THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, MAY 12, e T WAS RATHER WARM. Mercury Went Up and Cool Drinks Went Down in San Francisco Yesterday. MAY RECORDS BROKEN AGAIN. It Was Hot as the Nineties and the Cool Ocean Breezes Were All at Sea. California d “Phew!” ' yesterday, mopped its dripping brow and shouted for more iced drinks. Summer is warming the lap of spring this time. The nineties exclaimed ‘Hello! So soon?” to the swelling mercury as it pressed furiously upward to break another May record. The ocean kept up its em- bargo on its cooling winds and just let the s City end the valleys further landward | swelter. Here in the City there was hardly a zephyr stirring, and the sun blazed away from a sky beautifully clear except fora lazy haze that softened the blue above. The sun was re-enforced by a light flow of hot, dry air from the heated interior val- leys and the baking arid regions further to the north and east, where the area of high pressure was sending its currents forth. In San Francisco the mercury seized the opportunity and made a dash for the 90 mark, but missed it by a hair’s breadth. The best it could do, by the weather bu- reau’s official thermometer over the Mills building, was 89 degrees and a fraction. The highest May record for the first twenty days of that month was 88 degrees, made on May 19, 1889, so that another weather record was broken. In the Sacramento and San Joaquin valleys the hot weather made it five degrees hotter than the day before generally, and from Red Bluff to Bakersfield the temperature ranged be- tween 90 and 100 degrees. It will probably be as hot to-day and then things will cool off. It's an ill norther that blows nobody good and those who minister to the thirsty took off their coats and smiled. People rushed for beer especially. The consumption of beer was enormous and the moral r b was plainly brewery alone 125,0( were supplied on any d: rushed out in a wholess the clamoring thi & ‘wagon was busy and three wagons were put into service last night. The deliveries were over 400 barrels or more than on the same day last year.

Ordinarily sea breezes would be blowing in, but the pressure over central and southern Californ: higher than over the ocean and the hot winds are blowing sea- ward. The pressure is gradually falling over California, and when the barometri- cal pressure becomes nearly the same on land and sea, as it is likely to do this after- noon, the sea breezes will pour in, the norther will cease, and things will cool off. “It is nice, cool weather just a few miles off shore, but the cool ocean airs have been doing San. ¥Francisco little or no good, be- cause they can’tcome in. The hot weather shades off from the shore Iine until at ten or twenty miles out the temperature of 60 g. is reached. It was about 10 deg. er at the Cliff House than at the busi- ness center yesterday, but still it was about 80 deg. out there, when normally it would ha been nearer 60. The light northeast current that brought the hot air to re-enforce the sun in San Francisco yes- terday curved down close to the coast. A few miles off shore they became mixed up with colder currents, and beyond this line of eddies the cool west winds were trying to land. I FACTORY MD SHOP. A General Improvement Mani- fested in the Industrial Field. Barges for the Pacific Mail—Large Shipment of Barbed Wire. The Pacific Rolling-mills are at work on some important contracts, among which may be mentioned the manufacture of the material for a large new oil boat for trans- porting oil in bulk from the southern counties to'this city. Also the building of four large steel barges for the Pacific Mail Steamship Company, which are to go to Panama. They are also turning out forty large girders, each 55 feet long and weigh- " ing 2500 pounds each. These are for the bridge at Port Costa. They have numer- ous lesser contracts on hand and report the outlook for the season as encouraging, The Keystone Boiler Works are shipping @ large boiler to Alaska for the steamer Alice, plying on the Yukon River. The boiler is 23 feet long, 9 feet 6 inches on face and 5 feet in diameter with 18-foot tubes. They have just completed another boiler for the steamer Beaver, also for shipment to Alaska, and one for the steamer Whites- boro for the California north coast trade. Business with this firm is active, with a fsrg?pe“ of a greatly increased trade