The Missing Link Is the Fastest Little Craft of Its Kind on the Bay. “Cana compound engine be run with only one valve?” is a question that has en- grossed the attention of engineers for over a generation. The overcoming of the diffi- culty meant the doing away with a steam rapid rate of speed so easily is a question. Tests will probably be made as to its prac- ticability. A FIVE-DOLLAR LESSON. How an Inquisitive Woman Learned the Secret of Making Tartar Sauce. “This, ladies,” said Mrs. Emma P. Ewing to her classin the School of Scientific Cook- ing during one of her lectures, “is sauce tartar, and it is excellent with certain kinds of fish™ She detailed how it is made, adding, “I want to say that the sec- ret of this sauceis the finish of it, There was a lady in the East who was passion- ately fond of this sauce with her fish, but there was only one place where she could find it to her taste, although she visited many places, and that was in a hotel in New Orleans. When she put up at that hotel she managed to see t‘:e chef of the kitchen and learned from him the secret of making successful sauce tartar, but it cost her $5. “‘The $5 secret wassimply this,” and she THE MISSING LINK. [Sketched for the “Call” by Coulter.] chest and receiver, and a consequent say- ing in fuel, space and weight. J. L. Bonner, master mechanic of the San Francisco and North Pacific Railroad Company, has solved the problem, and his launch *“The Missing Link” is a practical illustration of the fact. The launch is one It bas not been altered in any way except totake out a thwart in order to make room for the engine, and to bore a h | hole in the stern to allow working room | for the propeller shaft. That the experi- ment is a success is proven by the fact that 00 pounds of coal on board and twenty-five passengers, the Missing Link can average ten knots an hour for forty- eight consecutive hours. On a run of one or two hours and with the steam keptata | GUARDING THE MISSION pressure of 250 pounds, she can easily make thirteen knots an hour, and is consequent- ly by far the fastest launch in the bay. The Missing Link is thirty feet long and six feet beam. In the Custom-house she is registered three tons net, and is conse- quently the smallest steam vessel that has ever received a license from Uncle Sam. Her engines weigh exactly ninety-six pounds, and Engineer Bonner's son car- ried them from the machine shops to the whaleboat on his back. The boiler is about half the size of an ordinary cooking stove, and at first glance it seems ridicu- lous that steam sufficient to drive a thirty- foot boat thirteen knots an hour could be generated in such a small space. The fact is that every ounce of steam is used as it is made, and it only costs 15 cents an hour to run her. It would be almost impossible to burst the boiler, as it has stood a press- ure of 1500 pounds to the square inch. The engines and boilers were built by Messrs. J. L. Bonner and C. G. Ny durin their spare moments. In talking abou the matter yesterday Master Mechanic Bon- ner said: “My idea was to get something fast, machinery that was almost noise- less and a great saving in space and weight. In order to do this 1 ha'{‘ to construct a compound engine with a valve that would work the steam over twice, thus saving a steamchest and a receiver. ““There is only one valvein thelaunch in- stead of two, so therefore she is called the Missing Link. Anyone who can keep steam up and water in the boiler can run one of these boats, as the Missing Link is ractically automatic. With seventeen gal- ons of water in her tank and 200 pounds of coal in her bunkers she will run for forty- eight hours and cover 500 miles. All her machinery is of the simplest kind, and her engines conld be duplicated in twenty-four hourson a lathe. The appliance is much cheaper than a gasoline engine, much safer, and far greater speed can be ob- tained. The en%ine and_boiler would be particularly useful in lifeboats on ships and also in whaleboats. A lifeboat with machinery in her similarto the Missing Link could tow half a dozen rafts ana other ship’s boats for days, while on a whaler it would be indispensable in towing whales to the ship and boats back after an unsuccessful hunt.” TO PREVENT ACCIDENTS. A Clog Brake Invented for Stop- ping Moving Cars. An invention has been patented by J. Toohey of this city which has for its object the attachment to cars of an appliance for quickly stopping them while in motion. In view of the recent accidents on the / :‘ //47//7 2 £ A Catch-Brake for Streetcars When It Is 2 Down, electric-car system some appliance of this sort seems to be absolutely necessary and this invention of Mr. Toohey seems to have, in principle anyhow, some merit. It takes the form of a clogging brake, which is under the direct control of the motorman. The accompanying illustra- tration shows the arrangement of the brake when it is down and clog; ing the wheels. One of the brakes is attached to each rear wheel of the car and when not in use it is raised above the ground. The clog brakes do not interfere in any way with the usual brake