and he graduated first in his class in 1873
from the MARYLAND State Agricultural and
Military College, near Washington, u. c.,
receiving the degree OF ABB, and in 1875
that of AN. He studied theology at the
Evangelical Lutheran Assembly at Spring
field, Ohio, and was licensed to preach in
1874 by the Lutheran Synod of MARYLAND.
In 1885 he was commissioned bv the
Women's Home and Foreign Missionary
Society OF the General Synod to open their
work on the Pacific Coast, and gathered
the nucleus OF q church at Los Angeles,
and organized the first Notwithstanding
Lutheran church in San Francisco, bring
ing the mission 10 self-support in three
years. and in five years securing the COM
pletion OF a handsome church at a cost of
$4,000. During this time he edited the
Golden Gate Lutheran. the first English
Lutheran paper, and assisted in the or
ganization of churches at Sacramento,
San Diego. San Jose and Oakland
In 1892 he accepted the call of ST. Mark s
Church, Roanoke, Va, and in two years
was successful in completing a beautiful
church IN that city. His pastorate in
Roanoke brought him into prominence in
the struggle for local option, and during
the bloody riot in the fall of 1898 with
other ministers, he stood bravely by the
legal authorities, and in the face of armed
assault, as well as in the pulpit, helped
unhnchingly the cause OF order
After the dedication of the church in
1894 he resigned MS pastorate, and has
devoted himself TO study and preparation
for wider work.
The return of DIR. Miller to San Fran
cisco is hailed with JOY by his former
friends. His natural enthusiasm in his
work insures the success of the new con-
gregation OF which he will be the pastor.

ALL AREFOR HARMONY
No Non-Partisan Movement
if the Regular Party
Promises Fair.
JOHN D. SPRECKELS' PLAN
Prominent Independents Who
Will Cooperate for Good
Government.
A PROTEST AGAINST BOSSES.
If the Republicans Put Up Their Best
Men There Will Be No Reason
for Revolt.
A PROTEST AGAINST BOSSES.

When John D. Spreckels announced
that his aim in politics was to compel good
government, to secure the election of
honestsand capable men to administer
local affairs, he touched a responsive
chord in the breast OF good men of all
parties.
He said he expected the cooperation of
men who felt and thought as he did, and
from the expressions of men of affairs who
discussed the statement yesterday it is
evident that there will be no lack of CO.
operation in the good cause.
Non-partisan. movements are protest
against i'll rule. The better element of the
Democratic party would rather see an
honest, conscientious and able Republican
in office than Democrat who does not
possess these attributes, but everything
being equal he would naturally chose a
man of the same political faith as himself.
Reversing the party names makes no
change in the proposition. so it is that
the existence of strong non partisan
movement indicates that citizens believe
the regular political organizations are in
the hands of men who cannot be trusted
to give good government.
This question was put to a number of
representative men yesterday who have
been identified with nOn-partlSan move
mentS in San Francisco:
''Will there be non-partisan movement
should the Republican party deal openly
and fairly with the people?"
Their answers TO this question make in
teresting reading.
Lowell White, who has been prominent
in the non-partisan movements of the past
in this City, had this to say:
1.-The non-partisan movement in this
City has ever stood in the nature of pro-
test against the unfair and dictatorial
methods adopted by the regular parties.
1t has been positive protest against boss
rule Boss rule called the movement into
existence, and l may say, and l think
truly that with the elimination of boss
rule and boss methods from the regular
parties it would have no longer cause for
being.
All the people want is to know that we
are to have common decency and ordinary
fairness in our local government. All
men, / take it, would prefer to vote for
men of their own political faith, If they
can be permitted to do so without mental
protest. If good men are nominated for
office there would be no cause for a non
partisan ticket.
There are, easily, a thousand good men
in each OF the regular parties who could
be named for Supervisors, and if either

DOUBTFUL ELECTRICAL PRoJEcTs.-F. L..
Pope, in discussing a recent electrical pro-
iect says that all is not gold that glitters in
electrical schemes, as in all others. People
have now such faith in electricity that it is
sometimes hard to persuade them that an
electrical industrial application may posi-
bly, cost more than it is worth. The project
in question involves the supplying of the
manufacturers of a Massachusetts town
with power from distant lake. The cir
cular OF the project states there is not the
slightest question that the supply of water
would be ample for the scheme as out
lined, and that it is sufficient to furnish at
q very low estimate, 1000 horsepower
night and day during the entire
year. upon the basis that it costs $40 to
produce a horsepower by steam in the
town, which is not an unreasonable figure,
it is assumed that $50, 600 worth of power

this point Alex H., who had always been

been supplied many years before to a sta
ton in California by a New York firm sud-

order to save the expense OF sending to
New York for an expert the manager gave
description of the trouble to the
monograph and then had the in
strument taken close to the pump, the
sounds of the working of which were re-

forwarded to New York, and when it was
put into the instrument of the manufac-
turing firm the voice of the Californian
manager was heard giving in clear, pre-
else way the symptoms of the pump, and
then the actual ailment of the pump be-
came audible. 4 diagnosis was instantly
made and in an hour the pump was under
treatment in accordance with instructions
that had been wired from the New York
office.

