasley; magician, Miss Jennie L.

Hawley on the E *anal. The Hawley was a trolley boat Hul while the trolley boat has some excellent features, it has some drawbacks. Various methods have been devised One is the use of a false stern, containing a motor and pro- peller, which can be placed on any canal boat. The current is supplied by a cable ong the side of the canal. This cable a trolley wheel truck running on it. A flexible wire connects it to the canal boat motor. If the current is to be obtained in this manenr, how: it is gener- ally conceded that a regular system of tug- vropell should be used, each tug car- ying along with it a string of boats. Another electric device sucks water through the hull of the boat and projects it out at the stern with such force that the boat is propelled forward. In France there is a system which provides for a ecable lying in the canal. The boat has electric machinery which grips the cable tightly and by means of revolving drums pulls itself along. A movable cable traveling cn large drums or pulleys along the canal bank has been used The canal boatman attaches a hawser to the cable, and the boat, consequently, is pulled along as the cable moves. It has been sug- gested also that we pull the boats In serles by means of locomotives running along the canal banks. A CANAL BOAT MOTOR ON THE BANK. ““The most ingenious method of all, per- haps, is that which calls for the erection of a double rail along the canal bank. The rail carrles a current of electricity and at the same time serves as a track on which runs a small motor, It is merely necessary to run a line from the beat to the motor. The motor runs along of itself and drags the boat ists who took part were Miss Tim H. Fitt and Messrs. Cole, Findlay, Gardner and Diffen.

Al Friday evening, and far into the night Masonic temple was given over to the Knights of the Order of the Red Cross. The occasion was a special conclave of Mt. Calvary com- mandery, No. 1, which conferred the order of the Red Cross upon thirteen candidates and wound up the affair with a banquet and ball. The entire afterncon, from 2 until 6 o'clock, was occupied with the work. To the banquet in the evening the lady friends of the companions were Invited. The tables were spread in the large dining hall and about them were seated fully 250 people shortly after 830 o'clock. The menu was excellent. The toasts were under the di- rection of Rev. T. J. Mackay. The following toasts were responded to: ‘‘Wine,” by Rev. S. Wright Butler; “King,” by Samuel Burns; “Woman,” by Ed J. Cornish; “Truth,” by Rev. William T. Whitmarsh. NEW YORK, May 8.—"One of the most fmportant and at the same time least no- ticed departments of electric sclence is that which has to do with aquatics.”” This state- ment {8 made by Thomas Commerford Mar- tin, author of “‘Eleetrical Boats and Naviga- tlon.” Mr. Martin has considered the sub- Ject from all its standpoints. Hence, he Is competent to speak. Thus beginning a con- versation with the present reporter recently, Mr. Martin continued: “I think It can be sald that we are in ntws, Minnehaha council No. 2, Degree of Pocas hontas, whose tepee is located on the corner of Am:s avenue and Thirty-second str experiencing a spell of its old time pros A degree team to conduct adoption cercmonies has been organized and consists entirely of ladies, excepting the chlef, Powhattsn.

John Jacob Astor has several electric boats, notably the cruising launch Progresso and the smaller Cocyra. The Progresso Is the largest electric boat in America. She is forty-six feet long and can develop a speed of twelve miles an hour. It is understood that Mr. Astor contemplates bullding a still larger electric boat. ‘Aside from pleasure boats, the greatest use to which electric launches can be put fs a8 small boats for our men-of-war. The lines of Mr. Astor's Cocyra were so successful that they were adopted by the American and Russlan naval authorities. While the grand duke, now czar, Alexander of Russia was at Rhinebeck-on-the-Hudson he was much struck with an electric launch which the United States government had just com- pleted for the cruiser New York. The navy department, out of compliment to the grand duke, presented the launch to him and con structed a duplicate for the New York. It ‘s now a feature of the Russian navy. The British government owns an electric boat which it uscs as a transport to convey troops along the Medway, between Sherness and ‘Chatham. “All these boats get their power from Btorage batterles, which are concealed under the seats. They therefore carry their power with them. The electricity is conveyed to a motor, which in its turn works a propeller. The French lnventor Trouve has made an ingenlous arrangement which is a rudder, propeller and wnotor combined. The motor Is situated on top of the rudder. The propeller, ‘connected by an endless chain to the motor, is located in a large slot cut through the rudder itself. It will fit any boat. It is only ‘necessary to drop it Into the ordinary pin- sockets and it is ready to take a supply of ourrent.

