IN BONNIE SCOTLAND.
A Lecture That Winds Up With a Moral on
Pure Beverage.


Pure Beverage.
The congregation of Calvary Episcopal
Church, East End. spent very pleasant
evening last night listening to lecture on
Scotland. delivered by Rev. L. S. Osborne. of
Chicago, the proceeds going to parish charities.
He was introduced by Rev. George Hodges,
well known to DISPATCH readers, and in a
pleasant manner.
Beginning with Ireland, Mr.. Osborne advised
all travellers in Scotland to DO the Green Isle
first, as he did, the contrast between the ma
tional characteristics being refreshing. From
the perpetual grin which contact with Irish
character provoKes where even rioting is TEN.
pered by wit and joke, you go over to Coven-
anter Scotland with greater Zest. The bever-
age that makes an Irishman funny renders the
Scot more dignified. Starting in Glasgow,
which, the lecturer said, though in Scotland,
led his auditors through the Land o. Cakes
very entertainingly.
The lecture was interspersed with humor,
pathos and snatches of descriptive verse. Mr.
Osborne was not inclined to Judge the Scotch
harshly on their reputation for love of the cup,
holding that much allowance must be
made for the difference in tempera-
ment between them and more high
strung and nervous people. The relig.
ious sentiment of the country preserves the
Scot from the excesses of his volatile critics
A gentle slap was administered to the iutem.
perate Temperance people of this country.
The Scot, prudent in his appetite, demands
pure liquor, and the idea was held out that an
attempt to reach reforms that could be at.
tanned might be more potent for good in this
country than wholesale and intempetate de-
nunciatlOn.

Office They were respIendent with
flags. and to these on the City Hall. shields
were added. The people packed Broadway
and the Park Row side of the City Hall Park
One hundred and eighty girls were standing IN
two lines, facing one another. on the plaza and
steps of the City Hall. each with basket OF
roses on her arm and each bareheaded and
clothed in white. The two girls from
ems. the IS from from the Normal College
were on the Threshold of womanhood.
They were chosen partly for their beauty, and

pulled up with her own little hands the nag OF
the President. seen there for the fifteenth time
on City Hall. This little girl was Dolly Reese,
the daughter of Mr.. Martin Reese, the care
taker of the hall.
The President Governor and Mayor, with
Hamilton Fish and William Ct. Hamilton,
mounted the steps, and then the inner stairs to
the Governors room. As they passed between
the lines of girls their way was Uttered with
roses. When they had passed the people burst
past the police, and in general scrimmage
picked up all the roses.
Up in the Governors room Miss Anna Aida
Abrahams, the daughter of well-known po-
lice reporter, addressed the President Drieny and
prettily. He responded. and after brief pro-
gramme had been followed the populace was
let in. Five Thousand persons in an hour were
stood, both the public and their titled servants
merely having time to nod to one another;
That ended the formula for the Nrst OF the
three great holidays, SO far as the general pub
lie was concerned. The ball was all that re-
mained. The President and his wife went to
the house of Vice President and Mrs. Morton,
at % Fifth avenue. That IS to be their nome

tertained at 20 Gramercy Park by Mr.. and
Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish. The great majority of
the members of the Presidents suite went to

HERR'S ISLAND STOCK YARDS.
LIghtest Run of ,stock for Several Months
Prices AdYnncinR.


Prices Advancing.
The run of stock was very light all around,
the lightest for several months. Markets
showed decided improvement in general, and
in some lines prices were advanced.
The receipts of cattle were more than 100
head below those of last week. The good
butcher stock markets were in favor of sellers
at an advance of 10c to 15c over last weeks
prices. Buyers were glad enough to secure
their regular supplies at the advance. West
ern beeves, weighing L50O to L6OO pounds
ranged in price from 81 IS to S. 90; medium
weights, 1,200 to 400 pounds. 81 s. to 81 80;
prime light cattle. 800 to 100 pounds 81 10 to
"a 40; common to fair 50 25 to So go; fresh cows
were held at s35 to s45, but no sales reported.
There were number of buyers on hand ready
pay SIS to $50 for common mixers but none Of
this grade were in the pens. The range for
calves was SIC to &c. There were no supplies
of butcher cattle from surrounding counties,
an unusual circumstance.
All the receipts of cattle were from Chicago
with the exception Of II head. Following were
the consignments: To l. Zeigler. 1O7 head; L.
Gerson, 50 head; A. Fromm, 40 head; Dellen-
bach q Co., II head; Rothschild & Co., 81 head;

head; Lauerman Bros, so head; various owners,
IL head; total, 475 head; last week, 593 head;
previous week, $50 head.
The run of sheep and lambs was light, de-
mand fair and market steady at last, Mondays
prices. A number of wool sheep and yearlings
were among the offerings, and 5O075c above
clipped was asked. There was, however, a
poor demand for wool sheep. The best heavy
wethers clipped sold at 81 1896 90; clipped
yearlings S. 1896 90; spring lambs. 7@9c. Re-
ceipts-I. Zeigler, Chicago, 212 head; ]. Shep-

Fruits and Vegetables Active, Corn Etrmt

The irmness of choice apples the past week
has had the effect of bringing out supplies in
larger measure than for some menths past,
Old potatoes are moving out freely in the.
direction of the Fairchance coke region, but
prices are unchanged.
The egg supply has slackened uD the past
week and prices are shade frmer.
Strawberries are coming in freely from
Florida. A choice article was selling on Lib
erty street to-day at 25c per quart. Monday
was slightly blue for produce men. A raw att
mosphere, with early showers, is always de-
pressing to trade. and when such is the state
of things on Monday there is a marked In
tensity to the depression. There is, however,
an improved tone to the produce trade as coms
pared with what we have experienced for q
month or two back.

