The ladies of the Yacht Whist club
met at Hickory Blufi' yesterday after-
noon and organized for the summer of
’96. Mrs. Robert A. McDonald was
elected secretary and a governing com-
mittee composed of Mrs. John H. Fer-

, ris, Mrs. P. G. Sanford and Mrs. George

R. Byington was appointed. It was de~
cided to limit the membership to seven
tables after which a waiting list would
be formed on which the names of other
members desiring to join could be
placed until a vacancy occurs. The.
meeting decided that the club would
meet every other Wednesday during

members had secured eight applications
for membership when there were but
three vacancies, it was voted that they
be submitted to vote and that no more
applications be received except to be
placed upon the waiting list. This
action will prevent any more applicants
joining unless the membership should
fall below one hundred. It was voted

. to give a Smoker at the club house next

tainment committee to five members
and give a dance at the club house"
every other Monday night, and to give
several musical entertainments during
the semen. .. . ‘

THE TA'PPER.

Keep! Up an Industrious Racket During
Absence of Workmen.

A man fell from the housebop in the
city of Aberdeen, and was brought into
a hospital with broken bones. He was
asked what was his trade, and replied
that he was a topper. No one had ever
heard of such a thing before, says the
Amateur Emigrant; the officials were
filled with curiosity; they besought an
explanation. It appeared that when a
party of slaters were engaged upon a
roof they would now and then be taken
with a. fancy for the public house. Now,
a. seamstress, for example, mightslip
away from her work and no one be the
’wiser, but if these fellows adjourned
the tapping of the mallets would cease,
and: thus the neighborth would be
advised of their dereliction. Hence the
career of the topper. He has to do the
topping and keep up an industrious
bustle on the hecsetop during the ab-
sence of the slaters. _

When he taps for only“ one or two the
thing is child’s play, but when he has
to represent a. whole troop it is then
that he earns his money in the sweet of
his brow. Then must he bound from
spot to spot, reduplicaie, triplicate,
scxtuplicate his single personality, and
swell and hasten his blows, until he
produces a perfect illusion for the ear,
and you would swear that a. crowd of
emulous masons were continuing mer-
rily to roof the house. It must be a
strange sight from an upper window.

A CHICKEN FOR ONE.

A Pigmy for Epicures Now Served by
Paris Restaurateurs.

It is generally conceded that a. small
bird makes a. very dainty meal for one
person, and it must have been a source
of regret to manythat it wasseldoni
possible to obtain a chicken just large
enough for one man with a. moderate.
appetite. The difficulty has now been
removed, in Paris at least, says the New
York Journal.

Many Paris hotels and restaurants
are, now introducing as a. novelty into
their menus what might be described as
“one man, one chicken.” Everyone
who understands anything of the appe-
tite of man understands that he likes
best to tackle a bird single-handed.
With- the ordinary fowl this was, of
course, impossible, so the ingenious
chef proceeded to develop, or rather
curtail, the spring chicken, and now‘
a three-months-old bird is served to
each guest, just as though it were a
quail or a. plover. That there is any

 

. stability in the body of so young and

tender a. chicken can hardly be admit-
ted; but the novelty has been greatly
appreciated, especially by Americans
in Paris, and there is already a demand,
and a great one', for fledgling barn;
doors.

BIRD TRAGEDY.

Starling Accidentally Collides with and
Kills a Book in Midair.

James Carter, of Masha-m, Yorks, Eng-
land, reports a happening to the London
Field the like of which seldom or never
was observed before. In over 25 vol-
umes of a welloknown sportesmen’s
newspaper a. similar incident has not
been reported.

The Field says that “a sterling, fly-
ing swiftly from its nest, collided with
a. passing rook, and the starling’s beak
penetrated the head of the rook, causing
instant death.” Hawks, of course, often
strike their game in midair and kill it,
but in that case the collision is inten-
tional. During the migrating periods
birds are often killed and maimed by
flying against unseen obstacles at night,
as telegraph wires or high waterfalls.
Many ducks and geese fly up stream into
the Niagara falls every year, but the like
of this incident is not recorded.

Fo-Hi’s Politeness.

Emperor Fo-Hi, the first of his
line, is the Chinese model of politeness.
He is said to have been so civil he al-
ways spoke, even of himself, with pro-
found respect, and when the Chinese
habit of self—depreciation is remem-
bered, this degree of civility will be bet-
ter appreciated.

Maine’s Waters.

Maine has 1,620 lakes, with an area
of 2,300 square miles, and 5,000 rivers
and streams, making Maine’s inland
water surface 3,200 square miles; Maine
\rivens fall on their passage to the sea a
mean distance of 6,000 feet, yielding an
aggregate gross power of 2,650,200
horse-power.

 

THE COU RT ROOM.

‘ A jury in Utah consists of only eight
men.

It is a. misdemeanor for a. woman to
enter a saloon at Astoria, Ore.

A police judge at Minneapolis, Kan,
has had only one case before'him in the
four years he has held office.

Of the 74 indictments returned by the
Kennebec county (Me) grand jury re-
cently, 60 were for violation of the pro-
hibition law.