SPIDER FARMING.-A singular French in
dustry has been imported into this coun-
try. A few miles outside of Philadelphia
Frenchman has established a spider
farm, where the insects are bred and fur
nished at so much hundred for distribu-
ton in the wine vaults of merchants and
the sellers Of private consumers, who set
a smuch store by the external evidences of
age borne by the bottle containing the
wine as the date of its vintage. A batch Of
these spiders is a fine investment for the
wholesale merchant, who has newly
stocked his cellar. In three months the
new, shining, freshly labeled bottles are
to yelled with filmy cobwebs that the APP
pearance Of twenty years storage is
gained, and the effect on the customer is
Impressive. 1t would be very easy to cover
the bins with dust, but this would give no
such conclusive results as the rare device
Of dressing the bottle with naturally spun
cobwebs that drape the neck like delicate
lace. When the proprietor OF the farm has
an order from wine merchant he places
the spiders in small boxes, one pair in
each box, and ships them in a crate with
plenty of holes for the ingress of air. The
price asked, $40 a hundred, is satisfactory
to both buyer and seller. The farmer is
paid well for his product, and the wine
merchant, at an expenditure of $40 or $50,
may add a thousand or more dollars to the
price at which he would have sold his
stock of wine had it not been covered with
its lacework drapery. 1t is not all kinds of
spiders that weave the particular web most
desired. The pattern should be large and
circular, and this is only given by
two varieties of spiders. The stock of the
farm comprises 10000 spiders, old and
Young, the eggs OF some of which (the
choicest) are obtained from France. The
mother spider in laying her eggs makes a
small web in broad crack and laws about
fifty eggs, which she covers with soft
silk cocoon. In two weeks Cor longer in
winter) the eggs begin to hatch, an opera
ton which takes one or two days. The
eggsshells crack off in fakes and the young
spiders have to fight their way out. AL
though they begin to grow at once it is a
week before they look like spiders. They
often mott and shed their skins like
snakes. The brood have to be separated
or they would devour each other until
only one was left.

these figures, which are attractive enough
on paper. will not bear critical investiga-
ton, and for the benefit OF those commune
ties which may be contemplating the util-
lzatlon OF neighboring water-pow6rs Mr..
rope makes a concise and convincing
analysis of the scheme. The proposed
water supply has an area of 325 acres. The
Watershed area does not exceed four
square miles. The mean rainfall in that
part OF the country is about 37.5 inches
per annum; in dry year about so per
cent OF this, or 80 inches. Not more than
Is per cent of this finds its way
into the lakes. The rest remains in the
porous soil, or is evaporated. This leaves
70 inches, or 1.87 feet, which, falling upon
four square miles of water shed would
yield, IN round numbers, 1913, SOC, 900 cubic
feet of water, equal to 337 cubic feet per
minute. The twenty-inch steel pipe which
carries the water will give a head of 600
feet which would give 400 horsepower net.
Assuming 80 per cent efficiency for the
water wheel, 80 per cent for the electric
generator and 80 per cent for the distribut-
ing system, there remains, not 1000, but
262 horsepower available for industrial
purposes. Whether it is worth while to
expend $4,000 or 900 to secure this
amount OF power is, according to Mr..
rope, "a question which should be best
answered by those interested"

LIGHT RAILWAYS FOR FARMERs.-Maior-
General Weber has suggested, as a ueans
OF enabling English farmers to have quick
transit to the market for their agricultural
products, plan which might be adopted
with advantage in some parts of this coun-
try. He proposes a system of railways,
the cars on which can be handled by the
farmhands, and drawn either by small To-
comotives or horses. The lines must be
capable OF being laid into the fields to
move the crops in measure, like those
used on sugar and cotton estates The
gauge acknowledgement to thirty inches
requires four and a half to six feet of
ground breadth, and costs under $500 per
mile altogether. In the Woolwich Arsenal
and at Guinness brewery there are eight
cen inch gauge railways of this type,
which have for years done excellent SER
vice. At the brewery the locomotives
are about as large as good-sized
upright piano. They are fine examples of
what can be done in traction on really
light. narrow-gauge lines. In Decauvile
France, there is a portable railway that
has long been successfully used in farm
work. Major-GeneraI Weber estimates
that 24-inch gauge lines can be laid with
20-pound rails, at the rate stated to give a
receipt of SO cents per mile. He holds that
if agriculture is TO derive any benefit from
light railways they must be really light
They must not be simply thin paper edi-
tions of standard-gauge lines cut down to
the danger point of strength but carefully
designed combinations of track and
rollingstock, entirely divorced from all
idea of their utilization by standard
vehicles. 1t is not imperative that the
roadside portions should be of the portable
track type, put together in sections, al
though where those portions are to be laid
by the farmers themselves this is desir-
able. The idea of farmer laying any
thing of the fashion of a railroad may be
repugnant to the average railway man,
but it will seem very natural and proper to
the farmer as soon as he finds that the
light railway is putting him into prompt
touch with the markets.

ING FRUrs.-M. Zacharewicz, a professor
of agriculture, has found by experiment
with differently colored glasses that fruits
ripen earlier and better under clear glass

the foliage at the expense of the fruit
Violet glass, on the other hand, increases
the quantity of the fruit at the cost OF its