attachments. When the motorman wants to clog the car_he moves the lever and throws the brakes down under the rear wheels in the position as shown. The lower part of the cIog is con-ugaud and fits the track so it will not sli As operated by a model the clog brake works to perfection, but whether it will stop'a beavy car going at a held up to the view of theclassa good sized onion and a silver-plated knife. Then as she used the knife to slice off the top of the onion and pealed a part of the piece re- maining in her band, in the same manner that an apple is pared, she said, “‘the chef did as I am doing, after which he remarked to the curious lady who had purchased the secret, ‘Madame, you take your silver knife so, and make a number of slizes very close together, then turn the onionin your hand and make some more slices so that they cross the others and after that you cut off the sliced onion and put one little tea- spoonful to the sauce just before you send it to the table, that is what gives it the good taste you so admire.” That was the end of the lesson that cost her $5.” . The Home for Chinese Slave Girls Under Police Pro- tection. Recent Threats Have Not Disturbed the Matron, as She Is Accus- tomed to Them. The finding of several sticks of dynamite on the premises occupied by the Presbyte- rian Chinese Mission at Sacramento and Prospect place has not disturbed Miss Margaret Culbertson, the matron, in the least, but the police department has taken sufficient interest in the matter to place an officer on duty at the mission to guard against the possibility of danger to the inmates. Two weeks ago a pretty Chinese girl was taken by force from one of the prominent Chinese gamblers. She was placed in the misslon and is still there under the pro- tection of Miss Culbertson. At the time the girl was removed from the house on Bartlett alley the Chinese became very in- dignant and practically swore vengeance. He is well known to the police as one of the leading gamblers in Chinatown, being a native son of considerable wealth and a dangerous man. Qn Mar ch 10 Miss Culbertson received a letter written in Chinese warning her that if she did not stop taking girls from their owners she would bekilled and misfortune overtake those in whom she was inter- ested. She paid no attention to the warn- ing, as so many of a similar nature had been received before. The police were not even informed of the receipt of the letter, as it was not deemed of enough importance by the matron. In the case of finding the dynamite it was different, but even then no ward was sent to the department until the officers had informed her of the find. ‘When asked about the letter yesterday Miss Culbertson said: “I paid no atten- tion to the note, and attach little import- ance to it now. I have received so many of the same kind that I pay no attention to them. The first thin, & inew about the dynamite being found was when Officer Conlon called here and informed me it had been found by his son, who delivers the morning papers. I told him I had re- ceived no threats recently, and supposed it had only been placed where iF was to frighten me. “The officers made another search and found two more sticks inside the grating of the windows. About 9 o’clock I made another search and found two sticks wrapfped in paper. I telephoned to the Criet of Police and officers were sent down. They made a thorough search but could not tind any more, “No, I am not afraid of the brothel- keepers doing me any harm, although they have frequently threatened to do so. I belieye the sticks were placed there more to frighten me than anything else.” Officer Adams was detailed to investi- g{ate _the case and guard the mission. othing of a positive nature has been learned regarding the parties who placed the explosive where found. One of the officers who is in Chinatown frequently said there was no doubt that there was flenty of dynamite secreted there and hat the Chinamen knew how to use it. ‘It stands to reason,” he said, “‘that the laborers who have been working in quar- ries and along the railroads know how to bandle dynamite and that they get awa; with n‘food bit of it while blasting. If they had wanted to blow up the mFuinn they could very easily have done so, but it looks as though the stuff was only placed there as a bluff.” Miss Culbertson says the threat or effort to intimidate her will have no effect on the work of the mission. The victims of the Celestials will be taken from them and cared for in the home just the same, A Rough and Tumble Fight, There was a lively rough and tumble fight in Harry Jacobs’ saloon at 238 Fifth street last pight which resulted in the arrest of James Hoye, a painter, for disturbing the €. Hoye and Jacobs quarreled because the former was trying to impose upon one of the latter's patrons. Hoey went into the street and re- turned with a large cobblestone, which he threw at Jacobs. In the fight that followed Hoye was severely cut in the forehead and had to be sent to the hospital for repairs by Officer Ryan, who made the arrest. Mirx Horkins Institute of Art Annual wul'xubtm.