over Frank L. Brown of the Washburn & Moen Manufacturing Company reports a steady increase in business and large ship- ments of their Waukegan barbed wire to Oregon, Washington and Idaho and_ to many interior points in this State. Mr. Brown has just closed a deal for his com- pany whereby it obtains control by pur- chase of the California Wire Works, and the products of this large local factory will now be pushed to the front throughout the Coast. P The California Art Glass Works have just completed a beautiful piece of art ‘work for the window of a private residence in this City. It represents Cupid and Psyche, after the celebrated painting by Bouguereaun, tke French artist. Banker Tallant has ordered from them fourteen lights of mosaic art glass for his summer residence at Tallac, on Lake Tahoe. The McGlue Concentrator Company is completing a contract with St. Louis per- sons for the equipment of a fifty-ton plant with concentrators for a big mine in Mon- tana. This will require six of their con- centrators which are being made by the Union Machine Company. Thomas Mec- Glue, the president of the company, leaves for Montana this week to close the con- ct. The Risdon Iron Works have a large amount of mining machinery: work on hand, and report a very satisfactory in- cr of business in all lines handled by the firm. Architect Parker, under the direction of Mr. Raymond, is fprep&rlng plans for anew hotel in place of the Raymond, recently burned at Pasadena. The Pacific Builder reports theé recorded contracis ‘a San Francisco for the month Soda water and | of April as numbering 87, amounting to $418,073; unrecorded contracts 38, amount- ing to $927,903; a total of 125 contracts, aggregating $1,345,903. 5 California has the “only condensed milk factory inthe West. Itislocated at Novato, Marin County, where they produce a most excellent article of condensed milk and evaporated cream. It is known as the American Condensed Milk Company. They put up their milk in a glass jar with glass ‘tops, thus avoiding all chances of metal poison. L. G. Sresovich & Co. have just received ia'large shipment of apples from Austra- L, H. Lewars of the California Ink Com- pany reports a large increase in tragle. His company will removeand consolidate with the works here that part of their works now at Santa Paula. The factory facilities will be doubled in capacity, and they will endeavor to keep the product up to the in- creasing demands for their inks. . | The Krogh Manufacturing Company has just shipped one of its centrifugal pump- ing plants, including all the pipes, fittings, etc., to the United States of Colombia. The peculiar and highly gratifying feature of this order is that the purchasers reside in New York City, to which place the ma- chinery will be shipped by rail and thence | by steamer to its destination. This is ac- counted for by the high efficiency of these | pumps, which are guaranteed as high as | 75 per zent, against Kastern makes, which range from 45 to 50. This company has | also’ just filled a big order for a lot of | large gate valves and ffanges from Mexico, and has recently cumileted a §$3000 con- | tract for a redwood tank for the Olympic Salt Water Baths. 4 M. A. Grabham, builder of the Oriental gas engines, placed two of his engines in | pleasure launches the past week for prom- | | nent San Franciscans. One was for George | A. Knight and one for Hugo Keyl. | The Bay City Iron Works have a large | | amount of miscellaneous work on hand, | | and their general business has so increased | | of late that they have had to add to their | force of mechanics. { | The National Iron Works have just | shipped a guartz mill, crusherand gasoline | engine to Georgetown, El Dorado County, and furnished a double cylinder hoisting gine for the barkentine C. E. Funk, and 1pped a 35-horsepower gasoline engine | to the Cypress Lawn cemetery for a deep | well pumping plant. | The Byron Jackson Machine Works are }ammging to put one of their centrifugal | pumps into the whaleback steamer City of | Everett for pumping ash and clinkers from the boilers. This pump is to take the place | of an Eastern pump, which failed to dothe | work satisfactorily. The San Francisco Novelty and Plating | Works have securea the contract for the | brass grill and hand railings for the Safe | Deposit building, corner California and Montgomery streets, on which extensive Tepairs are