It- .seems difficult for the marquis of
Queensberry to keep out of the police
courts. He has. just. been fined 15
shillings for riding his bicycle on the
sidewalk.

DANGEROUS LAKES.

Mysterious. Submarine Currents in Some“

of the Northern Waters.
Little Shuswap lake is stated to have
a. flat bottom, with a. depth varying
from fifty-eight to seventy-four feet,
measured from the .mean high water
mark. The deepest water found in the

~ Great Shuswap, says the Vancouver,

World, was five hundred and fifty-five
feet, about six miles northward from
Cinnemousun narrows, in Seymour
arm, though the Whole lake is notably
deep. Adams lake, however, exceeds
either of the Shuswaps, as its average
depth for twenty miles is upward of
one thousand one hundred feet, and
at one point a. depth of one thousand
nine hundred feet was recorded. In
the northwest corner of this lake, at a.
depth of one thousand one hundred
and eighteen feet, the purpose of the
scientific explorers was defeated by the
presence of mysterious submarine cur-
rents, which played with the sounding
line like some giant fish and prevented
any measurement being taken. It is a.
complete mystery how the currents
could have been created at this depth,
and scientific curiosity will, no doubt,
impel either public or private enter-
prise to send a second expedition to the
scene this summer to endeavor to solve
the riddle. As the height of the sur-
face of this lake is one thousand three
hundred and eighty feet above the sea
level its present bed is, therefore, only
one hundred and ninety feet above the
sea, although distant two hundred
miles from the nearest part of the
Dr. Dawson and his associates
believe that the beds of some of the
,mountain lakes in the region are many
feet lower than the sea. level.

GAMES IN THE ARCTIC REGIONS.

How Esquimau Find Recreation and Per-
sonal Enjoyment. .

In the matter of amusements the Es-
quimaux are not badly off. They have a.
form of cup and. ball, the ball being a.
block of ivory with holes at different
angles, into one of which the players
strive to insert an ivory peg as the block
falls, the position of the hole determin-
in g the value of the stroke.

Another game. says the Pittsburgh
Dispatch, closely resembles dominoes,
and contains pieces running as high as

 

 

“double thirties,” but the sequences.

are not regularly carried out, the
breaks in them seeming to be With-
out system.

When they can borrow or purchase a.
pack of cards they will play with con-
siderable skill, and they also enjoy
draughts, having learned these games
from the Whalers. They have a game
exactly like solitaire with the excep-
tion that ivory pegs take the place of
glass balls.

The special amusement of the women
is a. species of “cat’s cradle,” which has
been brought to such perfection that
they develop from twenty to thirty dif-
ferent figures in it. Indeed, they are
extremely clever in performing tricks
with string, winding and twisting a.
piece in and out among their fingers,

and then disentangling it by a. single

pull atone end.

 

OYSTER-SHELL HOUSES. ‘

...._—..—

They are Frequently Met with in Texas
Towns.

“Houses built of oyster shells can be
seen in a large number of Texas
towns,” Said G. A. Holland, a. well~
known newspaper man, recently. says
the Cincinnati Gazette. “The state
.was at one time undoubtedly a part of
the bed of the Gulf of Mexico. How
many years ago geologists do not
know, and natural historians are puz-
zled at the forms of life, so different
are they from any to be found else-
where.” Mr. Holland then proceeded
to unfold a remarkable story. Running
across the state from north to south,
he said, is an immense ledge or sheet of
rock formed of oyster shells. This
ledge averages about twenty feet in
thickness and is used for building pur-
poses in some places, while in others it
is ground up and placed upon the
ground as a fertilizer. There is a.
large quarry near Henrietta, in the
northern part of the state, and a. num-
ber of handsome blocks have been con-
structed from it. IVhen first taken out
of the earth it is white and soft, but
when exposed to the air it becomes
hard and turns to a beautiful buff color.
It was formerly used for foundations
only, but during the past few years a.
great many handsome blocks and resi-
dences have been built of it."

 

 

Saved by a Dog.

A large Newfoundland dog saved a
boy’s life at Baltimore recently. The
boy is eight years old, and the dog,
formerly a. tramp, is now well cared
for. The boy and the dog were romp-
ing on the dock in the morning, when
the boy nccidentall y fell overboard.
There are twenty feet of water in the
dock. The big Newfoundland saw the
boy fall, and just as he came to the sur-
face sprang into the dock and swam to
the fast sinking boy. The boy clutched
the woolly hair on the dog's neck,whicli
kept him afloat, and then the dog
started to swim with his burden to the
other side of the dock. A man rushed
to the rescue and. when the dog reached
the place jumped into a rowboat .and
managed, to pull both the dog and the
boy out of the water. The dog became
a. hero in the eyes of the people who
had been attracted to the scene and he
was ‘given a. first-class dinner for his
heroism.

PillSlililm WINNER

the Epsom Derby.

,

AT ODDS OF FIVE TO ONE.

The Favorite, St. Frusquin, Owned by
Rothschild, Beaten by a. Narrow Mar-
gin—Helen Nichols, the Amer-
ican Horse. Gets a Race.

