ALAMEDA, June 27.—The Encinal Rec- reation Club is flnancially embarrassed and will most likely disband. The di- rectors have called a general meeting of the members for next Thursday night to discuss the situation and decide upon their future course. In the meantime the directors are trying to effect a compro- mise with creditors. The Reereation Club is one of the bon- ton organizations of the city, classing among its members some of the leading Soclety men of Alameda. At present it is too much in debt and its expenses are running higher than the income. The directors consider the outlook hopeless and do not desire to shoulder the re- sponsibllity further. | e FOUGHT A STUFFED OWL, Did the Cat, and Is Dead as the Re- | sult of the Fracas. | | On the showcase of the H. & D.

Prowling lazily through the store and basement, lord of all he surveyed, always comfortably purring, was an honest tom- cat, the pride and mascot of the estab- lishment. He watched the premises at night and helped to open the door in the morning. Yesterday when Mr. Seibold arrived for duty he found the floor three inches deep in feathers, and Mr. Owl was | not in his accustomed place. ‘Tom also | was missing. He did not help open the | door. The police were called in for an| vestigation. 'nlne thg»‘ course of the day the owl was found behind the counter in a dark cor-| ner. Nearly everything was torn out of | him but his eyes, and they were thick | with the dust of conflict. He was liter. ally skinned. Later on the cat was found in the basement, stone dead. Then the | Coroner was sent for. The inquest, ac- | cording to Mr. Seibold, developed the fol- ing facts: 1021 fnldnight the cat, attending to his prowling, egpied the eyes of the owl shin- | ning gravely down at him. The reflection | of the electric light in Broadway was re- | sponsible. Cat and bird? Always a fight. U5 on the showcase leaped Tom, and the | savage attack was begun. Clawfuls of feathers flew. The owl never blinked. | The steady shine of his eves aggravated | the situation. The cat ”R Off came the left wing, then the breast | was lacerated, then the neck was laid | bare.

Discovered Again, and This Time Cheaper Than the Real Thing. To prepare by artificial means a substi- tute for the silk fiber which should pos- s the strength and beautiful luster characterizing the natural product of the silkworm has long great number 6f technical chemists. Un- til quite recently, however, the competi- tion with nature could hardly be looked upon as successful. There has just been brought to succe: a process by which the properties of nat ural sillc which are of practical value can be reproduced in a fiber costing but little to_manufacture. The inventor states that the artificial roduct, known as “Vanduara silk,” can e manufactured as a cost of only 3s 6d per pound. When it is remembered that the better qualities of natural silk sell at from 155 to 19s per pound, it is at once evident that the new process leaves con- siderable margin for profit. The fiber s prepared by ejecting fine threads of a strong solution of gelatine from very small orifices on to an endless band ceAveylng them to bobbins, on which they are reeied. After leaving the small orifices, the gelatine solidifies in a continuous fiber, a thousandth of an inch in diameter, possessing luster even greater than that of natural silk. The fiber in this state, however, is un- suitable for use, as it is easily by water. In order to render it jmper- vious, it is water proofed by a special rocess, which does not interfere {n the east with the silky appearance of the fiber. In its final state *“Vanduara silk’” can be dyed any color, and takes the d,\l'le( much” more brilllantly than ordinary silk. In one point only is the artificial fiber inferior to_the genuine article—viz., fts strength. But although *“Vanduara silk’" does not wear so well as pure silk, it is claimed_that it is equal in quality to most silks on the market, which as a rule have been deteriorated by adulter- $6300 at the lowest | 1s worth | wonten, with a few girls bent on| and white | { liekhoard | THE FORESTRY ASSOCIATION. : and be- | to | that it was a good time for | been the aim of a| in Glasgow, however, | spoiled | ation.

NEW YORK, June 27.—One of the larg- | | o est California wine merchants in this cit said to-day that the relations berween the Winemake: Corporation and the Winemakers' Association had not bene- fited the small or modest | winegrowers. Continuing he said: n arrangement between the two or- | ganizations would be all right if the a sacfation did not have the first cholce of | wines controlled by the corporation, but | what chance is there now for dealers who are not in the assoclation or for wine- makers to dispose of their product if it has been rejected by the assoclation members who have selected the corpo tion’s choicest wines? The maker of good wine is, to my mind, better off outside the poration because he can then dispose his goods if he wishes to_independent ants, or, in other words, he would » an open market for his wines.” 'THE RUSSIAN PROPOSALS 1 WILL BE REJECTED That Is the Result of a Protracted Discussion at The Hague.