being made. The Pelton Water-wheel Company have recently furnished the Ontario Silver Min- ing Company of Utah a plant possessing some interesting features. After the com- | pletion of their great drain tunnel (more | than three miles in length), which taps the |lode at a depth of 1500 feet, it was found | to have a continuous flow of about 800 cubic feet per minute. This water was piped down the canyon some 500 feet, where a fall of 120 feet was obtained. At this point is located a 3-foot 120-horse- power Pelton wheel connected toa dynamo | which furnishes light to the tunnel as well | as to the mine, hoisting works and mill. | In addition to the great saving thus effect- | ed much more security is offered against fire, while the superior light greatly facili- tates all the various operations of mining {and reducing the ores. This means of | lighting mines and reduction works has so | many advantages that it is a matter & sur- | prise that it has not come into more gen- eral use. Clot & Meese of-the Reliance Machine Works are cheerful. They do a general | machine business, and as a specialty man- | nfacture power iransmitting machinery. | To use their own expression: ‘“We have now more inquiries from all over the State asking for quotations than we have had for the last two years. This indicates that the machinery-using people are waking up. The first thing required in startingupa new, or even restarting an old factory, is | the overhaufing of the power-transmitting | machinery; thus the inquiries speak for themselves. Starting up of machinery means revival of business.” They have just booked an order for an ice-making 2nd refrigerating plant for the City Brew- ery, Sacramenio; a complete outfit of machinery and trackage for Simon Mai new slaughter-house at Los Angels modern refrigerating plant for Charles Zin- | kand. During the past week the Union Gas Engine Company have closed a contract for an 80-horsepower gasoline engine for C. L. Fair’s cruising yacht; also several contracts for smaller sizes. of marine en- gines, the demand for which still continues. The shipments during the week con- sisted of a large marine engine to Washing- ton; a small marine engine to Sydney, Australia, which is to be placed in the park for the benefit of the citizens of that city; a 6 horsepower to be used in Monterey Bay; a 4 horsepower to Cuba; a 6-horse- 1\‘0“-" umping plant-te a resident of Marin County, and a large marine engine for Captain Matthew Turner, which -is to be placed in a schooner which is now in course of construction at his shipyard at Benicia. e | | REIDCNG AT BERKELE The Victory at Princeton an All-Absorbing Topic of Conversation. Speculation Rife Regarding Results to Be Shown at the Contest With Pennsylvania. | for a long time to come. S| speculative The interest excited among the atudents at Berkeley over the success of the Univer- sity of California athletic team in defeat- ing Princeton yesterday is intense. From the time the announcement was made at the afternoon exercises of the senior class, interest in all other things gave way, and the good work of the student athletes be- came the one topic of conversation. The news could not haye come at a more favorable time, as the students were in the midst of the enjoyments coincident with the one day of the year given up by them to pleasure and merriment. They feel that the financial prosperity of the trip is now assured, and that the team, encouraged by its success in de- feating one of the “Big Four,” will surely win other laurels before leaving the At- lantic. Much regret was expressed on account of Seoggins not having taken first place in the hundred, but the boys who know what ‘+Jimmie” can do when at his best feel that he will lower 10 2-5, the record made against time yesterday. 1t is a matter of regret among the stu- dent pody that it was not possible to send & pole-vaulter and mile-runner with the team, as_many points will be lost on that account, by default. ‘ The work of Koch in the three events which he entered occasioned much favor- able comment; in fact, all the men who were at their best were highly praised, and those who did not come uptotgeir average were none theless thought of. Taking the work done by the boys yes- terday as a criterion, there is much specu- lation as to what will be the result of the gontest with Pennsylvania on next Satur- ay. e—— The Wilkie Concert.