THE TRACK FOR BICYCLISTS. Saturday Concerts Abandoned— Women on Bay Cobs—Beauti- ful Flowers. “A little more watering and a little more rolling then the new track for bicyclers south of the speed track will be finished,” said Mr. McLaren, superinten- dent of Golden Gate Park in his office yes- terday. “And it is to be hoped,” added Com- missioner Austin, ‘‘that the bicyclers will use it, for it will be a magnificent one and one of which they ought to feel proud. They, by using this to reach the beach, will be out of the way of the many teams on the main drive and consequently will have more freedom and be in less danger than they are now.” Yes, they’ll use it after they have been over it a few times,”” remarked Commis- sioner Rosenfeld. ‘“All they want is to know that it is open.” “By the way,” said Commissioner Aus- tin, “Mr. McLaren has received an Eastern paper which gives some very interesting figures which show how much the people there expend on their parks, and these he will submit at the next meeling of the Commissioners.” There is in the paper referred to the announcement that Chicago appropriates the sum of §1,126,914 for the maintenance of South Park. covering between 300 and 400 acres of ground. The sum of $421,340 is allowed to keep up Lincoln Park, which covers but 250 acres, and $314,750 is allowed for West Park. These parks are all ina high state of cultivation and well kept. B:fitimore has allowed $1,000,000 for the improyement of her parks, while San Francisco, which has one of 1100 acres and the best opportunities for making it one of the finest in the world, has to struggle along on $200,000a year. “For seven months in the year, re- marked Commissioner Austin, “we are forced to spend a great deal of money that in the East is not used for such a purpose. I refer to water. If we want to keep the park looking fresh and green for at least seven months in the year we are forced to water it. In the East they have frequent rains. Why, to-morrow we will have to put on fifty men to water the grounds, and that means money.” “You might say that these fifty men are not new men, but they are men taken from | different parts of the park,” said Commis- | sioner Rosenfeld, interrupting. “If it was simply stated that we were going to put fifty men on we would havea thousand men at our office looking for jobs.” Superintendent McLaren stated that four miles of pipe have been laid recently ex- tending from the panhandle to the western extremity of the park. Nine thousand feet of pipe have been laid on the site of the Midwinter Fair, with hydrants fifty feet apart. Experience shows, the super- intendent said, that it is more satisfactory | to handle short lengths of hose than long | ones, hence the many hydrants. The ex- pense for water yearly, including the cost of pumping, sprinkling carts and drivers | nn’f the time of the men who have to water the grounds, is nearly $20,000. | Despite the fact that a cold breeze swept restaurant on Third and Clementina streets, left with a picnic party for the Santa Cruz Mountains yesterday morning. When the train was nearing Los Gatos Fischer was acci- dentally knocked off the platform of the car and the train left him behind. He was after- yeard picked up and taken to Los Gatos. He reached the city last night and was taken to the Receiving Hospital, where it was found that his tongue had almost been cut in two by the fall and his face was badly cut. He lives at 21 Harrison avenue. THE THEATERS. What Will Be Presented at the Dif- ferent Playhouses To- Night. Peter F.