It is also said that her own- ers will go into the business of repairing hulls, fishing for pearls and other pursuits of a' like ne¢ure, as well as recovering treasure. THE TORPEDO AN ELECTRIC BOAT. “I suppose you might call a torpedo an electric boat. Strictly speaking, It is a pro- Jectile, worked by an electgic current, and controlled in most cases from a ship or from the shore. Torpedoes are too well known to the general publc to admit of much discus- sion, The Sims-Edison, Lay-Halght gnd Nog- dendeit all types. A femarkablé oue is the Victoria, which, Instead of being launched frem the shore, is attached to a buoy. The buoy may be located two or more miles off shore, but the torpedo, when re- leased, starts off and is worked from that polnt. The buoy in its turn is worked by cable from the shore, so that a respectable ‘numbcr of mijes may |le between the operator and the ship he is trying to wreck. “One cf the best uses to which the dirigable or shore-controlled torpedo has been put Is as % life-saving device. The Hibbard life- saviag tarpedo Ir practically ap electric fioat, these crafts will now be worked by elec- tricity. The single machine on board will be a motor connected to the propeller. The electric current will be generated on shore and transmitted to the motor cn the boat through a cable dangling along under water after the boat. The cable will just reach across the river and is wound and unwound by means of a spindle as the boat goes back- ward and forward. There are ferries worked by electricity obtained from a cable stretched through the air under a bridge. The boat might be called a trolley boat, as its action is identical, electrically, with that of a trolley car. Such a device naturally brings us to that more recent, but much more im- portant, branch of eleetrical aquatics. 1 refer to the electrical canal boat. No other department has had more discussion. THE ELECTRIC CANAL BOAT. “The vast influence of the canal from the commercial point of view makes a general introduction of electricity on it an impor- tant question. There are from 12,000 to 16,000 miles of unll: in Europe. There have been 4,468 miles of canals in the United States. More than 2,000 miles are still in use. One canal boat will carry as much as ten to twenty freight cars, and even allow ing for the difference In time consumed, the cost is very much less by canal than by rallroad. These figures are important, in- asmuch as they represent facts already laid down. The early canal boats were pulled by slaves. Mule power was atterwards substl. after It. This method, or others analogous to it, may be strongly commended, because there is no propeller to cause the water to wash away the canal banks—the great ob- Jection to steam canal boats. “The Introduction of electricity cn canals has another advantage—the illumination of the towpath, quite an important element in furthering the operation of the canal. I notice that the Baltic eanal is to be equipped with 25,000 incandescent lamps. The Man- chester canal ‘bs illuminated, and so will be the proposed ship canal which will extend from Mobile to the Gulf of Mexice THEODORE WATERS. Local Court of Ben Hur. At the third regulan meet'ng of the local court of the Tribe of Beh Hur, held May 8 at Patterson hall, twenty-eight members were elected and took the 2gll membership de- gree. As the local ‘com°t has been estab- lished less than a amonth, taking into con- sideration the charaeter and social standing of the applicants, ‘this may well be con- sidered a remarkable’ increase. The amount of Insurance in this order is graded rd- ing to age, but thevmenthly payments are the same, thus affording absolute equity to young and old. A reserve fund is created by setting aside 10 per-cent of the monthly payments to provide: against increased cost arising from increasing mortality of future years and to pay the.monthly payments of the members whose eertificates become fully paid and non-assessable by reason of having reached their expectancy. The order has two beneficial northern /@visions, all members north of the south Mie of Kentucky being in the northern division and all south in the southern. No assessments are made on the death of members, but all claims are paid from the monthly payments to the benefit fund. In April of this year the order sustained its first loss, which was pald im- mediately upon fillng of proper proof at the office of the supreme tribe. The next meet- ing of the court will be held Friday, May 17, at Patterson ball. e — An amusing told some years ago of E. A. Sothern, the actor, is going the rounds again. Upon a certaln evening he was in- vited to two entertalnments, one for children d the other a reception for grown people nd of children, Sothern decided to go to the party given for the little ones, and, think- ing it would be a great joke to go into the parior on all fours and roaring like a bear, he did so, much to the amusement of the guests and his own subsequent unhappiness, for once in the middle of the room he looked up and saw that he had made a mistake in the house and had played bear for the grown people and not for the childr During the short intermission between the banquet and the ball the guests were enter- tained with a stereopticon exhibition, but at 10 o'clock the large hall had been cleared for dancing, and the majority of the guests spent several hours In the enjoyment of a program of a dozen numbers, Among those present were: Mr. and Mrs. Edwin, R.

The Woodmen of the W.rld of the city are preparing to celebrate their memorial day already, and propose to make it one of the events of the summer in secret society eir- cles. The day falls on June 6, and Is the anniversary of the day on which the order was founded. It has become the custom, however, to spend the day in decorating the graves of the deceased members, and in the performance of exercises In honor of the memory of members who have passed away. This year the affair will occur on the Sunday after the 6th of June, in order to allow all members in the city and in neighboring towns an opportunity to take part, The program of the day has already been | prepared in outline, and the details are now Druid camp No. 24 gave a fargely at- tended smoker last week in the lodge rooms at Sixteenth and Corby streets, An informal program of music was given by those presen Soverelgn Clerk John T.

The Misses Rosenberg, young girls, played remarkably for their years. The recitations of Miss Cobb were also deserving of speclal mention.