BELIEVES IN COLLECTIVISM If There Must Be Taxation He Thinks the Single - Tax | Idea Is Right. Rev. George D. Herron will soon stir up | another whirlwind of unseated thought | and controversy among those who believe | they can think. He was in his room at | the Hotel Metropole in Oakland all of yes- | terday afternoon trying to keep oool while he thought of sociology and ‘political | economy. i Mr. Herron does mot believe in any sort of taxation whatever, but thinks that all | Governments should earn their own living. | However, if there must be taxation, he is | tion was held at the office of the home, 320 Sansome street, yesterday afternoon, President W./C. Burnett in the chair and the following directors present: Arbuckle, Backus, Burnett, Blinn, Garratt, Ruddick, Currier, Strohl and Fuller. The most im- portant business of the meeting after the regular routine work was the selection of officers of the home and of the board of directors, together with the various com- mittees for the year. Hon. W. C.:Burnett was unanimously re-elected president, George W. Arbuckle vice-president, John C. Currier treasurer and John J. Scoville secretary. Thebuitd- ing and grounds committee consists of General 8. W. Backus, G. W. Strohl and J. H. Garratt; application committee— J. C. Currier, G. \‘}). Arbuckle and W. J. Ruddick; auditing committee—Charles H. Blinn, J. D. Barnett and W. J. Ruddick. All these committees were selected with- | out opposition. The selection of the sup- ply committee was not as easily accom- plished. The entire board was placed in nomination for the three positions on the committee, and a prolonged and somewhat exciting time ensued. Directors Arbuckle and Currier were elected on the first bal- lot, leaving a vacancy of one. For this vacancy there were the names of Fuller, Garratt, Barnett and Blinn. Director Blinn is frequently quite plain spoken when thingsare not what he thinks they ought to be, and for his plain lan- guage during the past year he has incurred the displeasure of one or two of theold members. This fact cropped outat the annual election one week since when an (& PROFESSOR GEORGE D. HERRON. [From a photograph.] of the opinion that the single-tax idea is the best that has been publicly advanced up to the present time, and he hardly ex- pects that anything better can be evolved “There should be no taxation of any kind,” he said during an interview, ‘“‘be- cause, take it any way you like, taxation is a burden on the producer. Besides there is no absolute necessity for levying either a direct or indirect tax. I will presently explamn how to avoid the evilL “I believe in the single tax: as ‘the best system of taxation, but 1 don’s think the single tax will accomplish all the social reforms which people commonly think it will. I believe it is justas wrong for a nation to germib speculative private own- ership of land as it would be to permit private ownership of sunshine and air if such things were possible. The evils of industrialism are nowhere more manifest than in speculation in land. which is the most subversive to social morality of all forms of gambling. 'I‘hpre is divine reason in the old Hebrew feeling against land speculation as treason to the nation and a blasphemy against God. Compared to land speculation, the various forms of gambling against which we have legislated are innocent of evil to society. The Jand and its natural resources ought to be held by the State in sacred trust for the people, never to be surrendered. “In parting’ with the vast domains of the people, held by the Nation as the com- munion of God with the National life, the birthright of the people has been sold as for a mess of punage and the Govern- ment and economy o the people haye been surrendered to great private and spec- ulative corporations. e power given to these corporations has raised the question of Government ownership of railways, which is. at, present answered by a large measure. of virtual railway ownership of the Government. There is scarcely, any longer a denial that our great railway sys- tems constitute the largest legislative in- fluence .in. Ameriea. And these systems have obtaingd their power through legisla- tive giffs of the Nation’s lands and fran- chises. _“But a place of repentance for our National prodigality? may even now be found, though our unholy prudence be of- fended at' the despised movements that lead us to this place,in the 550,000,000 acres that remain of our inheritance, which only need the wise and_profitable employment of the unemployed to be conyerted into an empire of industry and fruitfulness that shall remain the property of the Nation and be sold in small'and conditional holdings orrented in terms of years or in perpetuity. “I see nothing to ridicule. I see nothing but the profoundest and most prophetic economic statesmanship in this proposi- tion, And when the judgment of history passes between the National Legislature of 1894 and the vagabond citizens who were mobbed by the police for bearinlg this proposition to the Capital steps. 1 want to be iud ed among the vagabonds. “Call tiem by what names you please, in the social order and political facts of a better national future these men will rise up in judgment against this generation and the cynical stupidity and wicked ignorance of its legislators. _“I don’t believe,” he continued, “that the Nation ought ever to have surrendered the final title in the land, but I am not sure but what the best system would be National land ownership with the land rented in terms of jyears. No Nation has recognized such an exaggerated doctrine of private ownership of fiand as America. The best of land systems ever enunciated is that of the old Hebrew commonwealth. ‘‘But, after all, I do not believejn the individualism and free competition which are involved in the single-tax scheme. I am through and through a collectivist. In the end I am not sure that I believe in any system of taxation at all, in one sense of the word, But I do believe that the Government should earn itsown living through the operation of the railways, which are the public highways, and the operation of other vast public properties now privately owned and managed. Like. wise, the city %avernmenu might earn their own living by the operation of mupic- ipal properties, such as street railways, Iights, water, tenement-house properties, and the like. The London County Coun- cil has taken the first steps in this direc- tion by getting possession of the city tram- ways and building tenement-houses.” Mr. Herron will subject, “The Present Social ,” in Metropolitan Temple to-morrow evening; deliver a lecture on the | fight, H VETERAN SOLDIERS' HOME.