There will be an entire change of programme. i Several new performers will appear to- night at the Venetian Water Carnival. “The Fencimg Master’” was given at the Baldwin for the last time last evemng. To-nignt this theater will not be opened. It will remain closed until May 13, when Ysaye will give the first of four concerts. Next Monday night “The American Girl,” a_successful comedy-drama by H. Grattan Donnelly, will be presented at the New California Theater. The cast will in- clude Georfie Osbourne and the two little children who have done much toward the success of the piece. THAT THEATRICAL ROW, Both Mr. Harley and Mr. Krause Declined to Be Blamed. Dellcate Points of Professional Eti- quette Injured in the Fray. Most of the principals and all of the chorus in the casts of both ‘‘Robinson Crusoe” and the “Fencing Master” were busy yesterday talking about the row be- tween Manager Charles Krause of the Tivoli Theater ana Manager John F. Har- ley of the Whitney Opera Company, which was producing the ‘‘Fencing Master” at the Baldwin Theater last week. Both Mr. Krause and Mr. Harley were seen yesterday evening, and at the point where nhysical violence is alleged to have entered the theme of discussion the two stories diverge. Mr. Harley said: “I am very sorry the thing occurred, and to a great extent blame myself for losing my temper and being hasty. The facts, however, are these: I%ent to the Tivoli with my wife and one JOHN HOWARD. [Sketched from life by a “Call™ artist.] FRANK BARLANE. over the city yesterday an immense crowd | of people assembled in the park. The three points of attraction were the music by Scheel’s concert band, the museum and the beautiful flowers in the conservatory. The people who crowded the space in front of the bandstand were charmed with the splendid rendition of the several numbers, but many asked why there was not a little more of popular music, the kind that all understand and which enthuses, and many also wondered why the Saturday afternoon concerts had been discontinued. They were, it was ascertained on inquiry, aban- doned by order of Mr. Vining of the rail- road combine. This was a move in favor of retrenchmeht, and as a result the mani who would go to the park on Saturday an do not care to visit it on Sunday lose the music, and the railroad combine loses many fares. The museum was crowded all day, and while the people wandered from room to room it was noticed that the one in which the greatest number lingered was the one con- taining ancient armors and weapons, Since the larceny from one of the cases of valu- able medals the guards bave been unusu- ally vigilant. he ever-attractive conservatory is at present filled with most beautiful flowers of every hue. Among the most prominent and attractive are tri-colored bell orchids from Java, Gloxinias of many shades that cause every woman who sees them to say “How beautifull” Cypripedium from Borneo, a very pretty flower that looks like a minature pitcher plant, a beautiful col- lection of “lady’s fl})pper" that is said to be the finest that has ever been exhibited, and azaleas, red pink and white. During the afternon two women ap- peared on the main drive and attracted a great deal of attention. One attired ina neat close-fitting riding habit, and wearing a “plug hat”’ that rested on wavy golden- brown hair, rode astride on a bay cob, and her companion, who also worea neat riding hag)it, rode a side saddle, also on a bay cob. The two styles 6f riding, as witnessed side_ by side, drew forth much comment, articularly from the fair sex. The ma- jority seemed to be of the opinion that the man-fashion style of riding appeared to be the most comfortable, and the style of dress was no more pb]ncfionlhle than the ordinary riding habit. A number of youn, the north of the ban dudes assembled to stand and between homson detailed one of his men to make the dudes behave, but the{ heeded not his warnings. The Captain then caught the most persistent one in the crowd and “%emm ed” him that it wounld be better for him and his crowd to remain quiet. The persuasion proved a salutary one and the annoyance ceased. ——e Fell ¥rom a Train. JohnEdwerd Fischer, & cook employed 'In ] or two friends and asked for a box. Iwas told' I could have one if I paid for it. I paid for it. Nething was said about the house being crowded, but Mr. Krause said when I introduced myself: “‘Oh, I'm tired of you Baldwin people.’ I was from_the ‘Fencing Master,’ not the aldwin Theater. That made no differ- ence, 80 I paid for the box. Later, when I saw Krause in the Baldwin, I asked him if he had paid for his admission. He ad- mitted that he had not, and I told him to leave the house, Then I lost my temper and used miboot on him."” Manager Krause at the box-office of the Tivoli told an entirely different story. “There was no such thing as personal vio- lence entering into the qumef’nt all,” said he. ‘Mr. Harley demanded a box from a ‘standing-room’ house, and was told that the house was full. Then, the compli- mentary box being refused, he paid for it. When I went to the Baldwin I was told to leave by Mr. Harley, after I had offered to fiay for my admission. No money would e accepted, and I left the house without anything more than a remonstrance. “He never presumed to lay hands on me, for if he had I should have taken the law into my own hands. Do Ilook,’” added Mr. Krause, “like a man who would stand being assaulted without remonstrance?” Thus ended the personal row, but among the theatrical people in town the recontre was the prime theme of discussion. Physi- cally Krause is much the heavier, but Harley has a record for impetuosity and ill-brooks insults, fancied or real. As he admits himself, he lost his temper. The question of prohble police action on the ground of assault was ridiculed by both men, and the chances are_that, save for a possible stiffness in conduct when they meet again, the men will be friends.

