The mayor was elected chairman and
discussion took place as to the best method
to be pursued.
On motion of Percy W. Rochester it was
resolved to select Mr.. Toklas to act as
treasurer.
T. r. Fleming thought it advisable to
thoroughly d souss the matter, and avoid
the evils that sometimes follow q spas
modic giving.
Ralph Simon was of opinion that the
first thing to be done was to get money,
and he moved that the mayor appoint a
committee with full power to act.
W. A. Games agreed with this ew, and
the details were presented by ". Korn,
the mayor and Percy W. Rochester, the last
named remarking that the easiest thing
was to raise money and the most difficult
was to distribute relief to the best advan-
tage. The mayor of Roslyn had appealed
for help, and part Of the help should be to
administer the funds.
Robert Bridges spoke as man who had
followed the occupation of q miner since
he was years old, and he knew the de.
plorable conditions which followed such
disaster.
The mayor appointed committee con-
sisting of Jerome Catln, T. X. Fleming,
DR.. &. III. RandeIl, Rev. ID. c. Garrett, Il.
Bridges and Percy w Rochester, to ar
range for subscriptions.
J. o. Hestwood announced that the New
York Symphony Club had been engaged
to give a concert at the First Methodist
Episcopal church on Saturday night for
the purchase of piano. but when the call
for help came it was decided to divert the
proceeds TO the Roslyn fund.
The mayor said he had received s25 from
Jerome tatlin and $25 each from two other
gentlemen. 1t had also been decided 10
ment to the fund.
T. Z. Fleming asked that call be made
for clothing and supplies of food for i'm
mediate use.
The meeting then adjourned and the
committee went into session and resolved
| that T. L. Fleming and Robert Bridges be
sent 10 Roslyn. 4 motion was adopted
asking the railroad company to afford free
| transnOrtatiOD
Mr.. Fleming said he thought the imme-
diate necessities were attended to, and he
advised that the future necessities of the
| families be the chief consideration of this
| committee. Not only would the families
| of the dead be in need, but those OF other
men who would be thrown out of employ

Rev. Mr.. Garrett was then selected to

Democratic Corgressmen Refuse to Ap-
Nronriate for First Order Light.

WAsHIyGroS CITY, May L. Especial. i
Representative Wilson had an interesting
time in the House today trying TO secure
an amendment TO the sundry civil bill in
creasing the appropriation for the Gray's
harbor lighthouse from $1,000 to SIS. 600.
The $15. 600 has been lying in the treasury
department for some time, but Represen-
tative Wilson wants first order light,
costing $4,000.
The amendment was ruled ont on points
of order, although the real reason was that
the Democratic committee would not al
low the increase. Mr.. Wilson presented
the memorials and petitions OF the people
OF Gray's harpor on this subject, and
showed how there was great loss of life
and property at this point because there
was no light TO guide the mariners Mr..
Wilson has hai 4 partial promise that the
amendment may be allowed on some later
appropriation bill.

from early morning until late at night,
and those who were present, either as
spectators or aiding in the work, will never
care to again pass through similar ex-
perience. About o'clock this morning the
relief men at work in the slope came upon
two more bodies. those of Sidney Wright
and Herman Danster, and few moments
later the bodies of eight or ten more were
exposed TO view. The dead wagon began
it's roll to and from the mine to the city
hall about o'clock, and steadily through

minutes, the corpse Of an unfortunate was
brought to the surface, loaded in tho

The water had begun to accumulate in
large quantities in the lower level, and
since the pumping apparatus was rem

deemed advisable TO remove the bodies

in the country he may have dozen neighbors whose friendship he values more than that of whole city full, for they are naturally more near and more intimate. Five minute calls are extend ed into friendly visits of an hour or two, during which thoughts may occur and be given expression.
 One may also have his old, good and tried friend come to see him and stay a fortnight.
 People, however. are not alike, and so while may enjoy chasing the curculio out of my orchard of an afternoon and good book under the shade of noun tainous mahogany or few plunks on the lute when the bulbul sings in the black gum tree, others may cling to the swift rushing elevated car platform, with congested traffic passing toe and fro over their feet, enjoying it thoroughly.

 He slowly opened the gate and said s"Hello, Mir. Nyel Hop on, but be care ful about it.
 Many will not believe this, but it is true. He was a man of forty to forty five years of age, with iron gray hair. l wish that had taken his number. l thanked him heartily and wired my agent up town to add $2,0OO to the former price of my Eighty-third street property.

 In other words, that is the number of horses it will take to work the mill on a still day.
 After the campaign is over and the rainbow retrievers and spellbinders get home, and prices are cheaper on sucl: labor, l am going to try joint debate on this windmill, if everything else should fail.
 The well is still dark and cheerless. A large blacksnake tried to cross it two weeks ago, but missed his footing and fell to the bottom, distance of over 100 feet. When we got him out he was out of his head at first, bht finally recognized me, smiled faintly and died.

became so great that they suddenly put up the mill and went away. l did not think at first that they would ever go, But they did.
 Possibly tho windmill also may do so some day. l thought that as soon as the rlufibers stood back from it and gave it mir it might go, but 1t has not. A well known physician and scientist here says Chat so much of the climate is required by the inY&lids who come here that there is not enough left to run windmill,
 l am arranging now, however, to club in with MT. Beale, a neighbor of mine, who owns H bicycle with pneumatic tires, so that we can get our wind else where in large quantities for filling his pneumatic tires and running my wind mill the year round.
 The mill looks very picturesque when in motion, but it takes the time. of q man and team to run it while they ought to be doing something else,
 Windlpills were first used in the Twelfth century In Holland they are used yet, the scientists say, in draining the polders and grinding the trass, l have about decided to drain my .polders and grind my trass by hand. My wind mill makes a good place to dry clothes on, and nothing could be better to keep butter in than my well.
 Windmills are extensively used in California about Stockton for irrigation, and n big farm or vineyard there looks like large bed of them in full bloom. But here the wind is not strong, and an effort to raise it, find. is only partially successful.
 1 read of windmill in Faversham that in ten weeks raised 2l,000,000 gal Ions of water from q depth of 109 feet, thus saving 100 tons of coal, or say $550. In tifty-two weeks this windmill would have saved S2,s60 This with what vegetables we can raise here would al- most run our house. By taking a boarder or two one could retire from active work and thus avoid attracting unpleas- ant comment.
 The post windmill was the earliest wind engine and had to be pulled about to face the wind. It was succeeded by the sinock or frock mill which consisted of stationary tower and movable gear ing for the miller. The American wind mill is said to be the best made, and even mine, am sure, would work if air could be supplied, An asphyxiated windmill is sad sight.
 For finding the horsepower of wind mills I give the following rule. It is for the old mill with sails, but might be fixed up to apply to American mills;
 Let n equal number of sails.
 Let A equal area of each sail in square feet.
 Let V equal velocity of wind in feet per second.
 Then the horsepower of the mill is:
