TIE LINsLY hop
In the Armory Last Night Complete
Success

The Linsly hop, which was given ia
the Armory last evening, was opA Of
the most successful yet. given by the
students of that Institution. The at
tendance was not so large as at previous
affairs, owing to the Masonic bazaar,
but the assemblage was a most con-
genial one, and the affair on the whole
was signal success.
The Opera House orchestra made the
music for dancing, and the merry de-
voices of the terpsichorean art secured
the full measure of enjoyment from
the programme of twenty popular num-
bers. At the usual hour, luncheon was
served.

KNIGHTS TEMrLAR DAY.

Yesterday was Knights Templar day.
The published statement that the ba-
zaar would be continued had the effect
OF slightly decreasing the attendance,
as many, who contemplated visit 10
Midway, decided to wait until Monday
evening, when additional attractions
were promised. There was a Dig crowd
present, however, and all seemed to en-
Joy themselves thoroughly, The
knights met at seven o'clock in the
lodge room on the fourth floor, and pro-
ceeded with their wives and
families, to the different cafes.
The number of meals served Yesterday
compared lavorably with the preceding
day. This feature is deservedly pOpu-
lar, az the menu provided is more
elaborate than that of any restaurant
in the city. The patronage was divided
among the different restaurants. The
Marine Cafe has secured register, on
which are entered the names Of all who
dine there.
Last evening Midway was the same
hustling place, as on the previous eve
ming. The scene was animated and
pleasing. The orchestra furnished
splendid promenade music, and nearly
all the booths had special attractions,
which made it the most interesting eve
ming Of the bazaar. Itappears that the
ladies have an inexhauStible fund OF
ideas, and the Midway Plaisance would
present new and attractive features
every evening, II it was continued for
month.

FUN on MIDWAY.

The Irish policeman made things
lively last night, and Justice McFresh
was kept busy in assessing and collect
ing fines. The offenders who plead
guilty and threw themselves on the
mercy of the court" were treated most
leniently. The revenue from the mock
court will amount to q handsome sum.
Late in the evening, two gentlemen
in dude attire entered the hall, and
created 20 end Of merriment. Many
persons were kept busy guessing at
their identity, but their DISCUSSES were
so clever thatniew were successful.
The Reuben who had promised
20 retrrn, failed to pat in an APP

ment Of the crowd. At the Age

sold kisses, and not a few patrons were

Spiders Threads.

The spiders thread is made of in
Vulnerable small threads or fibers, one
of these threads being estimated to be
one-millionth of a hair in thickness.
Three kinds of thread are spun-one of
great strength, for the radiating or
spoke lines of the web. The cross lines,
Or what sailor might call the rat lines,
are finer and are tenacious-that is,
they have upon them little specks or
globules of very sticky gum. These
specks are put on with even interspaces.
They are set quite thickly along the line
and are what in the first instance catch
and hold the legs or wings of the fly.
Once caught in this fashion, the prey is
held secure by threads flung over it
somewhat in the same manner as las
so. The third kind of silk is that which
the spider throws out in mass of food,
by which it suddenly envelopes any prey
of which it is somewhat afraid, as, for
example, a wasp A scientific expert
menter once drew out from the body of
single spider 3, $50 yards of thread
or spider silk-a length little short of
three miles. Popular Magazine.

The Growth of Electric Railroads.

''The growth of the use of electricity
as motive power is remarkable, I" said
E. L. Carson, an electrician of Boston.
"Two years ago there were only 161
electric railways in the United States,
while now there are over 500. Six years
ago an electric car with two motors cost
81, 500, while the bids for the last con-
tract l knew to be given ran from $640
to 81, 500, and the former was the price
at which it was given, the manufactur-
ers being reliable men. 1t seems singular
that with such constantly increasing
demand there should be such COMPETE
ton as to run prices down to one-seventh
of what was paid six years ago, but such
is the case, and before it stops there
will be very few lines of street railroad
in the country not run by electricity. -

bear witness to the fact. They lose their

Dr. Jenner did because of his dis
covery of a way TO halt smallpox, and
as Dr. Kelley has endured because of
his almost supernatural cure of alcohol
ism, and the new discovery will run
the gantlet of caricature and expulsion
from medical societies, and will, like
the most illustrious being of all ages,
become the target for expectoration, but
the discoverer will give leprosy the COM
mand, ''Thus far shalt thou so, and no
farther" and that disease will wriggle
and crawl and shrink out of the world,
and after the medical emancipation is
dead the nations will build a monument
SO high to his memory that the granite
shaft will disputewith the skies the right

reverse their judgments and vote to ai-

Not so Partisan as Reported.

Neither the report of the council
proceedings as published in the Of
fetal city paper last week, nor the
information gathered by the TRI-
BUNE embraced all the facts con-
corning the selection Of supervisors.
1t is learned that Mr.. John Dave was
first nominated and confirmed as
supervisor for the 4th ward, that he
declined, and that Mr.. Engles was
subsequently chosen. This relieves
the mayor and council largely from
the charge of extreme partisanship,
Mr.. Dave being pronounced repub-
lican. 1t does not, however, justify
the selection of a democrat from the
republican first ward especially when
one Of that party of admitted quail
fication was suggested for appoint
ment.

A Move For Fire Protection.

At the council meeting on the 18th
inst. a move was made toward secur-
ing for the city some means of pro-
lection against fire. A committee,
consisting of Alderman Jenkins, Pri-
deauX and Engels, was appointed to
inquire into the cost of fire engine,
hose, etc. 1t is to be hoped this initi-
ative step will be followed up until
something is accomplished in the
line that all agree to be highly desir-
able. This city needs and can afford
to have an effective system for pro-
lection against fire. A system of
water works is probably not feasible
or necessary for the present, at least.
Next to that, if not equal to it con-
sidering the hilly surface of the city,
and the stony character of the soil,
would be first class steam fire engines
liberal water supply by cisterns or
otherwise, plenty of hose, an organic
ed fire department and all the APP
purtenanees thereof. Chemical en-
gines or cheap hand pumping engines
should not be considered. The eX-
perience of most towns that have
tried these is the best argument
against them. First Of all, the water
supply should be assured-ample and
reliable, for all parts of the city. The
matter of engines, hose and other
things to make up good fire de-
partment, will not be difficult of So
luton, with proper water supply
first assured.
The committee charged with the
subject is a good one, and satisfaeto-
ry results at an early date are hoped
for.