PARISH PRIESTS NAMED, Father Kirby Assumes Charge of the New St. Agnes Church. SUPERIOR OF THE PAULISTS, Father Wyman Appointed to Suc- ceed Father Brady of ‘- St. Mary’s. Rev. Father Kirby has been appointed pastor of the new parish of St. Agnes by the Most Rev. Archbishop Riordan, and Rev. Father Wyman has been named superior of the Paulist community at old St. Mary’s Church on California street to succeed the late Father Brady. Father Kirby preached his first sermon Rev. Father Wyman. [Drawn from a photograph.] at St. Agnes Church, which is a neat little edifice on Masonic street, near Page, at the high mass yesterday morning. The church was built as an outside mission to the Bacred Heart parish, and was under the jurisdiction of Rev. Father Flood. Father Kirby is a young man of zeal and talent. He was born at Listowel, County Kerry, Ireland, on April 16, 1860. His early education was gained at Mount Melleray and at All Hallows. Later he attended the seminary of St. Sulpice in Paris. On the 17th of March, 1883, he was ordained by Bishop Higgins of Kerry, Ire- land. Hecame to San Francisco in the spring of 1883. His first appointment was as chaplain of St. Mary’s College, from where he was transferred to Father King's church in Oakland. Later he served two years as assistant to Father Serda at Tem- escal. On September 2, 1885, he was ap- pointed as assistant at the cathedral, where he has since resided. Of his family a brother is a priest, Rev. Thomas Kirby, at Mission Dolores, and two sisters are members of the Presentation Order, Sister Augustine in Berkeley, and Sister de Sales in the Powell-street convent, this eity. FatherWyman haslong been a Paulist mis- sionary and is well known throughout the United States. He prefers ionary work to the cares and responsibility of a parish and looks forward to the appointment of a fiermnneut superior to succeed him that e may go into the country and preach. “We have received requests for mis- sionaries from different parishes all over the coast,” he said yesterday, ‘“and we are anxious to comply. Missionary work is the object of the order, and for myself 1 much prefer that field. 1f we had the priests we could send them north to Wash- | ington and south to Arizona. Besides, Cal- ifornia and Nevada must be looked after.” The work of remodeling old St. Mary’s Church will begin this week. The interior is to be handsomely painted and frescoed, and the idea of the Paulists is to make the historic tabernacle one of the most beauti- ful in the city. FIRST OPENING ~ CRUSSE: The California Yacht Club Was Out in Force on the Bay. | A Water Carnival to Be Given In Honor of the Visiting Na~ tive Sons. The California Yacht Club held its first cruise yesterday. It was to have been sailed by signal from the flagship, but just at the start the commodore’s craft was disabled and orders were given to the fleet to go as they pleased. Commodore Bruce expectéd to have his vacht Rover in shape by yesterday, but was unable to get her in readiness. When this became known to Captain Nutz he tendered the use of his yacht the Pride of the Bay to the commodore for a flagship, which offer was accepted. As the Pride of the Bay was leaving the creek and getting into open water a heavy slant of wind struck her and she parted a link in her bobstay. sitated heaving to to make repair, which took almost an wour. The fleet went on to the city, then along the water front and over to Sausalito. “When the flagship reached the channel they found a most mterest'u:fi state of af- fairs. There was a gale a-blowing that made the yacht shorten canvas and run for shelter. The commodore eased off the sheet and made for the lee of Angel Island, where were found the Har Little, Annie, La Paloma, Cisul, and several others. From Angel Island all the way up the upper bay there was hardly enough wind for the yacht to stem_the tide. This being the case, it was found impossible to make Sausalito by way of the straits. A double reef was tucked into the Pride and the commodore again started out into the nasty weather. The work of this craft was fine, and she ueen \ | ARE This of course neces- | went through the seas as steady as a church, although at times throwing the spray clear over her gaff.

Messrs, Wallace and Campbell have the affair in charge. — CONFIRMATION SERVICES. Archbishop Riordan Officiates and Ine structs the Children. Archbishop Riordan held two confirma- tion services yesterday. The first wasat St. Peter’s Church, of which Rev. Father Casey is pastor, at the corner of Twenty- fourth and Columbia streets. There wasa large class of boys and girls up to have their faith in the Christian doctrine con- firmed. The girls were beautifully dressed in white with long, flowing veils, while the boys wore white ribbons on their coats.