The Managers Thoroughly Satisfied ‘With the Results of the Exhibit. The bench show at the Pavilion, held under the auspices of the Pacific Kennel Club, came to a very successful close last evening. Notwithstanding the exceed- ingly warm weather a very large gather- ing of ladies and gentlemen was present to witness the closing scenes. At 10:30 o’clock the big bell which hangs lazily be- tween the rafters of the Pavilion sounded its 1ast closing notice to the hundreds of barking canines whose masters were wait- ing impatiently for the time when they could liberate their prized beauties from close confinement and whisper in their ears the sweet and never to be forgotten words—no place like home. The closing scene was a noisy one. The big St. Bernards and great Danes growled savagely at each other as their keepers led them from the hall to the street,and the little pugs and terriers assisted to nosmall extent in making the final act of the show as boisterous as any lover of “man’s best friend” could wish. The show.was a most successful one from all points of view, The number of entrles was very large, there being 351 dogs ex- hibited.” Every one who went to see the canines was pleased with them, from Colonel R.D. Laidlaw’s big prize-winner mastiff Major down to J. 5 arley’s toy terriers, Moxie and Midget. The show was a pecuniary success, though the managers were unable to tell last night how much the club had cleared. Neither could they tell how great the at- tendance was, but it is known_ to have been far above what was expec A new ted. feature, pleasing to all dog-lovers, was the large number of aociety people attracted to the show. They left vowing that they would have a large lot of fine %ogs before the next exhibition. A large number of society people visited the show in the afternoon, and the majority of those present closely studied the different canines on exhibition. Con- siderable enthusiasm was shown by the society people, and several announced an intention to purchase and import, if nec- essary, dn%s of the various breeds which they most fancied. This was pleasin, news tothe members of the Pacific. Kenne! Club, and they hope to have large entries by society people at future shows. It has been the desire of the Pacifict Kennel Club to arouse an interest in the matter among the wealthy people of this City and State, and they feel now thas it will become quite afad among society people, ladies as well as gentlemen, to raise dogs of the finest breeds. The feature of the programme in the afternoon was the chifdren's matinee, at which all the trick dogs gave perform- ances. ‘There were a large number of chil- dren present, but they were mostly well along in the teens, so ciat it could be bet- ter called a mTtl‘:xee for young ?inses l:lld young men. e young e greal °“.i°ye‘i the show.

Phenes, beloved The home | NDER THECAMERA FLIG, The California Club Goes Out on the' Bay for Pictures. MR. HOSMER AND THE BRUTE. Visiting the Spreckels Sugar Re- finery and Photographing Marine Views. The camera in all its forms, the enthusi- ast in all his glory, trooped hand in hand to Jackson pier and boarded the Caroline, for yesterday was the time set for the Camera Club to take its outing and also all the pic- tures its plate-holders and film rolls would accommodate. So the man and his cam- era, the girl and her kodak, turned their faces bayward and prepared for what might come. The weather seemed to have been wait- ing for just such an occasion, and the little steamer, gay in her best outfit of bunting and flying the flag of the Camera Club from her bow, seemed to spring forward with more life than when in the hum- drum of commerce she carries nothing more aristocratic or interesting than greasy Ireight. She pulled out from the wharf some minutes after the time an- nounced, but late as she was some one on the pier was later. He was sprinting frantically down the long whart, a big box camera in one hand and a package of plates almost as big in the other. The steamer put back for hi and breathless, but pleased at the applause which his record-breaking speed had evoked, he stepped on board. It was Harry Hosmer and the ““Brute.” The ‘‘Brute” is a snap camera which resembles a trunk, and not a small trunk either. It was made at Hosmer’s request and ugon his designs, and under the prac- ticed hand of its owner it has taken some beautiful pictures; but its beauty is all in its work, and Hosmer’s “‘brute” has been g0 named by the club. Down past Lombard-street pier now the “male sapphires,” and the pale blue, ap proaching white, are called “female sa hires”; "but the most esteemed shade is the tint of the cornflower. The Empress of Russia also possesses a famous collection of turquoises, aithough that of the Baroness Burdett-Coutts is reputed to be the finest in the world. Turquoises of great beauty are becoming rarer and rarer. The affectionate nature of this stone adds to its interest. It is ‘be- lieved to change color and turn pale if the owner falls ill; and it loses its splen- dor altogether if worn by a lady with a cloudy complexion. owever, these very sensitive turquoises may come from the Arabian mines, whose stones have mot a good name among the jewelers on account of their liability to fade. Tur- quoises are found in Saxony, but the most famous mines are the Persian, which have been worked for eight centuries. The tint of the turquoise most prized is a delicate blue, inclining slightly to green. The most valuable single turquoise in existence is owned by the ex-King of Lahore.

