THE c COTTAGE CLUB.
Making Arrangements to Spend the
Summer at Tybee.


There was a meeting of the Cottage Club
at the Guards arsenal last night to dis
cuss the reorganization of the club and
make some arrangements for opening it
as usual this summer.
The process of reorganization, while it
has not been fully perfected is progress
ing, and it has been determined to open
the club about June l. No arrangements
have as yet been made about the mem bers
going down, and the idea is to secure
some desirable party to take charge on
their own account.
Several parties have been mentioned in
this connection and the committee which
is to be appointed by the president. Mr..
| George j. Baldwin, will make arrange
ments on this line. This will relieve the
club members from all trouble and re-
sponsibility in this connection, and they
will no doubt be glad to be relieved of
| this care
The club decided last night to take in
associate members. This was mentioned
at former meeting but was not decided
upon. These members will not be re-
quired to own share of the stock and
will be given no voice al the meetings of
the club. The dues, however, are
| greatly reduced.

counts Singleton must have had rather a
high time of it, but the bruises, cuts and
other little mementos which he left on

make things interesting. The mayor dis
missed the case.
Lizzie Lloyd was fined 80 for making a

The use of carrier pigeons in reporting
vessels at sea has been taken advantage
of much less than would be supposed
when it is known how few failures these
birds have made in the delivery of their
messages, says the Bo'sn The expert
ments made in reporting the yacht races
between the Vigilant and Valkyrie were
successful enough to warrant contin-
uance Of the method when necessary.
The captain of the ship Spartan. regu-
larly employed in carrying coal
from Seattle to San Francisco, has
adopted the plan of taking
with him carrier pigeons homing at
Seattle, so that o. hisEreturnlrvoyage he
can notify his agent of his arrival off
Cape Flattery, Washington, so that a tug
can be sent down Puget Sound TO tow his
vessel into port, there being no telegraph
communication from this point. In case of
disaster at sea how much uncertainty
might be removed by turning loose a
pigeon with message for his kominp
port All these innovations will be de-
veloped in time. But the hardship is that
the present generation of soamen will
have worn themselves out pursuing the
old methods and not live to see nayiga-
ton made practically safe and much
easier.

AT A STANDSTILL.
The Situation e Quiet One Among the
Lumber Stevsdores.


The Lumber and Timber Workingmen's
which its members state that they
are in no wise the aggressors, but that the
aggressiveness lies altogether on the part
of the stevedores, who they say have
been extremely unjust Z. the members of
the association, by taking undue advan-
taFe q every opportunity. and at times,
by reducing their wages without cause.
They claim that a strike was only
averted on a former occasion by the fact
that the stevedores came to their rates,
and after making a cut in wages did not
maintain it They state that seeing the
stevedOres reduce the wages of men
on the wharf, they knew the next step
would be a reduction of their wages, and
they simply took time by the fOrelock
seeking protection under a license. This,
they claim, will give them better fighting
grounds if they have 10 contend with a
repetition of the past, and they announce
that they are in the triangular fight to
stay. They say they viii load vessels at
30 and 45 cents, which is a reduction
of 20 cents below the regular rate. This
is a reduction Of 3 cents less on the thous
and than has yet been announced. Mem
bers of the association deny that any Of
their members were discharged on &C
count of the association taking out a
license or that any of the men resigned
their membership.
The stevedOres are about tired of the
cut rate business, and two or three Of
them said yesterday that they were going
to take vessels at the regular rates or not
at all. MIR. Ramsay said he did not in
tend to take any vessels at cut rates.
Others say they are going to let the situa-
ton work out itself. The steve
dores say the association cannot
afford 10 load vessels at any
such rates rs those at which they have
offered to do the work and at the same
time pay association rates for labor, as
they say they propose to do. This rate is
about S2.50 per day. II costs about 500
per day, said one of them, to load a vessel
at the association rates. 1t is considered
very good if the gang Of eleven men loads
an average of $4,000 feet of lumber per
day, which at 45 cents per thousand. to
which the rate was cut by the association,
amounts to $27, or a loss Of 81 to the man
who holds the license
In the meantime there are few vessels
in port TO be loaded and those here have
all made contracts. Others, however
are expected to arrive the latter part of
this week and the first of next, and the
association intends to bid for loading
them What the result will be may be
determined within week or two.

