ITS TRIENNIAL.
Continued From First Page.

Association. 1t is with pride that our
citizens regard it.
After Dr. Nickerson's sweet voice had
been heard to great advantage IN Two
solos, the POSTMASTER read letter from
Mayor Ingraham, who was to have re-
sponded to the next toast Our City,
expressing his inability to be present.
DR.. It. HI. Gerrish
responded to the toast "Our Honorary
Members and claimed that he ought to
be entitled to active membership, since
he, as we'll as mechanics, made use of a
kit of tools, and if a shoemaker and a
tailor were entitled to the privilege, sure
ly he who makes the feet to walk and
the legs to bear the body, should have
like consideration. He continued with
the expression of his belief that mechan-
les associations, unlike the trades unions
are not for purely selfish motive, and
that in the purpose OF these organlza-
tons is perhaps the key that will unlock
the great problem of the contest between
labor and capital.
Colonel Fred N. Dow
responded to the toast to the United
States. and referring to Mr.. Merrills
tribute to England's prowess, in his pa
per in the hall below, said that he could
not help thinking that the United States
had a record that was far more worthy
of patriotic pride. When our citizen
soldiery arose in arms, it was to preserve
a nation wherein all men might be free
and equal, and not to extend our COM
MERGE and trade by the agency of the en-
gines of war, among the weaker and less
civilized peoples of the world.
After the rendition of a piano solo by
Miss Alice Philbrook.
Rev. Matt S. Hughes,
in speech full of wit and good stories
spoke for the invited guests, emphazing
the fact that the great advancement that
has made the present prosperity of the
country and it's wonderful manifestation
at the Worlds Fair, is not to be found in
the wood, the stone and the iron, but in
the manhood of the mechanics them
selves, Though he could admire huge
modern building he had rather turn
away from it and take the hand of the
mechanic that reared it and look into
his eye and talk with him, as one can
talk now with all mechanics, upon any
topic Of the day and find an intelligent
response. He thanked God not SO
much for material advancement as
for that of the workmen themselves. We
can show the former to the people of
foreign countries at our fair in Chicago,
but you can't display the manhood, the
conscience, the love of home and country
and God, and all that makes this country
whatit is. We can simply show the re-
suit of all these forces in the brains and
hearts of American mechanics.
Aftera delightful solo by Miss Kath-
crime Kicker, the company departed, all
voting that it was one of the most sue
cessful and enjoyable anniversaries in
the history of the association.

[From our Regular Correspondent
The third annual hunt, supper and
dance, which is now yearly given by
those of our citizens who are fond of
cunning, took place on Thursday of last
week. George Fl. Hodsdon and Isaiah
Cotton were on Wednesday evening chos-
en- to act as captains, and each for their
respective sides chose 40 men. Although
the day was pleasant it was hot really
good day for hunting, and the game
which was brought in at evening showed
a falling off over that of either previous
shoots. Mr.. Hodsdon's side won, their
points numbering 1905 against Mr.. Cot
toms 375.s
The attendance at the supper was
large, there probably being over 200 seat

of New York will then have chance to
study dancing diversified by some &C.

and poetic.

they do not seek her, because they can

If you'll observe her picture you will
see that there is not all ungraceful

there's no need to explain why the

after all but skirts. skirts. skirts. As

THIS is SIMPLY A CAPRICE.

Asia more terrible than all three. One
would incline to believe them also, if
only it were proved possible to live
through a summer in heat more cruel
than that of Scinde, for instance.
Americans also put in claim
for their great desert. One
thing is assured-that the famous Sa-
hara does not approach any of those
mentioned. In some parts of Scinde
necessity taught the inhabitants ages
ago to invent an apparatus for cooling
their rooms, which we were glad to
adopt under the name "WindSail."
AS for the actual heat in the severest
climates, persons otherwise trustworthy
will give astounding reports. We have
heard responsible officers of the old
Indian fiotilla avOuch that they have
seen the glass register 200 deg in the
sun at Bushire. 1t was long time ago,
however, and there lies their excuse.
Perhaps $50 deg has been recorded, for
brief space, under peculiar circum-
stances. But when 100 deg. is passed
every fraction becomes horribly per-
ceptible. Ten degrees above this is not
uncommon. The coolest place to be
found at Shikarpur sometimes has been
40 deg. But 120 deg. in the shade
may be regarded as the temperature
of the very hottest climates in
the world - when no wind blows.
Fancy that, as the minimum,
for forty-eight hours at stretch. At
Sukkur the year round. mark-resi-
dents endure q minimum of 81 deg. f:
happily there are few whites among
them. But this is in time when no
wind blows; and winds are the rule from
! March to July. There is the Suk, which
rises, as scientific persons alIege, in the
kachi desert, but ordinary mortals
will not be persuaded that it has its ORR
gin in the upper world. All life withers
before 1t. But there is worse. The Bad
i-simoon kills outright everything it en-
counters; not only that-it burns up
tissue and cartilage so that the limbs
can be pulled asunder when the storm
has passed by. OF course it is rare and
brief and very narrow i'll its track.

from a Chicago detective that was
worthy of the melodramatic stage. On
August last, after fleeing from Boston,
he was apprehended at the Palmer
House, in Chicago, by Detective Bailey,
of the Chicago force. as he asked for his
key, preparatory to going to his room.
He protested vehemently against the
arrest and told Bailey that if he would
come up to his room he would there
find proof that he had arrested
the wrong man. The Chicago
detective consented, and in the room

''Annals of Cape Cod" published by
the Rev. Mr.. Freeman in 1868, he men
tioLs that in 1903 Provincetown had a
regulation relating to the carcasses of
whales, sharks, horse mackerel, ETC.,
which required that they be lowed
below low-water mark, which would
Indicate that these marine animals
were SO common as to be in some de-
gree offensive in warm weather.
Many of them were captured for their
oil. Right whales yielded 20, 10. so and

Ion tc Z or s barrels; pOrpOise, gallons,
and boatload of dogfish yielded about
barrel of oil. Now, my big fish was
called shark, though he was not of
the man-eatlng or shovel-nOsed variety.
n. E. Atwood, distinguished and prac-
tical ichthyolOgiSt of Providence, pro-
nounced the fish a liver shark or sea ele-
plant, and considered it rare. The fish
was almost entirely white, and as hand
some in form as mackerel. He was
caught in 1862, inside of what is called
Long Point forming an outer boundary
of PrOvincetown's beautiful harbOr.
The fishermen had spread their seines
there for mackerel, and this big fish had
got entanged in them, so that he was
easily pulled to the shore, where the
tide left him high and dry. Being at
that time engaged in business in Prov
incetOwn l was invited to visit the mon
ster and see him cut up for the purpose
of extracting his liver. By the way. all
the oil of shark is in his liver, while
that of a whale, of course, is in his flesh
or blubber. took rule and measured
this shark, and found his length to be
just thirty-one feet; the breadth of his
tail was seven feet, and his circumfer-
ence in the thickest part sixteen feet.
L have stated that the liver of this
shark weighed two tons, and this is how
it was determined: The liver was cut
in pieces and pitched into dory. The
dOry carried ton and half in weight,
besides the rover. as has been proved,
bringing her down to her upper streak.
The dory was twice loaded deep with
this liver, and the fishermen thought
the weight was nearly three tons. But,
to be within bounds, concluded to call
it two tons, and it is so recorded in this
veracioas chronicle. After the Oil had
been fried out l fourd that 1t made
seven barrels full. and was worth at