In order to enable the large number of persons who attend the Grace Temple Bap- tist Church to hear Rev. Russell H. Con- well preach, a system of telephones is to be introduced by which the entire service can be heard in overflow meetings, that will be held in what is known as the Lower Temple and in the forum of the college afl- joining the temple, says the Philadelphia Press. It is proposed to place a properly ar- ranged series of telephones in front of the ulpit and at two other points of the ros- rum, and at a judicious position in the choir and connect these with the other two auditoriums. The experiment has been tried before in two instances, and both have proved successful. One of these is in Christ Church, Birmingham, and the other in Paris at the Grand Opera-house. In Christ Church, Birmingham, the min- ister is an enthusiastic worker among the hospitals. 1In order to give the patients in a certain hospital the benefit of religious service he has constructed a loud-speaking telephone, connected with his church. The ’phones were attached to the reading desk, the pulpit, the organ and the choir. After severa? experiments they worked successfully and ether 'phones were placed in other hospitals. Then the jail in Bir- mingham was put in the circuit, and eventually seven large cities, at a distance ranging from 100 to 250 miles, heard the little steamer churned her way, to where, just beyond, the ship Carroliton swung idly at anchor. Here the first enthusiast found his chance. He leaned against the afterguard and pointed a new 4x5 caliber detective camera at the ship.' As she was helpless, he had no trouble in taking her, and he smiled in satisfaction as he reload- ed, for the first shot had been taken. He took the second picture too, this man with the 4x5, for the Homer steamed by.as he reloaded, and he took a sighting shot at her. This was followed by a rattle of shutters from the forward deck. It was the first general snapping of shutters on the trip. Several snapped away at the old smelt- ing works and at Black Point, but still there had been nothing of importance un- til when off the beach at Harbor View a gilof/schooner was noticed off the starboard ow. She was slipping slowly through the water just on the crest of the flooding tide. Her sails flapped lazily in the gentle breeze, which, not having strength to fill them, sent little ripples playing from gaff to boom in & way to make the student of lights and shadows grab his camera and make ready. Every one was at the rail squinting through “finders,”” setting shut- ters, fingering buttons nervously and maneuvering g:r good positions. She was the Bonita, Pilotboat No. 7, and one of the prettiest and stanchest of the crafts of the channel finders. They took | from the starboard side, where the sails swelled toward them with what little wind | there was. As the steamer passed her | wake they took her from astern., As she hanled up on the port side they snapped at her again and still again as they crossed | her bows, each plate recording a vision of | tall tapering masts and white sails. If there is any one on the trip who bas not a | picture of the Bonita as she appeared al- | most asleep on the water yesterday, it was because he or she did not remove the cap, | did not pull out the slide or did not-do’any | one of the little things, so_small in them- selves, but so disastrous when omitted. Mr. Hosmer, with great effort, raised the ‘‘brute’ to his shoulder and took two shots. Miss Green, one of the lady mem- bers, who never wastes or loses a plate, took six views, and some of the kodak fiends only paused‘in the snapping of their shutters to turn a’ new bit of film behind the lens. ‘When the Caroline turned back again up the shore, and as she did so, fainily, but with an intonation softened and made clear and distinct by the stillness of the air, “‘four bells” floated over from the deck of the schooner. It was 2 o'clock. No prettier element helped to form the pic- ture, but none of the camera men could take and hold it—except among the memo- ries of the trip. The Bobolink, heavy lumber laden, with square bowsand ill iitUng sails, will ap- pear on many of the slates if the developer will only work well. She was the:nextone passed. Then the C. D. Bryant, with the tug Vigilant alonglgige, came up the bay in time to be shot. Then the, Martha Davis, whole service at Christ Church simultane- ously. Those who are arranging to place the ‘phones in use in the Temple have been in correspondence with European authorities on telephones and have received letters which show conclusively that the scheme can be successfully carried out. Rev. Dr. George A. Peltz, assistant pastor of the Temple, in explaining the prepared plan, said: “The factis simply this, that the present anditorium is not large enough to accommodate those who .come to hear Mr. Cornwell when he preaches. Every Sunday we hold overflow meetings in the Tower Temple and accasionally in the col- lege forum. While we haye good services there, there is a disappointment attendm§ it. The people come to hear Mr. Cornwel and they are not satisfied. The only way to_accomplish this is by the system of telephones suggested.