fenso introduced no witnesses beyond a
statement by Miss Oliveira, in which she
entered a general denial Of the charges
against her.

court and her bond fixed at $3.50 The
commissioner did not wish to send her TO

It was in 1917 when the Free Soil State
convention was held at Herkimer. There
was a great gathering of Free Soil Demo
Gratis and Abolitionists. In the ballroom
of the hotel lit was called a tavern in
those days., before the opening Of the
convention, were gathered the leaders,
who were constructing the new party
platform, stating the officers and commit
tees, and doing other preliminary work.
In a chair tilted against the wall was
Prince John Van Buren, running over
the manuscript of the great speech he
was to deliver. Occasionally he arrested
the work of his associates with an in
vitation to listen to Il paragraph which he
considered especially good. His readings
each time produced laughter and ap-

Nothing in tho Whole Vegetable King
dom SO Full of Wonder.
In the whole vegetable kingdom there
is nothing so wonderful and mysterious
as the insectivorous plants. The cunning
by which insects are allured to their traps
and afterward drugged or imprisoned is
nothing short of devilish and the variety
of methods employed--for there are near
ly 800 species of such plants scattered
over the glObe-ShOWS Il truly human in
genuity, and might we'll have been taken
as source of inspiration by the tOrturers
of the lnQuisition. In point of fact, one
of the most horrible of their conceptions
the Maid of Nuremberg-in which vic
TINS were impaled on nails and left to
die, finds a fairly exact parallel in the
dionaea, or Venus Fly-trap, a pretty and
attractive little flower, tie leaves of
which close round upon a victim that has
settled, like the halves of Il cockle-shell,
and are studded with interlocking points
the better to prevent its escape. Once in
side it is subjected to Il slow digestive
process until all is consumed. There are
three classes of inSectivorOuS plants, the
first having receptacles so arranged that
an insect can creep in, but not out again;
the second having viScOus or dewy leaves,
to which it sticks; and the third like the
Venus Fly-trap, being organized so sensi
lively that on the touch of an insect mot
or nedlbIe bodleS) they instantly close
round and enfold it. 1t is hard to draw
a border line between these last and the
animal kingdom proper. They secrete a
digestive fluid. in which various acids
(malic citronic, formic etc. and Il peptic
ferment are contained; exactly what one
would expect to find in an animals stom-
ach. The cells containing this fluid re-
spond to stimulus, and eXude it when q
victim is secured. The movements of the
plant produce a change which is only
comparable to muscular contraction

electric currents similar to those produced
by the neuro muscular action of animals
In spite of this they are veritable plants,

ground, putting forth flowers and seeding

Erroneous Impressions Entertained with

Shortly after s o'clock we set out with
about forty elephants. There were over
Il hundred in the expedition proper, but
many others were attached to it in
mental capacity. An idea may be formed
of the size of kheddah expedition, when
| mention that ten tons of jute rope are
taken to tie the hind legs of the ele-
plants; not to mention tools. tents
chains, provisions, and scores of other
articles
A great many people have an erroneous
impression of an elephants enormous

when necessary, about forty English
miles Il day; can carry ton and a half,
and can drag considerably heaveier
weights; but such cases are exceptional.
not the rule. A ton and Il half on level
ground is a good weight for an elephant,
and he can stand it for about three days,
walking at the rate Of twenty miles a
day. In mountainous regions a quarter
to half ton is all that an elephant can
bear, marching from ten to fifteen miles Il
day, especially if he has to seek his own
food in the woods. Nor is this pachy-
derm invulnerable to small injuries; on
the contrary, he is very susceptible to
any abuse, such as overlooking, etc, and
RECEIVERS very slowly, indeed In spite of
his thick skin he is very much affected
by sunheat flies and mosquitoes. 1t is
incomprehensible that the English in In

their officers being better instructed in
the care and treatment of elephants
The poor beasts are frequently over-bur-
dened and otherwise ill-treated. as re-
suit of which they soon break down,
when they might, by careful treatment

Our road was very difficult one, lead
ing as it did, up and down hill, over

path for themselves; nevertheless, the an