ALL ARE SATISFIED so FAR.
The Samoan Conference Duly Opened in a
Very Peaceful Manner.

Very Peaceful Manner.
BERLIN, April 29.-The Samoan Com
mission was in session to-day for something
more than an hour, and the work of the
body may be said to have fairly
commenced. DIR. Arendt and Mr.. Beau
clerk, an Englishman. have been appointed
Secretaries to the conference. Count Herbert
Bismarck at the session to-day disavowed, on
behalf of Germany, any idea of aggrandize-
ment inconsistent with existing treaties. Count
Herbert spoke in French. Sir Edward Male
ton and MIR. Kasson followed in similar
strain. Mr.. Kasson limited that the United
States Government hoped that the question
would be settled on such basis as would pre-
serve the autonomy of the Samoan Islands.
On Mr.. Kasson's proposal it was agreed to
hold the discussion in English. Count Her
bert Bismarck has invited all the members of
the conference to dine with him on Friday
next Emperor William received a per-
sonal report of the sitting. At the
next meeting he will receive the
report of the subcommittee. All the delegates
appeared to be satisfied with the proceedings
thus far. The conference adjourned without
fixing date for the next session The senti-
ments expressed by the commissioners were of
the friendliest character.

A MONSTER NAVAL PARADE.
Twenty Miles of Vessels, 1000 in Number,
of All Varieties.

Twenty Miles of Vessels, 1000 in Number,
of All Varieties.
But all this-even the s., 500 ornaments at
one mans table-were trifies compared with
the naval parade then going on and to con-
tinue long after. When the President dis
embarked the mass of steamboats, that had
followed him and blocked the channel off
the Battery proceeded up the East river to
Hunters Point. There they turned, came
down the East river. and, rounding the Battery.
steamed up the Hudson to Fiftieth street, past
the warships, the cutters and the boarding
tugs, then anchored there.
In the meantime the rest of the ten original
squadrons, forming procession IA miles long,
had followed and was covering the same route.
But at this time there had been so many un-
listed additions to the feet, in the shape of
steamers from the lower bay and Kill Won Kull
that when the first great squadron that had
clung to the Presidents boat had gone up the
North river there was no apparent lessening of
the unparalleled mass OF boats in the upper
bay.
The projected parade of 200 vessels. IA miles
in length, had sweiled to 100 or I,200 vessels,
reaching as far as Sandy Hook-as far as Rah-
way. At one time both rivers and the bay were
filled with steamers, each carrying above it
cloud of steam to throw its thin shadow on the
now gloriousylighted water under sun like
that which shone on Washington himself.
First in public interest came the great passen-
ger boats, headed by the Mary Powell Queen
of the Hudson and Pet of Vassar College,
These included such vessels as the Cape
Charles the Iron Steamboat Companys fleet,
the City of Kingston, the Thomas s.
Brennan, the Kaaterskill, City of Spring
second only to the monarchs that ride the
Sound. Then came the little flyers like the
Shady Side, Morrisania, Rosedale and Idle
wild, the reindeers of the bay. Then followed
the great numbering boats such as the Winan,
Northfeld, Southfield and Brooklyn. Each of
these squadrons numbered scores Of boats.
Then came the big barges, Susquehanna,
dancing and hilarity all summer, each with
tug to pull 1t. After all these the yachts and
tugs and lighters and elevators and the rest
We cannot speak for Europe but in the new
world there never was such parade, never
such an aggregation of vessels on one body Of
American water.

DROWNED Ia TRE COLUMBIA.
-Four Men Thrown From n Boat Into the
Swift Current.

Swift Current.
PORTLAND, ORE, April 29.-News has
Just been received of the drowning of four
men at the Cascades on the Columbia river
last evening at o'clock. The names
of the victims were Peter Hanson,
Peter Boomer, John Larson andN Lawrence
Maelstrom. These men were all employed
at the locks and the canal on Government
work. They took the Whitehall boat and
started across the Columbia, short dis
tance above the great rapids. The river
was rising and the current much stronger
than supposed. The boat was caught in the
whirl. and despite all efforts was swept over
the rapids.
When about half way down the boat
struck on the rocks, was thrown 20 feet in
the air and the occupants were pitched into
the roaring, angry waters. Three of the
men never rose to the surface again. The
fourth man clung to the boat for some
distance. but finally perished. None Of the
bodies have yet been recovered. The terri
BILE accident was witnessed by many persons
on the shore, who were powerless to render
the slightest assistance to the hopeless
victims.