The crowd was there when you came along. But I helped form ‘this one.”’ “What did you do?”’ - “Stopped to admire a cute little shaver in a baby cab. The child was playing with a small dog and the two madea picture.” “But about the crowd “Some ladies stopped to look at the baby, then some children: to play with the dog. That made a gathering on the side- walk, and others wanted to see what they were looking at, and there was soon a big crowd that couldn’t see anything.” “Meanwhile you were obstructing the sidewalk.” £ “But you never saw a crowd dispersed as quickly.” : “Policeman?’ 2 “Not much! That baby wrinkled up its nose and began to c¢ry. In two seconds there wasn’t a soul in’ sight. The crowd had melted into thin air.”"—Detroit Free Press. “THE TRIUMPH OF LOVE 1S HAPPY, FRUITFUL MARRIAGE.” Every Man Whe Would Know the Grand Truths, the Plain Facts, the New Discoveries of Medical Science ns Applied to Married Life, Who Would Atone for Past Errors and 4void Future Pitfalls, Should Secure .the Wonderful Little Book Called ““¢Complete Manhood, and How to At~ tain It’” “Here at last is information from a high medical source that must work wonders with this generation of men.” The book fully describes a method by which towing fathoms behind the Sea King, brought more glassy eyes and black boxes to the rail. At this point a long and, to camera fiends, uninteresting portion of the bay oggned before the Caroline, and so the children brought -‘Chimmie Fadden’ from his home behind a door on the lower deck and proceeded to make his acquaintance. “Chimmie” is a sedate and rather sober sheep, whose business it i3 to lead his un- suspectini brethren up and down the gang- Elank, when the Caroline, taking down er flags aud laying aside her holiday at- tire, attends to business. 8o sedate is Chimmie that the deckhands felt no hesitation in letting him out, but he soon became intoxicated with the picnic spirit and proceeded to knock the children about, finally ending by sticking his head in the basket of a peddler who had joined the party and eating freéely his peanuts. Chimmie was relegated to pens and double locks for the remainder of the trip. The next center of inferest was the ‘whalebaclk Everett, but as she lay at the coal wharves with the overpowering bunk- ers for a background, only a few views'of her were taken. Then came the Oregon, and then at the refinery wharves was the first atopping~ghee. ‘While there J. D. Spreckels showed the party through the refinery, where every orie ate all the sugar possible, and had an hour of interest poking in sticky* machin- ery or parboiling in rooms superheated by the day and by furnaces. But the steamer’s whistle blew a hoarse recall, and all returned on board. The . Lyderhorn_of Liverpool, lying off the Union Iron Works, was circled in order to give each one the particular view he or she wanted, and then the little steamer turned remlutel%ohome, asifde- termined not to be lured from her course again. Nor was she, for within an hour she was again at Jackson pier, and Captain Leale, leaning from his pilot-nouse, was bidding his guests adien. They trooped up the wharf again, cameras, view-hunters and their friends but as they did so_more than one turn back to snap the last plate at_the little steamer as she Jay tied to the dock. She was not é)amcnlarly picturesque nor beau- tiful, but the club flag still flew from her bows, and somehow it lent something to her which even the graceful spars and rippling sails of the Bonita could not : | drive from the mind.