LONDON, June 4.—The great Derby of
1896 was run at Epsom downs and won
by Persimmon. owned by the Prince of
Wales} St. Frusquin was second and Ear-
wig third. St. Frusquin is owned by
Baron Leopold dc Rothschild. Persim-
mon, lit was asserted Tuesday, was dis-
abled.i His chances of winning from St.
Frusquln were considered as practically

.destro‘yed. St. Frulquin, although beaten
at the finish, gave a good account of him-
self and finished second. Earwig, the
third horse in the race, .is ownedby Mr.
H. F. Beddington.

Folowing is the summary:

The ,IDerby stakes of 6,000 sovereigns,
by sulncription of 50 sovereigns each, half
forfeit, or 5 sovereigns only if declared by
the that Tuesday in January, 1895, for
3-,year-.olds, colts 9 stone and fillies 8 stone
9 pounds, the nominator of the winner to
receive 500 sovereigns, the owner of the
second 300 sovereigns and the owner of
the third 200 sovereigns out of the stakes;
about one mile and a half (280 subscribers,
68 of whom declared forfeit).

' H. R. H. the Prince of Wales’ bay colt
Persimmon, by ‘St. Simon-Perdita II,
first; Mr. Leopold de Rothschild’s brown
colt St. Frusquin, by St. Simon—Isabel,
second; Mr. H. E. Beddington’s brown or
black colt Earwig, by Hampton—Wriggle,
third. ’ -

The Track \Vas Very Hard.

The crowd in attendance at the start of
the great race was even larger than that
of last year, which was greater than any
that had been seen on Epsom downs since
1889. Most of the starters in the Derby
were out bright and early for their morn-
ing gallops on the Downs, Persimmon
speeding for six furlongs, St. Frusquin
and Gulistan each going a mile and
Knight of the Thistle five furlongs. The
track was so hard that it could not be as-
certained until the last moment whether
Regret would start or not. M. Cannon,
Regrst’s jockey, declared early in the
morning that the course was the hardest
he had ever seen and pronounced it posi-
tively unfit to speed a horse on. The bot
ting at noon Was 4 to 7Vagainst St. Frue
quin, 4 to 1 against Persimmon, 14 to 1
against ‘Gulistan, 10 to 1 each against
Teufel and Regret and 33 to 1 each against

‘ Knight of the Thistle and Bradward.

There was a steady exodus of racegoers
from London throughout the forenoon.
Hundreds of four horse coaches started
from the various west and hotels, carrying
among their passengers a large number of
Americans, and the roads were alive with
horsemen in every conceivable kind of ve-
hicle, from the gorgeous drags to the
dcnkey carts of the costermongcrs, making
their way to Epsom downs. An unusual-
ly large number of prominent society wo-
men were included in the almost innumer-
ajble racing parties, and their superb toilets
contributed to make the scene one of

. brightness despite the lowering skies.
' There was a slight drizzle of rain at noon.
The Prince Wished Good Luck.

The Prince of Wales with a party arrived
here by train from Victoria station just
before thefirst race and was greeted with
much enthusiasm. The heir apparent's
party included the Princesses Victoria and
Maud, his daughters; Prince Charles of
Denmark, the Duke and Duchess of York,
the Duke of Cambridge, Prince Christian
and Princess Victoria of Sleswick-Hoi-
stain. the Countess of Salisbury, Mr. Leo-
pold de Rothschild, owner of the Derby
favorite, St. Frusquln, and the Marquis
of Londonderry.

As the Prince of Wales was entering his
carriage at the Downs station some one in
the’crowd shouted:

“Good luck to you I”

The prince smilingly acknowledged the
good will expressed and drove to the course
amid the cheers of the crowd assembled.

There were many Americans present,
and they became enthusiastic when Mr.
Wishard’s Helen Nichols, ridden by Reiff,
won the Epsom Town Plate of 103 sover—
eigns for 3-year-olds and upward, dis-
tance five furlongs.

Royal Flush was second, and Marble
was third. Eight horses run. The batting
was 100 to 8 against Helen Nichols and
Royal Flush and 2 to 1 against Marble.

Helen Nichols made the running and
won by half a length, a head separating
the second and third horses.

The Derby is the blue ribbon event of
the English turf. Persimmon’s Derby is
the one hundred and seventeenth in the
history of the event.

The victory of Persimmon caused a.
scene of almost unparalleled enthusiasm
about the race course. The prince person.
ally led Persimmon to the Weighing room
amid the greatest excitement and loud.
and hearty cheering. The prince started
racing in 1877, but was never very success-
ful until 1895. and 108 years have elapsed
since any Prince of Wales has won a Der-
by. Curious to add, when, upon the last
occasion, Sir Thomas won, there were also
11 starters.

Attempted Bribery Not Proved.
BOSTON, J une 4.—The committee ap-
pointed to investigate the charge that Sen-

Sanger, yet the committee is of the opin-

ion that no corrupt act was proved.”

 

BALTIMORE, June 4,—Thirteen persons
